Chapter 554: Chapter 339: Slaughter in the Downpour (Part 2)

Tian Yixin did not flee.

Although Zhao Ya made it clear that if one encounters an unbeatable enemy, they must first ensure their own safety, even if it means running away, it’s not a big deal.

But Tian Yixin had already sent out a distress signal, and someone should be arriving soon.

Moreover, if he just leaves like this, Luo Congkuan and others could easily disrupt Zhao Ya’s arrangements.

So he decided to hold on a bit longer.

Facing the aggressive North Canglong Elder, Tian Yixin showcased all he had learned in his life, moving unpredictably, doing his utmost to stall for time.

At the same time, the other disciples also joined in, working together to deal with this person.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength was still too vast.

No matter how many of them attacked this North Canglong Elder, they not only failed to gain the upper hand, but were also forced to retreat repeatedly by him.

Luo Congkuan stood at a distance, watching coldly.

In his view, someone like Tian Yixin wasn’t worth his effort.

At this moment, a cold shout suddenly came from afar.

"Luo Congkuan, you’ve really regressed over the years."

With the voice, several figures rushed into the scene with incredible speed, and one of them struck the North Canglong Elder pursuing Tian Yixin, forcing him back.

Upon recognizing who it was, Luo Congkuan’s heart sank slightly, "Qin Jianji!"

Indeed, the newcomer was Tian Yixin’s master, Qin Jianji.

Upon seeing his master arrive, the tension in Tian Yixin’s heart finally eased.

"Master!"

Qin Jianji looked at his beloved disciple with a bit of heartache.

"How are you?"

"No problem, just some minor internal injuries, nothing to worry about."

"Alright, you step back and rest, leave the rest to me."

With that, Qin Jianji lifted his head and looked coldly at Luo Congkuan across from him.

"Luo Congkuan, though we belong to different factions, I respected you as a man before, but now I see I was wrong about you. Not only are you colluding with the people of Separation Tower, you also attack the younger generation. You’re truly despicable."

"Haha, first the disciple, now the master, not bad at all." Luo Congkuan sneered indifferently, then stared intently at Qin Jianji.

"There’s no use saying more now, let’s see the real skills under the hands, let me see how much you’ve improved over the years."

With that, Luo Congkuan directly charged at Qin Jianji.

Qin Jianji did not show weakness, charging as well.

Simultaneously, the elders who came with him also began fighting with Luo Congkuan’s people.

A chaotic battle ensued.

And it wasn’t just here; with the large-scale invasion of Separation Tower and North Canglong, the previously peaceful mountain forest was now filled with smoke and the sounds of fighting, which even the dense curtain of rain couldn’t conceal, carrying far and wide.

Wu Bao’Er felt very uncomfortable.

Despite doing her utmost to rush along the way, she still couldn’t shake off Steel Shadow.

This man was like a relentless leech, following her closely.

Sometimes she could even clearly hear Steel Shadow’s heavy breathing and feel the air blowing onto the skin of her neck.

The feeling was simply terrible.

But she didn’t dare to say anything, because this Steel Shadow was too formidable.

Even after some recuperation and strength recovery, she was still no match for him.

She could only grit her teeth and keep diving deeper into the mountains and forests.

At this moment, the battle began.

Wu Bao’Er soon encountered people from South Canglong.

According to her original intention, she would quietly bypass them.

After all, these people were insignificant, the main focus now was to eliminate Zhao Ya.

But Steel Shadow didn’t think so.

As soon as he saw people from South Canglong, his eyes turned red with excitement, and he charged at them wielding his Steel Claw.

The ones blocking Wu Bao’Er and Steel Shadow were elders from the Martial Arts Hall lineage.

This incident was quite serious, so even these elders of the Martial Arts Hall, who had their own grievances, chose to set aside their prejudices for now and cooperate sincerely.

But as they say, the true test comes in real practice, and differences became apparent once again.

The elders of the Martial Arts Hall craftily chose the most secluded spot.

This displeased many, like Shen Yunshen, who thought these elders were self-preserving cowards, forgetting duty for petty gains, and essentially useless.

But Zhao Ya didn’t say anything, directly agreeing to their request and assigning them to this spot to guard.

No one anticipated that someone would actually come.

Wu Bao’Er wanted to shake off Steel Shadow and avoid potential blocks, so she chose this most secluded path to sneak in.

As a result, they faced off against the opponents here.

Watching Steel Shadow charging at them with his Steel Claw, the elders couldn’t help but stir slightly.

The reason was simply the intense aura of death around Steel Shadow.

No one knew how many people he had killed to accumulate such a fierce aura, but obviously, this Steel Shadow was anything but ordinary.

But the situation had reached this point, they could only brace themselves and confront him.

Boom!

A loud bang rang as soon as they met, and then a scream was heard as a Martial Arts Hall elder was brutally sent flying.

Immediately after, Steel Shadow swung his Steel Claw with such ease that he alone forced these elders to retreat repeatedly.

Wu Bao’Er stood on a distant tree observing the battlefield situation.

Even knowing Steel Shadow’s strength, witnessing it firsthand still left Wu Bao’Er shaken.

Because not only was he incredibly formidable in combat, but he also went berserk the instant blood was drawn.
