Chapter 1159

Trembling, he said to Hearing Gai Nie and Hearing Sheng Qi,

"Hero Gai, Brother Sheng... this Earth Marsh Twenty-Four is not easy to deal with.

The four Hall Masters setting up the array—Tian Hu, Tian Yan, Tian Zhong, Situ Wanli—plus five experts like Tian Ci, Mei Sanniang, the Silent Slave, Bone Demon, and Mr. Jin.

The three of us against nine—there is absolutely no chance of winning.

How about we discuss things once more with Hall Master Tian Hu?

Have them open a path, and we stop here and make peace—what do you say?"

Hearing Gai Nie and Hearing Sheng Qi were silent.

The nine experts of the Farmer family were indeed not easy to deal with.

If it really were as Tian Mi said, it would naturally be best if Tian Hu could open a path.

If not, Hearing Gai Nie could only take action.

Seeing Hearing Gai Nie and Hearing Sheng Qi say nothing, Tian Mi anxiously looked toward Tian Hu and the others and said,

"Hall Master Tian, Young Lady, the great Qin army will arrive in the blink of an eye.

Relying on those green-skinned people alone, they certainly cannot hold back the great Qin cavalry.

Why not just follow Hero Gai's words and turn over a new leaf right now?"

"Idiot..."

Watching Tian Mi torn between sides, endlessly lobbying, Tian Hu could not help but fly into a rage and curse.

But Tian Yan spoke up once more, cutting off Tian Hu's tirade,

"Tian Mi, you know the Master's methods as well.

You know even better the Weapon War God he has come here to seek this time.

If the Master truly obtains the Weapon War God, there may yet be hope of winning a move against great Qin.

To betray in such haste now—would that not be fickle and half-hearted?

Whether it be great Qin or the Master, I fear neither would look kindly upon you."

"But, but..."

Tian Yan's eloquence was flawless; Tian Mi was merely a fickle woman—how could she compare?

Those perfectly reasonable words left Tian Mi stammering "but, but" for a long while without making any coherent point.

"Enough! Cut the nonsense. If you've got the guts, activate Earth Marsh Twenty-Four. Today I am determined to send Hearing Gai Nie in!"

The moment Hearing Sheng Qi raised Ju Que, his entire presence instantly became like a mountain wall.

He actually took the lead in provoking the Farmer family crowd.

Hearing Gai Nie did not wish to delay any longer either. As Tian Yan had said, that Weapon War God was clearly immensely powerful.

If Cheng Jiao were truly to have his way, setting aside the question of victory or defeat against great Qin,

countless innocent common folk of great Qin would surely suffer disaster.

Originally, out of regard for the acquaintance he shared with some of the Farmer family, he had wanted to help them, which was why he had spoken up to mediate.

Since the Farmer family leaders refused to see reason, he no longer intended to keep persuading them.

He drew the Yuan Hong sword at once, sidestepping to shield Tian Mi in front of him,

"Hall Master Tian Mi, no need to waste more words.

Go outside now, find Qin Huang Your Majesty, and report everything here.

I trust Your Majesty will have his own arrangements."

"But..."

Hearing Hearing Gai Nie's words, Tian Mi was first delighted.

Then, thinking of something, she said,

"Enough, stop being so wishy-washy. If you want to fight, stay and watch.

If you want to leave, then get lost quickly!

I can't wait any longer—come, let me experience the Farmer family's good brothers' array!"

Hearing Sheng Qi's fighting spirit was already soaring, yet he had been stalled again and again.

Now his battle intent had swelled to its peak; he could wait no longer.

After a round of cursing, he raised the Ju Que sword and charged in at the forefront.

That sword of his was like a mountain, like a peak.

Before the sword even arrived, its wind came rolling like an avalanche, sweeping toward the nine experts of the Farmer family.

"Arrogance!"

Seeing Hearing Sheng Qi within Earth Marsh Twenty-Four and still striking first,

Tian Hu was both annoyed and amused. He immediately raised the Hu Po sword in his hand and unleashed his signature swordsmanship.

Meeting Hearing Sheng Qi's ferociously powerful strike head-on, he charged upward against the momentum.

Yet in this charge, he did not activate Earth Marsh Twenty-Four in time.

Instead, he meant to rely on his own strength alone, under everyone's gaze, to defeat Hearing Sheng Qi.

After all, during their time at Shanzhuang, not only had Tian Ci's strength broken through,

Tian Hu and the others had also gained quite a few benefits.

In Tian Hu's view, he was confident enough to receive Hearing Sheng Qi's strike.

Then, as long as Tian Yan seized the moment and activated Earth Marsh Twenty-Four,

Hearing Sheng Qi would be worn down to death within this great array.

Boom!

The two experts of the Farmer Sect clashed head-on in their very first move, without any flourish.

Tian Hu's cultivation was also primarily of the fierce and forceful type.

But after clashing with Hearing Sheng Qi's Juque, he felt instead that the force he had sent out was actually bounced back in its entirety.

There was only one possibility for such a situation.

That meant Hearing Sheng Qi's fierce and forceful power was far above his own!

"How could this be!"

Feeling the already overwhelming sword Qi, and now with his own sword Qi added in, for a moment it surged like terrifying waves.

Tian Hu was so startled his eyeballs nearly popped out, and he almost forgot to dodge.

938 If you enter the formation, it would be no different from sending yourself to your death.

"Hall Master!"

At the critical moment, the three great experts under Hall Master Tian Hu—Mr. Jin, Bone Demon, and Mute Slave—saw the danger.

After a great shout, the three of them charged forward together.

Mr. Jin was a sword Dao expert, his swordsmanship erratic and unpredictable.

To save Tian Hu, he struck unexpectedly, piercing the weakest point of Hearing Sheng Qi's sword Qi.

His sword darted like a venomous snake, stabbing toward Hearing Sheng Qi's wrist.

Mute Slave and Bone Demon, however, braced themselves directly in front of Tian Hu.

They were battered by the surging sword Qi until they nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Hearing Sheng Qi's strength had actually improved considerably!

But with Mr. Jin's stab, Hearing Sheng Qi had no choice but to withdraw his sword Qi.

The massive Juque sword, now light as nothing, was actually flipped and lifted by Hearing Sheng Qi.

Not only did he dodge Mr. Jin's fierce strike, he even rode the momentum to slash horizontally toward Mr. Jin's waist.

If Ruoshi Sect were to land this strike solidly, even though Mr. Jin's cultivation was no small matter, he would likely be severely wounded.

"Good!"

Mr. Jin's eyes lit up, and he praised loudly.

That single shout, however, caused Hearing Sheng Qi a moment of distraction.

He only felt that the voice seemed somewhat familiar.

Therefore, that vicious sword strike naturally slowed by half a measure.

In just that half-measure's time, Mr. Jin escaped unscathed, withdrawing in the nick of time from Hearing Sheng Qi's attack range.

Together with Mute Slave and Bone Demon, they brought Tian Hu back down.
