Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2158 - 2114: Tyrant at Home

"He has always been like this. I figure this time he’s not targeting me, but rather targeting you, Family Head Xiao," said Zheng Dayou.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin remained silent, his expression dark as water.

Chen Yang was equally furious at Tang Jingshan’s actions.

At such a critical moment, with Tang Jingshan as the apparent master of Cangshi Town, he was still playing petty tricks.

This isn’t just internal strife.

Is he giving the Barbarian Bull Tribe a chance to exploit them?

"Great one, what should we do now? We can’t just hand over the mine we’ve just taken back, can we?" After brooding for a moment, Xiao Xin looked at Chen Yang and said.

He had long wanted to reclaim his family’s mine.

Now that he had it back, he had to consider giving it away again.

Xiao Xin was obviously unwilling.

Chen Yang understood this.

But if they didn’t give it up, they would face risks once more.

It was uncertain how many people the Barbarian Bull Tribe would send to retaliate.

If the entire tribe mobilized, they would face the risk of being surrounded.

Chen Yang didn’t answer Xiao Xin immediately. After a moment’s thought, he said, "Giving up, we definitely can’t give up proactively. Since Mayor Tang refuses to come and reinforce, we’ll have to take it one step at a time."

"If not many come from the Barbarian Bull Tribe, we’ll hold our ground. If the entire tribe moves, we’ll have no choice but to avoid their sharpness."

Chen Yang spoke very directly, and Xiao Xin understood.

Preserving living strength is the main point.

If the entire Barbarian Bull Tribe attacks, they’ll have no choice but to retreat. Otherwise, they risk total annihilation.

There’s no need to be impetuous.

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead," Xiao Xin nodded in agreement.

Then, he coldly snorted in anger and said, "If Tang Jingshan causes the Xiao Family’s mine to be lost, then he shouldn’t think he’ll have any peace."

Hearing the revenge-laden words of Xiao Xin, Chen Yang remained silent.

This was an internal issue of Cangshi Town, not within his mission scope.

He was only responsible for helping Cangshi Town solve its problems.

If their internal problems prevented resolution, there was nothing he could do.

...

"Report!!"

Noontime the next day.

An urgent voice sounded from outside.

Chen Yang, Xiao Xin, and Zheng Dayou, stationed at the mine, stopped their discussion immediately and looked towards the Xiao Family servant rushing into the room.

"What’s wrong?"

Xiao Xin looked over with a tense expression.

The servant knelt on one knee and reported, "Family Head, it’s not good. On the west side of the mine, a group of Barbarian Bull Tribe members appeared, and they are aggressive, coming straight for our mine."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin’s face grew even more tense.

"They’re really coming. Did you get a clear look at how many there are?"

Asked Xiao Xin nervously.

The servant replied, "I didn’t get a clear look. I hurried to report, but there is definitely a group of them."

Upon hearing ’a group,’ Xiao Xin knew for sure that a fierce battle was inevitable.

"Great one, let’s go, let’s have a look together." Xiao Xin turned to Chen Yang.

Although Chen Yang had never demonstrated his Condensation Realm strength, Xiao Xin had long deduced it from his battle with Ma Yuan.

Defeating Ma Yuan, who was at the Small Perfect Spirit Gathering realm, so easily.

He was at least halfway to the Condensation Realm, impossible to still be in the Spirit Gathering realm.

So in the face of the imposing Barbarian Bull Tribe, he could only place all his hopes on Chen Yang.

Besides Chen Yang, there was probably no one else who could oppose the Barbarian Bull Tribe’s assault.

"Hmm, let’s go have a look." Chen Yang nodded.

"You, quickly send the message, have all personnel enter combat status, swear to defend the Akadote Veins!" Xiao Xin instructed the servant.

"Yes, Family Head!"

The servant obeyed and quickly withdrew to pass on the message.

Chen Yang followed Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou, leaving the room and heading to the west side of the mine.

After a night of repairs, the mine had been mostly rebuilt.

A simple defensive structure was constructed with a circle of giant logs on the perimeter.

Several lookout towers were also built.

After leaving the room, Chen Yang, Xiao Xin, and Zheng Dayou immediately climbed the lookout tower.

A glance toward the west, as reported by the servant, revealed an overwhelming crowd of Minotaurs charging aggressively toward the mine.

And at a swift pace, already at the city walls in the blink of an eye.

Almost simultaneously, all hands in the mine gathered.

Since Tang Jingshan’s men hadn’t arrived, there were only over forty Spirit Gathering experts in the mine.

In this kind of battle, only masters of the Spirit Gathering realm could make a difference.

Those below the Spirit Gathering realm would just be cannon fodder, essentially useless.

"This is tough; there are at least seventy of them," Zheng Dayou said, his face sinking as he looked at the Minotaurs gathered not far away.

Seventy or more, nearly double their numbers.

This kind of battle leaves little suspense.

Xiao Xin’s face grew even more grim.

Simultaneously, he also grew to hate Tang Jingshan in his heart.

If Tang Jingshan had come, how could they be at a disadvantage here?

"Seventy or more, so what? For this vein, I, Xiao Xin, will fight to the death!" Xiao Xin said fiercely, prepared to go down with the Barbarian Bull Tribe.

Seventy was indeed a significant pressure, but Chen Yang wasn’t particularly concerned.

His focus was entirely on the leader among them.

The Barbarian Bull Tribe was almost uniformly represented by Minotaurs.

Only their leader had already transformed.

From appearance, he was indistinguishable from a normal person.

His aura was very strong, presumably a Dan Condensation Realm expert as well.

Thus, Chen Yang’s gaze was fixed on him.

"Despicable humans! Where have you taken our brave warriors of the Barbarian Bull Tribe? Release them properly, and our young tribe leader may show mercy and spare your lives."

At this, a member of the Barbarian Bull Tribe stepped forward to shout.

Clearly, they already knew about Chen Yang and the others capturing many members of the Barbarian Bull Tribe.

This was also why they hadn’t directly launched an attack.

"Great one, what do we do?"

Zheng Dayou glanced below and then turned his gaze directly to Chen Yang.

"If talks fail, it might just end in battle," Chen Yang said calmly.

The opponent’s numbers were overwhelming, but there were still opportunities.

Chen Yang believed that as long as he could take down the opposing leader, they could win.

In battles with no significant power differential, the top-tier combat power often dictates the outcome of the entire engagement.

Chen Yang stepped forward and answered, "Your Barbarian Bull Tribe has forty to fifty men captured by us. If you wish to exchange them back, then return all of Cangshi Town’s mining sites to us. Otherwise, there’s no need for further discussion."

As they were already at a numerical disadvantage, Chen Yang certainly couldn’t show weakness.

Immediately, he no longer concealed his aura, directly releasing his Condensation Realm power.

"Whoa... the great one is actually in the Condensation Realm."

"Such an overwhelming presence... we still have hope."

"Hahaha, stupid bullheads, don’t think only you have Dan Condensation experts. We have them too."

"This is fantastic, just fantastic; I suddenly feel confident. Let’s slaughter these Minotaurs."
