The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

119: Chapter 119 Reunion with Yi Jian Lai from the West, Instant Kill”That is... the Clan Chief’s Aura!”

The Grand Elder suddenly looked up, a light of wild joy bursting from his eyes, as he pointed at the sky and shouted.

”The Clan Chief is back! Clan Chief Jiang Chen is back!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the leading figure. His entire body radiated the chilling pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage; it was Jiang Chen. Following behind him were the Fifth Elder and a group of Clan Members and Disciples.

As soon as Jiang Chen approached Qingyun Mountain, he saw the strange confrontation at the mountain peak—the golden light curtain was crumbling under the fierce attacks of two Nascent Soul Stage Emperor Beasts. The small figure at the center of the Formation was Lu Xin, whom he had entrusted to protect the Family before he left.

In an instant, Jiang Chen’s gaze turned cold, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

He could feel the pressure the Meridians in Lu Xin’s body were enduring and see the panic on the faces of the Clan Members. A wave of towering rage instantly erupted from the depths of his heart.

”Vile beasts, how dare you!”

A furious roar, like a thunderclap, resounded through the clouds. Jiang Chen’s figure instantly vanished from his spot and appeared outside the light curtain in the next moment. The cold light on the long sword in his hand surged, carrying a world-destroying power as he slashed fiercely toward the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor!

One Sword Comes From The West.

Since obtaining it, he hadn’t used it many times, but this time, Jiang Chen was truly enraged.

In the past, he rarely used such a killing move, partly because it wasn’t necessary and partly because its power was too domineering.

Ultimate power, a solitary Concept, a certain kill in one strike.

The power of a Heaven Rank Martial Skill manifested at this moment.

The long sword trembled, letting out a clear and melodious ring.

All of the Nascent Soul pressure around Jiang Chen poured into the sword’s blade. A silver-white Sword Qi several dozen meters long suddenly condensed. Upon the Sword Qi, one could faintly see a flow like a galaxy; that was the blessing of the Dao Charm unique to Heaven Rank Martial Skills.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the space seemed to be torn open with a black crack. Before the fire dragon spat out by the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor could even get close, it was frozen into ice crystals by the chilling air of the Sword Qi and shattered instantly.

The Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor sensed a fatal crisis. A hint of fear flashed in its originally arrogant eyes. It suddenly turned around, wanting to rely on its massive body to dodge this sword strike.

However, the speed of a Heaven Rank Martial Skill had already exceeded its reaction limit.

”Puchi—”

There was no earth-shattering collision, only the crisp sound of a sharp blade entering flesh.

The silver-white Sword Qi, like cutting through tofu, pierced straight through the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor’s hard scales, penetrating from its head to its tailbone.

The Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor’s massive body froze in mid-air. The fierce light in its eyes dimmed instantly, and its flame-like mane lost its luster. Massive amounts of spiritual power gushed from the wound like a flood, turning into countless spots of light and dissipating.

In the next moment, the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor crashed to the ground, causing all of Qingyun Mountain to tremble.

Before its corpse even hit the ground, it turned into a pile of charred remains under the residual power of the Sword Qi. Even its Nascent Soul could not escape and was directly strangled to death by the Sword Qi.

One sword, an instant kill!

All of Qingyun Mountain instantly fell into a dead silence.

Whether it was the Jiang Family Elders, the Cultivators of the Qingyun Market, or the ordinary Clan Members at the foot of the mountain, they all widened their eyes and looked at that figure with faces full of disbelief.

The Nascent Soul Stage Emperor Beast that was just rampaging and had pushed the Formation into a stalemate was actually killed by the Clan Chief with a single sword strike?

This kind of strength was simply too terrifying!

”Clan... Clan Chief... is too strong!”

The Second Elder’s voice trembled with excitement. His tightly clenched fists finally relaxed, his palms already drenched in sweat.

”That was a Nascent Soul Stage Emperor Beast! One sword! He actually only used one sword!”

After a brief dead silence, earth-shaking cheers erupted.

”The Clan Chief is mighty!”

”Great! We are saved!”

At the top of Qingyun Mountain, the Jiang Family Disciples were the first to react. They waved their weapons and shouted loudly, their fear replaced by wild joy.

The Cultivators of the Qingyun Market also joined in the cheering. Their previous despair was swept away, and their eyes were filled with awe and gratitude as they looked at Jiang Chen—if Jiang Chen hadn’t returned in time, they might have been terrified to death today.

The ordinary Clan Members at the foot of the mountain were even more moved, their eyes filling with tears of joy. Women hugged their children and wept with joy; elderly people leaned on their canes, tears welling up in their cloudy eyes, as they kept muttering.

”Good, good, good. With the Clan Chief here, my Jiang Family is safe.”

At the center of the Formation, Lu Xin felt her tense nerves suddenly relax the moment she sensed that domineering Sword Qi.

She looked up and saw Jiang Chen’s familiar figure, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Her Meridians, which had been under immense pressure due to the rapid circulation of spiritual power, felt as if they were wrapped in a warm current, and the pain suddenly lessened.

What surprised her even more was that at the moment Jiang Chen killed the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor, a gentle spiritual power flowed through the light curtain into the Formation Plate, instantly replenishing the Formation’s consumption. The originally trembling light curtain became solid, and the speed of the rune flow returned to normal.

”Big Brother...”

Lu Xin spoke with a sob, a smile of relief finally appearing on her youthful face. The speed of her hand seals also slowed down, no longer as strained as before.

The remaining Black Water Crocodile Emperor, having witnessed the tragic scene of the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor being killed instantly, was filled with fear and subconsciously retreated a few steps with its massive body.

It couldn’t understand how this human, who was clearly only in the Nascent Soul Stage, could explode with such terrifying power.

Jiang Chen did not give it much time to think.

Having dealt with the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor, his gaze coldly locked onto the Black Water Crocodile Emperor. His killing intent did not weaken but instead became even more chilling.

”Still want to run?”

Jiang Chen snorted coldly. Without any pause, the long sword in his hand lit up again. The same Heaven Rank Martial Skill, ”One Sword Comes From The West,” condensed into a silver-white Sword Qi once more.

Only this time, the killing intent on the Sword Qi was even thicker, and its speed was even faster!

The Black Water Crocodile Emperor was scared to the point of its Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, frantically spitting out Frigid Water Pillars in an attempt to block the Sword Qi’s attack while turning to flee into the distance.

But its speed was like a turtle’s crawl in front of Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi.

”Pu—”

Another sword through the heart!

The Black Water Crocodile Emperor’s end was exactly the same as the Scarlet Flame Lion Emperor’s. Its massive body crashed down, its Nascent Soul strangled by the Sword Qi, without even a chance to resist.

Two Nascent Soul Stage Emperor Beasts were killed one by one by Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye!

Jiang Chen suspended in mid-air, the blood on his long sword slowly sliding off and dripping to the ground, evaporating instantly.

His gaze swept across the dense, panicked low-level Desolate Beasts in the distance, and he said coldly:

”Lu Xin, close the Formation!”

”Okay!”

Lu Xin nodded in response, the speed of her hand seals slowing down. The nine Rune Stars on the light curtain slowly dimmed, and the golden light curtain receded like a tide, revealing the full view of Qingyun Mountain.

The moment the Formation closed, Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting shouted loudly:

”All Jiang Family Disciples, hear my command! Follow the Clan Chief to slay the Desolate Beast Tide and protect our kin!”

”Kill!”

The Jiang Family Disciples responded in unison, their Aura like a rising rainbow.

The frustration of being suppressed by the two Nascent Soul Emperor Beasts earlier was now entirely transformed into the motivation to slay the enemy.

Holding their weapons and led by the Elders, they rushed out like tigers descending from a mountain.

The Cultivators of the Qingyun Market also responded one after another. Huang Xiaochen was the first to draw the long saber at his waist and shouted:

”Everyone, the Clan Leader of the Jiang Family has cleared the greatest threat for us. Now is the time to mop up! Follow me out and slay the Desolate Beasts!”

”Kill.”
