Protect Our Clan Leader

“Very good! Very good! Very good!” Huangfu Kangping roared in anger, “Since we have fallen into your trap today, us, the Huangfu Clan acknowledges it. But, to think that you, Liu Qingbai, alone can take me down, it’s a sheer delusion!!”

With that, he drew his saber from his waist and charged directly.

His sword moved like a dragon, and the sword rain poured like a waterfall.

Backed by the prosperous Tianren Family of Changning, the forward Ma Huangfu Clan was not lacking any cultivation techniques.

Although the “Xuanqing Jue” that he cultivated was not as powerful and domineering as the renowned “Red Dragon True Verses”, which can be cultivated all the way to the Purple Abode Realm, it was still an authentic technique that enables cultivation up to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Moreover, the “Xuanqing Jue” was more inclusive and long-lasting in vital energy, similar to the Wang Clan’s Xuan Yuan Jue.

The swordsmanship he demonstrated was a renowned mid-grade swordsmanship called “Spring Rain Sword Technique” in Changning. When demonstrated, it was like a spring breeze brushing against the face. It was graceful and gentle, intoxicating, and in an instant, the sword intents would turn into countless droplets of rain, making it impossible to guard against, eventually delivering a fatal blow!

In order to break out, Huangfu Kangping simply skipped the initial stages of the Spring Rain Sword Technique, turning his sword intent directly into a storm of thunder, enveloping Liu Qingbai.

Countless sharp sword lights poured down, it looked as though the divine might was descending from heaven.

Liu Qingbai’s eyes flashed slightly, seeing the challenge, he praised, “Worthy of being the future hope of the forward Ma Huangfu Clan, even though his focus is divided into beast taming, his swordsmanship is still so masterful.”

With that, he too, unsheathed his Spirit Sword and met the challenge.

What he carried out was the Liu Family’s unique skill—”Primordial Water Sword Technique”. The Primordial Water Sword Technique focused on the concepts of primordial water, sometimes gentle and entangled, sometimes domineering and unrestrained, also a very powerful and difficult to deal with mid-grade swordsmanship.

The two tangled together, sword lights crisscrossed, the mysterious energy surged, and for a time, the battle was extremely intense.

Considering the cultivation base of these two, it was likely that the outcome could not be determined in a short while.

No matter whether it was the battle between Huangfu Jinyuan and the Old Ancestor of Beichen, or the intense battle between Liu Qingbai and Huangfu Kangping of the Liu Clan, both were just two corners of the battlefield. On the other side, the three men of the Yinsha Sect were also trying to break out.

Yin Twenty-six’s first breakout attempt was not successful. After being surrounded by a group of soldiers, he repeatedly made deadly moves that significantly injured several soldiers.

Commander Zhou Zhenwu of the Three Camps Patrol, seeing the situation, lamented the casualties sustained by his brothers and immediately joined the fight, wielding his war saber.

He came from a military household, and the technique he practiced was suited for killing enemies on the battlefield. His fighting style was also the typical military style, open and direct, without any fanciness.

However, every move he made exuded an overbearing, ruthless, resolute, and tragic aura.

As for all the other soldiers, he had already ordered them to retreat. As long as they surrounded the enemy, they were not required to kill. He was very good to his brothers—this time, he led them to gain merits, not to die.

“Brother Zhenwu, allow me to lend you a hand.”

At the same time, the voice of another old man rang out.

With the end of his sentence, an old man with a scholarly aura, holding a red fan, joined the battlefield.

This old man was none other than Lu Mingsheng of the Lu Clan of Yingxiu, the Old Ancestor Mingsheng.

Although Old Ancestor Mingsheng was not a top Spirit Platform elder, with his ancestral “Fan of Fire Departure”, he could even put up a fight against an ordinary mid-stage cultivator in the Spirit Platform Realm.

With a swing of his “Fan of Fire Departure”, a fiery crow would be conjured up, “flapping” as it flies up, spitting out flames towards Yin Twenty-six.

Coming to help Zhou Zhenwu at this time is to pick an easy fight, and also to get on the good side of the commander of the Patrol Camps.

Zhou Zhenwu laughed heartily when he saw this, “Thank you for your help, Old Ancestor Mingsheng!”

While talking, he swung his war saber and sped up his attack.

With the joint efforts of the two, Yin Twenty-six could only flee in a pathetic state. However, being trapped in the battle array, his desire to break out seemed futile.

Given the current situation, Yin Twenty-six’s defeat was just a matter of time.

Besides, there was another one, Yin Seventeen, a strong cultivator in the mid-stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, who was also targeted during his breakout attempt.

The one who made his move was Gongsun Clan’s Old Ancestor Gongsun Ao of Shanyang, the first of the ancestors.

The Gongsun family names their family members sequentially with the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. This Gongsun Ao was clearly a couple of generations senior to Old Ancestor Mang.

The current old man Ao had already exceeded 140 years old, and his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Platform Realm. He seemed to have lost hope of reaching the Heavenly Human Realm in his lifetime!

But he was content to see the rise of the Shanyang Gongsun Clan in his lifetime.

This time, his personal involvement was his attempt to make a considerable contribution to the In-laws Alliance on behalf of the Shanyang Gongsun Clan, as a way of repaying Wang Shouzhe’s persistent favoritism towards the Shanyang Gongsun Clan.

He even brought with him an ancestral Spirit Artifact.

It was a Spirit Weapon of the type of a demon-subduing pestle, especially suitable for cultivators of the War Body type, possessing ferocious and powerful might.

His opponent, Yin Seventeen, was obviously not an easy target. He was wrapped in a thick aura of Yin Sha. The artifact that he used was a bone whip of a fierce beast. At the top end of the bone whip, a menacing skull was embedded.

With each swing of the bone whip, the skull would howl mournfully, continuously spewing Yin Sha poison.

This person was extremely difficult to deal with.

In order to prevent any accidents, Old Ancestor Ning Wei of the Jinsha Xu Clan stepped forward to assist. Together with Gongsun Ao, he dealt with Yin Seventeen. His earth-based defensive Spirit Artifact—”Spiritual Yoad Shield,” was a greatly defensive Spirit Artifact.
