Chapter 437: Falling into A Disadvantage

"These scoundrels are all Spirit Blood Sect cultivators! Everyone, don't hide or run anymore. If we don't kill them, we'll all be turned into pills!"

"Kill them! Killing them is the only way to survive!"

"Die, scum!"

The Fang Family’s disciples charged through the streets, and with their roars, the bewildered onlookers finally snapped out of their daze.

Spirit Blood Sect?! The Spirit Blood Sect wants to turn them into pills?!

The various cultivators who had originally planned to stay out of trouble and observe the situation showed expressions of shock and anger. They took out their treasures and rushed toward the nearest enemies.

"Dad, you said you could see Fortune Qi. Take a look, where is it? Perhaps your old eyes are failing you?"Li Daoye teased as he fought alongside Big Eyed Li and Elder Mingjing.

"Shut up! If I can't get out of here today, you'll die here too. Crush these scoundrels for me!" Big Eyed Li shouted angrily as he slashed his sword at a Qi Refining Realm cultivator who was attempting to sneak attack him.

"Damn it, my eyes really are failing me. Where is the great fortune here? Let's go find big brother and fourth brother. It's always safer around them!"

"I can't avoid disaster after all. Facing off against the Spirit Blood Sect..." Elder Mingjing muttered to himself as he fought. Eventually, he clenched his, his eyes turning red. Not fighting meant that his fate was sealed, but fighting gave them a chance at survival!

He refused to believe that the Spirit Blood Sect could keep Grand Qian trapped for long. There would surely be Nascent Soul Realm experts who would learn of this and come to intervene!

By now, the hunting ground was already stained red with blood.

Cultivators of various realms that ranged from Qi Refining Realms to Golden Core Realms continued to battle it out relentlessly. In the midst of fighting, some of the Golden Core Realm cultivators uncovered their identities as Spirit Blood Sect cultivators.

Without surprise, they were the people planted by Immortal Void Rush. However, the situation tipped and became one-sided, making it difficult for everyone to distinguish friend from foe. There were people who even killed their own companions in the heat of battle.

Immortal Tianwu suffered heavy injuries that way and took shelter behind Fang Tingjian and others to heal. Even so, Fang Tingjian and the others didn't completely leave their backs to him. While protecting him, they could only rely on him to use his skills to fend off the occasional flying swords that came their way.

That was one of the advantages of Spirit Blood Sect cultivators; they didn't have to worry about attacks from their own allies, which left the other cultivators somewhat at a loss.

As Golden Core Realm cultivators and Foundation Building Realm cultivators fell one after another, Fang Tingjian and the others were forced into a corner. Among the Golden Core Realm cultivators on their side who were still alive, there were barely over twenty left, while there were around fifty to sixty left on the Spirit Blood Sect's side.

In that onslaught, the Spirit Blood Sect had completely gained the upper hand with negligible casualties!

"Everyone, if we continue like this, we'll all be finished," said Grand Qian Empire’s ancestor as he stared gravely at the Spirit Blood Sect’s Golden Core Realm cultivators who were closing in step by step.

"Daoist Qian, do you have a plan? Doesn't the Grand Qian’s Imperial City have defensive formations? Why not activate them to resist the enemy?" asked a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Qian Wuji bitterly smiled and said, "I tried activating the defensive formation earlier but found that it had already malfunctioned. It seems that the formation's core has been taken away."

"Damn Spirit Blood Sect, they really have infiltrated every crack and crevice. This time, they are fully prepared to not only kill us but also those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!"

"Once that happens, the entire Grand Qian’s Imperial City will be turned into a giant furnace, and we will become their fuel!"

The crowd fell silent, their expressions revealing a hint of fear. Even Golden Core Realm cultivators were afraid of death! If they weren't, why would they cultivate immortality?

Princess Shenlong's eyes flashed with determination. "Uncle, let's fight them to the death!"

"Even though they have two grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivators on their side, it won't be easy for them to suppress us in a short amount of time."

Wu Tianji sighed inwardly. "It's our only choice now. I hope those three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can come help soon. If they are defeated, today may very well be our end."

Their words made the Foundation Building Realm cultivators behind them turn extremely pale. Fang Ao and his wife were also among them and were searching anxiously for Fang Yun. When they discovered that she wasn’t nearby, they let out a sigh of relief inside.

"Junior brother, are you alright?"

Yan Ruyue crouched beside Zhang Xiaoke. When she that Zhang Xiaoke's face was pale and that he was vomiting blood continuously, she instinctively looked toward the woman dressed as a peasant.

Unfortunately, the woman dressed as a peasant woman was busy at the moment as she was locked in combat with the Foundation Building Realm cultivator who had just inflicted serious injuries on Zhang Xiaoke.

"Sister, don't worry... I-I won't die. With the lord here, we'll be fine soon," Zhang Xiaoke said as he forced a smile.

"Given the situation... I'm afraid even your lord may not be able to turn the tide," said Yan Ruyue, her voice trembling slightly. She had never seen such a chaotic scene before.

With Nascent Souls Realm cultivators trapped and Golden Core Realm cultivators under sudden attack, what was once an orderly imperial city had turned into a battleground. Spirit Blood Sect cultivators continuously launched surprise attacks, causing widespread slaughter….

Just then, both of them heard a muffled groan coming from the woman dressed as a peasant. She had taken a few steps back, retreating to their side. A new figure had appeared in front of her. That person was also at the Foundation Building Realm and had just joined forces with another cultivator to severely injure her.

The woman dressed as a peasant stared fiercely at the two Foundation Building Realm cultivators. "We have no grudge or enmity, so why must you be so ruthless!"

The two of them chuckled lightly as a hint of mockery appeared on their faces. "Blame yourselves for coming here."

As they were about to make their move, the seemingly quiet old mother hen in the woman dressed as a peasant woman's hands suddenly let out a phoenix cry. A burst of golden light erupted from the old hen's body, transforming into a giant Fire Phoenix several dozen feet long. It charged toward the two Foundation Building Realm cultivators.

“Peak second-rank Spirit Beast?”

The two Foundation Building Realm cultivators were slightly taken aback, their expressions becoming extremely serious.

Peak second-rank spirit beasts corresponded to the grand completion stage of the Foundation Building Realm. They didn't expect the spirit beast in her hands to be of such high rank!

The woman dressed as a peasant woman reminded, "Sect Leader, you should be more careful. Once we kill these two, we should retreat. We must not linger in battle!"

Yan Ruyue and Zhang Xiaoke were dumbfounded.

"Sect Leader?!"

Could it be true? Was this old mother hen the sect leader of the Spirit Beast Valley?

The aura emanating from the Fire Phoenix was terrifying, and the two Foundation Building Realm cultivators realized at once glance that they were no match for it, and intended to escape first before reconsidering their options.

A flash of sword light struck the Fire Phoenix unexpectedly, and in an instant, the phoenix let out a mournful cry as its right wing was severed. It tumbled from the sky and transformed back into the appearance of an old hen, looking rather battered.

The person who arrived was a Golden Core Realm cultivator. Seeing the situation, the two Spirit Blood Sect Foundation Building Realm cultivators grew excited.

The Gold Core Realm cultivator spoke indifferently."The hunting ground is ready. You all, cooperate with us next and start the pill-refining process."

He then shifted his gaze to the woman dressed as a peasant woman.

The two Spirit Blood Sect Foundation Building Realm cultivators were ecstatic.

"A Golden Core Realm cultivator from our sect is ready to act! Excellent! Today's situation is set!"

With the cooperation of a Golden Core Realm cultivator, they could easily refine the entire imperial city within a day!

That thought had just emerged when suddenly another flash of sword light arrived. The Golden Core Realm cultivator didn't even have time to turn around before he was split in half by the sword light.
