Several booms rang out from within Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu. The situation on the field grew even more severe.
Having broken through to the mid-stage Innate Realm by using the Five Viscera Ascension Technique, they had both seen a marked increase in strength. Not to ntion Chen Qingyu, who stood beside them and seed to wield a high-level combat skill. With the three of them assaulting him and his Divine Stone's protection gone, Shi Chenghou was in grave peril, liable to be struck by a sudden attack at any mont.
During the fight, Shi Chenghou also noticed sothing peculiar about the white bones in their hands. They appeared to be extraordinary weapons capable of transmitting qi and blood. He dared not confront them directly and was therefore at a disadvantage.
The three attackers' killing intent was palpable; each of their moves and strikes were aid at his head and heart. After several exchanges, panic and dread crept into Shi Chenghou’s mind.
Am I really going to die here today?
Shi Chenghou managed to keep his cool. As he dodged the strikes of the three attackers, he continued to search for an opening he could use to break free.
As they struggled, a sound ca from the distance.
"Clan Brother, hurry and save !" Shi Chenghou cried out in joy when he saw the newcor.
It was Shi Chengyu, who had rushed over as soon as he heard the commotion.
Seeing Shi Chengyu, Chen Qingyu and the others grew anxious. Their attacks beca more hurried as if they wanted to finish Shi Chenghou off before Shi Chengyu could join the fight.
Under the combined assault of the three, Shi Chenghou was growing increasingly unable to hold out.
Shi Chengyu, who had hurried over, saw the situation and had no ti to think. He ran toward the battlefield and shouted, "Chenghou, don't worry—I'm here to help you!"
With that shout, his qi and blood surged, ant to intimidate the three of them and ease the pressure on Shi Chenghou.
But Chen Tianjing and the others only grew more frenzied, ignoring the approaching Shi Chengyu.
Seeing this, Shi Chengyu's anger flared and his footwork quickened.
With the three now almost within striking distance, his qi and blood had already condensed. He planned to strike first at the strongest of them, Chen Qingyu. At that mont, however, the three who had been besieging Shi Chenghou suddenly turned their gazes toward him.
A bad premonition rose sharply in Shi Chengyu’s chest.
Before he could think further, the three who had been attacking Shi Chenghou abruptly shifted their target and unleashed a powerful burst of qi and blood toward him.
Chen Tianyu ford hand seals, and the dense qi and blood instantly compressed into a Taiyi Seal.
Beside him, Chen Tianjing dropped his white bone and launched the Big Dipper Seven Stars Fist.
These attacks sent a chill down his spine—they were much stronger than the ones used against Shi Chenghou.
What chilled Shi Chengyu the most was the calm expression on Chen Qingyu's face. His upper body had just spat out several sprays of blood as he swung the white bone toward Shi Chengyu.
The movent wasn’t fast, but Shi Chengyu sensed death and terror from that bone.
"It's a trap!"
This thought flashed through his mind, but it was too late to dodge. He gripped a Divine Stone identical to the one Shi Chenghou held.
Just as the new barrier began to form, the three attackers struck.
“Clan Brother, Clan Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
Beside him, Shi Chenghou watched as Shi Chengyu was hurled away by the three attackers as if he were a kite with its string cut. Panic and helplessness showed in Shi Chenghou's eyes.
A mont ago, he had still been besieged by the three attackers. In the blink of an eye, the one who had co to his aid, Shi Chengyu, was now of unknown fate.
Seeing the shattered Divine Stone and Shi Chengyu lying motionless nearby, Shi Chenghou felt a chill spread through his heart.
Their earlier feigned urgency, pretending they couldn’t finish him off, was actually a trap for the other one!
They wanted to keep them both here!
What a vicious plan.
Realizing this, Shi Chenghou had no ti to check on Shi Chengyu. Only one thought filled his mind: He could not let the Chen family succeed. He had to escape and return to their clan.
The power the three of them had just displayed also filled him with dread. Clan Brother Chengyu was stronger than he was, yet still no match for the three of them. If they stayed, he feared they would both perish on Chaotic Burial Hill.
Cough, cough, cough!
At that mont, coughing could be heard from behind—it was Shi Chengyu. However, Shi Chenghou had no ti to pay it any mind. He believed that if it were his clan brother, he would have made the sa choice.
The three did not pursue Shi Chenghou as he fled. Instead, they surrounded the badly wounded Shi Chengyu on the ground.
Despite his multiple injured internal organs, leaking qi and blood, and reduced Innate Realm strength, Shi Chengyu still wore a faint smile.
"Even if Chenghou escapes, it'll be the sa. Your Chen family will be destroyed in the end!”
"I'll be waiting for you on the road to the Yellow Springs!"
There was no fear of death on Shi Chengyu’s face. Knowing he could not survive, he did not struggle. At least the Chen family had not achieved their full objective this ti. When they ca again, they would surely go all out.
Just as Shi Chengyu's face showed ease, a terrified cry ca from the direction Shi Chenghou had fled.
“Who are you?”
What is that thing?"
"Ah!"
The screams abruptly stopped, as if a fledgling's throat had been clamped shut.
The cries wiped the smile from Shi Chengyu’s face. He was in no condition to move—his internal organs were badly wounded and his qi and blood were leaking—but Shi Chenghou had not suffered a fatal injury. He had lost so qi and blood, but still retained so strength.
The three Innate Realm Chen family martial artists were all present; no one else could have stopped him.
What had happened over there just now?
Shi Chengyu shifted his gaze to Chen Tianyu, hoping to find an answer on his face.
Chen Tianyu smiled slowly when he saw this.
"Sorry, but below too belongs to our Chen family!"
A flash of astonishnt flickered across Shi Chengyu’s face. Before he could grasp its aning, however, his vision blurred.
Monts later, several armored figures slowly erged before Chen Tianyu and his two companions.
Though no words were exchanged, everything was understood without speech.
When Chen Changming handed a black locust leaf to Chen Tianjing, the armored figures finally drifted away into the distance.
At that mont, the leaf in Chen Tianjing’s hand glowed brightly and radiated heat.
The three of them had already been inford by the Clan Leader of the leaf’s effects, though. They imdiately halted, standing silently in place, waiting.
They only began to handle the corpses once the leaf returned to its normal state, before departing swiftly.
