Chapter 329 More People Arrive

Ouyang Tang had not expected the seven demons to have such a level of mutual understanding and be able to join hands in an instant but with things as they were, he had nowhere to retreat to. He could only push forward. He immediately let out a roar, “Kill!”

A powerful and intimidating aura abruptly emanated from his body. The red blade in his hands gave off a blood-red sword light and it crashed forcefully toward the seven demons’ soft sword.

With a metallic clang, metal crashed together and sparks flew in all directions.

The seven soft swords flashed with seven colors and crashed with the blood-colored blade. The resulting force sent Ouyang Tang flying backwards.

Ouyang Tang flipped in the air and took three steps back when he landed on the ground. His blood roiled, an abnormal flush rose on his face, and his eyes carried a powerful sense of fear.

The seven demons also did not seem to fare well. They also took three steps back and their face was deathly pale. They looked warily at Ouyang Tang but did not continue to attack.

Who would have thought that the seven demons would be equal to a martial artist in the advanced levels of Earth Martial Arts Realm, like Ouyang Tang, once they joined together? When the crowd looked again at the seven demons, there was an additional sense of focus in their expressions.

However, no one expected that Yun Yi, seeming to be humiliated by his behavior previously, would suddenly attack as both sides each treated the other with caution and was about to both withdraw. Angry and humiliated, Yun Yi reached toward his waist and a blood-colored weapon that looked like the tooth of a giant beast appeared in his hands as he charged to the seventh demon who was closest to him.

“Seventh sister, be careful!”

The big brother of the seven demons took in this scene with a sweep of his eyes and his expression immediately changed as he let out a startled cry. Without any hesitation, he leaped toward Yun Yi.

But the seventh brother had his back turned to Yun Yi and had not considered him to be of any importance. How could he expect that the wretch would dare to attack him? Hearing his big brother’s reminder, he only blinked in confusion. By the time he sensed the wind behind him, it was too late.

Action was faster than words. With a wild ferociousness on Yun Yi’s face, he plunged the “beast’s tooth” ruthlessly into the seventh brother’s back.

“Do you want to die?”

The seventh brother felt pain like the bite of a mosquito on his back. Realizing he had been the target of a sneak attack, his anger roared into flame and a ferocious ruthlessness appeared on his make-up covered face. He turned and swung a hand into Yun Yi’s head.

“Leave it!”

Wild delight broke out in Ouyang Tang’s heart. He had not thought Yun Yi’s sneak attack would be successful. The Seven Demons of Cangnan were no longer a threat. Stepping forward, he rose like a shooting star and blocked the eldest brother’s attack then sent him flying back with one hit.

Only he knew blood tooth’s blood-sucking characteristics. Once someone was struck by the blood tooth, it would wildly suck away the victim’s blood. In an instant, the victim would become a mummy. This was the reason Yun Yi was so confident and arrogant all the time.

“Ah…”

A scream rang out. The seventh brother’s anger-driven strike landed ruthlessly on Yun Yi’s forehead but it was soft and powerless.

Yun Yi’s face was filled with a cruel smile. Like a vicious beast that could swallow someone up in one bite, he kicked the seventh brother’s butt, pulled out the blood tooth and spat. “Godd*mn ladyboy, go die!”

With a plop, the seventh brother fell to the ground like a log. When he landed, he had already become a dried corpse. This made everyone’s expression change and a powerful sense of shock flashed through their eyes. Only Ning Ye’s eyes flashed with light, as if he was thinking of something.

“Seventh sister!”

“Big sister!”

The Seven Demons of Cangnan who had been so intimidating and scary a moment ago, suddenly had one dead and one injured. Only now did the other five demons come to their senses and they angrily and sadly supported their leader, whose face was golden paper and was spitting out fresh blood. They looked at seventh sister’s dried corpse and tragic cries came from their mouths.

“Let go, quickly!”

The eldest demon pulled himself together. He knew that if anything went wrong, they would all die here today. Not even daring to speak of revenge, he spoke with anxiousness and urgency.

“You want to leave? No way!”

Ouyang Tang always returned every slight. Just earlier, he had been forced to retreat by the seven demon’s joined attack, how could he let them go? In a flash, he had moved to block the seven demons’ path of escape. A cold smile stretched across his face.

The expressions of the seven demons changed together. Sorrowfully, the second brother said, “Killing is nothing more than a fall of the head. Our seventh sister has already been killed by you, what more do you want?”

“Humph, if one does not remove the roots, weeds will grow again with the spring breeze. Since this grudge has already been conceived, do you think I will let you go?”

A cynical smile lurked at the corners of Ouyang Tang’s mouth and he spoke coldly.

“Blood Demon, do you really think we are afraid of you? We are just worried about our elder sister’s injuries and so do not want to quibble with you. If you keep blocking us, don’t blame us if we fight you to the bitter end.”

The third demon said with an outward show of strength.

“Hahaha, are you trying to scare me? I was not afraid when all seven of you were present. Now there are only five, do you think I will be scared?”

Ouyang Tang laughed smugly and his expression was teasing.

The second demon’s expression was dark. “Blood Demon, you indeed have the skill to keep us all here but we also have the confidence that we can injure you severely. However, I can tell you that your disciple will certainly die today. If you believe me, try us! Array!”

As his words fell from his lips, the other four demons let go of their eldest sibling and, stepping through some mystical paces, they each took a position with their soft swords in their hands as they encircled Ouyang Tang and his disciple.

Seeing that the five demons still had some tricks, his expression flickered uncertainly. He was confident that he could escape safely but he was not sure he could ensure Yun Yi’s safety.

Besides, he was here to search for the treasure. If he was injured in the fight and lost the opportunity to someone else, that would not be worth it.

In any case, one of the seven demons was dead. It was impossible for them to form the most threatening joined attack. They were no longer a concern. There was no need to go to such desperate lengths with them.

He immediately huffed coldly. “Heaven rewards those who treasure life. Seeing that you’ve already lost a “sister”, I won’t quibble with you any further today. Get lost!”

“Master…”

Yun Yi called out unwillingly and received a glare from Ouyang Tang in return. He forced his words back with an expression of injustice.

“Let’s go…”

Arrayed in a battle formation as if facing a great enemy, the five demons protected their eldest sibling as they retreated, to defend against a sneak attack from Ouyang Tang.

Plop.

The third demon screamed and looked down in disbelief at the bright tip of the sword that protruded from his chest. His gaze gradually dimmed before he fell to the ground with a thud.

“Third sister!”

“Third sister!”

“Song Xifeng, how despicable!”

The second demon’s gaze was boiling with rage as he stared at Song Xifeng and swore.

However, Song Xifeng’s expression was dazed. He rubbed his eyes as if he wasn’t fully awake and looked at the sword in his hand which was still pushed through the third demon’s body. A trace of confusion flashed through his eyes and he muttered in a low voice, “How could this happen?”

Haha, thank you brother Xifeng for your assistance. The Seven Demons of Cangnan have done many evils. Us joining hands to get rid of them can be considered doing a good deed for the people.”

Ouyang Tang laughed excitedly and rose into the air like a hawk. The blood-colored blade gave off a thousand rays of red light as he moved toward the remaining four demons.

“Husband, what are you waiting for? Since animosity has already fomented, it needs to be fully removed. What are you waiting for?”

Liu Piaopiao stretched out her hand and pulled out the long sword at her waist, moving first toward the sixth demon.

Song Xifeng shook his head, his expression was stunned. Just then, he killed the third demon without any conscious thought at all. This made him think of the strange things that happen on this haunted island. Alarmed and scared, he decided the leave as quickly as possible.

But before that, Liu Piaopiao was right. Since he had formed an animosity with the Seven Demons of Cangnan, he must get rid of the problem from the roots to prevent troubles in the future.

Sword in hand, his figure flashed as he entered into the battle. Three warriors at the Earth Martial Arts Realm against four warriors at the apex of the Xuan Martial Arts Realm. Each fought alone so that the demons were unable to unite and form a battle formation, thus the result was as expected.

The Seven Demons of Cangnan who had done much evil were killed in the blink of an eye. Even the heavily injured eldest demon did not escape the fate of death. His dim eyes stared at the sky, grievance remaining even in death.

Having removed a huge concern, Ouyang Tang was feeling very happy. He could not resist laughing loudly and said, “Brother Xifeng, we’ve allied together in battle now. How about we join forces again?”

“What do you mean?”

Holding onto Liu Piaopiao, Song Xifeng looked at Ouyang Tang warily.

A dark and ruthless expression flashed through Ouyang Tang’s eyes. Without making a sound, he motioned toward Ning Ye with pursed lips, indicating the three of them should join forces and kill Ning Ye.

Song Xifeng’s expression was unkind and he coldly said, “I’m not interested. Piaopiao and I are leaving now.”

“Leaving? Why?”

Ouyang Tang started. He did not believe the couple would give up searching for the treasure.

“Husband, what are you talking about? We finally have this opportunity, how can we leave?”

Liu Piaopiao was anxious and she asked in disbelief.

Song Xifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly. “This place is too strange. I did not intend to sneak attack the third demon just now.”

“Not what you intended? What do you mean?”

Liu Piaopiao asked, puzzled.

Song Xifeng coughed dryly and said with alarm and fear, “Not what I intended means that I had not thought about attacking the third demon. I was controlled by a mysterious power and that’s why I killed him.”

“Ah! How is that possible?”

Liu Piaopiao stared with wide eyes and asked in disbelief.

With an unkind expression, Ouyang Tang said, “Brother Xifeng, even if you don’t want to join me, there’s no need to make up such ridiculous reasons, right?”

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. In any case, I’m telling the truth. Don’t forget, this is Ghost Island. Whoever wants to stay can stay, but I am leaving now.”

Song Xifeng said with a very unfriendly expression.

Women were always more afraid of ghosts and such and Liu Piaopiao was not an exception. Furthermore, Song Xifeng was her husband and she knew that he would not say such things without reason. Hearing his words, her face turned pale with fright. “I’m getting goosebumps listening to you. Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Ouyang Tang was unwilling. If Song Xifeng and Liu Piaopiao left, it would just be him left to face the unfathomable Ning Ye. He would have no chance of victory.

He immediately stepped forward and stopped them. “You can’t go.”

“Blood Demon, are you going to fight us?”

Song Xifeng asked angrily as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

“This… ”

Looking at the couple ready to fight at any moment, Ouyang Tang’s expression became conflicted. He did not want to fight Song Xifeng and his wife. Regardless of whether he could win or not, even if he could win, he would have to pay a heavy price. However, he was unwilling to let Song Xifeng just leave like this. He thought hard, trying to find the words to convince this couple to join hands with him in killing Ning Ye.

“Ah, so many people are here. I thought we were the first.”

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate and were about to break out into a fight, a surprised voice came from a distance.

Everyone turned toward the sound to see a dark-faced honest-looking farmer-like middle-aged man moving quickly in this direction, carrying an enormous ax on his back.

“Qiaofu, wait for me, are you sure this is the place?”

Just as killing intent flashed through Ouyang Tang’s eyes and he was about to suddenly attack and kill the newcomer, another hearty voice came from behind the farmer.

An old man wearing a straw hat and straw rain cape followed behind the farmer and approached with a smile.

“The scenery here is so beautiful that I should read a poem.”

“Stupid scholar, don’t make such troubles, and find out where the treasure is instead. This is the Ghost Island where I got goosebumps the moment I arrived.”

This was not the end. Behind the man wearing straw rain cape, there was a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and fat man wearing landlord robes.

Ouyang Tang’s expression changed and he croaked. “Woodman, Fishman, Scholar, and Landlord Qian.”
