Venerated Venomous Consort

The wild animals knew that they could not reach the 20 men, so they decided to change targets. Instantly, they lunged towards the helpless villagers that waited for their entry at the gate. The villagers were scattered. While waiting, some decided to stand; others took their seats. Upon seeing the beasts approaching, they panicked.

The beasts were smart enough to tell which ones were the weaker ones. Therefore, most of the beasts chose to attack women and children. Tie Dan, Tie Niu, and their men were eager to save their family from the attack, so they fought the beasts to the best of their abilities to keep them away. Nonetheless, they were obviously outnumbered by the abundance of ferocious beasts surrounding them. Even with the help of Zhao Fengxing and his men, they were not able to keep everyone safe.

The villagers were in a frenzied state to stay alive. The children were crying; the adults were screaming for help. It was complete chaos. Some were too nervous to care about which way to run. They ran towards the suspension bridge that was still slowly moving down.

“You are not allowed on the bridge!” A voice came from the top of the walls. Instantly, the guard commanded the release of an arrow, and it almost hit the foot of the first man. “I will kill anyone who steps foot on the bridge!”

The command of the guard was very alarming. Apparently, they were not willing to give in. After the entry of the 20 men with the spiritual crystal, the guard raised the bridge back up. Upon seeing their hope slowly disappear, the villagers grew even more anxious.

“The array formation! Get back into formation!” Zhao Fengxing was the only one with a clear mind at the time. The villagers recalled the array formation that they used during their escape from the valley and quickly scrambled back into formation. Unfortunately, since they were being attacked, it was difficult for them to do so.

Zhao Fengxing and his men managed to slaughter a few beasts, but they were incapable of killing all of them. Helplessly, Zhao Fengxing watched as a lion pushed a child onto the ground and was about to dig its teeth into the child’s throat.

The adults around the child were busy fighting off the beasts, so none of them was able to rescue the child in time. Before the lion took its first bite, a shadow quickly flashed by and gave the lion a hard kick! The lion must have weighed a ton, but its heavy body floated in the air for a while before crashing into another tiger. Both hit the ground and rolled away.

The child barely escaped death, so he was still suffering from shock. Astonished, he then started crying out loud. “Brother Stone! Brother Stone!” Hope returned to the villagers! Their eyes glistened with happy tears.

“Stone!”

“Brother Stone!”

“Brother Stone, you are finally back!”

The rescuer who just emerged was Gu Xijiu, but she was not alone. Di Fuyi was back, too. However, he was fighting another beast at the moment. There was no time for chatter, so Gu Xijiu made a few swift teleportations and started killing the beasts with the sword in her hand.

They worked together perfectly and took down the beasts at every opportunity. The bodies of the slaughtered beasts lay motionless wherever they moved. Almost instantaneously, the beasts were beheaded. In a brief moment, more than half of the beasts were slaughtered. The rest of the beasts knew that the situation was not getting any better for them, so they left frantically.

The duo’s Kung Fu was extraordinarily good that even the guards on the wall were impressed. Everyone applauded for Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi as the beasts made their escape. The villagers also celebrated their survival.
