Chapter 55

Yitian sped through dozens of feet, the Jinlin Sword enveloped in scorching, destructive sword energy, slicing through space and slashing towards the giant god.

"Roar!"

The giant god swung the meteor hammer in his hand, his body surging with true qi, causing the meteor hammer to emit a hazy luster, carrying terrifying power to meet Yitian's sword.

Clang...

Yitian's sword struck the meteor hammer, sparks flying everywhere. The powerful collision caused ripples in the nearby void, the scorching yang true qi making the giant god sweat profusely, his hair and skin almost burned by the terrifying heat, turning black and charred.

Yitian was also forced to retreat rapidly by the giant god's terrifying strength, his palm almost split open with blood.

Battle!

Yitian's fighting spirit surged.

In the next moment, his figure moved like lightning, attacking the giant god again.

A fierce battle erupted between the two. The scorching yang true qi was extremely powerful, making it unbearable for ordinary martial artists within a dozen feet, as if they had fallen into a furnace.

Even ninth-rank martial artists could not withstand the burning of the yang true qi for long.

However, the giant god's physique was incredibly strong. Under the burning of Yitian's yang true qi, he showed little weakness. Even though his hair turned to ashes and his skin turned red, his combat power remained unaffected, his vitality still formidable and terrifying.

Yitian, who was fighting the giant god, could not help but be amazed by his powerful physique.

After all, even though he had always used pure yang true qi to temper his body like a weapon, making it increasingly strong, he still fell short compared to this little giant.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Yitian and the giant god's battle made no one dare to approach within dozens of feet.

Yitian, with his initial eighth-rank cultivation, fought the giant god, who was at the late ninth-rank, without falling behind. This made the nearby tribal warriors, especially those familiar with Yitian, find it hard to believe.

If Yitian had killed the other side with archery, they could have accepted it, as their tribe's Divine Arrow Technique was extremely powerful, capable of killing martial artists one or two minor ranks higher with a single shot.

However, although their archery was extremely terrifying, in close combat, they were no different from ordinary martial artists.

Yitian was now fighting the late ninth-rank giant god, who was gifted, on equal terms, which was astonishing. After all, Yitian had not used any battle techniques, just relying on his thick true qi to fight the other side to a standstill.

Especially, the true qi Yitian unleashed was extremely scorching and domineering, as if it were heavenly fire burning.

Even the true qi of peak ninth-rank martial artists was not as fierce and powerful.

Yitian and the giant god of the Dark Skeleton Corps were fighting fiercely, but the three elders of the Wu family and the left and right protectors of the Black Dragon Society were terrified. In the blink of an eye, their combined forces of over ten thousand martial artists, more than two hundred high-rank martial artists, and eight ninth-rank strong ones had suffered heavy casualties, with almost all high-rank martial artists slaughtered and two ninth-rank strong ones dead.

The strength of the Yi tribe exceeded their imagination.

Thus, they suffered heavy losses, and even they were in danger of being killed.

Escape!

At this moment, they all tried their best to fight their way out.

However, the second, third, and other six elders of the tribe held them back, preventing their escape.

For enemies, the Yi tribe had only one word: kill.

In this world, being merciful to enemies was incredibly foolish.

"Ah!"

Finally, the fourth elder of the Wu family, Wu De, was killed by the combined efforts of two tribal elders.

With the death of one elder of the Wu family, the two elders joined other battle groups, tipping the balance. Even though the Wu family elder and the left and right protectors of the Black Dragon Society fought desperately and even used battle techniques, they could not turn the tide and were killed by several elders and other eighth-rank warriors.

Yitian's battle with the giant god also ended quickly.

Roar!

The giant god, who was fighting Yitian, twisted his body. In the next moment, under the scorching yang true qi, his body could no longer withstand it. Flames immediately burst from his body, turning him into a fireball, and soon into a pile of ashes, leaving behind a pair of heavily damaged, nearly ruined superior spirit weapons, the meteor hammer.

It turned out that the giant god was not immune to the damage from the yang true qi but had suppressed it. When it reached its limit, it immediately erupted.

All ninth-rank martial artists were annihilated.

With the loss of high-rank martial artists, the remaining forces of the Wu family, Black Dragon Society, and Dark Skeleton Corps quickly collapsed, suffering heavy casualties. Only a few hundred people managed to escape when they saw the situation was dire.

This battle lasted less than half an hour.

In this battle, the Yi tribe suffered 170 casualties, a significant loss. However, compared to the near total annihilation of the combined forces of the Wu family, Black Dragon Society, and Dark Skeleton Corps, it was enough to make them proud.

After the battle, the tribe learned from the captives the reason for their joint attack.

It turned out that they thought the Yi tribe had discovered some treasure, and out of greed, they wanted to destroy the tribe and divide the treasure.

Knowing the reason, the tribal leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

The news of discovering a large spirit vein had not leaked, which was a great fortune in misfortune.

At the same time, the recent changes in the tribe had finally attracted the attention of other forces, leading to the suspicion and scrutiny of the Wu family, Black Dragon Society, and Dark Skeleton Corps.

This made the entire tribe somewhat heavy-hearted.

After his battle with the giant god, Yitian reflected on his gains and losses in the fight.

In that battle, if his body had not been comprehensively tempered and greatly improved, he would not have been able to withstand the giant god's attacks, and his body would have collapsed.

Crack!

A table made of Lixiang wood was shattered by Wu Shigong's palm.

He received news from the returning family warriors that their combined forces of over ten thousand had been thoroughly defeated, suffering heavy casualties, and even three family elders had been killed, making his face pale.

This time, the forces they sent out from the Wu family were almost completely annihilated, which would be a significant blow to the Wu family, which had just recovered some of its strength.

"It seems I need to report to the Great Elder!"

Wu Shigong's face was grim.

He had strongly advocated for this action, which resulted in a heavy blow to the Wu family's strength. Once he reported to the Great Elder, he might lose his position as the head of the family.

The Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skeleton Corps also received this shocking news.

The three kings of the Black Dragon Society, who held high status, were also alarmed. Normally, the three kings would not appear unless there was something important, but this matter was too significant. The Black Dragon Society had lost two protectors and over five thousand members, a major blow.

The Dark Skeleton Corps, with Blood God and Ghost God not yet returned, was in a state of unrest.

The news of the three forces' joint attack on the Yi tribe and their heavy losses quickly spread to all major forces in Black Dragon City.

Initially, this action might not have attracted much attention, but once it erupted, it could not be hidden from other forces. The Wu family and others could not cover it up.

They wanted to create a fait accompli, destroy the Yi tribe, and divide the treasure. Even if other forces found out later, they could not take it from them.

But everything went against their wishes.

At the same time, other forces also learned from various sources that the Yi tribe might have discovered a treasure.

This news quickly spread throughout Black Dragon City, in every street and alley.

Everyone was discussing what treasure the Yi tribe had discovered, how much wealth and resources it contained.

As a result, the Yi tribe became the center of attention for all forces in Black Dragon City, even attracting the attention of some powerful, solitary high-rank martial artists.

The Yi tribe, at the center of the storm, showed no reaction.

They were located at the edge of the Fulong Mountains, a considerable distance from Black Dragon City and surrounding forces, which spared them a lot of trouble.

The old tribal leader Yi Du and the Great Elder secretly rejoiced.

Although the news of their treasure had spread, it was only within the range of Black Dragon City.

In this world, there was no shortage of news about the discovery of treasures, true and false, countless in number.

Some treasures that the major forces in Black Dragon City considered valuable might be like dung to the ancient families and ancient sects, not worth the effort, and even the thousand-year-old noble families in Jingmu County would not pay much attention.

Unless it was the ruins of ancient sects or the legacy of true powerhouses, which would shock the world, it would be difficult to attract the attention of forces outside Black Dragon City.
