Chapter 2119: Chapter 2156: Take Action Immediately

"Bang!"

Their thinking was still too naive. The Second Elder had just rushed over, attempting an ambush, but was countered by the Tie Family Great Elder with a backhand smash, instantly sent flying, and his blood-soaked left shoulder rendered useless in an instant!

"How fierce?"

Ding Fan, who was charging towards the Tie Family Great Elder, was startled. The Second Elder had taken quite a bit of medicine pill that enhanced cultivation power, making his realm nearly comparable to the Divine Realm Third Level, yet before the Tie Family Great Elder, not even one move could withstand, and if Ding Fan rushed up like this, he might be stabbed to death by the elder’s long spear!

Looking at the formidable Tie Family Great Elder, Ding Fan hesitated. The Second Elder was knocked down easily; his reaction speed was much slower than the Second Elder, and the consequence of rushing up would certainly be being knocked down. He might even die at the hands of the Tie Family Great Elder.

However, after just a moment’s hesitation, Ding Fan charged up again. Now, the situation of the Skeleton Sect was very bad, but Ding Fan never thought of abandoning them.

He knew he was tied to the Skeleton Sect people; without the Skeleton Sect, he would be like a child without a home, finding it very difficult to survive at Tianmu Sea. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He was very comfortable in the Skeleton Sect; no one dared to provoke him. He helped the Skeleton Sect earn much Black Obsidian, and they bought him endless medicine pill resources, providing a quiet and comfortable environment for his cultivation, something he couldn’t find elsewhere.

He seriously considered fleeing and pledging allegiance to Madam Yan, but he didn’t trust her. Sirius Elder probably had enemies in the Northern Wastelands, and if that enemy was Master Daozhen from the Herr Family, then he’d be doomed. Besides, the better Madam Yan treated him, the more uncomfortable he felt, instinctively wanting to distance himself from her.

Therefore, he had no choice but to fight hard, reinforcements were arriving soon. If he didn’t rush up, the Tigertooth Ape couldn’t kill the Tie Family Great Elder. The battle might fail, Skeleton Sect defeated, and Ding Fan would be finished; the Tie Family wouldn’t spare him.

He quickly took out two medicine pills and swallowed them, then charged towards the Tie Family Great Elder like a Spirit Cat. The medicine pill dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth, and a surge of power filled his body, making him light, as fast as the wind.

"Bang!"

The Tie Family Great Elder’s golden spear smashed a nearby Tigertooth Ape flying, then swung at the left side of another Tigertooth Ape. Ding Fan rushed over, seeing the situation before him, his eyes lit up, and swung his Heaven Measuring Ruler with a gust of wind towards the Great Elder’s back.

"Hmm!"

The Tie Family Great Elder didn’t even look at Ding Fan, but seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. His body moved aside, and the long spear continued to hit the Tigertooth Ape, effortlessly knocking it away. The golden spear in his hand didn’t pause for a moment, drawing an arc as it attacked Ding Fan.

"What quick reflexes!"

Ding Fan thought he could hit the Tie Family Great Elder, yet it was easily dodged, the Heaven Measuring Ruler missing its target. The elder’s long spear had already swept over, too fast for him to escape.

Seeing himself about to be hit, thoughts rapidly surged in Ding Fan’s mind. Right now, he had two ideas; one to block with the Heaven Measuring Ruler, and the other to ignore the Tie Family Great Elder’s attack, directly attacking the elder with the Heaven Measuring Ruler and going down together.

"I’ll fight you!"

Ding Fan didn’t know the power of Divine Realm Third Level mid-stage, and the opponent’s speed was too fast; even if successfully blocked, Ding Fan would be hit by the Tie Family Great Elder’s subsequent attack.

Ding Fan, at this moment disregarding the Tie Family Great Elder’s attack, bit his teeth tightly, swung the Heaven Measuring Ruler desperately towards the elder’s body, choosing to risk it all, aiming to perish together with the Tie Family Great Elder.

"Hmm!"

The Tie Family Great Elder’s eyes showed a mocking expression. Ding Fan actually wants to fight with him, making him feel somewhat amused. He continued smashing his golden spear towards Ding Fan, believing the power of his spear could definitely hit Ding Fan at the moment Ding Fan struck him, surely killing Ding Fan here.

Could Ding Fan’s Heaven Measuring Ruler harm him? He was wearing top-grade armor; even standing still for Ding Fan to strike would likely be futile.

The Tie Family Great Elder felt somewhat excited, choosing to continue attacking Ding Fan, for Ding Fan controlled the Tigertooth Ape. As long as Ding Fan was killed, the Tigertooth Ape would lose control, and the battle would be won.

"Whoosh~~"

The golden spear transformed into phantoms, smashing towards Ding Fan, appearing to be about to hit Ding Fan’s head. Ding Fan wore battle armor, but nothing covered his head. If the Tie Family really hit him, he would surely be dead.

At this critical life and death moment, Ding Fan raised one hand, tilting his head to one side to dodge. He knew the bone of this arm would definitely break, but if the arm’s bone didn’t break, the head couldn’t be protected.

"Crack!"

"Bang!"

Ding Fan’s arm bone shattered on the spot, blood streamed down one arm. The massive golden spear hit the arm, giving his head a chance to move away. The golden spear heavily smashed onto his left shoulder, breaking the clavicle.

However, Ding Fan’s Heaven Measuring Ruler couldn’t be evaded by the Tie Family Great Elder, as the ruler came heavily down on the elder’s waist, transmitting an incredibly terrifying power. The Tie Family Great Elder’s eyes showed disbelief; he never expected Ding Fan, even in Divine Realm Second Level mid-stage, to possess such formidable power, spinning away.

"Boom~~"

Ding Fan and the Tie Family Great Elder almost flew out simultaneously, but their injuries were different; Ding Fan’s scapula was shattered while the Tie Family Great Elder’s waistbone was cracked, and internal organs were injured.

"Prepare to die, old dog from the Tie Family!"

The Second Elder saw the Great Elder of the Tie Family fall to the ground and charged forward with a furious roar. His body was half-covered in blood, yet he showed no fear of death as he rushed toward the Great Elder of the Tie Family, determined to end his life.

At the same time, several Tigertooth Apes that had been knocked away by the Great Elder of the Tie Family also charged in, attacking the Great Elder relentlessly.

"Boom~"

A loud noise echoed as the Great Elder of the Tie Family, although injured, seemed even fiercer than before. With a swift swipe of his Golden Spear, the Second Elder was struck again without even a chance to pause and was sent flying away once more.

"Screech~"

The Great Elder of the Tie Family let out a miserable scream. The Second Elder had merely used his body to attract his attention, and the true lethal strike came from the four Tigertooth Apes. It was clear that he had succeeded.

The sharp claws of those four Tigertooth Apes had already torn into the Great Elder of the Tie Family. His arms and legs were without armor, giving the four Tigertooth Apes the perfect opportunity to cripple him.

"Pfft~"

The Second Elder spat out a mouthful of blood but saw the crippled Great Elder of the Tie Family lying on the ground, wailing. Seeing this, Xi Jieye became elated and shouted to Ding Fan, "Ding Fan, you did great! Are your injuries serious?"

Ding Fan had also been knocked back, half his body covered in blood, and one of his arms had lost all feeling. Cold sweat dripped from his face, yet his spirit remained high. Looking at the Great Elder of the Tie Family rolling on the ground, he forced a slight smile and shouted to the Tigertooth Apes still attacking the Great Elder, "Go kill those two, no need to bother with this old man anymore."

At this point, the Great Elder was already a crippled man. If Tie Hualong and another elder of the Tie Family were killed, then even reinforcements arriving would be of no use.

However, the four Tigertooth Apes were all wounded by now, with one even having a broken leg. Yet, upon hearing Ding Fan’s command, they fearlessly charged toward Tie Hualong and the other elder. Tie Hualong and the Fourth Elder of the Tie Family were already overwhelmed, and now with these four Tigertooth Apes joining, their fate seemed sealed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Just then, teams of martial artists rushed over from a distance. It was clear that these martial artists belonged to three different powers, each wearing different styles and colors of battle armor, divided into three formations as they joined in.

"Three Divine Realm Third Level experts have arrived. What should we do now?"

Seeing the situation before her, Wu Qingxia’s face turned pale. She hadn’t expected the opponent to bring three experts of the Divine Realm Third Level at once, along with nearly a hundred experts of the Divine Realm Second Level. The Skeleton Sect’s martial artists were either injured or dead, how could they resist these people?

The three teams were clad in blue, purple, and white battle armors. The three leading experts of the Divine Realm surveyed the chaotic scene before them, eyes full of astonishment. Their intel had reported a battle between the Tie Family and a subordinate Second Grade Power, but they hadn’t anticipated such a brutal conflict.

"Tie Hualong, your Tie Family is really pathetic, letting your subordinates end up like this. How will you hold your head high in the future?"

The leader in the blue battle armor, a seemingly middle-aged man around forty, mocked Tie Hualong.

Within the three formations, some members of the Tie Family Island were present, including Tie Haijiao. He had been off the island earlier, searching for reinforcements.

The condescending tone in that man’s words angered Tie Haijiao, whose young master’s temper flared. He unhappily retorted, "Li Xiankong, it’s not like you’re helping for free. Who are you mocking there? Hurry and kill these people. Once they’re all dead, you’ll immediately receive what was promised."

Li Xiankong, hearing Tie Haijiao’s words, became displeased. With a cold chuckle, he retorted, "Tie Haijiao! Who do you think you are? Even your father wouldn’t dare speak to me like that. You’ve pissed off Elder Li today. I’m not going to help, so bite me if you can!"

Having said that, he waved his hand, halting the team by his side. The other two formations of martial artists also stopped, standing by to observe the unfolding situation.

Tie Hualong was fuming inside, thinking that Tie Haijiao’s stupidity could cost him his life at the claws of Tigertooth Apes.

"Brother Li, the child is young and ignorant. Please act quickly,"

Tie Hualong forced back the approaching Fourth Elder, then, in some disarray, knocked a Tigertooth Ape attacking him away before addressing Li Xiankong.

Li Xiankong laughed robustly before addressing Tie Hualong, "I could help, but the previous payment won’t do. Unless you double it, we’ll leave immediately."

"Yes, exactly, the payment must be doubled!"

"Exactly, if it’s not doubled, we’re out."

The leaders of the other two halted powers called out to Tie Hualong. Given the current situation, it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity to demand more benefits; all three powers seemed to share this sentiment.

They had come here for profit, having no ties with the Tie Family. With Tie Hualong on the verge of death, they would be foolish not to demand more benefits.

Tie Hualong was even angrier. When he was strong, he could ignore these guys, but now, as a tiger fallen to the plains, even these old dogs dared to challenge him.

Before he could respond, a Tigertooth Ape’s sharp claw tore into his arm, drawing a stream of blood, causing Tie Hualong to roar furiously, "Fine! Double it, get on with it now!"
