Chapter 950: War Rages Again

Upon hearing this, Qing Xiao's mature woman-like face instantly turned grim, and she warned, "Our Flower Sect, Heavenly Underworld Sect, and Star Fall Pavilion have joined forces, giving us four Half-Saint experts. Moreover, aside from Yao Chen, who is a newly ascended Half-Saint, the three of us are all stronger than you—think carefully."

The distant surviving Heavenly Underworld Sect members, including Sen Luo Gui Zun, heard this and instantly gritted their teeth in anger.

After all, they're not stupid; Qing Xiao had timed it, only appearing after Lin Feng killed their vice sect master.

Obviously done on purpose to weaken the Heavenly Underworld Sect's strength.

Now, seeing several Half-Saint experts arrive, Qing Xiao felt outmatched and immediately invoked their patriarch to intimidate them.

This move undoubtedly made the surviving Heavenly Underworld Sect members, including Sen Luo Gui Zun, extremely furious.

"I'm no coward; if you won't retreat, then fight."

Facing Qing Xiao's threat, Saint He Ke casually waved his hand and said indifferently.

Evidently, he didn't take her threat to heart.

After all, anyone who has cultivated to this level, aside from those relying on bloodline trash, is an elite of their generation.

Having reached this height, they've faced enemy threats countless times in their past lives.

How could they possibly abandon their dignity and flee in disgrace over just a couple of words from Qing Xiao?

"If that's the case, let's see whose skills are superior!"

Seeing the opponent refuse to retreat, Qing Xiao clenched her fists uncontrollably and forced out these words through gritted teeth.

This opportunity is rare; she would not give up killing Lin Feng and leave like that until the very end.

After all, if they backed down, the Flower Sect would become a laughingstock across the Zhongzhou Continent by tomorrow.

Such an outcome is obviously unacceptable to Qing Xiao.

Moreover, she clearly knows that whether she previously attacked Lin Feng or he sent people to use underhanded means to repeatedly assault the Flower Sect's base, causing heavy losses of disciples and elders.

For both sides, things have come to this point; neither trusts the other to keep growing, which would only add unnecessary risk.

Especially facing Lin Feng, a terrifyingly talented enemy, she must quickly kill him to avoid future trouble.

Seeing Saint He Ke unwilling to retreat, Qing Xiao turned to those behind her and said, "Everyone hold on for a moment; their few junior Half-Saints are no match for me. Once I deal with their Half-Saints, I'll immediately lead you to slaughter them utterly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Xiao shot forward like a flash toward Lin Feng's side.

At the same time, Yao Chen, seeing that Xiao Yan was temporarily unharmed, rushed full speed at Lin Feng.

After all, once Lin Feng dies, the rest will scatter in an instant.

By then, their goal will be successfully achieved!

But Lin Feng is no fool.

Upon sensing something wrong, he quickly retreated backward.

At the same time, Saint He Ke beside him, along with the Dan and Cao family patriarchs, reacted just as swiftly, rushing to meet Qing Xiao and Yao Chen.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The next moment, their five figures violently collided in the sky.

One after another, profound fighting techniques swiftly condensed in their hands, continuously smashing toward their opponents.

Perhaps seeing no chance to assassinate the opposing supreme leader, Qing Xiao and Saint He Ke tacitly shifted the battlefield farther away.

To avoid harming their own side with the battle's aftershocks.

"Everyone, follow me and quickly annihilate their Battle Venerables!"

Seeing Qing Xiao and Yao Chen tied up, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't waste time and immediately roared at the Battle Venerable cultivators behind him.

"Master Lin Feng, don't worry—we can't beat Half-Saint experts, but taking on these Battle Venerables is still no easy feat; just watch!"

After he said that, those Battle Venerables burst forth with a earth‑shaking shout.

Immediately, those over a hundred figures turned into black shadows and charged at the opposing Battle Venerables.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, whose leg was still half‑grown, saw morale low and the unit on the verge of total collapse.

He gritted his teeth and shouted at the Battle Venerable warriors on his side, "Everyone, though we're slightly outnumbered, we just need to hold on; once my teacher and Senior Qing Xianzi defeat those few Half-Saints, utterly routing the enemy will be a simple matter."

"Therefore, I ask you all to grit your teeth and persevere a little longer. When this is over, my master and I will reward you with an additional half of the promised payment as thanks."

Having said that, Xiao Yan stood on one leg, flew to the crowd's center, and slightly bowed to the hesitant Battle Venerable warriors around him.

"Since Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yan is so generous, we'll risk our lives to accompany him and fight them!"

Hearing about the increased reward, everyone's eyes flashed with a glint; most lost any thought of fleeing and shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, over fifty of them hesitated no longer and charged toward Lin Feng's side.

After all, they could see the distant battle circle of Qing Xiao, the Cao family patriarch, and Saint He Ke.

In the fight, Qing Xiao clearly held the advantage.

Therefore, as long as they can grit their teeth and endure, once Qing Xiao defeats those two junior Half‑Saints, they'll then help Yao Chen topple the Dan family patriarch.

By then, with two Half‑Saint experts aiding them, they'd practically win effortlessly.

Of course, among them, the Heavenly Underworld Sect folks were the least willing.

After all, their sect's vice sect master had died; upon returning, they wouldn't know how to explain it to the sect leader and patriarch.

Had they not feared being the first to desert and lose face for the Heavenly Underworld Sect, and risk punishment from the sect leader, they would have fled already.

But regardless of what those Heavenly Underworld Sect people think, time won't wait for them.

Altogether, both sides had nearly 160 Battle Venerable experts, and in an instant they collided in this sky.

In that instant, the surrounding onlookers saw figures streaking across the heavens, trading blows as their fighting techniques relentlessly smashed into the enemy.

Tremendously powerful fighting techniques clashed in the sky; the erupting techniques instantly turned into countless streams of gorgeous battle qi, scattering everywhere.

The surrounding space was likewise shattered instantly by the overwhelming battle qi.

As for the distant cultivators watching, they couldn't help but gape, staring blankly at the unforgettable spectacle unfolding above.

Previously, they had thought that a battle of over a hundred Battle Venerables was already extremely shocking.

Yet they never imagined that, within a single day, another battle would erupt, far more shocking than the previous one.

At this very moment, they no longer know what words to use to express their current feelings.
