Li Tiandao looked at the arriving disciples and ordered, "Take the survivors away first."
"Yes."
The disciple responded and began to check on the surviving injured.
Seeing this, Yu Daohan gave Shi Bingzhi a look, signaling him to attack together.
Shi Bingzhi nodded, understanding his intention, and tightened his grip on the cleaver.
Li Tiandao saw their actions and grinned, "Master Yu is still worried about the Chen family, isn't he?"
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud explosion was heard from the Chen family's location in the back mountain.
Yu Daohan's brow furrowed, and he slowly said, "They've started fighting!"
Shi Bingzhi looked towards the back mountain and asked, "Master Yu, what do we do now? Should we help?"
"We must help, but dealing with this guy in front of us is the greatest help."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Daohan swung his Kanglong mace and struck.
Li Tiandao's lips curved upwards, "Your opponent isn't me, you know."
Whoosh—
Just then, a figure suddenly burst out, raising a palm and striking towards him.
Yu Daohan reacted quickly, stomping his foot on the ground to stop himself, and met the incoming attack with his Tianqian palm.
Bang!
A surge of energy scattered, and Yu Daohan frowned, retreating two steps.
The figure that attacked retreated more than four meters.
"What is this!"
Yu Daohan's expression turned solemn. He looked at his palm and saw a red maggot already half-buried in it.
Seeing this, Yu Daohan immediately used his internal energy to force the maggot out of his palm, feeling fortunate.
So close, it was a good thing he had residual Tianqian palm energy.
Although he didn't know the maggot's purpose, it was definitely life-threatening to get it into his palm.
Shi Bingzhi, who was behind him, looked at the figure that suddenly attacked. When he clearly saw who it was, his face was filled with shock, and he immediately shouted, "Chen Shanhe, you're colluding with the Divine Religion!"
Yu Daohan also looked at Chen Shanhe, who had suddenly attacked, his face grim, "Chen Shanhe, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Shanhe looked at Yu Daohan with killing intent in his eyes, "I mean to kill you."
Li Tiandao looked as if his scheme had succeeded, grinning, "Patriarch Chen, hold on for a moment. Once I get the compass, I'll come to assist."
Chen Shanhe glanced at Li Tiandao next to him and said unhappily, "I hope you keep your word."
Li Tiandao smiled faintly, "Of course, our Divine Religion always keeps its promises."
Hearing their conversation, Yu Daohan roughly understood their intentions and roared, "Chen Shanhe, do you know what you're doing? If you hand over the compass, you're abandoning the common people of the world!"
Hearing this, Shi Bingzhi behind him looked bewildered and asked, "Master Yu, are you saying the Chen family has a compass?"
Yu Daohan nodded affirmatively, "Although I don't know why, the Chen family does possess a compass. That's why the Divine Religion is attacking the Chen family."
After Li Tiandao left, Chen Shanhe looked at Yu Daohan again, saying coldly, "Master Yu, don't speak so righteously. If a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. This is an eternal truth."
"You!"
Yu Daohan clenched his Kanglong mace, his mind racing.
If only Li Tiandao had come alone, then his strength and that of Duke Chen should have been enough to hold them off.
But the situation was different now. This traitor in front of him must have revealed all of the Chen family's defenses, and perhaps even poisoned Duke Chen.
He had to quickly deal with this traitor and go to help.
Although he had a feud with the Chen family, he had to put it aside for the sake of the common people.
Yu Daohan tightened his grip on the Kanglong mace and struck.
Chen Shanhe showed no fear, drawing the curved saber at his waist and clashing with it.
Clang—
The two cold weapons clashed in the air, emitting a deafening crisp sound.
Shi Bingzhi intended to use this opportunity to leave and check the current situation of the Chen family.
However, suddenly arriving Divine Religion apostles swarmed towards him.
Over thirty experts from the Earth Ranking, and three from the Heaven Ranking.
This lineup was enough to give Shi Bingzhi a headache for a while.
Yu Daohan and Chen Shanhe fought fiercely, their every move a killing blow.
Both sides intended to quickly take the other's head.
Yu Daohan's attacks grew more ferocious, while Chen Shanhe retreated repeatedly, his expression becoming grim.
Damn it, this kid has grown to such an extent.
If he were allowed to grow for a few more years, who in this world would be his match?
With the glint of swords and the flash of blades, the speed of their exchanges quickened, becoming imperceptible to the naked eye.
Chen Shanhe knew that in terms of pure martial arts, he was no match for him now. He could only create distance and engage in a war of attrition.
Yu Daohan grinned. How could he not know what this old fox was thinking?
Creating distance to fight with spells? I'm famous in the martial world for my spellcasting!
I'm not afraid of anyone when it comes to spells!
Chen Shanhe retreated, placing his hands on the ground, and suddenly roared, "Gu, come!"
A sky-shattering roar echoed, and the earth seemed to tremble.
"Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...!"
The sound of countless insect wings flapping reached his ears.
Yu Daohan instinctively looked up.
He saw that the sky had changed color, and the sky above was already covered by black dots.
"What is this!"
Yu Daohan's expression changed drastically.
These were not black dots, but Gu insects.
Looking at the ground behind Chen Shanhe, it was already crawling with Gu insects.
If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would faint on the spot.
The sheer number could be counted in the tens of millions.
A somewhat sinister smile appeared on Chen Shanhe's face, "This is my Chen family's territory. Here, I am king. Today is your death day."
"Go, my children!"
The Gu insects in the sky and on the ground suddenly swarmed forward.
"Damn it!"
Yu Daohan cursed, forming a hand seal with his fingers, taking a deep breath, and spewing out a torrent of flames.
The overwhelming flames surged towards the approaching Gu insects.
For a moment, the sound of insects exploding from the flames could be heard, and the smell of burning filled the air.
Chen Shanhe did not care that these Gu insects were being scorched before they could even get close, and continued his fierce assault.
As long as he could kill Yu Daohan, everything was worth it.
Meanwhile, Yu Daohan, after casting the Flame Swallowing Art once, was already preparing to cast it again.
He could now cast the Flame Swallowing Art infinitely.
Every insect feared fire, and Gu insects were no exception.
Even though these Gu insects could kill people invisibly, it was only if they could get close.
Usually, when fighting with Gu insects, it's done when the opponent is caught off guard, delivering a surprise attack.
Once the Gu insect is inside the opponent's body, victory is eighty percent secured.
In summary, playing with Gu insects is all about achieving victory through surprise.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful a Gu insect is, it's still an insect. It will die when it encounters fire!
As for Chen Shanhe, his eyes were now bloodshot, and he didn't care about any of this.
As long as he could kill Yu Daohan, he didn't care about the cost.
Yu Daohan knew in his heart that this couldn't go on.
Although casting the Flame Swallowing Art prevented the Gu insects from getting close, continuing this indefinitely would be unbearable for anyone.
