Chapter 28: Retreat! 1
Trantor: 549690339
With the arrival of the bald man.
A pressure as heavy as a mountain descended upon everyone’s hearts.
Fear and shock were revealed in everyone’s eyes.
Is this the limit of a mortal?
Like gods and demons!
An overwhelming aura pressed upon their hearts.
Involuntary questions arouse in their hearts.
Could this kind of person really be defeated by human strength?
The palm of Jiang Yuan, which was originally about to strike, froze abruptly.
The expression in his eyes shifted rapidly.
He hesitated instantly.
At this moment, if he imed Lei Zhan’s life, he would inevitably face the Grand Master of the ck Wind Tribe.
Who had unified his spirit and energy, and had reached the pinnacle among mortals.
At this point, he had no confidence that he could fight such an unparalleled expert.
This suppression, too terrifying at the spiritual level.
Furthermore, having forged his body to the ninth level, he had reached the ultimate of mortality.
Under his unified will, every single move could harness the full potential of his body.
Even a casual strike carried tens of thousands of pounds of force.
Cracking open a mountain or splitting a rock was a breeze for him.
This kind of being couldy siege to a city barehanded.
Even if he was now gifted with Innate Qi Luck, he was far from matching such strength.
Moreover, under the pressure of his powerful martial arts intentions, it was impossible to fully exert his strength.
Just then.
A gentle breeze brushed over everyone’s hearts.
In an instant, everyone felt as if the pressure had disappeared, and the bald man in the sky also became ordinary.
It was not like just now, as if Buddha had descended to earth.
As if they were facing a god ascended high above.
At this moment, Li Hong’s voice echoed softly in everyone’s ears: “Do not panic, what just happened was simply an illusion. Your spirits are too weak to resist the erosion of his martial arts intentions.’
“Thank you, County Honour, for your help!”
A touch of shock shed in everyone’s eyes, they hadn’t expected that Li Hong had also reached the mortal limit.
At that moment.
Boom —
The thunderous sound of a bowstring being plucked.
In a sh, an arrow carrying a raging energy wave charged directly at the bald man in mid-air.
He has made his move!
Everyone’s eyes were fixed, intently looking at the sky.
It was the first time in their lives they were witnessing a full-on battle by those who had reached the mortal limit.
A few momentster.
In the high skies.
The bald man saw the upward flying arrow, creating a distinct white mark in the sky with its rolling energy waves, and his face instantly changed.
The sound hadn’t arrived, yet the arrow had. It’s a ninth level Body Forging expert archer!
His face became extremely solemn.
At this moment suspended in mid-air, he was simply a live target.
The next moment, he condensed his internal energy and resoundingly pped it towards the front.
Boom —
A loud roar echoed in the sky.
Several droplets of blood fell from the sky.
Under this force, the bald man’s figure abruptly retreated backward in the air.
“Grand Tribe Chief, you dare to intrude into my Lin’an County, who gave you the guts!”
Li Hong’s voice abruptly rang out.
“Li Hong, you want to fight to the death with me?” “Fight to the death, with you? Are you worthy?”
As his words fell, he waved his hand.
The man dressed in ck beside him nocked his bow again and drew the bowstring.
Boom —
Another arrow was released.
At the same time, Li Hong’s voice rang out; “This belongs to my Sunset Sect, you who were cast out from Lankesh Temple, dare to shout and cry here!”
“Don’t you know how to write the word ‘death!?”
As soon as these words were uttered.
The bald-headed man’splexion drastically changed.
Li Hong was actually a member of the Sunset Sect!
The Sunset Sect sent a disciple to serve as the County Honour here in Lin’an County!
Moreover, he knew who I was. This is not good!
Within the flow of thoughts.
He stroked his palm forward, instantly breaking the iing arrows into pieces.
At the same time, his figure retreated rapidly towards the outside of the city, propelled by the force of the arrows.
Secondster, arrow after arrow flew from below straight at him.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
“Spare me
Lei Zhan’s eyes were filled with a desperate yearning for life.
“If we spare you, who will spare the lives of those who died in the agency?”
Thinking of the earlier scenes of their family members crying their hearts out when they received the bodies of their husbands, sons…, a surge of murderous intent rose in Jiang Yuan’s heart.
His hand abruptly came down, heavily pping Lei Zhan’s forehead.
In an instant, Lei Zhan’s eyes became lifeless.
His body also copsed weakly to the ground without any movement.
Jiang Yuan said: “Thank you, County Honour, for your assistance!”
Li Hong waved his hand,ughing heartily, “There’s no need for formalities. You might as well be calling me your elder brother soon. He, an abandoned disciple from the outer sect of the Lankesh Temple, dared to behave in such a brazen manner. If I had let him swagger about here, it would make our sect look bad.”
Li Hong was in an exceptionally good mood at this time.
Having personally witnessed Jiang Yuan’s martial prowess, his confidence in Jiang Yuan passing the Sect’s examination increased greatly.
Once Jiang Yuan passed the examination, he would rise rapidly to be an inner sect disciple of the Sunset Sect.
In the future, he would definitely transcend worldly matters, bing a mortal mentioned by all as an Immortal with an extended lifespan.
Unlike him, struggling hard to enjoy the nurturing resources of the sect.
To break through the mortal realm, he has been serving as the County Honour of a small county for more than a decade.
For the sake of wealth, he even had to bear thebel of being greedy.
Moreover, this ce fell under the jurisdiction of the sect.
As the County Honour here, he couldn’t act recklessly.
Additionally, because of the mandatory performance review every three years, he had to ensure the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. These restrictions have made him feel like he wasted more than a decade.
Luckily, he found a genius within his jurisdiction.
If he sessfully brings a genius into the sect, the award would be extremely lucrative.
This makes his decade-long hardship worth it.
At this moment.
Everyone around was astounded.
Sunset Sect, Lankesh Temple.
These were the sect names they heard today.
Especially upon hearing that Lin’an County was part of the Sunset Sect’s territory, they were utterly shocked.
ording to the county records, Lin’an county belonged to Dali Prefecture, and Dali Prefecture was part of the Qianyuan Kingdom.
But they just learned from Li Hong.
Lin’an County is actually under the jurisdiction of the Sunset Sect.
Even the County Honour of a county is a disciple sent by the sect to serve.
This newspletely shattered their understanding.
Is this the power of the Immortal sects?
As for Jiang Yuan’s performance today, they have long forgotten. On the other side.
The bald-headed man fell from the sky andnded on the ground.
As soon as hended.
He “threw up” a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Such a formidable archer! Had my injuries not been healed, I would have fallen victim to Lin’an County today! I didn’t expect that there would be a disciple of the Sunset Sect residing in Lin’an County nowadays.”
He muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a touch of fear.
Having been at Lankesh Temple in the past, he was very clear about the terror of these sects.
If he offended such a sect, he was bound to die without a ce to be buried!
This County Honour Li Hong is a disciple in the Sunset Sect. He must have reached the pinnacle of the Body Forging Realm Nine Layer. His strength would not be weaker than his.
Thinking about all this, he decided that he had to retreat today.
As for the life of his second brother, trapped within the boundaries of Lin’an County.
Also with Li Hong’s intervention, there was no hope for His life survival.
“Second Brother, you go in peace! In theing days, I will make the entire
Zhenyuan Escort Agency bury you!”
