80: Chapter 80 Destroying the Su Family

Jiang Wuyu wanted to monopolize all of the Su Family's assets!

Not only did he not have to lift a finger himself, but he even had people to help him with this task. It was truly a masterfully cunning plan.

Fang Qing's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. He had no intention of being the one to take the fall.

"Senior Jiang, the enmity between our two families and the Su Family originated from the Su Family seizing the Beast Taming Inheritance that belonged to our families."

Fang Qing's tone was calm but filled with unwavering resolve: "This Legacy cannot be handed over to you, Senior Jiang. We ask for your understanding."

He respected Jiang Wuyu, but he did not fear him.

Although a Foundation Establishment Cultivator possessed formidable strength, the Fang Family still had the Yunshou Alliance backing them. Even if Jiang Wuyu was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he wouldn't dare to kill Fang Qing recklessly.

Back when Fang Xin had clamored for the Fang Family to withdraw from the Yunshou Alliance, Fang Qing had directly slapped him in response, cursed him with a 'fool', and then ignored him.

Thus, the Fang Family remained a member of the Yunshou Alliance. However, due to that fool Fang Xin offending the Vice Alliance Leader, the Fang Family's current status within the alliance had become negligible.

But regardless, the Fang Family had ultimately not withdrawn from the Yunshou Alliance. Anyone who destroyed the Fang Family would be slapping the Yunshou Alliance in the face.

This was Fang Qing's confidence.

Jiang Wuyu's expression turned displeased, but he still compromised: "Fine. You may take that Beast Taming Inheritance. As for the other things..."

"...Naturally, they are left for Senior Jiang," Zhong Ling interjected with a smile.

How many assets could an Eighth-Rank Family possibly have? Probably all combined, they wouldn't be worth as much as a single Beast Taming Inheritance.

No wonder Jiang Wuyu was willing to lie low in such a backwater place. His judgment must be flawed.

...

After reaching a consensus with Jiang Wuyu, the Cultivators from the two great families advanced with menacing Auras, striding purposefully and directly arriving at the Su Family's territory.

Seeing the hostility of the newcomers, An Ziyao immediately shouted, "Halt! What business do you all have at the Su Family?"

Faced with the challenge, Fang Qing merely made an expressionless gesture.

The Flying Swords of the Fang Family Cultivators behind him abruptly shot forth, their cold glints aimed directly at An Ziyao's throat. Their attitude was as dismissive as swatting a fly; they didn't even consider a Family's servant worth a glance.

They had come to unleash a massacre. Who would waste words on a dead man?

Since this fool dared to shout at them, they would start by making an example of him, using his first spurt of blood to mark the beginning of the Su Family's countdown to destruction!

Just as everyone assumed this servant would be instantly killed...

An Ziyao's bronze skin suddenly took on a dark, cast-iron reddish hue. The long blade at his waist rang out as it left its sheath, its speed almost too fast for the naked eye to follow.

*Clang!*

Metal clashed against metal, sparks erupted, and the sharp blade edge shattered the Flying Sword.

An Innate Protective Aura erupted from within his body. An Ziyao's figure shot forward like a crimson bolt of lightning. With a backhand slash, he cleaved through the protective spiritual power of the Fang Family Cultivator!

*Squelch!*

In an instant, a fountain of blood sprayed forth. The Fang Family Cultivator staggered back violently, clutching his spurting neck before collapsing to the ground with a look of terror in his eyes.

The sudden turn of events shocked the Cultivators from both families.

Who could have imagined that a random servant they encountered would possess such strength?

Fang Qing and Zhong Ling's gazes immediately turned sharp.

At that moment, a Zhong Family Cultivator closed in for a sneak attack, his weapon thrusting out viciously.

Without even turning his head, scorching flames erupted from An Ziyao's pores. A blade light of crimson fire cascaded forth like a volcanic eruption!

"How dare you!"

In that split second, Zhong Ling's furious roar thundered like lightning. His afterimage instantly teleported into the fray, a massive palm enveloped in fierce winds crushing down towards An Ziyao's crown.

The latter's pupils contracted sharply. Raising his blade to block, he simultaneously activated a Golden Light Talisman.

However, the light barrier had barely solidified before Zhong Ling's palm shattered it. The remaining force crashed against the spine of the blade, producing a metallic clang as if two metals had collided!

The immense spiritual power of a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator erupted, causing An Ziyao's tiger-mouth to split open and sending his body flying backward.

"Dual Cultivation of the Dao and Martial Arts?!"

Zhong Ling was shocked. He never expected his palm strike to fail in killing an Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator.

The only explanation was Dual Cultivation of the Dao and Martial Arts!

An ordinary Cultivator couldn't possibly withstand his palm strike.

"Enemy attack! Activate the Formation!"

An Ziyao steadied the spiritual power within his body and roared fiercely.

In an instant, the protective clan Formation rose, a curtain of light swiftly enveloping the Su Family's core area.

The Su Family's Cultivators and Martial Artists quickly arrived, weapons drawn, glaring furiously at the Fang and Zhong families.

Seeing the Formation rise, Zhong Ling sneered contemptuously. He produced a compass, used it to survey the area, then tossed out a Formation Flag. Intricate Formation patterns spread out from where it landed.

"A mere second-rank defensive Formation..."

Before he could finish his sentence, over a dozen Formation Flags crackling with lightning suddenly flew out from within the Su Family compound. Like over a dozen streaks of lightning, they slammed down in an instant, encircling the Cultivators of the Fang and Zhong families.

A youthful voice rang out immediately after: "Great Cavern Thunder-Slaying Formation, rise!"

As the words fell, flickering bolts of lightning appeared in the air, carrying a scorching, burnt scent.

Zhong Ling's face changed color. He hurriedly redirected his Formation Flag, creating a defensive Formation that enveloped the Zhong Family Cultivators.

A green light flashed around Fang Qing. With a sweep of his sleeve, he wrapped up the Fang Family members, transforming into a stream of light that instantly escaped the Formation's range.

*Boom!*

Thunder descended like a torrential downpour, continuously bombarding the Formation barrier, erupting in dazzling flashes of light.

At the same time, the Su Family Martial Artists immediately charged towards the Fang Family Cultivators.

The fist wind of an Innate Martial Artist struck head-on, shattering the protective spiritual light of an Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator. The blade Qi of a Martial Arts Grandmaster swept horizontally, shattering the Magical Artifacts of a Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, who spat blood and was sent flying.

Killing intent surged in Fang Qing's eyes. He was just about to take action against these Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Su Xuanjing's graceful figure stepped lightly out of the Su Family residence. She flicked three purple-patterned Talismans towards Fang Qing, which transformed into thunder serpents pouncing straight at him.

*Boom!*

Fang Qing summoned an ancient mirror Magical Artifact to block. Ripples spread across the mirror's surface, actually refracting the thunderbolts towards the sky.

Almost at the same instant.

Su Xuanming and Ruan Ning's sword tips crossed and thrust out, aiming for Fang Qing's vital points.

An Ziyao roared, a fiery blade Qi cleaving down from above!

Faced with this pincer attack, Fang Qing's withered palms danced. Poisonous thorns erupted from the ground, entangling the two swords. The spiritual power of the Late Stage Qi Refining erupted violently, numbing the tiger-mouths of Su Xuanming and Ruan Ning.

Simultaneously, he flung out a deep blue Talisman, generating a frigid current that locked onto An Ziyao's lower limbs. A layer of ice rapidly spread.

An Ziyao was completely frozen in place. He struggled fiercely, trying to break the ice.

Fang Qing seized the opportunity and struck out with a palm, dark green poisonous mist coiling around his hand.

At the very moment it was about to land, Su Xuanxiao's figure transformed into a streak of lightning, flashing in to block in front of An Ziyao.

Fang Qing reacted swiftly. He decisively flipped his poisonous palm and slammed it fiercely onto Su Xuanxiao's body.

"Explode!"

Su Xuanxiao's voice came from another location.

The 'Su Xuanxiao' touched by the poisonous mist in Fang Qing's palm suddenly swelled, its skin cracking open with spider-web-like crimson fissures.

*BOOM!!*

The Puppet exploded mid-air, the deafening roar shaking the heavens!

Blinding white light engulfed Fang Qing's figure. Energy currents like molten lava sprayed in all directions, scorching heat waves roiled like raging tides.

Su Xuanming grabbed An Ziyao and retreated from the explosion range. The searing energy even melted the ice that had sealed An Ziyao.

"Is he dead?" An Ziyao asked, his face pale.

Su Xuanming remained silent, his gaze fixed intently ahead.

They saw Fang Qing, half of his body charred black, yet still showing signs of life.

Ruan Ning immediately rushed forward to finish him off.

But then Fang Qing stood up straight. His half-crippled body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"I truly underestimated your Su Family. To think a few youngsters actually had the ability to injure me," Fang Qing's voice was hoarse, his eyes ferocious. "You've made me waste a Seven Treasures Vitality Pill for nothing."
