Super God Grandmaster-Chapter 68 - 64 Ambush
Chapter 68: Chapter 64: Ambush
Chapter 68 -64: Ambush
Arrows flew out in rows, with three disciples already fallen.
Ren Xiongbei exclaimed in panic, “It’s bad, we have been ambushed.” He quickly jumped off the horse.
They retreated and adopted a defensive position. Peng Zhijie born of astonishment asked, “Ambush, who dares to ambush us?”
Killing cry rose from both sides, each led by Shi Tuo and Huan Huo.
A disciple from that side said, “It’s the people from the Evil Domain.”
“What, so the people of the Evil Domain have really come to the Central Plains!”
Ren Xiongbei became somewhat doubtful. Were these people just here to ambush them, or did they have other motivations, to avenge what happened ten years ago?
As a result, Huan Huo, who was leading the charge, shouted, “Get a hold of Su Hong’s mistress in the horse car and Su Hong’s illegitimate son.”
Peng Zhijie’s eyes widened at his words.
With a thought, Ren Xiongbei immediately realized what was happening. He shouted, “Protect Ye Xue and Ye Chen.”
Peng Zhijie asked, “What do the people from the Evil Domain want to capture them for?”
Ren Xiongbei said, “They definitely want to use them to blackmail our Sect Leader. It’s probably a hostage exchange for Shi Xuetian from the Hell Tower.”
Peng Zhijie quickly understood.
The people of the Evil Domain on both sides surged up in anger.
Ren Xiongbei laid out his unique formation, like a triangle, which began to take effect.
However, there were only about thirty of them and over a hundred from the other side. No matter how superior their formation was, it could not withstand the endless onslaught.
This formation was somewhat similar to the Golden Bell Cover. Most people took the defensive position, and those who had better martial arts skills dealt with the people rushing towards them, creating a sense of readiness and intimidation.
Peng Zhijie charged towards the approaching Huan Huo, shouting, “You bunch of demons, itchy for a fight since you weren’t wiped out the last time, daring to come back to the Central Plains. Don’t be afraid that we’ll wipe you all out.”
“It’s still too early to say who will wipe out whom today. You brat, how dare you be so arrogant!” Four or five clusters of black clouds leaped forward, forcing Peng Zhijie to retreat several steps.
The resistant Peng Zhijie, Ren Xiongbei’s proudest disciple, and also a respected new-generation youth in Immortal City, threw his sword directly towards the charging Huan Huo.
The blades and sword shadows flew chaotically, but they couldn’t stop Huan Huo who was swiftly charging. With a loud bang, a palm attack repelled his sword and several dark shadows were again released, rushing towards the crowd.
The disciples at the forefront immediately joined together and conjured an energy barrier. The powerful dark shadow, carried on the thick smoke, moved like a ghost, but was blocked outside the barrier.
Ren Xiongbei went to the horse car, and Ye Xue and Ye Chen had already come down from it.
Ren Xiongbei said, “Don’t run around, stick with us.”
Ye Xue watched as a dense crowd charged over.
Ren Xiongbei sent out a signal for help, the distress signal of the Immortal and Demon world. Any disciple of the Immortal and Demon realm would come to help as fast as they could. But help from afar might not quench a fire at hand in this remote mountain place. However, facing so many disciples from the Evil Domain they had no choice but to send a signal first.
Shi Tuo said, “Hehe, you want help? I’d like to see how you can get reinforcements in this remote place. Kill them first.”

Immediately, a large group surged over.
Ren Xiongbei quickly charged forward to meet Shi Tuo.
Ren Xiongbei’s martial arts were not to be underestimated. Initially, several streams of energy rushed out like a flood, pushing back the unstoppable Shi Tuo.
Shi Tuo drew the twin blades from his waist and attacked Ren Xiongbei from both sides, shouting, “Unleash our Iron Rhinoceros.”
Seven or eight Iron Rhinoceros were released.
These people truly came prepared.
Ren Xiongbei and his team released their Immortal Beasts to fight with Shi Tuo. Despite seven or eight confrontations, no winner emerged. At that moment, Sheng Kong charged from behind. Joining forces with Shi Tuo, Ren Xiongbei, no matter how capable, was not able to fend off both masters. A punch came, a palm was thrown, and with a bang, they both were forced to step back at once.
The charging Shi Tuo seemed to transform into a sword dragon, taking advantage of Ren Xiongbei’s inability to respond in time.
Ren Xiongbei mustered an enormous energy surge, but it still sent him flying. Facing the aggressive Shi Tuo and Sheng Kong, Ren Xiongbei gradually felt his strength waning.
Sheng Kong saw an opportunity and shouted, “Capture Ren Xiongbei along with the others and kill the rest of them.”
Shi Tuo understood Sheng Kong’s intention. If they could take another pawn and threaten Su Hong with it, he didn’t believe Su Hong would be able to stand by and watch them die.
Peng Zhijie returned and said, “Master, we cannot continue like this. Their forces are too numerous. We must retreat. We cannot hold out here in this wilderness. It is unclear if there are any reinforcements coming and even if there are, it’s doubtful whether or not they can arrive on time!”
Ren Xiongbei nodded in agreement. He felt that was reasonable. It was not a time to act on emotions, but to think rationally.
Peng Zhijie looked up at the sky. After a two-hour battle, the sky was turning a gloomy grey, dusk was quickly approaching. If they could escape and use the cover of night, at least they could avoid perishing here.
Peng Zhijie continued, “Our disciples still have some stamina left. We must find a way to get Ye Xue and Ye Chen out of here, using the cover of nightfall. We can then seek help from fellow disciples of the Immortal-Demon realm nearby. We are greatly outnumbered, we can’t hold them off. This Iron Rhinoceros won’t take long to ally with them and break our formation.”
Peng Zhijie pointed to the right, “The bushes on the right are dense and difficult to pursue through. Master, lead them that way. I’ll stay back to cover you.”
Ren Xiongbei said, “No, you lead them. I’ll stay back.”
Peng Zhijie shouted, “Master, they are focused on you, Ye Xue, and Ye Chen. Those three are the targets, as Sheng Kong already mentioned. So, I should be fine! You just need to run. I can escape under the cover of darkness.” He turned and yelled, “Hurry up and protect the Master. Time to retreat!”
The others finally understood after hearing Peng Zhijie’s words, and several of them escorted Ren Xiongbei towards the right.
They prepared for the final standoff, ready to break the enemy lines.
Peng Zhijie said, “We only get one chance to break out. If our formation gets penetrated, we cannot defend it again. When the smoke rises, some of us must stay behind to distract them, allowing Master, Ye Chen, and Ye Xue time to escape. Then, we can follow. Understand?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ye Xue was guarding Ye Chen closely. Many Immortal City disciples were already injured, but they were still holding on. Ren Xiongbei ran over and said to Ye Xue, “Ye Xue, we have to break out, we can’t wait for backup. We must use the cover of night to escape. After the breakout, we’ll head to the right, the night is falling soon. When that happens, we’ll escape into the woods.”
“Can we make it?” Ye Xue asked.
“Even if we can’t make it, we can’t stay here. We must break free. In a while, we will try to tear open a hole from this side. Once we do, we’ll take you two out, then you must protect Ye Chen and stay close behind us.” He then handed them each a sword.
Ye Chen now understood. These people wanted to capture him to use as leverage against his father.
Ye Chen had never seen such scenes, beasts and Winged Dragons flying all about, furious shouts echoing everywhere. Unfortunately, he hadn’t mastered martial arts yet. If he had, he might have been of some use.
Demons from the Evil Domain were besieging them overwhelmingly. They couldn’t hold them off. The Iron Rhinoceroses, seemingly frenzied, charged at them with their horns. Despite the Immortal City disciples having unleashed their Immortal Beasts, they could hardly withstand the impact. No Immortal Beast could survive such a hit.
The bigger issue was the multitude of the Evil Domain’s forces that attacked in waves. They were completely surrounded with the encirclement slowly tightening, making it even harder to break out. Arrows were constantly flying in from outside.
Many disciples were already injured, barely managing to ignore their wounds.
The Winged Dragons in the sky were flustered as fireballs were being hurled at them constantly. They had to keep an eye on those as well.
Huan Huo was thrilled. Back in the day, the people from the Immortal-Demon realm had similarly surrounded them using superior numbers, leaving them with no chance of escape. It was only because Shi Xuetian had managed to single-handedly hold off the Immortal-Demon realm that a fraction of the Evil Domain disciples managed to escape the encirclement. That scene still lingered in his mind.
Huan Huo said, “Their formation is about to break. It won’t hold much longer. Don’t let a single one escape.”
The triangular formation was starting to deform.
Huan Huo was getting more and more excited, as if he had finally found an opportunity for revenge. He shouted, “Push harder in this direction. Let the rhinoceroses attack from this side. Send them to hell!”
The followers behind him understood his intention and immediately ordered two rhinoceroses to attack in that direction.
Peng Zhijie knew they only had one chance. Whether they could break out or not was beyond his control. Everything was ready, just the final command was required.
Peng Zhijie glanced back at Ren Xiongbei who gave him a subtle nod.
A thick cloud of white smoke billowed forward, released by the Immortal City disciples,
Shi Tuo on the other side shouted, “Not good, they’re breaking out. Surround them! Don’t let a single one escape.”
As soon as the smoke cloud appeared, a flurry of darts were released after, regardless of whether they hit or not. All darts were fired, pushing back the foes.
