Amid the cursing, the Swearing Woman vomited blood, for her cultivation level wasn’t as high as her opponent’s.
Seizing this opportunity, Scholar Guo launched an attack, aiming to finish off the Swearing Woman, "Shameless harpy, soon you’ll be dead and gone, your mouth full of filth, like a mangy old dog baring its teeth, snarling madly!
"Old dog, save your strength! Knowing your days are numbered, there’s a bowl of hot soup waiting in the latrine down at the foothills. Go enjoy a hearty meal while it’s hot! Don’t turn into an evil ghost on the Yellow Springs Road!
"Old dog, why aren’t you speaking? Old dog, don’t just die like this..."
"HUUUUYAAAAH!"
Suddenly, Li Banfeng leaped from a tree, his loud howl interrupting Scholar Guo.
Scholar Guo, seeing this, smiled, "Good timing! Now I’ll see where you..."
Before he could finish, the Literature Cultivator suddenly felt a tightness in his throat.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of intense drumbeats left Scholar Guo suddenly speechless.
It felt as though a knife was stirring inside his head, causing Scholar Guo to lose his balance and nearly fall over.
Chu Shaoqiang and the Martial Cultivator also felt suffocated and short of breath, clueless about the Technique used against them.
Scholar Guo was injured, with blood flowing from both his eyes and ears. Before he had time to recover, Li Banfeng was already on top of him, swinging down a Sickle at his face.
Though he knew the extreme danger, Li Banfeng was Stubbornly Going His Own Way, moving with such speed that Chu Shaoqiang momentarily couldn’t discern his cultivation rank, as the Sickle hammered down on Scholar Guo’s face like rain.
Chu Shaoqiang and Tian Dasong wanted to help, but a sudden force repelled them both, forcing them back as Scholar Guo’s stiff body took another severe blow.
The drumming came from his wife, the force from Hong Ying.
The Portable Residence opened its door for a moment, then closed it immediately. It could only be opened for this brief time, or the Portable Residence itself might be exposed.
The Portable Residence said to the Phonograph and Hong Ying, "I’ve made the necessary adjustments. The rest depends on your abilities."
In that moment of adjustment, his wife and Hong Ying gave it their all, with most of the inflicted damage being shouldered by Scholar Guo alone.
Now, Li Banfeng showed no sign of stopping as he repeatedly slashed at Scholar Guo’s face. Scholar Guo, unable to defend or break free, took countless strikes.
This was the battle strategy agreed upon by his wife and Li Banfeng.
If the enemy enters the ambush zone, with advantageous terrain and distance, victory can be secured through the combination of Techniques.
If the enemy does not enter the ambush zone, with both terrain and positioning inappropriate, Techniques cannot complement each other and would be nullified one by one by a Craftsman Cultivation expert.
In such a scenario, one should not proceed in an orderly fashion. The best choice is to capitalize on the assistance from his wife and Hong Ying, using the speed of the Traveling Cultivator to take out one opponent first.
Li Banfeng chose Literature Cultivator Guo Jinshi to be the first to go down.
Scholar Guo’s injuries were severe, but his cultivation level was high enough that the wounds were not immediately fatal, leaving him with the energy to counterattack.
Dipping his finger in his own blood, he wrote the character for "knife" on Li Banfeng.
Sixth Layer Technique from a Literature Cultivator, a Word Worth a Thousand Gold!
This "knife" character transformed into an actual blade, plunging into Li Banfeng’s body.
Li Banfeng did not dodge or parry, taking the stab head-on; he used his Sickle to hook Scholar Guo’s left eye.
Scholar Guo wrote another "knife" character.
Li Banfeng took another hit, then swung his Sickle again, gouging Scholar Guo’s right eye.
Tian Dasong came forward to grab Li Banfeng but was kicked away by He Yuxiu.
Tian Dasong toppled He Yuxiu, while Zuo Wugang and Bai Bilian desperately clung to Tian Dasong from behind, and others swarmed forward to join the assault.
Scholar Guo wrote the character for "seize," taking away Li Banfeng’s Sickle. Ban Feng then pulled out a shovel, smashing it onto Scholar Guo’s skull.
The Tang Sword took the chance to stab Scholar Guo in the back, and Clock Pendulum wriggled into his collar, slicing Scholar Guo’s throat.
Scholar Guo, using all his strength, wrote twelve "forbidden" characters in one breath. This move was powerful; all Magical Treasures and Weapons became unusable.
Li Banfeng bit down on Scholar Guo’s neck, blood spurting from the wound.
Chu Shaoqiang remained calm. He quickly understood the opponent’s tactic and prepared to use his Magical Treasure to deal with the madman on Scholar Guo’s body.
Chu Huaiyuan appeared before Chu Shaoqiang with a smile.
Chu Shaoqiang emotionlessly said, "What are you doing here?"
Chu Huaiyuan chuckled, "I’ve come to fight you to the death."
Chu Shaoqiang was calm. "You don’t know who I am, and there’s no need to know now. Leave this place quickly."
"I know who you are," Chu Huaiyuan suddenly stopped smiling, her eyes widening as she looked up at him. "Dad, I really am here to fight you to the death."
