C109 The Enemy Attacks

Why did he stop?

Zhan Tianming glared at Little Purple with contempt.

What the hell!

This damn pig was deliberately trying to keep him in suspense?

Noticing the impatience on Zhan Tianming's face, Little Purple scratched its head with its hoof, looking embarrassed before laughing, "Master, don't be so angry. I"ll get straight to the point. I'll say it right now."

"Didn't I tell you just now that I sniffed out a powerful smell in this village?"

"That thing isn't actually alive."

"What?" Zhan Tianming exclaimed, dumbfounded.

'It's not alive?'

'What does that mean?'

'Could it have been a dead expert?'

Just as Zhan Tianming fell into a moment of confusion, Little Purple continued speaking, "I too thought that it was a living expert. However, after approaching closer towards the village cautiously, I realized that the scent actually came from a skeleton."

"A skeleton? What kind of skeleton?" Zhan Tianming asked, perplexed.

"The skeleton of a Demonic Beast," Little Purple replied.

"The skeleton of a Demonic Beast can actually retain such powerful aura?" Zhan Tianming frowned.

If that was really the case, then this village wouldn't be simply either.

Perhaps it was hiding some sort of secret.

"Alright, Master, let's go in quickly and save them," The Little Purple said.

"Yes." Zhan Tianming nodded.

With that, Little Purple strutted arrogantly towards the village.

Zhan Tianming was dumbstruck.

What the hell?!

'What are you trying to do?'

'For you to enter the village in such a manner, do you think that everyone within are mere decorations?'

"Master, hurry up," Little Purple turned around and shouted.

"Bajie, are you not afraid of becoming roasted pig?" Zhan Tianming chased after it and teased.

"Master, don't worry. The strongest person in this village is actually that beauty of mine, but she only possesses the strength of a Nine-star Martial Disciple. Even if all the villagers attacked together, they certainly won't be your match, so what is there to be afraid of?" Little Purple said without a care. It even raised its head and stuck out its chest proudly as if it was afraid the others wouldn't know how powerful it is.

"What?" Zhan Tianming stared blankly at it.

'The strongest person in the entire village is no more than a Nine-star Martial Disciple?'

'If that really was the case, how did these people even manage to kidnap Zongzheng Wanyou and Xiang'er?'

At that moment, Zhan Tianming came to a sudden realization.

Damn!

Zongzheng Wanyou and Xiang'er had probably been somehow tricked by those people.

Otherwise, Xiang'er alone, possessing the strength of a One-star Martial Master, would have been more than capable of wiping out everyone in this village.

Zhan Tianming could not help but shake his head.

'Forget it, let's just set those things aside.'

Since the strongest person in this village was only a Nine-star Martial Disciple, even if he were to do whatever he wanted to, no one would dare to even fart in his presence.

At this point, saving someone would practically be as easy as saying a few words.

With that, Zhan Tianming also began swaggering towards the village.

"Who goes there?"

A loud shout rang out.

Hwoosh! At that instant, a few burly men equipped with spears quickly rushed out of the village and surrounded both Zhan Tianming and Little Purple.

"Humph..." Little Purple snorted as it swept its eyes over them with disdain.

Zhan Tianming too shot quick glances towards those burly men.

The strongest person amongst them was a mere Seven-star Martial Disciple.

They were very weak indeed.

Before Zhan Tianming even had the chance to give a response, one of the burly men's face suddenly twisted drastically. Staring at Zhan Tianming as though he had seen a demon, he could not help but cast his spear to the side and use his hands to cover his butt.

Seeing this, the other burly men were completely baffled.

Still covering his butt, the burly man instinctively took a few steps back and stuttered, "Y-You... How... did you find your way here? I-I'm... warning you, t-this place is our stronghold. I-If... you were to mess around with us, w-we..."

"What about it? Do you want to have another taste of this?"

At some point, a few Flying Locust Stones appeared in Zhan Tianming's hands as he gently tossed them in the air.

Hearing those words, the burly man covering his butt turned dead silent, not daring to speak a single word.

Using one hand to protect his butt, he used the other to cover up his mouth.

His ridiculous actions gave everyone present the sudden urge to laugh.

Seeing this, Zhan Tianming revealed a satisfied grin. From the looks of things, the person must have been one of the individuals he had previously taught a lesson. Furthermore, that man was part of the group that he used his slingshot to shoot at. Otherwise, he wouldn't be this terrified of him.

This was a welcomed turn of events as it saved him quite a bit of trouble.

"Go and bring that female thief over," Zhan Tianming said casually.

At that moment, the other burly men revealed looks of dissatisfaction.

Their eyes, glaring viciously at Zhan Tianming.

"Humph! Where did this brat come from? He actually dares to behave so atrociously in our Thousand Bone Stronghold? I reckon he's tired of living."

"Hey, brat, you don't seem to know how the word, 'death,' is written."

"Humph! Teach him a lesson first."

"Charge!"

Aside from the one busy covering up his butt and mouth, the otehr burly men all rushed forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The spears in their hands thursted towards Zhan Tianming like fangs of a viper.

Zhan Tianming clenched his fist.

Kacha, kacha...

"Hundred Beasts Extermination!"

Rumble!

A single punch equivalent in strength to that of a hundred beasts.

The Golden True Qi surged forth around Zhan Tianming, concentrating into the dense energy within his fist before howling towards the few burly men.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that instant, each of their spears shattered into pieces as they were sent flying into the distance.

Each one of them crashed heavily onto the ground.

Zhan Tianming's face darkened as he swept his gaze across the Thousand Bone Stronghold.

"Humph, anyone else?"

His voice reverberated through the vicinity.

Yet, no a single person responded.

However...

"An enemy attack!"

"An enemy attack!"

A series of loud shouts suddenly sounded throughout the entire Thousand Bone Stronghold.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of armed men rushed towards the entrance of the village. Each one of them got into their battle stances and stared menacingly at Zhan Tianming.

Feeling as if it was being ignored, Little Purple dashed in front of Zhan Tianming and glared back at the army of men.

"Humph…"

"Humph…"

Unfortunately, no matter how much Little Purple snorted at them, none of them paid any attention to it.

With that, Little Purple trudged next to Zhan Tianming's feet with a depressed look and laid on the ground, too lazy to move.

"Eh, why does this person look so familiar?"

"That's right, he does look quite familiar. Where have I seen him before?"

H-He's... that..."

"Damn!"

"Nope, my butt is starting to hurt again."

All of the ones who gradually recognized Zhan Tianming's apperance revealed ugly expressions.

If there weren't a hundred other people here backing them up, they would've most likely run away with their tails tucked behind their backs.

Soon, a woman dressed in red arrived at the commotion.

Immediately, those armed with weapons opened up a path for the red-clothed woman to pass through.

All of a sudden!

The moment that red-clothed woman noticed Zhan Tianmiang, her eyes instantly widened. Resentment colored her face as she snorted softly.

"Humph!"

"You damn thief, you actually dare to come knocking on my door?"

"You are simply courting death!"

Clang!

At that moment, the red-clothed woman unsheathed a Jian from her waist.

Light reflected from the blade of the Jian as it swayed left and right like a dancing serpent.

"Brothers, charge forth!"
