As soon as Hong Tai finished speaking, the practitioners from the Dark Ghosts immediately approached the crowd.
Upon learning that the visitor was a dark ghost, the three families scattered on all sides of the Black Water Pond panicked and immediately racked their brains for countermeasures, thinking about how to break the impasse.
"Old Han, I'm afraid we have to flee separately."
Seeing the person slowly approaching, Zhou Qingchen's face became solemn, no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before.
He had just learned from Han Duping that this leader named Hong Tai actually had the cultivation level of Marrow Cleansing Realm.
In the fourth realm, the Xisui realm is already the strongest at the top of the pyramid. Although he will reach the Xisui realm sooner or later, he is currently only at the Tongmai realm.
The other party had found out their details through Zhang Heng, and still dared to bring people to encircle and suppress them, so they must have been fully confident.
"Well, I know what I'm talking about."
Han Duping's eyes flickered.
“Bang, bang!”
Pang Jian suddenly ran wildly, rushing towards the fallen war horses.
The rough dragon-patterned spear given to him by Zhou Qingchen, as well as his sword and bow and arrow, were now on their warhorses.
He knew nothing about the dark ghost, and couldn't tell a person's level of cultivation. All he could do was to get his usual weapon as soon as possible so that he could prepare for the bloody battle that was to follow.
"Everyone!"
Zhou Qingchen suddenly raised his voice and shouted as if swearing an oath: "Don't worry about me, just do your best to escape from here."
"I, Zhou Qingchen, promise you all here that as long as I can leave alive, I will never go to the Red Mountain in the upper realm to practice before I kill all the dark ghosts present today!"
Those who were loyal to the Zhou family were shocked when they heard the words, and their morale seemed to be boosted.
"Kill these stinking gutter rats!"
"They are just some dark ghosts who are not worthy of being on the stage? Why should we be afraid of them?"
The practitioners of the Zhou family clenched their weapons, and then rushed towards the dark ghost's men without fear of death.
Outside the black water pond, it is open in a fan shape, and the part where the umbrella ribs retract is where everyone is currently.
Under Hongtai's command, the dark ghosts almost filled up the space facing outwards. Everyone wanted to rush out and would inevitably come into contact with the dark ghosts.
Soon, the servants loyal to the Zhou family met the dark ghosts, and the battle broke out in an instant.
Just as he got the bow and arrow and the long sword, and grasped the dragon-patterned spear in one hand, Pang Jian looked up and saw that a bloody battle had begun.
"Brother Pang Jian, I can't protect myself this time, so I'm afraid I can't take care of you." Zhou Qingchen glanced at Pang Jian, who was frowning, from a distance and sighed, "What I can do is to attract the enemy's most ferocious firepower to myself. Take care of yourselves, and I hope we will meet again!"
After saying this, he rushed out like a cheetah.
Seven deep red beams of light shot out from the heart-protection mirror on his chest, like ferocious and bloodthirsty dragons of light, killing several surrounding dark ghost members on the spot.
The bones of the dead Dark Ghost members were shattered and turned into a pile of rotten meat.
Zhou Qingchen's ferocity and tyranny immediately frightened the dark ghost attackers. Those who had not reached the Tongmai realm hurriedly made way as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Zhou Qingchen laughed wildly and walked through piles of broken flesh and blood, charging forward as if he was in an empty space.
"I knew this kid was the most difficult to deal with."
Hong Tai, who had known this, narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Qingchen's exposed heart-protecting mirror, and said with a greedy smile: "It looks like it should be a treasure bestowed by Hongshan. Not bad!"
“Hiss!”
The python he was riding immediately snaked towards Zhou Qingchen, crushing countless plants along the way.
Wherever the python passed, the forest seemed to have been plowed out of thin air to create a rugged mountain road that went several feet into the ground.
Zhou Qingchen attracted many dark ghosts and even took away their leader Hong Tai. He shared the main force of the dark ghosts by himself and boosted the morale of the others.
In the chaos, Ning Yao also came to the dead chestnut warhorse and kicked it, causing the fallen warhorse to turn over.
At this time, she didn't care about the blood stains on the leather bag containing the spirit stones. She twisted it up and put it on her back.
"Uncle Yuanshan, let's leave quickly!"
She didn't even look at Pang Jian who was standing beside her, and she and Ning Yuanshan broke through to the end farthest from Zhou Qingchen.
That is where the Dark Ghost's defense is the weakest.
As for Pang Jian, he was already a dead man in her mind and was destined to not escape the attack of the dark ghost.
"I will return your money to you. From now on, I will no longer be obligated to do anything for your Ning family."
Looking at her and Ning Yuanshan running away, Pang Jian took out the bag of silver from the bottom of the bamboo basket and threw it directly at her without caring whether Ning Yao wanted it or not.
Ning Yao turned a deaf ear to it and didn't even turn her head.
Her eyes and attention were focused on Zhang Heng who was blocking the way. She shouted fiercely with bright eyes: "Zhang Heng, my Ning family has treated you well, but you actually harmed us!"
"You treat me well?"
Zhang Heng rode on a warhorse he had taken away, watching Ning Yao and the others approaching quickly, and sneered: "In your eyes, all those who are not surnamed Ning are just cannon fodder that you can sacrifice at will. When has your eldest daughter of the Ning family ever looked at me straight in the eye?"
There was a gradual evil look in his eyes as he stared at Ning Yao's heroic face. He gurgled in his throat as if he was swallowing hard.
"You have done a great deed. Later we will let this little bitch look at you properly from under your crotch."
In that seemingly lax defense area, from deep inside a large tree with dense branches and leaves, a playful laugh rang out: "Old Hong has already agreed to let this little bitch enjoy you first."
As soon as this voice came out, Ning Yao's face suddenly turned gloomy, knowing that things were not as simple as she thought.
Ning Yuanshan suddenly screamed, "Be careful!"
Many long spears and short spears were shot out from the bushes and tree trunks in front of Ning Yao and the others, turning into sharp lightning bolts.
The two of them were in a panic, dodging and blocking, and their speed of breaking through the encirclement was immediately forced to slow down.
"Han Duping, if you can take me out alive, I... I will let you have a kiss!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shangguan Qin was now frightened. She was finally willing to pay attention to the fat man who kept pestering her and even offered conditions that made her feel disgusted.
Rather than falling into the hands of the dark ghost and suffering inhumane humiliation, she could grit her teeth, close her eyes and reluctantly accept Han Duping for once.
Han Duping, who has always coveted Shangguan Qin's body, has no time to care about her at this life-threatening moment.
The obese Han Duping was suddenly wrapped in silver armor. He squatted down and contracted his body, and began to roll on the ground like a silver iron ball.
The dark ghost attackers chopped at the iron ball with all kinds of weapons, but only produced a few sparks.
Han Duping, who was curled up in the sphere, took the opportunity to stab the nearest person with a steel needle-like weapon, killing several dark ghosts who were besieging him.
"Han Duping! You bastard, you will die a miserable death!"
Shangguan Qin, who was ridiculed, cursed loudly and gritted her teeth, but still chose to follow Han Duping to break out.
At this moment, the breakouts were being besieged and intercepted by the dark ghosts. Only Pang Jian was looking around among a pile of dead warhorses, waiting for the right opportunity to appear.
"There's actually a stupid boy standing there and not running away."
A thin but extremely agile member of the Dark Ghost team slowly approached, holding a wolf-tooth beacon stick that was taller than him.
The man suddenly flew into the air and smashed Pang Jian on the head with a wolf-tooth beacon stick, wanting to kill him before chasing Shangguan Qin.
Shangguan Qin, who has a voluptuous and sexy figure, is exactly the type he likes, and he has been itching for her for a long time.
"A practitioner at the Qi Refining Stage."
Facing the person who jumped high, Pang Jian suddenly remembered what Zhou Qingchen said, that for practitioners who have not broken through to the Tongmai realm, their spiritual power cannot flow to the tendons and meridians throughout the body, and their combat power is not much stronger than that of ordinary people.
He was calm and no longer had any tension or fear. He waited coldly for the person to approach.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never been an "ordinary person" who can be slaughtered at will. In this mountain range that he is most familiar with, he, Pang Jian, has always been the only one who goes hunting wild beasts!
After taking a deep breath, he quickly entered combat mode. His heart and eyes were as calm as before, and his body was filled with a cold and murderous intent.
Seeing the wolf-tooth beacon stick getting closer, he, who was used to using a long sword, chose to drop the dragon-patterned spear in his hand and use both hands to hold the sword to block the wolf-tooth beacon stick in the sky.
"when!"
After a crisp sound, his hands were numb from the shock, and he also saw the long sword was deformed by the impact.
He suddenly realized that the rigidity and quality of this long sword were too poor to be used in battles between practitioners.
The next moment, he decisively grasped the dragon-patterned spear!
After he truly used the spear as a weapon, he suddenly discovered that the spear, which seemed extremely heavy when he first lifted it, was now incredibly light.
He knew very well that the weight of the dragon-patterned spear would not change, so the only one who would change would be himself!
"That dream, the washing of the hand bones and sternum..."
In a trance, he felt a powerful force surging from the joints of his hands that were tightly holding the spear!
"Huh?"
After the dark ghost attacked, he was stunned to see that Pang Jian did not kill the man with his sword.
He adjusted the angle of the huge wolf-tooth beacon stick that was completely inconsistent with his body size, preparing for the next wave of attack.
At this time, Pang Jian, who was much younger than him but tall and well-built, was already coming towards him with a spear in hand.
"You dare to fight back against me?"
His eyes turned cold, and he immediately waved the wolf-tooth beacon stick, making a whirring sound, intending to first smash Pang Jian's head and then break all of Pang Jian's bones.
“Bang!”
At the moment when the wolf-tooth beacon stick and the dragon-patterned spear touched, a brutal force suddenly erupted, causing the spikes on the stick to suddenly explode, and the spikes splashed onto his face and body, leaving his face and body covered with blood and holes.
His hands, tightly clenched around the wolf-tooth beacon stick, could not withstand such a violent impact and were covered with bloody cuts.
"This is the Dark Ghost practitioner? Not that great, right?"
Pang Jian, who succeeded in his attack, looked at the miserable appearance of the dark ghost and muttered to himself.
Immediately, without caring whether the man was dead or not, he stabbed him in the neck with the tip of his spear.
After a "puff" sound, the dark ghost attacker was pierced through the neck by the dragon-patterned spear.
Seeing this man die so easily, Pang Jian suddenly felt that what Zhou Qingchen said was true. Practitioners who had not entered the Tongmai Realm had not achieved a qualitative breakthrough and their combat power was indeed limited.
"Zhang Hu!"
Zhang Heng, who was riding the last surviving warhorse, suddenly roared in grief and anger after the man died instantly.
At this moment, he gave up the plan to kill Ning Yao and Ning Yuanshan, and rode his war horse straight towards Pang Jian!
"younger brother!"
Zhang Heng's eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring at Zhang Hu, who was lying among the corpses of war horses, trying to catch a glimmer of life.
Unfortunately, just like the Ning family war horses that he poisoned to death, his younger brother Zhang Hu also died instantly.
"Pang Jian!"
Zhang Heng, who joined the Dark Ghosts because of Zhang Hu, was completely furious. He howled Pang Jian's name and beat his warhorse wildly.
Pang Jian, who had just experienced his first battle, saw Zhang Heng riding his mad horse and galloping, so he immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow.
The longbow, which usually required a lot of effort to control, was instantly pulled to its full length by him. He continuously shot arrows at Zhang Heng on his warhorse, but Zhang Heng either dodged them or blocked them with his sword.
Seeing the warhorse and Zhang Heng getting closer and closer, Pang Jian suddenly changed his target and chose to shoot at the galloping warhorse.
“Puff!”
In the blink of an eye, several arrows were pierced into the warhorse's eyes, neck and forehead.
The warhorse that Zhang Heng regarded as his partner became blind and struggled frantically, throwing Zhang Heng off.
Without waiting for Zhang Heng to adjust his out-of-control posture after landing, Pang Jian suddenly rushed out like lightning and stabbed the sky repeatedly with the dragon-patterned spear in his hand, leaving bloody holes on Zhang Heng's body.
When Zhang Heng actually landed on the ground, he suffered the same fate as his brother Zhang Hu.
"So brave, I thought he was so powerful."
Looking at Zhang Heng's body, which was still oozing blood, Pang Jian muttered with a strange expression on his face.
