An Instant Kill of a Deity Transformation Cultivator
In the main hall of the Li Family, Li Zhicheng, the Li Family Patriarch, sat imposingly, looking with amusement at the young girl who was bound hand and foot in the center of the Great Hall.
These days, Li Zhicheng is riding high. Although he has become the enemy of the Asura Sect, with the Qingxu Sword Sect, Weituo Temple, Tiandao Sect and more than a dozen other Sect as his support, Li Zhicheng feels that his Li Family has truly found a powerful backer.
Although the Asura Sect is very strong, can it really defeat all the Sect working together? Li Zhicheng didn't believe it; otherwise, the Asura Sect wouldn't be in a standoff with those smaller sects.
With all the Sect uniting against the Asura Sect, Li Zhicheng felt that the Asura Sect was doomed to lose, and that aligning himself with that Alliance was truly the right thing to do.
"The thirteenth young lady of Tang Family Fort? Where are your surviving brothers and sisters?" Sitting in the patriarch's seat, Li Zhicheng looked down at the bound Thirteenth Miss Tang and asked with an imposing air.
"Bah! You spineless cowards! It's a shame that our Tang Family Fort allied with your Li Family through marriage, yet you are so vicious! You will surely die a horrible death, and the Asura Sect will raze your Li Family to the ground!" The Thirteenth Miss Tang, though young, had quite the backbone. Trapped in the Li Family, she probably already knew that she had no hope of survival, and thus disregarded life and death.
"Hmph, the Asura Sect? They're barely able to protect themselves. They're doomed to the Asura Sect this battle." Thinking of the poison techniques the Alliance had asked him for, and the news of the Poison Emperor that came from the warship, Li Zhicheng's face showed a smug expression.
"Master, something terrible has happened..." Just then, a panicked shout rang out, and a servant of the Li Family stumbled and rushed in from outside.
"You insolent fools! What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? What kind of behavior is this?" Li Zhicheng shouted in a deep voice, his face very unpleasant, looking at the servant's panicked appearance. He was practically the only one in Shuzhong City now; what could possibly make his men panic in this small territory?
"Master, something terrible has happened! The people from Tang Family Fort have all come out!" Li Zhicheng demanded. The servant calmed down a bit, but he still stammered.
Upon hearing the servant's words, the Thirteenth Miss Tang, who was bound hand and foot in the center of the Great Hall, changed her expression drastically.
"The people from Tang Family Fort came out? Aren't they just walking into a trap? How can you say something terrible has happened when such a good thing is going to happen? What are you all doing? Since those people from Tang Family Fort are throwing their lives away, we should all wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Raising an eyebrow, Li Zhicheng spoke, a hint of doubt in his voice: Had those people from Tang Family Fort given up hiding and prepared for a desperate fight?
"That's not it," the servant of the Li Family stammered, panting heavily, "There's an Asura Warship hovering over Shuzhong City, and all the people from Tang Family Fort have boarded it."
The man was so anxious he was almost in tears. The Tang Family Fort family had come out; they wanted to wipe them all out in one fell swoop? He wanted to, too, but once on the Asura Warship, what could he do against Warships hovering in the air? Besides, who would dare to attack Asura Sect Warships?
"What!?" Li Zhicheng could no longer maintain his composure. He suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise. The appearance of the Asura Warship here clearly meant that the outcome of the Ancient Qin Battlefield had been decided.
"Hahaha, your Li Family is doomed! How dare you defy the Asura Sect! Your destruction is imminent..." Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Miss Tang, who was bound hand and foot in the hall, laughed loudly.
"Where is the Li Family Patriarch?" At that moment, a thunderous voice rang out from the sky, its rolling sound like Thunderclap echoing throughout the entire Shuzhong City.
The commotion here had already attracted the attention of the entire Shuzhong City. Seeing the Asura Sect's Warships, everyone in Shuzhong City felt threatened. Who didn't know that the Asura Sect was the king of Yanling Commandery?
Although he was very unhappy with the Thirteenth Miss Tang, now was clearly not the time to waste time on her. Li Zhicheng's face was very ugly. He took the lead and stepped out of the hall. A blue long sword appeared under his feet. Artifact Flight. He was also a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator.
"I am Li Zhicheng, the Li Family Patriarch. May I ask who from the Asura Sect is looking for me?" Behind Li Zhicheng, three more beams of light shot into the sky. The Li Family was indeed a cultivation family in Shuzhong City, possessing four Deity Transformation stage Cultivator, and the family head, Li Zhicheng, was even at the Spell Control Stage.
"Your Li Family colluded with the Qingxu Sword Sect and others to destroy Tang Family Fort, and attempted to create the Stormy Pear Blossom Needles target my Asura Sect. Do you plead guilty?" Zhuge Xiang stepped forward first, his face impassive and coldly questioning Li Zhicheng. Although he was only at the Third Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm, his aura overshadowed that of the Li Family head, who was at the Spell Control Stage.
"It's a misunderstanding, this is absolutely a misunderstanding. My Li Family has never done such a thing. Brother Zhuge, you are slandering my Li Family like this, do you have any Evidence?"
Upon seeing Zhuge Xiang appear, Li Zhicheng's expression changed. Zhuge Xiang, with his Innate Realm cultivation, had killed Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator in Shuzhong City, earning him the reputation of God of Slaughter throughout Yanling Commandery. Now, with the Asura Warship hovering in the sky, how could he possibly admit it?
Wait a minute, wasn't he only at the Innate Realm a while ago? Now? He's actually reached the Return to Simplicity Realm? This growth rate is too fast!
"Evidence?" Zhuge Xiang smiled wickedly, his expression full of sarcasm. "What a joke! Do you think the Asura Sect acts like those so-called righteous sects, needing so-called Evidence for everything? Everyone, what are you waiting for? Let's make our move."
Zhuge Xiang's last words were clearly addressed to the disciples on the Asura Warship. With Zhuge Xiang speaking, how could these disciples dare to be negligent? The low-grade Spirit Stone activated, and the nine secondary Secondary Cannon on each side began charging, their dazzling light and destructive aura aimed at the Li Family.
Although the Li Family's mansion was large enough, the simultaneous firing of the Asura Warship's eighteen secondary Secondary Cannon was equivalent to eighteen Spell attacks. How could the Li Family possibly survive?
"Stop!" Li Zhicheng shouted, seeing that the Secondary Cannon on the Asura Warship were still charging and knowing the Warships's power very well. Immediately, the three Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator also attacked together, bombarding the Asura Warship.
"You all go down first and wipe out the Li Family. Assassin, gunners of the Asura Warship, take out these four old dogs at the Deity Transformation stage." Sitting at the head of the Warships, Zhuge Xiang was fully aware of the situation and issued the orders in an orderly manner.
This battle against Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator would have been chaotic for ordinary Cultivator, but these were disciples who had been on the Battlefield and experienced large-scale wars between more than 100,000 Cultivator. This situation was a piece of cake for them. One by one, the Cultivator followed Zhuge Xiang's orders in an orderly manner and slid off the Asura Warship. The more than 300 disciples were like more than 300 tigers.
"We're going too..." The disciples of Tang Family Fort, seeing the imminent Destroy the Li Family, could not stand idly by. They hurriedly spoke up, following behind the Asura Sect Disciples, sliding off the Asura Warship and rushing towards the Li Family.
Boom boom boom...
As Zhuge Xiang gave the order, the gunners on the Warships skillfully adjusted the position of the cannons, aiming them at the Nascent Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Li Family. Beams of light filled with destructive power shot out, no less powerful than a full-force attack from Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator.
The battle below had already begun. The voices that gave him experience kept ringing in his mind. Zhuge Xiang sat upright, showing no intention of making a move. He simply gave orders. This was the advantage of power. Facing a cultivation family, Zhuge Xiang didn't even need to lift a finger. He could simply sit on the Warships and command, and he could raze the cultivation family to the ground.
Beams of light were fired, but the Deity Transformation stage Cultivator, Artifact Flight, were incredibly fast and had terrifyingly strong reflexes. They managed to dodge dozens of beams of light in succession. Instead, the Poison Arts attacks of these four Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator caused ripples in the Asura Warship's protective shield.
The Li Family of Shuzhong City is famous for incorporating Toxins into their cultivation Cultivation Technique. All their Cultivation Technique are imbued with Poison Attribute, so in a one-on-one Duel, few people would be willing to fight a member of the Li Family of the same level.
"Black Tiger, go up and help..." Seeing the four Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators from the Li Family moving nimbly to avoid the Warships's cannon fire, Zhuge Xiang looked at the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger beside him and said.
"Yes!" Nodding, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger lying beside Zhuge Xiang stood up, spoke in human language, and then its wings fluttered, the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy surged, and its killing intent soared to the sky. As Monster Beast with the attribute of slaughter, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger moved, and its killing intent was so dense that it was suffocating.
"Fairy!?" Upon seeing the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger fly out, the expressions of the several Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators from the Li Family changed.
The Phoenix Winged Black Tiger joined the battle, but it didn't intend to engage in a direct confrontation. Instead, it coordinated with the Asura Warship's artillery fire to entangle several Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators from the Li Family.
With the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's assistance, the disciples on these Asura Warships were much easier to control. After fighting for less than half an hour, the three Deity Transformation stage Cultivator were killed one by one by the Asura Warship's Secondary Cannon.
Although this battle was far less significant than the large-scale wars on the Ancient Qin Battlefield, the deaths of over a thousand Li Family and the fall of three Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator still brought Zhuge Xiang over two million experience points.
Zhuge Xiang, who was just two million experience points away from leveling up, indeed reached the Fourth Layer of the Return to Simplicity Realm. Unfortunately, he seemed to have used up all his Luck on the Beginner Big Turntable, as he didn't get a single drop from the three Nascent Deity Transformation Cultivator.
"Damn it! I'll kill you all!" Seeing the members of the Li Family fall one by one in battle, and several high-ranking members of the Deity Transformation stage being killed as well, Li Zhicheng was enraged and went mad, and terrifying Purple-Black poison gas surged from his body.
"Stop, all of you! Let me handle this!" Seeing Li Zhicheng, a cultivator at the Spell Control Stage, going mad, Zhuge Xiang couldn't bear to let the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger be poisoned, so he shouted. As he spoke, his Phoenix Feather Wings fluttered, and he rushed out.
As the Azure Nether Blade was unleashed, the Bronze Gate opened, and One Thousand Wraiths surged forth. In the Asura Battlefield, when the Vengeful Soul Count collected exceeded nine hundred, the Azure Nether Blade's poison effect was aggravated. After a fierce battle within the Li Family, the upper limit of One Thousand Vengeful Souls had long been reached... (To be continued...)
