Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Chapter 59: Chapter 25: Brutal Slaughter

Yan Hongsheng burst out from under the golden net, holding the Purple Gold Hammer with high spirits, when a faint laugh was heard.

The voice was elusive, hard to pinpoint its location.

His heart tightened instinctively.

He first glanced toward the three Brocade Carriages below.

Seeing the Brocade Carriages protected by the Dharma Shield of the One-Horned Wild Bull, and the other nine core combatants of the clan guarding by their sides, he finally relaxed a bit: ”Hmph, trying to deceive with tricks, Wei Huai Ren, if you have the guts, come out and fight me for three hundred rounds!”

He didn’t think much about the golden radiance shield that covered the entire group.

The Wei Clan has a late-stage Qi Cultivation Gold Element cultivator, specializing in the Golden Radiance Shield, whom he had fought before, but it was just a Restriction Magic to prevent escape.

He hadn’t planned to run anyway!

”Hahaha...”

But in the next moment, the faint laugh was heard again.

The voice was ethereal and illusory.

It wasn’t until the end, when it suddenly settled within the Golden Radiance Shield, that Yan Hongsheng’s face changed drastically.

”Qiankun Shifting... Array activated!”

Rumble~

Suddenly, under the Golden Radiance Shield, the ground shook and trembled, and the entire land covered by the golden radiance abruptly sank.

”Shifting Array! Wei Huai Ren, you despicable scoundrel...” Yan Hongsheng roared angrily, swinging the Purple Gold Hammer towards the Golden Radiance Shield.

Yet before the Golden Radiance Shield could shatter, the entire ground had returned to calm, leaving only the dust swirling in the air.

Using magical power to sweep away the dust, not a single shadow remained in place.

The other side actually used the Golden Radiance Shield as a cover to conceal the Shifting Array... Truly despicable!

”Jiu, don’t lose your mind. This chessboard formation array has limited distance, at most no more than thirty miles. Let’s split up and take action.”

In the next moment, two more figures flew over from not far away.

They were both elder-level combat power from the Yan Family.

The two had unpleasant expressions.

It was supposed to be just a hopeless lure-and-ambush, but it backfired unexpectedly.

If that girl Qing Wan and Alchemist Mo were harmed, they truly wouldn’t know how to face the Patriarch, how to face the Ancestor.

”Hmph! This kind of strategic chessboard formation must have been sold to them by the Liu Family, the Wei Family blatantly violating our Desert Eight Families’ alliance and colluding with outsiders, deserves death!” Yan Hongsheng was the most furious, after all, the plan was proposed by him.

Third Elder Yan Talai hurriedly scolded: ”Do not speak rashly, the Array Formation Liu Family is not to be criticized lightly! Moreover, the situation here is unclear, and no evidence is left, our words hold no weight.”

”Let’s not delay any longer. Split up and take action!”

The three Grand Elders of the Yan Family instantly each chose a direction and pursued.

Rumble~

Li Ji’an only felt the ground shake and tremble, his sight turned pitch black, when he reopened his eyes, he was already in a secluded mountain valley.

”Finish the battle quickly, unleash full attack on the three Brocade Carriages, kill!” Before he could catch his breath, a thunderous shout of killing surrounded the mountain valley.

”Do not panic, protect Miss Yan the Elder, protect Alchemist Mo!” The nine core combatants of the Yan Family around the Brocade Carriages also awoke in the next moment, immediately forming a defense.

In an instant, countless magic spells bombarded the magical shield of the three Brocade Carriages.

In contrast, Li Ji’an and their two-cart team, without the protection of the One-Horned Wild Bull’s shield, were not noticed.

”Oh my!”

”Run fast!”

”We are just minor servants, don’t kill us.”

...

The early-stage Qi Cultivation servants on the carts hastily distanced themselves from the three Brocade Carriages, sprinting away.

”Quan’Er, don’t run around, follow me...” Yan Tong’s expression was grave, but unlike other servants, he did not run wildly, instead grabbed Yan Spring, cautiously hiding beside the cart.

Just squatted down, only to find that Li Ji’an was already squatting there, having taken the best spot at the wheel hub.

”Hey, Old Li... Yes, that’s right, at times like this, never run recklessly, clan wars target key figures, people like us are just burdens to the clan, unless necessary, they couldn’t be bothered with us, leaving us to consume clan resources is more valuable.”

Settling down, Yan Tong imparted his wisdom to Yan Spring.

Li Ji’an nodded in agreement, admiring the survival wisdom of the clan’s lower-level servants.

”Boom!”

”Ah!”

At this moment, a boy who had just fled first from the cart and was about to run out of the valley was struck through by a wooden spike casually flung by a Wei Family elder who was attacking the One-Horned Wild Bull’s shield.

As for those little servants who didn’t flee, he didn’t even spare a glance.

”Quick! That rampant brute is coming!” Another Wei Family elder furrowed his brow and urged loudly.

Also originating from a pioneering family in the Desert, the Wei Clan has a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, and compared to the Yan Family, the medicinal field is even more precious to them, as the clan’s top-tier cultivation technique is an Earth Element Technique.

The clan also boasts many skilled Spirit Plant Cultivators, once they obtained that Upper Grade medicinal field, in less than two hundred years, they could accumulate enough resources for a second Foundation Establishment, by then, the Wei Clan would rank among the top three within the Desert Eight Families.

As for the Yan Family, besides this Honored Alchemist, their utilization of the medicinal field is limited, if they could sever the Yan Family’s idea, it opened the possibility of negotiation between the two clans.

”Boom~” After another round of fierce bombardment, the One-Horned Wild Bull’s shield began to flicker frequently.

”Keep up the attack, it will break soon!” The Wei Clan members rejoiced.

”Roar~” The One-Horned Wild Bull couldn’t hold on, its stout four legs slowly knelt down, the light of its horn gradually dimming.

”Now’s the time, hurry!” The Wei Clan became even more excited.

Compared to the Yan Family, the Wei Clan lacked high-end combat power, with only two late-stage Qi Cultivation elders available after leaving forces to guard the medicinal field. If confronted with Yan Hongsheng in magical combat, perhaps they could stall him, but other mid-tier clan members would be unable to breach the Yan Family’s Clan Guardian Spirit Beast’s magical shield.

Today’s plan, however, perfectly solved this issue.

Once the Spirit Beast’s shield shattered, even if Yan Hongsheng rushed over, with the quantity of the Wei Clan’s mid-tier combat power, they would surely achieve success!

”Crack!”

Three breaths later, the One-Horned Wild Bull finally couldn’t hold on, the light of its horn faded away, and the shield instantly shattered.

”Kill!” The two late-stage Qi Cultivation elders of the Wei Clan were overjoyed, without hesitation, they charged at the two Brocade Carriages.

”Poof~”

”Boom~”

Facing the high-end combat power of two late-stage Qi Cultivation elders of the Wei Clan, and fifteen mid-stage Qi Cultivation combatants, the nine defenders of the Yan Family struggled to resist.

Almost immediately, they suffered a thirty percent loss.

”Protect Alchemist Mo!” At this critical moment, Yan Qingwan charged out from the Brocade Carriage, dazzling lights flickering from her hands, shooting out one Talisman after another.

”Hmph! Miss Yan the Elder is indeed extravagant, flinging out Talismans as if they cost no Spirit Stones!” A Wei Clan elder sneered, raising a Bronze Shield to meet her.

Yan Qingwan remained composed in the face of danger: ”Uncle Wei, bullying the weak, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed?”

”Haha, if Miss Yan had agreed to marry my son earlier, I wouldn’t have been so ruthless. Blame only...”

”Wei Huai Ren, I want to tear you to pieces!” At this moment, riding the Purple Gold Hammer, Yan Hongsheng finally found this place, seeing his clansmen dead and wounded, the Clan Guardian Spirit Beast on the brink, and Yan Qingwan forced into using her trump cards frequently, he was immediately enraged.

Wei Huai Ren’s expression changed dramatically, suddenly ejecting a Flying Sword towards Yan Qingwan.

”Ah!” Wei Huai Ren’s Domineering Flying Sword, nurtured for ten years, left Yan Qingwan, at the Qi Cultivation 6th Layer, with no resistance, but fortunately, the Protective Jade Talisman given by the Grand Elder allowed her to escape death, though she was still pierced through the waist by the Flying Sword, falling to the ground.

”Wei Chusheng!” Yan Hongsheng witnessed this scene, almost spitting blood, as he ferociously hurled the Purple Gold Hammer at Wei Huai Ren.

”Bang bang bang~” The Upper Grade Magical Artifact, carrying Yan Hongsheng’s overwhelming anger, turned three mid-stage Qi Cultivation members of the Wei Clan into a bloody mist in the sky.

Wei Huai Ren no longer looked at Yan Qingwan, turning back to confront Yan Hongsheng.

”Fourth Brother, help me!” But the already exhausted Wei Huai Ren, facing the furious Yan Hongsheng, couldn’t withstand, urgently called for support.

Wei Clan’s Si instantly gave up the Yan Family’s people desperately protecting Alchemist Mo and turned back to attack Yan Hongsheng.

”We’ll block this brute, you outnumber them, make sure to kill that Alchemist quickly!”

Li Ji’an had witnessed battles within the cultivation realm before, but never one of such scale.

Each fighting for their clan’s future, no right or wrong, no good or evil, only cruelty, and brutality.

Suddenly, mid-stage Qi Cultivation member of the Wei Clan attacking Alchemist Mo’s Brocade Carriage saw Yan Qingwan move slightly on the ground and casually flicked out a Wooden Spike.

”Yan Qingwan!” Li Ji’an’s eyes narrowed, without hesitation he performed the ”Drifting Step” rushing towards Yan Qingwan...
