Chapter 241: Mackerel shad


    Hong Wei and Hong Feng were taken aback. Meng Zhang had already arrived not far from them. Liu Dajin, who was chasing after Meng Zhang, had a sudden change in his expression. Unexpectedly, he encountered someone familiar with Meng Zhang at this moment.


    Assassinating Meng Zhang at this time was an unspeakable matter. Once exposed, it would bring significant trouble to himself, and even the Liu Family would suffer greatly. Though Liu Dajin had always been selfish and distant from the family, he wouldn''t idly watch the family suffer because of him.


    Liu Dajin''s mind was filled with murderous intent. While attacking Meng Zhang, he silently expanded the range of his attacks. The icy true qi was already insidious and hidden, silently enveloping both Hong Wei and Hong Feng.


    Before the two could react and rify that Meng Zhang was talking nonsense, it was already toote. The decisive Liu Dajin had started to silence them.


    Feeling the chilling aura descending upon them, Hong Wei and Hong Feng almost simultaneously shouted, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We are not acquainted with this kid, Meng Zhang."


    A sneer appeared on Liu Dajin''s lips. At this point, what nonsense was there about not being acquainted? He truly regarded them as fools.


    Even if these two were strangers, encountering them while chasing Meng Zhang meant they had to be silenced too. The opponent''s attacks didn''t pause. Feeling the firm killing intent from the enemies, Hong Feng and Hong Wei had no choice but to defend themselves.


    Unlike Meng Zhang, who was caught off guard, they were facing the enemy head-on, giving them a chance to resist.


    A flying sword soared into the sky, swirling and dancing, cutting towards Liu Dajin. Hong Feng was one of the top swordsmen of the Yellow Lotus Sect''s East River Branch, and his sword skills were almost on par with Meng Zhang. When Meng Zhang had sparred with him using his flying sword, he had been suppressed.


    Hong Wei''s hands formed seals, and arge earth-yellow hand rose from his back, directly grabbing at Liu Dajin.


    With Hong Feng and Hong Wei sharing the pressure, Meng Zhang finally caught his breath and began to counterattack.


    The Tangling Silk Soft Sword descended like a flexible python, aiming for Liu Dajin''s head.


    The difference betweente-stage Foundation Building and early-stage Foundation Building was a gap that could not be crossed.


    Facing three opponents, Liu Dajin didn''t feel the slightest difficulty. As long as he seized the initiative and included all enemies within the attack range, they would not escape easily.


    Moreover, Liu Dajin was not a loose cultivator without any inheritance. Although the Liu Family had only a few hundred years of history, they still possessed aplete Foundation Building period inheritance.


    Hong Feng and Hong Wei came from the prestigious Primordial Spirit sect, Yellow Lotus Sect. Meng Zhang had received the inheritance from the flourishing era of Taiyi Sect. The three of them were extraordinary individuals with exceptional talents and profound knowledge.


    Under unavoidable circumstances, the three were forced to join forces to face the enemy, revealing their true abilities.


    Initially, Hong Feng and Hong Wei held some hope that they could exin the misunderstanding. Admittedly, they also had grievances against Meng Zhang and naturally wished to see him suffer. How could they stand on his side?


    However, Liu Dajin gave them no chance to stop, and he ignored their exnations, believing none of it.


    Meng Zhang was shouting loudly from the side, "Brothers, Liu Dajin is clearly trying to kill us to silence us. Whoever manages to escape must bring the news to Flying Swan Sect and Forest Spring Watch, and wipe out this old thief and his entire n."


    Now, everyone had no retreat; they had to fight to the bitter end. Hong Wei and Hong Feng hated Meng Zhang for putting them in this situation, but they had no choice but to help him resist the enemy. They felt frustrated and aggrieved.


    Liu Dajin attacked with all his might, like a crazed tiger, vowing to capture all three of them. After a bitter struggle, Hong Wei, the weakest of the three, couldn''t hold on any longer and was killed on the spot by Liu Dajin.


    Hong Feng, although also in the initial stage of Foundation Building cultivation, was highly regarded within the Yellow Lotus Sect due to his exceptional sword skills and possessed several life-saving items bestowed by the sect''s experts. Exhausting all his life-saving items, he finally managed to evade Liu Dajin''s attacks. Despite suffering serious injuries, Hong Feng fled in the direction of the Golden de Sect.


    The unexpected life-saving items on Hong Feng saved him from the immediate danger, much to Liu Dajin''s surprise. Seizing the opportunity when Hong Feng and Hong Wei fled in different directions, the clever Meng Zhang managed to find a gap and risked getting hit by Liu Dajin to escape from the battlefield, heading towards the direction of the Taiyi Sect.


    Seeing Hong Feng and Meng Zhang escape in different directions, Liu Dajin hesitated briefly but then decided to pursue Meng Zhang directly. After all, Meng Zhang was his archenemy, his primary target.


    Despite gaining the upper hand and achieving a brilliant victory in the previous battle, Liu Dajin''s suppressed cold aura started to stir again. He knew he should rush back to Liu Family at this moment and use the Warm Jade Bed to suppress the cold aura in his body. However, with things having reached this point, Liu Dajin couldn''t bear to watch Meng Zhang escape. He was unwilling to give up.


    Chasing after Meng Zhang relentlessly, Liu Dajin swore to kill him on the spot. He was even prepared to risk his own life; he would never let Meng Zhang go.


    Liu Dajin''s cultivation base far exceeded Meng Zhang''s, and he was much faster. Even though Meng Zhang tried his best and got a head start, he was soon caught up by Liu Dajin.


    In front of Liu Dajin, Meng Zhang didn''t dare to use his Earth Escape Spell. While the spell excelled in concealment, it wasn''t outstanding in terms of speed. Meng Zhang had secretly decided that if he survived this ordeal, he would find a way to cultivate a faster escape technique for critical situations.


    Caught up by Liu Dajin and unable to continue fleeing, Meng Zhang had no choice but to turn around and face him. Liu Dajin charged at Meng Zhang madly, intent on killing his enemy in the shortest possible time.


    Suddenly, a figure flew out from the ground behind Liu Dajin, wielding arge hammer and striking fiercely at his back.


    It turned out to be Deep EarthSpirit General, who had returned to the flying boat of the Taiyi Sect and noticed that Meng Zhang hadn''t returned. He decided to search for him. Following the traces left by the twobatants, he finally arrived near the battlefield just as Hong Wei was killed, Hong Feng fled with serious injuries, and Meng Zhang was trying to escape.


    With his vastbat experience, Deep EarthSpirit General knew that Meng Zhang wouldn''t get far before being caught by the enemy. Instead of confronting Liu Dajin directly, he used his talent for Earth Escape Spell to stealthily approach him from behind.


    When Liu Dajin made his move to intercept Meng Zhang, Deep EarthSpirit General suddenlyunched a surprise attack from behind.
