At this moment, four or five Korean Soldiers, armed with long guns and short knives, were escorting several Camel Drivers back.
The Korean Soldiers shouted and yelled, their weapons pointed directly at the Camel Drivers, exuding an intimidating presence. If the Camel Drivers showed any signs of resistance, they would likely be killed on the spot.
Not long after leaving this place, the Camel Drivers were intercepted by the Korean Soldiers led by the White-Browed Ancestor, who threatened them to return with the Camels loaded with Treasure, or they would be killed.
Ten Camel Drivers were leading over twenty Camels. Although the group seemed small, they did not dare to confront the Korean Soldiers.
After all, the other side was a Regular Army, wielding real weapons that gleamed coldly. They did not want to comply but felt compelled to submit under such pressure.
Although half of the Camel Drivers began to flee with their Camels on the spot, the remaining half was captured. Half of the Camels carrying Treasure were also driven back.
Seeing this scene, Princess Zhulan and the others felt disheartened. The already limited amount of Treasure had now been reduced by half, falling into Korean hands, which was truly infuriating.
The four or five soldiers from Korea forced the Camel Drivers to drive their Camels forward, slowly passing in front of everyone as they returned in the direction they came from.
Princess Zhulan's expression changed slightly as she watched nearly half of the Treasure fall into Korean hands, feeling utterly helpless.
At this urgent moment, everything was due to their own lack of strength, and Lu Chen was not here; it was uncertain how things were going.
However, Princess Zhulan could not rely on Lu Chen because he might be in danger himself; she had to find a way on her own.
Taking advantage of Tu Youdong and Old Mu struggling to deal with the White-Browed Ancestor, Princess Zhulan and the others hurriedly sat down cross-legged to desperately recover their Yang Yuan without delay.
Tu Youdong and Old Mu joined forces against the White-Browed Ancestor, and the battle continued.
Tu Youdong unleashed a powerful palm technique and struck fiercely against the White-Browed Ancestor. Both sides exchanged blows with each other.
Old Mu executed a Thunderbolt Star Strike, swiftly weaving through between them and delivering a punch toward the White-Browed Ancestor, but it was easily deflected by his opponent.
White-Browed Ancestor let out a cold laugh and said, "Hmph, the Crazy Serpent Seven Star Classic, is it? This is a set of techniques from my Star Gate's Qigong system. Although I don't know how it ended up in your filthy hands, it seems to have been modified, its power far exceeding the original. I really don't understand how someone as useless as you managed to do that."
His words were directed at Old Mu, who was surprised that the Crazy Serpent Seven Star Classic had been altered, its power significantly greater than the original version, which left him somewhat astonished.
Despite White-Browed Ancestor's cold sarcasm, Old Mu remained unfazed, his expression as calm as water, never showing any sign of emotion.
This was thanks to his past as a slave to a landlord, giving him a mindset that was not comparable to ordinary people. However, the landlord had left him disheartened; now, Old Mu only listened to Lu Chen. Everything he possessed was granted to him by Lu Chen.
He regarded Lu Chen as his master and would follow only his commands; no one else could make Old Mu obey.
White-Browed Ancestor continued, "But what does that amount to? With your levels of Qigong, you haven't even entered the realm of Divine Power Body. You are still too young to contend with me."
With that, White-Browed Ancestor let out a hearty laugh, opened his arms wide, and charged into the fray, continuing to engage in battle with Tu Youdong and Old Mu.
White-Browed Ancestor Flesh soared high above the two's heads, his fist like an iron hammer, crashing down from several meters in the air.
Seeing this overwhelming force, Old Mu and Tu Youdong dared not take it head-on; they rolled away to dodge.
When White-Browed Ancestor's iron fist struck the ground, it shattered stone and cracked the originally solid Stone Mountain, creating a deep fissure.
With a sharp glint in his eyes and a wicked smile on his lips, White-Browed Ancestor moved with agility like a monkey. His long legs swept through the air like steel whips, stirring up clouds of dust and debris in a breathtaking display.
Old Mu and Tu Youdong did not dare to be careless; they quickly jumped up to evade White-Browed Ancestor's sweeping kick while simultaneously employing their unique techniques to close in on him with an unusual movement style. Their fists struck down like the wind.
As White-Browed Ancestor Flesh spun and leaped into the air, a powerful surge of True Qi erupted from within him, sending both Old Mu and Tu Youdong, who attempted to get close again, flying back once more.
The three engaged in back-and-forth combat, with bursts of True Qi shooting out in all directions like waves.
Before long, Old Mu and Tu Youdong showed signs of being unable to hold on any longer, their attacks noticeably slowing down and lacking the agility they had earlier.
Tu Youdong and Old Mu managed to delay the White-Browed Ancestor for nearly a quarter of an hour. During this time, Princess Zhulan and the others had already stabilized the Bones bloodline and regained their vigor.
In an instant, Princess Zhulan, Lian Dashuang, and the three brothers Jiang Jie, Lu Renjia, and Jiang Youdang—five people in total—jumped up from the ground almost simultaneously and charged towards the White-Browed Ancestor.
This time, with seven people surrounding one opponent, they surprisingly gained a slight upper hand, preventing an immediate defeat.
If it were solely up to Tu Youdong and Old Mu to deal with the White-Browed Ancestor, their limited strength would eventually lead to their downfall; they were far from being a match.
The White-Browed Ancestor had reached the level of Divine Power Body, with a long-lasting aura and stamina that far exceeded that of ordinary people.
However, from the very beginning, once the White-Browed Ancestor joined the fray, he used all his strength in every attack, aiming to kill with ruthless precision. This fighting style consumed a considerable amount of his energy.
As the seven surrounded him, two would form a pair to attack in turns with punches, palms, grabs, and kicks.
When the first two were knocked back, the next two immediately followed up and rushed into the battle circle to attack the White-Browed Ancestor.
For a time, both sides were locked in a stalemate; however, it was still apparent that the White-Browed Ancestor held a slight advantage, suppressing Princess Zhulan and her companions so they could not fight back effectively.
At this moment, the battle had been ongoing for half an hour. Both sides exchanged various attacks and retreats without determining a clear victor.
Meanwhile, the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors who had been lying unconscious on the ground began to wake up during this time.
These twelve had endured the most ferocious blow from the White-Browed Ancestor—a strike so powerful it was unimaginable.
As a result, they were immediately stunned and nearly lost consciousness. Fortunately, with Tu Youdong and Old Mu tying up the White-Browed Ancestor, they bought precious time for these twelve to gradually recover from their daze.
Immediately, the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors picked up their fallen short blades and joined the battle formation not far away.
At this moment, the White-Browed Ancestor had also consumed a considerable amount of stamina and was slightly fatigued. However, he was confident that if the fight continued, he could eliminate everyone present without leaving a single one behind.
Thus, the White-Browed Ancestor maintained an incredibly proud demeanor, completely disregarding the people before him.
With the addition of the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors, the situation turned into a siege of nineteen against one. Each of the nineteen was a Qi Gong Master, capable of standing their ground alone, but at this moment, their sole target was the White-Browed Ancestor.
Princess Zhulan felt relieved upon seeing the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors join the fray. She understood their strength. Even if they were all knocked down by the White-Browed Ancestor at once, it did not mean they were weak.
On the contrary, their ability to withstand a full-force strike from the White-Browed Ancestor without dying was enough to demonstrate their power.
The twelve of them surrounding a Qi Master who had just entered the Divine Power Body stage would definitely not be at a disadvantage; Princess Zhulan was very clear about this.
With the addition of the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors, there was now a slightly better chance of victory, but Princess Zhulan's mind was not focused on that.
Moreover, the White-Browed Ancestor was incredibly formidable, with countless tactics at his disposal. If they continued to tremble in fear like this, the final outcome would still be difficult to achieve.
Therefore, Princess Zhulan's mood did not lighten much with the arrival of the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors.
She stepped back from the battle circle, her face changing color as she shouted, "Bear Demon Death Warriors will cover our retreat; everyone else withdraw quickly and without error."
At this moment, Princess Zhulan appeared to be the most authoritative person in the entire team.
As soon as her words were spoken, everyone began to prepare to leave the battlefield in pairs, leaving behind the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors to hold off any pursuers.
Seeing the enemies retreating one after another made the White-Browed Ancestor feel somewhat anxious. He had originally intended to seize one amidst the chaos and kill them instantly; doing so would surely deal a significant blow to Princess Zhulan and her group.
But just as his arm reached out, ready to grab a ghost that was less than ten years old, several gleaming short knives appeared in front of him, nearly slicing his arm.
Although the Divine Power Body is impervious to blades and guns, some magical knife edges, particularly those with heavy malevolence, can cut through the Vitality Barrier of the Divine Power Body.
The Vitality Barrier is a protective shield that envelops the Qi Master. This layer of protection prevents the Qi Master from being harmed by Yin Spirits.
Those weaker Yin Spirits will immediately be burned upon contact with this layer of blood and qi barrier; if they linger too long, they may be incinerated to ashes.
Especially for higher-level Qi Masters, the Vitality Barrier that clings to the surface of their flesh becomes denser and thicker, making it nearly impossible for ordinary individuals to break through.
Thus, the Divine Power Body in Qigong Martial Arts is also known as the Indestructible Divine Body, resistant to blades and swords.
As several short knives slashed toward him, the White-Browed Ancestor hurriedly retracted his arm and stepped back two paces.
At this moment, he was experiencing significant physical exhaustion and gradually found himself unable to contend with the nineteen individuals before him, helplessly watching as the core figure among them escaped the scene.
Then, he was left with twelve incredibly difficult Death Warriors. These individuals were bizarrely formidable, clad in bear skin armor that provided extremely high defense; they were unafraid even when struck.
