Chapter 1516: Chapter Eighteen: The Counterattack of the Underdogs_2 Chapter 1516: Chapter Eighteen: The Counterattack of the Underdogs_2 Gu Han carefully sensed the message from the Peeper of Prophecy, and eventually, he addressed Wenren Yuanwu with these words.

“Then we wait.”

Cloaked in red, Wenren Yuanwu with drooping eyelids, spoke indifferently, “Wait until there’s no more movement from the Corpse Protector’s Peeper of Prophecy before making a move.”

The Corpse Monk and Bone Taoist, not understanding the situation, exchanged glances, and then they too quietly contemplated, observing their breath.

Down below, the battlefield slaughter continued, the bounty guild’s elites clad in superior spiritual armor facing the Tang Clan Martial Ancestors poisoned steeply, the advantage was naturally quite evident.

Battalions advancing in formation pressured the Tang Clan headquarters tremendously, any discerning person could see the Tang Clan had no means to spare the strength to protect their formation.

At this moment, the leaders of various branch clans stood up-all those who were capable of establishing their own households were the elite of the Tang Clan, it was just a pity that with affairs entangling them, most had become negligent after reaching the peak of their mortal transformations.

So much so that among the branch clan leaders, who averaged forty-five years of age, there were rarely any warriors from the Fierce Realm, but at this time.

Whether it was unity of spirit and intent or peak of mortal transformation, these branch clan leaders swung their rusty Spirit Arts and charged towards the approaching bounty guild elites.

Knowing they couldn’t penetrate the enemy’s armor with their Spirit Arts, branch clan leaders began to consolidate their joint attacks, but having been away from the Martial Hall for too long, with strangers instead of teammates at their sides, their hastily formed trios mostly couldn’t even synchronize their wave frequencies before scattering.

And then they gathered for another attempt, trying again.

Each branch clan leader seemed to view the brutal battlefield as the clan’s Martial Hall, repeatedly attempting to coordinate with their temporary teammates.

The ever-advancing bounty guild elites just laughed heartily, finding the idea of honing their skills on the battlefield as foolish as the stories suggested, never expecting to witness it firsthand.

Their mockery was piercing and heart-wrenching; the hundreds of Tang branch clan leaders suppressed their shame, gritted their teeth, and bowed their heads. Their Spirit Arts, clumsy in their convergence, gradually discovered the matching wave frequency.

Feeling the merging Spiritual Energy, the severely injured Martial Ancestor pushed away the medic and staggered to the frontline, locking onto the enemy forces that broke into the formation with his soul, he roared, “Wind Gale, Mountain-Breaking Slash!”

The gold-element Spiritual Power converged into a crescent slash that howled forth, turning into a hundred golden moons, cleaving towards the distant bounty guild elites.

The Yellow Rank combined attack of the Heavenly Pathway Technique: Wind Gale, the highest masterpiece from centuries of research by the Tang Secrets Pavilion of Xiling, with just three mortal-transformed fighters combining their attacks, could achieve a minimum spiritual injury of seventeen thousand and a maximum of forty-one thousand, an incredibly fierce combined attack.

A hundred golden wheels roared forth, as if a hundred Fierce Realm warriors had simultaneously struck, their golden moons covering the skies and dimming the sun, leaving the bounty guild elites utterly disoriented, with several at the forefront sliced into pieces.

Each strike, with over thirty thousand in spiritual injury, rendered the Spiritual Armor purchased at great expense by the Commerce Alliance from Xuanji Sect utterly useless, it also revitalized the Longxi Alliance’s morale which was on the verge of collapse.

When had the bounty guild elites ever encountered such ferocious combat Spirit Arts? For a moment, they were dumbfounded, repeatedly bested by the Tang Clan Martial Ancestors.

Nobody had expected that the turnaround of the battlefield would be the hands of those branch clan leaders whom the Tang Clan Martial Ancestors had always protected in formation.

These middle-aged men, who had neglected the martial path for who knows how long and started to grow bellies, were able to unleash such terrifying power!?

The originally clear-cut battle instantly became perplexing again, leaving Ye Qingcang highly unsatisfied, his emerald thumb ring almost cracked from his grip.

The three viewers from the Blood Tower above were taken aback; they too had not anticipated that these hundreds of helpless men, burdensome in the ranks like victims, could actually erupt thus, reversing the situation in battle.

Emboldened by the unlikely eruption of these “deadweights,” the Tang elites on the peak battlefield turned the tide, pressing back as if injected with adrenaline.

Especially Tang Baichuan, who, in a frenzied rush of attacks that shined like extremities of stars, forced the Pavilion Master of the enemy to continuously retreat, on the verge of claiming victory.

“Tower Master, it seems we might not even need to help; the Tang Clan may break through the encirclement of the Commerce Alliance on their own.”

Feng You said to Wenren Yuanwu with a wry smile, hidden in Longzhou for months, they had been waiting for just the right moment to recruit the Tang Clan, but given the current situation, the Tang Clan seemed to be fiercely over-consuming–if the Tang Clan really were to break out, their efforts would be like fetching water with a bamboo basket, all in vain.

“Keep watching.”

Wenren Yuanwu, with confidence in hand, spoke calmly, “The scales of battle are never tipped by one or two lucky outbursts.”

The previous ferocious attacks had caught the bounty guild off guard, but when they came to their senses, they realized the ‘deadweights’ were just that.

Having neglected the martial path for too long, just a few trials and one outburst were enough to leave the branch clan leaders breathless, with the more delicate among them even injuring their meridians.

A facade of being fierce when one was actually timid on the inside could scare ordinary people, but how could it deceive villains who had emerged from the darkest gutters?

New grudges and old hatred surged in their hearts, and the bloodthirsty faces of the bounty guild elites returned to the fray, with the poisoned Tang Clan Martial Ancestors unable to resist.

Finding their bluffs futile, the branch clan leaders hastily began the second round of combined attack convergence, but it seemed as if their luck had run out with the previous attempt.

*Pant* *Pant* After gathering for quite some time, in the end, only a dozen or so golden crescent moons were slashingly dispatched.

“The combat experience is just too poor…”

Corpse Monk Gu Han frowned, “If we had held back instead of striking, the bounty hunters would definitely hesitate to act, fearing they’d hit the mark. But now, using such old tactics, without the ability to strike a second time, they’ve truly become lambs to the slaughter. It seems I need to take action, otherwise just one invader from Fierce Realm could trigger a storm of slaughter!”

“Old Daoist will join you!”

After echoing that, Feng You, the Bone Taoist, was about to sacrifice the Bone of Eternal Destruction and join Corpse Monk Gu Han in formation.

“It’s not time yet.”

Wenren Yuanwu drew a curtain of blood to conceal the spiritual power of his two favored subordinates and stopped them, “Wait a little longer!”

“Monk doesn’t understand, what is Pavilion Master waiting for?”

Gu Han asked, puzzled.

“Waiting for you.”

Wenren Yuanwu said indifferently, “Wait for the alarm from your Peeper of Prophecy to disappear, that will be our opportunity to strike.”

“But if we don’t act now…”

Gu Han hesitated, because he had already seen a bounty hunter employing a technique to travel underground, fearing that the next time he appeared, the seemingly elite squadron of the Tang family could be hit hard at its core.

Having seen the spectacle of a hundred golden wheels, Gu Han had grown fond of this band of miracle-creating weaklings and couldn’t bear to see them slaughtered.

“Wait!”

Wenren Yuanwu uttered one final time before returning to his contemplative silence with drooping eyelids.

And the Corpse Protector, exchanging glances, also dissipated their eagerness to deploy their spiritual power.

Just as Gu Han had predicted, the bounty hunter wielding dual blades and using the technique to travel underground appeared within the ranks of the Tang family’s branch master.

With the rotation of the blades came hundreds of sharp slices blossoming forth, the scattered light from the blades cutting through the center’s warriors like a sickle through rice, severing them into pieces.

The bounty hunter, who took the utmost pleasure in tormenting the weak, cackled loudly, dancing madly with his blades as he plunged into the fray. The branch masters, long unused to battle, were no match for him.

By the time the Tang family’s elite Martial Ancestors arrived to help, there were already dozens more corpses on the ground.

The blood-soaked bounty hunter roared with laughter as he began the fight with the enraged Tang Clan Martial Ancestors.

Corpse Monk Gu Han, who had been watching the whole battle, showed a look of unbearable sorrow. Ever since his Buddhist bones had been reconstructed with the fine white-gold flames, he had grown increasingly averse to killing.

But after decades of following, Gu Han understood that Wenren Yuanwu was not one for reckless actions. Even with doubts in his heart, he was willing to first follow the Pavilion Master’s orders.

And with the situation developing as it had, he understood Wenren Yuanwu’s deeper intentions. As it turned out, the danger indicated by the Peeper of Prophecy came from these “burdens” of the Tang family.

After the frenzied hunter had slain dozens, the danger warning from the Peeper of Prophecy had dropped a level.

Corpse Monk Gu Han finally understood what the Wenren Pavilion Master was waiting for.

He wanted the Bounty Guild to carry out as much slaughter as possible; the Ancient Blood Tower only needed to rescue those of the Tang family who were burdened with deep-blooded hatred, not those who were merely burdens!

Void Realm

The Blood God World, dragging the Demon King Mansion, swirled through the chaos, its thick blood-red tendrils continuously severed by the fierce winds and then repaired by the blood sea.

Although it had already been bound within the rules of the Blood God World, the Blood God sovereign still hadn’t given up on communicating with the spirit of the Demon King Mansion.

He continuously sent out his twelve followers along the tendrils to the Demon King Mansion’s underground palace to converse with the realm stone.

“Fox, I see a passage up ahead, we’re about to return to the mainland, once we’re back in Xiehe, I’ll definitely be able to awaken you, definitely!”
