The battle began, and Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi charged towards the Flame Lightning Saint Family's encampment.
Qing Yi, wearing a bronze mask, swung his battle-halberd, pinning down Lei Tianding; Qin Lingxi wielded her long sword, starting a massacre against the Flame Lightning Saint Family.
Loose Cultivators and people from smaller forces retreated; they couldn't get involved in a Saint Family war, and besides, the Vermilion Bird Saint Family's hatred for the Flame Lightning Saint Family was too great, almost a hatred of genocide, so no amount of killing was too much.
With Lei Tianding, the leader of the Flame Lightning Saint Family, pinned by Qing Yi, no other subordinates could stop Qin Lingxi's slaughter, and several people were killed in moments.
Lei Tianding roared repeatedly; he was very angry. His mobilized forces hadn't arrived yet, and the Vermilion Bird Saint Family had already made their move. His strength was greater than Qing Yi's, but defeating Qing Yi would be very difficult, and Qing Yi only needed to pin him down. It was a completely unreasonable suppression of power; the wide, sweeping attacks of the battle-halberd blocked all of Lei Tianding's routes to attack Qin Lingxi.
The battle was one-sided, with the Flame Lightning Saint Family being utterly routed and fleeing in all directions by Qin Lingxi's slaughter.
"What you owe the Vermilion Bird Saint Family, you must repay!" Qin Lingxi turned and charged at Lei Tianding, beginning to attack him alongside Qing Yi.
Lei Tianding was filled with raging fury; he had brought the Family's elite juniors here for training today, never expecting to bring a disaster of annihilation upon them.
Originally, the battle situation was very stable. Lei Tianding was strong, but he was also under great pressure facing Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi. It was hard to say who would win in the long run, but variables were everywhere. People from the Black Tortoise Saint Family suddenly arrived, and the two leaders, without a word, attacked Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi.
This put Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi at a disadvantage; one could say they were in danger because the two from the Black Tortoise Saint Family were very strong, both being Elders within their Family.
Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi wanted to retreat, but they were suppressed by Lei Tianding and the two Elders from the Black Tortoise Saint Family, making it impossible to retreat safely. The situation was quite critical.
"Cowards, you dare to make a move now?" The enraged Qin Chu charged into the Black Tortoise Saint Family members. If you attack my aunt, then I will kill your Family members.
Qin Chu's speed was too fast; before the Black Tortoise Saint Family members could react, two of them were killed.
"Qin Chu, retreat!" Seeing Qin Chu emerge, Qin Lingxi became anxious.
"Aunt, don't worry, they can't kill me. I have an escape route!" Qin Chu shouted. He indeed had an escape route; if worst came to worst, he would retreat to the forbidden area.
As Qin Chu began his slaughter, Cultivators from the Black Tortoise Saint Family below the King realm couldn't withstand it. After several were killed, they were scattered. Once scattered, the Black Tortoise Saint Family's forces had no defense, and Qin Chu began to pursue and kill them.
"Sixth Brother, go kill that little brat." The leader of the Black Tortoise Saint Family shouted to another person.
At this point, one of the two Elders from the Black Tortoise Saint Family who were besieging Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi withdrew from the battle and charged towards Qin Chu.
"You can't kill me!" Qin Chu approached the forbidden area.
"You must die today." The Sixth Elder of the Black Tortoise Saint Family lunged at Qin Chu, but Qin Chu used Sparrow Flight to run towards the forbidden area. There was still a distance between him and Qin Chu, making it difficult to catch up.
At this moment, the Elder from the Black Tortoise Saint Family who had been shouting also lunged at Qin Chu. He felt that dealing with Qin Chu was more important than dealing with Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi. Qin Chu was the sole Young Lord of the Vermilion Bird Saint Family, and besides, it would be very difficult for him and Lei Tianding to take care of Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi.
"You two go, and call Grandfather to come get me." Qin Chu shouted to Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi as he ran towards the forbidden area.
"Go!" Qing Yi swung his battle-halberd, repelling Lei Tianding, and then, with his left hand, he flung out a burst of energy, pulling Qin Lingxi with him as they retreated. He knew they had to retreat now; they would retreat and call Qin Longhan to bring experts to pick them up. Qin Chu would be safe within the forbidden area.
Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi retreated, and at this point, Qin Chu fell into danger because the shameless Lei Tianding blocked Qin Chu's route into the forbidden area.
"Damn you!" Qin Chu activated his Sacred Fire Sword Wings, his soaring body making a sharp turn and running to the side. He couldn't worry about so much; without a retreat route, even if it meant entering the Sword North Forest, he had to run first. Drawing a circle and then entering the forbidden area would also work.
Qin Chu entered beyond the designated area, and before he could even draw a circle, he was surrounded by a group of people. "Those who trespass into the Sword North Forest, die!"
They were Yao Beast Cultivators from the Sword North Forest. They were truly monitoring this area. Within the designated area, they didn't care how human Cultivators messed around, because that was what the King had instructed. Now that Qin Chu had entered beyond the designated area, they naturally had to kill him.
"Stop! This person is my friend. Others who enter, kill them!" A woman's voice rang out, followed by a blade light that slashed behind Qin Chu, severing the sword energy attacks launched by the two Elders of the Black Tortoise Saint Family.
"Does your Sword North Forest not follow rules?" The old man from the Black Tortoise Saint Family questioned coldly.
"Is what happens in the Sword North Forest something you get to manage?" A burly man stepped forward, pointing a long spear at the Elder of the Black Tortoise Saint Family.
At this moment, Qin Chu's eyes were filled with shock, because the woman standing in front of him, he knew her! Shouldn't she be in Tianxiang Valley?
Who was the person in front of Qin Chu? It was Zihuan, who had come out of the Azure King Secret Realm. Qin Chu didn't understand how Zihuan appeared here.
"He is my younger brother, others who enter, kill them, but he doesn't count, he is a guest." Zihuan said.
"The Princess's younger brother, then he is a guest of our Sword North Forest. Anyone who dares to pursue and kill him, directly eliminate them." The big man holding the long spear shouted.
Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi, who were about to return to rescue, also noticed the situation. What was there to rescue? They just needed to escape, Qin Chu was safe.
Changing direction, Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi continued to leave. They didn't need to rescue Qin Chu; their own safety was enough. The sudden appearance and attack of the Black Tortoise Saint Family truly caught them off guard.
"Sister Zihuan, how did you appear here?" Qin Chu asked Zihuan.
"Hehe! After you left, I got bored, so I decided to travel around and see the world. Then I came to this Sword North Forest, and Big Brother kept me here. I was just wondering how to rescue you, and then you ran over." Zihuan said with a smile.
"I had no choice but to run over; these shameless people just want to kill me." Qin Chu said awkwardly. Every time he met Zihuan, he was in a sorry state.
"They are indeed shameless enough, Qin Chu. I still have a task, to watch them and make sure they don't mess around. Let's drink wine while watching them, and I'll take you to see my Big Brother later!" Zihuan said.
At this moment, Lei Tianding and the two Elders of the Black Tortoise Saint Family were bewildered, not knowing what was happening. When did Qin Chu get a sister in the Sword North Forest? How the hell were they supposed to kill him now? Entering the Sword North Forest area meant going against the King of the Sword North Forest, and that was simply not worth it.
