"There he is!" Jun Haru muttered with a smile.
He ran forward and entered the battlefield. For some reason, he was not afraid of this war ground anymore. He came quietly and joined them. Nobody noticed him, or to be exact, nobody cared about him.
Everyone's focus is only one person.
Yang Zhai is about to walk towards Tai Qi, but he stops in his tracks as he notices Cu Gil hiding behind the trees while holding a spider.
"Yang Zhai, tell us what happened?" Tai Qi asked.
Only this was said by him, but it held a sea of meanings. He wanted to know how Yang Zhai got here, how he managed to enter the inheritance gate, how he advanced to rank 4 from rank 2 mid-stage, what he used before entering the inheritance place, what he obtained in the inheritance place, and what he was truly hiding.
Many questions were here, but only one question was asked.
Looks like I have no choice. I truly wanted to use the Bai clan one last time: Yang Zhai shakes his head.
He didn't have much here. Whereas, his opponent Bai Tai Qi and Ma Wan Liu were able to defeat many average rank 5 cultivators alone each. Whereas, at least ten rank 4 cultivators were needed with good coordination to defeat a rank 5 cultivator.
Yang Zhai didn't have even a single rank 4 Ka here, nor any ire to defend or something like infinite purified rays for use.
I truly wanted the Bai clan to help me, but I need the Death Warrant, I need to convince that man, thus…: Yang Zhai said,
"Simple, inheritance is what I was after. Not just that, but do you wanna know something?" Yang Zhai stopped before continuing.
"I also massacred all the mortal villages of both the Ma clan and the Bai clan. You should already know about this,"
What!!!!
This shocked everyone present.
Yang Zhai activated the Corpse collector and the corpse of a rank 4 cultivator appeared.
He also activates the Last One and it appears.
"Both of you, protect me and deal with rank 4 and rank 3 cultivators." Yang Zhai orders.
"Yang Zhai, what do you mean? Have you gone crazy?!" Tai Qi said with narrowed eyes.
They could not fathom the confidence of Yang Zhai.
However, Ma Wan Liu attacks Yang Zhai without hesitation.
"How dare you massacre the mortals of the Ma clan?!!!!"
Yang Zhai easily dodges Ma Wan Liu.
Ma Wan Liu attacks again, but Yang Zhai easily dodges it.
"How?" shocked was Wan Liu.
"I have the strength of around 14 bulls, but I am unable to catch him with just my physical strength?!"
Even though he isn't a body cultivator, he thought that Yang Zhai was weaker than him in pure physical strength.
"Wan Liu, don't underestimate me!" Yang Zhai punches Wan Liu.
But Wan Liu manages to dodge it. He jumps backwards.
As soon as Yang Zhai exits the inheritance gate, it closes and disappears.
On the other hand, Zihao De and the others were hesitating. The reason was that except for Tai Qi and Wan Liu, everyone had their ranks lowered. Everyone here had their ranks lowered to rank 3 because of the Burst stone's effect, except for Shu Ti.
"Yang Zhai, you scoundrel. You ruined my hard work and my planning." Shu Ti also ran towards Yang Zhai, angry.
He couldn't even show off his rank 5 cultivation to others before it dropped down to rank 4 because of Yang Zhai. He remained rank 4. He wanted to hide it, but he didn't need to anymore.
He was running towards Yang Zhai but was interrupted by the Last One.
"Who are you? Get out of my way before I kill you!!" Shu Ti summoned an ice spear and threw it at the Last One.
However, the Last One dodged it and attacked Shu Ti with bare hands. He didn't have anything to fight with besides his hands. However, his physical strength was no joke. It was the same as Yang Zhai.
The Last One is also using his nails as weapons to attack Elder Shu.
"You are strong. But what are you? You seem like a human, but you are not. Yang Zhai summoned you, it means you are one of his cultivation methods." Shu Ti moves his right hand and the ice needles are shot at the Last One.
However, he simply dodges it by jumping to the side. Even though a few managed to strike him, he could not injure the Last One heavily.
The Last One manages to reach Shu Ti. It attacks Shu Ti with a heavy punch. Shu Ti is sent flying. Even though Shu Ti was a rank 4 cultivator, he didn't have any defensive ire, well, he couldn't find one that suited him.
On the other hand, the rank 3 cultivators are hesitant. They were definitely no match for him, Yang Zhai even managed to counter Wan Liu,
Burst Stone can increase the strength of a cultivator. However, after this power subsides, a rank is dropped as a result. This is what happened to everyone who was affected by it.
The Golden Sand of Adaptation was a rank 3 material and was not normal. It had the ability to copy the qualities of many materials. Such as, if Yang Zhai has a rank 1 poison, and he interacted with this poison with the Golden Sand of Adaptation, then this sand would also have the abilities of the poison and would be able to poison others.
However, it couldn't copy everything, like Blue Gem and many others. Nobody knew that it could also copy one line of Burst Stone. On top of that, one line Burst Stone was also the worst among the Burst stones.
These two were the first conditions Yang Zhai asked from Jun Haru to save his life.
Before entering the inheritance, he threw the pouch of the Golden Sand and the Burst Stone into the air. When the Burst Stone burst, its ability was copied by the Golden Sand. The sand scattered into the air and everyone present was affected by this sand.
He could not deal with so many cultivators: thus, he made them unable to fight him.
On the other hand, the corpse being controlled by the Corpse Collector was handling the rank 3 cultivators. Most of the cultivators here were range-type cultivators; thus, it managed to handle them pretty well.
The corpse couldn't use the cultivation methods. However, its physical strength remained the same.
This was the benefit of body cultivation. Even if the rank dropped or a person died, their body strength wouldn't decrease. The same was the case here; not even a single cultivator's strength decreased. But there were only two to three body cultivators here, so Yang Zhai wasn't worried about them. And the corpse Yang Zhai released was a body cultivator.
Right now, I need the inheritance. I can deal with Yang Zhai later. Is he telling the truth though? But besides me, Zihao De, nobody knows about the massacre. But how did he manage to do it?: Tai Qi considered the possibilities.
"Yang Zhai, how about it, as you helped us a lot, I will spare you. But in return, hand over the inheritance. I know as well as you that you can't deal with this many cultivators without my help," Tai Qi tries to convince Yang Zhai.
"Who told you that I am alone? Anyway, I am not so foolish as to listen to you."
When Tai Qi heard this, he summoned a fire and shot it at Yang Zhai.
Yang Zhai dodged the sword. However, he saw another fire coming at him from the left side.
"Sh*t!"
He couldn't dodge in time, so he used the Earth Burial Ka and a pit appeared below him. He fell down and barely avoided the fire.
He didn't rest and backflipped right away.
Right when he did that, he saw a blade coming toward him at high speed.
Yang Zhai moved his left hand forward and blood appeared. It formed a shield, a very thick shield. The blade struck the shield and was stopped by it.
"Hey, you!! Even though we had a conflict in the past, don't you think this is the best opportunity you can get!!" Yang Zhai shouted whilst dodging.
He saw many rank 3 cultivators also attacking him from afar. Even though the corpse Yang Zhai released was handling many rank 3 cultivators, it couldn't deal with all. If this keeps on going, he will be in a very critical situation.
Right now, everyone is focusing on Yang Zhai, except for Jun Nie. His focus is on Ma Wan Liu.
Cu Gil was looking at the battlefield. His hair had turned white and had wrinkles all over his body. He seemed to have gotten old.
"He was definitely speaking to me," he muttered. He was holding a spider in his hand, the Death Warrant.
Yang Zhai saw it and that Cu Gil was old. It could mean only one thing: the real Death Warrant was stolen by Cu Gil and had been used by him multiple times.
If I am not wrong, something happened and Cu Gil stole it. As he managed to steal it means that Tai Qi allowed it. Tai Qi isn't so foolish as to allow something like the Death Warrant to be stolen unless it benefits him, especially after finding out about Cu Gil and his wife's affair. Its only purpose is to massacre. I also saw a Ma clan's mortal village that was massacred by the Death Warrant. So, it can only mean one thing, he wants to massacre the Ma clan.
As he has already gotten so old, his strength should have also weakened. So his only opportunity is right now when everyone is busy fighting me.
These were Yang Zhai's thoughts.
Yang Zhai was constantly dodging Ma Wan Liu and Tai Qi's attacks. Yang Zhai had activated the Yellow Lines the moment he came out of the inheritance gate. He had activated three yellow lines and his vision had enhanced. Everything in 900 meters was clearly visible to him. Thus, he could see even the smallest of movements made by Tai Qi and Ma Wan Liu, giving him the chance to dodge in advance.
He didn't even once think of defeating Ma Wan Liu or Tai Qi. They were rank-five cultivators and had a complete set of fighting methods. Meanwhile, Yang Zhai didn't have even a single rank 4 Ka or any ire to defend himself. If he made even one mistake, he would be bombarded with attacks.
It was getting darker. The sun had set, and the day was about to end.
