Chapter 93: Calculating to Kill a Formidable Foe

Chapter 93: Calculating to Kill a Formidable Foe

The situation was dire; if the opposing force were to completely cross the river, they would be no match for them.

Wang Hong, seizing the opportunity, charged into the group of Beast Spirit Sect cultivators. In just a few rounds, he stabbed a cultivator through, snatched his Storage Bag in passing.

Meanwhile, Wang Hong's Spirit Bee had crawled onto the Young Cultivator, starting to bite all over his body.

Although the venom of the Green-tailed Spirit Bees wasn't extremely potent, the pain they caused far exceeded the Poisonous Bees Wang Hong later cultivated.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

The Young Cultivator let out painful cries, but soon he dared not scream anymore. Whenever he opened his mouth, the Spirit Bee would dart inside.

The Poisonous Bees lacked repellent abilities. At this moment, while Ancient Jade emitted a glow, Wang Hong decided to recall them and join the attack on other cultivators.

At this point, the young man, enduring intense pain, took out a talisman made of beast skin. After activating it, it transformed into a fire dragon, flying towards Wang Yi.

A second-tier Fire Dragon Talisman, equivalent to an attack from a Foundation Building cultivator, was nearly unstoppable within the Qi Cultivation period.

Seeing the fire dragon approaching, Wang Yi spat out essence blood, and his Flying Sword shone even brighter, swiftly flying toward the fire dragon.

"Boom!"

The Flying Sword collided with the fire dragon, making a loud noise, then disappeared, weakening the fire dragon only by a fraction.

Wang Yi lost his Flying Sword and resorted to finger sword techniques, shooting sword energy at the fire dragon. However, it proved ineffective, as the fire dragon closed in.

Typically, sword cultivators only possessed one Flying Sword. Before use, it needed blood refinement and constant nourishment with their own Spiritual Energy to imbue it with spirituality and align it with the cultivator's intentions.

Of course, the effects were not very apparent in the Qi Cultivation period and required reaching Foundation Building or even Golden Core stages to manifest significantly.

At this moment, Wang Hong swiftly intervened, standing in front of his younger brother and kicking the young man away.

Wang Hong wondered why his brother, who was quite clever in his childhood, seemed to have become foolish as he grew older.

In reality, before entering the secret realm, Wang Yi had been practicing in the sect and had little combat experience. He had barely engaged in sparring with fellow disciples before entering the central region. Facing formidable opponents and gaining combat experience was a rare occurrence for him.

No one is born with innate knowledge; growth comes with experience. Talent only represents the aptitude for cultivation, and seclusion cannot substitute practical experience.

Having joined the military at a young age, Wang Hong had undergone countless battles, despite the significant changes in combat styles. The essence of battle remained unchanged.

After kicking Wang Yi away, Wang Hong observed as the fire dragon approached. In haste, he could only summon the Wooden Plaque Spiritual Weapon. However, before the defensive barrier could fully activate, the fire dragon swallowed him.

Wang Yi, thrown several yards away, witnessed the fire dragon engulfing Wang Hong. Eyes ablaze, he rushed towards the young cultivator.

The Beast Spirit Sect cultivator, writhing in pain but determined, took out a second-tier talisman, ready to activate it.

Just then, Wang Hong, covered in black smoke, emerged from the flames and witnessed the scene.

"Run! Everyone, cross the river, go back to the other side!" Wang Hong shouted loudly while tossing a flying magical weapon to Wang Yi.

His purpose in killing a Beast Spirit Sect cultivator earlier was to seize this flying magical weapon.

Now, if they crossed the river back to the other side, he wanted to see how the Beast Spirit Sect cultivators would pursue them.

Wang Yi understood the urgency of the situation. Without much thought, he controlled the Flying Boat, flying to where his Elder Brother and the others were battling.

The four of them were already heavily injured. Although they had used Spirit Wine to restore their Spiritual Energy, their combat strength had still decreased. They had just lost another fellow disciple, leaving only three of them now.

However, on the opposing side, the original six members had been reduced to three. Wang Hong had killed one, the Poisonous Bees had claimed another, and Elder Brother had taken out the third.

Wang Yi wielded his finger as a sword, sending out sword energy, but its power was considerably diminished. Standing on the flying magical weapon, he protected Elder Brother and the others as they piloted the Flying Boat to escape to the other side.

Back to Wang Hong's side, after escaping from under the Fire Dragon Talisman, he was burnt and smoked, his defensive Spiritual Weapon destroyed due to incomplete activation. Nevertheless, he considered himself fortunate to escape with his life.

Upon seeing the young man taking out another second-tier talisman, Wang Hong, without hesitation, summoned the Windsoar Boat and flew across the river to the other side.

By the time the young man activated the second-tier talisman, Wang Hong had already distanced himself by twenty yards using the Dragon Serpent Escape technique.

When the second-tier talisman finally caught up to Wang Hong, his Spiritual Energy was nearly depleted. He threw a handful of first-tier talismans, dispersing the pursuer.

When Wang Hong reached the other side of the river, he collapsed, having already sustained injuries while protecting others, and narrowly avoided being burned to a crisp by a second-tier Talisman.

On the opposite bank, the group of Beast Spirit Sect cultivators had just swum across when their opponents, piloting a flying magical weapon, returned to the other side of the river above their heads. Did they really intend to swim back again?

However, the Beast Spirit Sect cultivators had more pressing concerns. Their leader, Senior Brother Qi, was currently rolling on the ground, bitten all over by Spirit Bees.

If something happened to Senior Brother Qi, they couldn't afford the consequences. His father was a Golden Core cultivator, and so was his grandfather. With such a powerful background within the Beast Spirit Sect, currying favor with them could yield significant benefits. Conversely, dealing with a few Qi Cultivation disciples like them would be a simple matter.

Once Wang Hong left, the Spirit Bees lost control, and most of them flew away from Senior Brother Qi.

Several Beast Spirit Sect cultivators rushed over to help drive away the Spirit Bees. While the venom might not be highly potent individually, a large number could still be deadly.

After chasing away the Spirit Bees, Senior Brother Qi was left with only half of his life.

"Chase! Chase them down! If we don't crush them, I swear I won't rest."

Though Senior Brother Qi had only half of his life left, he had never suffered such a grievous loss before. He couldn't accept it.

The remaining disciples hurriedly reached the riverbank. However, they only had one flying magical weapon left, and Senior Brother Qi's spiritual beast had been bitten to the brink of death by Spirit Bees.

Helplessly, three of them sat on the flying magical weapon, while the rest had no choice but to swim across.

Although Wang Hong was injured and lying on the ground, his consciousness remained clear. He took some healing elixirs and sat up.

"Junior Brother Wang, I owe you my life for your great favor."

Elder Brother, covered in blood, had been in battle for a long time before encountering Wang Hong.

"Junior Brother Wang, what should we do next?" After expressing gratitude to Wang Hong, Elder Brother and the others turned to him, clearly acknowledging him as their leader.

"Let's stay on this side of the bank. At least here, we have a slight advantage. Everyone, use this time to recover from your injuries. If the enemy comes over, we'll cross the river again."

If they ran elsewhere, the enemy would likely follow, and given their current injuries, escaping might not be guaranteed.

While nursing his injuries, Wang Hong retrieved a high-quality golden Flying Sword from his Storage Bag and handed it to Wang Yi. He also took out many first-tier talismans and gave them to Wang Yi. In this critical situation, Wang Yi no longer rejected using talismans.

At this moment, the three remaining Beast Spirit Sect cultivators on the Flying Boat had crossed the river. Wang Hong released Poisonous Bees again, attacking one cultivator, while the others surrounded the remaining two.

In just a few moments, the three Beast Spirit Sect cultivators were slain. They had intended to come early to hinder the opponents and prevent them from using magical weapons to escape. However, they had not anticipated losing their lives in such a short time.

Meanwhile, the Beast Spirit Sect cultivators who had just swum to the center of the river were still contemplating. Once they left the secret realm, their first priority would be obtaining a flying magical weapon. Today's battle had been frustrating.

Since the beginning of the fight, they had been swimming in the water, not even touching the opponents' fur. However, as soon as they swam to the riverbank, they saw their opponents flying back to the other side using magical weapons.

The Beast Spirit Sect cultivators were furious, feeling as if they were being mocked.

"If you're not going to fight, why did you stand there in a row, looking ready for a decisive battle? Were you planning to wait for us to finish the entire swim?"

Fine, let's swim back.

Wang Hong and the others quickly flew to the other side. Senior Brother Qi was still here, nursing his injuries. He didn't expect that when being chased, they would turn around and launch a counterattack.

Now, he was the only injured person on their side, while the other disciples were still swimming in the water.

Without saying much, Wang Hong directly activated a second-tier talisman, of which he had obtained several for self-defense.

The remaining disciples each summoned their magical weapons and attacked Senior Brother Qi. In a series of thunderous sounds, the radiant light around Senior Brother Qi finally dissipated.

Seeing this opportunity, Wang Hong's Poisonous Bees swarmed Senior Brother Qi.

At the same time, Senior Brother Qi activated another second-tier talisman and aimed it at Wang Hong. He harbored the deepest hatred for Wang Hong and was determined to kill him even if it cost him his life.

When the fire dragon, formed by the second-tier talisman, flew towards Wang Hong, Wang Hong, Wang Yi, Elder Brother, and the other two each produced dozens of first-tier talismans, hurling them at the incoming fire dragon. fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲π₯.πšŒπ—Όπš–

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The talismans collided in mid-air, creating a tremendous noise. Simultaneously, Wang Hong's Poisonous Bees covered Senior Brother Qi's entire body. After a few breaths, Senior Brother Qi had no breath left.

Wang Hong walked over, took off Senior Brother Qi's Storage Bag, and then used a flame to reduce the body to ashes.

At this time, the Beast Spirit Sect cultivators who had just swum to the center of the river saw this scene. No longer daring to pursue, they turned around and swam back.

Now, Wang Hong and his group were also at their weakest. Seeing that the enemy no longer pursued, they quickly left together.
