91: Chapter 91 Escape, Counterattack

"Fellow Daoist Chen, if things really look bad, you should escape first and not worry about me."

Watching the pursuers draw closer and closer, Su Yu spoke up to remind him. She understood that if it weren't for her, the young man before her would have long since accelerated his escape speed and left. Although the two of them had not spent much time together, Chen Lingyang still refused to abandon her at such a life-or-death moment, warming her heart.

Chen Lingyang merely frowned slightly and did not reply.

"All of you, go die!" the old man roared angrily.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream rang out abruptly.

As several people looked over, it turned out that another of the Zheng Family Cultivators fleeing at the very back had been bound by the silk of the Human-Faced Demon Spider behind them, and was then devoured by several Human-Faced Demon Spiders.

The other three members of the Zheng Family wanted to go rescue him, but the dozens to a hundred Human-Faced Demon Spiders in the rear gave them no chance at all. The moment they paused, attacks would rain down immediately.

The three of them could only continue their escape with bitter resentment.

Running at the very front, Chen Lingyang and Su Yu saw this scene and let out a sigh of relief. As long as one more person was eliminated, even if they eventually shook off this group of Human-Faced Demon Spiders, he, Chen Lingyang, would not fear them with the Tier 2 Talismans in his hands.

"Damn it." Zheng Qingxu's heart was congested with fury, and he wished he could skin the two people in front alive.

The five of them had made this trip to Luoyang Valley, and before they even began their proper business, two clansmen had already died. How could this not depress him?

Their Zheng Family was, after all, a Foundation Establishment Family in Cang Prefecture, with as many as four Foundation Establishment Cultivators under their command. Yet today, they were being toyed with like this by two Qi Refining puny Cultivators. Detestable! Hateful!

With a wave of his sword, he slashed down one of the Human-Faced Demon Spiders that was already approaching them. However, the Human-Faced Demon Spiders capable of catching up to them generally possessed High Grade Tier 1 strength; how could they be slain by a casual strike from him?

That Human-Faced Demon Spider merely flipped its body over; although there was a deep scar on its body surface, it didn't affect its movements in the slightest.

Seeing this, Zheng Qingxu could not help but feel inwardly shocked. However, he immediately thought of something, and hope surfaced once more. The Human-Faced Demon Spiders were indeed formidable, but even when pursuing enemies, as long as they left a certain range outside their lair, they would not continue the pursuit. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Let's hurry and escape this group of Human-Faced Demon Spiders' territory," Zheng Qingxu said to the other two clansmen.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison, driving their flying Magical Artifacts while resisting the attacks from behind.

After another half-incense stick of time, the five finally shook off the Human-Faced Demon Spiders.

Chen Lingyang immediately brought Su Yu and headed off in a certain direction.

"Want to run? Is it really that simple?" Zheng Qingxu's tone was icy cold.

The expressions of the other two were also filled with hatred. Since two clansmen had died, they would just use the two of them to console their dead clansmen.

The old man struck first, his Flying Sword slashing toward Chen Lingyang and Su Yu. The other two followed closely behind, each conjuring out their own Magical Artifacts.

Seeing this, the chiyang sword flew out from the Storage Pouch, blocking the Flying Sword of the old man at the very front. Following that, a defensive Magical Artifact, the Dark Iron Shield, flew out from the Storage Pouch as well, protecting him and Su Yu behind it.

Su Yu was not about to be slaughtered passively either. With a light pinch of several incantation gestures, a ribbon-like Magical Artifact struck toward the three of them, attempting to bind them up.

Seeing this, the old man wore a look of disdain. Just a mere Qi Refining Level 4 Cultivator actually using such a despicable trick, did she really think it would be useful?

With a thought from him, the Flying Sword gleaming with metallic light instantly broke free from Chen Lingyang's chiyang sword, turning to easily tear apart Su Yu's ribbon.

The ribbon was instantly destroyed, and Su Yu's expression turned ugly. Her only Medium Grade Tier 1 Magical Artifact had been torn apart in a single move. From then on, she was practically useless, even though she still had two Low Grade Tier 1 Magical Artifacts in her possession.

However, facing the three of them, it was still far from enough. After all, the young Cultivator with the lowest cultivation level among the opponents was already at Qi Refining Level 6, and he held more than one Medium Grade Tier 1 Magical Artifact.

Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chen's Magical Artifacts were all High Grade Tier 1, which managed to stall for a moment.

Yet the situation was still not optimistic enough; Fellow Daoist Chen's Qi ultimately could not compare with the old man opposite him, let alone the fact that he was facing three Cultivators.

Chen Lingyang's complexion was unsightly. His cultivation was still too low. Leaving aside that old man, even the middle-aged Cultivator's cultivation was one level higher than his own, and he was dealing with three people simultaneously. If not for the fact that he possessed two High Grade Tier 1 Magical Artifacts and the Cultivation Technique he practiced was the Golden Radiance Art, the two of them would likely have been slain during their first exchange.

Seeing Chen Lingyang's two Magical Artifacts, the three opponents also felt a surge of dread. They had initially thought the other party was merely a Loose Cultivator, but looking at this young man now, to possess such cultivation at such a young age and even have these two High Grade Tier 1 Magical Artifacts, perhaps the two of them came from some major faction.

However, since they had already formed a grudge, they needed to resolve them as quickly as possible to prevent the other party from sending word to leak news and draw powerful enemies to their Zheng Family.

For a time, the three members of the Zheng Family tacitly and frantically attacked Chen Lingyang, beating the radiance of the two High Grade Tier 1 Magical Artifacts in Chen Lingyang's hands dim.

Especially that Dark Iron Shield, which had developed numerous cracks.

"Damn it! Are we going to die here?!"

Bitterness filled Chen Lingyang's heart. He had finally gone out to venture on his own, only to have his body perish and Dao dissipate right here on his first outing. The crucial thing was that after his death, his Family might not even be able to find his enemy.

Seeing Chen Lingyang's unsightly complexion, Su Yu also felt a trace of despair rise in her heart. She was merely at Qi Refining Level 4 and was completely unable to help out even a little in this battle.

Chen Lingyang turned his head and said to her, "Fellow Daoist Su, you run first."

Su Yu was stunned upon hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you?"

Chen Lingyang stopped looking at her and merely nodded.

Su Yu shook her head.

Seeing her refusal, Chen Lingyang said no more, only focusing on continuing to deal with the three people before him.

"Bang!"

After resisting for nearly half a quarter of an hour, the Dark Iron Shield ultimately still could not withstand the opponents and was beaten into fragments.

"Meet your death, you little beast," the old man laughed aloud, raising his sword to slash toward Chen Lingyang.

Chen Lingyang hardened his heart, took out a Low Grade Tier 2 ice crystal talisman, and threw it forward.

"This is?" The old man opposite was startled. However, by the time he reacted, it was already too late to dodge this move.

The ice crystal talisman instantly bloomed with extreme chill, enveloping the old man within it.

"Bastard, this old man underestimated you." Just as his voice fell, the old man watched in despair as he was invaded by the chill and subsequently completely frozen.

"Sixth Uncle (Sixth Grand-Uncle)!" Zheng Yanqun and Zheng Yisheng cried out in alarm.

"Bang!"

The ice crystals transformed by the ice crystal talisman shattered, scattering away into fragments along with the old man's body.

"Bastard, pay with your life!" Zheng Yisheng roared angrily.

However, he was pulled back by Zheng Yanqun. "Yisheng, don't be impulsive. If the other party still has a Low Grade Tier 2 Talisman, the two of us will undoubtedly die."

Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed through Zheng Yisheng's heart.

"Let's go." Zheng Yanqun pulled him and immediately departed.

Grasping the chiyang sword, Chen Lingyang watched the retreating figures of the two with vigilance. He had just activated the Low Grade Tier 2 Talisman, instantly draining forty percent of his Qi. Furthermore, he had driven two High Grade Tier 1 Magical Artifacts in intense combat for a long time previously, leaving very little Qi remaining within his body. Fortunately, the opponents did not know his background and feared that he might still possess a Tier 2 Talisman, which was why they chose to flee and stop fighting.
