Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1091: Chapter 744: Lu Fusheng’s Breakthrough (2)

His movement technique not only far surpasses Yang Zhenshan, but even Lan Peng is far behind.

Seeing him retreat, Yang Zhenshan let out a long breath.

This battle was truly dangerous. Fortunately, the man in black didn’t have the intention to fight desperately; otherwise, he might not have been able to handle it.

Whether it’s the ‘Sole Sovereign Spear Intent’ or the ‘Thunder Striking Spear’, they are all swift moves, emphasizing a single lethal strike.

If he cannot achieve a lethal strike, then his weaknesses would be exposed.

“Seems like I need to cultivate more movement and step techniques in the future!”

Yang Zhenshan once again felt the inadequacy of his foundation.

After all, he had only been in the Sea of Spirit for over five years, and in these five years, most of his energy and time were spent on improving cultivation. He hadn’t delved deeply into the cultivation of battle skills like spear techniques and step techniques.

And many of his previous combat experiences weren’t suitable for the current situation.

Especially in situations where battles occur in the air, he found himself lacking in many areas.

However, being able to reach this level within five years is already quite commendable.

Yang Zhenshan felt satisfied with his combat strength.

“Thank you, Mr. Yang!” Lan Peng flew over, laughing heartily as he expressed his gratitude.

“But it’s a pity we let him escape!” Yang Zhenshan remarked.

Lan Peng’s face broadened into a smile. As he approached Yang Zhenshan, he whispered, “Leaving him would be a huge trouble!”

Yang Zhenshan was slightly taken aback, then glanced around.

By this time, all members of the Wan family had been captured and killed, but those three figures had vanished.

He suddenly realized.

It turns out Lan Peng had this plan!

Indeed, the Soul-breaking Blade is so tough that it’s wise not to offend them too much. Taking down the Wan family would suffice as a report to the higher-ups, and as for the Soul-breaking Blade’s people, it’s best to wait and see the Three Sects’ reactions.

The two exchanged a glance and both showed a knowing smile.

Afterwards, the Red Flame Army began cleaning up the aftermath in Wan Village, while Yang Zhenshan and Lan Peng left Wan Village together.

“This time, thanks to the help of Mr. Yang, otherwise, I might have lost my life here!”

They rode leisurely through the mountains and forests, and Lan Peng spoke with some relief.

Yang Zhenshan laughed, “That man is indeed formidable, but if Brother Lan wanted to escape, he could still manage it!”

These words weren’t flattery but fact. Perhaps Lan Peng wasn’t a match for the man in black, but if Lan Peng wanted to flee, there was no problem at all.

Don’t forget, Lan Peng still has Jin Yu and Sky Cloud, who are currently in the air. Jin Yu can fly away with Lan Peng.

Lan Peng shook his head slightly, “I can leave, but my brothers can’t.”

Yang Zhenshan smiled without speaking further. He understood Lan Peng’s meaning. As a commander, the greatest taboo is abandoning one’s soldiers to escape alone.

If things can’t be done, you can break through, you can retreat, but you must not run alone; you must take your soldiers with you.

Even if only a few come out in the end, they are your brothers. If you run alone, you will become isolated in the future.

Even if you have more soldiers under your command later, once the matter spreads, it will be hard for the soldiers to trust you.

Lan Peng understood this very well, and he treated the soldiers of the Red Flame Army as brothers, so he would never flee alone.

As the two spoke, suddenly in the southern sky, a fiery red glow surged like waves.

The glow was intense like fire, extremely eye-catching, carrying an endless majestic momentum, rushing toward the four directions. In the blink of an eye, it ignited the vast sky completely.

The originally white as snow, variously shaped clouds were instantly dyed a crimson red under this glow, seemingly draped in a garment woven of flame.

Large patches of red cloud rolled and surged in the sky like burning steeds, galloping across the firmament; or like a surging sea of fire, devouring the horizon, adorning the entire southern sky magnificently and shockingly.

Yang Zhenshan stood dumbfounded, looking at the southern sky in shock.

“What’s that?”

This was clearly not a normal natural phenomenon.

Lan Peng’s eyes lit up, “The City Lord has made a breakthrough!”

“What?” Yang Zhenshan looked at him in astonishment.

“Hahaha, the City Lord has made a breakthrough! Hahaha, five years, finally a breakthrough, hahaha~~” Lan Peng was so delighted that he was almost incoherent, as if it wasn’t Lu Fusheng making the breakthrough but himself.

Yang Zhenshan stiffly turned to the south once again.

“Where did City Lord Lu make the breakthrough?”

“County City!” Lan Peng laughed.

Yang Zhenshan’s expression was somewhat indescribable.

The county city!

A distance of more than two hundred miles, nearly three hundred miles from here.

The scale of this breakthrough is enormous!

The soaring glow actually covered half the sky!

Damn!

The gap between the Martial God Realm and the Innate Realm is really that large!

“Mr. Yang, I shall visit you another day to offer my thanks. Today, I must leave!” Lan Peng didn’t bother with Yang Zhenshan’s astonishment, whipped the horse, and rode off.

Yang Zhenshan was stunned for a long time, the light in his eyes becoming increasingly bright.

“Family Head! Is this the might of a Martial God Realm?” Li Chang caught up from behind, asking in awe.

Yang Zhenshan exhaled a long breath and said with a smile, “No wonder it’s called the Martial God Realm. Just looking at the scale of this breakthrough, one can imagine the power of the Martial God Realm.”

He always felt that Martial God and Martial Immortal levels were somewhat exaggerated, and he previously thought that the Golden Body Realm seemed more fitting than the Martial God Realm.

But now it seems, calling it the Martial God is not an exaggeration.
