Chapter 216 Fishing in troubled waters
Then, Yang Wen brandished his blood-red blade and engaged Bai Meisheng in a fierce battle.
At this moment, several cultivators were hiding behind a secluded grove of trees not far away, watching the commotion.
"Elder Liu, should we go? The top-grade spirit stones should be on those two White Tiger Sect disciples! If we're too late, the other two sects might steal them!"
"I have acquaintances in the White Tiger Sect, so I'm too embarrassed to make a direct move. Let's wait and see!"
……
Several cultivators were also hiding in another part of the battlefield.
The leader was a female nun in a light blue dress, with a blue silk scarf covering half of her face.
"Elder Jiang, they've already started fighting. When should I make my move?"
"No rush. Bai Meisheng and Yang Wen are both quite strong. We'll make our move when they're both exhausted!"
There are always people who like to take advantage of troubled situations.
Yang Wen's swordsmanship was indeed superb, and he had grasped the essence of swordsmanship and resolved the problem perfectly. With a casual slash, a forest fell down, leaving a crater more than ten feet deep.
Despite her exceptional illusion skills, Bai Meisheng found it difficult to gain any advantage in the short term.
Just as things were getting tense, Huang Pengfei grabbed Guo Changqing and tried to escape quietly in the chaos.
Thinking of escaping in front of so many Core Formation stage cultivators is wishful thinking.
Yang Wen and the others quickly noticed Huang Pengfei and his companion's unusual behavior, immediately stopped their attack, and blocked their path.
Upon seeing the indifferent looks in Yang Wen and the others' eyes, Huang Pengfei and his companion immediately lost their motivation to escape.
There was no way to escape now, so Huang Pengfei prayed that the sect's backup would arrive as soon as possible.
……
Meanwhile, Ye Xiaobai's support team was moving forward at high speed.
……
After two hours of fierce fighting, Yang Wen's Huanglong Sect ultimately prevailed. Seeing that she was no match for them, Bai Meisheng had no choice but to give up temporarily.
"You flatter me, Fairy Bai!" Yang Wen said with a slight smile.
Yang Wen suffered considerable internal injuries after a fierce battle, but he was slightly stronger than Bai Meisheng.
Then, Yang Wen looked at his "spoils of war"—Huang Pengfei and his companion—and said coldly, "Hand over the goods! Don't force me to take action!"
Huang Pengfei wanted to refuse, but seeing the murderous looks in the eyes of the Huanglongmen disciples, he decided to give up.
"Hand it over!" Yang Wen shouted again.
Huang Pengfei and Guo Changqing had no choice but to take out their top-grade spirit stones.
Southeast corner of this location.
"Elder Liu, the battle is over, let's go!"
"hold on!"
……
Northeast corner.
"Elder Jiang, isn't it time to make a move?"
"That's about it, wait, someone's coming!"
Just as Huang Pengfei was about to take out the top-grade spirit stone from his storage bag.
A familiar voice interrupted everything.
"Wait a minute!"
The person who arrived was Ye Xiaobai, who had rushed over at lightning speed. Half an hour earlier, Ye Xiaobai had smelled a strong stench of blood and the scent of many cultivators from afar.
Ye Xiaobai naturally guessed that the escorts were surrounded ahead. He immediately swallowed a pill, accelerated his escape technique, and rushed ahead alone, desperately heading towards the location where the scent was concentrated.
They arrived at the last minute.
Huang Pengfei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the voice. Although he didn't recognize the person, he thought he could still stall for a while.
Bai Meisheng tensed up when she saw the newcomer. She recognized Ye Xiaobai, who had snatched spirit beasts from her several times. However, she didn't have much spiritual energy left and was injured, so she couldn't cause trouble for her right now.
Just when I was about to get my hands on the item, another troublemaker appeared!
Yang Wen immediately flew into a rage and said, "Fellow Daoist, who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Yellow Dragon Sect?"
"I don't care if you're from the Yellow Dragon Sect or the White Dragon Sect. If you bully our White Tiger Sect, I'll definitely do something about it!" Ye Xiaobai shouted.
"So you're a fellow Daoist from the White Tiger Sect. You've got quite the nerve. My Blood Butcher doesn't kill nameless nobodies. State your name!" Yang Wen sneered.
"Ye Xiaobai of the White Tiger Sect!"
Hearing their conversation, Huang Pengfei and Guo Changqing realized who the visitors were.
Ye Xiaobai usually either secluded himself in seclusion or went out to seek opportunities, so he didn't have much contact with Huang Pengfei and the other person.
Furthermore, neither of them were disciples of Lingdan Peak, and they had hardly ever met.
However, the two had heard that Ye Xiaobai had made great contributions in the previous battle against the Qingyun Sect and was also a skilled alchemist.
Unexpectedly, the person who came to meet them was Ye Xiaobai.
Hearing Ye Xiaobai's composed reply, Yang Wen said with a hint of satisfaction, "Ye Xiaobai, you do have some guts! Let's see how strong you are then."
After saying that, he swung his long sword, and a blood lion more than three zhang tall appeared and pounced on Ye Xiaobai's location.
Looking at the blood lion formed by the sword intent opposite him, Ye Xiaobai was not afraid but delighted, as it was a good opportunity to test the power of the sword intent he had recently cultivated.
Ye Xiaobai held his breath and focused his mind, circulating his internal energy. His longsword sliced through the void, and a crimson fire dragon immediately emerged, heading straight for the blood lion.
With a loud "Bang!", the fire dragon and blood lion were instantly blasted to pieces and slowly dissipated.
The aftershocks forced Ye Xiaobai to stagger back several steps before regaining his balance.
Yang Wen's situation was even worse. He had already exhausted too much energy in his battle with Bai Meisheng, and now he had encountered another opponent with considerable strength.
Upon exchanging blows, Yang Wen was forced back dozens of steps. He immediately realized that the person in front of him was so strong that even in his prime, he might not be a match for him.
At this point, a one-on-one fight would be very difficult to win. Fortunately, there was only one person on the other side, while Huanglongmen had many people. If they attacked together, there was still a great chance.
Immediately, Yang Wen gave a look to the remaining Yellow Dragon Sect disciple, signaling them to attack together.
Everyone immediately understood and unleashed their best skills to attack Ye Xiaobai.
Originally, Ye Xiaobai had the advantage in a one-on-one fight, but suddenly it turned into a group fight, and they were instantly at a disadvantage.
Ye Xiaobai stopped hiding and released the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard to help himself.
With the addition of the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard, the pressure was immediately reduced. The problem of the Yellow Dragon Sect could be solved once the subsequent disciples from other sects arrived.
The premise is that no accidents occur, after all, there are other forces nearby, either openly or secretly, such as the Vermilion Bird Sect in the open, and those in the secret southeast and northeast directions.
Ye Xiaobai already knew it all along.
After dozens more rounds of fighting, Yang Wen and the Huanglongmen were still unable to gain any advantage and became extremely anxious, not knowing what to do.
In the blink of an eye, something even more troublesome happened—reinforcements from the White Tiger Sect arrived.
With the arrival of several new reinforcements from the White Tiger Sect, the Yellow Dragon Gate collapsed instantly.
At this moment, Yang Wen was still unwilling to give up. Looking at Bai Meisheng of the Vermilion Bird Sect, who was healing in the distance, he shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoist Bai, lend us a hand! We will reward you handsomely after we succeed!"
Upon seeing Ye Xiaobai unleash the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard and battle it on all sides, Bai Meisheng was filled with resentment. If Ye Xiaobai hadn't snatched the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard from her, such a powerful spirit beast would definitely have been hers.
Not to mention that they later stole a spirit beast from their side—a nine-tailed fox.
Having had his spirit beast stolen several times, Ye Xiaobai can't blame himself for helping his opponent this time.
Bai Meisheng had been waiting for an opportunity to make her move. As soon as Yang Wen spoke, Bai Meisheng did not refuse and immediately led the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect into the melee.
"Ye Xiaobai, this is not my fault. It's your fault for not cultivating good relationships!" Bai Meisheng mocked as she fought.
"Hmph, if Fairy Bai wants to make a move, just go for it, no need for words!" Ye Xiaobai snorted coldly and said calmly.
The scales of victory tipped in the enemy's favor again in the blink of an eye, but Ye Xiaobai wasn't worried at all, because he still had a trump card up his sleeve.
Even those who take advantage of the chaos in the shadows can become your helpers.
