Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 504 Hard Fight
"Fuck him!"

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, cries of alarm and curses echoed continuously.

Chi Laiyong ignored him and kept walking ahead. After crossing the sand dune in front of him and looking at the boundless desert, a trace of despair finally appeared in his eyes.

"Dutou!"

Ji Shilun, panting heavily, caught up with them.

Chi Laiyong turned and glanced at him, then asked in a low voice, "How many of us are left?"

"Less than ten people!"

Ji Shilun gave a wry smile.

The look of despair on Chi Laiyong's face deepened.

Panque Division was not like Yanji Division, which suffered heavy losses! Although everyone fought all night in the Nine Luminaries Dragon-Trapping Formation, the casualties were not great, and when spread across his city, there were no more than five people.

In other words, he still has at least twenty-five men under his command!
But these people all disappeared within the vast array of yellow sand beneath their feet.

Chi Laiyong's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, muttering unfocusedly, "It's all over! It's all over."

"Come on, Yong!"

Ji Shilun rushed forward and pulled the other man up, shouting, "There's always a way out! When we first entered the formation, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. How terrifying was that? We all dodged it, didn't we? Now that the formation has finally stabilized, how can you give up so easily?"

Chi Laiyong looked up, stunned, and said, "What's the use of calming down? I heard Hu Qidao say that they couldn't even break free from the Earth Mother Hidden Dragon's methods, let alone such an exquisite formation? Brother Ji, we're finished!"

"coward!"

Veins bulged on Ji Shilun's forehead, and his bronze face instantly turned crimson: "What's so difficult about a man dying? Just offer your neck for execution. What's difficult is bringing hope to everyone. Since you dare not leave, I will!!"

As he spoke, he turned his back to Chi Laiyong and shouted loudly to the others.

Chi Laiyong didn't hear a single word clearly, his head was buzzing, but in a daze, he seemed to see the shadow of his grandfather Chi Jingtong behind Ji Shilun.

Did the old man who single-handedly supported the entire Chi family also make such a resolute decision back then?
As he recalled every little detail about his grandfather, Chi Laiyong's eyes reddened.

He grabbed a handful of yellow sand and flung it out violently. He scrambled to his feet like a disheveled stray dog, ignoring the tears and snot on his face, and roared, "Come with me, all of you! I refuse to believe I'll die here!"

Ji Shilun turned around, his expression gradually softening, and stood silently behind Chi Laiyong.

The group walked through the sand, some deep and some shallow, letting the wind and sand hit their faces.

After an unknown amount of time, the sandstorm seemed to weaken, at least visibility was less affected, and someone shouted: "We're out! We're out!"

Chi Laiyong quickly followed the man's gaze and indeed saw the gray, hazy wilderness!

"Look! This formation isn't without boundaries; we've broken through!"

Ji Shilun shouted excitedly and rushed ahead.

"They're out! They're out!"

The others followed closely behind, their faces beaming with the joy of escaping a desperate situation.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of shouts and screams erupted!
Everyone paused in their tracks.

As Chi Laiyong stared at the densely packed hordes of monsters before him, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"careful!"

Shouts and sword cries rang out simultaneously.

Just as a monster whose appearance was obscured pounced in front of Chi Laiyong, it was shredded to pieces by the sharp sword light.

"Miss Tang Tang?"

Chi Laiyong couldn't help but look at the slender figure in front of him.

Tang Xueyan looked at him and frowned: "There are monsters everywhere here, don't just stand there!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Laiyong subconsciously looked around.

"kill!"

A resolute roar came from afar, and a figure charged fearlessly towards the horde of beasts.

Halfway there, the red hyena leaped into the air, its sharp front paws reflecting a blinding blood-red light in the sunlight, and a deflated head was tossed high into the air like a punctured balloon.

"brute!"

Two demon-suppressing cultivators nearby, their eyes bloodshot with rage, charged at the red-hyena without regard for their own lives.

However, in just a moment, the two were separated and surrounded by the surging beast tide, unable to move, and eventually turned into mutilated corpses.

When Chi Laiyong witnessed this scene, his face turned deathly pale.

At this moment, how could he not understand?

The Demon Suppression Camp was blocked by the Yellow Sand Formation and had already been overtaken by the beast tide! Leaving the formation would not be an escape from death, but rather a plunge into an even more desperate hell!
"Lai Yong, there are too many monsters! We can't afford to fight them!"

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Ji Shilun quickly stepped forward to remind him.

Chi Laiyong broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know how many people the Demon Suppression Camp had left, but no matter how many, they couldn't possibly fight a 100,000-strong beast tide from Calabash Valley in the open field.

Not to mention that behind the Calabash Valley beast tide, there is a brand new super beast tide!

At this moment, the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin!

Chi Laiyong quickly scanned the battlefield, gritted his teeth, and said, "Follow me, we'll break out from the southwest!"

After saying that, he looked at Tang Xueyan and called out, "Miss Tang, come along too!"

Tang Xueyan followed without much hesitation.

In any case, it's better for a group of people to break through than for one person to sit and wait for death.

Just then, the agile red hyena seemed to notice their movements, and it broke away from the others and ran over.

As it took the lead, dozens of red hyenas followed closely behind.

"damn it!"

Chi Laiyong cursed angrily and threw two darts.

The explosive talisman detonated, causing some chaos among the dogs.

But the lead red hyena was completely unaffected, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the dust and continued its pursuit.

"Beast!"

At that moment, a loud shout rang out.

A golden figure was reflected in the red hyena's pupils, and then its entire body exploded into pieces with a loud "boom".

"Commander Luo?"

Chi Laiyong and the others were overjoyed and shouted in unison.

Luo Silin ignored them and landed in front of Tang Xueyan. His sharp features softened. "Are you alright?"

Tang Xueyan looked at him, unsure of what to say.

"Look at the sky!"

Ji Shilun suddenly shouted, and everyone hurriedly looked up. They saw a huge white snake belly appearing in the clouds.

A green figure hovered high in the sky, its voice both loud and heavy: "All cultivators of my Demon Suppression Camp, do not linger. From this moment on, take escaping for your lives as your mission! Go as far as you can, and I will see you off."

"It's the commander!"

Chi Laiyong stared intently at the sky.

However, upon hearing the word "escape," he was momentarily stunned. The surrounding demon-suppressing camp cultivators erupted in uproar.

Ji Shilun suddenly turned to Chi Laiyong: "Even Hall Master Li said so, the Demon Suppression Camp has been defeated, utterly defeated! Let's go!"

"go!"

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Chi Laiyong shouted loudly.

At the same time, the black water serpent churning in the sky opened its massive, pungent jaws, and a thin stream of water, like a silver thread, cascaded down. In an instant, the flow of water grew stronger, transforming from a thread into a column, and then into a waterfall that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth!

The entire sky seemed to have been pierced by a vast ocean, with towering waves cascading down like an inverted celestial river, a truly terrifying sight.

"Escape Technique! Activate the escape technique immediately!"

The desperate roar of Chi Laiyong was drowned out by the roar of the water.

Fortunately, the cultivators of the Demon Suppression Camp were of one mind and quickly formed hand seals, causing countless streaks of light to scatter and burst forth like startled fireflies.

In comparison, the situation of the monsters is not so good.

Many wild beasts and half-demons cannot fly. Some low-level demons can fly, but they are always a step too slow. They are swallowed up by the raging waves in an instant and can only wail intermittently in the mist.

"It's a real pity that such a strange beast is used by the Li family."

In the dense forest, Qin Zhengyi picked up the array plate from the ground, looked up at the snake's body that was faintly visible in the clouds, and sighed deeply.

Awang, standing nearby, cautiously asked, "Young Master, you've already put away the Earth Collapse and Sky Collapse Formation so quickly. I'm afraid many members of the Demon Suppression Camp will escape."

"A stray dog ​​is no big deal."

Qin Zhengyi waved his hand: "Even if these people escape, they will never return to the Li family's embrace. After all, who would trust a loser?"

After a pause, he explained, "Li Xiangming was willing to release the beast tide of Calabash Valley in order to let the Demon Suppression Camp escape first. He must be facing a greater threat. If we continue to stay here, it will be a loss for us."

"Your insight is excellent, young master."

Awang quickly flattered him.

Qin Zhengyi, however, felt a little lost at this moment: "Li Xiangming didn't leave directly, but instead took the initiative to cover the cultivators of the Demon Suppression Camp, which was beyond my expectations. I originally thought that this person only cared about interests, but now it seems that he also has some sincerity. If we can be friends, it would be very good."

A-Wang scratched his head. He really couldn't understand his young master's thoughts. At a time like this, he was still thinking about making friends.
Of course, he didn't dare to refute it, and instead asked, "So where do we go now?"

"Let's go to Monkey Valley!"

Qin Zhengyi withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Since Li Xiangming has risked his life, this is another opportunity for us! If we destroy Monkey Valley, the Li family's ten-year plan in Puyin Mountain will be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Awang gasped.

Monkey Valley is currently empty!
The Li family is too far away to help those in need, and the Demon Suppression Camp has already collapsed. Even Li Xiangming may not be able to escape the encirclement of the Bone-Melting Demon Cultivator.

Attacking Monkey Valley at this time was perfectly timed.

Young Master, every move you make hits the Li family's Achilles' heel with pinpoint accuracy!
"Oh!"

"cough"

As the smoke dissipated, Li Xiangming vomited a mouthful of blood, his whole body limp and weak.

However, before they could catch their breath, flames followed one after another. The Crimson Ape Demon strode out from the flames, its giant fist crashing down with a scorching wave of air.

"boom!"

Another loud noise!
Amidst the tremors, Li Xiangming's clothes fluttered as he narrowly dodged the attack. The flying pebbles grazed his cheek, but they did not stir any emotion in his eyes.

Just then, the sound of flapping wings suddenly arose behind them.

Without even turning his body, Li Xiangming summoned a Cold Soul Stone and muttered incantations.

In an instant, a suffocating chill emanated from his body, and a wail came from behind him.

But the crisis was far from over; a series of clicking sounds and sharp whistling noises came from the side of the sky.

Li Xiangming suddenly regained his composure, turned around, and thrust out with a palm strike.

The six "dragons" unleashed their magical power with tremendous speed, crashing violently into a slender skeleton of a corpse vulture.

The skeleton seemed to be alive, with ghostly blue phosphorescent flames dancing in its eye sockets, and its three-zhang-long gray-white bone wings were covered with cracks and moss-like humus.

At this moment, the bone wings slightly closed, and then suddenly flapped, repelling all six "dragon" magical powers.

Li Xiangming's expression remained unchanged; this wasn't the first time he'd witnessed this scene.

The flesh and blood on this demon's body were almost completely rotten, especially its wings, which were bare and skeletal, with only a few sparse feathers remaining at the tips, seemingly testifying that it once had a healthy body.

However, its physical deformities did not diminish its strength. This Corpse Vulture was a mid-stage Bone Fusion demonic beast!
Li Xiangming's attempt to use the "Ice-Dissolving and Soul-Melting Technique" in front of him was tantamount to courting his own demise.

But he had no choice!

Because, in addition to the Crimson Ape Demon and the Corpse Vulture, there was also a Yin Sha Ghost Bat in the early stage of Bone Fusion attacking him.

The shrieks of the Yin Sha Ghost Bats have a soul-stealing effect. Li Xiangming has suffered greatly from this before and dares not let the other party get close again. The "Ice Melting and Soul-Melting Technique" is his only countermeasure.

Fortunately, the demon cultivator's intelligence was limited, and he did not take the opportunity to interrupt him.

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

After a brief exchange with the Corpse Vulture, Li Xiangming immediately flew into the air, seeking a moment to catch his breath.

He fought for a long time in the Nine Luminaries Dragon-Trapping Formation, and despite taking Qi-replenishing pills many times, his magical power was still running out.

To cover the retreat of the demon-suppressing camp cultivators, he ordered the Blackwater Serpent to use its innate divine power. However, the Blackwater Serpent's demonic power had not yet recovered, so he cast a spell from the side, manipulating the water flow to submerge the beast tide, and even used the old power of the Returning to the Void talisman.

Suddenly, powerful Corpse Vultures and Yin Sha Ghost Bats emerged from the beast tide.

Needless to say, this was another wave of beasts, the first of which were Bone-Melting Beasts to arrive.

Li Xiangming was chased so hard he was jumping up and down, suffering terribly, that he didn't even have time to use his Green Cloud Flying Boat to break through the encirclement.

"If the Weeping Spirit Desolate Heavenly Chain is here..."

Li Xiangming looked down at the three bone-melting demonic beasts below, feeling somewhat distressed.

He knew he was no match for Guan Dongqing, but with his natal magic weapon, he still had room to maneuver. Unfortunately, the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope had been sent to Guan Dongqing and had not yet been fully repaired.

This also led to a significant drop in his combat effectiveness.

"boom!"

Just as Li Xiangming was changing his mind, the ground not far away suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, the Centipede Poisonous Granny burst through the sand, her wrinkled face emitting a "squeak, squeak" laugh. A gaping maw opened in her chest and abdomen, with countless segmented limbs wriggling like hairs along its edges, making her look terrifying.

"Taoist priest?"

Li Xiangming was shocked. In his sight, the Green Sheep Taoist clearly passed by the huge mouth dripping with poisonous saliva, a close call!
Knowing the danger, Qingyang Daoist held his breath and focused his mind. He lightly touched the air with his toes, his body moving like a crane, constantly shuttling between the dozens of limbs wielded by the Hundred-Legged Poisonous Woman.

"Ho ho."

Upon seeing this, the Centipede Poison Granny let out a hoarse, eerie laugh. Then, with a shudder, a thick, dark green poisonous mist erupted, causing the air to hiss and corrode wherever it passed.

Qingyang Daoist's expression changed slightly, and he quickly distanced himself.

Even though he hadn't come into contact with the poisonous fog, his vision suddenly went black, and his body swayed precariously like a kite with a broken string.

"Taoist Priest!!"

Li Xiangming's eyes were bloodshot as he activated the last Instantaneous Movement Talisman and flew towards Qingyang Daoist.

After the Nine Luminaries Dragon-Trapping Formation was broken, he originally wanted the Taoist priest to leave first, but the Taoist priest insisted on staying to help him. If the Taoist priest died here, it would be because of him. No matter what, he could not accept this outcome.

"Watch out, Xiangming!"

Just then, Li Xiangyu's panting voice rang out.

Li Xiangming immediately sensed danger and stopped.

But it was too late. The Centipede Poisonous Granny turned her head, her turbid pupils revealing a mocking expression. Suddenly, a large mound swelled up in the sand beneath her, and the Xuanjia Rhinoceros, carrying sand and stones, soared into the sky.

That ten-foot-long horn was no more than three feet away from Li Xiangming's heart!

"It's over!"

Despair flashed through Li Xiangming's mind. In his current state, he had no chance of escaping this meticulously planned and fatal blow.

In the nick of time, several wisps of black smoke, like the hands of the underworld, dragged Li Xiangming into the void.

A gentle breeze swept across the field, and a piece of clothing torn by the unicorn slowly drifted down.
