165: Everything is in the plan

Jiang Donghua faced Bai Xiaofeng's sneer and Tieshan's approach, yet his expression remained calm, his lips even curling slightly into a mocking smile.

"Ninth Young Master, I really must thank you."

Bai Xiaofeng was stunned upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered.

"Trying to fool me? Ridiculous!"

He violently waved his hand and shouted sternly.

"Tieshan, attack!"

Tieshan obeyed the command, his Dou Qi erupting all over his body, his muscles bulging as he charged toward Jiang Donghua like a savage beast!

However, just as he took a step forward.

"Pfft!"

A black shadow flashed out from outside the carriage like a ghost, moving so fast that even the air was torn apart!

"Boom—!"

Tieshan didn't even have time to react before his chest was pierced by a withered, skinny palm!

Blood splattered, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked down in disbelief.

"You...?!

Yao Sha, the Third Elder of the Yao Family, had appeared inside the carriage at some unknown point. He was now retrieving his palm with a sinister smile, scarlet blood dripping from his fingertips.

"A mere Dou Wang dares to act presumptuously in front of this old man?"

Tieshan trembled all over, his Dou Qi dissipating, and his massive body crashed to the ground, dead on the spot!

Bai Xiaofeng's expression changed abruptly, and he quickly retreated several steps, a hint of fear finally appearing in his eyes.

"Yao Sha?!"

Yao Sha shook the blood from his hand and chuckled grimly.

"Ninth Young Master, did you think only you knew how to play tricks?"

Bai Xiaofeng abruptly turned to look at Jiang Donghua, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"You, you colluded with the Yao Family long ago?!"

Jiang Donghua slowly stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked at him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Ninth Young Master, you overestimate yourself."

"Did you think I wouldn't know just because you secretly informed the Bai Family?"

"Did you think I truly considered you trash just because you pretended to be foolish?"

"Heh, what I was waiting for was for you to actively lure Bai Yan out!"

Bai Xiaofeng's face turned pale, and he finally realized that he had completely fallen into Jiang Donghua's scheme!

At this moment, Bai Yan, who was fighting fiercely in the distance, also noticed the anomaly. He abruptly turned his head and shouted angrily.

"Xiaofeng, retreat!"

However, it was too late!

"Boom—!"

Yao Jidao, the First Elder of the Yao Family, seized the moment Bai Yan was distracted, unleashing a palm strike. Dark purple Dou Qi roared like a poisonous dragon, fiercely striking Bai Yan's chest!

"Pfft—!"

Bai Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, his body violently retreating dozens of yards, his aura instantly weakening!

The situation was completely reversed!

Jiang Donghua's gaze was icy cold. He slowly raised his hand, his voice chilling like ice.

"Now, it's time to clear the area."

In another battlefield, Yao Ming, the Second Elder of the Yao Family, was shrouded in cold black Dou Qi. The oppressive might of an Eight-Star Dou Huang crushed down like a tide.

Facing him was Qin Wuye, the Ninth Elder of the Bai Family, who was now covered in blood. His left arm had been forcefully torn off, the pale white bone splinters exposed to the air, and blood dropped continuously.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Qin Wuye knelt on one knee, his face ashen, yet a frantic light still flickered in his eyes.

"Yao Ming, do you really intend to wipe us all out?!"

Yao Ming smiled grimly, concentrating a highly corrosive black mist in his palm as he slowly approached.

"Qin Wuye, blame yourself for being here today."

"You will die within the next three moves!"

Qin Wuye gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and roared angrily.

"Want me dead? You'll have to see if you have the ability!"

Before his voice faded, he slammed his chest, spitting out a mouthful of vital essence blood, which instantly turned into a bloody mist and merged into his body!

"Blood Fiend Soul Burning Technique—Activate!"

"Boom—!"

Violent blood-colored Dou Qi suddenly erupted. Qin Wuye's aura soared madly, temporarily breaking through the restraints of a Five-Star Dou Huang!

Yao Ming's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in shock and fury.

"Burning vital essence blood? Madman!"

Qin Wuye sneered, fiercely gripping his remaining right arm. A blood-red long saber materialized out of thin air, its blade wrapped in scarlet killing intent, as if it could cleave the very air!

"Yao Ming, let's go on the road together!"

"Blood Fiend Soul Severing Saber!"

"Swish—!"

A blood-colored saber light streaked across the sky. Wherever it passed, the earth cracked and space distorted!

Yao Ming dared not be negligent. He roared, clapped his palms together, and black Dou Qi furiously converged, forming a gigantic ghostly mask barrier!

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Heart Shield!"

"Boom—!!!"

The saber light collided with the ghostly mask. The terrifying shockwave instantly swept across a thousand yards, the ground collapsing and rocks shattering!

"Pfft—!"

Yao Ming was forced back several steps, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with horror.

Qin Wuye, however, was in a far more miserable state. His meridians were shattered, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he was at the end of his rope!

But he burst into maniacal laughter, his voice hoarse like a wicked ghost.

"Yao Ming, did you think that was the end of it?!"

"Blood Burst—!"

"Not good!"

Yao Ming's expression changed drastically, and he retreated frantically!

However, it was already too late!

"Rumble—!!!"

Qin Wuye's body suddenly swelled, and then, in an earth-shattering explosion, turned into a sky full of blood mist!

The terrifying impact directly hurled Yao Ming dozens of yards away, smashing him heavily into the mountain wall, his life status unknown!

Yao Sha's figure darted out like a phantom, chasing after the scattered Dou Ling Experts of the Bai Family.

Killing intent boiled in his eyes, and he sneered.

"Run? Can you escape?!"

"Hiss—!"

His five fingers formed a claw, and with a grab in the air, a Dou Ling Expert was instantly caught by an invisible force, his entire body twisting and tearing in mid-air, blood raining down!

"Regarding today's events, no one should think about getting out alive to spread the word!"

Yao Sha's figure flickered through the dense forest. Every time he struck, a Bai Family expert was killed.

In a short time, all the fleeing Dou Ling Experts had been executed, their corpses littering the ground!

Inside the carriage, Hongyu and Bi Yao were slumped on the ground, trembling all over. Their pants were already soaked, and a strong smell of urine permeated the compartment.

Their faces were pale, and their eyes were filled with despair.

"Milord, we truly don't know anything!"

Hongyu's voice trembled, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Bi Yao even knelt directly on the ground, desperately kowtowing.

"Please spare us! We are just serving maids, we didn't do anything!"

Red Silk watched them coldly, the cold light of the short blade in her hand flashing.

"You heard what shouldn't be heard, and saw what shouldn't be seen."

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two flashes of cold light passed. The heads of Hongyu and Bi Yao instantly flew up, splashing blood all over the carriage before finally rolling out onto the ground outside the carriage.

Jiang Donghua glanced at them indifferently and shook his head.

"A pity. Their skills in serving people were quite good."

He paused, then added.

"However, your purpose has been fulfilled."

Only at this moment did the two serving maids truly understand that they had been sacrificial pawns from the very beginning.

Deep within the dense forest, Lei Tian crossed his arms over his chest, the Lightning Light around him restrained. His gaze, sharp as electricity, fixed on the distant battlefield, a playful smile curling his lips as he whispered to Mo Xuan beside him.

"Mo Xuan, your Disciple is truly deeply scheming!"

"This old man is now even more curious about how he plans to escape next."

Mo Xuan frowned slightly, his gaze complex as he looked toward Jiang Donghua, and slowly said.

"Elder Brother Lei, although Donghua acts ruthlessly, he never does anything without assurance."

"Hmph!"

Lei Tian scoffed, a scrutinizing light flashing in his eyes.

"A chaotic battle is a chaotic battle, but the current situation is not something a mere Dou Ling coupled with a Great Dou Master can control."

He raised his chin, gesturing towards the front.

Yao Jidao, a Peak Dou Huang, and Yao Sha, a Six-Star Dou Huang, were still watching menacingly, and although Bai Yan was severely injured, he could still pose a huge threat if he counterattacked desperately.

"No matter how brilliant his schemes are, the disparity in strength is right there."

Lei Tian said indifferently.

"Unless this boy is hiding some trump card that we don't know about."

Mo Xuan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded slowly.

"Then let's both continue watching."
