Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 172 - - Done



At this time, the Xiong Family was extremely cautious, afraid that if he wasn’t careful enough he would attract the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s attention.

At this time, Xiong Ba Zhong could see that Song Wei came here today because he thought Xiong Ba Zhong was here for the Xiong Family, but in reality, he was here because of Yang Tiangang. Although the two of them looked the same, but because of the difference in emphasis, Xiong Ba Zhong seemed to have figured something out.

Thus, butler Xiong looked at Shi Jiutong with a look of pity, and said: “Mr. Song, you must be joking, Xiong Family definitely doesn’t know the ‘Floating Silk Spirit Summoning Technique’. Perhaps, the true origin of this technique is to ask Stone Village Head himself!”

Song Wei nodded his head, and said: “Actually, compared to who exactly Patriarch Xu has been attacked by, this junior is more interested in why Patriarch Xu’s whereabouts were known by so many people!”

As soon as Song Wei finished speaking, not only Xu Sanniang, even Butler Xiong’s face changed as well, but the two of them had no choice but to say: “Mister Song is wise!”

Song Wei coldly snorted, and said: “Since there is still the suspicion of killing Patriarch Xu on this Village Head Shi, then does Manager Xiong think we should wait for the outcome of the battle or ask about it now?”

The few cultivators at the late stage of the martial arts realm could all see that although Shi Jiutong seemed to have the upper hand, he was actually not strong enough at the moment, and the spirit essence in his body was starting to run out. Although Yang Tiangang was in a sorry state of hiding, having a lot of the spirit essence in his body scattered, he was already at the peak of the third stage of cultivation.

The truth was that Shi Jiutong was already panicking. Even though he was chasing after Yang Tiangang, he knew that he was already at the end of his tether. If he still could not defeat Yang Tiangang within a short period of time, he himself would be exhausted.

Yang Tiangang was still calm and composed, although he was unable to completely dispel the “Floating Silk Spirit Art”, he did his best to not get stuck on the spirit technique, and even though the spirit essence in his body was dissipating, he could still rely on the spirit essence in his body to persevere, if he were to defeat Shi Jiutong, he would naturally win.

Steward Xiong exchanged glances with the Yu and Ning Family cultivators, then he looked at the silent Xiong Man Shan behind him, before sighing, and said: “Since the battle is not over yet, let’s wait for the two to determine the victor first.”

Song Wei smiled, he knew that the Xiong Family was still hoping for a chance, and said: “That’s fine, but even if Shi Jiutong wins, once he is proven to have intercepted and killed Patriarch Xu halfway, he will still not be able to become the Village Head!”

Steward Xiong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still nodded his head.

Just as they were talking, the battle between the two of them had reached a critical juncture, and Shi Jiutong was still frantically attacking, when Yang Tiangang suddenly started his counterattack.

Shi Jiutong had already reached the end of his strength and had been holding on to it because he felt that he had gained the upper hand at the moment. Under continuous attacks, Yang Tiangang might not be able to hold on for much longer and would lose out in the next moment.

However, what he did not know was that Yang Tiangang’s understanding of the Floating Silk Spirit Recovering Technique was not inferior to his. Although he was unable to completely remove the spirit technique in that moment, he knew how to avoid the strongest attack of the spirit technique.

Just as Shi Jiutong was chasing him and bombarding him with all kinds of things, Yang Tiangang suddenly rushed forward as her hair fluttered in the wind.

Instead of being shocked, Shi Jiutong was overjoyed. The Ironcloud Pearl started spinning above his head, bringing up a whirlwind, which gathered all the floating stuff that filled the sky onto Yang Tiangang’s body, and in the blink of an eye, the thickness of the floating stuff around Yang Tiangang doubled.

But at the same time, the High quality magical equipment in Yang Tiangang’s hand suddenly flew out and smashed into the Ironcloud Pearl, causing a loud and crisp sound to ring out so that Shi Jiutong’s eardrums hurt, and the Ironcloud Pearl was flung right above Shi Jiutong’s head.

Shi Jiutong was not alarmed, but instead happy. Even though his Irondawn Pearl had been knocked away, Yang Tiangang’s Smoke Pot had also lost control at the same time, and he had already started to gather all the floating particles that filled the sky onto Yang Tiangang’s body.

“Eh, that’s a good idea. I never thought that a grand spirit art could be broken by an ordinary spell!”

Song Wei who was watching the battle suddenly exclaimed.

Ning Changchun also laughed, “Not completely, but at least we’ve managed to break the power of this spiritual art. In the future, we could use it aeference. But who would have thought that such a useless technique like the Earthen Restraining Technique would have such uses.”

Just as Shi Jiutong was rejoicing inwardly, he suddenly saw a series of violent movements from the floating shreds in front of him. Shi Jiutong was startled, and saw the ruins that filled the sky suddenly breaking apart, and a muddy man whose entire body was wrapped in mud and covered in shreds flew towards him.

Shi Jiutong turned pale with fright, and was about to flee, but unexpectedly, as the man ran, every step he took released an earth-shattering technique, consecutively taking five steps forward. Shi Jiutong stumbled and was unable to escape, while the clay figure had already caught up to him.

Shi Jiutong knew that the time to determine the victor had come, so he did not run anymore. He turned around to fight Yang Tiangang to the death.

Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, the ground released another sound, this time from underground. Shi Jiutong knew that it was not good, it was too late to escape, the ground beneath his feet suddenly became soft, his body was about to fall down.

Shi Jiutong used the last bit of his spirit essence, exploding with a burst of Evil Qi beneath his feet, causing him to stay in the air, and not fall into the pit, but at the same time, the clay figure had already arrived in front of him.

Shi Jiutong was unable to dodge, the killing intent beneath his feet dispersed, and his entire body fell into the pit, following that, the pit closed, and half of Shi Jiutong’s body was stuck in the pit, the flying strands that filled the air immediately dissipated.

The mud on the man’s body was peeled off layer by layer, revealing Yang Tiangang to them. Yang Tiangang stood next to the pit, but did not release Shi Jiutong who was trapped in the mud.

“Yang Tiangang, I have already lost, this Village Head is already yours, are you still not going to let me out?” Shi Jiutong’s face was pale white, all of the spirit essence in his body had been used up.

Yang Tiangang was not well to do either, the spirit essence in his body had been used up by more than half, thus he was able to find a chance to defeat Shi Jiutong. If Shi Jiutong was able to hold on for a little longer, then Yang Tiangang would be the one to lose.

But facing Shi Jiutong’s roar, Yang Tiangang turned a blind eye, and turned his body, only to see Song Wei, the three powerful families and the cultivators following him, walking over to Shi Jiutong, looking down at him from above.

At this time, Shi Jiutong also felt that something was amiss, he anxiously turned his gaze to Xiong Ba Zhong, and said: “Butler Xiong, what’s going on, why don’t you put it down?”

Before Xiong Ba Zhong replied, Song Wei, who was at the side, already sneered and asked: “No rush, let me ask you first. Where did you go last night, what did you do, and why did you call for it?”

Shi Jiutong’s expression changed, and said: “Mr. Song, what, what do you mean by that, do you suspect me?”

Xu Sanniang, who was at the side, had already jumped out and said: “Surnamed Shi, stop pretending, the person who injured me yesterday was you!”

Shi Jiutong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, excitedly saying: “Xu Sanniang, stop spouting nonsense, you said that I’ve injured you, do you have any evidence? Today there are so many of you present, so you can’t speak any nonsense!”

Then, Shi Jiutong turned to Xiong Chi and said: “Butler Xiong, please uphold justice, please do not let someone with ulterior motives succeed!”

Butler Xiong’s face became troubled, but Xu Sanniang laughed coldly: “The spirit art you used just now, ‘Floating Silk Spirit Art’, was the art that injured me yesterday. What’s wrong, did you forget about Village Head Shi?”

When Xu Sanniang said this, the surrounding two villages immediately erupted in an uproar.

“It was Stone Village Head who injured the Xu Family Patriarch, why is that so?”

“Stupid, why bother asking, of course we have to get rid of one of Tuqiu Village’s experts, if that happens, then naturally, Tu Shi Village will have the upper hand, just look at how close the day is, if not for the big young master of the Yang Cunzheng family appearing again, our Tuqiu Village would be defeated this time!”

“So that’s how it is, this Village Head Shi is too ruthless, in the end he’s just from the same village, to actually …”

Shi Jiutong immediately became anxious, and scolded: “Bullsh * t, that wasn’t even my doing, you’re slandering me, your father was in the Earth Stone Village all night, and what’s more, when were you ambushed by someone yesterday, I don’t even know your whereabouts, how could I have ambushed and killed you in advance?”

Xu Sanniang was also startled when she heard this. Shi Jiutong was right, how could he know where he was? The only person who seemed to know his whereabouts yesterday was ….

“Ah, I understand!”

A surprised voice suddenly sounded, and when everyone heard the voice, they looked over to see Blacksmith Zhang, who had been injured from losing two consecutive battles, smacking his forehead, and saw everyone looking at him, Blacksmith Zhang laughed embarrassedly: “I remembered something, last night when I was discussing the matter of the village with Yang Cunzheng, I realized that there was someone who came out of the village, passed by Qinshui, and went towards the Earth Stone Village, that person was the one who leaked out Patriarch Xu’s whereabouts?”

Xu Sanniang’s face was ashen, and after hearing what was said, she asked: “Brother Zhang, is what you said true?”
