160: Chapter 160 Fighting Five Alone

Ye Yisong stood alone on the bow of the ship, gazing at the five men in black in the sky. Each of them exuded a terrifying aura, especially the two leading Martial Artists, whose cultivation had reached the Late Stage of the Martial Ancestor realm.

If he guessed correctly, the two to the northeast were likely assassins sent by the Wang Family, and the three to the southeast were likely assassins sent by the Wei Family. Although all five were masked in broad daylight, the fact that they appeared here to intercept Ye Yisong at this time meant they were almost certainly from the Wei and Wang families; there was no doubt about it.

"Oh, I didn't expect you kid to have such guts, actually daring to stay behind alone to block the five of us." Wang Jingyu looked at Ye Yisong, who was standing below, with a playful expression and said.

The five had ambushed the Ye Family treasure ship to nip Ye Yisong in the bud. Since Ye Yisong hadn't run, the five were in no hurry to make a move; the small fry below were not worth their effort.

As long as they could kill Ye Yisong, they had no interest in finishing off the severely injured Ye Jiechuan.

"Three friends, let's not let things drag on too long. Let's do it; the sooner we finish, the sooner we can call it a day." Wang Jingyu pointed his long spear and said flippantly. Without waiting for a response from the other three, he launched the attack first, crossing hundreds of meters in a single breath, his long spear thrusting straight at Ye Yisong's heart.

The black-clad Martial Artist standing beside Wang Jingyu swung his long blade horizontally, slashing at Ye Yisong's legs. The two worked in perfect coordination, linking upper and lower attacks to seal off most of Ye Yisong's movement space.

"Attack together!" Wei Chengxing leaped a few steps in the air, leading the two Wei Family members to block Ye Yisong's retreat, preventing him from regrouping with Grandfather Ye Tuantu and the others.

"Such fast speed!" Ye Yisong held a green lotus in his hand, narrowly dodging the tip of Wang Jingyu's spear and the blade light of the other Wang Family Martial Artist, only for a pair of thick, earth-yellow palms to be about to strike his waist from behind.

The attacks of the three lacked any technique; they were all infused with pure Spiritual Qi, charging with brute force. Facing such a three-sided siege, Ye Yisong dared not carelessly take their attacks head-on. He narrowly dodged the palms behind him, stepped on the clouds, and ascended, putting some distance between himself and them.

From high in the air, Ye Yisong had a clear view below. Grandfather Ye Tuantu had already led Ye Jiechuan and the clan Disciples into the Fire Cloud Stronghold. Fighting five people alone, he had no chance of winning.

Just as he was about to retreat into the Fire Cloud Stronghold, the two in the distance who had not yet made a move nocked their bows and fired arrows simultaneously at the descending Ye Yisong, forcing him to abandon his descent and return to the treasure ship.

"Martial Ancestor level archers; this is troublesome."

With three in melee and two at range, Ye Yisong's pressure increased significantly. It would be difficult for him to escape the battlefield and avoid the five-person siege.

Especially with the two Martial Ancestor level archers constantly watching from the periphery, Ye Yisong couldn't easily slip into the Fire Cloud Stronghold. He could imagine that every time he tried to descend, the two would definitely interfere from a distance, and combined with the coordination of the other three, sigh!

Ye Yisong quietly took out five Tier 4 Low Grade Thunder-Fire Talismans, his eyes fixed on the sword-wielding Wang Family Martial Ancestor, considering whether to give him a heavy blow, open a gap, and quickly regroup with his clansmen in the Fire Cloud Stronghold.

As long as he entered the Fire Cloud Stronghold, it would not necessarily be clear who was the butcher and who was the meat by then.

After thinking for half a breath, Ye Yisong put away the Talisman in his hand. Now was not the time; this trump card should be used later to truly exert its effect.

The Tier 4 Talisman could not be used for now; he could only use that move.

"Buddhas Fury Fire Lotus!"

Ye Yisong pressed his palms together, merging the two green lotuses into one. A deep blue green lotus gradually took shape. As the two green lotuses merged, a powerful energy fluctuation spread out.

"Quick, stop him! Sweep across the army!"

Feeling the strong energy fluctuations permeating the air, Wang Jingyu's offensive became even more fierce, attempting to interrupt Ye Yisong's Fusion process.

Seeing this, the others also accelerated their attacks. Relying on his Late Stage Martial Ancestor cultivation, Wei Chengxing charged forward directly. The earth-yellow light on his palms became even more intense, turning his palms into blades, pressing down like Mount Hua, and slashing down fiercely.

The two Wei Family archers, who had been holding their shots, fired one arrow at Ye Yisong's back and another at his side, sealing off two of his escape routes.

"Too late! Explode!"

Ye Yisong feinted with the fully merged green lotus in his hand, appearing to strike at Wei Chengxing, but actually attacking the Wang Family's blade-wielding Martial Artist who had been hovering around him.

Seeing Ye Yisong holding that green lotus exuding powerful energy and charging at him regardless, Wei Chengxing was shocked and hurriedly retreated.

The prerequisite for besieging Ye Yisong was to ensure his own safety. If he got himself killed, it would be a huge loss.

They were all people with elderly parents and young children; their families couldn't withstand such storms.

"Not good, it's a trap."

Wei Chengxing had only retreated a few steps before he realized that Ye Yisong was not attacking him, but the swordsman to his rear right. At this moment, it was a step too late to swing his palms to attack Ye Yisong again.

The Wang Family swordsman hadn't been happy for long before he saw Ye Yisong dodge Wang Jingyu's spear, take two arrows head-on, change direction, and charge straight at him, scaring him out of his wits.

Under Ye Yisong's deliberate movement, the Wang Family swordsman was only dozens of meters away from Ye Yisong. With nowhere left to retreat, he could only collide head-on with this energy orb.

In desperation, he could only spend money to save his life. He activated three Tier 4 defensive Talismans at once as if they were worthless. The merged green lotus collided with him, and a small mushroom cloud rose within a radius of hundreds of meters, centered on him.

During the gap in the explosion, Ye Yisong, with lightning speed, quickly descended and fled into the Fire Cloud Stronghold below, his figure disappearing from sight.

"Are you okay?"

Wang Jingyu looked at the swordsman who had been blasted into a bloody mess and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, cough cough cough, just some superficial injuries. Fortunately, I decisively activated three Tier 4 defensive Talismans, which offset most of the damage. Plus, with the protection of my Tier 4 protective armor, I managed to withstand the last bit of the explosion's aftermath." The Wang Family swordsman wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with lingering fear.

"It's good that you're fine." Wang Jingyu withdrew his gaze and looked at the Fire Cloud Stronghold below. The once bustling stronghold had now become silent, a dead silence, terrifyingly quiet.

The five stood on the Ye Family's treasure ship, blowing in the cool breeze, and for a moment, no one spoke.

"Wei... friend, they can afford to wait, but we cannot. If the Ye Family reinforcements arrive, it will be troublesome." Finally, Wang Jingyu broke the silence and said, "I don't believe that with this dilapidated stronghold, they can withstand the five of us."

"Good, let's kill our way down together, leaving no one alive." Wei Chengxing suggested after thinking for a few breaths.

"Straightforward, let's kill!"
