7: Monster!

When Xu Sanyan returned to the Ma family compound, the situation here had changed. Five figures were confronting each other in the courtyard, two of whom were Wu Jue and Geng the Cripple.

On the other hand, among the other three, a child was being protected by two burly men, staring warily at Wu Jue and the other.

Somehow, Ma Tianqing had been found by them.

"He was indeed hiding in the Ma family!"

Xu Sanyan muttered to himself, that child should be Ma Tianqing.

Just then, Geng the Cripple pulled out a bamboo tube from his Pregnant, aimed it at the sky, and pulled the fuse at the bottom. The bamboo tube exploded with a bang, and a splash of bright red mist erupted in the sandstorm.

Everyone immediately understood what had happened. This was Geng the Cripple calling for backup!

Wu Jue's expression changed, and he said incredulously, "You're actually going to share the Cultivation Technique?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Geng the Cripple laughed triumphantly, "Wu Laokou, oh Wu Laokou, you lost because you're too narrow-minded. You always want to monopolize all the benefits, and that's why you can never defeat me."

Geng the Cripple had long discussed with a few of his brothers that they would cultivate the Cultivation Technique together after obtaining it. Only by getting their hands on the Cultivation Technique would they be qualified to discuss other matters.

Wu Jue, on the other hand, was exactly the opposite. He was afraid that his subordinates would get out of control, so he always restricted them. This time, he also went to great lengths to send Xu Sanyan and the other away, which led to the current awkward situation.

The situation on the field changed in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he became the weakest party.

Xu Sanyan lay on the roof observing. After a while, three people darted out from all directions and quickly rushed towards the red mist. Judging by their speed, all of them were experts at Refining Essence. Even if they were not as good as him, they were not far off.

Xu Sanyan frowned. The situation was getting more and more out of control. After thinking for a moment, he took out a wooden box from his Pregnant and opened it. A fragrant scent rushed into his nostrils.

With a big battle imminent, it was good to increase his strength even a little.

So, without hesitation, he chewed and swallowed it. Immediately, a warm current surged from inside his body, instantly spreading throughout his entire being.

His internal organs were all nourished by the warm current, as if his body organs had been taken out and bathed in a warm summer sun.

"Ah..." Xu Sanyan groaned.

Good stuff!

After swallowing the last bite of the precious medicine, he opened his panel to check. His Realm was still Refining Essence Perfection, but the last column had changed.

[Qi – 1]

A hint of excitement was contained in Xu Sanyan's eyes. He had found a way to actively replenish "Qi"!

It turned out that precious medicine was needed, or perhaps not just precious medicine. He remembered Liu Hong saying before that precious medicine contained Spiritual Qi, so perhaps all Heaven And Earth Treasure containing Spiritual Qi could replenish "Qi."

After the sensation on his body faded, Xu Sanyan looked at the field again. The three parties had already started fighting. Surprisingly, Wu Jue had teamed up with the three Ma family members to fight against Geng the Cripple and his four men.

The situation on the field became four against four.

It seemed that Geng the Cripple was too strong, forcing them to team up, but even so, they were still at a disadvantage.

Although Ma Tianqing was at Refining Essence Perfection, he was still too young, and his Martial Skill was not mature, making it difficult for him to face a Refining Essence Martial Artist alone.

Fortunately, that Martial Artist did not intend to kill him, but rather wanted to capture him alive, which gave him a chance to turn the tide.

The situation on the field was tense. Xu Sanyan waited silently, waiting for them to decide the victor, while he would be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

In an instant, one of the Ma family's burly men was defeated by Geng the Cripple's subordinate. For Wu Jue's side, the situation instantly worsened.

Ma Tianqing couldn't help but get distracted and shouted, "Fourth Uncle!"

"Don't mind us, run!"

Before he died, the burly man desperately charged towards Ma Tianqing's opponent, wanting to buy him time with his life.

But he failed. Geng the Cripple's subordinate threw a long saber, which instantly pierced through his heart. The burly man fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Fourth Uncle!" Ma Tianqing's eyes welled up with tears as he roared.

"Hahaha, if you hand over the Cultivation Technique, how about I let you live?" Geng the Cripple laughed loudly.

"Dream on!"

Although Ma Tianqing was young, he was not a fool. He knew that to survive, he had to fight for it himself. The other party would never let him go.

The four-on-four situation had turned into four-on-three. Wu Jue's eyes flickered, and he already had the thought of retreating. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be wood to burn. Saving his life was the priority.

"Geng the Cripple, you won this time. We'll meet again!" Wu Jue gritted his teeth, ready to withdraw.

Geng the Cripple grinned, "Hahaha, when have I not won? Let's settle our grievances completely today!"

With that, his long saber became even more ferocious, clearly not wanting to let him leave.

On the other side, Geng the Cripple's two subordinates fought one-on-one, and soon defeated another burly man from the Ma family. The situation was completely out of control.

Xu Sanyan frowned tightly. He didn't expect the two Ma family members to be so useless. He had to show himself. If he waited for Geng the Cripple to deal with Wu Jue as well, he would completely lose his chance.

With a slight thought, Xu Sanyan was about to get up but quickly lay back down. He saw Ma Tianqing close his eyes tightly, and a black mist actually appeared behind him. Even the sky full of yellow sand could not blow it away.

The thick mist was full of darkness, seemingly nurturing some terrifying monster. A single glance made one's heart clench.

Geng the Cripple's eyes swept over, and he immediately became nervous. He didn't know what methods cultivators had, but it was definitely not good news. "Quick, interrupt him!"

Without him saying anything, the others also understood. They all rushed forward with urgency, and three long sabers chopped towards his limbs respectively.

"Clang!"

The long sabers struck Ma Tianqing's body, as if striking raw iron, actually emitting the sound of metal clashing.

Xu Sanyan narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. A thin layer of black smoke actually appeared around Ma Tianqing's body.

"Oww!"

A beastly roar came from the black mist. Ma Tianqing slowly opened his eyes. His clear eyes were filled with a dark black color, staining his pupils pitch black.

"What kind of method is this!"

Geng the Cripple exclaimed, no longer caring about Wu Jue. His body flickered, instantly appearing above Ma Tianqing's head, and he swung a powerful saber downwards.

Ma Tianqing seemed to not see it and did not dodge. Just as the long saber was about to land on his head, a pitch-black arm stretched out from the black mist. Three slender fingers, like sharp daggers, easily blocked the long saber.

"Clang!"

Geng the Cripple was repelled by the recoil force, retreating several steps before steadying himself.

Xu Sanyan watched dumbfounded as a humanoid figure walked out of the black mist. Its slender body, nearly three meters tall, was entirely pitch black, and it was slightly hunched.

A huge eye grew on its forehead, and below the eye was a giant mouth filled with dense, sharp teeth.

Its two arms dangled to its knees, and its feet were like frog webs, with a layer of webbing connecting between its toes.

"What is this thing..."

At this moment, this thought flashed through everyone's minds.

"Run!"

Geng the Cripple turned and fled, no longer having any thought of competing for the Cultivation Technique. Such a terrifying monster was far beyond his ability to contend with.

"Oww!"

The monster roared and quickly rushed forward. In Xu Sanyan's line of sight, he only saw a black shadow flash, and Geng the Cripple's two arms already appeared in the monster's hands, which it was chewing and swallowing loudly.

"Ah!"

Geng the Cripple cried out in pain, and the monster moved again. The scream stopped abruptly. The monster's huge mouth was almost split to its ears, and it bit off Geng the Cripple's entire head.

"Holy crap!"

Xu Sanyan quickly pulled his head back, leaving only his eyes to observe.

Facing this kind of monster, even if they combined their strength, it wouldn't be enough to fight it.
