Puchi…

The monstrous beast's body, tens of meters tall, crashed to the ground.

Ye Cang calmly retracted his 'King Slayer Flying Sword'.

He was still in City No. 0126.

Waiting for the many Generals who had come to kill him.

As long as Xue Long made no move, he no longer feared the other families in Crimson Cloud City.

At worst, he could still escape easily.

He looked at his status panel.

[Life Energy: 1287]

After killing several members of the Luo Family, he continued his advance as planned.

Soon, he discovered a new species of monstrous beast.

Ironclad Scorpions!

There were over five hundred in total, large and small, with nearly half of them being Beast Soldier level monsters.

The strongest was an Ironclad Scorpion King at the intermediate Beast General level.

There were also five at the beginner Beast General level.

However, with his current strength, these forces would only meet one end.

Death!

In less than ten minutes, he had completely slaughtered the Ironclad Scorpion pack.

He glanced at the system.

He poured the Life Energy directly into the 'Physique' attribute.

His Strength was rapidly increasing. Ye Cang began to clean up the battlefield.

Before long, a surprised voice came from the Gray Mist.

"It's him! I found him!"

In the blink of an eye, the Gray Mist parted, and a figure appeared not far from Ye Cang.

The moment he saw Ye Cang, this person immediately sent a message.

"Hurry here!"

Seeing this, Ye Cang remained calm.

He had already detected them before this person arrived.

The Gray Mist Zone Detector Wang Xu had given him could sense life signs within a five-hundred-meter radius.

Warriors were no exception.

Ye Cang did not stop the other party when he saw him sending a message.

After more than an hour, he had finally welcomed the first wave of people sent to kill him.

Boom boom…

The Gray Mist in all directions was blown away by strong winds, and figures appeared around Ye Cang, surrounding him.

"That old geezer from the Luo Family wanted to keep it all to himself, but he got his teeth knocked out!"

"Haha! Once this brat's head is presented, the Luo Family will be nothing but food for our Wang Family."

Ye Cang sized up his surroundings. There were a total of eight people present.

He used his mental power to scan them and found that one of them had a very powerful aura, much stronger than the two from the Luo Family before.

"Wang Family, I don't think I've offended you? Why come here to die!"

Ye Cang spoke calmly to the leader of the Wang Family group.

"Hmph! You scoundrel, you killed Lord Xue's brother, which makes you an enemy of my Wang Family. You seeking death! Why don't you surrender quickly!"

The leader roared.

With a wave of his hand, all the Wang Family Generals around him surrounded Ye Cang.

"You all attack him together, I'll prevent him from escaping."

As he spoke, the other Wang Family Generals immediately charged forward.

The events with the Luo Family were still fresh in their minds. Once they made their move, they had no intention of giving Ye Cang a chance.

"Sigh! Since that's the case, I'll send you all on your way too!"

Ye Cang held the God Slaying Sword, killing intent appearing in his eyes.

"Die!"

One person moved the fastest, reaching Ye Cang's side in an instant. A dagger in his hand stabbed directly at his waist.

Swish!

A black shadow flashed, and his attack missed.

Just as he looked back, Ye Cang had already appeared behind him and thrust his sword backward.

Thump...

His heart shattered, and the man died instantly.

"First one!"

A faint voice rang out, and Ye Cang had already appeared beside the second person.

"Not good!"

He hadn't recovered from the shock when, in his peripheral vision, he saw a cold glint flash on the sword blade.

"Second one!"

Ye Cang's figure was like a phantom as he charged toward the third person again.

"Scatter quickly, this person's cultivation has already reached peak General."

At this moment, the leader of the Wang Family couldn't sit still.

He had originally thought Ye Cang would flee, but he hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, two Generals from their Wang Family had already fallen.

One of them was even a mid-level General.

"You little brat! Die for me!"

He wielded a thin sword and instantly charged at Ye Cang.

Boom!

The sword blades clashed, the sound like clanging thunder, and sparks flew.

The terrifying force directly impacted the ground beneath their feet, shattering it and forming a deep pit tens of meters in diameter.

In an instant, both staggered back several steps.

However, Ye Cang's expression was as usual, but the leader of the Wang Family's eyes were filled with shock.

"What is this brat's background? To possess such strength!"

He was a peak General, and one of his Combat Skills had been comprehended to perfection. With a double power bonus, his peak strength had already approached 200 tons.

He hadn't expected to still be at a disadvantage during the clash.

On the other side, Ye Cang glanced at his status panel nonchalantly.

[Physique: 472]

After the previous stat allocation, his normal strength had surged by more than ten tons, and his cultivation had also reached mid-level General.

At this moment, with multi-faceted bonuses, his peak strength could reach 211.6 tons.

Naturally, he would be stronger than the opponent.

"Peak General! Nothing more than this!"

Ye Cang sneered and charged at the opponent with his sword.

A Warrior at the General level would raise their strength to the limit of their realm, which is nearly 100,000 kilograms, and then comprehend a General-level Combat Skill to perfection.

Such a Warrior could unleash 200,000 kilograms, or 200 tons of force.

Only such a Warrior could be called a peak General!

They were the ultimate combat power below the War Venerable.

Once they comprehended Artistic Conception, they could successfully step into the realm of War Venerable.

However, Artistic Conception was mysterious and profound, and without strong martial talent, it was difficult to comprehend successfully.

Many Generals were stuck at this hurdle.

In Crimson Cloud City, in recent years, only Xue Long had successfully broken through.

This was why he had attracted the pursuit of countless families.

"Presumptuous!"

The peak General of the Wang Family roared and clashed with Ye Cang, sword against sword.

Clang, clang, clang...

A fierce battle erupted, with hundreds of tons of force clashing continuously. The terrifying Force directly tore apart the ground within a radius of tens of meters, gravel flying, and dust filling the sky.

Several minutes passed, and Ye Cang's fighting spirit grew even stronger.

In battles of the same level, the experience for Aurora Sword Wings and the Minute Level Movement Technique rapidly increased.

It made him even more excited.

"Misty Rain!"

The peak General of the Wang Family shouted, and instantly, his sword speed increased by several points, as if the sky was filled with white sword light.

"Aurora Sword Slash!"

Ye Cang, unwilling to be outdone, also increased his sword speed.

In just a few breaths, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.

Pfft...

Suddenly, the peak General of the Wang Family spat blood and retreated.

The lingering shock from the prolonged battle erupted within his body.

His blood and qi surged, and he could no longer suppress it.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with terror.

His swordsmanship was inferior to the opponent's.

But this was obvious; he had only cultivated a General-grade sword technique.

Whereas Ye Cang cultivated a King-grade sword technique.

With equal progress, he was bound to be crushed.

"You lose!"

Ye Cang said calmly, pointing the God Slaying Sword directly at the peak General of the Wang Family.

"So..."

"Die now!"

Before his voice fell, Ye Cang had already drawn his sword.

The peak General of the Wang Family hastily defended, only to discover that Ye Cang wasn't attacking him.

"Not good!"

A bad premonition flashed through his mind.

On the other side.

The remaining five Generals of the Wang Family were engrossed in watching the fight. By the time they noticed Ye Cang appearing beside them, it was too late.

Swish, swish, swish...

The God Slaying Sword slashed wildly. These individuals couldn't even block a single strike, let alone parry. Ye Cang beheaded them one by one.

Seeing this, the peak General of the Wang Family was about to charge forward, but then he changed his mind. He retreated directly and rushed towards the Gray Mist zone.

Since he couldn't win!

He could only flee!

But...

"With such a slow speed, how do you expect to escape with your life?"

Ye Cang sneered.

As they flashed past each other, he thrust his sword into the peak General of the Wang Family's chest.

Bang!

The corpse fell to the ground. Ye Cang didn't spare it another glance and directly looked toward the surrounding Gray Mist.

"Everyone, aren't you coming out to see me?"
