Chapter 86 -85: Repeated Counterattacks (Congratulations to the 67832 Alliance Leader!)_1

The cultivator woman surnamed Ruan was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining when she fell victim to Ruan Xingling’s scheme. A bloody hole burst open in her chest and she died on the spot.

Lu Jingqing abruptly raised his head, his expression cold as ice, “Bitch, I want you dead!”

“Damn it!”

Prime Taoist Xiumu’s face was filled with solemnity, “The Lu family has actually brought in a late-stage Qi Refining expert, this battle won’t be easy…”

Fang Xi’s lips were pressed tightly together, his face a picture of resolve as he gripped the Green Barley Sword in his hand.

He looked every bit the fearless warrior ready to meet his end!

Yet in his heart, another thought arose:

‘Ruan Xingling indeed isn’t one of those clan geniuses who have cultivated to the point of stupidity and are ignorant of the cunning in people’s hearts. On the contrary, she’s both brave and strategic. Since she knew early on that this traitor was unreliable, she must have other backup plans… This could work!’

As expected!

The next moment, a white Escape Light flew over swiftly, revealing an old cultivator with white hair and beard, dressed in a crane-feather robe, who astonishingly had reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining!

“West wind blows over the waves of Thousand Island Lake, overnight, the Lord of Xiang grows more white hairs, hehe, greetings to you all!”

The Crane Feather Prime Taoist greeted everyone with kind eyes and an elegant demeanor, giving a bow in midair.

A look of unending dread appeared on Lu Jingqing’s face:

“Feng Baimeng of White Feather Island? Is your White Feather Island going to meddle in the affairs of Peach Blossom Island?”

Feng Baimeng shook his head, “Firstly, Peach Blossom Island is not yours. Secondly, Xingling is my great-granddaughter, certainly not an outsider.”

“You old fart, you’re seeking death. From today onward, Peach Blossom Island and White Feather Island will be at each other’s throats!”

With an angry howl, Lu Jingqing’s body started sprouting strands of ape hair.

His magic power also surged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a huge red-haired, red-eyed monkey!

For some reason, this scene seemed all too familiar to Fang Xi: ‘Could it be the Beast Transformation Secret Skills from the “Ten Thousand Beast Body”?’

“Indeed, you’ve also practiced Body Refining techniques!”

Ruan Xingling patted the flower basket beneath her, from which a scent of sandalwood wafted.

“Yin brother, leave that bitch to you. I’ll deal with Feng Baimeng! With my newly mastered Red Ape Transformation combined with my original cultivation, even matching up against Great Perfection Qi Refining is no issue,” Lu Jingqing snarled, then looked at his three mid-Qi Refining underlings, “As for the small fry, you guys take care of them!”

Having spoken, the transformed fierce Red Ape was about to pounce forward but suddenly let out a scream of agony, “What’s happening? My magic power?”

“The vial of Red Ape Essence Blood, it was indeed you who bought it,” Ruan Xingling said with a smile, stroking the flower basket.

“Bitch, you poisoned me? You knew I’d been suffering to master the third level of Body Refining Technique and had been seeking this item? Did you bribe the Zhong family?” Lu Jingqing screamed as he seemed to realize what happened.

“You’re such an idiot… If the Zhong family had been willing to sacrifice their reputation to conspire with me against you, why would I need to lift a finger? The Zhong family could crush you like an ant, no schemes needed… The Red Ape Essence Blood is indeed genuine, but what you didn’t know is that despite its incredible ferocity, the Demon Red Ape has a natural small defect: if it smells the ‘Heavenly Purple Sandalwood Incense’ from my flower basket, it becomes weak and powerless…”

Ruan Xingling chuckled, “Since you’ve absorbed the essence blood and smelled the ‘Heavenly Purple Sandalwood Incense,’ naturally, your magic power will dissipate and you’ll sleep for days… Actually, this process is beneficial for assimilating the Red Ape Essence Blood, it’s just a pity you won’t live to see it!”

“Good… with you overseeing Peach Blossom Island, I can rest without worries,” Feng Baimeng said with a laugh, extremely satisfied with Ruan Xingling’s arrangement.

Even Yin Dao-you quickly released a stream of black light from his small banner, enveloping himself as he considered whether to flee immediately or not.

Xiumu and the others, seeing the tide turning, wore expression full of elation.

Only Fang Xi cursed inwardly, ‘The vial of Red Ape Essence Blood at the auction wasn’t for me after all; it was Ruan Xingling’s bait for Lu Jingqing!’

‘Damn these cultivator noble families, burying so many traps in their techniques… specifically to ensnare individual cultivators!’

Even though it was the enemy who had suffered, Fang Xi felt the same as Lu Jingqing: without any inheritance, he was just a low-level cultivator, clueless about many secrets of the Cultivation World!

Against these cultivator families who monopolize secret information and shamelessly maintain their stranglehold, it was too easy to suffer unexpectedly!

The worst part was, after being taken advantage of, those noble brats would still look down upon you triumphantly, sneering “You country bumpkin, you think you can ascend to Heaven? Pah!”

“Cough cough… Ruan Xingling!!!”

Lu Jingqing pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his thigh, using that moment of clarity to snarl, “Good… you managed to grow through this murder of my entire family. Crafty and deep-plotted, just like your deadbeat dad. Luckily, I had one last move against you!”

Crack!

Fireworks suddenly exploded mid-air, forming a grotesque ghost face pattern.

Then, two streaks of Escape Light arrived, revealing two brothers who looked exactly alike.

Upon seeing them, even Fang Xi felt they looked familiar, and after thinking carefully, he recognized them.

Prime Taoist Xiumu was even quicker, shouting the names of the two brothers, “The Kou Dual Fierce? Lu Jingqing… you actually colluded with cultivation-robbers? Once this gets out, you’ll have no place in the Thirty Six Islands, no, within the entire Thousand Island Lake!”

“Big brother, they’re so annoying! Let’s just kill them all!”

The second son of the Kou family yawned boredly.

“Yeah… don’t worry, Old Lu. Kill them all, and nobody will know,” the eldest son of the Kou family laughed heartily, his words brimming with murderous intent!

“These two are indeed tough nuts to crack.”

Feng Baimeng poised his hands in magical gestures and threw out a Spirit Beast Bag. Blue butterflies fluttering out, dancing and scattering blue phosphorescent powder, made everything around seem dreamlike and illusory.

“Dream Butterfly Worm? This old man is a bug cultivator!”

The eldest son of the Kou family furrowed his brow and said to Lu Jingqing, “Old Lu, leave that undying old fart of the Bai family to Daoist Yin, and the rest of the young ladies to us brothers!”

The second son of the Kou family looked at Ruan Xingling with a bit of regret, shaking his head, “This girl’s magical artifact is quite beautiful, but she herself is not…”

Previously, when the three brothers joined forces, they were capable of battling a cultivator with Qi Refining Great Perfection.

But ever since their youngest brother died mysteriously in the battle at Green Bamboo Mountain Market, they were one man down and couldn’t form their Battle Array, making life rather difficult—after all, they had too many enemies.

So, the two brothers decided to travel thousands of miles away to Thousand Island Lake to mingle, and then they started hanging out with the Lu family.

As for the problems associated with being tainted by cultivation-robbers? Lu Jingqing didn’t care.

After all, many cultivator families had unclear and dirty forces that did their dirty work behind the scenes.

If it wasn’t for the Kou brothers’ reputations being so exceedingly foul, he would have dared to directly hire them as guests.

Now, helping out with the magical duel was picking the softest persimmons to squeeze.

Lu Jingqing’s eyebrows knitted as he immediately said to Daoist Yin, “Sir, please help block the undying old man of the Feng family, I’ll double the reward we agreed upon afterwards!”

Having said that, he slapped a ‘Vajra Talisman’ onto his body, cloaking himself in a golden protective barrier with flowing runes, and sat cross-legged on the surface of the lake, continuously swallowing medicinal pills, seemingly cultivating to drive out poison.

“Damn it, I definitely need a raise!”

Daoist Yin roared in anger, his hands forming seals, as he injected magic power into the small banner.

Cackling!

With eerie laughter, one after another semi-transparent ghost creatures emerged, turning into clouds of dark mist, tangling with Feng Baimeng’s Dream Butterfly Worms.

“Haha, with us two brothers joining forces, we can’t even take down a seventh layer Qi Refining practitioner? Big brother, kill… just remember to leave this girl for me!”

The second son of the Kou family glanced at Hua Chanjuan, Wei Yixin’s Taoist companion, his face breaking into a pleased expression.

The expressions of Wei Yixin and his wife suddenly turned exceedingly ugly.

At this moment, the situation on the field was clearly unfavorable for their side!

“Attack!”

Seeing the late-stage Qi Refining experts tangled in battle, even Ruan Xingling joined the fray, maneuvering a Flying Sword to fight against the Kou brothers; the three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Lu family also roared and drew out their magical artifacts, charging towards Fang Xi’s group.

“All in!”

Wei Yixin and his wife released two medium-grade flying dagger artifacts, entangling one of the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, fighting and retreating, all while trying to avoid the central battleground.

Simultaneously!

Prime Taoist Xiumu waved his whisk, and thousands of silver threads blossomed like a myriad of flowers, entwining around another Lu family cultivator’s artifact and flying off in another direction.

‘Everybody is so clever… Everyone wants to stay away from the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, then watch the outcome of the battlefield… The losing side still has a chance to escape.’

Fang Xi’s lips twitched as he looked at the Lu family cultivator coming toward him, his face looking like he had just won a great prize.

The opponent was a gray-robed cultivator in his fifties or sixties, who at this moment had a face expressing loyalty and righteous indignation: “Scoundrel, I will fight you with all I’ve got!”

He released a yellow-skinned gourd artifact, from which groups of black water orbs burst out, smashing towards Fang Xi.

Fang Xi summoned the ‘Green Turtle Shield,’ and a green turtle shell suddenly enlarged to act as a shield in front of him.

Pop pop!

The clusters of black water exploded on the turtle shell, apparently not as powerful as imagined.

‘Okay, this one’s going easy too!’

‘No, he’s driving me away from the battlefield so he can watch the action!’

‘That expression is quite believable, kudos to you!’

Fang Xi secretly praised, unleashed the ‘Green Barley Sword’ to distract, and drove the Black Cloud Cap toward the distance to escape.

“Scoundrel, don’t you run!”

The elderly cultivator’s eyes lit up as expected; he carelessly pulled out a Peach Wood Shield to block the Green Barley Sword and chased after Fang Xi!

The two of them were in hot pursuit, and in the blink of an eye, they were tens of miles away, no longer able to see the aura of the central battlefield.

“Heh heh… You young lad are quite amusing, releasing such a pathetic Flying Sword. You still have a lot to learn about acting from this old man!”

The Escape Light driven by the old cultivator instantly increased in speed several times, cutting Fang Xi off and flaunting his ‘mighty’ Qi Refining fifth layer Magic Power with utter disregard, “However, as a cultivator of the Lu family, I must still fulfill my duty and slay you…”

His intention was to slay Fang Xi on behalf of the Lu family, thereby living up to his own treatment.

Then, it was a matter of watching which way the wind blew; if the main house won a big victory, naturally, he would pursue the victory further, and if the main house lost… He would not sacrifice his life for the main house either.

After all, it hadn’t been long since Lu Jingqing usurped power, and he didn’t have the time to cultivate his own batch of die-hard loyalists.

For an outsider, getting this far was already not bad.

“So much nonsense!”

In the next moment, the old cultivator saw the Qi Refining fourth layer cultivator pull out a black giant sword from his Storage Bag, as big as a door, and advanced instead of retreating!

Bang!

Fang Xi held the ‘Dark Iron Sword’ in his hands and smashed it fiercely against the Peach Wood Shield!

Bang!

The wooden shield blasted into pieces, and the Dark Iron Sword’s momentum was not diminished, slashing straight across the old man’s waist and abdomen.

The terrifying destructive power instantly blew open the elder’s chest cavity, exposing half of his spine and fragments of his internal organs…
