Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 550 I Will Also Give You a Chance to Live
"What can I do for you, young lady?"

Below the city gate, Gu Kong looked at Murong Yan.

"I want to know what realm the innate martial artist who came from the Eight Desolate Domain this time is?"

Upon hearing Murong Yan's question, Gu Kong did not answer, but instead asked, "What is the meaning of your question, Miss?"

"If the innate martial artist who comes is not strong, I might be able to help hold him off for half an hour."

"Can you hold off a Xiantian expert?"

Gu Kong's eyes showed suspicion. The woman in front of him was at a similar level to himself, both at the first rank. For innate martial artists, there was no difference between the first rank and the ninth rank.

He didn't believe that a first-grade martial artist could delay a master of innate martial arts for half an hour.

"This person must have just entered the Innate Realm not long ago. If he has reached the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, I can only delay him for a quarter of an hour at most."

Murong Yan knew that the other party would not easily believe her, so she said quietly, "Although I have not entered the Innate Realm, I cultivate a special soul technique that can affect the soul of an Innate Realm martial artist, causing them to fall into an illusion."

After Murong Yan finished speaking, she blinked her beautiful eyes behind her veil: "Your Excellency might as well take a look at where you are right now."

"where is it?"

Gu Kong was taken aback. He looked around and his expression changed instantly. He realized that he was ten zhang away from the city gate.

But just before the woman reminded him, he was still below the city gate.

Fantasy!

Gu Kong thought of the illusion the woman had just mentioned, so he had unknowingly fallen into her illusion. What kind of soul technique was this that could make him fall into it without him even realizing it?

Is it possible for someone below the Innate level to cultivate spiritual techniques?

However, now is not the time to think about these things. The woman's soul illusion technique is so powerful that a bold idea came to his mind.

"It's useless. My illusion can catch people without them even realizing it, provided there is no danger. Once there is any dangerous behavior, even a Xiantian martial artist can sense it."

Murong Yan shook her head slightly. The difference between a Xiantian martial artist and a Rank 1 martial artist, besides the difference in strength, is that a Xiantian martial artist has a sixth sense when sensing deadly danger.

"I can only delay, but only if I am given an environment where I can not be interrupted."

"Alright, leave this to me. Is there anything else you need?" Gu Kong no longer doubted the woman's words.

"If there were any pills that could restore the soul, that would be even better."

Entering-level martial artists do have a soul, but they cannot manipulate their soul like innate martial artists because their soul is too weak.

"I will provide the elixirs."

Gu Kong readily agreed. He was responsible for guarding Qianye City, and under special circumstances, the pills in the pharmacies of Qianye City could be used directly, and this was a special circumstance.

……

……

That night, the moonlight was bright.

Outside Chiba Castle, the earth shook violently.

Nearly a hundred black dots rapidly approached the city gate.

Gu Kong stood on the city wall, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly, and his gaze unconsciously glanced at Murong Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the city gate.

"coming!"

These words were a reminder to the others present, and also to inform Murong Yan.

"Chiba Castle, take Chiba Castle, and massacre the city according to the rules!"

A thousand feet away, Xu Ke looked at Qianye City with a cruel expression on his face, while the warriors behind him also had greed in their eyes.

The benefits of massacring a city are no secret among the warriors of the Eight Desolate Domains. The resources that can be gained from a single massacre are equivalent to the savings accumulated over ten or even several decades.

"Lord Xu, leave Chiba City to us. After the city falls, we will collect the beauties in the city for you."

An old man spoke with a flattering expression. Having followed this Lord Xu for several months, they knew him well. He was a lecherous man who couldn't be happy without women around him.

"Go."

Tsui Hark's eyes gleamed with malice. This wasn't the first time he had massacred a city. Every time he breached a city, he would wantonly humiliate the noble ladies of the so-called martial arts families within, giving him endless pleasure.

He was born ordinary, and even at fifty years old, he was only at the first rank. At this rate of cultivation, he would never have the chance to step into the Innate Realm in his lifetime. However, the war between the Eight Desolate Domains and the Canglan Domain gave him an opportunity. Thanks to his desperate efforts on the battlefield in the early stages, and by finding two bottles of precious pills on the corpse of a fallen Innate Martial Artist, he was able to break through to the Innate Realm.

After reaching the Innate Realm, the first thing he did upon returning to his hometown was to slaughter all the major families in the city who looked down on him. As for the women in those families, he raped and killed them all.

During this process, Tsui Hark discovered that his own level of understanding had actually improved, which made him ecstatic.

He had never thought he could reach the Innate Realm, so he didn't know much about the cultivation of Innate Martial Artists. However, he had heard a saying that the soul is extremely important for the cultivation of Innate Martial Artists.

Satisfying one's desires is also a way to enhance one's spiritual growth.

Hundreds of warriors from the Eight Desolate Domains headed straight for Thousand Leaf City. When they saw that the city gate was unguarded, they were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't care. With Lord Xu there, the warriors of Thousand Leaf City couldn't cause any trouble.

As hundreds of warriors from the Eight Desolate Domains entered the city, Gu Kong and his group also appeared and engaged in battle with them.

Xu Ke looked down at the battle below with disdain; a bunch of ants were still putting up a stubborn resistance.

However, he was in no hurry to make a move; he would let these ants fight it out.

Tsui Hark hovered in the air, like a god, while on the battlefield below, the warriors of the Eight Desolate Domains gradually gained the upper hand...

At the city gate, Murong Yan, pale-faced, swallowed a pill. Beside her, Su Qin was watching her surroundings warily. A quarter of an hour had passed, and the innate martial artist, trapped in the princess's illusion, had not yet noticed anything amiss.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...

Inside the city, Gu Kong had already killed dozens of martial artists. He was panting heavily and immediately took out a pill to replenish his energy.

The innate martial artist from the Eight Desolate Domain did not intervene. They currently held the advantage in this battle, and if they could delay for another quarter of an hour, their senior brothers would arrive.

"Lord Xu, save me!"

The warriors of the Eight Desolate Domains panicked. They thought that with Lord Xu in charge, the warriors of Thousand Leaf City would be trembling and only able to exert half of their strength. However, to their surprise, the warriors of Thousand Leaf City were not affected at all. Seeing that the situation was going against them, Lord Xu remained unmoved in the sky.

"call out!"

As Gu Kong's long sword fell, the old man who had just cried for help was decapitated. He looked up at Xu Ke, who was completely unaware, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't woken up this innate martial artist from the Eight Desolate Domain.

puff!
At the corner of the city gate, Murong Yan could no longer hold back. Her lips parted slightly, and a mouthful of bright red blood gushed out, staining her clothes and the blue stone in front of her. "Miss!"

Su Qin hurriedly helped her young mistress up, and at that moment, a terrifying aura emanated from Xu Ke high in the sky.

"You have quite the nerve to dare to mock me!"

Xu Ke's eyes were filled with rage, and his gaze immediately locked onto Murong Yan at the corner of the city gate. He had actually fallen for the illusion of a rank-1 martial artist, which was a great humiliation for him.

Although they had the upper hand, the warriors of Qianye City showed no joy; instead, their eyes were filled with fear. On the contrary, the warriors of the Eight Desolate Domain, who had suffered heavy casualties, were overjoyed. Lord Xu had finally reacted.

Su Qin supported her young mistress, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Gu Kong not far away. He had promised that reinforcements would arrive in half an hour, but half an hour had already passed. Where were the reinforcements?

"You used an illusion to bewitch me for half an hour, hoping someone would come to my aid?" Xu Ke looked at the battlefield and instantly understood everything. He burst into laughter: "Don't dream! Your reinforcements are currently dealing with the warriors of my Eight Desolate Domain in Cangyun City and Luofeng City, a hundred miles away. You want to reinforce this place? Dream on!"

Upon hearing this, the warriors of Chiba Castle, both on and below the city walls, instantly felt utterly hopeless, and despair overwhelmed everyone like a tidal wave!

Without reinforcements, their fate was already sealed.

"You cowardly, hiding-your-faced wench, I'd like to see just how ugly you are that you dare not show your face to anyone!"

Xu Ke's aura surged toward the city gate, transforming into a gust of wind that instantly blew away the veil covering Murong Yan's face.

For a moment, Chiba Castle seemed to fall silent.

The moonlight seemed to freeze at that moment, just to reflect that peerless beauty.

Her features were as cool and aloof as the moon, exquisite and flawless, and the slight furrowing of her brows due to her injury added a touch of delicate fragility.

Many martial artists in the city, including the enraged Tsui Hark, were momentarily stunned at that moment.

Murong Yan instinctively tried to raise her hand to cover herself, but she was too weak to move.

This hint of vulnerability instantly ignited a deeper wickedness and greed in Tsui Hark's heart. His anger was instantly replaced by another kind of filthy desire. He never expected that there would be such a peerless beauty in Chiba City.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Tsui Hark exclaimed "Good!" three times, his gaze lingering on Murong Yan like a venomous snake. "She is indeed a beauty that could topple kingdoms. I cherish beauties the most."

With a sinister grin, Tsui Hark stretched out his large hand and grabbed directly at Murong Yan!
"Miss, let's go!"

Su Qin grabbed her princess's arm and quickly retreated.

"Want to run?"

Tsui Hark's eyes held a hint of contempt. If he hadn't been afraid of hurting this stunning beauty, his palm strike would have been enough to kill both of them.

"Come on!"

Gu Kong roared at Murong Yan and charged at Xu Ke in the air with his sword. He didn't know the origin of this beautiful woman, but she had chosen to delay in the city for half an hour because she trusted him. Now that no reinforcements had arrived, he no longer hoped to escape. He could only hope to create an opportunity for the woman to escape.

It wasn't just Gu Kong who made the move; several other martial artists were also involved.

They were powerless against a master of innate martial arts; the only thing they could do was buy time for the others to escape.

"Like an ant trying to shake a tree!"

Tsui Hark sneered. He didn't even need to use martial arts techniques to deal with these ant-like martial artists. He suddenly shook his body, and his surging innate power burst out, turning into a destructive gale!

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Screams rose and fell as Gu Kong was thrown back like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood as his longsword shattered into pieces.

The other warriors who rushed forward were as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of steel. Their bones broke and they fell to the ground in a miserable manner. In just a few breaths, all the warriors who rushed forward were wiped out.

"Leave no one alive in Chiba Castle."

Tsui Hark's voice was like that of a devil, with a cruel laugh. This was an order given to the warriors of the Eight Desolate Domains below. His gaze fell on Murong Yan again: "As for you, my beauty, obediently come with me, and you may still be able to live."

Sensing the desire in the other person's eyes, a chilling despair rose in Murong Yan's heart. She knew very well what would happen if she fell into their hands.

Even if it meant death, she would not allow herself to fall into the hands of the other party. The other party was a Xiantian martial artist, and she could not hesitate at all, otherwise even suicide would be a luxury.

Just as Murong Yan made her decision, an extremely cold voice, like an ancient glacier filled with endless chill, clearly resounded before Qianye City:
"I will also give you a chance to live."

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a kind of majesty that pierced through the soul, causing all the warriors in Chiba City, including the grinning Xu Ke, to freeze in shock!

A figure seemed to tear through the night, appearing without warning above everyone's heads.

Dressed in a green robe, her face unchanged, Murong Yan's beautiful eyes held a dazed look. For a moment, she even wondered if she was hallucinating before she died.

"Lin... Senior Brother Lin!"

Gu Kong, who was barely supporting his body with his right hand, looked at the figure that appeared in the sky and murmured softly, his eyes also filled with disbelief.

Senior Brother Lin, what brings you here?

But what Gu Kong didn't expect was that Senior Brother Lin landed directly at the city gate and helped the stunning woman up.

"Senior Brother Lin...does he know this woman?"

Gu Kong suddenly realized that Senior Brother Lin had come because of this woman.

Such a stunning woman is only worthy of Senior Brother Lin.

But the next moment, a look of guilt appeared on Gu Kong's face. This woman had a relationship with Senior Brother Lin, and he had actually let her stay in the city. If Senior Brother Lin had arrived even a moment later...

"Is everything okay?"

Murong Yan looked at the figure so close to her, then pouted and said, "Something's wrong!"

The dangers and grievances encountered during the past two years of travel, as well as the life-or-death situation just now, all turned into tears in my eyes.

"I'll stand up for you."

Lin Chen gently rubbed Murong Yan's head, then looked at Xu Ke in the air. Xu Ke was pale and looked terrified. As a Xiantian expert, he found himself imprisoned and unable to move.

Facing the terrified Tsui Hark, Lin Chen lightly flicked his finger.

Flames appeared out of nowhere, and all the warriors from the Eight Desolate Domains in the city were engulfed by the flames, including Xu Ke in the air.

The difference was that the warriors of the Eight Desolate Domains in the city were reduced to ashes after a few cries and roars in the flames, but Xu Ke, who was engulfed in flames, never stopped howling.

It wasn't that the flames couldn't kill Tsui Hark, but rather that Lin Chen did it intentionally. He wanted Tsui Hark's soul to be burned away bit by bit, to suffer endless pain, and then to die slowly.

It would be too easy for him to die immediately.
