Chapter 642: Only Madness

Border

Cao Ying attacked, Zhou Bang didn’t like Lin Jiang, and Cao Ying didn’t like him either. Cao Ying comes from a prestigious family, they know that they are disciples of the Wangxian Sect founded by Lin Jiang, so they didn’t like them for showing disrespect to the sect’s founder.

So when Zhou Bang wanted to kill, Cao Ying was faster. She drew her sword and struck. With one blow, Zhou Bang, who was also at Building Foundation Period, screamed in pain and flew backwards.

The former witch from Yun State was not to be underestimated. After thousands of years, her talent for surpassing others still shone.

"Kill them."

Zhou Bang coughed up blood and hurriedly applied medicine to his wound. He was scared. If he hadn’t found some good defense items, that one strike would have killed him.

"Uncle, it’s been too long since I’ve used my skills. Let me handle this."

Cao Ying continued to chase and attack Li Cheng and the others. Even with their combined effort, they were no match for Cao Ying.

"Good"

Lin Jiang nodded, then gave Wu Jiang a look, Wu Jiang sneered and gave the order to attack.

Both sides brought people with them, all armed either as Martial Arts Masters or low-level cultivators. In an instant, gunfire echoed from the nearby hilltops.

Drones quickly appeared, two groups of them. Surprisingly, both sides had similar tactics, avoiding obvious targets like airplanes and cannons. Instead, they used drones, small targets with decent power.

"Bang, bang"

Over with Lin Jiang, someone took out a special electromagnetic spear and shot at the enemy’s drone group. Many drones immediately lost control and began to plummet.

"Sir, nearby electronic warfare aircraft have been deployed. The enemy’s electronic devices are being jammed and no unexpected events should occur."

Wu Jiang whispered to Lin Jiang, "They’re not playing fair. They know that Zhou Bang and his team can’t yet access Zhou Liao’s military power, but they are using it. The electronic warfare aircraft have been circling high in the sky, now they are in action, fully suppressing all enemy communication devices. Without these, most high-tech weapons become useless."

"Leave the cultivators to Little Ying. Have his people eliminate them as quickly as possible."

Lin Jiang nodded, Zhou Bang brought nearly a hundred people, some with heavy weapons like portable missiles, to quickly eliminate them.

Wu Jiang personally led his people, more people appeared from all sides, Zhou Bang soon realized that his people were completely overwhelmed. Drones bombarded his people relentlessly, and infrared scans left them with nowhere to hide. Even snipers were targeted one by one. Before they could even use their heavy weapons, they were already facing devastating attacks.

"Brother, retreat quickly."

Zhou Bang shouted at Li Cheng and the others, not daring to join the battle, turned around and ran. Facing a rain of spear bullets, he was about to break through.

"Little Ying, still playing, everyone has run away."

"Three minutes."

Cao Ying, hearing this, became furious, her sword attacks becoming even more fierce. She quickly destroyed the defensive tools of Li Cheng and the others, swiftly killed them, then directly chased after Zhou Bang.

"Wu Jiang, five minutes, end the fight."

Lin Jiang didn’t move, with so many people around him, there was no need for him to act. He already had control of the situation, and any stray bullets were intercepted by the surrounding bodyguards.

The sound of battle grew weaker. Cao Ying grabbed Zhou Bang and threw him in front of Lin Jiang. Zhou Bang was barely breathing, looking at Lin Jiang with pleading eyes.

He needed to recover his spiritual energy. The opportunity to rise was right in front of him, and he didn’t want to die.

"Why did you bring him back?"

"He is a disciple of your Wangxian Sect. He committed a serious offense, and it should be you who deals with it."

"I don’t want to get my hands dirty. You deal with him."

"I don’t want to get my hands dirty either."

"Let someone else take care of him."

Lin Jiang told the bodyguard, who didn’t mind at all, to quickly end Zhou Bang’s life, ensuring he wouldn’t have a chance to come back as a zombie.

The rest of the battles also ended. Occasionally, there were some scattered sounds. Wu Jiang, feeling a bit embarrassed, approached and said, "Sir, sorry for the trouble. Some of the guys were really fast runners and are still being chased. But most of them have been dealt with."

"Well, let’s go back. Oh, by the way, Zhou Liao has also ordered to take action."

"Sir, those cultivators…"

"Kill them if you can, if not, just leave them be, they are just insignificant troublemakers."

Lin Jiang said that he knew Zhou Bang had awakened many cultivators from the Wangxian Sect, since none of them came to him, they were all traitors. Kill them if possible, if not, let it go, they cannot cause much trouble anyway.

Simply put, Lin Jiang’s focus is still on the Shen Continent. He doesn’t pay much attention to other continents because the power levels are not the same. Also, Lin Jiang has a thought of giving the yet-to-appear demon race a chance.

If the demon race appears and fights with Lin Jiang, he finds it difficult to completely eliminate them. To prevent them from fighting to the bitter end, it’s better to give them a way out.

········

Zhou Liao, coastal city.

Li He, with most of the Zhou family descendants, is waiting here for news from Zhou Bang. They have also prepared for failure because he used to be their sect leader and has been laying out plans in Huaxia for so many years. Even though they are well-prepared, there is still a chance of making mistakes.

However, when Zhou Liao’s signal disappeared, Li He couldn’t help but cry. How could a couple of decades not have any feelings?

"Mom, let’s go, let’s go now."

Zhou Sheng, who was in his fifties, reacted the fastest. Once he realized Zhou Bang was in trouble, he immediately grabbed Li He and tried to run away.

They arrived at the garage, where the vehicles were already prepared. Everyone got in the car together, and within ten minutes, they reached a private dock by the sea, where a speedboat was waiting for them.

Half an hour later, they boarded a luxurious cruise ship. There were no other unrelated passengers on the cruise ship, only their group and some cultivators from the Wangxian Sect.

"Sister Li He, Brother Zhou is in trouble."

"Brother Li is also in trouble. His Soul Lamp has gone out."

Immediately, a cultivator stepped forward and said that the spiritual energy had been restored, and they had remade the Soul Lamp. They saw that their Soul Lamp, like Li Cheng’s, had been extinguished.

"Yes, the plan has failed."

"Didn’t we say we were prepared?"

"We were prepared, but the enemy was too strong."

Li He said in pain, Zhou Bang spent decades of savings, brought out a Martial Arts Master, more than ten Martial Saints, as well as some cultivators who had just broken through the Qi Refining Period, but they were still too weak.

"Damn it, they killed four of my senior brothers in one go, damn it."

Someone roared, there were not many cultivators left by the Wangxian Sect, four people died in an instant, it was too damn.

But they also felt lucky that they didn’t go, or they would have basically gone to their deaths.

"Sister Li, it’s done, it’s too late to regret, let’s quickly return to Ying Continent, Ying Continent is our territory."

Someone said, they had no sense of security here, only by returning to Ying Continent, back to their territory, could they feel a bit safe.

"Alright, let’s go, we haven’t lost yet, my Zhou family has over a hundred descendants, over fifty people who can cultivate immortality, we won’t lose."

Li He tried to cheer up. Over the years, there were more than a hundred descendants in the Zhou family, with over fifty of them being able to practice magic. She was only with a group of them who were closely related to her.

She had already ordered the others to evacuate on their way here. She didn’t know what the outcome would be, but as long as one person was alive, they wouldn’t give up.

The cruise ship’s captain received an order to change direction, adjust the course, and start escaping at full speed. The cruise ship’s speed was good, especially with fewer passengers on board.

Half an hour later, they left the Zhou Liao Sea area and entered the open sea. About an hour later, the captain received a satellite call and then saw several moving dots on the radar on the ship, his face changed suddenly, and he called Li He and the others.

"Li He, right?"

"Who are you?"

"I am a man’s person, I don’t need to say who the man is. Zhou Bang and others are already dead. Stop and surrender, maybe the man will spare your lives."

"He will forgive us?"

"I can’t speak for the man, but he said he’s interested in your family’s company and research institute. Hand them over intact, and there might be a chance."

"Can you make sure we will definitely stay alive?"

"Li He, you have misunderstood. You don’t have the qualification to negotiate. You only have the qualification to surrender. Hang a white flag on the cruise ship within ten minutes, then stop the ship and drop anchor. Consider it as your surrender, or else you will be sunk."

After the person on the phone finished speaking, they hung up directly, leaving everyone in panic.

"Boss, the radar shows that there are at least three military submarines around us. Our cruise ship has no armed forces. Once attacked, it will be sunk quickly."

The captain pointed to the radar on the ship and said, he wished everyone would surrender now. As a working man, he could definitely survive.

"Brothers, what do you think?"

"Li He, we cannot surrender. You know how ruthless that person is, survivors on the battlefield are not merciful, right?"

"Li He, let’s run. We are in the Foundation Building Period. Even if we can’t fly over the Endless Sea, there are many ships on the sea."

"But what about my family?"

"Your Zhou family has many descendants. When we arrive in Ying Continent, I will give you Zhou family a hundred women, no, a thousand women. How about that?"

Several cultivators disagreed. They knew how cruel cultivators could be, especially someone like Lin Jiang, who had been through great battles and survived. They couldn’t expect him to show them mercy.

They couldn’t do it either.

Li He was still struggling. Her children, grandchildren, and all her relatives were here. How could she watch these people die?

Seeing this, several cultivators glanced at each other, smirked, and ignored Li He. They quickly packed some personal items and appeared on the deck, flying away on their swords.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Their escape was noticed, and suddenly three missiles appeared on the sea, not far apart, heading towards the cruise ship. Li He saw one missile with flames coming towards them, despair written all over her face.
