Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: The Disciples’ First Battle

Fifteen miles outside the southeast gate of Yunshui City. A dozen burly men on horseback returned, kicking up dust, wielding various weapons and well-equipped, resembling a band of robbers! They were reeking of blood, clearly fresh from a slaughter. Their horses were loaded down with numerous bundles, which appeared to be looted treasures.

“Big brother, we hit the jackpot again this time!” a scar-faced man licked his lips, greed gleaming in his eyes!

“This time we were quite lucky, we managed to rob a sizable merchant convoy, hehe!” The leader, a man with a beard, grinned widely, and on his horse lay an unconscious woman.

“Hehe, that’s right! We’ve been killing chickens and slaughtering sheep along the way, enjoying the finest food and drink, and indulging with the beautiful women from the nearby villages!”

“I’ve heard the beauties in Yunshui City are far superior to those in our poor, remote area!”

“Haha, with all this wealth we’ve plundered, we can go to Yunshui City and have a good time for a few days!”

The group chatted shamelessly, their words laced with lewdness.

“The women in Yunshui City are indeed beautiful, but they are also too expensive. The girl big brother has robbed this time is a real treasure!”

“Yeah, her skin is as smooth as satin!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, she must be the daughter of some wealthy family!”

The bearded man grinned, his gaze lingering on the face of the girl in his arms. She had delicate features, snow-white skin, and a slim, graceful figure that made one unable to resist wanting to kiss her.

“Big brother will definitely go first, and we’ll follow suit!”

“Hehe!”

Everyone burst into laughter, their eager eyes fixated on the unconscious girl.

“Don’t worry, once I’m done playing, there will definitely be some fun for you too!” The bearded man laughed heartily, a wicked glint in his eyes!

“I’ll be second, hahaha!”

“Count me in, I want to be third!”

“Who are you to claim third? Get in line, I’m the one who’s third!”

“This pretty little thing, tsk tsk tsk, she’s definitely got some spice. Brothers, let’s have a good time tonight!”

The group erupted in hearty laughter, their eyes flashing with lewdness.

They were all outlaws, living each day amidst bloodshed and chaos, ruthless in their dealings, committing all sorts of heinous acts, with murder and theft being a regular occurrence.

“We’re almost at the hideout, everyone speed up!” the leading bearded man called out, urging his mount.

“Giddy up, giddy up!”

The chestnut horse galloped wildly, kicking up clouds of dust.

“Old Six, Old Seven, come out to welcome us!”

This group of brigands quickly entered their stronghold, but as soon as they stepped inside, the bearded man’s expression changed.

Something’s wrong!

It was too quiet!

A sudden sense of foreboding surged in his heart!

“Retreat!”

He shouted loudly, tightening the reins in preparation to turn back.

But it was too late.

“Boom——!”

A figure jumped down from the hilltop, landing at the entrance of the stronghold, slamming their weapon heavily onto the ground, creating a tremendous noise that shook the earth and raised plumes of dust.

“Who are you? How dare you intrude into Black Wolf Village?”

The bearded man exclaimed, watching the suddenly appearing figure with utmost vigilance.

“Heavenly Dao Sect, Xiao Yan!”

A calm voice floated over as the dust settled, revealing a strong figure slowly emerging into view.

This figure was undoubtedly Xiao Yan!

At this moment, holding a black iron ruler, he stood there like a spear, tall and sharp.

“Xiao Yan? The infamous waste from the Xiao Family of Yunshui City?”

“Hahaha!”

“So it’s this little waste!”

The bearded man was initially stunned, then burst into a loud laugh, and the others doubled over in laughter as well.

They had thought a powerful expert had come, but it turned out to be just a waste!

“Xiao Yan, you actually dare to come alone into our Black Wolf Village; you really have some guts!”

“Today, there’s no way for you to escape!”

An avaricious-looking man said coldly, his hand resting on the long knife at his waist, urging his warhorse as he charged toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan suddenly twisted his hand, and a powerful will emanated from him.

The title of waste, endured for ten years, could finally be washed away today!

“Swish!”

With a sound of breaking air, Xiao Yan’s wrist flicked, and the black iron ruler swept forward with a fierce momentum, striking at the shifty-eyed man!

“Clang~!”

The sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flying as the shifty-eyed man hurriedly drew his weapon to defend himself!

He was at the first level of Qi Refining and thought he could slash Xiao Yan with one blow, but to his surprise, the power of the black iron ruler in Xiao Yan’s hands was terrifyingly immense!

When the ruler came down, he simply couldn’t withstand the immense force and was sent flying, his chest caving in, blood gushing out!

“Hiss…….!”

The others gasped in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Wasn’t it said that Xiao Yan could not cultivate and was destined to be a waste for life?

How could he take down a Qi Refining expert with just one strike?

Was this something a waste could achieve?

“This kid is trouble, let’s go together!”

The bearded man reacted, shouting loudly.

“Kill!”

“Big brother, leave this kid to me!”

“I want to tear this bastard apart!”

The rest of them shouted angrily, rushing towards Xiao Yan and surrounding him, their fierce intentions clear!

“Die!”

“Little brat!”

As the group rushed in, swords and knives glinted coldly in their hands, each displaying their ultimate skills to attack Xiao Yan.

These people were all Qi Refining cultivators; although their cultivation bases ranged only from the first to the third layer, they were ruthless individuals who wouldn’t hesitate to kill!

However, just at that moment, two more voices rang out.

“Vile and wicked people, deeply sinful, must be punished!”

“Killers and arsonists, doing all manner of evil, they must die!”

Two figures rushed out from behind Xiao Yan, one on the left and one on the right—Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi!

“Dog-Beating Stick Technique!”

“Chasing Wind Sword!”

Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi shouted in unison, their auras surging.

Zhuge Feng swung his arm, pushing off with his legs, his whole body shot forward like a released arrow, instantly reaching the scar-faced man at the third layer of Qi Refining, swinging the iron rod to smash into his head.

Xiao Lingxi was even more decisive; holding her long sword, she lightly tapped the ground with her toes, resembling a cloud of red, dancing like a fairy. With a stab, she attacked another third layer Qi Refining expert.

“Horizontal Sweep of a Thousand Jun!”

Xiao Yan joined the fray, gripping the black iron ruler with both hands, swinging it fiercely and creating a whistling wind, driving back the three attackers who came at him, leaving them lying on the ground, unable to rise.

At the same time, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a petite figure burst out from the hole, a sharp glint flashing in her hand.

“Whoosh!”

“Puchi!”

Blood spattered everywhere, and screams filled the air.

A slender figure flashed by, her dagger slicing through the air in a perfect arc, claiming the last life!

In just a few breaths, apart from the leader with the scruffy beard at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, all the bandits perished!

These bandits were strong, but how could they be stronger than Zhuge Feng and the others?

Heavenly Spirit Roots, spiritual weapons, top-tier immortal techniques, powerful combat skills, Body Refining…

The four disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, though their cultivation bases weren’t very high, were definitely well-equipped!

Therefore, even in a four against ten situation, the advantage was still on our side!
