Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1494 - 935: Cavalry Regiment, Ding Qiu’s Blade Intent (2)

The Golden Body Realm Martial Artists coordinated with Second-Order Mutant Beasts to launch a charge, and their power was truly earth-shattering.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a blood-red marsh, flesh turned to mud, and bones were like firewood.

”Hold them off!”

Seeing this scene, Jiang Taishu’s eyes widened with fury as he roared.

How terrifying!

In just a breath, thousands of Nether Prison Sect disciples had died under the cavalry’s charge.

How could the leaders of the Nether Prison Sect sit idly by?

Elders of the Golden Body Realm flew forward one by one, attempting to block the cavalry’s impact.

Yang Minghao watched the approaching Nether Prison Sect elders and his ferocious expression immediately turned serious.

These were over ten elders of the Golden Body Realm. Although they were also in the Golden Body Realm, their cultivation was not as deep as these enemies.

Just as Yang Minghao was about to confront a Nether Prison Sect elder in black armor, a dazzling blade beam suddenly shot out from behind him.

The blade beam spanned over ten meters, carrying an unstoppable sharpness as it charged forth.

Ding Qiu’s figure leapt over Yang Minghao, meeting the opposing Nether Prison Sect elder first.

The elder was burly with a square face, and his tiger-like eyes exuded natural authority.

But when the blade beam streaked across the sky, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his aura surged, pouring into the saber he held.

”Slash!”

He raised his saber to cut down, intending to sever the sudden blade beam.

However, when his blade beam collided with Ding Qiu’s, it melted away like snow meeting a blazing fire.

With a clanging sound.

The heavy saber snapped, and the dazzling blade edge sliced through his body, separating it into two parts, one falling downward, the other lifted into the air.

He stared wide-eyed, incredulous at the broken blade. He seemed not yet to realize his body had been cut in half, only finding the severing of his saber unbelievable.

Ding Qiu’s face was calm, his eyes like ancient wells without ripples. He gripped the reins in one hand and held the long blade in the other, standing straight with blade beams flashing from the weapon.

Neigh~~

The Cloud Tiger Cub beneath him let out an excited cry, seemingly cheering for Ding Qiu’s killing of the enemy.

Ding Qiu lightly patted the wide back of the Cloud Tiger Cub, which understood and charged towards another Nether Prison Sect elder.

”Haha, well done killing!”

Yang Minghao snapped back and shouted excitedly while also heading towards a Nether Prison Sect elder.

Above the city gate, Jian Changhe watched Ding Qiu’s figure, ”Such sharp blade intent, it’s a pity he’s just a Martial Artist!”

Yang Zhenshan commented blandly, ”A Martial Artist can also confront Immortal Cultivators!”

Who is the strongest Martial Artist in the Spirit Source Land?

Undoubtedly, it’s Ding Qiu!

Even Yu Qingyi is no match for Ding Qiu now.

Since Ding Qiu comprehended blade intent, his combat power has been soaring like a rocket.

Before Yang Zhenshan had even reached Foundation Establishment, Ding Qiu could threaten him.

And since Ding Qiu advanced to the Golden Body Realm, his power has reached an extremely terrifying level.

The key is Ding Qiu’s Divine Soul Power is also impressive, imbued with a terrifying force under the enhancement of blade intent.

Even if Immortal Cultivators have the advantage in Divine Soul, it’s hard to suppress him in that aspect.

Thus, Ding Qiu is the only Martial Artist in the Spirit Source Land capable of competing with Immortal Cultivators.

As for Yang Mingzhi, Yang Minghao, and others, they are just ordinary Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, without anything notable, and the elder generation like An Yuxing and Liang Shengze have exhausted their potential, with their cultivation unable to progress.

Only Ding Qiu shines differently in the Golden Body Realm.

In this regard, even Yu Qingyi cannot compare.

Yu Qingyi is merely benefiting from plentiful resources to surpass Ding Qiu in cultivation.

On the battlefield, in just a moment, Ding Qiu had slain two more Nether Prison Sect elders, each with a single blade strike, unbreakable and unstoppable, until he encountered an old man with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles.

This old fellow wielded a black long staff, effortlessly blocking Ding Qiu’s blade.

It is obvious without explanation; Ding Qiu has encountered a top-tier Golden Body Realm Martial Artist.

With the Golden Body Realm Martial Artists of the Nether Prison Sect making moves, the momentum of the cavalry camp’s charge was halted, with both sides embroiled in struggle.

Yang Zhenshan scanned the battlefield and saw that the cavalry camp was not losing ground, which reassured him.

Struggling is not scary; what’s scary is being overpowered by the opponent.

The Nether Prison Sect boasts numerous powerful figures, with each Golden Body Realm Martial Artist stronger than the last. Don’t be deceived by how Ding Qiu just slew three Golden Body Realm Martial Artists in a moment; he specifically chose to kill the weaker ones to catch the enemy off guard.

In terms of top-tier Golden Body Realm powerhouses, the Nether Prison Sect far surpasses the Spirit Source Land.

However, the Spirit Source Land has its advantage - numbers.

With the combination of Second-Order Mutant Beasts and Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, the Cavalry alone counts twelve members. As the Cavalry falls into a skirmish, others within the city join the battle, outnumbering the opposition slightly.

On this side, the Golden Body Realm Martial Artists are already embroiled in fierce combat.

Meanwhile, on the Flying Boat, the Nether Prison Sect’s Thousand Peaks Covering Sky Formation is also ready.

A vast surge of Spiritual Power operates, brilliant spiritual light circulating around the Flying Boat, as increasingly substantial waves of Spiritual Power spread.

This spread of Spiritual Power is actually a flaw in the Flying Boat’s array; the more Spiritual Power spreads, the more Spiritual Energy is wasted in activating the array.

It’s crucial to understand that the Flying Boat cannot borrow spiritual energy from the Earth Veins; all array energy on the Flying Boat comes from Spirit Stones.

The mere spreading of this Spiritual Power already costs tens of thousands of low-grade Spirit Stones.

Such Spirit Stone consumption is something small factions cannot afford.

”It’s starting!”

Yang Zhenshan watched the massive Flying Boat trembling in the air, his expression growing increasingly severe.

In the next moment.

Silhouettes swiftly appeared above the sky, these dim shadows gradually became substantial, a heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire Wuxiang City, the oppressive air leaving people breathless.

”Mountain!”

Yang Zhenshan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Those silhouettes were precisely mountain peaks.

”Thousand Peaks Covering Sky Formation, a Second-Tier array, among the few Earth Attribute attack-type arrays!” Jian Changhe explained.

”Can Senior Jian Guyun handle it?” Yang Zhenshan wasn’t versed in arrays; he just wanted to know whether the array Jian Guyun set up could resist the Thousand Peaks Covering Sky Formation.

Both being Second-Tier arrays, the Thousand Peaks Covering Sky Formation far outstrips the Taiyin Cold Spring Array.

This is common, as the Taiyin Cold Spring Array is a Trapping Array; its power reduces the mana of those entering, lacking notable attacking power.

The Thousand Peaks Covering Sky Formation, on the other hand, is a typical attack-type array, mountains soaring, covering the heavens and annihilating the earth.

If these mountains were to crash down, they could truly smash the earth into a pulp.

”Just wait!” Jian Changhe said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying Sword Qi suddenly rose from within the city behind him.

Yang Zhenshan turned abruptly, seeing a colossal hundred-zhang tall giant sword towering within the city.

He opened his mouth wide, somewhat incredulous.

Although he invited Jian Guyun to set up the array, and Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun assisted, he truly didn’t know what kind of array Jian Guyun had set up within the city.

With his level of expertise in arrays, there was no need to ask about arrays; asking would simply embarrass him, so it’s better not to ask.

”Wasn’t it supposed to be a Protective Array? This doesn’t look like a Protective Array!”

”It is a Protective Array; as long as an array can block enemy attacks, it’s a Protective Array!” Jian Changhe said.

”...”

You’re quite right, but why does it feel so odd?

Jian Changhe glanced behind him and then said, ”This is the Heavenly Sword Formation of my Hidden Sword Mountain, but unfortunately, this isn’t Hidden Sword Mountain, so it can only unleash one sword!”

”Heavenly Sword Formation, a Third-tier array?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”The specific grade of the array depends on the swords used for setting up the formation. The Heavenly Sword Formation requires at least three hundred and sixty swords; if these swords are Magical Treasures, then it is at least a Second Rank Top Grade array. If there are any Spiritual Artifacts among them, then it is minimally a Third-tier array!”

Yang Zhenshan clicked his tongue inwardly.

Damn, three hundred and sixty swords, all Magical Treasures!

Hidden Sword Mountain is indeed terrifying.

Three hundred sixty Magical Treasures!

Spirit Source Land now has how many Magical Treasures!

Yang Zhenshan silently calculated, there seem to be over thirty!

Not even enough for a fraction of the setup used by others!

If this is what it means to be wealthy and powerful, Yang Zhenshan has truly seen it firsthand.

But considering White Cloud Immortal City has over a thousand Second-Order Puppets, he feels somewhat relieved.

The former Hidden Sword Mountain was even more dominant than White Cloud Immortal City; having a few hundred or thousand Magical Treasures is quite normal.

Compared to them, the Spirit Source Land is simply on a different level.
