CHAPTER 70: Hidden Cards
Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang both wore sneers on their faces. How could the hatred for the annihilation of their clan be easily set aside?
At this moment, it was already a life-and-death situation; if they could not destroy the Feng Family, they would have to face the furious retaliation of the Feng Family!
Both sides were fully aware of this principle, and their attacks were more intense than those of Liu Yu and his group. They exerted themselves to mercilessly attack the helpless, with no shred of shame in their hearts.
The Feng Family was desperately defending, while the Hou Family and Gongsun Family were striking ruthlessly.
The enmity between the three families had run deep, and their conflicts had already escalated to an obvious level. Liu Yu and the others were merely the spark that ignited the powder keg.
This was the harsh reality of the cultivation world, where sometimes there was no room for mercy!
Watching the performance of the three families, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel emotional.
Under the relentless and fierce assaults from Liu Yu’s group, the cultivators of the Feng Family struggled to fend off some attacks. The milky-white shield created by the jade spirit formation appeared on the verge of collapse, but with the support of the flawed spiritual vein, which continuously replenished their spiritual power, it ultimately held strong.
In the midst of this offensive and defensive struggle, a quarter of an hour quickly passed.
Feng Tianwei’s complexion was still extremely poor, pale as a ghost, and his hair was disheveled. He had already consumed a third of his magical power.
However, his expression was slightly more relaxed, with a hint of barely detectable delight in his eyes.
If he, a cultivator at the eighth layer of qi refinement, had burned through that much magical power, Liu Yu, Hou Yanze, and Gongsun Cang must have consumed even more.
If this continued, it would be the enemy whose magical power would run out first, which was extremely beneficial for the Feng Family.
After a quarter of an hour of defense, a young cultivator from the Feng Family was drenched in sweat, his shirt already soaked through. His chest heaved as he gasped for air.
Seeing that the attacking enemy cultivators, despite their fierce momentum, had been unable to break through the formation to harm them, the young cultivator’s initial pessimism gradually calmed down. He became steadier and more positive, a spark of hope rising in his heart—perhaps the family could really overcome this crisis?
His spells progressed from initial panic to a structured execution, rapidly improving.
The inner journey of this young cultivator in the Feng Family mirrored the change in mindset of most of the Feng Family cultivators.
For a time, the Feng Family cultivators encouraged each other, becoming more tenacious in their defense.
Liu Yu kept a vigilant eye on the situation on the battlefield and immediately noticed the change in morale among the Feng Family cultivators, who were becoming more steadfast in their resistance.
Feeling a shift, he activated the heavenly eye technique to look at the milky-white shield. He saw that over a dozen cultivators from the Feng Family were no longer in a state of panic; they had regained some composure, their eyes bright with renewed spirit, and their morale visibly rising.
Looking back at his own side, after a quarter of an hour of fierce attacks, they were already sweating profusely, with their magical power considerably depleted.
Wu Chang, Xie Huaxiong, and Sun Ju were also panting heavily, their breaths quickening, and fine beads of sweat dotted their foreheads.
The confidence of the cultivators from the Hou Family and Gongsun Family was clearly not as strong as at the beginning; fatigue was evident in their expressions.
Although they had pulled out spiritual stones to replenish their magical power, it was merely a drop in the bucket. Liu Yu estimated that their magical power had probably already been reduced by almost half.
