Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 108 : Southern sea battle took a drastic turn. The old man steps in

Wang Baozhai came to an abrupt halt, her footsteps faltering as she heard Liu Fu's urgent scream.

Her gaze pivoted towards the brutal and deadly carnage unfolding in the distance, and her entire frame trembled.

She had recognized the ruthlessness of the Barren Land soldiers.

Liu Fu may have only spoken of destroying the Celestial Heavenly Sect, but their fate had already been sealed, leading to their gruesome demise.

If she were alone, fear would have driven her to flee for her life.

However, with the old man and his men at her side, her confidence in rescuing Liu Fu and the others remained unwavering.

Yet, she grappled with a moral contemplation.

What if more powerful adversaries lurked in the city?

But the temptation of her arch-rival willingly relinquishing his claim to the heir's position was too alluring.

The potential consequences for her and her clan were significant.

Her clan would hold sole dominion over the Crimson Jade Pavilion for the next decade.

In Baiyun City, their authority and power would go unchallenged.

"What do you think?" she asked the old man, her voice quivering with doubt.

"I don't know, but I suggest you save them. It would be in your best interests and that of your clan," the old man replied thoughtfully.

"I agree," Wang Baozhai nodded. "Save them, and let us leave this forsaken land."

She had long lost the desire for revenge and solving the mystery of the Spirit Comms.

All she yearned for now was to pass the problems into her father's capable hands.

The old man's expression remained unchanged as he heard Wang Baozhai's command. He raised his hand, signaling to his men on the seemingly ordinary pirate ship.

About a dozen ordinary-looking men leaped down from the ship, forming a line behind the old man, waiting for his orders.

"Save the young master and miss," the old man instructed, pausing as he observed the ruthless slaughter committed by Zimo and his men.

Then, with a cold determination, he added, "Kill all the soldiers."

With that command, the seemingly ordinary men dashed towards the battlefield, unsheathing their weapons.

Their auras underwent a stark transformation, turning into ruthless killing intent.

The killers' eyes revealed their experience, honed through hundreds of battles.

Liu Fu, Cheng Hong, and the few survivors breathed sighs of relief as they witnessed Wang Baozhai send her men into action.

Even Zimo remained undeterred, issuing his orders.

"Star formation."

Immediately, the soldiers responded, splitting into three teams, and another round of bloodshed began.

This time, the killing spree reached new levels, leaving Liu Fu and the others in utter shock.

Wang Baozhai and the old man were stupefied. Where were they learning such a bizarre battle tactic? Inwardly, they cried out with disbelief.

"Die!"

The arrival of the seemingly ordinary men changed the tide of the battle. The soldiers shifted their focus from the young masters to the new threat.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

The ordinary men, skilled assassins from the Wang clan, needed only a few seconds to pinpoint vulnerabilities in the soldiers' defenses. They exploited weak points and exposed areas in the soldiers' armor, and as a result, miserable screams grew louder along the seashore.

The ordinary men displayed no mercy, beheading the soldiers ruthlessly. Liu Fu and Cheng Hong's faces beamed with satisfaction as they successfully retreated from the soldiers' clutches.

"Don't forget, when I return to the clan, I'll advise my father to mobilize all our forces to obliterate you!" Cheng Hong declared, her voice laced with vindictive hatred.

"Indeed, I will advise my father also," Liu Fu added, his deep-seated animosity for the Barren Land evident in his words.

Zimo fought two ordinary men, and while the cries of his dying men surrounded him, he maintained an unchanging expression. However, the vulnerability he had initially displayed due to the vast experience and tactics of the assassins was gradually disappearing. His upgraded Metal Bone Construct armor was meticulously crafted by Su Yen with minimal weak spots, which was not apparent in his defense.

As the two men facing him realized they were losing their advantage, they exchanged subtle glances and nodded. They attempted to apply pressure with their best techniques, hoping Zimo would make a mistake, but their efforts seemed futile.

Wang Baozhai and the old man, who had initially observed the battle with confidence, now bore uncertain expressions. The ease with which the ordinary men had exploited the soldiers' weaknesses began to fade over time.

Just as the battle reached a deadlock, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the distance. Wang Baozhai and everyone turned their heads to see the new arrivals.

"Initially, we wanted to give you a swift death, but now we've changed our minds," Huang Guo's voice rang out as he led two thousand soldiers onto the scene. Among them, one hundred elite soldiers donned Bronze Metal Armor, their overwhelming aura momentarily freezing the ongoing battle.

Zimo noticed the arrival of the new troops, and a knowing smile curled on his lips. "You shouldn't have killed our men," he shook his head. "With their arrival, you should forget about leaving," he declared, his voice filled with pride.

"Parallel Star Formation Tactic," Huang Guo shouted.

The term sent shivers down the spines of all the outlanders.

The smiles of relief disappeared from their faces, replaced by panic and fear.

Liu Fu, Cheng Hong, and the others turned their attention to Wang Baozhai, and specifically to the old man.

"I think it is time to stretch this old bone of mine for a bit." The old man said, stretching his body.

The old man, a Foundation Building realm expert, prepared to step into the battle.

His frail appearance concealed the power of his Foundation Building realm, and under this formidable aura, Liu Fu and the others regained a sense of relief.

It was a rare sight to encounter a Foundation Building realm expert in their city, therefore they didn't think the Barren Land would have a Foundation Building realm stage expert, but their relief was short-lived.

A cold, chilling voice resonated from the depths of Jade City, sending shockwaves through the battlefield.

"Bring the old man to me, after cutting off his leg and arm."
