220: Chapter 220 Battle
Chen Changjie and Chen Lingyang were dealing with the three people in front of them. Before long, after dozens of rounds, the two of them were beaten back step by step. If not for the Tier 2 Talismans previously given by Chen Changqing, the two of them would have already been killed.
"You certainly have quite a few Talismans. Let's see whether our magical power is greater, or if you have more Talismans," the owner of the green-tinted Flying Sword said coldly.
Hearing this, Chen Changjie and Chen Lingyang glanced at each other and nodded.
Chen Lingyang conjured the chiyang sword, continuously tossing out Tier 2 Medium Grade glazed talismans and Tier 2 Low Grade ice crystal talismans from his hands. He was responsible for pinning down the three people to buy an opportunity for Eleventh Aunt.
Looking at the scene before them, the other three people all wore looks of astonishment in their eyes. They had not expected that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Chen Family actually possessed so many Talismans, as if they didn't cost money at all.
"Resolve this quickly. That woman in the back definitely has some scheme in mind!"
One of them hurriedly reminded the others. The next moment, Chen Changjie took out a Tier 2 Top Grade Talisman, the wind-rending talisman. She continuously poured her magical power into it, activating the Talisman in her hand.
Seizing the opportunity, the opposing three made their move. They could sense the terrifying power of that Tier 2 Top Grade Talisman; once activated by the opponent, they would likely die right here.
After all, the highest cultivation among the three of them was only the Foundation Establishment 5th Layer. Facing a full-strength strike that could unleash the power of the Foundation Establishment 9th Layer Perfection, they knew they didn't dare to take it head-on.
The three of them frantically attacked Chen Lingyang. For a time, even with the assistance of a large number of Talismans, Chen Lingyang coughed up blood continuously in mid-air.
Among them, the heaviest blow almost cut him in half at the waist.
Suddenly, behind Chen Lingyang, the wind-rending talisman was finally activated.
"Lingyang, dodge!" Chen Changjie's voice rang out from behind him.
Chen Lingyang immediately stepped aside to avoid it.
"Run!" shouted one of them, and the other two immediately retreated.
However, since the wind-rending talisman was a Tier 2 Top Grade Talisman, coupled with its wind-attribute attack, how could the three of them easily avoid it?
Streaks of wind blades burst open, slashing toward the three of them.
Chills ran down the backs of the three, and their complexions turned extremely ugly. Even though they had reacted, the wind blades released by the wind-rending talisman were far faster than their escaping speed. I'm afraid even a Late Foundation Establishment Cultivator would not dare claim they could evade it.
Seeing that they could not evade it, the three immediately stopped and jointly unleashed their respective defensive methods.
Since they couldn't hide anyway, if they didn't stop to block this move, they would eventually be caught up to and killed.
Moreover, they weren't alone; with two Middle Foundation Establishment Cultivators and one Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator, were they afraid they couldn't block it?
Chen Changjie and Chen Lingyang watched as streaks of wind blades swept toward the three people, continuously producing explosions upon contact.
The two of them stared tensely while recovering their magical power and injuries. If this strike proved useless, they would be in big trouble.
While they were fighting, battles had broken out in other places as well.
At the Spirit Medicine Garden, four members of the Chen Family looked at the six Qi Refining bandit Cultivators. Both sides struck simultaneously, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
"Lixuan, retreat backward. Leave this place to us," Chen Lingjun instructed in a low voice.
"Understood, Eighth Uncle." Chen Lixuan nodded. As someone with Three Spiritual Roots within the clan, he had always been a key protection target of the Family. As long as no accidents occurred and he worked hard enough, he still had a great chance of achieving Foundation Establishment and adding a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator to the Family.
Furthermore, he was only thirteen years old now, and his cultivation was merely at the Qi Condensation 4th Layer Perfection; he was still far from fully grown.
Holding the qingyang sword, Chen Lingjun shielded Chen Lixuan while battling two Qi Refining bandit Cultivators.
Most of the clan members guarding the Chen Family's Spirit Medicine Garden were not very strong. The strongest was Chen Changyan at the Qi Condensation 8th Layer, while the rest were all at the Qi Condensation 7th Layer and below.
Not only did the opponents outnumber them by two people, but their cultivation and strength were not weak either. There were three people in the Late Qi Refining Stage alone, along with three others at the 5th and 6th Qi Condensation layers.
Chen Changyan fought two opponents alone. What he cultivated was the Green Bamboo Sword Scripture, and the sword in his hand was specially crafted for him by the Family's Artifact Refiner specifically to complement this sword scripture.
The Spells carried by this sword scripture were neither particularly strong nor weak, putting its strength right in the middle tier among the same realm. However, compared to Cultivators of extraordinary backgrounds, it was a different story entirely against these bandit Cultivators; while not invincible among peers, it could definitely crush them.
With a horizontal sweep of his sword, Chen Changyan effortlessly cleaved open the attacks of the two opponents. With another slash, green sword shadows flickered, beheading one of them.
Eliminating a person in just two moves, this strength filled the remaining five opponents with terror and dread.
"As expected of someone who once served as one of the Five Heroes of the Family; this strength is indeed different."
Joy and emotion surfaced on the faces of Chen Lixuan and the others.
"I'll hold this person down. You guys resolve the others as quickly as possible," shouted the Qi Condensation 8th Layer bandit Cultivator.
The remaining four also knew they could not drag this out any longer; otherwise, once the sole strongest Qi Refining Cultivator on their side was killed, it would be their turn next.
Immediately, the other four exhausted all their methods, frantically attacking Chen Lingjun and the others.
Fighting two opponents while also protecting Chen Lixuan, Chen Lingjun faced much greater pressure than anyone else. Even so, he was almost completely uninjured. Judging from observations across several battlefields, the strength of the Chen Family members generally surpassed their opponents.
This situation was playing out everywhere. If that group of bandit Cultivators wanted to defeat the Chen Family members, they either had to surpass them in cultivation or require at least two people to gang up on them; otherwise, it was generally difficult to suppress the Chen Family members, and they might even be counter-killed instead.
As for the main peak of Wuyue Mountain, it was protected by only a single Tier 2 Low Grade Formation. Facing the gloomy man whose cultivation had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, the Formation being broken was only a matter of time.
Now, as long as they could stall until Chen Changqing returned, this batch of bandit Cultivators would all have to pay a price.
The gloomy man attacked continuously. Fighting up to this point, he actually felt a bit of intent to retreat. He hadn't expected that even with such complete intelligence, he still couldn't take down the Chen Family in a short time and had been stalled by the opponent for so long.
In the past when facing other Foundation Establishment Families, even if someone in their party died, they could easily breach the opponent's Formation. Besides that, even if they didn't fully achieve their goal in the end, they still harvested a bit more or less.
However, not only did he suffer a setback here, but the situation in other places wasn't very good either.
Those three pieces of trash were being suppressed by two Early Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the other side. Since they found they couldn't take down the opponent, couldn't they spare two people to help me resolve things here first? They just had to fixate on them!
If those three weren't still useful, he would have taken care of them long ago.
If this dragged on any longer, the variables would be simply too great.
Thinking of this, the gloomy man's eyes grew stern. Originally, he hadn't wanted to use this move, but now it seemed he had no choice. However, being able to witness this old man unleash this move can also be considered your honor.
Looking at the people inside the Formation, the gloomy man raised both hands. Immediately, a massive amount of spiritual energy between heaven and earth converged onto his hands. After ten breaths, a clump of grayish-white substance gathered in his palm.
Following closely, he pushed his palms horizontally forward: "Ghostly Yin Hand!"
Boom!
