25: Chapter 25 Spectating

With one Formation eye broken, the number of giant logs flying in decreased significantly. After the group parried for a while longer, no more giant logs came crashing down from the sky.

Seeing that the Formation had been broken by Fu Yihang, Huang Qiang said to Second Master Qi Zhenglu with a worried expression, "Second Master, the Formation is broken. What should we do now? Fu Yihang is not easy to deal with."

Qi Wenbiao, standing behind Second Master Qi Zhenglu, laughed out loud and said, "What? Are you scared, Brother Huang?"

Huang Qiang hurriedly explained, "How could that be? With Second Master here, why would I be afraid to deal with a mere Fu Yihang?"

Second Master Qi Zhenglu patted Qi Wenbiao on the shoulder, signaling that he could take action.

Qi Wenbiao strode forward brazenly with his group of brothers, shouting loudly, "You brats of the Fu Family, your Grandfather Qi Wenbiao is here! Come and meet your deaths!"

"Don't even look at who you are, daring to refuse our Second Master's kindness. If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll think you're actually someone important."

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Come, come, little missy, taste your grandfather's cudgel!"

"Hahaha..." the group of brothers behind him chimed in.

"Uncle, Uncle, I fear there will be a tough battle to fight soon," Fu Yihang said, glancing worriedly at his younger sister. "Five Early Stage Martial Masters, three Middle Stage Martial Masters, and one Late Stage Martial Master. The Qi Family is certainly willing to invest heavily."

"Second Master Qi Zhenglu hasn't come over yet. Who knows what kind of mischief that brat is plotting in the back," Uncle said.

Seeing this lineup, both of them felt a headache coming on. Although their side also had two Late Stage Martial Master experts, they only had one Middle Stage Martial Master, Uncle, and the rest were only Early Stage Martial Masters.

If a fight broke out now, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.

"Leave Qi Wenbiao to me. I will cripple him within three moves. Uncle, you deal with those three Middle Stage Martial Artists. Uncle, you and Miss Fu Yao and the others deal with the remaining five Early Stage Martial Artists."

Fu Yihang laid out the tactics, saying, "Since Second Master Qi Zhenglu is unwilling to come over, let's ignore him for now and kill this bunch first."

"Good! Kill those sons of bitches!"

"Killing one isn't a loss; killing two is a gain!"

The group clenched their fists and waved their hands passionately.

"Charge!" Fu Yihang drew his long sword and rushed toward Qi Wenbiao first. His Scarlet Flame Sword Technique was executed with pure mastery, fierce and powerful.

Qi Wenbiao was not intimidated. He took out a ring-shaped broadsword from his Storage Pouch and met him head-on. Upon the first contact, Qi Wenbiao was knocked flying several meters away.

Having succeeded with one move, Fu Yihang did not allow Qi Wenbiao a moment to catch his breath. He lunged forward and thrust his sword again.

Qi Wenbiao failed to react in time and was struck in the shoulder. Fresh blood sprayed out instantly, and his body could not stop stumbling backward.

Good opportunity!

Fu Yihang first flicked a Talisman from his hand. It was a High Grade Tier 3 Talisman, Mental Spike. With a faint green flash, it pierced directly into Qi Wenbiao's brain.

"Ah!" Having been injured repeatedly, Qi Wenbiao's movements were already very sluggish. Although he saw the Talisman Fu Yihang had thrown, he could not dodge in time, adding injury to injury.

Just as he was about to be cleaved to death by Fu Yihang's sword, a thin, dark-skinned man suddenly appeared in front of him, raising a large round shield to block the fatal blow.

"Huang Qiang, you are courting death!" Fu Yihang was just one sword strike away from finishing Qi Wenbiao off. He had not expected this rat of a person, Huang Qiang, to ruin his good work.

"Brother Huang, I, Qi Wenbiao, owe you a life. I will certainly reward you generously in the future!" Qi Wenbiao, having just escaped from the hands of death, was still shaken. He said this while fleeing to the back.

Damn it, I didn't expect this Fu fellow to be so fierce. I almost lost my life here today.

"Brother Fu, why be so stubborn? Isn't it better to join the Qi Family with me and share in the glory and riches?" Huang Qiang said, holding his shield to block Fu Yihang's attacks.

"Huang Qiang, I am ashamed to associate with a rat like you," Fu Yihang said, increasing his strength.

Fu Yihang had completed many missions with Huang Qiang and had long since understood the weaknesses of Huang Qiang's shield technique clearly.

Huang Qiang's Square-Round Shield Technique was both offensive and defensive, a rare High Grade Tier 3 Cultivation Technique.

Unfortunately, Huang Qiang was too clever by half, replacing the small shield with a large one. The large shield was indeed more protective than the small one, but it lost flexibility. Moreover, the large shield was easily targeted. Once an opponent launched a continuous, fierce assault and the attacks reached the shield's defensive limit, the shield risked shattering.

In a turn of events, Fu Yihang attached three Tier 3 Strength Talismans to his sword and launched several continuous, fierce attacks. With a "bang," Huang Qiang's shield exploded from the left side, evidently unusable.

His life-bound shield broken, Huang Qiang spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit instantly wilting by half.

"Huang Qiang, today is your death day. Pay with your life!" Fu Yihang's sword emitted a flash of scarlet flame light as he slashed rapidly toward Huang Qiang.

Seeing he could not dodge in time, Huang Qiang immediately crushed the Jade Talisman on his chest. The Jade Talisman erupted with a yellow light that protected Huang Qiang's whole body, blocking Fu Yihang's killing move for him.

After knocking Huang Qiang away, Fu Yihang immediately swallowed a Qi-Recovery Pill to restore the Spiritual Qi he had just consumed.

Looking around, Uncle was suppressing the three Middle Stage Martial Artists with crazy output, while Uncle, Miss Fu Yao, and the others were trading blows with the five Early Stage Martial Artists, holding their own without falling behind.

After a moment's thought, Fu Yihang ignored the fleeing Qi Wenbiao and Huang Qiang and turned to join the battle circle of Miss Fu Yao and the others.

He drifted past lightly, his Spirit Sword dancing with the wind. Five strikes, five kills—he beheaded the five Early Stage Qi Family Martial Artists on the spot.

Blood splattered everywhere!

"How dare you, you brat!" Second Master Qi Zhenglu roared and dashed toward this side, but the distance was too great; it was already too late to rescue his clansmen Cultivators.

Second Master Qi Zhenglu had originally thought that two Late Stage Martial Artist experts, even if they couldn't beat Fu Yihang, would be more than enough to hold him off for a while.

He hadn't expected that the two of them would barely withstand a few moves before being defeated. Huang Qiang's life-bound Magical Artifact had even been hacked to pieces by Fu Yihang in a few strikes.

Second Master Qi Zhenglu's plan to probe Fu Yihang's depth had completely failed, and he had also needlessly sacrificed the lives of five clansmen. He feared it would be difficult to explain this when he returned to the Family today.

"Fu Yihang, how dare you kill my Qi Family disciples!" Second Master Qi Zhenglu arrived, and seeing the blood-stained corpses of his clansmen, he said gloomily.

"Pay with your life! Today, I will use your blood to sacrifice to my clansmen!" A blue Spiritual light flickered on Second Master Qi Zhenglu's sword; it was the Qi Family's Tier 4 ultimate technique—Clear Water Jade Sword.

With a swing of his sword, tens of meters of the ground in front were instantly covered by blue water light, which surged toward Fu Yihang.

Fu Yihang did not retreat either. A touch of crimson Spiritual light adhered to his sword as he attacked Second Master Qi Zhenglu: "I would like to see if your Qi Family's Clear Water Jade Sword is stronger, or if my Fu Family's Scarlet Flame Divine Light Sword is stronger."

When the blue water light collided with the crimson divine light, all the surrounding trees were shattered by this powerful force, and the ground was left charred black.

The two completely different energies of water and fire collided, forming a unique tide of Spiritual Qi that dispersed in all directions.

Uncle and the others who were fighting were all blasted dozens of meters away by the Spiritual Qi, and thus they were separated and no longer entangled in the fight.

Fortunately, Miss Fu Yao and the others had already moved away from this battlefield when Second Master Qi Zhenglu arrived, otherwise they would surely have been seriously injured.

Fu Yihang and Second Master Qi Zhenglu simultaneously wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths and looked at each other from a distance, neither making another move.

Both sides knew that after that last sword strike, neither could take the other down in a short time. The Fu Family's reinforcements should have arrived, and continuing to fight would likely result in losses.

Moreover, that treasure ship above...

"I didn't expect this Fu Yihang to have some real skills; he's fierce enough! He knocked down a Martial Artist of the same level with one strike and killed five Early Stage Martial Masters with five strikes," Ye Yiguang said, watching with great interest.

"Thirteenth Brother, tell me, if you faced this Fu Yihang, who would be stronger?"

"It would be a matter of one sword strike," Ye Yisong said, touching his neck.
