76: Chapter 76 The Destruction of the Li Family

With the death of the small patrol leader, the morale of the Li Family patrol guards plummeted; one by one, they lost the will to fight, wanting to break out of the encirclement.

Some even charged directly into the Li Family grounds.

But how could the Pei Family armored soldiers possibly give them a chance to escape?

Amidst a shrill whistling sound of piercing through the air, these fleeing patrol guards were struck by arrows and fell to the ground one by one. The armored soldiers wielding great blades then stepped forward and severed their heads.

As each fresh head fell to the ground, it signaled the annihilation of the Li Family patrol guards.

Just as the Pei Family armored soldiers entered the outer courtyard, Patriarch Li Wu led the Li Family elite out from the inner courtyard.

The distance between the inner and outer courtyards was not far, only sixty or seventy zhang. Yet, these sixty or seventy zhang were the final hurdle in conquering the Li Family.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The next moment, sharp arrows rained down densely upon the Pei Family armored soldiers.

Looking from afar, it was as if countless tiny black dots were flying toward the Pei Family armored soldiers.

Pei Tianlin let out a roar, his voice deafening, "Raise shields!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Before Pei Tianlin's voice had even faded, the Pei Family armored soldiers uniformly raised the shields they had already prepared, protecting their bodies.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The arrowheads struck the shields, emitting a series of crisp metallic clashing sounds.

Seeing the Pei Family so well prepared, Patriarch Li Wu was extremely annoyed, but he did not stop the order to fire arrows.

He knew very well that as soon as the Li Family archers stopped, the Pei Family armored soldiers would definitely swarm forward.

Swish, swish, swish... With a rapid whistling sound of piercing air, the arrows rained down again.

Facing so many sharp arrows, the Pei Family armored soldiers dared not move at all, only keeping themselves covered tightly.

Pei Tianlin stood on the roof, watching all this coldly.

He wanted to see how many sharp arrows the Li Family had left after their hasty counterattack.

Round after round, after ten volleys of sharp arrows, the Li Family's archers ran out of ammunition.

On the Pei Family side, only a small number of armored soldiers were injured.

Seeing that the Li Family archers had exhausted their tricks, Pei Tianlin commanded the armored soldiers to charge toward the Li Family.

Patriarch Li Wu's reaction was not slow; he withdrew the archers while arranging for the guards behind him to charge forward.

Soldiers against soldiers, commanders against commanders.

As the Pei Family armored soldiers and the Li Family guards fought, the group of Elders led by Pei Tianlin formed a standoff with the group of Li Family Elders led by Patriarch Li Wu.

The two Auras collided, forming an invisible wave of Qi that surged out in all directions.

Patriarch Li Wu glared at Pei Tianlin, gritting his teeth as he said, "Pei Tianlin, have your Old Ancestor come out. I want to ask Pei Qingyun if he really intends to be this ruthless."

Pei Tianlin smiled contemptuously, "Patriarch Li, you are still so naive. Could it be that our Magistrate Tang gave you courage? Since the Li Family dared to start this, my Pei Family dares to finish it. What, you dare to do it but not face the consequences? Seizing the deed to my Pei Family's herb garden means your Li Family will be buried with it. I suppose this deal is quite worth it."

"As for wanting to see our Old Ancestor, you are not qualified enough."

When had Patriarch Li Wu ever suffered such an insult? He was immediately enraged and said, "Pei Tianlin, you are courting death."

"Since that old thing is unwilling to come out, then I will send you on your way first."

While speaking, Patriarch Li Wu's Qi and blood erupted violently, and the Yang Force unique to a Five-Viscera Martial Artist attached itself to his long sword.

"Step!"

With a few leaps, he appeared before Pei Tianlin. Immediately after, a massive force erupted, and with the enhancement of the Yang Force, the long sword in his hand became like a Sharp Weapon, thrusting straight toward Pei Tianlin's chest.

Patriarch Li Wu was confident that no Divine Strength Martial Artist could block this sword strike.

At this moment, he seemed to see Pei Tianlin's struggle before death, and a cruel smile could not help but appear on his face.

A mere Divine Strength Martial Artist dared to mock him; it was simply courting death.

But the next second, his smile came to an abrupt halt.

Clang!

A long blade blocked the path of the long sword. In an instant, he felt a huge recoil force transmitted from the blade to the hilt, shaking his hand so painfully that he nearly dropped his weapon.

"This is impossible." Patriarch Li Wu's face was filled with disbelief.

A Divine Strength Martial Artist not only blocked his Yang Force but also counterattacked.

However, when he saw Pei Tianlin, the other party showed no signs of panic, his face filled with mockery toward him.

He had been deceived!

Patriarch Li Wu suddenly woke up, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Pei Tianlin is a Five-Viscera Martial Artist?

Before he could ponder further, Pei Tianlin slashed at him with the long blade, his Qi and blood belonging to the Five Viscera Realm fully erupting.

Patriarch Li Wu retreated a step and held his sword horizontally to block.

"Clang!"

The blade and sword collided, and Patriarch Li Wu retreated another step.

This time, Patriarch Li Wu truly confirmed that Pei Tianlin had achieved a Breakthrough to the Five Viscera Realm.

Realizing this, Patriarch Li Wu's heart sank.

The Pei Family, now with two Five-Viscera Martial Artists, was not something the Li Family could contend with.

In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Patriarch Li Wu's mind.

At this moment, the thought of surrendering to the Pei Family even appeared in his mind.

But soon, he rejected this idea.

The battle had reached a white-hot stage. Unlike the Wang Family, the Wang Family had only lost a patriarch.

To put it bluntly, if a patriarch dies, a new one can be chosen. Without a Five-Viscera Martial Artist, the Pei Family could tolerate the Wang Family.

But the Li Family?

After this battle began, the Li Family and the Pei Family had formed a blood feud.

Moreover, could the Pei Family really tolerate a Five-Viscera Martial Artist like him living on?

If it were him, he would definitely find a way to eliminate them.

The only way to break the situation was to eliminate Pei Tianlin.

Thinking of this, the killing intent in Patriarch Li Wu's eyes erupted like magma, unstoppable.

No, my Li Family still has a chance!

This is my Li Family's home turf, and we have more Divine Strength Martial Artist Elders than the Pei Family.

"Elders, follow me and destroy the Pei Family."

Patriarch Li Wu roared and clashed with Pei Tianlin again.

At this time, the Li Family Elders also reacted and rushed toward the Pei Family Elders, "Patriarch, I have come to assist you."

With the addition of the Li Family Elder group, the Pei Family Elder group immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the Wang Family members who attacked from the rear also arrived in time.

With the addition of the Wang Family and others, both sides were evenly matched in terms of Divine Strength Martial Artists.

But in terms of Five-Viscera Martial Artists, the Pei Family fell into a disadvantage.

Pei Tianlin was able to gain the upper hand earlier because Patriarch Li Wu underestimated him, and he took him by surprise.

With both going all out, the gap between the two immediately became apparent. In just ten moves, Patriarch Li Wu reversed the decline and gained the upper hand.

The reason why Patriarch Li Wu was more than a notch stronger was not just because he had achieved a Breakthrough to the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm earlier and had accumulated more profound Qi and blood.

The bigger reason was that Patriarch Li Wu had already cultivated the Li Family's Cultivation Technique to Perfection.

With the enhancement of the trait, Patriarch Li Wu's strength was about 30% stronger than Pei Tianlin, who had just achieved a Breakthrough to the Five Viscera Realm.

In this way, the gap in strength between the two became somewhat obvious.

After a dozen moves, Pei Tianlin was beaten into a steady retreat, and Patriarch Li Wu's advantage became increasingly obvious.

If Pei Tianlin did not retreat, according to this trend, defeat and death were only a matter of time.
