4: Rescue the Chu family

Several young Ma Family members walked quickly towards the inner courtyard, their faces twisted with sinister smiles.

"Ah! Beast! You're worse than an animal! She's only ten! What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

Chu Xiuran struggled violently, the chains on him rattling loudly.

He didn't fear death himself, but he would never allow anyone to bully his younger sister.

Never before had Chu Xiuran yearned for power as much as he did at this moment!

He felt a raging fire burning in his heart, and no one noticed the faint golden lightning gathering in his eyes.

"Haha, what am I doing? Haven't you already guessed?" Ma Guanpeng licked his lips.

"Let me go! Let me go!" A little girl's cry for help echoed from within the Chu Family's main courtyard.

"Hahahaha, Chu Xiuran, did you hear that? Whose cry is that? Isn't it just delightful?" Ma Guanpeng laughed heartily as he watched Chu Xiuran.

"Ah! What is that? What is that?!"

"A giant python? Where did a giant python come from?!"

"No! Help! Ahhhhhh!"

Inside the courtyard, the terrified screams of Ma Family members suddenly erupted.

......

The remaining four thousand-plus Chu Family members were confined in the Chu Family Grounds' main courtyard.

Many of them were severely injured, some sobbing softly, some silent, and some with fierce expressions!

Several Ma Family members, acting on Ma Guanpeng's orders, dragged out Chu Yanran, who was only about ten years old and crying profusely, from the crowd.

Some people rushed forward to desperately block them but were directly cut down by swinging blades!

"Although we can't kill all of you now, killing a few shouldn't be a problem!" After all, they would all be souls under their blades sooner or later.

Several Ma Family members revealed sinister grins, looking at the group as if they were already dead.

But just then, a colossal python suddenly scaled the courtyard wall and entered, biting a Ma Family member's shoulder with a single gulp.

Freezing, bone-chilling spiritual energy injected into the person's body instantly froze them into an ice sculpture!

These Ma Family members were only quasi-Martial Artists, not even First-Order Warriors, making them easy to kill!

"A Yao Beast?" A Ma Family Disciple nearby exclaimed in shock, swinging his blade at the giant python, but his steel blade instantly chipped a huge gash, while the blue scales on the giant python remained completely undamaged!

Bang! Its massive tail swept across, killing several Ma Family Disciples on the spot!

Hot blood splattered onto Chu Yanran's face, making her already pale complexion even more bloodless!

Especially that ferocious giant python, which completely scared the little girl senseless!

"Where did this Yao Beast come from?!" The Ma Family's Second Elder, who was stationed there guarding the Chu Family, roared, leaping up.

His First-Order Spiritual Artifact longsword suddenly struck towards Longyuan's head like lightning, but it was directly bitten off.

"What the hell?!" The Second Elder was greatly alarmed, his fleshy face trembling.

This was a Spiritual Artifact! It was actually bitten off by the opponent?

"You... what are you?"

"What am I? Hmph, this Venerable One is the Chu familys Guardian Beast. What do you think I am?"

Whoosh! Longyuan's body lunged towards the Ma Family's Second Elder like a gust of wind.

The latter was immediately terrified. It could speak human words?

A Fourth-Order Demon Ancestor?

"What the hell! How could such a terrifying existence be here?!" The Ma Family's Second Elder turned to flee without another word, but he was directly embraced by the legs by an old Chu Family man beside him.

"I'll curse your mother! Let go of me, you old bastard!"

"Hahaha, to be able to drag a Second-Order Warrior to die with me, this old man is content! Come die with me!" As soon as he finished speaking, Longyuan had already charged over, biting the Ma Family's Second Elder's waist.

Its massive body instantly coiled around the opponent.

Amidst a series of screams, the Second Elder was instantly killed!

The old Chu Family man who had held back the Second Elder looked at the giant python in horror. The opponent actually didn't kill him?

All the other Chu Family members trembled, their faces completely devoid of color!

"It spoke! It opened its mouth and spoke!" Someone stammered.

This was something only a Fourth-Order Martial Grandmaster Yao Beast could do!

Coupled with its massive body, which was like a small mountain range, the sense of oppression was overwhelming!

Immediately, everyone became as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to make the slightest move!

"No need to be afraid, this Venerable One is your Chu familys Guardian Beast!" Longyuan said, glancing at the survivors here.

Good, they weren't annihilated!

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for him!

"Our Chu familys Guardian Beast?" Someone reacted, stunned.

When did their Chu Family have a Fourth-Order Demon Ancestor-level Guardian Beast?

"You can ask Chu Tianyang about this when he returns!" Longyuan said.

"Our Old Ancestor is still alive?" Someone asked excitedly.

"Hmph, with this Venerable One here, he can't die even if he wants to!"

"Just now, this Venerable One went to the Ma Family with him and killed Ma Bangguo and their Clan Chief. We are currently on our way back!"

"Let's go, come out and take a look with this Venerable One!" Longyuan swayed its body, swimming outwards.

Killed Ma Bangguo and their Clan Chief?

The others exchanged glances.

Although they didn't know if it was true, some bold ones directly followed behind Longyuan.

If the opponent had wanted to kill them, not a single person here would have survived!

Outside, Ma Guanpeng was completely numb, trembling uncontrollably where he stood!

What did he see? He actually saw the corpses of his father, Ma Changsheng, and Old Ancestor, Ma Bangguo?

"How could this be?"

"Why is this happening?"

"Old Ancestor, he's a Third-Order Martial Warrior, how could he die?"

Plop! Ma Guanpeng instantly knelt powerlessly before Chu Tianyang!

It was over.

The Ma Family was finished!

He was finished too!

Seeing Chu Tianyang's cold gaze, Ma Guanpeng trembled and cried, "Senior, spare my life! Just treat me as a dog and let me go!"

"None of this was my idea! It was him, it was them! It was Ma Bangguo and Ma Changsheng, those two old guys, who made me do this!" Ma Guanpeng's face contorted as he pointed at the two corpses on the ground.

Crack!

Chu Tianyang's face was grim as he kicked out, directly breaking the opponent's legs!

"Xiuran, this person's life is yours to take!" Chu Tianyang said coldly.

"Old Ancestor?" Chu Xiuran struggled to lift his head, his eyes, where faint lightning raged, saw the Old Ancestor covered in blood before him.

"That's great, Old Ancestor... you're still alive!"

"It's alright now, everything's alright!" Chu Tianyang released Chu Xiuran from the stone pillar.

This was a Genius their Chu Family had never seen before.

If he had the conditions, his achievements would definitely surpass everyone!

At this moment, the people from the courtyard walked out, following Longyuan, and seeing the living Old Ancestor, each of them was extremely excited!

The Old Ancestor was their backbone; as long as the Old Ancestor was still here, the Chu Family would not perish!

Subsequently, everyone quickly began to untie all the people bound to the stone pillars.

Many were severely injured and had fallen unconscious.

"Immediately treat their injuries!" Chu Tianyang ordered.

Almost everyone here was a high-ranking Chu Family member or a promising young person; losing any of them would be a loss!

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully signing in at the Guardian Force, obtaining a High Grade Emperor Weapon—Dragon Emperor Palace, and a special Physique—Myriad Spirit Origin!]

The System's voice rang in Longyuan's ears, and then a majestic nine-story palace appeared within the System space.

"An Emperor Weapon!" Longyuan sighed.

That was something only a legendary Ninth-Order Martial Emperor possessed!

Indeed, the feeling of having a cheat was truly exhilarating! One could easily obtain unimaginable treasures!

And although the Myriad Spirit Physique was only a King Physique, this Physique had a very high compatibility with the essence of heaven and earth, allowing for extremely fast Cultivation speed!

Of course, Longyuan didn't care for this Physique.

No matter how high the compatibility, could it be higher than his own 20 times Cultivation speed?

So, this Physique would be rewarded to a Chu Family member later!

At this moment, Longyuan turned his gaze to the young man beside Chu Tianyang.

[Cultivator]: Chu Xiuran

[Physique]: Purple Firmament Lightning Body (High Grade King Physique, Not Awakened)

[Realm Cultivation]: First-Order Martial Artist Middle Stage

[Physical Body Cultivation]: Quasi-Martial Artist

[Identity]: Chu Family Member

Another King Physique? Longyuan was surprised.

In recent years, he had occasionally heard Martial Artists mention in the Nine Heavens Mountain Range that Physiques were divided into Mortal Physique, Spirit Physique, King Physique, and so on...

Aside from the Mortal Physique possessed by ordinary people, other Physiques were quite rare.

He hadn't expected the Chu Family to have one!

"It seems he will have to be the focus of Cultivation from now on!" He then looked at Chu Tianyang and said, "Can you handle the rest?"

As a Guardian Beast, he didn't need to do everything himself!
