Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 310 - 167: Ancient God, Aid Me!
His good brother Xi Bai has made something of himself.
I’ve heard that he is now the most valued disciple of the patriarch. Back then, there were five of them, all beggars and refugees. Xi Bai was the youngest and had the chance to enter the patriarch’s Martial Arts Academy,
and now he has soared to great heights.
Tonight, Xi Bai did not engage in cultivation; he waited for their reunion.
He was excited.
He was happy for Xi Bai and himself.
Walking as if drunk, swaying and stumbling. The uncovered oil lamp flickered like a ghostly flame about to extinguish at any moment.
As he turned into an alley,
suddenly, a hand reached out, emblazoned with mysterious patterns, resembling a Fierce Ghost.
Pssh~!
The hand, as sharp as a dagger, pierced directly into his chest.
Blood...
gushed out.
Lou Fa’s eyes widened, looking incredulously at the withdrawing hand from his body...
His body collapsed, convulsing...
He could clearly feel his life force draining away, not much time left.
Yet, the hot blood of Yongzhou men surged within him at this moment. He looked at the doors of Xi Bai’s home, a mere alley away.
Using his last ounce of strength, his organs ruptured, flesh exploded.
"Barbarian dogs are here!!"
The sound of countless dogs barking responded.
Almost instantly, the hidden barbarians in the city began their attack, as if their targets had long been predetermined, swift and merciless!
...
Despite the city’s five prominent families treating Xie Jingde with the utmost hospitality, Xie Jingde knew his purpose.
In his heart, he looked down upon these small clans of the county. Such hospitality was but the tip of the iceberg in his life experience.
He didn’t care.
"Miss Yanran says you’ve assembled six hundred people, at least a Ninth-Grade army?"
Master Mo stepped forward and spoke, "The patriarch directs us, in formations of three or five, Eighth Grade as squad leaders, Seventh Grade for street patrols, we Innate experts guard the three streets. Since yesterday, day and night, the whole Chiyao County is like a fortress..."
Xie Jingde, uninterested in Master Mo’s bragging, was about to speak.
When suddenly, countless dog barks echoed from the night sky.
Followed by the clash of weapons and the shrill cries of "Barbarian dogs are here" echoing far in the night sky.
Xie Jingde turned and rushed toward the source of the commotion.
Crimson Flame Sect Leader Xu Fang’s eyes flickered, exchanged glances with everyone, and almost instinctively formed a plan.
He got up and chased after.
Before leaving, he grabbed a disciple and said.
"Go find the patriarch. If we die in battle, follow the patriarch and leave."
"Sect Leader, you..."
"We Yongzhou men, how can we fear the barbarians?"
...
Xu Guang looked at the Beast God Species beads, pulsating in his hand, a subtle expression on his face.
His Divine Thought spread out, seeing Lou Fa lying in a pool of blood, seeing Xie Jingde leading several Innate Experts into the battle circle.
Watching barbarians fall, watching Chiyao County martial artists fall. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Finally, he perceived a deeper recognition of Qingzhou’s people.
Chiyao County’s five families and one sect were not close, even before his arrival, they constantly schemed against each other.
But...
He saw representatives of those five families charging into the fray, all with a look of sacrifice.
He even saw Cao Xiu, tightly embraced by a beautiful woman, their child, no bigger than a bean, trying to draw their sword against the barbarians.
A hard-to-describe sense of fervor surged in his heart.
Outside, someone knocked wildly at the door.
"Patriarch! Patriarch!"
Xu Guang recognized him as Xu Fang’s attendant disciple.
"Patriarch, crisis in the city, the Sect Leader told me to inform you. If things can’t be resolved, please retreat and take the sect members to regroup and start anew!"
Pausing, taking a step back, kneeling, kowtowing.
"Red Flame Sect entrusts this to the patriarch."
After saying that, without looking at Xu Guang, he turned and left.
Xu Guang didn’t need to ask; he knew where this young disciple was going.
He chuckled.
The initial hot-blooded feeling turned into a laugh.
Him?
Retreat?
He gradually unleashed his Divine Thought. The Martial Master’s Might enveloped the city as if it were the heavens, aligning with the Innate Qi circulating within.
In an instant, thousands of barbarians seemed frozen under the crushing force of heaven and earth.
Splack!
A long blade fell.
Barbarian heads rolled.
Mo Han from the Mo Family was surprised. This barbarian, equal in strength, suddenly...lost movement?
Xu Guang saw this and nodded in satisfaction.
Warriors have their honor, but innocents should not perish.
However, just two Fifth-Grade barbarians cannot be suppressed by the Martial Master’s Might from dozens of miles away.
He stepped out of the Martial Arts Academy; peace surrounded it.
In fact, it wasn’t empty; rather, many congregated there, dense as ants.
All silent.
Cao Xiu had also been brought here by his mother, likely as this was the safest place in Chiyao County.
He saw Xu Guang, struggling out of his mother’s embrace, covered in dirt, holding a bowl of water and a piece of beast meat.
"Master Xu, are you going to kill the barbarian dogs? Eat meat and drink water!"
At almost the same time, all eyes focused on him.
Xu Guang patted the back of the youngster’s head, took the bowl, and drank it down.
Putting down the bowl, he spoke softly.
"Sleep; tomorrow you’ll be home."
He then walked outside.
