Chapter 949: Chapter 951 Facing Off, Little Furry Ball Shows Its Mettle_1

Tu Lie also stood nearby, pretending to be serious as he shouted loudly, "Have you all been practicing your skills in vain on normal days? You’re scared even before seeing the bandits? Buck up, and with one concerted effort, take down the bandits’ den!"

The dark guards of Batianzhai quickly relayed the message to the ears of Batianzhai’s chief, Chen Tianba. Chen Tianba laughed and said to the third-in-command, You Shen, "They are now rashly advancing, and soon we can annihilate them all. You have made a great contribution this time, third brother!"

You Shen smiled wickedly, "My ’children’ haven’t even shown their power yet. Big brother, you’ve got to let them enjoy themselves later."

Chen Tianba raised his hand to pat his shoulder, but when he saw the bugs faintly visible on his body, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.

"When the time comes, you can play all you want, big brother won’t stop you," Chen Tianba said with a smile.

You Shen licked his tongue, and the black beetle with red eyes crawled out of his mouth, looking very excited.

The second-in-command of Batianzhai, Shi Feiming, furrowed his brows, worriedly saying, "Could there be some trick to this? They are not coming here to die; how could they fall into a trap so easily? This isn’t the first time they have come to attack our Batianzhai."

You Shen glanced at him displeased, "That’s because they haven’t encountered me before. My poisonous fog can penetrate through the skin; how can they not be poisoned?"

Chen Tianba chimed in, "Yes, second brother, in the past, third brother wasn’t with us, but now that we have him, they are naturally unprepared. Besides, how could they know about second brother’s prowess?"

Shi Feiming was left at a loss for words, and although not feeling entirely confident, he didn’t continue.

Jiang Yichun and his companions passed through the Fog Array and soon reached the Chaotic Stone Array. This time, Lin Chengjie played a role. After calculating for a while on his own, he then led the way, and everyone quickly got through the Chaotic Stone Array.

Soon, someone reported to Chen Tianba, who muttered, "I didn’t expect them to bring someone who understands Qimen Dunjia this time. Second brother, you’ve got a rival now."

Shi Feiming snorted but didn’t take Lin Chengjie seriously.

Jiang Yichun’s group quickly entered an array of mechanical hidden weapons. A large number of hidden weapons flew out, and Jiang Yichun shouted, "Be careful!" The group got ready defensively, and fortunately, no one was injured.

At this point, the suppressing army had reached halfway up the mountain. Afraid of any changes in the situation, and that further delay might allow the enemy to become more prepared, Jiang Yichun secretly ordered two squads of horsemen to launch a surprise attack. Bai Ruozhu also instructed her dark guards to conceal themselves, showing no mercy to any bandits lurking in the shadows.

Jiang Yichun left Wen Shu with the troops behind, quietly giving him a few instructions, and then he led Bai Ruozhu, Tu Lie, Tu Bai, and a group of elite soldiers to quickly advance up the mountain.

Using their lightness skills, everyone moved swiftly. Jiang Yichun was worried Ruozhu couldn’t keep up and reached to help her.

"No need, I can keep up," Bai Ruozhu declined, shaking her head. In such a situation, it was also a better challenge for her. She didn’t want to hold anyone back anymore.

Jianqi followed closely behind Bai Ruozhu, and even with her fiancé protecting her, he didn’t dare slacken in the slightest.

The vanguard, skilled in lightness technique, quickly approached the stronghold, destroyed several of Batianzhai’s sentries, and killed a few bandits acting as guards.

At that moment, a thunderous cry of war erupted from inside Batianzhai, as Chen Tianba and Shi Feiming led the bandits in a charge, encircling Jiang Yichun and his companions.

"Humph, it’s you again, Jiang Yichun, but you’ve grown increasingly rash. Now you’ve walked right into the trap. After we kill you, we’ll even claim our reward from the Turkic," Chen Tianba said, bursting into laughter with his jowly face quivering.

"Big brother, stop wasting words with him. Otherwise, their reinforcements might catch up," Shi Feiming, who was naturally cautious and suspicious, reminded softly from the side.

A flash of displeasure crossed Chen Tianba’s face, but he quickly concealed it. Bai Ruozhu caught this and surreptitiously tugged at Jiang Yichun’s sleeve.

Jiang Yichun got the hint and spoke up, "So, you’re that afraid of my army? Since that’s the case, I’ll give you the chance to lay down your weapons and surrender. Perhaps you can still save your wretched lives."

The people from Batianzhai burst into laughter, as if they had heard the most ludicrous fairy tale. Chen Tianba, even more triumphant, said, "I’ll return those words to you. If you lay down your arms meekly, perhaps I can grant you a quick death, and you wouldn’t have to suffer at the hands of my third brother’s Poisonous Insects."

"That would be unacceptable!" A somewhat hoarse voice came from behind, as You Shen emerged from the mansion. Surrounding him were numerous Poisonous Insects, and the people of Batianzhai showed signs of awe, hastily making way for him, fearful of accidentally being harmed by the Poisonous Insects.

"My children are hungry, big brother; you can’t be too merciful," You Shen said with a guffaw, pointing ahead and commanding, "Children, go forth and feast to your heart’s content."

Jiang Yichun’s group was intentionally stalling for time, but with You Shen’s appearance, the assault launched immediately, and the Poisonous Insects attacked. Witnessing bugs crawling and flying towards them, everyone couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle and their stomachs churn.

It was then that Bai Ruozhu suddenly sprang into action. She darted to the front and flipped a small porcelain bottle out of her hand, quickly scattering the Drug Powder within onto the ground. With that powder, she drew a long line, effectively separating her companions from Batianzhai’s horsemen.

The others didn’t react much, but You Shen’s expression changed. Most of his Poisonous Insects, upon reaching the line of Drug Powder, hesitated and refrained from crossing, merely hovering behind it.

With a sinister smile on her lips, Bai Ruozhu unleashed a flash of white light; no one saw clearly what it was, but the Poisonous Insects that had crossed the line of Drug Powder fell to the ground, writhing in agony before quickly going still.

The vanguard for eradicating the bandits watched in fright, but upon a closer look, they saw that the bugs seemed to be dead. Someone, braver now, kicked some Earth onto the bodies of the Poisonous Insects, finding that they did not move. The group grew excited and shouted, "The Poisonous Insects are dead, it’s safe now!"

You Shen’s face turned incredibly unsightly, with a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He glared at Bai Ruozhu, his eyes flickering with hatred and greed, "What kind of Poisonous Insect is that? Do you keep them too?"

Bai Ruozhu scoffed coldly and said, "I certainly don’t keep Poisonous Insects; that’s my Spirit Pet, specifically trained to counter Poisonous Insects. Today is the day you meet your end by my hand!"

Chen Tianba and Shi Feiming realized something was wrong and immediately shouted to their followers, "Fight goddammit, attack!"

Shi Feiming moved the quickest, suddenly hurling a concealed weapon straight at Bai Ruozhu. Jiang Yichun and Jianqi quickly stepped forward, clanging as they deflected all the hidden projectiles.

Tu Lie and Tu Bai also intercepted a few of the concealed weapons, and soon they were locked in combat with the charging bandits.

Bai Ruozhu swiftly retreated to the rear. The Drug Powder she had spread earlier worked on Poisonous Insects but not on people. Now the line had been trampled and disturbed, allowing those Poisonous Insects previously cordoned off to take the opportunity to swarm in.
