Yang Xiao didn’t have time to ask further before the door was pounded, evidently the delay had caused suspicion among the Dharma Sect experts outside.
"Be wary of the one-armed fellow, this person is specifically appointed by the Dharma King to guard me, aside from the City Lord, he’s nearly unbeatable in Bangshu City."
The masked elder whispered a warning, "His severed arm will be replaced by a Ghost Limb, contaminating opponents’ Magic Artifacts."
"Take this with you, consume it in emergency times, it can offer you some assistance."
Following the elder’s guidance, Yang Xiao found a coarse sack in the iron sedan, inside of which were two black medicine pills, emitting a unique scent much like the Life-extending Ointment.
The door knocking grew urgent, Yang Xiao knew he couldn’t delay any longer, so he grabbed the box containing the Magic Artifact. As the door opened, he saw the one-armed expert standing outside, while Tai Wenqin stood like a Gate God with his back facing him.
The one-armed elder looked displeased, but Tai Wenqin did not yield in the slightest, "Boss Zhou and this young brother are guests after all, sir, your actions are somewhat excessive."
Yang Xiao realized Tai Wenqin had bought him time, feeling grateful in his heart, but the show must go on. Before the one-armed elder could question, Yang Xiao took the initiative: ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Push, push for what? There’s an issue with the Magic Artifact in your hands, you must provide an explanation!"
Having said that, he didn’t wait for the elder to react, called Tai Wenqin together to go towards Professor Cui, while the one-armed elder kept his eyes fixed on Yang Xiao’s back and the next second, went into the stone house to check on the imprisoned old man.
"These people are going to kill someone, prepare to act." Yang Xiao conveyed the message to Tai Wenqin in a low voice.
Not counting those ambushed in the woods, just out in the open were three Dharma Sect experts: the one-armed elder and the woman with a mole were Ghost-level Apostles, Elder Basong’s spiritual power was similar to Yang Xiao’s, both at Half-step Ghost Level.
The enemy was strong and they were weak, to have a chance, they had to strike first.
At this moment the one-armed elder was absent, it was a good opportunity, as Elder Basong followed up, Yang Xiao feigned an unstable grip, the box he held fell, and nearby Elder Basong instinctively bent down to catch it, but just as he lowered his head, he was struck on the back of his head.
Yang Xiao reversed grip pulling out the Human Bone Staff for a hit, unfortunately, the accumulated power time was too short, only causing Elder Basong to be disoriented for a moment, but that was already enough for Yang Xiao.
Elder Basong screamed and retreated, Yang Xiao stepped forward swiftly, raising the Ghost Bamboo Stick in hand like a spear stabbing forward, piercing through Elder Basong in one strike.
Blood and flesh exploded from the chest, along with the translator following Basong, both perished.
This scene took place in an instant, most of the Magic Disciples were still stunned, yet someone moved, it was the woman with a mole hiding among many disciples, she pushed aside two disciples blocking her front and charged towards Yang Xiao like a bull.
The two disciples knocked to the ground were instantly silent, a layer of white frost mysteriously appeared on their bodies.
At this moment, a figure blocked Yang Xiao, Tai Wenqin tore off his clothes, revealing a vest with leather straps, the vest looked quite old, the leather was severely worn.
"Watch out!" Yang Xiao shouted a warning.
But Tai Wenqin seemed not to hear, being hit head-on by the Magic Teaching Woman in the chest.
The next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded, Tai Wenqin stood unmoving like a wall, while the charging woman was repelled, simultaneously, that strange vest wrapped around the woman.
Yang Xiao sensed the woman’s spiritual power seemed suppressed, immediately declining greatly.
At this moment, numerous Magic Disciples swarmed up, but soon another "Yang Xiao" appeared behind them, holding a black strange stone, bizarre light surfaced on the stone, dozens of uncanny energies exploded among the crowd, catching them off guard, resulting in heavy casualties among the disciples.
Yang Xiao didn’t bother with these small fries, his focus was on the Magic Teaching Woman as he swung the staff, she tried to dodge, but after several attempts failed, was struck in the chest with a staff.
Just as Yang Xiao charged ahead, planning to kill the woman in one surge, he keenly sensed danger, instead retreating, calling back the Mirror Ghost to block in front, a dark ray shot out, directly severing a Mirror Ghost’s arm at the elbow.
The Mirror Ghost swung its knife forward, forcing out a figure, it was the one-armed elder, this old fox was insidious, hiding silently here, watching as his men were massacred. If Yang Xiao had taken one more step forward, he’d have run straight into the elder’s sword tip.
Yang Xiao’s original plan was to first unexpectedly eliminate Basong and the Magic Teaching Woman, then two against one to handle the one-armed elder, at least severely injure him, so even if experts hidden in the woods emerged, they would have a fighting chance.
But now it wasn’t viable, the opponent’s actual combat strength lost only the weakest Basong, the Magic Teaching Woman was merely restricted by the Magic Artifact, plus they’ve tied up their strongest, Tai Wenqin.
What surprised Yang Xiao was after all this fighting, the woods remained extremely quiet, not a single person emerged, seemingly intending to watch and then swoop in to reap benefits.
This was certainly advantageous for Yang Xiao’s side at present, they were two against two, today there was still hope.
"I’ll keep him at bay, you go kill that woman!" Yang Xiao ordered Tai Wenqin.
This was Dharma Sect’s territory, the longer it dragged, the more disadvantageous for them, they must fight swiftly and decisively.
With Tai Wenqin’s strength, he should swiftly eliminate the already injured and restricted woman.
