Longevity Begins with Internal Organs-Chapter 253 - 173: Final Battle (Part 1)

Even though it was just a simple question, Nie Jingnian felt his hair stand on end.

Fifth Realm!

And a strong one at that!

It’s important to know that although Yu Guizhi was only Fourth Realm, due to her extraordinary talent, her strength was quite impressive.

This is why Nie Jingnian couldn’t defeat her even after fighting for so long.

But this renowned Fourth Realm master was no better than a child in front of this elderly man with a tobacco pipe, who smashed her head effortlessly.

Thoughts surged in Nie Jingnian’s mind, and he discreetly increased his vigilance, his muscles tense, as he took half a step back.

"That’s right, it’s Yunxiao County, what brings you two seniors here at this late hour?"

"Haha, as long as it’s Yunxiao County, I told you taking the shortcut would be faster." The old man holding a tobacco pipe in his left hand said proudly.

The old man, holding the tobacco pipe in his right hand, smiled at Nie Jingnian, "Child, there’s no need to be nervous. We came from the Capital City to handle some matters. You’re a good kid; we won’t kill you."

Without waiting for Nie Jingnian to respond, the two figures leapt away, disappearing into the distance towards the city gate.

Nie Jingnian was shocked.

No need to ask, these two must be the experts summoned by Wei Hongbin from the Capital City.

Unacceptable.

This must be reported to Master and Zhao Ya immediately.

Thinking this, Nie Jingnian disregarded Yu Guizhi’s corpse and turned to run back into the city.

But with his speed, how could he catch up with these two old men?

He hadn’t even entered the city yet when the two had already arrived at the front of the government office. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

However, they didn’t rush in but stood on top of an arrow tower, looking down.

"Two at the half-step Fifth Realm, the rest are just some Third and Fourth Realm martial artists, not worth worrying about," said the old man with the tobacco pipe in his left hand calmly.

The other old man didn’t say a word, tapping out his tobacco pipe, packing it again with tobacco leaves, and taking a few puffs before speaking.

"With such minor forces, do we really need to be called?"

"Nothing we can do, as we’re under the Wei Family’s patronage, it’s not right to refuse their requests. Let’s settle this quickly and head back." The old man with the tobacco pipe in his left hand responded.

The right-hand old man nodded and took a final puff of smoke.

"Let’s go!"

Just as they were about to leap down, they suddenly saw a burst of flames and heard the sounds of fighting from the back residence of the office.

They were initially stunned, then quickly changed their target towards the back residence.

They knew clearly that Wei Family’s direct lineage, Wei Hongbin, who had summoned them, must be in the back residence at this time.

He was the top priority.

If something happened to him, it would be a huge disgrace for them both.

Hence, the two old men didn’t hesitate and swiftly leapt into the back residence.

Meanwhile, in the back residence.

Zhao Ya was battling with a group of martial dao experts from the army.

Behind him, the ground had caved in, and the walls were riddled with arrows, clearly due to triggering some mechanism when he entered.

Yet such tricks might work on others, but they were child’s play to Zhao Ya.

It must be known that Zhao Ya had thoroughly studied trap techniques. However, due to their limitations, he hadn’t practiced them further, but his skills remained.

Thus, when facing these trap ambushes, Zhao Ya could deftly avoid them in advance.

This was why he dared to charge into the back residence alone.

At this moment, he used kerosene he carried to ignite several fires, diverting many people’s attention.

This relieved much of his pressure.

Even so, when surrounded by these specially trained strong military men, even someone as formidable as Zhao Ya felt a bit strained.

Those guarding the back residence were the most elite warriors, mostly of Third Realm, with team leaders possessing Fourth Realm strength.

Additionally, their tight battle formations caused Zhao Ya’s progress to slow inevitably.

Yet under these circumstances, Zhao Ya remained unfazed and instead intentionally made a larger commotion to lure out Wei Hongbin.

In fact, his strategy indeed worked.

In the central area of the back residence, the rear study of the government office, Wei Hongbin sat with a solemn expression, appearing calm, but occasional worry in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

"Has the intruder in the back residence been captured?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Commander, not yet."

"Useless, just a bunch of fools." Wei Hongbin rebuked angrily.

No one dared to speak.

Everyone knew Wei Hongbin’s mood was very unstable, so no one dared to provoke him.

"Always boasting about how formidable you are, but when the crucial moment comes, you fall apart." Wei Hongbin scolded angrily.

The Captain in charge of the back residence’s defense looked aggrieved.

"Commander, we have the kid completely surrounded, but unfortunately, he’s slippery like an eel, and we can’t catch him easily. Don’t worry, I guarantee..."

This Captain was about to assure Wei Hongbin of his absolute safety when a loud boom suddenly echoed outside.

Then, cries of alarm reached the study.

"It collapsed, it collapsed!"

"The wall collapsed!"

Subsequently, the shouting and fighting sounds became clear, as if they were right outside.
