Chapter 261 - Lending a Helping Hand
As soon as Scarface struck, his fingers became indestructible like an eagle’s claw, tearing through the air and producing a sharp noise.
Chhla!
“Northern Goshawk Thirteen Claws!”
He unleashed the attack with both hands, channeling primal energy into formidable eagle-like talons that darted menacingly toward Uncle Fu.

Facing Scarface’s attack, Uncle Fu’s indifferent expression suddenly changed.
He formed a seal with both hands, and his primeval force condensed into a thirty-foot-tall stone tablet. Floating in the air, it crashed toward the eagle claw.
Bang, bang, bang...
The terrifying sharp claws fell onto the heavenly tablets. Banging noises rang out repeatedly. The sound of something cracking rang out; soon, the claws broke Uncle Fu’s tablet.
Boom tch!
Following a dull noise, the thirty-foot large heavenly tablet shattered and exploded mid-air. The shattered pieces flew out in all directions with great force.
Scarface’s figure blurred, and he closed in on Uncle Fu with a savage smile. He executed the Northern Goshawk Thirteen Claws again.
“Die, old man!”
Whoosh.
His qi surged, and ethereal claw-like shapes materialized in the air, enveloping Uncle Fu. A look of terror crossed his face as he sensed a sharp pain on his skin.
Uncle Fu had assumed that Scarface and his gang were simple bandits. Even though Scarface was also at the fourth level, his foundation and strength should not be a match for Uncle Fu’s.
However, in the heat of their exchange, Uncle Fu swiftly realized his miscalculation—he was no match for Scarface.
“Ah!”
Following a miserable cry, the claws easily penetrated Uncle Fu’s protective primeval force. The sharp claws tore him to shreds, and fresh blood spattered everywhere.
The expressions of Chu Xuan’er, the youth with the paper fan, and the others became pale.
Uncle Fu, the strongest among them, had succumbed effortlessly to Scarface—a horrifying realization.
The teeth of the youth with the paper fan clattered with fear. Still, he said, “You... How dare you kill Uncle Fu!”
Scarface laughed savagely and said, “Pretty boy, you said you wanted to break my limbs, didn’t you?”
“......”
The group of bandits also laughed exaggeratedly.
Scarface moved again, ripping apart the youth’s last remaining limb. He said coldly, “I don’t give a damn if you’re a princess or whatnot. Who will know if I killed you people? Little chick, just be good and prepare to be my chieftress. Hahahaha.”
“Run, Young Miss!” pleaded an old woman behind Chu Xuan’er, looking anxious.
She, too, was at the fourth level, comparable in strength to Uncle Fu but no match for Scarface.
Her Young Miss’ status was extraordinary. She was the daughter of the Calm Sun Marquis, a member of the royal family—a true princess.
With this kind of status, she could do as she liked, even in the imperial city.
Alas, her status as a princess could have let her threaten others, but it was useless against these murderous savages.
“Thinking of running? A woman I’ve taken a fancy to wants to run? Brothers, kill them! Pay attention not to hurt my woman, understand?”
Scarface waved his hand. Immediately, the eight hundred bandits behind him charged toward Chu Xuan’er’s group like a flood.
“Quickly run, Young Miss! This old woman will stop him!” roared Granny Rong, Chu Xuan’er’s protector, and unleashed her cultivation. She would fight Scarface alone to buy some time for Chu Xuan’er to escape.
Chu Xuan’er's eyes turned red as she watched Granny Rong sacrifice herself.
“Granny!”
“Go, Xuan’er, or we’ll all die here. When we escape from here and return to the clan, I’ll surely bring my clan’s experts to wipe them out!” Zhao Yuan said. Without a second thought, he abandoned Chu Xuan’er and fled.
Zhao Yuan and the youth with the paper fan were Chu Xuan’er’s suitors; in the face of a life-or-death crisis, even she wasn't the top priority.
Amid the chaos, someone rode on a Demon Horse outside Cloudsun Town. "Hmm, there’s a small town ahead. It’s perfect to take a break and have a drink."
Chen Fan, weary from travel, spotted Cloudsun Town and planned to rest there. As he approached, he noticed Zhao Yuan running toward him in sheer terror.
He saw the situation inside Cloudsun Town, and a fierce killing intent immediately surged from him.
Seeing Zhao Yuan fleeing while Granny Rong faced Scarface selflessly, Chu Xuan’er recognized the extreme danger. If she stayed, the sacrifices of Granny Rong and others would be in vain.
Immediately, she wiped away her tears and turned to flee.
Suddenly, a fierce sword light whistled over from outside the town, exploding amid the bandits.
Dozens, if not a hundred, of Qigong realm bandits died. Fresh blood shot out like arrows, and dismembered limbs flew everywhere.
Scarface had smashed the youth’s head with a slap and was about to kill Granny Rong when this streak of sword light surprised him. He stopped, looked around with a fierce gaze, and said coldly, “Who is it? Show yourself!”
