“Hand over the Skyfire Medallion, or your Tie family’s people will die,” Qi Zhong said with a dark expression as he stood with his hadns behind his back.

“If you want to fight, then come.” The Tie family’s Second Patriarch raised his large sword, giving off an aura like a mountain, not willing to back down. Now that they had already become sworn enemies, how could he retreat? If the Skyfire Medallion fell into the Qi family’s hands, the Tie family would be in even more danger.

“Attack!” Seeing how resolute the Tie family’s Second Patriarch was, Qi Zhong’s eyes glinted as he waved his hand, yelling, “Kill them all!”

“Yes!” The Qi family’s people all had dark expressions and they released the nocked arrows in their bows.

These bows were made from the tendons of demonic beasts and were incredibly powerful. With Innate realm cultivators wielding them, they would even be able to smash a large hole in boulders. It would be incredibly difficult for normal cultivators to defend against them, and only True Essence realm experts would be able to escape disaster.

Swish! Swish!

The sharp arrows pierced through the air towards the tents, giving off ear-piercing sounds. Seeing the dense rain of arrows descending towards them, a look of terror appeared on the Tie family’s cultivator’s faces. They hurriedly waved their weapons about, doing their best to defend.

Kill!

The Tie family’s Second Patriarch’s eyes gleamed as he swung his large sword with a flourish, his powerful True Essence sweeping out like a river of swords. The arrows in the air were all swept within it, turning into dust. The aura of someone at the True Essence realm was simply shocking.

Milky Way Whirlwind!

The Tie family’s Second Patriarch moved as in a dance with his large sword as he rushed forwards. The sword light also swept out like a long river, sending multiple Qi family’s cultivators into the air. Under the immense impact from the attack, all of them coughed up mouthfuls of blood, unable to take a single blow.

“I’ll kill you!” Qi Zhong and Qi Ming’s gaze became sinister as they attacked the Tie family’s Second Patriarch together. The brothers wielded a trident and a mace, which were covered with poison.

Both weapons were Black grade weapons, and were incredibly tough and sharp. They could cut through stone like it was wood, and were only inferior to spiritual armaments.

Both men were True Essence realm experts – one was at the late stage of the True Essence realm, while the other was at the early stage.

The Tie family’s Second Patriarch was also at the late stage of the True Essence realm, but was bordering on the complete stage.

Despite this, under the attacks from both men, he was immediately unable to deal with anything else.

Bang!

The attacks from True Essence realm experts caused sword light to fill the sky. Their attacks were like brilliant rainbows and suns, and caused fierce winds to blow about. All of the boulders and rocks around them were ground to dust, and the berserk shockwaves that were sent out were simply unblockable. The nearby Innate realm cultivators hurriedly ran away, not daring to stay close. Once they were caught within range, they would be heavily injured.

As such, all of the Tie family’s people and the Qi family’s people backed away.

However, the Qi family’s people continued to step closer towards the campsite, continuously shooting arrows. Immediately, a few people were heavily injured.

“Arghhh!” Pitiful screams sounded out unendingly. After being hit by the arrows, some people’s bodies became limp and powerless. The lethal poison made it difficult for them to move, making them easy targets for more arrows. In just an instant, 2 people had died from the arrows, causing the Tie family’s cultivators to feel terror.

Previously, more than ten of them had died like this, and a True Essence realm expert had also died to buy time for their escape.

“Hurry and form a circle with our backs against each other so that we can defend against the arrows!” one of the Tie family’s elders roared. Immediately, everyone gathered in a circle, wielding their weapons to defend against the arrows. Only then were they able to stabilise the situation.

Even so, people were still injured.

“Arghh!”

Someone was pierced by an arrow, causing black blood to leak from his arm, which had become ashen-grey.

“Arghh!” Yet another person was struck by an arrow, which had stabbed through his throat.

The Tie family’s people were all at least at the Innate realm, and were not by any means weak. However, facing the unending rain of powerful arrows, they were unable to continue defending. All sorts of Martial Skills and techniques were broken through by the arrows – after all, the enemies were also Innate realm cultivators!

Further away, Qi Zhong flicked his wrist as an iron ball appeared in his hand, which he then threw towards the Tie family’s Second Patriarch.

Bang!

A muffled explosion sounded out as a dark, poisonous gas escaped from within the ball.

“It’s a poisonous gas!” The Tie family’s Second Patriarch’s expression darkened as he hurriedly held his breath.

“Haha, this is a lethal poison made from a Black Star Python’s poison sac,” Qi Zhong laughed. “Let’s see how long you last. Once the poison enters your body, even a True Essence realm cultivator won’t be able to force it out. Heheh, your Tie family is doomed this time.”

“How can your Qi family be so proficient with poisons?” the Tie family’s Second Patriarch asked as he surrounded himself with his True Essence to protect himself from the poisonous gas. He stared at the Qi family’s brothers seriously – from how they looked, it seemed like they had the antidote!

“You can ask in hell,” the Qi family’s brothers savagely laughed as they attacked the Tie family’s Second Patriarch from both sides. He not only had to resist the poison, but also had to fight back against two True Essence realm cultivators. Clearly, he was in desperate straits.

After a few moments, the Tie family’s Second Patriarch was once again met with a ferocious attack, and was almost stabbed by the trident.

He hurriedly retreated, his blood boiling as a trace of blood seeped out from his lips.

The Tie family’s people were mercilessly being beaten back, and after unleashing torrents of arrows, the Qi family’s people started to rush up at them.

The howls sounded out continuously, causing the Third Miss to look extremely worried.

“Young sir, has my poison been cured yet? Is it possible to stop for now? I need to save my family.” The Third Miss looked incredibly anxious. From the screams coming from outside, it wasn’t difficult to work out that her family was being attacked. She felt that she couldn’t sit by and do nothing, and wished that she could rush up and be bathed in this bloody battle.

“We’ll be done very soon.” Xiao Yun also had a serious expression on his face as he sped up the extraction process.

Swish!

A few arrows pierced through the tent, flying towards the two people.

“Watch out!” An arrow was just about to strike Xiao Yun’s head from behind, causing the Third Miss to cry out.

However, Xiao Yun was incredibly calm. He waved his left hand behind him as a gust of Essence Qi burst forth, bringing with it some violet flames. The arrow was instantly incinerated into nothing. After this, Xiao Yun waved his hand, extinguishing the violet flames and making it seem as if nothing had happened.

“What did he just do?” Seeing this, the Third Miss stared, feeling dumbfounded. Her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and her expression was extremely strange as she looked at the youth. What he had done was simply too powerful – a violet light flashed, and had completely destroyed that frightening arrow.

“Is he really an Innate realm cultivator?” the Third Miss wondered to herself. “Was that scorching heat just then from some flames?” Suddenly, she felt that this youth was incredibly mysterious and profound.

Every time arrows arrived, the youth would act as if he had been expecting them, and dealt with them effortlessly.

Swish! Swish!

Another few arrows streaked into the tent.

Xiao Yun’s gaze darkened, revealing an expression of annoyance.

He suddenly got up and pushed out with both palms.

Bang!

A violet light flashed as the arrows were once again obliterated.

“Am I fine now?” the Third Miss stared, then immediately asked.

“Mm,” Xiao Yun replied, “The poison has been completely neutralised.”

As Xiao Yun spoke, he released his spirit energy. After finding out about the situation outside, he gave a slight frown.

By now, the Third Miss had put on her clothes and shoes, and was about to walk out of the tent.

“What are you doing?” Xiao Yun asked as he grabbed the young woman.

“I’m going to save my family.” The Third Miss’ body was tall and slender, and she looked incredibly elegant. She blinked with her beautiful eyes and had a hint of desperation in her voice as she spoke to the youth, then tried to walk out again.

“You want to save them?” Xiao Yun did not let go of her hand. “If you go out right now, it’ll be the same as committing suicide.”

“Even if I die, I can’t just watch my family die before me,” the Third Miss said resolutely. Her eyes were misty with teardrops gathering. The screams of her family outside made her feel as if her heart was dripping with blood.

“Stay here for now. I’ll take care of them in your place.” Seeing how much the young woman cared about her family, Xiao Yun’s heart was touched. Since he had stayed with the Tie family, he wouldn’t leave them behind so easily either.

“You?” The Third Miss stared in surprise. She never thought that this stranger would be willing to help.

“Mm,” Xiao Yun nodded, “Just stay here for now.”

“But the Qi family has such an overwhelming advantage. What will you be able to do?” A look of worry appeared on the Third Miss’ face. As someone who was part of the Tie family, she wanted to go out to die with her family. However, there was no such need for Xiao Yun to do such a thing.

In this sort of situation, it was already quite rare for the youth to not act against her with any ulterior motives.

As such, she couldn’t help but worry about him, and tried to stop him from involving himself in this matter.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be able to deal with those people.” Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows as he gave a faint smile. He looked quite calm, but there was an air of confidence within his eyes, which made the Third Miss feel more at ease.

“Are you sure?” she asked.

“Mm.” Xiao Yun did not say anymore as he opened the entrance of the tent and strode out.

Swish!

At this moment, two arrows flew towards him with great force. However, Xiao Yun did not even bother to look at them. His hands moved, leaving behind afterimages as they sent the arrows spiralling away.

With Xiao Yun’s powerful spirit energy, he could fully predict the trajectory of these arrows. The arrows, which seemed incredibly fast and undodgeable to others, were as slow as snails to Xiao Yun, which allowed him to easily knock them away.

After deflecting a few arrows, Xiao Yun continued to walk and arrived at the scene of the battle. The Tie family’s people were in an extremely pitiful state, and were being completely suppressed by the Qi family’s people who were split into two groups. One group fought at close quarters with the Tie family’s people while the other group continued to shoot arrows from afar. Their coordination together made them seem invincible.

“Arghh!” A youth cried out as he was pierced by an arrow.

Tie Feng!

Xiao Yun looked over and found that it was Tie Feng. Following this, he did not dally. His body flashed as he leapt around the arrows, quickly arriving to where the Tie family’s cultivators were.

“Xiao Yun, why are you here?” Seeing Xiao Yun, everyone felt quite surprised. “Where’s the Third Miss?”

Everyone was more concerned about the Third Miss’ safety.

“The Third Miss is fine.” Xiao Yun looked at the injured Tie Feng as he said, “Look after him.”

Following this, he stepped out with a serious look within his eyes, preparing to fight.

“He’s going to fight?” Tie Feng and some of the other injured youths stared in surprise.

 In the next moment, everyone’s eyes lit up as they gasped, “He’s actually so strong?”

They watched as the youth entered the battlefield. He came close to one of the Qi family’s people, who had been savagely attacking, but in the blink of the eye his expression became dull and his movements became sluggish. Xiao Yun smashed his palm out, ending his life with a single attack. This strange scene made everyone stare in shock.

“Where did this boy come from?” Two people from the Qi family became incredibly furious and rushed towards Xiao Yun.

Kill!

Xiao Yun did not say anything unnecessary and directly attacked – since he was standing with the Tie family, how could the Qi family let him off?

Today, the situation was that if the Qi family didn’t perish, the Tie family would die. That was the only conclusion to the battle.

As the Qi family’s people rushed towards him, Xiao Yun gathered a boundless wave of spirit energy, sending it flooding out of his mind.
