Chapter 13: The Battle Ends
Zhang Lingyu reached out and recalled the magic sword, then turned to look at Zhang Lingyu. His elder brother nodded to him before rushing towards the other Ming family cultivators.
Taking this opportunity, he also began to observe the situation on the scene.
Apart from their group, which ended early, the others are evenly matched and are still locked in fierce battle.
Although everyone on the Zhang family side was injured, their morale soared after Zhang Lingyu joined the battle, causing the remaining members to retreat in defeat. Two of them were even ready to flee at any moment.
Meanwhile, on Zhang Yuanyi's side, since his cultivation had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, Ming Yichen, who was fighting against him, could only passively defend.
If it weren't for the resentment in his heart, he probably would have collapsed long ago.
As for Zhang Yuanming, there's not much to say. He and Ming Yixing are both at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and neither can do anything to the other in a short time.
It's safe to say that the winner and loser are quite clear now.
It's worth mentioning the duel between Lin Dahai and Qi Xing. The two are so familiar with each other that they are still locked in a stalemate.
With his thoughts returning to the present moment, Zhang Lingyu once again drew his magic sword and rejoined the melee.
......
"Zhang Yuanyi!"
In the center of the battlefield, Ming Yichen was covered in blood, his robes were tattered, and he was having difficulty circulating his magical power. He was clearly at his last gasp.
If it weren't for the protective soft armor hidden inside, he would probably have collapsed by now.
Even though he had no strength left to fight back, this member of the Ming family still used his magical weapon to kill Zhang Yuanyi in front of him.
But the opponent merely flicked his spear lightly, and his final attack was sent flying.
"The outcome is already decided."
The elder of the Zhang family plunged his spear deep into the man's chest, leaving no last words, only calmly saying:
"You can go see your brother now."
As Ming Yichen fell into a pool of blood, his face filled with resentment, Zhang Yuanyi finally turned his gaze to Ming Yixing, who was fighting Zhang Yuanming not far away.
When the latter noticed the gaze directed at him, a chill ran down his spine, and he was terrified: "If I don't run now, I'm really going to die here!"
The next second, he didn't even need the magic weapon anymore. He quickly shook off Zhang Yuanming, who was trying to entangle him, and immediately used his escape technique to flee into the distance.
To prevent himself from being too slow, he even blew up one of his arms!
As a thin mist of blood fell from the sky, the Ming family elder vanished in the blink of an eye.
Seeing how ruthless Ming Yixing was to himself, Zhang Yuanyi, who wanted to chase after her, stopped abruptly and said regretfully, "I never thought that old bastard was so cruel..."
"good."
Zhang Yuanming, who had carefully put away the magical artifact, also came closer and said:
"This old thing was cunning before. He didn't use his full strength when he fought me. I guess he was only thinking about running away after seeing your Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation."
"It's just that Ming Yichen didn't give the order, so he didn't dare to leave."
"Now that he has cut off his own arm, he can at least give an explanation when he goes back."
"That old bastard!"
Zhang Yuanyi sneered. If he wanted to catch up, he could, but he would need to use some kind of secret technique.
As the person in charge of escorting the spirit rice, and given the current precarious situation of the Zhang family, he, as a key combat force, could not afford to be injured at this critical juncture.
Zhang Yuanming stopped talking and quickly looked at the other Zhang family cultivators on the battlefield. With the addition of Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Lingyu, the Ming family cultivators had almost all been killed or wounded.
Only one person remained, still fighting desperately.
Seeing one of his elders dead and the other fleeing, the last Ming family cultivator instantly lost all resistance. His face turned ashen, and he hurriedly knelt down, begging for mercy: "Fellow Daoists, I surrender! Please spare my life!"
"Surrender or die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a spell shot from Zhang Lingbi in the distance, piercing through his chest in an instant, killing him instantly.
Just now, Zhang Lingbi fought fiercely with this Ming family cultivator for forty or fifty rounds, gradually falling into a disadvantageous position. If Zhang Lingyu hadn't come to his aid in time, he would probably be the one lying on the ground.
"good!"
"Truly worthy of being a son of the Zhang family."
A loud laugh came from afar, and the two old men arrived on the wind. Seeing that none of the Zhang family members had died, they couldn't help but shout "Good!" three more times.
Although the Zhang family members in front of them had all suffered injuries of varying degrees, their survival already proved their remarkable abilities.
Zhang Yuanyi looked at the group of people in front of him with satisfaction, and when he saw Zhang Lingyu, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Lingyu, you deserve the most credit for this battle."
"Lingyu dares not. It was Seventh Grandfather who killed the leader of the Ming family, causing the Ming family to lose morale, which allowed us to kill the enemy and make contributions."
"Alas, that is incorrect."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuanyi waved his hand and chuckled:
"Lingyu, you don't need to be modest. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many of us would be standing here alive today."
He was referring to the scouting work.
This investigation not only uncovered Lin Dahai, the inside man, but also weakened the Ming family's fighting strength.
Those present still felt a lingering fear when they thought back on it. If it weren't for Zhang Lingyu's insistence, at least half of them would have perished in the face of the sudden group spell.
Therefore, when Zhang Yuanyi said that Zhang Lingyu deserved the most credit, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Seventh Grandpa is right. We might not be able to survive without you. Just bear with it."
Zhang Lingyu patted the boy on the shoulder, and the others around him echoed her sentiment.
Yes, that's right.
"Nineteenth Brother, this greatest credit undoubtedly belongs to you!"
Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu couldn't refuse any longer, so she asked, "What should we do with Lin Dahai?"
"Of course, we killed them."
Before Zhang Yuanyi could speak, Zhang Yuanming spoke first. The old man, with a gloomy face, looked at Lin Dahai who was being escorted up and said, "Dahai, I really misjudged you."
If it weren't for their long-standing friendship, he wouldn't have agreed to the other party's request at that time.
But this very decision almost cost the Zhang family's fine young men their lives.
Knowing his death was imminent, Lin Dahai, kneeling on the ground, made no resistance. Qi Xing, standing to the side, had a complicated expression and dared not offer any advice.
......
Time was of the essence. After dealing with Lin Dahai, Zhang Yuanyi continued to instruct, "Quickly clean up the battlefield and bring back all the magical artifacts and storage bags."
"The injured should heal on the spot. Ming Yixing has run away, and members of the Ming family might arrive. Let's get out of the rocky forest as soon as possible!"
"As for their storage bags, they will be distributed when we arrive at the market."
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, everyone immediately sprang into action with excited expressions.
According to the Zhang family's rules, apart from handing over a portion of the spoils of war, everything else belongs to them.
Moreover, you can also earn a large number of contribution points.
Having killed one late-stage Qi Refining cultivator and several mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Ming family, everyone can already see the numerous rewards within reach.
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic appearance, Zhang Yuanyi chuckled:
"These kids!"
"Stop laughing. You stay here and protect them. I'm going to check on Lingdao. Let's set off as soon as possible."
Zhang Yuanming, standing to the side, looked grave. He was almost unharmed, but the spirit rice was still behind the chaotic rock forest, and he was worried that someone might rob him along the way.
"That's true, you should go quickly."
Zhang Yuanyi was equally worried. If another wave of cultivators like this came, the situation would be difficult to manage. He urged the crowd, "You little brats, you need to hurry up."
