Chapter 320 - 171: One Hand Covers the Sky, Crushing All in Its Grip
Boom boom!
Magical artifacts collided in mid-air, and the explosions produced deafening roars, echoing like thunder across the heaven and earth.
The terrifying energy fluctuations stirred up fierce winds, leaving only howling gales between heaven and earth, as if to destroy all existence together.
Watching from afar the scenes of both sides battling, colorful explosion ripples spread towards the surroundings.
These were shock waves from the magic explosion, whose might resonated so far away that it made one tremble with fear. Ordinary people caught within would have long been destroyed completely.
The series of shock waves hung high in the sky, blooming glorious radiance between heaven and earth that could be seen clearly even from ten miles away.
There’s no denying that the conflict erupting between the Daluo Alliance and Qin Family surprised many; no one expected it to start so suddenly.
Whether it was the Daluo Alliance or the Qin Family, they either had deep foundations or powerful backing, not to be trifled with. Other forces only dared to watch, not daring to involve themselves easily in the shifts of battle to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"So lively!"
"Not too late to catch the action..."
When Zheng Yi arrived, the battlefield had already entered a fervent stage.
Both sides had constant friction recently, hurting each other, holding a belly full of anger, eager to rip the other apart.
Therefore, like a lit powder keg, once confronted, neither side held back initially. Both Daluo Alliance and Qin Family deployed all their elites.
Since they’ve already torn faces apart, whoever strikes harder and darker stands a better chance.
These were old Demon Cultivators; whose lives were more important, theirs or the enemy’s? The answer was obvious.
Combined, nearly a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators commenced their attacks together, pairing off in duels. Magical clashes, artifact impacts formed energy shock waves within heaven and earth, creating tidal waves of colorful energy.
Terrifying auras surged in mid-air, and powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivators occasionally were sneak-attacked, knocked down one by one, vomiting blood.
The issue of the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Ore had already stirred up great commotion. It was true Qin Family occupied it, but the Daluo Alliance claimed it sought vengeance for the Xin Family.
The Xin Family had entirely pledged under the alliance’s banner and could be considered subordinates. If a subordinate’s property was seized, obviously the leader must act to reclaim face; this reasoning was only proper.
Otherwise, if a subordinate was bullied, and the big brother didn’t react, who would follow them? How would they manage and educate the affiliated forces?
In the eyes of Demon Cultivators, this was simply a matter of course; not fighting would be strange.
Moreover, Xin Lingxian, the female patriarch of Xin Family, was officially Zheng Yi’s concubine. The allied Alliance Leader Zheng Yi couldn’t disregard the humiliation of his beloved woman’s family.
Launching an assault on Qin Family was completely reasonable.
As for deeper secrets within, outsiders couldn’t possibly know. They just felt Zheng Yi raged over a beauty, justified in doing so. Even wiping out Qin Family would likely have bystanders clapping happily.
This led to the newly rising Daluo Alliance clashing with the long-established Foundation Establishment Clan Qin Family, deepening their grudges further, engaging fiercely, and sparing no ground.
The ground battle was equally brutal, groups of cultivators simultaneously releasing magic, greatly amplifying power and coverage.
Magic and flying swords collided together, while the explosions couldn’t compete with those of mid-air Foundation Establishment experts, frequent screams represented the fall of countless lives.
There’s no denying that battles between cultivators are this cruel; every force and clan reaching upper realms inevitably is stained with blood. It’s either you die or I perish.
Both sides hold over a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators, formidable forces that can be termed local overlords within a thousand-mile radius. Yet this time, they were facing off, like sworn enemies, fighting tooth and nail, leaving outsiders watching with shock and fear.
Who knows how many spies from various forces and Loose Cultivators came to watch, but didn’t dare approach the battle’s center.
But within distant mountains and woods, clusters of shocking energy waves erupted occasionally, evidently some were secretly taking advantage of the situation or employing some sort of Secret Techniques.
"Hahaha, truly dog-eat-dog catching fur, Daluo Alliance is tiger, Qin Family is wolf. Driving the tiger to devour the wolf, both sides fighting to death, exhausting resources, it will be more convenient for us afterward..."
Someone coldly laughed, reveling in the chaos without concern.
"At the end of the day, the Alliance Leader of Daluo Alliance raging for a beauty, avenging his concubine is only appropriate. That Qin Family unreasonably seized Xin Family territory, nearly destroying this small Artifact Refining Clan, occupying dozens of mines, who else should be struck?"
Someone pointed out both sides in conflict, discussing from afar.
"Hatred between major forces is not that simple. The Alliance Leader of Daluo Alliance is clearly a hero, not a fool blinded by lust. I believe avenging the concubine is false, the true aim is to set an example for his forces; otherwise, how has Xin Family been bullied into such a state? Nearly exterminated. If the leading big brother says nothing, how will others willingly follow him wholeheartedly in the future?"
"I think it’s not that simple, the recent clues of contention between Qin Family and Daluo Alliance primarily stem from the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Ore. This thing holds great value, I reckon the Daluo Alliance is only using the pretext, they too covet those dozens of mines..."
