Chapter 313 Forbidden Art

The rough man stroked the Broadsword in his hand and said helplessly, "Understood."

The Martial Artist in black robes laughed, "Heikui, if we charge out now, even if we win, many of our brothers will die. We are here for the loot; if too many people die, won't this operation be a loss for us?"

"It's still more comfortable in the mountains, where we can just rob anyone we run into. Unlike now, having to wait!" the rough man grumbled.

A burly Martial Artist nearby laughed, "Heikui, these aren't the days when we were just Robbers. Even if we robbed a lot back then, did we get as much as we do now? Ever since we started following our boss, every time we make a Move, don't we end up with full pockets?"

The rough man scratched his head and laughed sheepishly, "That's true too."

"Get ready to Move!" Suddenly, the Martial Artist in black robes wiped the smile from his face, looking into the battlefield with a serious expression.

All the Martial Artists present perked up, watching the battle with focused expressions.

"Zhang Shentian, don't think that just because you took a Medicinal Pill, you are my match. I only need to drag this out until the effects of the pill wear off, and you will undoubtedly die!" The Qu Family Head danced his sword perfectly, leaving no openings, while coldly watching the frantically attacking Zhang Shentian.

The Zhang Family Head's attacks completely disregarded the consumption of Spiritual Qi, using only high-consumption Moves. Although they were immensely powerful, the rate of Spiritual Qi depletion was also extremely fast.

"Qu Yuan, aren't you just trying to stall for time? Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" The Zhang Family Head gritted his teeth, staring intensely at the Qu Family Head. Indeed, the effects of the Medicinal Pill he had taken were about to fade. Once the effects wore off, the poison suppressed by the pill would erupt.

Merely resisting the poison had already consumed most of his Spiritual Qi; he was definitely no match for the Qu Family Head, which was why he was so desperate to end the battle.

However, it seemed he would not get his way. The Qu Family Head was clearly determined to drag him to his death; it seemed he had no choice but to fight with his life on the line.

Upon hearing the Zhang Family Head's resolute words, the Qu Family Head's heart tightened, and he said, "Family Head Zhang, as long as you abandon Chenyang City, I will allow you to take the Zhang Clan Members and leave."

The Zhang Family Head was a veteran Martial Ancestor; who knew what trump cards he might have? It was enough to force him away. As for the vengeance for his son's death, that would have to be set aside for now.

He was a father, but more importantly, he was the Qu Family Head. He could not abandon the entire Qu Family for the sake of one son.

He still had two other sons; if not for himself, he had to consider them.

Hearing the words of the Qu Family Head, the Zhang Family Head was somewhat tempted, but he quickly dismissed the Qu Family Head's condition.

His Zhang Family was a veteran Family in Chenyang City, having stayed in Chenyang City much longer than the Qu Family. Why should the Qu Family not retreat, while he, the Zhang Family, had to?

If he retreated, although the world was vast, where would there be a place for his Zhang Family to settle?

Furthermore, even if he wanted to retreat, there was no guarantee that the Qu Family Head wasn't using a delaying tactic, just waiting for his poison to flare up to take the lives of all the Zhang Clan Members.

He understood the Qu Family Head; he was a person with extreme ambition. He did not believe that the Qu Family Head would let his Zhang Family leave unscathed.

Thinking of this, the Zhang Family Head's expression turned resolute. The Spiritual Qi in his body surged violently, his gaze grew cold as ice, and his complexion slowly turned from red to purple.

"Forbidden Art."

Standing in the distance, Qin Ming watched the changes in the Zhang Family Head and narrowed his eyes.

"Qin Ming, what is wrong with the Zhang Family Head?" Qin Yuan was a Martial Ancestor Expert; he clearly saw the changes in the Zhang Family Head in the distance and asked in surprise.
