Chapter 445 is roughly resolved.
Lian Tianqi's expression turned ferocious in an instant.
I have never been so humiliated!
Even when he wasn't as highly regarded by the Feng family as he is now, they treated him well and were very respectful...
But now, he was actually thrown down at the feet of the guy who stole his wife and was almost beaten to death by him!
Yes, although Lian Tianqi was mostly lying on the side of the silver wolf, the direction his head was facing was towards Wu Dongxiao's feet.
This was merely a coincidence, yet it brought Lian Tianqi immense humiliation.
Lian Tianqi knew he was trapped, and despite feeling extremely ashamed and indignant, he turned his head away to avoid letting the enemy see his hateful gaze.
At the same time, he tried his best to calm down and remembered the calls he had heard earlier.
Wu Shaogan... that name sounds so familiar.
·
Decades ago, before Lian Tianqi's aptitude had improved, Wu Shaogan had already engaged in a fierce battle with the top player at the time, and from then on, he suppressed the younger generation.
At that time, Lian Tianqi was both envious and jealous, only regretting that he was not the one who became famous.
After returning to the Feng family, Lian Tianqi watched Wu Shaogan's image many times and memorized it. However, as his aptitude changed and the Feng family no longer treated him with the same respect as before, he gradually let go of his past feelings.
Now, when we were chasing that guy, how come we didn't realize that he looked so much like Wu Shaogan?
Unexpectedly, that guy is not only Wu Shaogan's nephew, but he also managed to summon Wu Shaogan! I wonder what methods he used!
After personally experiencing Wu Shaogan's fist techniques, Lian Tianqi truly understood why so many people turned pale at the mention of Wu Shaogan—it was probably not only because Wu Shaogan was a formidable fighter, but also because fighting Wu Shaogan would unconsciously instill a chilling fear in one's scalp.
·
Lian Tianqi's heart pounded like a drum, feeling as if he were "a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others."
But as his mind raced, he felt that his life should be safe.
He did pursue and kill Wu Dongxiao, but ultimately he didn't truly harm him. With the Tongtian Ancestor as his backer, it seems that after some negotiation, he should only need to compensate Wu Dongxiao for his losses and pay some other price...
Lian Tianqi gradually calmed down.
No matter how angry I am, I have to get through this first...
We'll see.
·
However, just as Lian Tianqi thought he had thought things through thoroughly, a warm and lively voice rang out from above:
"Dongxiao, he's been hunting you down, so you should kill him yourself!"
Lian Tianqi suddenly looked up and instantly saw the handsome young man on the back of the silver wolf.
The King of Zhongdan looked very relaxed, and when he talked about "killing" him, it was as if he were crushing a small insect.
At the same time, a gentle voice rang out.
"Listen to your Uncle Zhong."
It came from Wu Shaogan, drifting leisurely from in front of the silver wolf.
It was described in a light and understated manner.
Don't think about anything.
What was even more alarming was that, not far away, the two feet that had humiliated Lian Tianqi were now standing in front of him.
Lian Tianqi felt the shadow gradually enveloping him...
Wu Dongxiao, looking down at him from his high vantage point, smiled and agreed.
"Yes, uncles! I understand!"
Lian Tianqi's face turned deathly pale. He couldn't think of anything else to say, and hurriedly stammered, "Wait! I can compensate you—"
However, none of his discussions and pleas that he so desperately wanted to express were actually uttered.
A halberd engulfed in black flames came down from above, aiming to sever his head in one blow!
Lian Tianqi instinctively rolled over, but he couldn't completely dodge the halberd.
—That's right, Wu Dongxiao is much faster than him. He was only able to chase down the other party earlier because he had the help of those Feng family cultivators who were at a higher level.
A sharp pain shot through his neck, and Lian Tianqi quickly reached out and covered his neck.
Rolling around had limited effect, but it did manage to deflect the halberd, preventing it from completely severing his neck. Instead, it created a large gash from which a large amount of blood gushed out, causing his vision to darken slightly.
However, Wu Dongxiao's Black Dragon Halberd came slashing down one after another!
Lian Tianqi rolled over again, and whether it was his past experience of escaping when he was weak that worked, or Wu Dongxiao's deliberate "cat and mouse" game, he managed to dodge several times in a row.
However, Lian Tianqi was injured every time, not only with a new cut on his neck, but also on his shoulder and arm—when he swung his arm to try to protect his vitals, his arm was cut off!
It's ridiculous.
Lian Tianqi felt humiliated when he was lying on the ground, and now that he was crawling and rolling, he felt even more humiliated.
The only thing keeping Lian Tianqi alive in this miserable state is Elder Feng San's ability to escape as soon as possible and come to his rescue... his only hope for survival.
Even if Wu Dongxiao wanted to humiliate him like this, he could endure it!
·
In fact, Wu Dongxiao did not intend to humiliate Lian Tianqi; he wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
However, Lian Tianqi's will to survive was too strong, and because Wu Dongxiao had consumed too much Xuan power before, he actually managed to dodge several times.
But that's the end of it.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Wu Dongxiao decisively squeezed out all the profound energy within his body and directly used the secret technique!
In an instant, the shadows of halberds covered the sky and blocked Lian Tianqi from all directions!
Let's see where he can run now!
·
Lian Tianqi was indeed trapped. Even if he disregarded his image and tried to crawl around aimlessly, there was nowhere left to crawl.
He wanted to endure the humiliation and bide his time, but Wu Dongxiao didn't give him the chance.
Several halberd shadows slammed into Lian Tianqi, severing his head and piercing through his heart and abdomen.
All that remained was a longsword.
It was his precious companion.
Wu Dongxiao took out a bottle and poured out the medicinal liquid inside.
On the accompanying treasure, a faint, mournful howl seemed to dissipate.
Lian Tianqi's primordial spirit was also destroyed.
He's completely dead.
·
From the moment Wu Dongxiao took out the Black Dragon Halberd to the moment he killed Lian Tianqi, it only took a few breaths—even though Lian Tianqi dodged several times, a few rounds between fusion cultivators are still very fast.
Therefore, the Feng family members, who were seriously injured and lying on the ground, only stared in disbelief for a few moments before Lian Tianqi died right in front of them, before they could even react.
While Elder Feng was still enduring the attacks of the two armored warriors, he was distracted by Lian Tianqi and happened to see him being chased and killed several times by Wu Dongxiao in a sorry state, and then dying at his hands.
During this time, Elder Feng San tried to come to the rescue several times, but he was still unable to spare any resources.
Those two armored warriors were too troublesome. When Elder Feng tried to break free, the warriors seized the opportunity and left several wounds on him, forcing him to return to defense.
Despite the presence of so many people, none of them could save Lian Tianqi's life.
Elder Feng felt a sudden pang of heartache—for the resources he had provided to Lian Tianqi, and for the effort he had wasted on Lian Tianqi.
He never expected that these two genius juniors, Zhong and Wu, would actually flip the table!
They had just arrived and probably didn't even know Lian Tianqi's background. How could they have dared to kill Lian Tianqi so easily, even though he was protected by Nirvana and driven by Transformation Spirit?!
Elder Feng felt immense pressure.
This time he went out with Lian Tianqi, but ended up losing Lian Tianqi's life. How is he going to explain this to his family when he gets back?
·
In fact, Zhong Cai, who initially issued the order to kill Lian Tianqi, did not yet know that Lian Tianqi was the great-grandson of the Venerable Tongtian who "should value him highly." However, after arriving here, he had been subtly observing the expressions of the cultivators who attacked Wu Dongxiao.
Zhong Cai noticed that these cultivators recognized him and his old man with worry and anxiety.
What does this tell us?
This shows that even if they have powerful backers, they are no stronger than the Lingxian Sect and the War God Palace.
If that's the case, what is there to worry about?
Zhong Cai revealed a cold smile.
This group has trampled on the faces of the top geniuses of the Temple of War. Are you going to let them off lightly? Wouldn't that mean that the geniuses of the Temple of War can be hunted down at will, and as long as they are not killed, they can just pay some compensation afterwards and be done with it?
Where is the dignity of the War God Temple and the Spirit Immortal Sect?
If he and Lao Wu allow others to bully their nephew like this, where will their dignity be?
The ancient city has been upgraded to its current state, and with the protection of the mutated dragon armor soldiers, its offense and defense are extremely strong. It is not something that can make them cower in fear just because the other party may have an extraordinary background.
Therefore, Zhong Cai didn't care about Lian Tianqi's powerful backer and just killed him directly.
Wu Dongxiao did not take action on his own initiative because he had considered the opinions of his two uncles.
Once he received the order, he acted without any hesitation.
·
Wu Shaogan strolled over to Zhong Cai's side and leaned against the silver wolf.
Zhong Cai grabbed Wu Shaogan's arm and said with a pout, "I don't think it's acceptable for these people to bully the younger ones."
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly and said gently, "Then let's kill all those who have reached the Palace Construct stage or above."
The moment the words left his mouth, two more armored warriors appeared beside Silver Wolf.
They still looked very similar to puppets, and in a flash, they rushed straight into the group of heavily injured Feng family cultivators.
For every person who passes by, one person is killed.
Those Feng family cultivators had already been either killed or seriously injured by Wu Shaogan's previous punches, and were then stunned by the death of Lian Tianqi. Now, when they were attacked by armored warriors who were comparable to Nirvana, they were almost unable to make a proper reaction... Even those who managed to hold on and take out their Xuan weapons or use secret techniques to resist were simply unable to resist.
It only takes the time it takes to breathe.
All the palace builders and spirit cultivators were killed without exception.
Only two fusion cultivators remained, the lucky ones who had escaped death during Wu Shaogan's attack, and they were no longer among those to be slaughtered.
They were covered in cold sweat.
The arrogance he once displayed when following Lian Tianqi, and the fawning he showed when trying to please him, have now turned into unspeakable fear.
That's terrifying.
These were all powerful members of the same clan, yet in such a short time, they were all dead.
The two Feng families regretted merging even more.
I should have known better than to try and curry favor with Lian Tianqi...
At the very least, we shouldn't have joined in chasing after that kid... no, that disciple of the Temple of War!
How could the Feng family possibly afford to offend the Temple of War?
Not to mention, it also attracted Wu Shaogan, that killing god!
I wonder if they'll survive...
·
On the other side, seeing his family members being killed one after another, Elder Feng felt even more heartbroken and wanted to rush out to save them. However, he did not expect that the armored soldiers who were besieging him would suddenly surge in power and suppress him in an instant. Moreover, their attacks were so fierce that they injured him instantly!
The two newly-armored warriors, who had just finished their slaughter and were now free, unleashed strength comparable to the peak of Nirvana and rushed over to join the two warriors in attacking Elder Feng from all sides.
Although puppets, even at the same level, are often far less agile than cultivators and are usually no match for them, if a puppet of a minor realm completely overwhelms a cultivator, or even if several puppets gang up on him... then the cultivator will naturally not be able to escape.
Elder Feng unleashed extremely powerful strength, but unfortunately, even the residual force of his power could not break free from the restraints of the four armored warriors, nor could it even cause any impact on the surrounding environment.
Feeling stifled, extremely stifled.
In this frustrating situation, Elder Feng was brutally killed by several armored soldiers working together.
He died a gruesome death, his body covered in wounds, with almost no healthy flesh left on his body.
After his death, the treasure he was born with was also revealed.
Zhong Cai threw a bottle from a distance.
A soldier caught the bottle and used its medicinal liquid to completely destroy the primordial spirit fused within the accompanying treasure.
Elder Feng, along with Lian Tianqi, whom he longed for, met the same fate.
The other palace-building and spirit-transformation beings that weren't completely dead were all utterly destroyed.
·
Zhong Cai waved.
Several armored soldiers flashed back and entered the ancient city.
Ahead lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
And among the corpses were two Feng family fusion cultivators who were barely alive.
Zhong Cai said with a smile, "You two can leave now."
The two Feng families were cautious and supportive of each other as they tried to reunite.
"Really...really?"
Zhong Cai looked surprised and said, "You're not using your cultivation level to intimidate people, so of course you can leave."
The two members of the Feng family took a deep breath and slowly prepared to turn around.
Suddenly, they were called back.
Zhong Cai: "Oh, right!"
The two members of the Feng family trembled slightly as they merged: "Please...please give your instructions, senior."
Zhong Cai's eyes gleamed coldly, and her smile held no warmth whatsoever.
"Please take all your clansmen back with you, and also send a message to your elders, asking them what kind of explanation you have for bullying the disciples of my Spirit Immortal Sect and War God Hall."
The two cultivators from the Feng family swallowed slightly, concealing their emotions.
They maintained a semblance of respect and replied in hushed tones, "Yes."
Then, the two quickly put all the bodies of the clansmen into the mustard seed bag, while the corpses of Lian Tianqi and Elder Feng were put into two separate bags.
After that, they didn't dare to use their movement techniques and just staggered away quickly.
·
The entire mountainside suddenly became much quieter.
Zhong Cai leaped off the silver wolf and threw herself into Wu Shaogan's arms.
Wu Shaogan caught him, in a good mood.
Then, the two stood side by side.
The silver wolf lay quietly on one side of the cave, seemingly guarding the entrance.
Wu Dongxiao and the female cultivator beside him walked over at that moment.
The female cultivator bowed to the two and said, "Junior Qin Huayue pays respects to King Zhong Dan and King Wu Dou."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and felt that the name sounded familiar.
Wu Shaogan whispered a reminder: "The Liu sisters."
A series of thoughts flashed through Zhong Cai's mind and then connected together.
It seems there was such a girl who was on good terms with the Liu sisters, and even helped guard the gate while he and Old Wu were in "seclusion," waiting to pay their respects. But they came out late then, so they didn't get to see her...
I never expected to run into you like this.
And he was with their nephew.
So here's the question.
Could this Miss Qin be the boy's confidante in the original story?
Looking at them now, it seems they're just friends.
·
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "So it's Miss Qin. Have you been in contact with the two young ladies of the Liu family?"
Qin Huayue was surprised that this King Zhong Dan actually remembered her and even mentioned her good friend. She quickly said, "Although I am now far away from the two sisters of the Liu family, we still exchange letters and occasionally meet up."
The group of girls has always had a good relationship.
Even the Liu sisters, being old acquaintances of the Zhong and Wu couple, had more face than other cultivators when buying pills or trading resources at the Lingxian Sect.
When Qin Huayue lacked certain special elixirs, the Liu sisters helped her devise a plan, and Qin Huayue reciprocated by giving back the resources she had acquired.
Over time, the two became increasingly close.
·
Wu Dongxiao patted Qin Huayue on the shoulder with a smile and said in a very cheerful tone, "So Miss Qin knows my two uncles too. I haven't heard you mention it on the way here."
Qin Huayue explained, "It's just that I admire you. We've never met, so how could I dare to say it?" She smiled again, "As for Brother Wu, we haven't even exchanged names yet, and I didn't even know that you were a genius from the Temple of War."
Wu Dongxiao replied politely, "Not at all, not at all."
Zhong Cai raised her eyebrows and said with amusement, "You were all being chased together, and you still don't understand anything?"
Wu Dongxiao cleared his throat: "We were just strangers who met by chance. It's just that that shorty was blind and insisted on... Otherwise, Miss Qin and I would probably have parted ways soon."
Qin Huayue said with some shame, "It is this junior who has implicated Brother Wu."
Wu Dongxiao waved his hand and said, "What's it to you? Back then, they coveted my resources, and they also coveted yours... cough. We just happened to be the ones being coveted for our wealth and beauty. It's not a matter of who implicated whom."
Qin Huayue felt somewhat relieved.
Zhong Cai gleaned some information from the two men's conversation, but still couldn't discern the details. So, with a wave of his hand, he set out a table and chairs, pulled Wu Shaogan to sit down first, and poured out several cups of tea for the younger generation.
Qin Huayue was taken aback.
Wu Dongxiao was already used to it. He called out to Qin Huayue and sat down as well.
After they were seated, they began to explain in detail.
·
There was nothing particularly special about the matter itself; it was mainly due to Wu Dongxiao's bad luck.
When Wu Dongxiao went out to gain experience, he always managed to acquire some good things. So, after accidentally entering a valley, he discovered a rare and precious natural treasure that was about to reach the eighth level.
This treasure is very rare and valuable, but it's clearly just a step short and can't reach level eight.
For Wu Dongxiao, this thing would have great offensive power after reaching level eight, which would be disadvantageous to him. So this thing, which is comparable to level eight but not too dangerous, is more suitable for him.
After using some methods and summoning some defensive and offensive items, Wu Dongxiao finally killed the savage beast guarding the side.
It was during his battle with the savage beast that Qin Huayue came over from the other side. After discovering how intense the battle was, she dared not approach and immediately gave her surname to ease the murderous intent that Wu Dongxiao was looking at.
After that, Qin Huayue was indeed very well-behaved, keeping herself in a place where Wu Dongxiao could see her, without moving an inch, and without showing any signs of sneak attack.
After Wu Dongxiao successfully killed the savage beast and collected the rare natural treasure, he got to know Qin Huayue.
The two were supposed to separate quickly, but before they could even exchange a few pleasantries, someone broke into the valley!
It was Lian Tianqi, who was leading a group of people.
It turns out that Lian Tianqi had also discovered this treasure before, but he didn't have the strength to deal with it on his own, so he went back to find help.
As soon as they brought their helpers over, they discovered that someone had beaten them to it.
Naturally, the next step was to seize the treasure.
In Lian Tianqi's view, since he discovered it first, it should belong to him. How could he be expected to exchange resources for it just because he was a step behind? No way!
At the same time, he also saw Qin Huayue, thought she was very beautiful, and wanted to take her back to his backyard.
Qin Huayue scoffed.
Then Lian Tianqi sent men to arrest the two.
Qin Huayue's strength is inferior to Wu Dongxiao's. If she were released, she would likely be captured and humiliated by Lian Tianqi. Wu Dongxiao may not be the absolute best person, but his character is not bad either. In addition, he has many methods, so of course he cannot be allowed to go unpunished.
So, Wu Dongxiao pulled Qin Huayue along and they escaped together.
Although Qin Huayue only spent a short time with Wu Dongxiao, it was obvious who was more trustworthy than Lian Tianqi.
Therefore, Qin Huayue did her best to cooperate with Wu Dongxiao without offering any resistance.
Wu Dongxiao used many methods to escape, but this area was, after all, Feng family territory, which Lian Tianqi and the others knew better, so they were able to catch up with him.
Later, Wu Dongxiao fled east and west, eventually arriving at this mountain range, this mountain.
Then, Wu Dongxiao somehow accidentally stumbled into the cave and pulled Qin Huayue in with him.
They quickly obtained the array plate for manipulating the protective shield from the cave and narrowly gained control of it before the group arrived.
Prior to this, Wu Dongxiao had also decisively sent a message back.
Next, Wu Dongxiao and Qin Huayue worked together to stall for time as much as possible...
Until the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Zhong.
·
After listening carefully, Zhong Cai couldn't help but laugh and said, "So you two aren't familiar with each other yet."
Wu Dongxiao chuckled twice.
Qin Huayue said, "Although we are not very familiar with each other, Brother Wu is of noble character and has helped me a lot. I am very grateful."
Wu Dongxiao: "You're too kind, you're too kind."
He's not exactly a saint; if he were struggling to escape himself, he wouldn't have helped at all.
