44 Chapter 44 (2/2)

The sleazy man said while holding out a bow, three other cultivators did the same as they took aim for the youth. They started infusing their spiritual energy into the arrows, their penetrative power and speed would be increased the chances of the boy surviving this were meek. But just before the enemy cultivators could release their arrows a strange sound could be heard, followed by a big explosion that was just a couple of meters away from the band of ruffians.

The ten people backed away in horror as the dirt and rubble headed their way. They covered up while jumping backward, not sure if there was a new enemy or if there was some magical bomb treasure buried in the ground that made it explode. But soon another explosion occurred right behind them, then another one to the left side and the right side. They stopped in one spot as they got boxed in by the blasts, they had no idea what was going on as the explosions were happening too fast and they couldn't even see where the attack was coming from.

”Hey you, stay where you are, don't move a muscle.”

They heard a man's voice coming from above, everyone looked up to see a man standing on a cristal sword. He was holding what looked to be a bolt of lightning fashioned into a spear, they figured that it was probably that man that was attacking them.

”Why are you attacking these people, ten grown men against two kids just doesn't look right.”

The man asked while looking at the brother and sister duo, that were now hugging each other not sure what to do. Was this man going to save them? But if he hears that they are from a weak clan that is about to get eradicated he won't probably help.

”Good Senior, those people are from the Zhang Clan, we are from the honorable Tsai Clan. You probably heard what happened to the Zhang Clan it's already done for, the elders just ordered us to take care of anyone that runs away. Our honorable Patriarch is also taking part in the seizure of their treasures.I'm sure he would have a chat with you if you are willing.”

”Seizure of treasures? Or do you mean cleansing?”

The man asked while moving closer and closer to the people, the Tsai Clan members hoping that the name of their clan would provide backing.

”Well yes hehe, I'm sure you know how things like that work Senior, they were just unlucky.”

The man looked at the ten cultivators that were getting more confident he then looked back at the bleeding youth and the girl that was standing next to him, the two terrified and tense.

”You want to kill all of them... Well, guess I'll have to introduce myself. My name is...”

He jumped down from his sword onto the ground, he was right between the two Zhang Clan members and the Tsai Clan members.

”Zhang Dong.”

After telling them his name, he pointed his finger at the cultivators standing together and a sphere appeared around them. The Tsai cultivators were shocked after hearing that the man was also from the Zhang clan. They started punching at the barrier but after hitting it once they got shocked by lightning instead.

”Don't worry I won't kill you, even though you tried to kill the boy and take advantage of the girl... but your cultivation days are over.”

After saying that, lightning started hitting the people inside the sphere. The people were all Qi Condensation cultivators and even though they were in the top part of it, they were nothing to him. The lightning prison destroyed the people's cultivation bases leaving them all charred and injured yet still alive.

The two youths looked at the man that took care of the enemy cultivators in surprise.

”Senior U-uncle Dong?”

He almost tripped after getting called an uncle but kept it together. Zhang Dong took out one of the healing pills and handed it to the girl that looked at the pill with astonishment as she could tell that it was quite potent.

”I guess you can call me that... Those guys won't bother you anymore, give that pill to your brother after removing the arrows. Could you tell me about what is happening in Spirit Spring City.”

The two felt relieved, they didn't know if this uncle that they didn't know could turn the tide but he was a powerful cultivator, this they could tell. They told him about the defensive formation and how they were being attacked by other clans, the enemies apparently had at least 3 core formation experts in their mids, maybe more. The two couldn't really tell as they were focused on escaping.

”Okay... you two should probably stay here...”

He said while hopping back onto his sword, he was deep in thought but seemed to make up his mind after which he shot like an arrow towards the Zhang Clan headquarters with a solemn look on his face.
