Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 593: Chapter 504 Ignoring the Court’s Laws? Then Be Prepared for Annihilation!

The battlefield below was already in complete chaos. To ensure the success of the plan, Cui Kai had almost pulled in all his forces.

This included disciples of Tianquan Star Hall and the many swordsmen under them, amounting to a total of more than two thousand troops.

Together with the surrounding Jianghu forces eager to take advantage of the disarray, nearly three thousand people had already launched an assault on the Secret Martial Guard’s camp.

After this battle, regardless of the outcome, there would be no more Tianquan Star Hall.

Cui Kai was prepared to abandon everything.

He had no choice; he couldn’t defy the orders of the Sect Leader, so he had to bet everything.

But it seemed he had chosen the wrong opponent.

As soon as he crossed blades with Luo Jingsong, he felt something was amiss.

He possessed the cultivation of Postnatal Ninth Layer, and in his impression, Luo Jingsong should also be at the Postnatal Ninth Layer, and Luo Jingsong’s cultivation should be weaker than his.

Yet when their broadswords collided for the first time, he felt his palm go numb, nearly unable to hold onto the hilt.

”You!” Cui Kai looked at Luo Jingsong in astonishment, who was close at hand.

Luo Jingsong watched him with a cold gaze, his broadsword heavy and forceful, slashing down again and again. Cui Kai desperately blocked, but with every block, he retreated several steps.

After blocking four or five strikes, he felt his arms had lost all sensation.

”Impossible, how can you be this strong?” Cui Kai said in disbelief.

He knew previously his cultivation was above Luo Jingsong’s; in his eyes, Luo Jingsong was just a junior.

But now he was beaten by Luo Jingsong without the ability to fight back!

”Hmph, overestimating your abilities!”

Luo Jingsong snorted coldly and smashed down with another heavy blow.

Clang!

The broadsword shattered, and Cui Kai was sent flying out like a stone.

Luo Jingsong did not bother to check whether he was alive or dead, and turned to deal with the surrounding enemies.

By now, the front lines of the Guard Camp were piled with corpses; they faced the most enemies and the greatest assaults, yet they hadn’t retreated a single step.

Like rocks amidst roaring waves, no matter how fiercely they were attacked, they stood unyielding.

Behind the Guard Camp, the Secret Martial Guards were in a more precarious state.

The strength of the Secret Martial Guard wasn’t weak either, but they faced thousands of Jianghu Martial Artists, and the Guard only numbered in the hundreds.

Outnumbered by the enemy, even with the Guard Camp blocking half of the pressure, they still found it tough to hold on.

Yan Bo chopped down a martial artist who charged at him, and his gaze swept around.

Their camp had no defensive structures, not even a perimeter wall, just some tents.

Now, many martial artists had already breached their camp.

If they couldn’t stop them, the Star Origin Fruit Tree would be in danger!

”Commander Luo! Protect the Star Origin Fruit Tree!”

Seeing the dire situation, Yan Bo immediately shouted.

Hearing this, Luo Jingsong quickly looked back, and nearly jumped out of his skin with fright.

A martial artist was less than thirty feet away from the Star Origin Fruit Tree.

Although he didn’t know what that martial artist intended to do, he absolutely couldn’t let anyone get close to the Star Origin Fruit Tree.

It was a gamble neither he nor Yan Bo could afford to take.

Luo Jingsong leapt forward, barely intervening just in front of the intruder.

”Kou Rong!”

”Damn it!” Kou Rong cursed under his breath; he was so close to success, he hadn’t expected Luo Jingsong to arrive so swiftly.

”Luo Jingsong, haha, long time no see!”

Luo Jingsong forced Kou Rong back with a sword strike, while at the same time, the soldiers of the Guard Camp orderly retreated to the vicinity of the Star Origin Fruit Tree.

The Star Origin Fruit Tree, previously guarded by the Secret Martial Guard, was now under the protection of the Guard Camp in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Yan Bo wasn’t angry but instead heaved a sigh of relief.

The battle continued; Kou Rong was much smarter than Cui Kai. As soon as Luo Jingsong appeared before him, he did not hesitate to retreat immediately.

Luo Jingsong naturally wouldn’t pursue him; the most important thing now was to protect the Star Origin Fruit Tree and not let anyone approach it.

Inside the valley, the sounds of battle cries and screams echoed, many martial artists managed to climb up the slope but didn’t leave, instead hiding in the dense forests, observing the situation in the valley.

Don’t think that these martial artists had no interest in the Star Origin Fruit Tree; in reality, they simply didn’t want to be the first to strike.

If the Secret Martial Guards and Guard Camp showed signs of defeat, they wouldn’t mind joining in to get a share of the spoils.

Just as the battle in the valley grew more intense, Yang Zhenshan emerged from the dense forest.

”Damn it, when I get the chance, I must build a road here!”

Yang Zhenshan cursed, somewhat frustrated.

It wasn’t easy to get through this deep mountain forest with thickets of lush vegetation.

”Marquis Yang!” Xue Ou followed behind him, looking at the battlefield ahead, and immediately reminded him.

Yang Zhenshan looked up, ”Eh, a fight has broken out!”

He had rushed all the way with the cavalry of Yao Wu Camp for fear that someone might assault the Secret Martial Guard camp, but it turned out they were still a step too late.

But now that it had come to this, there was nothing more to say.

”What are we waiting for, charge through and kill these ignorant fools!”

Yang Zhenshan shouted to the soldiers behind him.

Before his voice had even fallen, his figure had already charged into the battlefield.

The spear thrust straight, piercing through the chests of three enemies at once. The next moment, Yang Zhenshan flicked his spear, and the three enemies were flung away with horrifying screams.

Sweeping with his spear, the sharp edge of the spearhead cut through flesh and blood, instantly sweeping away dozens of foes.

Yang Zhenshan joining the fight was like a tiger descending upon the mountain, leaving a trail of carnage wherever he went.
