Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2231 - 2187: The Opening of the Cave Mansion

"You... you, I’m gonna cut you down!" The big man was left speechless and deeply felt humiliated in front of everyone.

Instantly enraged, he swung his sword at Tu Qi.

The sharp sword whistled past, but Tu Qi reacted swiftly, quickly jumping back, perfectly dodging the attack.

"Angry and attacking directly? Fine, bring it on, whoever wimps out is the grandson." Tu Qi didn’t hold back, picking up a cleaver and rushing forward.

In an instant, the two were fighting atop the mountain peak.

Clang clang clang...

The two exchanged moves, attacking and defending, with the sword edges and blade constantly clashing, producing a series of metallic sounds.

Tu Qi might look fat, but his movements in battle were quite agile.

Moreover, his two cleavers were not swung randomly, but with a methodical approach.

It was clear he had specifically learned certain techniques, hence his skill.

Otherwise, there was no way he could wield two cleavers so smoothly, not a bit inferior to the man’s profound-grade swordsmanship.

In fact, in some minor details, Tu Qi’s knife skills were even more intricate.

More profound.

"Alright, Old Li!"

Just as the two were getting more into the fight, suddenly a middle-aged man interrupted them.

Hearing the voice, the two immediately separated from their intense state.

"City Lord, this kid is too glib, humiliating me too much. I must cut him down today!" The man gritted his teeth, looking unwilling.

The middle-aged man, pretending to be unconcerned and with an upright demeanor, said, "Old Li, this young friend has some reason. Eliminating the Evil Sect is indeed a good thing for us."

"For this point alone, you shouldn’t take it to heart, just let them stay here."

"Hmph." The man called Old Li snorted coldly, slowly sheathing his sword, "Kid, if not for the City Lord speaking, I’d surely butcher you today."

"Old man, what are you boasting about? Your grandfather’s Thirty-two Knife Skills have only reached the third move, who knows who’s going to die!" Tu Qi retorted fearlessly.

However, he didn’t intend to continue the fight because the volcanic pressure was already stirring restlessly.

There was always a possibility of a sudden collapse.

It’s not suitable to battle desperately at this time.

If they exhaust their strength now, how will they handle it inside?

"Hmph!" Old Li was quite angry, but he didn’t say anything further, striding back to the middle-aged man.

And Tu Qi returned to Chen Yang’s side.

"Your knife skills are impressive, where did you learn them?"

Upon Tu Qi’s return, Chen Yang immediately smiled and asked.

"Family heritage." Tu Qi smiled, answered.

Hearing this, Chen Yang also smiled and didn’t say much more, silently waiting.

During the wait, he scanned the surroundings with his eyes.

He found that the people on the mountain peak could be roughly divided into six factions.

Some had more people, some less.

Uneven in levels.

However, in terms of the strongest power, it was probably the group at the end.

They all wore bright red robes, both men and women, led by a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, exuding nobility with every action.

From the way people around addressed him and showed him respect,

He should be the planner of this action, the instigator of this secretive operation, the City Lord of Chi Yang City, Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was powerful, and so were his companions.

Chen Yang glanced and could tell he was at least in the mid-stage Condensation Realm, and very close to the later stage.

And he had seven experts by his side, all in the Condensation Realm.

This lineup might not count for much at Cangnan Academy, but in this border town, it was definitely a luxury lineup.

After all, other factions did not have a leader as strong as Wang Yuan, nor did they have as many Condensation experts.

Most had four or five, including the strongest making about six.

Exactly two to three fewer compared to Wang Yuan’s forces.

And speaking of the weakest apparent strength, it was surely represented by Chen Yang and Tu Qi from Weng City.

They were only two people, and their aura wasn’t very strong, so many people didn’t focus much on them after the conflict.

They were engaged in mutual discussions.

"Fellow practitioners, outside, we might be acquaintances, friends, but once we enter the stronghold, let me remind everyone."

"In the face of opportunities, anything can happen. If lives are lost, there’s no going back for revenge."

"This is the rule every time we enter the stronghold, and I hope everyone can adhere to it."

Wang Yuan turned and spoke to everyone.

He’s trying to reduce competitors with an implied threat.

His team is so strong, and now saying this, some weaker teams and individuals might have second thoughts about entering.

After all, it could be perilous inside the stronghold, and hearing such words from Wang Yuan only heightens the insecurity.

However, despite their worries, everyone was already here, and such a great opportunity laid before them, nobody was willing to leave.

"City Lord Wang, we can abide by this rule. After all, competing for opportunities is natural, and if we overdo it, no one can be blamed."

Another middle-aged man answered with a smile.

He was a City Lord from another town near Chi Yang City.

"We can all abide by it, rest assured, City Lord Wang."

"There is fate in life and death within the stronghold. If we weren’t prepared for this, we wouldn’t have come."

Once someone responded, others also began to express their agreement.

"Mm."

Wang Yuan was very pleased with everyone’s responses, nodding repeatedly.

"Hey, kid, why aren’t you two speaking? Could it be that you’re scared after hearing the City Lord’s words?" Old Li noticed Chen Yang and Tu Qi were silent, and immediately assumed they were scared, mocking them right away.

Tu Qi sneered continuously; this guy wasn’t much in terms of strength and was rather obnoxious in character.

Being scolded before, he still couldn’t take a hint.

"Which eye of yours saw your two grandfathers getting scared? Rest assured, even if you die, your two grandfathers will definitely not be scared." Tu Qi retorted directly.

"You..." Old Li was furious, drawing his sword to fight again.

But their City Lord stopped him.

"Old Li, why bother with him over this? Searching for opportunity within the stronghold is important. Settling verbal disputes can wait until after." The City Lord completely resolved the situation.

Old Li, upon hearing this, fell silent once more.

And then the entire mountain peak fell into silence.

Everyone’s gaze quietly watched toward the volcano’s direction, waiting for the pressure to disappear at any moment.

After waiting for about five to six hours, the sky gradually darkened.

Yet around the volcano, it was as bright as daylight.

Because the heat inside the volcano was immense, and the light from the burning was considerable, illuminating the surroundings.

Seeing that a day had passed and the pressure still hadn’t disappeared, many thought perhaps it wouldn’t vanish today.

But just as many relaxed their guard, a sudden loud explosion echoed, and the entire volcano’s light grew even more intense, like a sudden transformation into a huge sun.

Scorching, bright.

So bright that some couldn’t open their eyes.

Fortunately, this situation didn’t last long.

It was only a moment.
