13: Chapter 13 Fierce Battle

"Old fox, take this!" Wu Linfang brandished a huge axe and chopped toward Clan Leader Chen Xuanlin's head.

Clan Leader Chen Xuanlin was unhurried, forming a hand seal with his left hand as countless Spiritual Qi condensed around him, transforming into droplets of rain Sword Qi.

"Rain Sword Spell." Clan Leader Chen Xuanlin chanted silently.

Countless raindrops slashed toward the two people opposite him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wu Linfang and Wu Xianlin were driven back several zhang.

Especially Wu Xianlin, who wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in surprise, "I didn't expect your strength, you old scoundrel, to still be so formidable."

"In that case, take this move of mine." After Wu Xianlin finished speaking, a transparent Sword Qi roughly three zhang in size condensed before him, and then under his control, this invisible Sword Qi surged toward Clan Leader Chen Xuanlin.

Not far from the battlefield of these three people,

Chen Yuanshan was single-handedly suppressing an opponent in the Late Qi Refining Stage and two in the Middle Stage.

"Hmph! It really is you."

As it turned out, the old man opposite Chen Yuanshan was not only the one who threatened the Chen Family at the ancestral hall years ago, but his missing left arm also allowed Chen Yuanshan to recognize that he was the one who led people to ambush and kill him back then.

"So what if you found out? Your Chen Family will be exterminated today anyway," the gray-robed elder Wu Linchen sneered.

"Who will exterminate whom today is not yet certain," Chen Yuanshan said calmly. Suddenly, he felt a chill spread throughout his body from behind.

He looked back to see a jade hand striking toward him. Too late to dodge, he had to take the blow squarely.

"Older Brother Yuanshan, how is Younger Sister's Bone-Eroding Palm?"

Chen Yuanshan looked over and saw that the owner of the jade hand was a bewitching and beautiful woman.

"Wu Linyu, I didn't expect you to have entered the Late Qi Refining Stage as well!" Chen Yuanshan spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the corner of his mouth, and his gaze revealed a trace of disgust.

"Hehe, Older Brother Yuanshan, this concubine holds... bone-deep hatred for you!" Wu Linyu's tone suddenly turned shrill as a pair of jade hands abruptly struck out, sending two streams of black Evil Qi surging toward Chen Yuanshan.

Wu Linchen and another Middle Stage Cultivator seized the opportunity to launch a joint attack.

On the other side, the remaining purple-robed youth of the Wu Family originally intended to slaughter the Middle Stage Cultivators of the Chen Family while all the Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivators of the Chen Family were held back, but he didn't expect Chen Yuanwen of the Chen Family to have also broken through to the Late Stage.

The two of them also began fighting.

Not far away, Chen Changqing and the others watched the battlefield where both sides were engaged in a fierce battle, their hearts rising to their throats.

Although a few Cultivators of the Wu Family died at the very beginning, because the Wu Family had far more Cultivators than the Chen Family, the Chen Family was currently at a disadvantage.

"It's our turn to strike, while all the Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivators of the Wu Family are held up," Chen Yuanjin reminded. Then, she took the lead in driving the qingyang sword and rushed toward the Wu Family ancestral hall.

Chen Changqing and the other two followed closely behind.

Along the way, several Wu Family Cultivators stepped forward to intercept them, mostly in the Early Qi Refining Stage, though there was also one in the Middle Stage.

With just a single move, Chen Yuanjin killed that Middle Stage Cultivator, leaving the remaining Early Qi Refining Cultivators to be handled by the other three.

What Chen Changqing faced was a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage Layer 3 Perfection, not far from the Qi Refining Stage Layer 4.

As his first battle after transmigrating into this realm, Chen Changqing behaved very calmly, pinching several Talismans in one hand while controlling the qingyang sword with the other to slash at his opponent.

Then he casually activated the Talismans in his hand and threw them at the opponent. For a moment, several fireballs and a few wind blades struck toward the opponent together.

The opponent, a Qi Refining Stage Layer 3 Cultivator, had never seen such a prodigal method and panicked for a moment. Just as he managed to summon his Magical Artifact to defend himself, it was instantly slashed in half by Chen Changqing's qingyang sword. Seeing that several fireballs and wind blades had already reached his front, fear flashed through his heart before he was swallowed by these Spells.

"Ah!" After a miserable scream, a horribly mutilated corpse scattered all over the ground.

Chen Yuanzhan and the other person had also just resolved their opponents.

The three of them turned to look at Chen Changqing, their eyes carrying a trace of strangeness.

"I thought a Qi Refining Stage Layer 3 Cultivator would be hard to deal with, and it turns out to be just this?" Chen Changqing complained inwardly. Although he looked calm on the surface just now, his heart was actually extremely nervous. He had been thinking that if this move didn't work, he would dump all the Talismans from his Storage Pouch in one go and then run away.

"……" The few of them were speechless. Using so many Talismans to deal with a Qi Refining Stage Layer 3 Cultivator—just how prodigal was this!

"Ahem! Let's continue." Chen Yuanjin broke the silence. After she and the others collected the opponents' Storage Pouches, she led the group to continue toward the Wu Family's ancestral hall.

The Wu Family ancestral hall also noticed the commotion here and immediately dispatched one Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivator and several Middle Stage Cultivators to intercept the four Chen Changqing members.

Chen Yuanjin made a prompt decision, using the qingyang sword in her hand to draw that Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivator and two Middle Stage Cultivators into her own combat range.

As for the other three Middle Stage Cultivators, they were handled by Chen Changqing and the other two.

Fighting up to this point, Chen Changqing felt somewhat emotional. He hadn't expected the Wu Family to still have so many Middle Stage Cultivators. Originally, there were already nearly ten Middle Stage Cultivators on Clan Leader Chen Xuanlin's side, plus the ones who died just now and those who had just been dispatched from the ancestral hall.

Adding them up, there were almost twenty people, and there were still a dozen or so Cultivators standing over at their ancestral hall, who were presumably all Middle Stage Cultivators.

As for why they didn't all make a move, it was because the Chen Family was also hiding their strength; whoever exhausted their trump cards first would die first.

Just as Chen Changqing was still feeling emotional inwardly, a middle-aged Cultivator among the three locked his eyes on him.

The corners of Chen Changqing's mouth curled up. Through the previous Spell battle, he had a clear understanding of his own strength. In a one-on-one fight, his strength was such that even ordinary Middle Stage Cultivators were no match for him.

Although his magical power cultivation was only Qi Refining Stage Layer 3 Perfection, after his magical power was refined by the dao bead, its profundity and thickness were far beyond what ordinary Middle Stage Cultivators could compare to. As for what extent it had reached, he would just have to see how it compared to the middle-aged Cultivator before him.

Chen Changqing raised a finger, his fingertip wreathed with extremely pure wood Spiritual Qi. With a single point, the Azure Wood Finger.

The Azure Wood Finger, carrying a terrifying momentum, headed toward the middle-aged Cultivator.

That middle-aged Cultivator was only at Qi Refining Stage Layer 4 Perfection. Facing such a blow, he felt as if he were facing a Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivator. How was this possible? He looked so young, yet he possessed such a terrifying Spell.

Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's face. He took several Talismans from his Storage Pouch and threw them in front of him, instantly forming colorful barriers before him.

Then he summoned a golden flying knife Magical Artifact to attack the Azure Wood Finger.

Just as he finished making these preparations, Chen Changqing's Azure Wood Finger arrived before him. In just an instant, it shattered his golden flying knife into pieces.

What?!

Everyone was startled.

The momentum of the Azure Wood Finger only decreased slightly before continuing toward the middle-aged Cultivator.

"Linfen, save me."

The middle-aged Cultivator finally realized the danger at this moment and shouted to a Cultivator who was fighting with Chen Yuanjin.

"Damn it, you're courting death." Wu Linfen noticed this side and wanted to come over to rescue him, but Chen Yuanjin drove the qingyang sword to block his path.

One attacking, one defending; the tide turned in a flash.
