Shi Zhan's body crashed to the ground, and the deathly silence in the square lasted only three breaths.
"kill!!"
A piercing roar shattered the silence. Shi Lie, the second elder of the Shi family, suddenly drew his sword, the blade pointing directly at Xiao Chen. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with a desperate madness.
"Shi family members, fight them to the death! Today, we will either raze the Bai family to the ground or die here! If we retreat, our Shi family will be wiped out one by one, and we won't even be able to protect our ancestral graves!"
He knew very well that with Shi Zhan dead, the Shi family had no way out. With Xiao Chen, a killing god, in charge of the Bai family, if they didn't fight their way out today, the Shi family would only suffer an even more miserable death once the Bai family patriarch broke through.
"Let's give it our all!"
"Avenge the Grand Elder!"
The Shi family members, driven to the brink of despair by his roar, raised their weapons and charged towards the Bai family like a tidal wave.
"Form a defensive formation!" Bai Biao roared, and the Bai family disciples quickly formed a defensive formation, their sword light and spiritual energy intertwining to meet the Shi family's attack.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sounds of clashing weapons, screams, and roars instantly echoed across the square—a chaotic battle had broken out!
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, and he was about to step forward to help when a figure blocked his way—it was Shi Lie, the second elder of the Shi family.
Shi Lie held a long sword, his aura not as powerful as Shi Zhan's, but it carried a ruthless determination to fight to the death: "Boy, you killed my elder brother, pay with your life!"
A flash of sword light, aimed straight at Xiao Chen's throat, each move ruthless, a fighting style intended to kill each other.
Xiao Chen snorted coldly, his rusty iron spear trembling as it unleashed a net of spear shadows, deflecting all of Shi Lie's sword attacks. Having advanced to the Dao Inquiry Realm, his control over spiritual power had become even more refined, making him more than capable of dealing with someone like Shi Lie, who was in the mid-stage of the Dao Proof Realm.
With a light tap of the spear tip, he could always deflect the opponent's sword at the last second, forcing Shi Lie to retreat repeatedly, his face growing increasingly grim.
On the other side of the square, Tang Wen originally intended to continue observing from the sidelines.
The most cost-effective approach would be for the Shi and Bai families to fight to the bitter end, with the Tang family then stepping in to clean up the mess. However, Shi Lie's words, "If the Tang family doesn't intervene, they'll be the ones to be purged in the future anyway," pierced her illusions like a needle.
Yes, if the Bai family truly produces a Creation Realm ancestor, how could they tolerate those forces that once coveted the Bai family? Today the Shi family is gone, tomorrow it will be the Tang family's turn.
"Tang family members, make your move!" Tang Wen gritted her teeth, flicked her whisk, and purple spiritual energy billowed out like silk. "First, help the Shi family break the Bai family's formation!"
The Tang family members were prepared and immediately joined the battle, launching a fierce attack on the Bai family's defenses from the flank.
The Bai family's formation was already on the verge of collapse due to the Shi family's attacks. Now, with the addition of fresh troops from the Tang family, the situation became extremely dangerous. Several elders were forced to retreat repeatedly, sustaining multiple wounds.
"Tang Wen, you old devil, how dare you!" Bai Biao was both shocked and furious, but he was entangled by several skilled members of the Shi family and could not spare any attention.
Just then, a burly figure stood like an iron tower in front of the Tang family members.
"You guys, you're just bullying people because there are more of you, aren't you?"
Shi Tou grinned and faced the Tang family disciples with his bare hands. With each swing of his fist, a sound of wind breaking was heard, and he sent the two Tang family cultivators at the forefront flying, spitting out blood.
"Where did this brute come from!" Tang Wen's eyes turned cold upon seeing this. She personally rushed over, her whisk imbued with purple spiritual energy, coiling around the stone's neck like a venomous snake. "Get out of my way!"
Shi Tou neither dodged nor avoided it, but blocked with his left arm, forcefully trapping the silver threads of the whisk between his arms.
"Sizzle!"
The silver thread left a few shallow bloodstains on his arm, but it did not cause any serious injury.
"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Wen's eyes. Her silver threads were coated with a potent poison; even an ordinary cultivator at the Dao Proving Realm would be torn apart by a single blow, yet this burly man only suffered minor injuries?
"Your whip is not bad, it's just a bit too soft." Shi Tou chuckled, then suddenly threw a punch with his right arm, aiming straight for Tang Wen's face!
The punch was fierce and carried a savage aura like that of a wild beast, forcing Tang Wen to retract her whisk and retreat repeatedly.
Tang Wen steadied herself, looked at the aura emanating from the stone, and frowned slightly. "Interesting, a body cultivator?"
She no longer let her guard down. With a light wave of her whisk, purple spiritual energy condensed into dozens of sharp spikes, which shot towards the stone like a rainstorm!
With a low shout, Shi Tou unleashed both fists, smashing the spiritual energy spikes one by one. He stomped his foot, causing the ground to crack open like a spiderweb. Using the force of the recoil, he charged towards Tang Wen like a cannonball, engaging in close combat!
Tang Wen's forte is remote control, but she was caught off guard when Shi Tou got close and became flustered.
Her whisk sometimes transformed into a long whip to lash out, and sometimes condensed into a shield for defense, but she was always forced to retreat by the stone's brute force.
What alarmed her even more was that the strong man's strength was getting stronger and stronger during the fight!
At first, although Stone's fists were heavy, she could skillfully deflect them with her spiritual power; but after dozens of moves, Stone's fists seemed to contain some strange rhythm, each punch was heavier and more powerful than the last, her spiritual power shield was pounded and buzzed, and her arms began to go numb.
"This is impossible!" Tang Wen was shocked. She had seen body cultivators before, but she had never seen one who could grow stronger in real time during battle. This simply defied the common sense of cultivation!
"You're... pretty tough!"
As he pounded the stone with gusto, he roared and howled. His wounds healed rapidly under the nourishment of spiritual energy, and his muscles bulged, faintly glowing with a pale golden light—a sign that his physical strength had been pushed to its limit.
He punched Tang Wen's shield, and with a "crack", the shield actually cracked!
Tang Wen turned pale with fright and quickly retreated several feet. Her initial disdain for the stone turned into complete fear. This was no mere body cultivator; it was clearly a savage beast that grew stronger with each battle!
