A loud voice pierced through the gray mist.
After waiting for a few breaths, quite a few figures appeared within Ye Cang's field of vision.
All of them were Generals.
Four of them were strikingly Peak Generals.
Heh! With so many Peak Generals, it seems they really think highly of me!
Glancing over the crowd, Ye Cang sneered and spoke indifferently.
"I have no prior grievances or recent enmity with you all, so why must you insist on coming to kill me?"
"Hmph! For someone so young, you are surprisingly vicious and merciless. Brother Wang and I have been close, lifelong friends with Bai Song for many years. Today, I will use your head to console his spirit in heaven!"
One man let out a cold snort and angrily reprimanded Ye Cang.
This person was none other than Bai Song, the peak combat power of the Bai Family.
He had originally been in secluded cultivation, but unfortunately, his natural talent was slightly lacking, and he remained completely clueless about intent, forcing him to come out and seek another path of enduring prosperity for the Bai Family.
Heh! Hypocrites!
Ye Cang smiled with disdain upon hearing this.
If they were truly close friends, they would have jumped out long ago.
There was no need to put on a pretentious act after a man was already dead.
At that moment, another person spoke.
"Your martial arts talent is simply too heaven-defying, yet unfortunately, you joined the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall. Otherwise—"
Jiang Rongxuan sighed as he spoke.
"So be it! I can only blame you for being born in the wrong place, right here within the territory of Crimson Cloud City."
"Old man Jiang, what is the point of all this nonsense? This person is going to die today."
An elderly man in his sixties gripped a long blade, his murderous intent chilling as he pointed it at Ye Cang.
"And who are you?"
"Old man Luo Shan, former patriarch of the Luo Family. You little bastard killed so many of our Luo Family Generals, and today I am going to flay you alive and strip your tendons just to vent the hatred in my heart."
Hearing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed through Ye Cang's eyes.
"So it was you, you old scumbag. You dared to hire the Scorpion Three Generals to assassinate me, and today I must send you straight to hell."
With that, Ye Cang looked at the last person.
"You must be from the Feng Family, right? Stop chattering and come on! Just make your move!"
Ye Cang crooked a finger.
Facing the four Peak Generals head-on, not a shred of fear showed in his eyes.
"Audacious! Make your move and butcher him!"
Feng Quan, the Peak General of the Feng Family, instantly flew into a rage.
"Before Lord Xue arrives, we must take this kid's head."
The Peak General of the Bai Family gave a low shout.
"You notified Xue Long?"
Shock flashed through Ye Cang's eyes.
"Nonsense, we are all the foundations of our respective families. Who would fight you and that idiot Wang Family to the bitter end? As long as we stall you for an hour, Lord Xue will arrive by then, and you will undoubtedly die."
Hearing this, Ye Cang turned green with anger.
At that moment, however, a matter suddenly occurred to him.
Back when he was fighting the Peak General of the Wang Family, a phone call seemed to have come in.
It was just a pity that right at that time, his mastery over the Aurora Sword Wings and movement techniques was surging wildly, so he had simply ignored it.
Thinking back on it now...
He hurriedly checked his phone and found several missed calls.
They were all calls from Wang Xu.
Only half an hour! Even if Xue Long comes over, it will still take some time. I need to hurry up and beat these crafty old bastards to death!
Murderous intent flashed in Ye Cang's eyes as he charged directly at the nearest Feng Quan.
"Attack together! Stall this brat!"
Seeing Ye Cang charge in, Feng Quan immediately let out a loud shout.
He called for the others to make their move together.
He had already witnessed Ye Cang's battle prowess and knew very well that he was no match for him.
Clang!
Weapons collided, and a force capable of shaking mountains directly drove Feng Quan back dozens of meters.
At the sight of this, Ye Cang's gaze shifted slightly.
This old bastard doesn't want to go all out.
At that moment, Luo Shan's long blade slashed down.
Boom!
The earth shattered, and Ye Cang's figure flickered.
Compared to Feng Quan, Luo Shan went all out immediately, adopting a posture that practically screamed his determination to kill him.
Luo Shan's hatred was beyond imagination.
After all, he had practically slaughtered all of the Luo Family's Generals.
At that point, the attacks of the remaining two arrived simultaneously, cutting off his retreat.
"Let's fight!"
Ye Cang's eyes burned with battle intent.
Bursting forth with full power, terrifying strength imbued the God Slaying Sword as he launched a frantic counterattack.
Yet among these men, only Luo Shan was truly putting in maximum effort.
Even so, with their strengths being nearly equal, handling the power of all four at once caused Ye Cang to gradually feel a bit strained.
Forget it, time to spend some points again!
After exchanging blows for a brief moment, Ye Cang looked at the Life Energy he had acquired after slaughtering the members of the Wang Family.
[Life Energy: 427]
"System, add points!"
The battle continued, and several minutes later, Ye Cang felt his strength reach its limit.
At this point, he could unleash 224.2 tons of force.
For all this time, apart from Luo Shan, the other three still harbored the sole intention of trapping him.
They were waiting for Xue Long.
Meanwhile, looking at his system panel, Ye Cang saw that his combat skills and movement technique experience had also increased by over a hundred points.
I cannot go on like this. With my current strength, if Xue Long arrives, I will definitely not be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Ye Cang glanced at the dozen or so people watching the battle not far away.
"I'll use you lot to break through!"
Swish, swish, swish...
The next instant, thirteen King Slayer Flying Swords suddenly shot out in all directions, intercepting the four Peak Generals.
"A... a Psionic Warrior!"
Seeing the flying swords suddenly lunge forward, the men were stunned for a moment.
When he wiped out the Wang Family members, Ye Cang had not used his psionic abilities at all.
Now that the flying swords struck out, it caught them completely off guard.
In that instant, Ye Cang's speed exploded dramatically, and he rushed right in front of the onlookers.
"Not good! Watch out!"
They hurriedly blasted away the flying swords charging at them, only to discover that the power behind these flying swords was actually inferior to that of an ordinary High-level General.
Hearing the warning from the four Generals, those people reacted instantly.
Yet...
Plop, plop, plop...
Five sounds of flesh exploding rang out, and the heads of the weakest batch of Junior Generals among the four great families suddenly burst apart.
They were dead beyond all doubt.
Moreover, Ye Cang casually dispatched two more Junior Generals along the way.
Power that surpassed Peak Generals, when falling upon the heads of Junior Generals, was an utterly devastating, crushing blow.
Those two could not even block a single sword strike from Ye Cang.
"Scoundrel!"
"Little bastard, stop!"
"Kill him!"
Luo Shan showed no reaction, but the other three instantly flew into a rage.
Because among those people were members of their own families.
Heeding the reprimands behind him, Ye Cang did not slow his pace as his psionic power manipulated the swords to slaughter the Intermediate Generals.
As for the High-level Generals, he dealt with them directly.
Watching the Generals continuously meet miserable deaths, Luo Shan slowed his pace considerably.
The Generals of his own family had already suffered near-total losses; if the Generals of the other families did not die as well, even if Ye Cang were killed, his Luo Family would inevitably be swallowed up entirely by the rest.
Observing the few figures closing in around him, Ye Cang instantly saw through Luo Shan's intentions.
He charged a breakout path toward Luo Shan's direction.
Sure enough, Luo Shan merely exchanged a single perfunctory blow before retreating dozens of meters straight back.
Taking advantage of this opening, Ye Cang slaughtered his way into the remaining crowd.
"Luo Shan! You dare—"
Seeing Luo Shan's performance, fury filled the eyes of the others.
Several minutes later, amidst the chaotic melee, Luo Shan's half-hearted efforts afforded Ye Cang numerous openings.
Coupled with the coordination of the King Slayer Flying Swords...
In less than ten brief minutes, aside from the Peak Generals of the four great families, all the other Generals had perished by Ye Cang's hand.
[Life Energy: 740]
"System, add points!"
Looking at the few men who had surrounded him once more, Ye Cang did not panic in the slightest.
Heh! You all truly have wonderful coordination, and I admire it to the utmost, gentlemen.
At these words, Jiang Rongxuan, Feng Quan, and Bai Song were so enraged that their facial muscles twitched, and their complexions turned horrifyingly dark as their peripheral visions occasionally flickered toward Luo Shan with murderous intensity.
Ye Cang's strength was already superior to theirs to begin with, and coupled with Luo Shan repeatedly holding back, it was this that had caused their family Generals to suffer near-total annihilation.
This debt had to be settled!
