Chapter 329 (2/2)

”They have done nothing wrong, you say? They are related to your Snapping Turtle Clan, that's enough to make them guilty!”

'Snapping Turtle Clan?'

”Please, the White Tiger Clan and us can still coexist with each other it's not too late…”

'White Tiger Clan?'

While the young girl named Xia Yanmei pleaded for the lives of her people Zhang Dong noticed something strange. The clan names were not what he was used to. Normally they were run by families, so the clan named White Tiger Clan should have been the Dai clan instead. The Snapping Turtle would have normally been the Xia clan.

'Did I end up in another cultivation world… or is it just some far away province…'

There were a few possibilities. One was that he was in a similar world to his old one but it wasn't quite the same. Another option was that he just ended up in some faraway land where the naming sense was just different.

”Enough, you had your chance, now someone else has taken your spot!”

The young man named Dai Rong was hugged from the side by a jade-like beauty while laughing. The girl called Xia Yanmei just dropped her shoulders as it seemed that there was no way of talking her way out of this.

”But, I'm a magnanimous lord, you will have your chance of surviving. You just need to stay alive and you may live as a slave for the rest of your life!”

The young master laughed while dropping back onto a large chair. The girl that was with him landed in his l.a.p and also started laughing. The two were in some VIP booth with other people in it, some were old and some were young and no one felt familiar in any way.

”Begin!”

The signal was given but Zhang Dong still felt terrible. A large gate opened up in the distance and something walked out. It looked like a silverback gorilla with strange white stripes running over its dark fur. There were three of these beasts there while the group that Zhang Dong was part of consisted of about twenty people.

”Thunder apes? Aren't those as strong as a middle stage Inner Aura practitioner?”

'Inner Aura realm?'

A big question mark appeared above Zhang Dong's head. He had never heard about a cultivation realm like this one before. The notion that he was pushed into another world altogether was a possibility and without his system going online he could not ask Bob to confirm this either.

”What will we do…”

”W-we must fight, it's the only way… look there are weapons there!”

The young lady called out to her people and pointed to a pile of weapons that was in the middle of the arena. It seemed that these people had left them some items to protect themselves with. Soon everyone from this clan rushed to the middle to pick up those items while also leaving him behind to his own devices.

He finally decided to get up as this was no time to play dead. Even then he felt like he was about to cross to the other side as standing up was already hard enough.

With all his strength that he could muster he forced himself to stand up. Now he was finally able to get a good look at everything and everyone. The group of twenty people was holding onto some rusty swords and spears. It was clear that these items would not do much to their opponents.

The trio of monsters beat their c.h.e.s.ts loudly while releasing small amounts of electricity. Soon a small skirmish between the cultivators and the beasts broke out. The people from the Snapping Turtle Clan used the old weapons but they snapped apart or didn't have enough sharpness to do much damage to the monster apes.

”I'm scared…”

”Huh?”

Zhang Dong looked behind him. There he saw another group of people right up against the wall. It was composed of children, the elderly, and women. The group of twenty people that was fighting the monsters was clearly protecting this equally large group of non-combatants.

Then it happened one of the monsters spotted the people in the distance, him included. It broke out of the fight and started charging towards the people that could not protect themselves.

Without thinking much he took up a battle stance, the monster charged quite fast and swung its large fist towards his position.

He knew that if he got hit, he would die. Even though his body was beaten up and tired, his eyes were still working. He predicted the trajectory of this hit and slipped to the side before it arrived there.

While the creature was confused about missing the weakling before him a fist descended towards its face. It burrowed itself into its cheek and did absolutely no damage. The monster didn't even flinch while Zhang Dong felt his knuckles almost breaking apart.

The maddened monster raised its thick arms up into the air and started beating its c.h.e.s.t like a drum. Electricity started shooting in all directions while hitting Zhang Dong straight on. He was sent flying by this small shockwave to the side, the monster snorting as if it just took care of some bug.
