243 The Zhang Family vs. The Li Family!
The thick smell of blood filled the meeting hall.
The scattered pieces of flesh and the red-white sticky mixture splattered onto the bodies of the martial artists fighting nearby. Some of them even flew directly into the mouths of some martial artists who were breathing.
“Bah!”
“Ugh…”
The fishy smell made several battle-seasoned martial artists curse.
“Which bastard is throwing those dirty things?!” the elder of the Zhang family roared as he swept his gaze across the entire battlefield.
On the huge battlefield, the Li family’s third branch had the upper hand. There were people from the Li family everywhere, and the situation was very good.
As he watched, the smile on his face grew wider and wider. Finally, his gaze fell on the center of the meeting hall.
The smile on his face suddenly stopped.
A headless corpse fell to its knees in front of Qin Huai amidst the clanging of swords. As the corpse’s green robe was torn apart, the exposed treasured weapon, the green scales, were eye-catching, indicating the identity of the deceased.
“Haoyue!” the elder of the Zhang family cried out in grief, his eyes about to pop out.
Zhang Wu, who was fighting Li Zeren, roared, “Don’t just think about relying on others in a war?! You have so many helpers around you. If you can’t even defeat one of them, do you still have the face to ask for help?”
Zhang Wu was furious. He felt that the elder of the Zhang family was crying out for help because he was in danger.
In a chaotic battle, it was taboo to be distracted by a comrade’s call for help.
Most people had similar experiences when they were young. Because he was distracted by his companions’ cries for help in the chaotic battle, the battle that was originally evenly matched and even had victory in hand was instantly reversed.
If it was light, he would be seriously injured, and if it was serious, he would be reincarnated.
Zhang Wu had been like this when he was young. He had a hidden injury on his waist that made it difficult for him to say. Fortunately, he had given birth to an heir early on. Even a genius like Zhang Haoyue could be considered to have gained and lost.
The battle in the meeting hall was a life-and-death battle in which the two families gambled their lives and the future of their families. Therefore, the level of danger was far greater than before.
He was naturally confident in Zhang Haoyue’s strength. However, they could not withstand the siege of the chaotic battle. As the saying goes, two fists could not fight against four hands.
Even the old master was afraid of treasured weapons. If he really wanted Haoyue to leave behind a secret as difficult as his, he would definitely cut that bastard into a thousand pieces.
“Everyone, focus on killing the enemy. Our Zhang family will definitely win this battle!”
A heavy fist came crashing down in front of Zhang Wu, who was looking sideways, unable to open his eyes.
Boom!
Zhang Wu and Li Zeren exchanged another punch.
Blood dripped from the corner of Zhang Wu’s mouth, and he swallowed the sweetness in his throat.
When the two family heads fought, new and old grudges piled up, and their attacks were crazy. Any flaw could become the key to determining the outcome.
Zhang Wu did not dare to be distracted. “Li Zeren, I didn’t expect you to be a coward for so many years. Your realm hasn’t shrunk.”
Zhang Wu’s face was ferocious as he provoked Li Zeren. He had been reluctant to attack the Li family because he was afraid of Li Zeren, who was also at the fourth-level bone pattern realm.
The two of them were the only two martial artists at the fourth-level bone pattern realm in the Nine Dragons sect.
This realm was one step at a time, so the difference between majestic forces was not as easy to smooth out as the difference between vitality. It was like a fight between two ants that only required a thin wooden stick, but a fight between two lions required complete armor, a longbow, and a sharp blade.
If Li Zeren were willing to give up the entire Li family and escape, then hide in the dark to kill the Zhang family, that would definitely cause his Zhang family to suffer heavy losses.
However, today was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Using Qin Huai’s trial as an excuse, he wanted to keep Li Zeren here.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the ending was harmless. He would kill Li Zeren, seize Qin Huai’s bones, and use the name of rebellion to wipe out the Li family in one fell swoop, making the Nine Dragons sect completely Zhang.
In the face of the seemingly anxious situation, Zhang Wu was still very confident. After all, with the advantage in numbers, time was always on their Zhang family’s side.
As for the casualties of the two families in a life-and-death battle, it was naturally acceptable under the temptation of the three families.
On the other side of the battlefield…
Compared to Zhang Wu and the other members of the Zhang family, who were fighting to the death and had no time to care about their surroundings, Li Zian seemed to be much more relaxed.
He was slacking off on the battlefield, retreating while fighting. He didn’t want to fight with the Li family’s experts. He hoped that both families would suffer heavy losses.
That way, his fifth branch would have a chance to rise up. Moreover, if he was seriously injured in the hands of the Li family, he would temporarily lose his resistance and value. It was difficult to guarantee that he would not be punished by Zhang Wu.
He wandered among the crowd, picking out the young Li family elders who were at the eighth or ninth blood refinement realm to fight. With his cultivation at the first-level bone pattern realm, he could do two things at once.
And then…
He had witnessed the crushing battle in the center of the meeting hall.
His third brother’s death could still be said to be due to carelessness, but what was up with that Zhang Haoyue? Why was he unable to retaliate against Qin Huai?
Li Zian’s heart skipped a beat. He realized that something was wrong.
Whoosh!
A pair of eyes that bloomed with white light instantly looked over.
As their eyes met, Li Zian felt his soul tremble.
“What a demonic technique!” he roared loudly to boost his courage.
But in the next moment, Qin Huai had already disappeared from his sight.
Li Zian did not dare to be negligent, so his originally casual exchange of blows immediately changed. He used the white dragon force armor and held a broken treasured longsword in his hand.
