Free Web NovelChapter 1282: Chapter 1268: Chaotic Battle
Deep within the Wuzi Forest.
In a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, an Exotic Beast was trapped in the center of the valley, constantly roaring.
There were flashes of light on the ground.
This Exotic Beast was trapped in the center of an Array, with four thick iron chains wrapped around its limbs, rendering it immobile.
A few members of the Du Family stood nearby, frowning.
"This Moon Rock Beast is probably difficult to tame. I didn’t expect it to be so unruly. It must have been fed many Elixirs by the Star Shining Sect, so it has developed this untamable wildness. What a pity. If we could tame it, this Moon Rock Beast would definitely be of use to our Du Family."
"It’s said that the Moon Rock Beasts of the Star Shining Sect can swallow the essence of moonlight every night and condense a Moonlight Bead. Whoever consumes the Moonlight Bead can see their Cultivation improve by leaps and bounds. It’s indeed a rare Exotic Beast in the world. The Star Shining Sect managed to grow to its current size because they can cultivate this Moon Rock Beast."
The few members of the Du Family sighed on the side.
If we can’t tame this Moon Rock Beast, then we can only do the Star Shining Sect a favor and give it to them.
At this moment.
The Moon Rock Beast suddenly caught a whiff of a peculiar scent in the air, and its crimson eyes became wild. Moonlight erupted from its body, exuding an extremely terrifying pressure.
"What’s happening?"
An Elder of the Du Family exclaimed.
"I don’t know, this Moon Rock Beast is going berserk, quickly, activate the Array to suppress it." Another person yelled.
Immediately, several experts from the Du Family activated their True Qi, injecting it into the Array, trying to suppress this raging Moon Rock Beast.
However.
As they made their move, the Moon Rock Beast became even more ferocious, breaking several chains and charging at the surrounding members of the Du Family.
In an instant.
The moonlight transformed into sharp Sword Qi, piercing through several Du Family members’ bodies in seconds, leaving their corpses sprawled on the ground, completely silent.
Seeing this, the remaining Du Family members lost the will to fight, swiftly retreating and distancing themselves from the area. They had realized that the Moon Rock Beast was in a berserk state, and approaching it meant certain death.
As they retreated.
The Moon Rock Beast broke free from its restraints and charged directly toward the crowd. The beast had completely lost its mind, and nobody wanted to confront it at this moment.
Only.
As the Du Family members kept retreating and dodging, several black-clad figures suddenly emerged from behind them, attacking them.
Crack!
Sword Qi crisscrossed.
The Du Family members were instantly thrown into chaos by this group of black-clad attackers, losing helmets and armor, suffering heavy casualties.
After a fierce battle.
Most of the Du Family members were dead or severely injured, with the remaining few carrying severe injuries, some even exposing their internal organs, looking utterly terrifying.
"Who... who are you? Daring to kill in the Du Family, aren’t you afraid of the Qingyang Dynasty’s retaliation!"
"Our Du Family is part of the Qingyang Dynasty..."
Before he could finish, the black-clad figure immediately ended the lives of the remaining Du Family members with one swift strike.
The scent of Blood Qi filled the air.
Observing the situation around them, the black-clad figures applied some gas to their bodies and retreated swiftly, distancing themselves from the berserk Moon Rock Beast.
At this time.
Du Zilong hurriedly arrived with a group and witnessed the scene of carnage, with blood flowing everywhere, a downright human tragedy.
"The Moon Rock Beast has escaped, others have been here, be on alert, everyone stay on alert!"
Du Zilong shouted angrily.
Instantly.
The Du Family members formed a Grand Array, defending each other and keeping watch on all directions.
Du Zilong exhaled deeply.
Only then did he begin to take note of the surroundings.
The Moon Rock Beast had broken free from the Array and disappeared completely from this valley. Judging by the injuries, many must have been killed by this monster.
Apart from the damage caused by this monster.
The others died from knife wounds. Du Zilong examined these knife wounds carefully, furrowing his brow deeply: "This has the wild swordsmanship of the Beijiang region, but this is the Zhongyuan, how could there be people from Beijiang here, and why would they attack the Du Family..."
Du Zilong was puzzled.
However.
This was not of great importance now. Since the attack just happened, the opponent must not have left the area yet. Du Zilong needed to focus on the current challenge.
He took a deep breath and looked around.
At this moment.
A flash of a blade appeared.
Du Zilong stepped aside, extending a palm, and with a boom, the charging Sword Qi was instantly crushed by his palm strike.
He advanced with agile steps.
Confronting a black-clad Swordsman face to face, he struck out with both palms, throwing two Flood Dragon-like palm strikes at the black-clad figure.
This double palm strike, capable of pulverizing an ordinary person.
However, on the black-clad figure, it made a sound of metal clashing. The black clothes were torn apart, revealing a menacing set of Iron Armor underneath.
"The Qi Returning Armor of the Demon Blade Sect, you’re from Beijiang’s Demon Blade Sect!"
Du Zilong’s eyes turned cold, his entire being bursting with aura, True Qi surging, and he clasped his hands before his chest: "Bright Qi Technique - Covering Heaven and Earth!"
In the blink of an eye.
The air around him seemed to be drained as he delivered a palm strike that shattered the ground beneath.
Snap.
The Qi Returning Armor on the Demon Blade Sect member was shattered into countless iron shards by this palm strike, sending the individual flying like a rag doll.
Du Zilong’s face was flushed red.
Evidently, the palm strike had exhausted all his True Qi.
However, Du Zilong hadn’t anticipated that after shattering the Protective Armor of the Demon Blade Sect member, several more members of the Demon Blade Sect would emerge from the shadows.
Judging by their attire.
Almost all wore Qi Returning Armor, something that only a Swordsman at the Wan Rens Level within the Demon Blade Sect could possess.
Dealing with one was already taxing.
Du Zilong felt a sinking feeling, realizing that today might be a grim outcome.
He slowly retreated, staying with the other Du Family members, providing mutual cover, thus being able to mount a desperate counterattack.
At this moment.
Bai Changqiu led his men and charged over. Upon seeing the Demon Blade Sect people, Bai Changqiu nearly instantly understood the entire situation.
The Demon Blade Sect was likely trying to use the matter of the Moon Rock Beast to spark animosity between the Star Shining Sect and the Du Family.
With so many Du Family members killed.
If the Demon Blade Sect members wiped out all witnesses here and disposed of the bodies, the Du Family would likely clash with the Star Shining Sect.
Bai Changqiu quickly grasped these possibilities, so he hesitated not for a moment; a sword hidden in a box flew out, drawing a sharp trajectory in the sky.
Instantly, Sword Qi crisscrossed.
The Demon Blade Sect members had to split up to resist Bai Changqiu’s attack.
Seeing Bai Changqiu making a move, Du Zilong also knew this was their only chance, raising all his aura to unleash his full strength, striking at a Demon Blade Sect member in front of him.
