Chapter 104 Battle In Qianwei
Mei Yan, the mistress of Xiao Ling, couldn’t help but voice her concerns, “A person of King Realm such as yourself should not stoop to such unjustified executions.”
Lady Zhuoran, the mother of Bixi Shuyan, chimed in, “Even a King Realm expert like you cannot hope to fight us both simultaneously. This fight will only end in your defeat.”
Wang Jian’s expression remained inscrutable as he gazed at Mei Yan, “You are the Celestial Dragon Sect’s mistress for the local branch, correct?”
After Mei Yan nodded in agreement, Wang Jian added with a frigid tone, “Even the Sect Master of your main branch in the empire wouldn’t dare to cross me. You will regret interfering in my affairs.”
Mei Yan’s eyes widened with shock as she realized the extent of Wang Jian’s status from his demeanor and attire.
Wang Jian then turned his attention to Lady Zhuoran and spoke with a sinister smirk, “You have made a grave mistake by coming here today. And I will demonstrate the consequences of your actions soon enough.”
Lady Zhuoran let out a disdainful snort as she bellowed, “All of you, come out and attack!”
Xiao Ling and Bixi Shuyan had landed on the ground and were making their way quickly towards Zhang Fei.
Suddenly, resounding roars echoed from the nearby forests as hundreds of beasts charged towards the town square. These were the beasts from the Beastclaw Grove.
Zhang Fei’s expression brightened with hope, and a smile appeared on his face. He thought that he might have a chance to survive this day.
But Wang Jian had other plans. A malicious smile stretched across his face as he shouted, “Slaughter anyone who dares to approach the execution site! But don’t kill those women. Make sure to capture them.”
Upon hearing Wang Jian’s orders, the members of the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and the Dao of Alchemy Society, sprang into action, taking up positions around the execution site. They formed a tight perimeter, with weapons at the ready, in anticipation of any attacks.
The City Lord, initially torn between his duty to maintain order and his compassion for Zhang Fei, ultimately decided to side with Wang Jian. He realized that cooperating with the powerful and imposing figure was his best chance of staying alive.
He quickly rallied his own members, who were initially hesitant, and urged them to join forces with the Lin and Ji Clans. Together, they formed a united front, determined to quell any resistance from the four women.
The City Lord knew that if Wang Jian’s plans failed, he could always use the chaos to rescue Zhang Fei and make a quick escape. But for now, his priority was to ensure his own survival and the safety of his men. .
Xiao Ling and Bai Shuyan were in the thick of battle with members of the Lin and Ji Clans.
Meng Xiangyi and Xu Yuting, on the other hand, stood still and watched the chaos unfold. They refrained from joining the fight for two reasons.
The first was that their factions were allied with Wang Jian, and they didn’t want to cause any harm to their own allies or the two women fighting against them.
Secondly, they harbored suspicions about Zhang Fei’s actions and believed he deserved punishment for his alleged misdeeds. Therefore, they opted to remain neutral for the time being and observe the situation from afar.
Wang Jian gracefully took to the air, his movements almost ethereal as he faced the two formidable women before him – Mei Yan, the mistress of the Celestial Dragon Sect’s branch in the kingdom, and Lady Zhuoran, the leader of the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan.
The battle between the members of the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society and Xiao Ling, Bixi Shuyan, and the beasts from the Beastclaw Grove was intense and grueling.
The Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society members were determined to prevent the beasts from approaching the execution site, while Xiao Ling and Bixi Shuyan were equally determined to approach it and free Zhang Fei.
The beasts from the Beastclaw Grove were a fierce and diverse group, with a variety of species fighting on their behalf.
There were large, powerful bears with thick, shaggy fur that made them almost impervious to attack.
There were sleek, agile foxes with razor-sharp claws and teeth, who darted in and out of the fray with lightning speed.
And there were massive, lumbering boars with tusks the size of swords, who charged forward with unstoppable force.
Bixi Shuyan, the young heiress of the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan, fought with grace and precision, her movements almost like a dance.
She was surrounded by a group of foxes, who fought with her in perfect synchronization.
They darted in and out of the melee, their claws and teeth flashing in the sunlight.
Xiao Ling, Zhang Fei’s maid, fought with a fierce determination that belied her small size. She wielded a longsword with deadly skill as she infused it with Ice Qi, cutting down anyone who got too close to her or Bixi Shuyan.
The Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society members fought bravely, but they were severely outnumbered and outmatched.
They were forced to work together, using their different strengths to defend themselves against the onslaught of beasts.
Some of the Dao of Alchemy Society members used their knowledge of alchemy to create powerful spells that blasted the beasts with fire and lightning.
Others used their martial arts skills to fight hand-to-hand with the creatures, dodging and weaving around their attacks.
The Lin Clan members, with their reputation for being skilled archers, provided cover from a distance, firing arrows at the beasts with deadly accuracy.
They targeted the largest and most dangerous of the creatures, hoping to take them down before they could get too close to the execution site.
Despite their efforts, the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society members were slowly being pushed back.
The beasts were relentless, and they seemed to have an endless supply of reinforcements. The battle raged on for what felt like hours, with neither side gaining a significant advantage.
At one point, Bixi Shuyan let out a high-pitched whistle, and suddenly a group of wolves appeared from the trees.
These wolves were unlike any of the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society members had ever seen. They were almost twice the size of normal wolves, with thick fur that shimmered in the sunlight. They had glowing green eyes that seemed to glow with an otherworldly intelligence.
These wolves fought with a ferocity that was unmatched. They tore through the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society members with ease, their sharp teeth and claws shredding through flesh and bone.
Bixi Shuyan fought alongside them, her movements even more fluid and graceful as she danced around her enemies.
Xiao Ling, on the other hand, fought alongside a pack of bears. These bears were massive, easily twice the size of any bear the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society members had ever encountered.
They charged forward with reckless abandon, their massive paws slamming into the ground with a force that shook the earth.
As the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society members were being pushed back by the relentless beasts, they knew that there was only one way to turn the tide of the battle – to fight with reckless abandon.
Without hesitation, each member pulled out a small pellet from their pouch and swallowed it. These were Violent Qi Empowering Pellets, a powerful drug that Wang Jian had given them earlier in the day.
The effects of the drug were almost immediate, as the members felt a surge of power coursing through their veins.
They could feel their cultivation greatly boosted by a single rank, giving them an edge in the grueling battle. Their movements became more agile, their attacks more precise, and their stamina seemingly limitless.
With newfound strength, the members charged forward with renewed vigor.
The Lin Clan archers fired their arrows with deadly accuracy, taking down the largest and most dangerous of the creatures.
The Dao of Alchemy Society members unleashed powerful spells that blasted the beasts with fire and lightning, while others used their martial arts skills to fight hand-to-hand with the creatures.
Meanwhile, the Ji Clan members fought with ferocity, their weapons glinting in the sunlight as they clashed against the beasts. They moved with fluidity, their movements almost like a dance as they dodged and weaved around the attacks of their enemies.
Despite their outnumbered status, the members of the Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society were able to gain the upper hand in the battle.
They fought with determination and courage, using their superior cultivation to dominate the beasts.
The effects of the Violent Qi Empowering Pellets lasted for nearly three hours, and in that time, the members of the three clans were able to claim a hard-fought victory.
It was a battle for the ages, one that would be remembered for generations to come.
The Lin Clan, Ji Clan, and Dao of Alchemy Society had proven their worth, and they had done so in the face of impossible odds. It was a testament to their strength, skill, and unbreakable spirit.
They had slaughtered most of the beasts that had appeared and had also captured Bai Shuyan and Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling and Bai Shuyan were tied with powerful ropes that were used to restrain Lord Realm Beasts. It was impossible for them to escape.
As the members’ grueling battle drew to a close, they found themselves looking around and searching for Wang Jian, Mei Yan, and Lady Zhuoran. The three were nowhere to be seen, however, they knew that the battle was still going on.
This was because the ferocity of Wang Jian’s ongoing confrontation against Mei Yan and Lady Zhuoran shook the very earth beneath them, leaving no doubt that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of all involved.
