Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1718: Chapter 1048: Thunder Dragon, Divine General, Five-Tailed Zang (Part 2)

The blade light swept through the branches and leaves, stained with scarlet blood, and finally exploded in mid-air.

The tree crown flew up, revealing a broken corpse beneath the tree.

It was a Black Wind Overlord Bear, a three-zhang tall body laying on the ground, resembling a small hill. Its smooth and bright fur shimmered with a gentle spiritual light, and its massive head was embedded with tusks white as jade, only tainted with a layer of fresh red blood.

The head had already been severed, with dark red blood gushing from the neck, like a fountain.

Not far from the bear’s corpse, Ding Qiu was wiping the long blade in his hand, looking calmly at a trace of blood on the tip of the blade.

”Comrade, you are truly formidable, this blade intent can be called peerless!”

Wen Qiao came to his front, looking at the gigantic bear corpse, full of shock and awe.

Ding Qiu’s strength was worthy of his respect; in just a few days, Ding Qiu had slain more than a dozen Second-Order demon beasts, and mostly with just one slash each, without any hesitation.

After reinforcements arrived at Little Cloud Peak, they were divided into squads, each with a dozen people, usually led by two Foundation Establishment cultivators along with some Golden Body Realm Martial Artists and Qi Refinement Cultivators.

Ding Qiu and Wen Qiao formed a team. Alongside them were six Golden Body Realm Martial Artists and six cultivators at the eighth or ninth layer of Qi Refinement.

Wen Qiao and others were responsible for hunting, while Ding Qiu was responsible for slaying. The cooperation was very seamless, and the search was quick with considerable achievements in battle.

”Pack up, let’s find the next one!” Ding Qiu said with a calm expression.

”Alright!” Wen Qiao responded without hesitation.

...

In the deep canyon, a swarm of Red-eyed Bats blotted out the sun, making the already dark and narrow canyon as dark as night.

However, in this dim canyon, there was sword light like a shuttle, piercing through one Red-eyed Bat after another.

Dark red blood sprinkled down, and numerous bat corpses fell to the bottom of the canyon.

More than a dozen cultivators and Martial Artists formed a Round Formation, resisting the swooping bat army with saber lights, sword shadows, spells, and talismans shooting out continuously from the formation.

Around the formation, Li Janning and Li Jian’an, one in front, the other behind, one on the left, the other on the right; one with sword Qi like a torrent, majestic and vast, the other with sword Qi like threads, ethereal and fierce, the two of them combined their swords, killing wantonly.

”You ugly bats, watch this lady wipe all of you out!”

”Wipe them out, wipe them out, wipe them out!”

”Where did that demon beast go?”

”Hiding here and there, what kind of hero is that, come out and fight if you have the guts!”

”Why hasn’t support arrived yet? Who’s around us?”

Li Janning’s sword was fast and fierce, just like her mouth, chattering without a pause.

Li Jian’an felt that his ears couldn’t take it anymore. It was too noisy, these annoying bats made people feel irritable, and his own sister’s mouth was even more annoying.

”Stop talking!” Li Jian’an couldn’t hold it any longer and shouted.

”I can’t keep quiet, these bats are driving me crazy, not speaking would make me feel like I’m going to explode!” Li Janning said anxiously.

”That’s their sonic attack, stabilize your heart spirit, don’t let them affect you!” Li Jian’an naturally understood the source of their agitation, but he still couldn’t help but complain about Li Janning’s chatter.

The Red-eyed Bat is a very underestimated mutant beast group. They love to live in colonies, often gathering in the thousands or tens of thousands.

Though they are numerous, it’s rare for them to reach the demon beast level.

But this group of Red-eyed Bats was an exception. Not only were they in the tens of thousands, but there were also three demon beast-level existences.

Most importantly, they were hidden in this narrow valley. Li Janning and Li Jian’an, nearly without defense, passed through here and were attacked by them.

While the sisters were both slaughtering bats and bickering, silhouettes draped in armor holding weapons with grand physiques suddenly appeared in the sky above the canyon.

”Kill!”

A cold shout resounded as those grand silhouettes charged into the sky-covering bat swarm.

They were bathed in golden radiance, their armors glinting gold, like divine soldiers and generals entering the bat swarm.

Noticing these Golden Armor warriors, Li Janning exclaimed with a laugh, ”Hahaha, Senior Xuanzhen is here, you ugly things, all die for me!”

Above the canyon, Xuanzhen held the Divine General Chessboard in one hand and pinched a Dharma Seal in the other, as each piece became a divine general entering the battlefield.

The Divine General Chessboard was Xuanzhen’s Lifebound Magical Treasure; each piece in the chessboard was a Golden Armor Divine General, their strength comparable to Ghost Generals and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Previously, Xuanzhen only had a dozen divine generals, but now Xuanzhen wielded thirty-six, equivalent to thirty-six Foundation Establishment cultivators.

There were so many because Yang Zhenshan gave Lin Qihe’s storage bag to Xuanzhen.

The items in that storage bag were all from the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, whose favorite magical treasure was the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, containing a dozen Ghost General level ghost entities in each banner.

If not for the lack of time, Xuanzhen could have gathered seventy or eighty Golden Armor Ghost Generals.

An army of one, this was Xuanzhen’s most formidable aspect.

Although the individual strength of these divine generals was only equivalent to an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, thirty-six divine generals together were enough to fight against several peak Foundation Establishment beings.

With the divine generals in action, the tens of thousands of Red-eyed Bats fell like hailstones.

...

The battles in the eastern Yunxiao Mountain Range were spreading everywhere, but these battles did not pose a major threat to the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, at most threatening the safety of a few Elder Peaks, insufficient to harm the foundation of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

What truly threatened the foundation of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect were those Demon Kings.

Everyone was battling, and Yang Zhenshan naturally wasn’t idle either. He did not return to White Cloud Immortal City and instead stayed in the eastern Yunxiao Mountain Range.

Those Second-Order demon beasts weren’t worth his personal intervention, but the bizarre-looking creature before him required his personal involvement.

This beast was entirely crimson, shaped like a leopard, with a single horn on its head and five tails at the back, with a ferocious look. Though its tusks were merely three inches long, they flashed a chilling gleam.

The Five-tailed Vicious, a rarely seen demon beast species. Yang Zhenshan had only heard about it before, and this was his first time seeing it.

The Five-tailed Vicious is a descendant of the Ancient Exotic Beast Vicious, calling it Vicious wouldn’t be an exaggeration because it had no difference from the legendary Ancient Exotic Beast Vicious, at least in appearance.

Such demon beasts that resemble Ancient Exotic Beasts often possess extremely powerful talents, generally far surpassing ordinary demon beasts in strength.

Moreover, this one was at the Demon King level, making it even more terrifying, as it likely inherited the innate divine abilities of the Ancient Exotic Beast Vicious.
