Chapter 2074: Chapter 1111: Ye Fan Takes Action

"Greetings, Young Master Zhong!"

The Patriarch of the Liew Family respectfully greeted Zhong Wushang, as if he hadn’t seen his own daughter sitting in Zhong Wushang’s embrace.

Zhong Wushang only nodded slightly, not speaking to the Patriarch of the Liew Family. Instead, the man in heavy armor spoke: "The young master’s time is precious, there is no spare time to linger here. You have only one night."

"I understand, thank you, young master!"

Upon hearing the words from the heavily armored man, everyone rejoiced immensely. These words signified the impending doom of the Skeleton Sect. The Patriarch of the Liew Family deeply bowed to Zhong Wushang, and the people behind him also saluted, their hearts filled with excitement.

"Whoosh..."

The Flying Chariot descended into the large tent set up at the rear, erected specifically for Zhong Wushang’s rest.

Zhong Wushang stayed in person, although he had only given the Liew Family one night. Everyone believed that after tonight, the Skeleton Sect and the Great Elder of the Wu Family would cease to exist.

"Everyone, proceed according to the plan!" the Patriarch of the Liew Family drew a cleaver and loudly commanded.

In six formations, over 3,800 martial artists all began to move at that moment. A thousand martial artists at the front charged directly at the castle gate, while the Patriarch of the Liew Family and several affiliate leaders moved slowly toward the castle. This long-awaited battle finally began.

The assault commenced at the front, Liew Bin shouted to those behind him: "Follow me!"

In an instant, more than five hundred people followed Liew Bin and rushed to the rear of the castle. Tonight, Liew Bin aimed to be the first to attack the Wu Family, to personally capture Wu Qingxia and humiliate her in front of all the old and young of the Wu Family. After the destruction of the Wu Family and the Skeleton Sect, he planned to toss Wu Qingxia to his subordinates, allowing them to have their way with her and disgrace her at will, to quell the hatred in his heart.

Close to the backdoor of the castle, this was where the Wu Family greeted their guests. There were dozens of rooms here, but at the moment, they were all filled with martial artists, with no women or children. The family members of those martial artists had long been relocated with the female warriors accompanying them. Ye Fan and the management of the Skeleton Sect were fully prepared to retreat if they were outmatched.

At dawn, Wu Qingxia asked Xia Mengqing if she wanted to relocate, but unexpectedly, this woman who had just arrived the previous day decisively chose to stay. Xia Mengqing knew that while others could leave, she could not. As soon as she appeared outside, Zhong Wushang would immediately target her, so she wisely chose to hide here.

Teams of martial artists leapt out onto the rooftops of the buildings, but once they landed, they discovered that several of the buildings seemed to be on fire. Perhaps due to the rain, the fires couldn’t rage too fiercely, resulting in billowing smoke.

"What happened? Could it be that the enemy has already infiltrated?"

Wu Qingxia was somewhat bewildered but saw Xia Mengqing emerge with a veil over her face.

Noticing the slow-burning rooms and the rolling smoke, it was evident that Xia Mengqing had set the fires, but for what purpose?

"Sister Qingxia, come over here."

Xia Mengqing called to Wu Qingxia, who hesitated but walked over.

By this time, Liew Bin had already led his men through the backdoor, attacking ferociously. The martial artists of the Skeleton Sect all entered these courtyards, with Liew Bin’s men following closely behind. Both sides fought desperately.

Xia Mengqing walked up to Wu Qingxia, discreetly handing her some unappealing medicine pills, and whispered in her ear: "Burning in the rooms is the Bone Eroding Grass. The grass is poisonous; this is the antidote. Take it quickly."

After speaking, she turned and went to find several higher-cultivation martial artists from the Skeleton Sect on this side, handing them medicine pills as well. Seeing Wu Qingxia consume them, they also took theirs.

One of the martial artists accompanying Liew Bin suddenly sensed something amiss, saying: "This isn’t right, this smoke is poisonous, retreat quickly!"

Liew Bin also noticed some martial artists consuming medicine and turned to leave.

"Stop them."

Wu Qingxia shouted loudly, her True Qi circulating inside as her Treasured Sword swung toward Liew Bin. She acted personally, surprising the experts of the Skeleton Sect surrounding her, for they hadn’t expected this usually unruly Miss Wu to actually possess decent martial skills.

Within this group, there were indeed some skilled fighters leading the charge, desperately entangling the martial artists accompanying Liew Bin, preventing them from escaping.

"What a shame!"

Xia Mengqing looked up at the sky and softly spoke. She hadn’t anticipated such heavy rain today. In addition, Liew Bin’s men had seen through her setup, making the Bone Eroding Grass’s effect weaker than planned.

"Everyone, go inside and extinguish the fire for me!"

Seeing many of his men caught in a bind, Liew Bin swiftly ordered people into the rooms to put out the fires. With such rain, the fires weren’t blazing fiercely; extinguishing them shouldn’t be difficult. Once the fires were out, the poisonous grass in the smoke would be rendered useless.

A dozen martial artists pinched their noses, rushing into different rooms trying to extinguish the flame.

"Ah..."

Those who entered to put out the fire soon screamed wretchedly, some shooting out backward, rolling on the ground and wailing. Liew Bin and his followers stared aghast at their appearances.

Their battle armor was corroded in patches, their skin and flesh emitting wisps of white smoke, clearly poisoned.

"Oh my god!"

Wu Qingxia and the others were also startled upon seeing this. The poison was terrifying; these people were clad in thick battle armor, yet it was eroded with large holes, their facial skin all burned, leaving them utterly shocked.

"How did this happen?"

Wu Qingxia questioned several attendants, who looked baffled, while the martial artists from the Skeleton Sect gathered by Zhuge Qing also seemed puzzled.

But Wu Qingxia quickly understood. Although Xia Mengqing didn’t speak with a veiled face, recalling the antidote she distributed earlier, it became clear.

At this moment, admiration quietly grew in Wu Qingxia’s heart. Burning Bone Eroding Grass wasn’t particularly obscure, but to anticipate that the Liew Family’s people would enter the rooms to extinguish the fire and to lay down such formidable poison ahead of time, this crippled woman was indeed not simple.

"Bring down the buildings for me."

Liew Bin shouted again, the house collapsed, the heavy rain could pour in, and the fire would naturally extinguish. The poisonous smoke of the Bone Eroding Grass would be ineffective. However, those who went in previously without coming out would be buried alive inside. At this moment, those outside were blocked by the poisonous smoke, and Liew Bin could only consider the bigger picture.

"Ha!"

Several experts beside Liew Bin simultaneously acted, and in a few moves, they collapsed the smoking houses, burying the people inside alive. Heavy rain poured down, and in a blink, the smoke thinned.

"The poisonous smoke is gone, kill them all!"

Liew Bin yelled, and the martial artists he brought began attacking again. Now the poisonous smoke was gone, and Liew Family’s martial artists hadn’t inhaled much, not heavily poisoned, not affecting the overall situation.

"Such a pity!"

Xia Mengqing said again. The heavens weren’t favorable, pouring such heavy rain. Otherwise, the Liew Family would certainly suffer greatly.

"Wu Qingxia, prepare to die."

Liew Bin roared in Wu Qingxia’s direction, charging towards her.

At that moment, his people were fiercely advancing, but Wu Qingxia’s side had few men, with danger seeming imminent for Wu Qingxia.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly several dull sounds rang, grabbing everyone’s attention. Liew Bin looked toward the source, his face full of surprise.

A martial artist was sent flying backward, taking out a row of people, creating a shocking scene.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of slicing air occurred, and a giant axe split the curtain of rain, heavily striking a martial artist who didn’t react in time, sending him flying, and knocking several Liew Family martial artists away.

"Ye Fan!"

Wu Qingxia saw who it was and exclaimed joyfully, showing happiness in her eyes.

She was very clear that today’s events were related to her, yet seeing Ye Fan appearing here surprised her. In her mind, Ye Fan should be blocking the attack with the Great Elder and others.

"Bang!"

Many were astounded by Ye Fan. He didn’t stop, sweeping the giant axe like a tiger into a flock of sheep. In just the blink, he killed over ten men, knocking dozens flying, continuously harvesting the lives of Liew Family warriors.

"Good!"

Skeleton Sect martial artists were boosted greatly, morale high, charging towards Liew Family fighters, Wu Qingxia’s treasured sword slashing multiple people, as she shouted charmingly, "Reinforcements have arrived, bravely kill the enemy, leave none of these bastards."

"Die!"

A Liew Family expert holding a cleaver confronted Ye Fan. He was nearby when Ye Fan just killed several Liew Family men, he couldn’t ignore it.

"Come on!"

Ye Fan had his eyes on this man, whose cleaver had already downed several Skeleton Sect members. He’s been waiting to cut this person down.

Ye Fan dodged, kicking another Liew Family expert flying, simultaneously swinging the giant axe right at this man’s body.

"Ah...!"

This person was cleaved in two by Ye Fan, blood flying everywhere, entrails scattered, flying towards the cleaver expert.

Cleaver expert’s pupils contracted, quickly dodging to the side!

"Die!"

Ye Fan’s giant axe descended like lightning again, aiming directly at the cleaver expert’s neck, who reacted swiftly, raising his cleaver to meet the axe.

"Bang!"

A massive force transmitted, almost sending the cleaver flying, and the expert stepped back multiple times, eyes filled with disbelief. Ye Fan’s age seemed so young, how did he have such power?

In expert fights, every second counts. Ye Fan wouldn’t give him time to think, charging at the cleaver expert swiftly, swinging down the giant axe again.

The cleaver expert hadn’t stabilized, unable to counter, again raising his cleaver to block. With previous experience, he used maximum strength to prevent his cleaver from being cleaved away.

"Die!"

Ye Fan shouted, gathering all his True Qi internally, swinging the giant axe heavily. When the axe and cleaver collided, a second force was exerted. The cleaver expert couldn’t prepare, his cleaver flew out of his hand.

The expert couldn’t imagine Ye Fan would exert force a second time after the first collision, and the second strike was even stronger than the first. The first strike had already numbed his hands, how could he block the second strike!

"Puff!"

The sound rang out, with no cleaver blocking, Ye Fan’s giant axe finally struck the expert, the great force splitting the cleaver expert bel in two, falling on both sides.

It seemed slow, yet was quick. From Ye Fan’s appearance to now was just a few eye blinks, leaving the cleaver expert dead on the spot, shocking those present. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
