Chapter 88: Counterattack

If the Tongyou Peak included Dong Qianzui who forcefully increased his cultivation realm with some sort of secret technique and Shang Bo who just arrived, they would have five Martial Extermination Realm cultivators on their side.

Even so, the party standing at an advantage was the Tongyou Peak!

Even after Yan Que was instakilled by Shang Bo, the members of the Four Spiritual Peak still held hopes of winning.

However, when Shang Bo turned around to heavily injure Yuwen Shengjie and revealed his cultivation to be close to the fourth layer of the Martial Extermination Realm, the Four Spiritual Peak finally realized that they might actually lose the battle!

“The only reason he came so late was probably because he was on the verge of breaking through! From the looks of it, he wanted to charge straight through to the fourth layer… However, he had to leave seclusion early because of this…” Liu Qinglan sighed. As she had joined hands with Shang Lubing to fight Ran Biluo, the two of them had quite an easy time. She was even able to think about other things during the fight.

“Where did he find another extermination origin? Moreover, he discovered two of them!”

Liu Qinglan seemed to have thought of something and she muttered under her breath, “Could it be?”

Liu Qinglan’s thoughts were quickly noticed by Shang Lubing. “Hey, are you really sure getting distracted now is a good idea?”

Liu Qinglan chuckled softly before turning her attention to the battle. They quickly suppressed Ran Biluo again.

The difference between Shang Bo and Shang Lubing when they displayed their strength was obvious.

From a certain perspective, Shang Lubing’s revelation of his strength wasn’t as shocking as his true identity.

The triple frost of the You Continent was really too damn famous!

Kou Chongxue took on the position as the patriarch of the Tongyou Institution and his fame shook the battlefield between two worlds. However, his sworn brother hid his identity and became the head of one of the divisions in the Tongyou Institution.

In twenty years, Kou Chongxue built the Tongyou Institution from nothing. His courage, wittiness, and methods have been put on display for all to see. Everyone in the higher ups of the Tongyou Institution greatly respected him.

No one thought that they would be kept in the dark about Shang Lubing’s actions. They only thought that everything was a part of his plan.

Liu Qinglan turned serious, and Ran Biluo’s situation took a turn for the worst.

…

On the Kaiyuan Peak, Shang Bo’s appearance gave all of them a huge boost. Shang Xia fell to his butt as he tried to stabilize the inner qi running wild in his body.

As the method he used to enter the Martial Extremity Realm was extremely special, his ingestion of the Scarlet Crystal wouldn’t affect him much. All he had to do was to circulate his inner qi naturally.

Despite him using up everything he could to stop Yan Que, he wasn’t able to fully utilize the energy contained in the crystal. When he unleashed the second strike, he couldn’t be bothered to wait for all the energy in his body to be balanced. Luckily, Shang Bo’s appearance allowed him to finally adjust his inner qi.

As the Yin Yang Diagram in his dantian rotated quickly, a wave of comfort washed over him. After this incident, his cultivation was bound to increase.

That was also taking into account the energy he wasted after ingesting the Scarlet Crystal. If he hadn’t wasted so much, his improvement would be even more!

Soft footsteps sounded behind him and Shang Xia turned to see Yun Yifei slowly approached.

“Little Xia, how are you feeling?” Perhaps it was because the most dangerous part of the battle had ended, or maybe it was because of his performance earlier. Yun Yifei’s tone softened a lot when she spoke to him.

“Aunt Yun, I’m fine!” Shang Xia wasn’t lying. After he took the chance to regulate his inner qi, he was back to normal.

Yun Yifei was stunned, but a smile soon formed on her face. “That’s good. Let’s go! We’ll head down the mountain and crush our enemies. We have to get even with them for what they have done!”

As Shang Xia hurried behind her, he asked, “Aunt Yun, is Senior Yuan Zhen not coming with us?”

“We can’t leave our territory empty even when chasing down the enemies. He has to control the protection formation on the Kaiyuan Peak.” Yun Yifei explained.

Since Yan Que’s appearance, there was only a single chain left connecting the bridge from the Kaiyuan Peak to the main peak. Even so, it couldn’t stop the two of them from crossing over.

Yun Yifei displayed the Yun Family’s Delicate Cloud Steps and she stepped lightly across the bridge.

Shang Xia’s Irregular Steps might be a little lacking, but it wasn’t a problem for him to cross.

Shang Xi and Yan Qi also had intentions to kill the enemy below, and they were waiting for those on the Kaiyuan Peak to arrive.

When Yun Yifei stepped onto the main peak, she glanced at Yan Qi before turning to Shang Xi. “Shall we go?”

Shang Xi looked at the foot of the mountain and muttered, “It will be better if we find a few horses.”

The four of them went down the mountain slowly, and Shang Xi asked, “What happened to Instructor Yuan Zilu?”

Yun Yifei sighed, “He exhausted his life force. We can’t save him…”

Shang Xi’s body trembled slightly and she sighed.

Yuan Zilu could be considered to be Shang Bo’s disciple in-name. His achievements in the art of the spear had been approved by Shang Bo.

When he started training, Shang Bo even guided him a little, causing Yuan Zilu to keep the elder’s grace in his heart.

By the time they descended the mountain, they saw countless cultivators rushing down with the same intention as them.

The reason they only appeared now was that they were in charge of controlling the protection formation on their respective peaks. Now that they were going to launch a full-scale counter attack, all these disciples with pent-up frustration in their hearts could finally release it.

Shang Xia was running behind Shang Xi and Yun Yifei when he caught sight of a familiar figure. “Teacher Sun?”

Sun Haiwei was planning to rush down the mountain, but she paused when someone called her name. She turned to the source of the voice and she noticed Shang Xia.

Before she could say anything, he asked, “How is Senior Brother Tian?”

“He managed to keep his life with the help of your Stimulation Talisman. However, his injuries are severe and no one knows when he will recover. Even if he did, he might not be able to advance as quickly as before.” Sun Haiwei sighed.

Even though he was a little sad, Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief. “No matter what, it’s good to be alive.”

Sun Haiwei nodded. Her expression eased up a whole lot.

Shang Xi was part of the group that knew that Sun Haiwei had comprehended martial intent and she suggested, “Teacher Sun, since you’re alone, why don’t you join us to head into battle? We’re missing one man anyway.”

Yun Yifei smiled and nodded at the side.

Sun Haiwei bowed quickly. “Many thanks to Senior Sister Shang and Senior Sister Yun. You can call me Haiwei…”

Shang Xi giggled in response, “Alright, Junior Sister Haiwei, the five of us can form one squad. Since your student here has no idea how to fight in the patrol squad’s formation, you can teach him a thing or two.”

Sun Haiwei nodded. “Of course.”

As the five of them descended the mountain, the disciples of the Four Spiritual Peak finally realized that something was wrong. With several Martial Intent Realm cultivators leading the way, they started to retreat.

Obviously, the cultivators of the Tongyou Peak wouldn’t let them off easy. For the enemy to come knocking on their doorsteps and kill their comrades, the disciples of the Tongyou Peak were boiling with rage. They wanted nothing more than to tear their enemies to shreds.

In order to hurry down to join the battle, some of them even started fighting for mounts.

When Shang Xi and the others arrived, no one dared to fight them over the horses. There were even some who offered up their mounts.

The reason was simple. With so many Martial Intent Realm cultivators in Shang Xi’s squad, they would be unstoppable!

Even if they were surrounded by several Martial Intent Realm cultivators, they would be able to escape unscathed.

The five of them rushed down the mountain on their Scarlet Cloud Horses.

Due to the raging battle going on around, there were many corpses lining the ground.

Shang Xia even saw the corpses of two people he knew. Even though they weren’t familiar with each other, at least they knew of each other’s existence. After Shang Xia and the others descended the mountain, they barely caught sight of the cultivators from the Four Spiritual Peak.

“Deputy Patriarch Shang appeared right above us. A lot of cultivators were gathered here, and they should have been the ones to retreat first.” Yun Yifei spoke casually, but she sounded extremely respectful when she talked about Shang Bo.

Yan Qi rode at the back while Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia rode in the middle. She started explaining the intricacies of the five man formation used by the patrol squads.

All of a sudden, Shang Xi yelled, “look at that!”

All of them turned in unison, and they saw some weirdly packed ground in the distance. It was filled with tiny little holes like a beehive, and there were eight cultivators of the Four Spiritual World lying on the ground.

The remnant energy of Shang Bo’s attack rained down on the land after he killed Yan Que and there were probably a lot of cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak present. All of them were killed instantly.

Yun Yifei sighed, “Too bad none of them were Martial Intent Realm cultivators. The stronger ones probably ran away in time. They should be able to defend themselves too…”

Shang Xi muttered, “There’s no way those at the Martial Intent Realm will die so easily…”

The five of them rushed out of the valley under the Qiling and Kaiyuan Peaks and something interesting caught Shang Xia’s eye. “Look! That’s the black cape!”
