Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2240 - 2196: Attacking Each Other

Just like that, the people from City Lord Jin’s side were now eyeing Wang Yuan’s group with vigilance.

The originally amicable groups suddenly grew tense, both sides wary of each other.

"Conveniently, I have a living being to use."

At that moment, someone spoke up.

Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward him.

He produced a wolf carcass from his storage space.

"I usually enjoy some wild game, and I happened to have some on me for experimentation."

Saying this, he threw the wolf carcass into the magma river.

Once in the river, the wolf carcass was also corroded by the lava.

However, the corrosion effect was noticeably reduced.

The wolf carcass, half the size of a person, floated to the same position as the previous person’s attempt before sinking completely into the river.

Although it didn’t successfully cross the river,

everyone could see that the hooded man was telling the truth.

The wooden board from the previous attempt was at least three or four times the size of the wolf carcass,

yet it only reached that position.

The wolf carcass, only half the size of a person, crossed more than halfway.

Doesn’t this show that the method is feasible?

Swoosh.

After the method was proven, the groups of City Lord Jin and Wang Yuan quickly distanced themselves from each other.

Hostility arose, and they became adversarial.

Each side was afraid the other would suddenly attack, stepping over their bodies to cross the river.

"City Lord Jin, we came together; there’s no need for such mutual caution, right? We could always wait for the others to arrive and then think of a way. Perhaps someone among them has something that can cross the river."

Wang Yuan spoke up, not wanting to heighten the tension.

"Okay, then let’s wait."

Upon hearing, City Lord Jin’s demeanor relaxed.

Silence descended by the river.

But this eerie silence permeated everywhere.

After some time had passed, Wang Yuan, who had initially suggested waiting, suddenly struck.

He launched a sneak attack on City Lord Jin’s group.

"Thunder Palm!"

Wang Yuan shouted angrily, striking at the most arrogant Old Li.

Old Li was cocky by nature but lacked strength.

Caught off guard by Wang Yuan’s sneak attack, he was unable to retaliate.

Thud...

With one palm, Wang Yuan sent him flying five to six meters, blood gushing from his mouth...

"Wang Yuan, you—!"

City Lord Jin was astonished!

Though he was constantly wary, he hadn’t expected Wang Yuan to act so impatiently.

He struck out at them so soon.

"City Lord Jin, apologies. This city lord couldn’t wait any longer; today I’m stepping over your corpses to cross the river."

Wang Yuan revealed his vicious side, grievously injuring Old Li before ruthlessly activating the Thunder and Lightning Technique to attack City Lord Jin.

With both city leaders making moves, the others naturally wouldn’t stand idle; they also began fighting each other fiercely.

The riverbank that had been calm suddenly turned perilous, and they began slaughtering one another.

"You old scoundrel—shameless! Sneaking up, why not join forces to deal with the later arrivals instead?" City Lord Jin cursed angrily while fighting.

In reality, his strength was inferior to Wang Yuan’s, so he still sought to restore mutual balance.

But Wang Yuan had his own plans.

He couldn’t wait any longer!

He wanted to be the first to cross the river!

"Humph, City Lord Jin, you’re too naive. To this city lord, the biggest threat is you. How could I let you cross the river with me?"

Wang Yuan snorted coldly, increasing the ferocity of his attacks.

Both sides furiously clashed, fighting with intense fervor.

"Whoa—"

Witnessing this scene, Tu Qi was shocked.

Instinctively, he retreated a few steps, fearing the battle might spread to them.

"Chen Yang, what do we do? Join in?" Tu Qi was momentarily at a loss, seeing the chaos among dozens of people.

"No rush; I have a plan."

But Chen Yang remained calm.

Because he had a way to cross the river.

His storage space contained ample meat.

If he took it out, he could definitely cross the river.

There was no need for them to participate in this fight.

But now was not a good time to cross the river.

If he took out the frost bear carcass from his storage space now, they’d surely become everyone’s target.

Thus, he could only wait.

"Alright."

Without any ideas himself, Tu Qi followed Chen Yang’s lead.

Both stayed far away, not wanting to get involved.

However, despite their desire to distance themselves, others wouldn’t stop targeting them.

Under Wang Yuan’s relentless attacks, City Lord Jin was struggling.

Though they had numbers, Wang Yuan’s people were all strong fighters with vicious tactics.

His side was at a disadvantage.

Not wanting to become a stepping stone, he naturally sought to divert attention.

"Brother Wang, there’s no need to attack us; we could join forces and take down those two first. Don’t let them gain the upper hand."

Seeing how he was unable to withstand any more, City Lord Jin immediately resorted to sweet talk with Wang Yuan.

But Wang Yuan didn’t care about crossing with anyone.

He simply wanted to seize this chance to deal with City Lord Jin first.

Among the groups entering the cavern, City Lord Jin had the strength most comparable to theirs.

How could he allow someone like that to exist?

For him, Chen Yang and the others could be handled later, but the ambush now was the best chance to eliminate City Lord Jin.

If he didn’t solve it now, it would lead to endless trouble.

"Heh, I’ll kill them, but before that, I must kill you!" Wang Yuan’s expression turned cruel, laughing coldly like a demon from hell.

"Old scoundrel, you had your sights on me all along! But killing me won’t be that simple."

Seeing that sweet talk didn’t work, City Lord Jin stopped showing weakness.

In such a crucial moment, he had to fight to the death for a chance.

He roared as he desperately faced off against Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was at mid-stage condensation, nearing late stage strength.

City Lord Jin was at mid-stage condensation.

Actually, their strengths didn’t differ much.

Though Wang Yuan had the upper hand, killing City Lord Jin was definitely not easy.

The two engaged in a fierce, heart-pounding battle.

Seeing the stalemate between them, Chen Yang recognized his opportunity.

He quietly approached the riverbank and brought out the enormous frost bear carcass from his space.

"Quick, get on."

As soon as the carcass entered the river, Chen Yang jumped on first and beckoned Tu Qi to follow.

"Whoa, Brother Chen Yang, how do you have such a large piece of meat in your storage space?" Tu Qi was overjoyed, never expecting Chen Yang had such a valuable asset.

Even he, a food lover, didn’t have anything like it.

Laughing as he spoke, he jumped on too.

"City Lord, they are trying to leave!"

At this moment, one of Wang Yuan’s subordinates noticed Chen Yang and Tu Qi preparing to cross.

He shouted loudly.

Hmm?

Wang Yuan was startled.

He exchanged a strike with City Lord Jin, both disengaging, then they simultaneously rushed toward Chen Yang and Tu Qi, intent on stopping them from crossing the river.

The speed of crossing the river by floating wasn’t quick; without action, they’d actually be caught.

Chen Yang immediately drew the Stone-Cutting Sword, releasing Sword Qi toward Wang Yuan and his group to stop them from approaching.

Faced with the incoming Sword Qi whistle, Wang Yuan didn’t dare be careless and countered.

But this inevitably slowed his pursuit.

"Haha, still dreaming of catching us?"

Tu Qi also assisted from the side, launching various attacks to deter Wang Yuan’s group.

With such obstruction, the distance gradually increased.
