Chapter 14: Kong Xuan Subdues the Witch Clan
After a day of reorganization, the Human Race army finished assembling. A close look revealed that the strength of the Human Race army was actually quite good. The leaders were already at the Luo Heaven Immortal realm, which was very strong for a race that had only been developing for a few thousand years. Of course, they could not compare to the Witch Clan. Naturally, if one added the few Golden Immortals from the Chan Sect and the few Great Luo Golden Immortal experts like Zhao Gongming, there was still hope of victory against the severely weakened Witch Clan. It was only because they lacked experts on the same level as Chiyou that they had suffered repeated losses.
"Fellow compatriots of the Human Race, it is time for us to take the initiative; we cannot remain on the defensive forever. This time, many Immortals of the Dao have come to help. We will certainly be able to defeat them this time. The Human Race will prevail!" the Human Emperor Xuanyuan shouted loudly.
"The Human Race will prevail! The Human Race will prevail! The Witch Clan will be defeated! The Witch Clan will be defeated!" the Human Race army shouted with high morale.
It seems Xuanyuan has awakened the fighting spirit of the Human Race once again; he is no simple man. As for what comes next, leave it to me.
The Human Race and the Witch Clan clashed. Then, Kong Xuan faced Chiyou, Yunxiao faced the God of War Xingtian, and Guangchengzi faced Liuxiang.
"State your name, newcomer. I do not kill nameless ghosts," Chiyou's arrogant voice rang out.
"I am Kong Xuan. Remember this name. You will know who killed you," Kong Xuan said in a provocative tone.
"Hmph, enough nonsense. Take my move and see what you are worth, daring to be so arrogant." As he spoke, he swung his fist and struck.
He is indeed the leader of the Witch Clan; he is truly formidable. Kong Xuan felt the surrounding space stagnate and activated his Phoenix Wing to dodge immediately.
"Hmph, all you know is how to dodge, you coward," Chiyou said angrily.
It turned out that Kong Xuan had no intention of fighting Chiyou, only dodging blindly. Kong Xuan had his own ideas; in any case, he only needed to stall Chiyou for now and did not need to defeat him at all.
On the other hand, the battle between Yunxiao and Xingtian was quite intense. Xingtian brandished his great axe, hacking ruthlessly at Yunxiao. Yunxiao was unfazed and activated the Hunyuan Golden Dipper for full defense. The axe emitted a dazzling blue Light, and the Hunyuan Golden Dipper emitted a brilliant blue Light as they collided.
With a bang, they each retreated a step; it was a draw.
Looking at the fight between Liuxiang and Guangchengzi, it was truly comical. Although Liuxiang was a Great Witch, his strength was not very high; he mainly used poison. Guangchengzi's close-combat ability was also not very strong, so the two stood far apart. One was busy spewing poison while constantly dodging the attacks of the Seal of Heaven-Turning, while the other kept directing the Seal of Heaven-Turning to smash downward while constantly dispelling the poison.
The battle continued. Suddenly, Yunxiao deliberately revealed a flaw. Xingtian, not realizing it was a trap, rushed in rashly and was consequently sucked into the Hunyuan Golden Dipper. The battle ended.
Then, Yunxiao came over to help Guangchengzi, and in a moment, they took down Liuxiang. Then, they prepared to come over to help Kong Xuan.
"Don't worry about me here. Go help the Human Race army and end the battle quickly," Kong Xuan said loudly when he saw them walking toward him.
When Chiyou saw that his two good friends of many years had both been captured, their fates unknown, and that if this continued, the Witch Clan would definitely be defeated, he finally erupted.
His fists became even more ferocious, and his speed increased; one could clearly hear the *pop-pop* sounds of his fists breaking through the air.
Kong Xuan saw that it was time for the decisive battle, so he stopped dodging and swung his fist to meet him.
With a loud *bang*, Kong Xuan retreated three steps before steadying himself, while Chiyou only retreated a small step.
Kong Xuan felt his hand aching from the shock; it seemed there was indeed a large gap between the Fifth Turn and the Sixth Turn.
But Kong Xuan did not shrink back. He used the Air-Separating Fist and Phoenix Wing to dodge attacks constantly. At first, Chiyou suppressed Kong Xuan, but slowly, Kong Xuan began to counterattack, having grown accustomed to his combat instincts. There are two types of people who are super strong in close combat: one is the diligent and hardworking person who has rich fighting experience, having fought thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of battles, and thus has strong close-combat ability; the other is the person who possesses combat instinct, who can be more familiar with the rhythm of fighting than the average person, and then control the rhythm, making their close-combat ability extremely strong based on instinct.
Kong Xuan belonged to the latter. He fought more advantageously the longer he fought, becoming braver with every strike. Kong Xuan also entered a wonderful state where, no matter what moves the opponent used, he could use his instincts to perfectly block or even counterattack.
The two fists collided, and Kong Xuan and Chiyou each retreated a step.
Kong Xuan felt a rush of pleasure; he had actually broken through and finally reached the Sixth Turn. This was truly a good omen.
From then on, he stopped dodging Chiyou and collided head-on, using his body to resist. That feeling was truly satisfying. He used every move imaginable—kicking the groin, "monkey stealing the peach"—and fought more and more fiercely, slowly suppressing Chiyou.
Chiyou could not take it anymore. *Damn it, what is going on? How is this rookie's technique getting better the more he fights? His rate of improvement is too fast. I accumulated this skill over thousands of years, and he is going to catch up to me so quickly? Is this what they call a genius? * Chiyou thought gloomily. *No, if I fight like this, I will definitely lose. *
Suddenly, Chiyou let out a roar: "Wu Race Heaven-Dominating Fist." This was clearly the number one fist technique of the Witch Clan, and its attack power increased terrifyingly.
Kong Xuan clearly felt the power of this punch. Before the fist even arrived, the momentum alone made Kong Xuan feel short of breath. *Hmph, you have a trump card, but do I not? *
"Blazing Air-Separating Wave Fist!" Kong Xuan also let out a roar and struck out with a terrifying punch.
The two fists collided. One only heard a series of loud *boom-boom* sounds, and the earth beneath their feet was shattered.
Kong Xuan remained in a standing position, but the blood slowly flowing from his mouth showed he had been severely injured. Chiyou was even more collapsed on the ground. Clearly, Kong Xuan had won this battle.
Looking at Chiyou's stubborn, struggling appearance, Kong Xuan suddenly had an idea and said, "Chiyou, do you concede?"
"So what if I lost? The men of the Witch Clan only die in battle; they do not surrender. We would rather die than submit!" Chiyou shouted.
"I believe there is no need for the two races to continue fighting. How about this: as long as you promise that the Witch Clan will no longer make things difficult for the Human Race from now on, and will no longer appear in places where the Human Race resides, I can take charge and let the remaining Witch Clan go," Kong Xuan continued.
"Nonsense, the Human Race is everywhere. Where is the Witch Clan supposed to survive?" Chiyou said gloomily.
"How about this: my island, Dongying Island, is one of the three great Immortal mountains. The terrain is vast and can accommodate the Witch Clan. However, from now on, the Witch Clan must be part of my Kong Xuan lineage. Although it is called my Kong Xuan lineage, I will not force your Witch Clan to do anything for me. Otherwise, I fear your Witch Clan will be officially wiped out starting today. Think it over carefully before you answer me," Kong Xuan said cunningly.
Chiyou listened to Kong Xuan's words, pondered for a while, and replied helplessly, "Fine, but you must remember your promise: you must not force my Witch Clan to do anything."
"Of course, I, Kong Xuan, will absolutely not go back on my word."
"Good, then I agree. You must release Xingtian and Liuxiang," Chiyou continued.
"Very well. Junior Sister Yunxiao, please release Xingtian and Liuxiang, and tell the army to stop fighting. This battle has been won; it can end now," Kong Xuan said to Yunxiao.
Thus, this great war between the Humans and Witches officially ended, and Kong Xuan had taken full advantage of the situation.
