Ye Tian looked towards the opposite mountain peak, seeing a figure leaping like lightning, covering several spans in moments, killing all the snipers.
He said gravely, "Xu Longxiao, take your men and leave immediately!"
Guang Ji proclaimed with a Buddhist chant, "Little Ye, Wu Kun, there is no time to set up defenses. I will buy you time. You two escape as quickly as possible."
Ye Tian's hair stood on end as his true energy circulated rapidly. He said lightly, "Master, you are so muddled for your age. Even if I leave today, will they let me go tomorrow? Rather, you are old, and your bones are not tough. Just watch from here."
Xu Longxiao also did not move. He said, "Mr. Ye, you underestimate me, Xu Longxiao, too much. I am a Martial King, after all!"
Li Yuankun sighed, "My combat skills are inferior, but I will not flinch. I will set up a formation here, and you try to hold him off."
Ye Tian let out a long cry and dashed towards the opposite mountain peak, also moving with lightning speed. Xu Longxiao and Guang Ji immediately pursued him. Neither of them was slow, but compared to Ye Tian, there was still a noticeable gap.
Ye Tian covered several hundred meters in over ten seconds. He leaped into the air and lunged at the figure.
The person was strangely built, with grayish-white eyes, covered in fine white fur, and sharp fingernails. He suddenly turned, his claws raking directly towards Ye Tian's chest, intending to dig out his heart.
"Thunder Seal!"
Ye Tian twisted in mid-air and struck with an open palm, hitting the opponent's shoulder. However, he also took a blow to his own shoulder, and blood splattered.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and the person crashed heavily onto the ground. By then, Xu Longxiao and Guang Ji had arrived. They attacked simultaneously, one wielding a monk's knife, the other a dagger, their attacks fierce, fast, and accurate.
Having taken the Thunder Seal, the person's internal energy circulation became erratic, and his movements stiff. Guang Ji severed his left arm with a single stroke.
The person let out a strange cry and kicked Guang Ji flying. But as he lifted his leg, Xu Longxiao's dagger had already pierced his back. He flicked his arm, sending Xu Longxiao flying several meters back, spitting blood.
At this moment, Ye Tian had pounced, activating the Thunder Seal for the second time, this time directly hitting the man's chest.
"Boom!"
It was as if explosives had ignited within the person; his body trembled, and his gaze immediately became vacant.
Guang Ji, enduring the pain, flicked his monk's knife, which pierced directly into the man's head, slicing off one-third of it.
Xu Longxiao also drew his gun and fired over a dozen shots at him until the magazine was empty.
The corpse fell to the ground. The three staggered to their feet, looked at the body, then at each other, and suddenly smiled.
Seeing Ye Tian's shoulder torn open, Xu Longxiao asked, "Are you alright?"
Ye Tian replied, "No bones were broken. A bandage will do."
Then he asked, "And you?"
Xu Longxiao said, "I'm fine. I just didn't expect a Human Immortal to be so terrifying. A casual strike could injure me. If he hadn't been injured first and couldn't exert his full strength, that blow could have killed me."
Guang Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Amitabha, stop your chatter and find a place to rest quickly."
Li Yuankun also rushed over. Seeing that the three were unharmed, he smiled and said, "Three Martial Kings, and the disciples killing a Human Immortal. If this gets out, we will be famous throughout the world."
Ye Tian said, "It's best not to spread this news."
After descending the mountain, Ye Tian found a civilian residence and bandaged his own wounds, also treating Guang Ji and Xu Longxiao.
Once the three had recovered somewhat, Ye Tian said, "The Zhang family's actions must be settled. I will not participate."
Li Yuankun nodded, "Xu Longxiao, this is a matter for your department."
Xu Longxiao replied, "Don't worry, I have already contacted the higher-ups. The Zhang family should be under control now."
Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "If you find the Corpse Worms, have them sent over."
Xu Longxiao looked at him, "You're not going to eat that stuff, are you?"
Ye Tian said, "You wouldn't understand. Corpse Worms are medicine to me. I can use them to refine pills."
Xu Longxiao replied, "Alright, I'll have someone send them."
As soon as his injuries had slightly recovered, Xu Longxiao left. He had to go and oversee the Zhang family's affairs. Ye Tian then took Guang Ji and Li Yuankun to a hotel.
By noon, Xu Longxiao arrived at the hotel, holding a glass box containing over a dozen silver Corpse Worms.
