Chapter 2871: This fight was so easy

Watching the Iron Peak Clan Chief softly comforting himself, this Feather God Tribe elder's face turned ashen, "What the hell are you saying?" he immediately shouted.

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated; you've gone too far, I'll fight you to the death."

"Wait, what are you fighting for? Be careful I might really kill you."

Seeing this elder about to fight to the death, the Iron Peak Clan Chief couldn't help but panic; he truly didn't want to fight to the death with this Feather God Tribe elder.

If both elders were killed by him, he'd lose face; he couldn't even capture them alive—wouldn't that show how useless he is as clan chief?

So, facing this Feather God Tribe elder's frenzied counterattack, the Iron Peak Clan Chief was forcibly holding back his strength.

This naturally made the Feather God Tribe elder feel it, his heart filled with mixed grief and indignation.

"Who the hell do you think you're looking down on?" In an instant, he became even more frenzied, preferring to die in battle rather than suffer this humiliation.

This instead left the Iron Peak Clan Chief dazed, not knowing how to respond.

Before, he just killed them outright; now he has to take them alive, which has complicated things, and he doesn't know what to do.

Finally, an Iron Peak Tribe elder arrived, and together they managed to subdue this Feather God Tribe elder.

They tied him up directly, and that elder looked at his clan chief speechlessly.

"Clan Chief, how can you not even capture a person?"

"I'm afraid I'll kill him."

"Then tie him up."

"I don't know how."

The Iron Peak Clan Chief doesn't know how to tie people up; before, he just killed them outright—who would bother tying you up?

Seeing his clan chief's helpless expression, that elder also shook his head.

"When the Human Race taught the tying technique, you definitely didn't attend, Clan Chief."

"I had something to do that day."

As for how to tie people, when they planned earlier, many Barbarian God Tribe members said they couldn't, so Hong Zun and the others specially taught the technique.

How to tie tighter, more conveniently, and harder to escape—those were all taught.

Looking at this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief obviously never learned it.

At this moment, facing this tribe elder of his own, the Iron Peak Clan Chief replied guiltily.

He never expected it to be so troublesome; he'd broken the elder's limbs, yet the Feather God Tribe elder still wanted to fight to the death.

With the two leading elders, one dead and one captured, the Feather God Tribe side naturally lost all ability to resist.

In the end, half the Feather God Tribe were killed, half captured; this capture rate is indeed rather low.

However, there's nothing to be done; achieving this much, the Barbarian God Tribe members have already done their best.

On the Barbarian God Tribe side, some were wounded, which is normal, but not a single person died, and there wasn't even a serious injury.

When the casualties were finally confirmed, even the Barbarian God Tribe themselves were dumbfounded.

In past encounters with the Feather God Tribe, it was never anything but heavy casualties, which many tribe members had long grown accustomed to.

But after this big battle, there wasn't even a single serious injury.

Some Iron Peak Tribe members couldn't help but sigh.

"Was this battle really that easy?"

"When did these ground‑dwelling chickens become this weak?"

"I've never fought such an easy battle before."

"Has the Feather God Tribe weakened, or have we grown stronger?" Many Iron Peak Tribe members were filled with doubt.

Seeing the Iron Peak Tribe folks looking astonished, Hong Zun and the others stepped forward only after confirming safety, and asked curiously.

"What's wrong? You've won a complete victory—why the long faces?"

"This battle was far too easy."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Hong Zun and the others froze for a moment—'Not good that it's simple?' Do you lot really want it to be harder?

"I always feel the Barbarian God Tribe's thinking is unlike that of the Human Race."

Only after talking did they find out.

In past fights with the Feather God Tribe, the Barbarian God Tribe basically always suffered an initial loss, being innately half‑blooded.

Either they were ambushed or fell for a scheme—either way, they started at a blood deficit.

A normal start was already considered taking advantage.

Simply put, if the Feather God Tribe failed to gain an advantage at the outset, the battle was essentially lost for them—the Barbarian God Tribe would win.

This natural disadvantage is something the Barbarian God Tribe have grown accustomed to, feeling it should be that way.

So this time, facing an advantageous opening, the Barbarian God Tribe were instead unaccustomed to it.

"Is the Feather God Tribe really this easy to deal with? Many Iron Peak Tribe members even felt they hadn't even exerted themselves before the battle ended."

"Without missing arms or legs, that couldn't even count as having fought the Feather God Tribe."

Hearing the Iron Peak Tribe members' sighs, Hong Zun and the others exchanged glances, ultimately settling their gaze on Ye Zhangqing.

The meaning in those looks was crystal clear: "Where did you find this bunch of top‑notch specimens?"

Ye Zhangqing could only respond with a helpless, wry smile.

The Barbarian God Tribe truly are unsuited to the Dao One Immortal Sect's fighting style.

"Given the chance to strike first from the shadows, who would foolishly go all‑out against you?"

"For now they lack that ability; otherwise Hong Zun and the others could absolutely assassinate those Feather God Tribe powerhouses from the shadows, with no need to fight head‑on."

"That is beyond doubt."

"Everyone, study well from now on."

With a complex expression, he said to the people of the Iron Peak Tribe, 'These Barbarian God Tribe still have a lot to learn, and moreover, being able to survive until now is also a miracle.'

Looking at it this way, the Feather God Tribe isn't that smart either; otherwise they'd have been killed by this bunch of brutes long ago, damn, how could they have survived until now?

In the aftermath of the shock, Hong Zun greeted everyone to clean up the battlefield; the captured Feather God Tribe members were successively brought onto the Human Race's Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel.

Meanwhile, a feather ship actually wasn't affected by the recent battle, remaining intact; this also counts as a great gain.

After all, the Feather God Tribe's feather ship, compared to the Human Race's Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel, is indeed far more advanced.

Such intact feather ships, taken back for the Human Race's Weapon Refiners to study and draw inspiration from, might possibly bring about a fundamental change to the Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel, a significant improvement.

Compared to these innate tribes, the Human Race is still far behind in many aspects.

Of course, this does not include the Barbarian God Tribe, because seeing Hong Zun and the others even wanting this feather ship, a member of the Iron Peak Tribe doubted.

"What do you want this thing for? It's useless."

Huh???

"You all don't need such a magical treasure?"

"No need."

"Then how do you manage to come to Beyond the Heavens?"

"Just fly directly, having legs is enough."

Good, good, good, indeed a bunch of primitives, they don't even know how to sit on a flying magical artifact; what kind of life did these Barbarian God Tribe used to live?

Not to mention in the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm; upon arriving in Beyond the Heavens, they have to rely on their own two legs to fly, which is truly absurd.

Many of the Iron Peak Tribe scoffed at this feather ship, thinking it useless; for this, Hong Zun, including Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe, couldn't be bothered to explain further.

What are you arguing with them for? These Barbarian God Tribe simply don't understand these things; the whole tribe doesn't even have a damn Weapon Refiner, let alone magical treasures, which they utterly disdain; heavenly materials and earthly treasures are just gnawed raw, purely a bunch of primitives.
