Leave Not a Blade of Grass, Slay Them All!

"Hehe~"

"Weizhenghua, I didn't expect you to break through to the True Martial Third Realm as well."

"And two True Martial Second Realm cultivators, plus the two juniors who left just now-seven Warriors in total. Your Wei Family is hiding quite a deep hand!"

A mocking voice rang out.

Chu Shan strode forward, walking into the large courtyard with a swagger.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was some upstart from a newly wealthy household.

Behind him-

Zhao Zhen of the True Martial Second Realm and two Second Realm elders of the Chu Household made their appearances one after another.

Four against three, the advantage was his!

Weizhenghua's expression tightened, but he soon broke into a smile and said,

"Brother Chu Shan, do you really intend to make an enemy of my Wei Family today?"

"Why don't we turn enemies into friends and bury the hatchet? Let our Wei and Chu lineages unite, finish off Qin Lu, and split his alchemy heritage!"

"Whatever Qin Lu is giving you, my Wei Family can give you just as well."

"If we unite today, you and our two lineages will divide Bayi henceforth. How about it?"

Hearing this-

Chu Shan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He drew his ancestral great broadsword, pointed it at Weizhenghua, his gaze shifted, and his True Essence surged through his entire body!

"Brother Zhenghua, times are different now!"

"If I were you, I'd abandon my wife and children just to defect to the Qin Family Head."

"Your Wei Family today..."

"Not a single blade of grass shall remain, slaughtered to the last!"

"Kill!"

With a thunderous roar, he sounded like a fierce tiger.

In an instant-

The two sides were already locked in battle, with sword lights and blade shadows flashing back and forth!

The thick battle intent was as solid as substance, and surging Blood Qi churned like a great river. Every exchange was a dance along the line between life and death.

The sound of metal clashing rang out ceaselessly, and they were truly fighting with a genuine, fiery rage!

This battle-

Would decide superiority and life or death alike. It could only end when one side was completely wiped out!

From the moment the plan was put into execution,

The two sides had no room left for turning back; it was a fight to the death!

"Form the array!"

"Follow me and kill!"

At that moment, another roar rang out.

A handsome young hero, grasping a nine-foot long spear and wearing the Plain Cloud Armor, looked imposing and heroic-the very picture of a peerless champion.

He was none other than Wang Jian, upon whom Qin Lu had pinned great hopes!

Wang Jian took the lead, charging at the head of thirty foot soldiers under his command, heading straight for the non-combatant clansmen of the Wei Family.

Though Wang Jian had only just stepped into the True Martial realm,

Wielding a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, he killed an enemy with every step!

His valor could well be called a match for a hundred men!

Turning to look at the crowd of the Wei Family, though numbering over a hundred, they were one and all frail and exhausted. Some were even frightened out of their wits...

And scared to death on the spot!

When some Wei clansmen barely managed to spark the slightest glimmer of resistance, a crowd of foot soldiers swarmed over them until they were hacked to pieces with random blades!

These foot soldiers were all veterans of the mountains.

Though they had never gone to the battlefield to kill enemies, they had spent years mingling deep in the mountains, and after a round of training and drilling by Wang Jian, they possessed quite a bit of imposing momentum.

Slaughtering these bound and defenseless Wei dogs was nothing short of cutting melons and vegetables!

"You impudent scoundrels!"

Weizhenghua's eyes split with fury, completely disregarding his fight with Chu Shan.

Among that crowd were still his wife and children!

Seeing that they were about to die at Wang Jian's hands, he could only trade injury for injury, forcefully driving Chu Shan back before turning sharply to head straight for Wang Jian.

"Wretch!"

"Unhand my son!"

Just as Weizhenghua was about to succeed,

Wang Jian glanced back, wearing the expression of one whose crafty scheme had succeeded.

With a thrust of his spear in his hand, the child of only seven or eight years old was impaled and killed on the spot!

"I've been waiting for you, old fool!"

Weizhenghua froze, and in the next moment, three figures had already surrounded him.

A broadsword, a giant axe, and a steel whip struck in succession!

With a single squelch, Weizhenghua's physical body was instantly torn to shreds, leaving him no room to resist as he perished on the spot!

"Zhenghua!"

The two Wei Family elders cried out in alarm simultaneously, a profound sense of sorrow gripping their hearts.

"Zhao Zhen! You deserve to die!"

Consumed by blazing fury, one of them launched a fierce assault on Zhao Zhen.

He looked for all the world like he wanted to drag him down together in mutual destruction!

Yet how could Chu Shan and the two others sit idly by and let Zhao Zhen take a beating? They immediately joined in to help, catching them completely by surprise with an ambush!

Now four against two, the battle was decided.

Even if the two Wei Family elders wanted to run now, it was far too late. Fighting like cornered beasts, they were ultimately worn down and killed to the last man!

The Wei Family ancestral residence-the back courtyard.

Ancestor Wei was naturally burning with anxiety at this moment, for how could he not know that a great disaster had befallen his lineage!

Only at that moment-

Qin Lu tossed a head before Ancestor Wei, and when the latter looked closely, it was none of other than Weicai who had come seeking reinforcements...

Though furious, Ancestor Wei was well aware of the opponent's formidable strength.

With just a slight sense, he knew Qin Lu had already stepped into the True Martial Fifth Realm, along with that sword-though he could make out no specific clues about it,

It nonetheless sent a faint chill of threat coursing through him!

He dared not act rashly, because he truly could not defeat him!

"Doctor Qin, my Wei Family acknowledges this defeat."

"Old man, I can let this matter rest here and no longer pursue your Qin Family's liability. Tomorrow, my lineage will relocate en masse to clear out and make space for your Qin Family."

"I only hope Doctor Qin will show mercy and spare my Wei Family a path to survival..."

With that said,

Ancestor Wei did not care about his face in the slightest, actually dropping to his knees before Qin Lu, a junior.

He sought only to trade for a path to survival...

"What if I say no?"

Qin Lu sneered. With one hand hidden behind his back, the poisonousmiasma quietly circulated, and wisps of emerald poisonous smoke continuously dissolved into the air.

For this old man to set aside his face so easily showed the profound depths of his scheming; he simply could not be left alive!

If he were spared today, it would be no different than letting a tiger return to the mountains.

Furthermore, from beginning to end, Qin Lu had never intended to let a single bloodline of the Wei Family escape. To utterly exterminate them and leave no future troubles!

That was the only way to be responsible to himself and to the Qin Family.

Seeing this situation-

Ancestor Wei remained kneeling on the ground in silence, his expression at that moment impossible to read.

"Since that's the case..."

"Then go and die!"

Suddenly, Ancestor Wei's tone shifted, and a golden talisman instantly activated.

The talisman erupted with golden light, and a golden sword abruptly materialized in the air, slashing straight down toward the crown of Qin Lu's head in the next instant!

Spiritual light surged across the blade, and a murderous intent welled up in Qin Lu's heart.

"Qin Lu, you brat!"

"Let you witness what immortal methods are like-dying now, you won't have lived at a loss!"

Ancestor Wei laughed wildly, as though he had already seen Qin Lu decapitated. So long as he struck him down and seized the alchemy heritage,

His Wei Family might yet rise again and become an immortal lineage!

Seeing the golden sword about to descend,

Although startled, Qin Lu reacted at the very first moment.

His True Essence surged frantically, gathering within the blade of the Tai'e Sword as he poured the full strength of his body into unleashing a three-foot-long greenish-blue sword light!

The moment the Sword Qi intersected with the golden sword,

The Sword Qi was torn to pieces like a scrap of paper and dissipated...

At the same time, the golden sword seemed to have suffered an impact, its attack showing a clear deviation while losing the greater part of its radiance.

Following that-the golden sword crashed to the ground.

Before long, it transformed into a stream of Spiritual Qi and completely dissipated...

As for the golden talisman, it also lost its luster and turned to fine dust!

"You..."
