Chapter 1705: Chapter 539: Jinyang’s Dilemma, Cai Qiuning’s Horror (Part 3)

Upon seeing the newcomer, the expressions of the brothers Cai Qiuhu and Cai Qiuhong changed drastically, and they hurriedly rushed forward to support him.

The person who arrived was none other than Cai Qiuning, their second brother, who had just volunteered to kill Qin He, Qin Shan, and Shangguan Long when the camp exploded.

Cai Qiuning’s clothes were in tatters, with two terrifying knife scars on his chest, and most horrifying, a large piece of flesh on his forehead had been sliced away, revealing white bone and even a visible crack.

For those in the Tribulation Body Realm, such injuries are indeed terrifying.

"Second Brother, how could you end up like this? Could it be that you were ambushed by those Beast Emperor Puppets of Great Xia?"

Cai Qiuning did not answer Cai Qiuhu’s question. Instead, he first closed his eyes to readjust his breath. Once he had calmed down, he opened his eyes, filled with fear and shock.

"The area was swarming with Great Xia scouts. The soldiers who exploded the camp were immediately met by the Xia Army upon escape. I followed Zhu Qing’s Blood Attraction Insect all the way to Qin He and Qin Shan, ready to strike them down, when unexpectedly, Xia Hong suddenly appeared!"

Hearing this, Cai Qiuning paused, then continued, "He didn’t bring any puppets, he came alone. I initially thought he was overconfident, not bringing his puppets, and I wanted to try to kill him directly. But the result was..."

Gulp!

Cai Qiuning swallowed, a hint of horror rising in his pupils, his voice trembling, "Xia Hong, though supposedly only at the Xianyang Level and not even having broken through to the Late Stage, his strength was as high as 260 jins. How is that possible, how is that possible..."

He kept muttering ’how is that possible,’ looking completely lost and clearly deeply shaken.

Naturally, it wasn’t just him, Cai Qiuhong and the other three in the Tribulation Body Realm, upon hearing his description, had their expressions turn utterly blank.

Even Cai Qiuhu, who had previously witnessed Xia Hong’s moves firsthand and had briefly clashed with him, had his face freeze.

He remembered clearly that last night beneath Aikou City, Xia Hong had killed Cai Shiqi in front of their father Cai Qianshan. In a fury, he had struck directly, only to be blocked by Xia Hong.

At that time, he had unleashed his full strength, reaching as much as 245 jins, though it was neutralized by Xia Hong. But he could feel then, Xia Hong’s strength was no more than a little over 200 jins.

He had never seen Xia Hong fully exert himself, so he had always thought Xia Hong had peak cultivation at the Xianyang Level. Considering his strength at that level, even at peak cultivation, it was incredibly defiant.

And now, his second brother Cai Qiuning claimed that Xia Hong hadn’t even broken through to the late stage of the Xianyang Level.

Mid-stage Xianyang Level, strength above 260 jins.

This... how is that possible... how is that possible?

For a moment, Cai Qiuhu was a bit disoriented as well, repeatedly echoing this phrase in his mind, even wondering if his second brother Cai Qiuning, after losing to Xia Hong, had gone mad and misjudged.

"Besiege the city!"

"Besiege the city!"

While Cai Qiuhu and others in the sky were in chaos, below, Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang, the two lords, were also, under the coercion of Cai Zhu, the two in Tribulation Body Realm, commanding the joint army of fifty thousand from the two towns to besiege the city.

"Charge..."

"Brothers, take Jinyang, and the Xia Army won’t dare harm our families."

"Break through Jinyang and wait for the army to march south, the town’s crisis will naturally resolve."

......

After all, the two town lords had some skill in brainwashing.

The two actually managed to motivate the spirits of the fifty-thousand-strong joint army, who simultaneously charged towards the south gate of Jinyang City, their energy roaring to the skies, with the ground covered in war armor reflecting blinding cold light under the daytime’s chill.

Though they were remnants, their momentum at that moment was indeed bewildering.
