Chapter Seventy-Three: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots
Yan Ning, who barely blocked the crossbow arrow, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and turned his head to look at Chu Ying, who was paralyzed on the ground with a bloody hole in his chest, he knew that the plan to invade the Chu clan had failed. But is it really necessary to give up like this? Yan Ning's mind pondered what to do next.
Taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, Chu Qili slowly walked towards Chief Chutian's side, and quietly stuffed a few Divine Fruits into his mouth. "Hate Li, thanks to you this time. Chu Tian also got a moment of respite from this vicious battle. Chu Hatred took two steps forward to support the chieftain, quietly stuffed some Yunshen Fruit into his hand, and motioned for him to take it.
Taking a few steps forward, Chu Qili looked at Yan Ning and said coldly, "Deputy Chief Yan, do you want to continue? This battle has greatly damaged the vitality of your two tribes. If you continue to fight to the end, I'm afraid that people with intentions will catch the loophole, which will be too much to lose. ”
Listening to Chu Qili's somewhat subdued tone of seeking peace, Yan Ning was quite useful, but he was not too fluttering, because what that kid said did have some truth. Yan Ning's triangular eyes stared closely at the initiator who reversed everything, resentful but also a little appreciative, "The Chu tribe has produced an incredible talent, if it weren't for you, maybe it would be a different situation now, right?" He glanced at Chu Tian with a deep meaning, with a bit of sarcasm, "Some people are in high positions, but no child has lived to understand, it's really sad!"
Chu Hatred stood in front of Chief Chu Tian without being humble or arrogant, and vaguely felt that the other party's sluggish momentum was gradually recovering.
"Although he is a talent, it is a pity that he is still too young. Yan Ning looked at Chu Qili again, sighing in her heart.
Although both sides suffered losses in this invasion war, the Chu tribe suffered the most losses, and both the backbone and high-end combat power suffered heavy losses. Especially the Chu Ying in the Sumeru Realm also has a deputy chief, and without these two people, the strength of the Chu tribe has been weakened by half. And his own family only lost less than half of the mustard seed intermediate level cultivators.
"When the time comes, I will bring someone back to kill me, everything will still be our Yan clan's, and I don't have to bother dealing with Chu Ying. Yan Ning was making calculations in his heart, but a heat wave in front of him made him immediately vigilant. A scorching flame was in the shape of a crescent, striking at him fiercely, and the one who took the initiative to make trouble was none other than Chu Heli, who was holding a non-attack.
In an instant, the source qi was regathered, and the thick earth armor was condensed to wrap his arms, and Yan Ning was able to resist that sword qi. "Boy, you are looking for death!" The sword qi dissipated, and Yan Ning lowered his arms and said viciously.
But in response to him, it was Chu Tian who had already killed in front of him, and the opponent of the same cultivation caught him a little off guard, and was hit by a palm that had been gathering momentum for a long time, and the thick earth armor on his body that had not yet fully solidified was scattered again. Yan Ning's figure retreated in embarrassment, his throat was sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Aren't you exhausted?, how can you still ......" Yan Ning was a little incredulous at the power of this palm, and asked with wide eyes.
Chu Tian did not respond, but continued to chew the divine fruit in his mouth. Yan Ning, who noticed this abnormality, suddenly realized, and snorted coldly, "Don't think that you are the only one who has the elixir!" As he spoke, he also took some elixir to restore the source qi and took the initiative to find Chu Tian.
But in a moment, the screams sounded from not far away, and the Yan invaders, who had been unable to form an army, were waiting near the battlefield, but suddenly a rain of arrows shot from all directions. The terrifying speed of the Armor-Piercing Crossbow left them too late to resist, and a single round of shots cost them dearly. Hearing the screams that came, Chu Hatli showed an imperceptible smile on his face, "It seems to be done." ”
When he was treating Uncle Goudan before, Chu Qili gave an order to the crossbowmen, asking them to go to the hiding place of the Yan invaders and quietly release a few rounds of cold arrows, and then immediately retreat. According to Chu Hatali's idea, if the grass is not cut and the roots are not removed, there will be endless troubles.
Looking at the Chu clan people who disappeared without a trace near the granary, Yan Ning faintly guessed what was happening. His eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Little beast ......" Before the angry scolding could be spoken, the high-level armor-piercing crossbow shot a crossbow arrow, forcing him to shut up and resist.
"Retreat, Yan Clan belongs, retreat at full speed!" While dealing with Chu Tian and the Armor-Breaking Crossbow, Yan Ning yelled into the distance. Winter Rain is very cold, but now his heart is even colder, it is the backbone of a tribe, if he loses too many manpower, he will not be able to explain. "The next time we meet, you and I will definitely not die!" Yan Ning detonated the thick earth armor around him, and instantly shook Chu Tian and a few crossbow arrows out of the air, while he rushed in the direction where the clansmen had fled.
"Chief, let's follow suit. This Yan Ning doesn't leave the tribe, I can't settle down, and there are still many clansmen in the outer circle. Chu Qili and Chu Tian talked for a few words, and then the two of them followed closely behind Yan Ning together, not giving him a chance to stop and retaliate.
After the two of them drove Yan Ning and the remaining dozen or so Yan invaders out of the tribe, it was already nightfall. Chu Qili and Chief Chu Tian stayed by the boundary monument, looking at the invaders who had fled in the wilderness, and their tense nerves finally relaxed. Obviously, he had driven the invaders out of the tribe, but Chu Tian couldn't laugh at all, his face was bitter, and he opened his mouth with great effort to plead: "Hate Li, take me to see Yun Yan." ”
The clansmen died tragically, the brothers turned against each other, and the old men who had been by his side for many years died in the chaos. These sorrows and pains, Chu Xili definitely can't empathize with the chief, maybe now his only sustenance is on his daughter, right?
"The chief mourns the wounds suffered by the tribe, let everyone mend them together. Chu Qili turned around and pointed to the house that emitted a faint glow in the darkness, "Miss Chu is recuperating there, I'll take you to see her." The two of them walked slowly in the direction of the light, although the snow was slippery, but for the cultivation of the two, it was no longer an obstacle, but they still walked very slowly.
"Bang bang ......" came to Wan'er's residence, and Chu Heli knocked on the wooden door twice. A burst of hurried footsteps came from behind the door, with a "squeak", a crack was pulled in the old door panel, and a small head came out, and after seeing the comer, he called out crisply: "Big brother, are you back? Sister Wan'er wants to kill you these days." ”
"It's Qingfeng, my brother has brought someone to visit the wounded, let's go in first." After listening to Chu Hatli's reminder, the little girl hurriedly took a few steps back and opened the door completely.
Wan'er was helping Chu Yunyan to get up and drink the medicine, and after waiting for a long time without hearing a sound, she called out from the house, "Qingfeng, who is coming?" Qingfeng didn't know what to say, and said mysteriously, "Secret." ”
Chief Chutian was a little confused, it was impossible for Chu Qili to complete a series of tedious tasks of marrying his own baby in just a few months, right? So Chutian asked in a tentative low voice, "Ha Li, who are these people?"
Chu Qili rubbed Qingfeng's pill head and chuckled, "It's a new addition to our Chu clan." Chief Chutian bowed slightly, and glanced at the small and lovely breeze kindly.
led the chief into the innermost house, where Wan'er was accompanying Chu Yunyan, taking care of the other party taking the decoction. The earthy brown potion couldn't help but make Chu Yunyan's eyebrows frown, and Wan'er stared at the other party's strange expression with some schadenfreude, and made jokes from time to time.
Hearing the sound of the door, the second daughter looked up and saw the comer, with different expressions. Chu Qili naturally wouldn't disturb the reunion of the chief's father and daughter, so he beckoned Wan'er out.
