Chapter 438 - 295: Acting Turns Real, Single-Handed Massacre

Very soon, Qi Konghen and Qi Yuewu were seriously injured.

Pei Qin stepped on Qi Konghen’s body and looked down, his eyes abruptly filled with Condensing Light.

He thrust his spear to open Qi Konghen’s robe, and half of the Spirit Contract Race’s sacred artifact, Pisces Contract Language, fell out.

"Pisces Contract Language!" Pei Qin exclaimed in delight.

"Sacred artifact!" Qi Konghen was shocked and tried to grab it.

"Hmph!"

Pei Qin snorted coldly, lifted his foot, and kicked hard; Qi Konghen flew like a ragged bag and could no longer grab the sacred artifact.

"Half...?" Pei Qin picked up the Spirit Contract Race’s sacred artifact, frowned slightly, and suddenly looked to the left front.

In the front left was Spirit Contract Race’s Qi Yuewu.

The other half must be on her!

...

Beyond Xiqu Bay, atop an ancient tree.

Chu Ming, dressed in black, stood beneath the cold wind.

Looking up, snowflakes fell.

The snow from Qin Capital had reached here.

[Sword Gourd Spirit] detected, ten miles away, the Wolf Race led by Chaobei Ridge was approaching.

"Ten miles..."

Swiftly, Chu Ming took out the Wind Spirit Race’s communication leaves, mentally communicated: "Five thousand bandits, charge from the front, others flank in three directions, protect the Spirit Contract Race’s escape west."

Helping when Spirit Contract Race was on the brink of annihilation had a more taming effect.

South of the bay.

Feeng Zhi put away the leaves and waved his hand grandly.

"The fifth, sixth, and seventh camps, follow me to attack!"

"The eighth, ninth, and tenth bandits, flank from three directions!"

"Attack!"

The Wind Spirit Race commanded twenty thousand bandits, divided into ten camps, two thousand bandits per camp.

The first four camps guarded the four corners of the tribe’s territory, remaining immobile, while the other six camps were all brought here.

These bandits didn’t know what to rob; as long as the boss said charge, they’d follow, fight until they couldn’t, then run—such was the nature of bandits.

"Charge!"

From all directions, a dense mass of bandits emerged from the forest like ants, attacking the bay.

"Hmph, a bunch of bandits dare come out!"

The Huang Forbidden Army pursued along the way, killing countless heedless bandits, fear shuttered.

But seeing the swarming bandits, charging heedlessly, they were still shocked.

"Form a formation!"

"A motley crew, attack!"

The bandits were too numerous, forcing the Huang Forbidden Army to abandon killing the Spirit Contract Race and instead form a military formation.

Yet, among the Huang Forbidden Army, three people saw these bandits charging and weren’t surprised.

Finally, they came!

Cavalry Captain Pei Qin’s heart wavered, then he gave an eye signal to Pei Hu and Pei Chuan.

The two understood, feigning command of the Huang Forbidden Army’s formation.

They had already conspired with the Blood Evil Sect to use these bandits as cover, hold off the Huang Forbidden Army, and rescue the Spirit Contract Race; its sacred artifact was already theirs.

Thus, they misunderstood, thinking these bandits led by the Wind Spirit Race were sent by the Blood Evil Sect.

And this was precisely the effect Chu Ming wanted on the ancient tree beyond the bay.

"Charge!"

"Those wearing armor, it isn’t a loss to kill!"

"..."

The bandits varied in quality; few recognized that the thousand armored troops were the Huang Forbidden Army.

They only knew if they didn’t kill the armored ones, they’d die themselves!

Overall, these bandits couldn’t compare with the Huang Forbidden Army in strength; many weren’t even Martial Artists.

But they won by numbers; even killing took the Huang Forbidden Army significant time.

Wind Spirit Race elders Feeng Zhi and Feeng Ying disguised as bandits, mingling among them.

"Go!"

Quickly, the bandits, driven by momentum, forced the Huang Forbidden Army into defensive retreat.

Feeng Zhi and Feeng Ying took the chance to reach the Spirit Contract Race: "Go, escape west!"

Spirit Contract Race’s old woman and elders Qi Konghen and Qi Yuewu were momentarily stunned.

Why were these bandits helping them?

"Go!"

Old woman Qi Lanshui didn’t hesitate, climbed onto the injured Demon Wolf, and in the chaos led the tribe to escape west.

Qi Konghen and Qi Yuewu clasped their hands to thank Feeng Zhi and Feeng Ying: "Thank you!"

With that, the two also commanded their tribesmen to escape west.

"These bandits came to save the Spirit Contract Race!" Yang Rong quickly realized something amiss.

The bandits weren’t here to loot, they were targeting the Spirit Contract Race.

"Lord Yang, I’ll take men to pursue from the flank!" Cavalry Captain Pei Qin faked urgency

"Good, Lord Pei only needs to halt those Spirit Contract Race, Tang Run Captain Tang will lead a squad of Cyan Wolf Riders overnight, none of these bandits can escape!"

Tang Run? Cyan Wolf Riders?!

Pei Qin heard this and was shocked.

He was unaware of this.

"Rest assured, Lord Yang, none will escape!"

Both cavalry captains, yet there’s a power gap, Tang Run is stronger than them.

Hence, he must secure the other half of the Spirit Contract Race’s sacred artifact before Tang Run arrives, then let the Blood Evil Sect depart to avoid exposure.

Time was tight, Pei Qin led Pei Hu, Pei Chuan, and a hundred Huang Forbidden Army to circle the flank, intending to bypass the bandits.

To the left side.

"Charge!" More bandits charged out.

Wind Spirit Race elders Feeng Yi, Feeng Man, and Feeng Chong led bandits, blocking Pei Qin’s path.

"Slay!"

Pei Qin shouted coldly, wielding his spear into the bandits.

Outside the bay, atop the immense tree’s peak, Chu Ming lightly stepped on the leaves, his figure flickering.

That Pei Qin needed resolving first.

Upon stamping on the leaves and landing, Chu Ming had already transformed from a black-clad youth into the guise of Lang Lin from the Wolf Race, whom he had slain, wearing the Wolf Patterned Crown, blood claws growing from his hands.

He had always known the Wolf Transformation Technique, only he disliked the wolf transformation’s appearance.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

Pei Qin, Pei Hu, and Pei Chuan ferociously slaughtered bandits, unstoppable.

Bandits were still bandits, less organized than scattered soldiers; seeing many companions massacred, they’d turn to flee.

Feeng Yi, Feeng Man, and Feeng Chong blended among them, also pretending to flee.
