C245 Exposure
On the Western Mountain Village side, even though Meng Shan also had five or six Martial Disciples, and Yang Tian's strength that was on par with the bandit leader far exceeded the bandit cultivators' expectations. However, under the joint attack of ten Martial Disciples, the Western Mountain Village quickly fell into despair.
In fact, if this was a normal day, these bandits would definitely not be willing to come into contact with a tough enemy like the West Mountain Village. They might even lose soldiers, but this time, the materials used by the village's caravan was too enticing, and the bandit leader did not put these mud-limbed Martial Disciples in his eyes. He was confident that even if he fought with the leader of the caravan, he would be able to quickly suppress them.
However, the result was out of his expectations. Although they quickly gained the upper hand, the leader of the caravan was unexpectedly as strong as him, causing the bandit leader to be extremely angry. Since when did those mud-legged cultivators who only knew how to grow spirit farms have strength comparable to the inner disciples of the sect?
By the time Liu Zhi Fei and the members of the third group arrived, the bandit leader was extremely unwilling to give up. At this moment, the West Mountain Merchant Group had already reached the end of their tether, and other than the leader Yang Tian Gang, everyone else, including Meng Shan, had already been beaten into a sorry state by the bandits.
"Attack! Don't let them escape!"
Liu Zhifei waved his hand. The magic tool had already turned into a streak of light, carrying a huge wind pressure with it. However, it was not aimed at the bandit leader. Instead, it was aimed at the person with the lowest cultivation.
"Shameless!"
The bandit chided loudly. The bandit that Liu Zhifei attacked was only an early stage Martial Disciple. How could he withstand Liu Zhifei's sneak attack?
Liu Zhifei was furious. Since when did bandits have the right to call themselves' shameless'? Thinking of this, he exerted even more force.
Helpless, the bandit leader could only temporarily let go of Yang Tian, who had just rescued his men. The two clashed and the violent Spiritual Qi fluctuations made it difficult for people to breathe. However, the bandit leader angrily shouted, "Bastard!"
In the instant that the bandit leader attacked Liu Zhifei, he was naturally on guard against Yang Tian, who was on the other side. However, he did not expect Yang Tian Gang to not only miss the opportunity to attack him, but instead used the high-grade magic tool in his hand to continue killing the early stage Martial Disciple that Liu Zhifei had killed earlier.
With this, even if the bandit leader had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to save anyone with the tacit understanding of the two cultivators of the same cultivation level.
Yang Junshan was the second to rush to the scene to save his father. Seeing that his father was already half relieved, and that Hero An had lost his discipline under the siege of two bandits of the same rank, he immediately waved both of his arms with all his might, and the rocks surrounding the Hero An were immediately moved, smashing towards the two bandits who were besieging him in disorder. For a moment, the two bandits were thrown into a complete mess.
At this time, the other members of Squad Three had also sensed that the bandit leader was in a bad situation. Although they resented him greatly in their hearts, they had no choice but to shout out loud and gather the bandits once more.
Was he trying to say 'hah hah'? He was simply going to have a decisive battle with everyone!
Yang Junshan suddenly shouted, "They want to rob the corpses!"
Everyone's gaze shifted and they immediately saw a bandit taking advantage of the moment when everyone else was rushing over to the bandit cultivator who had his head smashed into by Yang Tian.
Since when had such a rogue cultivator become so benevolent? He even knew that if they tried to snatch back their comrades' corpses, their side might be chased down at any moment when the situation reversed.
Liu Zhifei instantly understood what was going on and shouted angrily, "Don't let them snatch the corpse away! Follow me and attack!"
The others didn't have any time to react. They were all shocked by Liu Zhifei's shout and rushed forward to stop him. The two of them once again engaged in a fierce battle. However, this time, it was the Yang Tian Gang's father and son who held the upper hand.
"Destroy!"
The bandit leader was no longer able to snatch the corpses of his comrades, so he immediately ordered his comrades to destroy them.
It was not easy to snatch the corpse, but it was not too difficult to destroy it. This time, Yang Junshan's side desperately tried to protect it. Even though they had the upper hand in numbers, it was still the bandit who took the initiative.
This was especially true for the leader of the bandits. He suddenly burst with power, and his left leg managed to restrain two late stage Martial Disciples, Yang Tian and Liu Zhifei. The other bandits also fought with fewer cultivators, freeing up two people to destroy the corpse.
Who would have thought that the ground beneath the corpse would suddenly split open and instantly swallow that cultivator's corpse. After that, the entire ground closed up, leaving no traces of the corpse behind, causing the bandit cultivators who had rushed over to the corpse to be stupefied.
The two bandits were in a hurry as they attacked the ground with their spells. They expected to destroy the body buried in the ground as well, but they did not expect a cloud of dust to fly into the air. Even though a five foot deep hole had appeared on the ground, where could the corpse have been?
"Quick, retreat!"
The bandit leader clearly understood that after these two bandit groups attacked them, the Heaven Shaking Sect's side had already sent five of them to separate from the other two. At the same time, they had also surrounded the two of them, but by the time he had reminded them, it was already too late.
"Nothing can be done. Let's go!"
When the bandit leader saw that his two accomplices were trapped inside, he shouted in grief and indignation and continued to lead the way, protecting the others as they retreated.
"Big brother, Old Sixth, Old Eighth, and the others are still …"1
"Go, go quickly!" Once again, the bandit leader blocked Liu Zhifei and Yang Tian Gang with his loud voice, "We are doomed this time, do you want more brothers to die here?" "Hurry up and leave!"
The remaining seven bandits all retreated helplessly. The third squad retreated after a short chase, and the two surrounded bandits were exhausted after being surrounded by Qi Zhou, Wang Zong, Luo Bingkun, and Meng Shan. After a short while, they were captured alive.
"Find out their origins. I want to see who had the guts to come to Mengyu County and stroke the beard of the Heaven Shaking Sect!" Liu Zhifei said coldly.
"Little Yang, where's that person's corpse? What divine ability did you use? Where did you use it?"
Zhuang Guangyu was in a hurry to collect his spoils of war, and he wanted to know what ability Yang Junshan used to bury the corpse underground.
Not far away from Zhuang Guangyu, the solid ground suddenly arched upwards, but this place was not where the bandit's corpse fell into the crack in the ground. However, as the soil turned around, a corpse was pushed up from the ground, it was the bandit whose skull Yang Tian had just smashed.
"A new divine ability?" Why is it that I find it a little similar to the Earth Escape Technique? "
Liu Zhifei was indeed worthy of being an inner disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect. He was well-informed and far more knowledgeable than the humble cultivators in the countryside. He was able to see through some clues with a single glance.
"Haha," Yang Junshan laughed and said, "Brother Liu, you are flattering me. I am only using the common Earth Element Art. Almost all cultivators know the Earth Attribute Art."
On the other side, Xiong Xiyi and the others seemed to have found something among the dead and captured bandits, and waved towards them. Liu Zhifei slightly nodded towards Yang Tian, turned around and walked over.
After the bandit left, the caravan from the Western Mountain Village and the caravan from the Earth Meng Village, along with some other travelling merchants, all of them were busy counting the goods left behind, calculating their losses.
"Father, how are our losses this time?" Yang Junshan asked in a low voice.
Yang Tian Gang sighed and said, "Losses aren't much, only three of the ten large carriages in our village were destroyed in the course of the previous fight. However, most of the goods carried inside were scattered all over the village, so the losses aren't too great. What makes father feel guilty is that seven or eight of the ten people from the same village died in this battle."
"Lord Village Head, quick, Vice Village Shi and Young Noble Shi were severely injured in the previous battle and are almost at the end of their wits." The moment Yang Tian finished his words, a villager ran over screaming.
"What?"
Without a word, he turned around and walked towards a tree by the side of the road. There were many people surrounding this place, and as Yang Tian pushed his way through the crowd, he saw An Xia, Xu Sanniang, and Meng Shan squatting beside two cultivators.
The two people on the ground were none other than Shi Nan Sheng and Shi Jingxuan's uncle and nephew. Currently, the uncle and nephew were both heavily injured and a large portion of their clothes on their chest were dyed red with blood.
At this time, Shi Jingxuan was already unconscious on the ground, but Shi Nan Sheng was still trying his best to stay awake. However, his life force was constantly flowing away, and the aura around his body was in chaos. This was the sign that the spirit energy in his body was going out of control.
"There's hope!" Yang Tian seemed to have thought of something and suddenly jumped out of his seat. He then took off his storage pouch and took out a small box. After opening it, there was only a golden pill.
"Soul Protecting Pill!" Yang Junshan looked at the familiar dan bead in the box and asked in surprise, "Dad, where did you get this dan bead?"
