Chapter 74

"If you don't hand over the Heavenly Flame Token, everyone in the Tie family will die." Qi Zhong, with a grim face, crossed his arms and said.

"Let's fight if you want to fight." Tie Er Ye swung his long knife, his aura as imposing as a mountain, refusing to back down.

With such deep enmity, how could he take a step back?

If the Heavenly Flame Token fell into the hands of the Qi family, the Tie family would face an even greater threat.

"Attack!" Seeing Tie Er Ye's stubbornness, Qi Zhong's eyes darkened, and he immediately waved his hand, "Leave none alive."

"Yes!" The people of the Qi family, their eyes filled with sinister light, moved their hands, and the crossbows immediately fired.

These crossbows were made from the tendons and bones of demonic beasts, extremely powerful. When pulled by cultivators at the Xiantian stage, they could pierce through a cliff, and ordinary cultivators found it hard to resist. Only experts at the Zhenyuan stage could avoid being harmed.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Arrows pierced through the air, shooting towards the tents ahead, the sound of breaking air piercing the ears.

Seeing the dense arrows, the cultivators of the Tie family were terrified and quickly swung their ice blades to defend themselves.

Kill!

Tie Er Ye's eyes darkened, and he held his large knife, swinging it in the air. A powerful Zhenyuan energy surged out, like a river of knives stirring in the sky. The arrows were all sucked in and turned to dust, the aura of the Zhenyuan stage shocking everyone.

Galaxy Sweeps the Sky!

Tie Er Ye swung his large knife and charged forward. The blade glow surged like a long river, instantly sending several cultivators of the Qi family flying. Under this violent force, they spat blood and were almost helpless.

"Kill!" The eyes of Qi Zhong and his brother darkened, and they attacked Tie Er Ye together.

The two brothers each held an iron fork, and one held a mace, all of which were coated with deadly poison.

These ice blades were mystic weapons, incredibly sharp, cutting through stone like wood, only slightly inferior to spirit-level magical weapons.

Both were experts at the Zhenyuan stage, one at the late stage and the other at the early stage.

Tie Er Ye was also at the late Zhenyuan stage, nearing perfection.

However, with the two of them attacking, he immediately had no time to deal with others.

Bang!

When experts at the Zhenyuan stage attacked, the blade glow was shocking, like a rainbow piercing the sun or a wind sweeping away the clouds. Wherever it passed, boulders turned to dust, and the violent fluctuations were unstoppable, forcing the Xiantian cultivators to quickly avoid, not daring to face the sharp edge. If these fluctuations spread, they could cause serious injuries.

The people of the Tie family and the Qi family all retreated.

However, the people of the Qi family were approaching the tents, shooting arrows, and several people were severely injured immediately.

Ah!

Cries of pain echoed continuously. Some people, hit by arrows, felt their limbs weaken, poisoned, and became unable to move, then were hit by more arrows. In just a moment, two people died from the arrows, and the cultivators of the Tie family felt fear.

Previously, they had lost over a dozen people, including a Zhenyuan expert who died while covering the retreat.

"Quick, form a circle, back to back, and defend against the arrows together." An elder of the Tie family shouted.

Immediately, everyone formed a circle, swinging their ice blades to defend against the arrows, which slightly alleviated the situation.

But even so, some people were still injured.

Ah!

Someone was hit by an arrow, black blood flowing from their arm, turning it blue.

Ah!

Another person was hit, their throat pierced.

The people of the Tie family were all at the Xiantian stage, not weak, but they could not fully defend against the continuous and precise arrows. Various martial arts, no matter how powerful, could be easily broken by the strong arrows, after all, the attackers were also Xiantian cultivators.

On the other side, Qi Zhong moved his hand and threw an iron ball, which was immediately hit by Tie Er Ye.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed, black mist spreading, and a poisonous gas immediately spread out.

"This is poison mist!" Tie Er Ye's eyes darkened, and he quickly held his breath.

"Haha, this is a deadly poison refined from the poison sac of a Black Tortoise Python." Qi Zhong grinned, "I'll see how long you can last. Once this poison enters your body, even a Zhenyuan expert can't expel it. Hehe, this time your Tie family will surely lose."

"How did your Qi family become proficient in poison refining?" Tie Er Ye's Zhenyuan energy surged, completely protecting himself from the poison mist. He stared at the Qi brothers with a serious expression, thinking they might have an antidote.

"You can ask in hell." The Qi brothers grinned and attacked Tie Er Ye together.

While defending against the poison, Tie Er Ye had to deal with the attacks of two Zhenyuan experts, making him struggle.

A moment later, Tie Er Ye was hit by a powerful force, narrowly avoiding being struck by the iron fork.

Thud, thud!

He retreated, his blood surging, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Tie family was in a dire situation, and the Qi family, having finished shooting arrows, charged at the crowd.

Cries of pain echoed continuously, and inside the tent, Miss Tie San was full of worry.

"Sir, is my poison cured?"

"Can we stop for a moment? I need to save my clan members." Miss Tie San was anxious, and from the cries outside, it was easy to imagine the crisis her clan members were facing, making her restless and eager to fight.

"Almost done." Xiao Yun was also serious, accelerating the process of removing the poison.

Whoosh!

Several arrows shot through the tent, aiming at the two on the bed.

"Be careful!" An arrow aimed at Xiao Yun's head, making Miss Tie San panic.

Xiao Yun, however, remained calm. He waved his left hand, and a wave of energy with purple flames immediately incinerated the incoming arrows. Then, he moved his hand, and the purple flames dissipated, everything seeming calm and peaceful.

"What kind of technique is this?" Miss Tie San was stunned, her beautiful eyes wide open, looking at the young man with a strange expression. It was too powerful; just a flick of his hand with a purple glow incinerated such a fierce arrow.

"Is he a Xiantian cultivator?" Miss Tie San was puzzled, "Was that hot aura a flame?"

She felt that this young man had become unfathomable.

Each time arrows came, the young man seemed to have anticipated them, dealing with them calmly, which was surprising.

Whoosh, whoosh!

More arrows shot over.

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, showing a hint of disgust. He suddenly stood up, moved his hands, and slapped forward.

Bang!

Purple light flashed, and the arrows were immediately deflected.

"Am I cured?" Miss Tie San was first stunned, then asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yun said, "Your poison has been completely removed."

As he spoke, Xiao Yun released his soul power and frowned when he sensed the situation outside.

At this moment, Miss Tie San had already dressed and was about to leave the tent.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yun grabbed the girl.

"I'm going to save my clan members." Miss Tie San, tall and graceful, her beautiful eyes filled with anxiety and determination, said to the young man holding her, and tried to step out.

"You want to save them?" Xiao Yun did not let go of the girl's hand, "Going out now is suicide."

"Even if I die, I can't watch my clan members fall one by one in front of me." Miss Tie San said resolutely, her eyes misty with tears, the cries of her clan members making her heart bleed.

"Stay here, I'll help you." Seeing the girl's deep affection for her clan, Xiao Yun was moved and said, "Since I'm in the Tie family's tent, it's not easy to stay out of this."

"You?" Miss Tie San was surprised, not expecting the young man to offer help.

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded, "Just stay here."

"But the Qi family is overwhelming. Can you change the situation?" Miss Tie San was worried, as a member of the Tie clan, she would fight to the death with her clan, but Xiao Yun, a stranger, didn't have to.

In this situation, it was already hard for him not to harm her.

So, she was worried about Xiao Yun and didn't want him to get involved.

"Don't worry, I can handle them." Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on his lips, looking calm, but his eyes showed confidence, which reduced Miss Tie San's worry.

"Can you really do it?" Miss Tie San asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yun didn't say more, moved his hand, and pushed the tent aside, stepping out.

Whoosh!

Two arrows shot over, fierce and powerful.

But Xiao Yun almost didn't even look, moving his hand and deflecting them with ease.

With his powerful soul perception, the trajectory and speed of the arrows were all under his control.

What seemed incredibly fast to others was slow as a snail to Xiao Yun.

He could easily deflect the arrows.

After deflecting a few arrows, Xiao Yun stepped out and appeared on the battlefield.

At this moment, the Tie family was already in a dire situation, the Qi family's cultivators pressing forward, dividing into two formations, one engaging in close combat with the Tie family, and the other shooting from a distance, a nearly flawless combination.

Ah!

A young man was hit by an arrow, crying out in pain.

Tie Feng!

Xiao Yun's eyes turned, and he recognized the young man.

Without hesitation, he moved, weaving through the arrows like a dragon through flowers, and in an instant, appeared among the Tie family's cultivators.

"Xiao Yun, why are you here?" Seeing Xiao Yun, everyone was surprised, "What about Miss Tie San?"

More people were concerned about Miss Tie San's safety.

"Miss Tie San is fine." Xiao Yun glanced at the injured Tie Feng and said, "Take care of him."

Then, he took a step, his eyes focused, and joined the battle.

"This boy is going to fight?" Tie Feng and some injured young men were stunned.

But the next moment, everyone's eyes lit up, "He's so powerful?"

They saw the young man join the battle, approaching a member of the Qi family. The opponent, who was originally fierce, suddenly looked dazed, and then Xiao Yun moved his hand and killed him with a single strike. The bizarre scene left everyone stunned.

"Where did this boy come from?" Two members of the Qi family were furious and attacked Xiao Yun.

Die!

Xiao Yun didn't say more and attacked directly. Since he was on the Tie family's side, the Qi family wouldn't hold back.

The current situation was a matter of life and death, and there was nothing more to say.

As the word "die" was uttered, a vast wave of soul power surged from the young man's mind, like a flood breaking through a dam.
