Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

65: Fight against innate martial artists, spirit crystals!The members of the Viper Gang turned pale upon seeing the ferocious Mantou. Those Local Chieftains from Ailao Mountain also retreated one after another, attempting to slip away quietly.

”A mere Blood Refining Martial Artist dares to snatch the Viper Gang’s goods? Do you not know who stands behind the Viper Gang?”

Just then, an aged voice rang out. Mantou looked toward the crowd and saw a white-haired, hunched old man part the crowd and step forward.

*Swoosh!*

The white-haired old man reached out and pulled toward the longsword on the ground. The sword instantly flew up, as if pulled by invisible threads, and shot straight into the old man’s hand.

”External release of Qi and blood... a Xiantian Martial Artist?”

Seeing the old man’s opening move, a look of solemnity appeared in Mantou’s eyes. He hadn’t expected that while the Zhao Family only had two Xiantian Martial Artists, one would actually be here overseeing things!

”You have some modicum of discernment. Surrender obediently and await your sentence. I might spare your life for now!”

The Zhao Family’s Xiantian expert spoke in a cold tone. With his appearance, the situation on the field reversed instantly. For a moment, his will became the center of the battlefield.

”Uncle, I’m here to help you!”

Just as the Zhao Family’s Xiantian thought he had control of the situation, Chuanwen’s voice came from not far away. Shortly after, Howling Heaven and Chuanwen quickly arrived behind Mantou.

”A Essence Spirit? Who is behind you? To think you can afford to raise a Essence Spirit?”

The Xiantian powerhouse’s expression visibly froze upon seeing Howling Heaven, and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes. Although he was a Xiantian Martial Artist, he was old and frail, and not necessarily a match for a Essence Spirit.

”Uncle, what should we do? Are we still fighting?”

Chuanwen leaned close to Mantou and asked softly. Mantou glanced back at Chuanwen, giving him a look that clearly meant he would follow Chuanwen’s lead.

Chuanwen instantly felt a surge of pressure. The ones fighting here were the Chen Family’s highest combat power; if they fell here, the Chen Family would be doomed eternally!

But if they could kill this isolated Zhao Family Xiantian here, the Zhao Family would lose an important arm!

The key to the problem was whether Howling Heaven could defeat the Zhao Family’s Xiantian!

Chuanwen recalled Chen Changsheng’s words: Howling Heaven was sufficient to fight Xiantian powerhouses. Although the opponent was also a Xiantian, his Qi and blood were clearly declining!

It was worth the gamble!

Chen Chuanwen gritted his teeth, betting that Howling Heaven was strong enough. After all, it had already weathered countless storms for the Chen Family!

”Howling Heaven, kill him!”

Chen Chuanwen said coldly. Hearing Chen Chuanwen’s command, Howling Heaven immediately turned into a streak of silver lightning and charged at the Zhao Family’s Xiantian!

Xiantian Martial Artists could release their Qi and blood externally. The attacks they caused, besides the damage from the weapon itself, also carried damage from the power of Qi and blood!

Seeing that the opponent was determined to fight, the Zhao Family’s Xiantian instantly wrapped his long blade in Qi and blood. A yellow halo appeared on the blade’s edge as he slashed at Howling Heaven!

Howling Heaven parried with its sharp claws, and sparks flew between the blade and the claws!

Both the man and the hound were extremely fast, and they instantly became locked in combat.

”Uncle Mantou, let’s go too. Howling Heaven is exposed; it’s best if we kill them all!”

Chuanwen’s words carried a chilling killing intent. Upon hearing this, Mantou’s figure flashed as he charged toward the Viper Gang. The next moment, he was already in the crowd, ending a gang member’s life with a single strike!

Chen Chuanwen did not shy away from the battle either. Seeing Mantou slaughtering the Viper Gang members, he turned his gaze toward the Ailao Mountain Local Chieftains who were trying to slip away.

There were no powerful experts among this group of local chieftains; the strongest was only at the Bone Tempering Realm, equal to Chuanwen’s strength.

Chen Chuanwen unsheathed his long blade and charged into the Local Chieftains. He possessed the ultimate technique of the One-Blade Immortal—the Drawing-Blade Slash. When unleashed, it instantly crushed these Local Chieftains.

After all, they lived in the deep mountains for a long time, and their martial arts skills could not compare to the Martial Artists outside!

The entire valley was instantly divided into three battlefields. The battlefield with the most people was undoubtedly Mantou and the Viper Gang members, and the one that ended the fastest was also Mantou’s!

A quarter of an hour later, the blood-stained Mantou went to support Chuanwen, who was in a bloody battle.

Mantou’s killing techniques were truly too skilled; he had refined killing into an art. Every blade strike went straight for the opponent’s vitals, like a black breeze sweeping across the battlefield!

With Mantou’s involvement, Chuanwen, who had been at a disadvantage, immediately felt the pressure vanish. The two cooperated and quickly eliminated all the Local Chieftains.

On the battlefield, only the Zhao Family’s Xiantian and Howling Heaven remained locked in a fierce struggle!

By now, the Zhao Family’s Xiantian was panting heavily. Compared to Howling Heaven’s energetic body, he was old, and his Qi and blood were insufficient, making him ill-suited for a prolonged battle!

Howling Heaven was also injured. Its talent, Copper Skin and Iron Bones, could block blades and swords, but it could not block the external release of a Xiantian Martial Artist’s Qi and blood!

There were already two shallow blade marks on its back!

”Howling Heaven, don’t let this person escape. You must kill him!”

Chuanwen saw that the Zhao Family’s Xiantian was running out of Qi and blood and had the intention to retreat, while Howling Heaven had only suffered some superficial wounds and was still high-spirited.

So, he issued the command to Howling Heaven from the side. Having received the order, Howling Heaven’s fighting style became even more ferocious, only defending its vitals while tanking general attacks with its body!

Facing Howling Heaven’s frenzied attacks, the Zhao Family’s Xiantian finally couldn’t hold on after inflicting a few more flesh wounds on Howling Heaven; his arm was slashed open by Howling Heaven’s sharp claws.

With one arm injured, the Zhao Family’s Xiantian was powerless to resist Howling Heaven. He desperately tried to find a chance to escape, but Howling Heaven, having received its orders, didn’t give him the slightest opportunity.

”Aaah! I hate this! Zhiyi will avenge me!”

Finally, due to excessive consumption of Qi and blood plus the arm injury, Howling Heaven found an opening and tore through the Zhao Family Xiantian’s throat with a claw.

”It’s finally over!”

Looking at the Zhao Family Xiantian’s corpse, Chuanwen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He walked to the side of the Zhao Family Xiantian and began searching the body.

Regrettably, there were no Secret Manuals on this person, which made Chuanwen somewhat unhappy, like defeating a boss but not gaining any loot.

Mantou also searched the corpses on the battlefield. Most of what he found were some silver coins and miscellaneous items, until he found a small bag on a Local Chieftain.

”What is this?”

Chuanwen asked with some confusion as he looked at the small bag Mantou brought over. Inside the bag were pieces of crystal-clear crushed stones.

”It seems to be Spirit Crystals, the currency used by Immortals!”

Mantou had traveled far and wide over the years and had broad experience. He seemed to have seen this bag of crushed stones in the hands of an Immortal before, but he couldn’t be certain.

”Anything related to Immortals is incredibly precious. We should keep it safe and take it back to Father!”

Hearing Mantou’s words, Chen Chuanwen immediately realized the value of these Spirit Crystals and quickly tucked them away securely against his person.

Next, they used horse carriages to take away the Viper Gang’s supplies and crates of gold and silver. They found a hidden cave in the mountains and stashed these things inside.

Chuanwen knew that these spoils of war could not be used yet. The Zhao Family had lost a Xiantian powerhouse and also lost Spirit Crystals suspected to be used by Immortals; they would surely be enraged and stir up a massive storm in Longkou County.

Therefore, by hiding these things, the Zhao Family would not be able to find their identities. Their fury and counterattack could only be vented into thin air!
