Chapter 348: Conflict

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The sky darkened.

The warriors of Xia and Yang Tribe were enjoying the delicacies. With the companion of the young and beautiful ladies, they soon fell into a deep sleep.

The stars were glittering and illuminated the entire mountain.

Amidst the silence, one of the huts in Shangzhang Division was still lit.

"It's Lu of Doulu Tribe and Kang of Lilou Tribe! I am comforted to be able to see both of you leaders!"

Zhang smiled as his eyes glistened.

"The messenger of Xia is about to unveil our secret. How can we not come?"

Lu was a plump person with two thin moustaches above his lips. In such harsh environments, only those in power could have the ability and luxury to become so plump.

"I've brought along my elite warriors this time!"

Kang of Lilou Tribe laughed. "The Xia Tribe has already offended us for even having the intention to kill our water god. The water god will not spare him..."

"All of this is for the water god!"

Even though they might have their own internal conflicts from time to time, these 3 leaders could finally combine forces to go against an external adversary. "We have to give it our all to defend this piece of fertile land given to us by the water god, even if it means going against Xia!"

"Fight! Fight!"

As the 3 leaders walked out, they could see rows of warriors standing neatly under the moonlight. They were all equipped with bronze knives and arrows carved from bones, and their eyes were burning with a passion to fight.

"The warriors of Xia are mostly drunk, and this will be as simple as slaughtering pigs!"

As the leader, Zhang picked up a bronze knife for himself as well. "It will be a simple task to kill all of them!"

"Alright! Let's go!"

Kang and Lu laughed too as they picked up their weapons.

To be the leader of the people, they had to have wisdom as well as combat power and the bravery to kill during a war!

Even Lu had to force himself to be like this.

Otherwise, how would his people trust him to lead them to survival in this harsh world?

"Hmm... They can survive, so why are they courting death?"

At this point in time, 2 people walked out from the shadows.

Xia Qi wielded a long spear and sighed.

"It's him!"

Zhang scrutinised Xia Qi and exclaimed loudly. "He is the messenger of Xia. Kill him!"

Regardless whether their plan was exposed or not, they had no other choice but to attack.

"Kill!"

At this point in time, 3 elite warriors were surrounding Xia Qi. They were all like ferocious tigers and leopards. With a roar, they came closer to him.

"Haha... I am a noble tribe member of Xia and have the blood of the gods in me. How will the few of you be my match?"

Xia Qi laughed. As he lunged his spear out, he killed his way into the soldiers.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As the spear struck the bronze knives, sparks flew and one of the warriors was flung backwards with his blood spewing everywhere.

'Is this... acting?'

Seeing how Xia Qi was acting to be a normal tribe member, he was speechless before he came to a realization. 'In a foreign realm, we will have to follow the rules of the realm. To the rest of them, Xia Qi is just a messenger. He would have to explain his powerful might if he were to reveal his true identity by recklessly using his powers as a dream master, the realm would also take notice and go against him!'

With this thought, Fang Yuan held back.

If such an experienced dream master in the Illusionary Divine stage had to be so careful, even though Fang Yuan had restored all his powers, how could he afford to be arrogant?

"Ah... Where is Yu Xi?"

Witnessing this scene, Lu exclaimed as another warrior rushed towards Xia Qi.

Xia Qi raised his spear and countered. Yu Xi did not dodge but stood firm.

"Clang!"

As the long spear pierced onto Yu Xi's body, there was a metallic clang. The spear started to bend before snapping.

"Impenetrable? With strengthened magical abilities? You're a witch?!"

Xia Qi was shocked for a moment before looking at Lu and Kang. "It's another sin for you guys to collaborate with witches!"

"Hmph! The laws of Da Xia does not apply to us!"

Seeing this scene, Kang looked to the corner of his eye and clapped his hands as well. Two priests walked forward and green and yellow runes started to glow all over their bodies.

"Rumble!"

As the ground shook, a few dirt walls emerged.

Following, a few vines covered in black thorns appeared from the ground. Like a python, these vines struck towards Xia Qi.

"Divine Technique? Techniques from bloodline?"

Xia Qi wielded a bronze dagger and defended himself. "Yuan, come on!"

"Kill!"

Fang Yuan roared. As he killed his way into the soldiers, he held a warrior in his right hand and used him as a human hammer. Spinning him around, there were many cries heard from the warriors.

"Zhang... don't you leave!"

As he located the direction of the 3 leaders, Fang Yuan started to rush towards them.

"Why is there another one?"

Seeing how Fang Yuan used the warriors as a human hammer and shield and killing his way into the soldiers like a thousand-men-strong army, the 3 of them were startled and froze with fear.

Such a person was comparable to a 10,000-man army. It was extremely rare and there would usually be only one such person in a huge division. Most of the time, that person would already be the leader!

In such a small group of people, it was extremely abnormal for there to be two persons who were so powerful.

"Did the Xia Division already detected something fishy and have sent their army over?"

Kang screamed.

"It's useless to think about all of these now... Head Priest!"

Gazing at Fang Yuan and Xia Qi, Zhang seemed depressed.

"Leader... based on our current combat power, we can only manage one of them!"

The Head Priest of Shangzhang Tribe had white hair and his face was filled with wrinkles. He was almost bald and his hands were as skinny as that of chickens. It was unbelievable that he could live to such an age of about 80 years old.

"He shall be the one!"

Zhang pointed at Fang Yuan.

"Keke..."

The Head Priest let out a weird laughter, revealing his unpleasant-looking teeth. As he retrieved a figurine made of grass, he faced Fang Yuan and started to mumble his chant.

A black fog appeared, gathering around the straw figurine. The straw figurine started to change, and its appearance started to become more and more like Fang Yuan.

'Eh? Is this... stealing my spiritual aura? Is this one of the curses in witchcraft? Interesting!'

Fang Yuan started to intentionally slow down his actions to allow the priest to execute his curse. Suddenly, the priest started to shake his limbs. As he opened his mouth, a white streak of light shot out and landed on Fang Yuan's shadow.

'Sand Shadow Technique?'

Fang Yuan felt a little confused. Suddenly, his body froze.

"Kill him!"

The surrounding warriors became energetic as they crowded around Fang Yuan.

"All of you are seeking death!"

With a laugh, flames started to flicker on Fang Yuan's bronze sword. With a few slices, 6 warriors around him immediately laid dead on the floor.

"This person... he's extremely strong!"

The Head Priest shrieked. He quickly took out a metal nail, bit his own tongue, smeared the nail in blood and nailed it in the straw figurine.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

In mid-air, there was an extremely strong and invisible force targeted towards Fang Yuan as it shot into his forehead.

Outside his actualised dream world.

Black runes started to appear in mid-air and began to attempt entering the actualised dream world.

As the 8 Gates Sword Array shook, the power of wind, thunder, water and fire swept across the actualised dream world, completely destroying the black runes.

'What's this? 7 Arrows Nail Striking Witchcraft? What a pity... the true aura of a dream master is within the actualised dream world and is constantly under protection...'

Fang Yuan snickered as he looked at the Head Priest.

"Ah... How are you alright?"

The Head Priest was in shock. Within seconds, the straw figurine in his hands started to burn and turned into ash.

From the ashes, a black fog appeared which formed a ferocious looking face. The fog face screamed as it leapt towards the Head Priest.

"Ahh!"

The Head Priest let out a blood-curdling scream. He had a startled expression as he started to claw his own face, creating a bloodied mess. Not long after, he spat out a mouthful of blood as fog and fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Head Priest..."

Zhang's face was filled with fear. How could the Head Priest with witchcraft just die like that? Furthermore, it was a gruesome death!

With such a scene, although Zhang experienced many gruesome events before, he still felt a chill down his spine.

"Let's... retreat first!"

Seeing the ferocious Fang Yuan, Zhang and the few other leaders all had the intention to retreat.

'He's killed by the backlash from intruding my actualised dream world? How boring!'

Seeing this, Fang Yuan's eyes glistened as his skin turned into a metallic hue.

With that, he pounced towards the 3 leaders and was indifferent to the weapons around him. "Don't leave!"

"Clang! Clang!"

As the bone arrows and bronze knives landed on his skin, they could only produce a metallic sound as though he was made up of metal.

"Are you a witch as well?"

Zhang screamed as he countered with a strike of a sword.

Fang Yuan grabbed the sword with his right hand and snapped it effortlessly. With a casual fling, Zhang fell to the ground.

"Ahh... Let's do it or die!"

Lu and Kang exchanged glances as they picked up their weapons. However, to Fang Yuan, they were mere disturbances and were similarly defeated by Fang Yuan.

"Your leaders are in my hands. Surrender now!"

Fang Yuan held the bronze sword to their necks as he hollered loudly.

"Haha... die!"

From the side, Xia Qi had also managed to break out of the crowd and killed two other witches who were executing witchcraft. Snatching a bronze sword from one of the warriors, he sliced the right arm of Yu Xi.

Seeing that their most powerful warrior had been defeated and their leaders captured, the remaining warriors looked at each other in disbelief. One of them released their weapon and his bronze spear fell to the ground.

"What happened?"

The commotion had already awakened the entire division. Wei led a group of warriors with weapons and rushed to the scene.

"Zhang, Lu, Kang... these three leaders have gone against the agreement of the alliance and depended on the demons!"

Xia Qi raised his bronze sword high up and exclaimed.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The warriors of Xia realised =they were tricked from the start. Embarrassed and angry, they chanted loudly.

"This is not possible... my father will not do such a thing..."

In the crowd, there was a desolated cry from a young man.

'F*ck! Why do they think we can kill them so easily. This is not the way to seek death….. They are indeed dumb!'

Xia Qi sent a message to Fang Yuan in secret. 'You've done well to use some of your abilities and not reveal too. Remember that you can at most use your martial arts. Don't reveal too much...'
