Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Li Family’s Bitter Fruits
The group from the Ye Family and the Xu Family quickly headed towards the forest.
Having been swept by cultivators, including loose cultivators, the forest was almost devoid of any spirit medicines, leaving behind only traces of battle and the lingering scent of blood.
They moved exceptionally fast!
In the distance came the rumble of magical combat, shining spiritual light, even towering giant brown trees couldn’t conceal it, causing the group to quicken their pace.
"It’s Qianhe Ascendant!" Xu Wenchang spoke.
As soon as he said this, he looked at Ye Xingliu, then at the Ye Family group, especially the elders of the Ye Family.
Finally, he looked at the two Tier Two Spirit Beasts.
He seemed to want to discern something, but other than seeing the injured state of the Tier Two Spirit Beasts, everyone else’s expressions were too normal, so he frowned and looked at Ye Xingliu.
"It must be an exotic treasure emerging, Qianhe Ascendant is also there!" Ye Xingliu spoke confidently.
Xu Wenchang didn’t respond; he didn’t believe Ye Xingliu’s tale.
Instead, he increased his speed and went ahead.
When the group arrived, they saw a tragic scene before them.
Countless trees were sliced off at the roots, the hissing sounds of various spirit snakes, both on the trees and under, within the shrubs!
Fireball Skill and other spirit talismans flew about, along with countless magical artifacts.
This scene was truly grand and intense.
In the air, two massive flying snakes, each several feet wide, continually attacked a small seal, terrifying white jade spiritual light as dazzling as the scorching sun.
At this moment, Qianhe Ascendant had also taken out an ancient lamp, the lamp burning flames forming a flame spiritual shield.
Struggling immensely to resist the two snakes’ violent bombardment.
Meanwhile, the Li Family members gathered together in even more tragic circumstances, with the newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator Li Muran already dead on the spot.
The corpse was split in two, seemingly cut horizontally by a Purple Mansion Great Demon, leaving no whole body.
Mind you, even the Li Family currently only has four or five Foundation Establishment cultivators in the open.
Patriarch Li Muhe and a wounded late-stage Tier Two Jade Qilin Snake along with an early-stage Tier Two Black Water Python were still confronting!
And they also needed to occasionally take care of other Li Family cultivators.
The remaining Li Family cultivators were struggling within an array to fend off the snake tide, each one with pale faces, using magic spells not as fluidly as before, clearly showing signs of prolonged battle.
On the ground lay the corpses of many cultivators scattered about, most were loose cultivators, but a small portion were Li Family cultivators!
This time, whatever they acquired, they were destined to be losers.
"Brother Xu, please act quickly, afterward Li will surely offer great thanks!" Li Muhe’s face was extremely ferocious!
Completely different from the initial confident demeanor.
Beneath his sinister expression, his spiritual energy was nearly depleted; he was only a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he withstand the combined force of a late-stage and early-stage Tier Two spirit snake.
He had already consumed many spirit medicines, and several magical artifacts were no longer as abundant as before.
Xu Wenchang also quickly took action!
Alongside Xu Family members, although the Xu Family was far, Xu Wenchang arrived first with several of Xu Family’s late-stage Qi Cultivation members.
The Ye Family cultivators also came in numbers, but although they arrived, they showed no intention of helping!
Ye Xingliu didn’t speak, so naturally, others wouldn’t take the initiative to act; the relations between the Li Family and Ye Family were famously tense.
This time, there were many appearing spirit snakes and pythons, Tier Two Demon Beasts were blocked by Xu Wenchang, but Li Family members had difficulty fending off numerous Tier One Spirit Snakes and Spiritual Pythons, even with the array.
Keep in mind, the current spirit snakes and pythons exceeded even those summoned by the Ye Family, these were the entire Jade Dragon Valley’s spirit snakes and pythons.
Furthermore, new spirit snakes and pythons kept emerging from the forest, joining the snake tide.
Constantly at the array’s edge, unable to hold, Li Family cultivators being poisoned by the snakes and collapsing was a continual sight.
Each time, Li Muhe felt heartache and fury that was increasingly more inexorable.
He glared at Ye Xingliu with eyes spewing fire.
He knew it was the Ye Family’s doing, but he had no evidence, and at this moment, it wasn’t time to find the culprit, it was time to save his family!
If not for his suspicions, he might have sought help from Ye Xingliu!
He gritted his teeth tightly, his gaze fiercely keen.
Meanwhile, even Qianhe Ascendant was in grave danger!
Simultaneously deploying three magical treasures, a magical treasure flying sword for attack, a magical treasure small seal for suppression, and a magical treasure ancient lamp for defense.
"Ye Family’s young friend, quickly act!" Seeing the Ye Family cultivators still not acting from afar, Qianhe Ascendant also shouted angrily!
"I will obey the senior’s decree, though later please help uphold justice!" Ye Xingliu still spoke calmly, his eyes barely restraining his anger!
He then unleashed the Lizard Lord and the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger!
As they acted, the injuries of the Hanging Eye Tiger and the Lizard Lord were fully displayed in front of everyone.
The alarming knife marks showed the Ye Family had also suffered from the spirit snake ravage!
Thinking then of the late-stage Tier Two Jade Qilin Snake, also wounded severely.
This scene made Li Muhe suddenly feel something amiss!
With the addition of Ye Family cultivators and many spirit beasts, the situation finally improved.
Ye Jingcheng unleashed the Golden Scale Beast as well, personally wielding the Iron Wood Token in coordination.
Targeting specially injured mid-stage Tier One spirit snakes.
Unlike the Ye Family dealing with river snakes and pythons by themselves, each was more ferocious than the next, now acting, each was but pretending to attack.
Picking off old, weak, sick spirit snakes and spiritual pythons.
Li Family felt grievance but could do nothing about it!
What they needed to think about now was preserving more Li Family strength, otherwise the conflict of three families against the Ye Family might shift to a confrontation of three families against the Li Family!
Such occurrences in the Cultivation Realm were too common.
Impossible for Li Muhe not to proceed with caution.
With the Ye Family cultivators acting not long, from afar, the Mo Family, and Chu Family, Chen Family cultivators also arrived, along with the remaining Taiyi Sect cultivators.
The situation on the battlefield became smoother, nearly one-sided!
Those spirit snakes and spiritual pythons could only be reduced to assets in the hands of cultivators.
One must know, at Taihang Market’s Mo Family Tavern, besides the popular spirit fish cuisine there was spirit snake cuisine.
Finally, with a blazing green light, Luoyuan Ascendant descended from afar!
A sword light viciously slashed at a Jade Qilin Snake Great Demon’s seven-inch spot!
The resounding echo!
White jade spiritual aura cut open like white jade, split into halves, penetrating half a foot deep!
The terrifying sword aura was dazzling to the extreme.
The wounded Jade Qilin Snake Great Demon howled in agony!
Its body rolled continuously, the massive Jade Qilin Tail Saber instantly slashed Qianhe Ascendant’s magical treasure Golden Light Seal flying!
Yet, a flame from Qianhe Ascendant’s ancient lamp floated out and landed on the Jade Qilin, aggravating the pain further, ultimately being slayed by Luoyuan Ascendant’s fierce strike!
Luoyuan Ascendant’s sneak attack yielded remarkable results!
Now transformed into two Purple Mansion Ascendants against one Purple Mansion Demon Beast!
The situation in Jade Dragon Valley was suddenly clear!
