Lu Changsheng thought that with the presence of unparalleled experts like Yang Qing and Qiongxiao Sword Maiden, he only needed to deal with Han Jie. Unexpectedly, he still had to take action himself to resolve a group of Han Family Elders.
Seeing the unfathomably powerful Cold Bone Demon Venerable dealing with Yang Qing and Qiongxiao Sword Maiden, the Clan Leader of the Ancient Han Family, Han Fan, gritted his teeth and said, “I have the Mountain and Rivers Chart, and now that the most troublesome Yang Qing and Qiongxiao Sword Maiden are being restrained by Cold Bone Demon Venerable, we may not be without a chance of victory. All the Elders above the Immortal Emperor Realm, come forth, let’s fight with our backs to the river.”
Han Fan shook the Mountain and Rivers Chart, and one after another, figures emerged from within it.
These were all the masters above the Immortal Emperor Realm from the Ancient Han Family, Elders born over hundreds of generations, all taking action.
The Ancient Han Family was making a desperate move.
A Golden Armor Heavenly General coldly snorted, “Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Form the formation!”
A hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals surrounded the people from the Ancient Han Family and Evil Extreme Sect from all sides.
Seven Golden Armor Heavenly Generals, each holding a golden divine banner, formed a Great Formation.
The Divine Formation began to operate, the sounds of the Great Dao echoed, and a vast and mighty pressure descended from the Nine Heavens!
“What is this Great Formation?”
The people from the Ancient Han Family and Evil Extreme Sect felt as if they were burdened by a huge mountain, struggling to breathe.
The turbulent flow of time and space passed by on one side, but it couldn’t affect this Great Formation.
Everyone from the Ancient Han Family and Evil Extreme Sect was trapped inside the Great Formation.
Han Fan quickly brought out the Mountain and Rivers Chart, using this treasured item to resist the pressure from the Great Formation; otherwise, just the descending heavenly might alone would be enough to crush everyone inside.
“This is the Mountain-Sealing Demon Suppression Formation, with a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals forming the formation, it can suppress even Great Experts.”
Yuexi felt quite proud of the Heavenly Court’s strength.
Although her combat power was not as strong as Lu Changsheng’s, the strength of Heavenly Court was indeed stronger than that of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
“The Ancient Han Family has the Mountain and Rivers Chart, I’m afraid the Mountain-Sealing Demon Suppression Formation might not be able to eradicate them, action is still necessary.”
Lu Changsheng noticed that the Ancient Han Family’s Clan Leader was using the Mountain and Rivers Chart to resist the Mountain-Sealing Demon Suppression Formation, while the numerous Han Family Elders formed the Han Family’s unique Great Formation, together with Han Fan resisting the Mountain-Sealing Demon Suppression Formation formed by the hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
Without Yang Qing, the highest in cultivation, sealing the formation, its power was greatly reduced. Facing the desperate resistance of all the Elders from the Ancient Han Family, it couldn’t erase these people in a short period of time.
“Take action.”
Yuexi agreed with Lu Changsheng’s idea. She led the experts from the Mysterious Lady Palace, along with experts from more than a dozen sacred lands, into the Great Formation to attack the people of the Han Family.
“Lu Changsheng!”
Han Jie saw that Lu Changsheng was getting closer and couldn’t help but panic.
Now, for Lu Changsheng, killing him was like crushing an ant.
“Ancestor, save me!”
“Do not harm my grandson!”
Han Jie’s branch family’s Ancestor hurriedly blocked Lu Changsheng.
Han Jie was his most cherished descendent, if something went wrong with him, the opponent wouldn’t be able to get away with it.
Without another word, Lu Changsheng conjured the Divine Sword Purple Lightning Clear Frost and engaged with this Han Family Ancestor.
Since enmity with the Ancient Han Family had already been established, and the Ancient Han Family had violated the taboo of the Immortal Realm, there was no need for mercy.
“Ancestor, kill him!”
Han Jie was extremely fearful of Lu Changsheng, worried that Lu Changsheng would seek revenge on him anytime. He hoped the Ancestor could kill Lu Changsheng to end this threat forever.
This Han Family Ancestor scrutinized Lu Changsheng: “Although I do not wish to offend Mount Taihua Sacred Land, our Ancient Han Family has no place in the Immortal Realm now. Killing you is nothing serious. Just accept your death quietly. Ha!”
The Han Family Ancestor roared, his True Qi surged wildly, his gray Daoist Robe puffed up, and his hoary beard bristled.
He was a Seventh Rank Divine King, one of the top experts in the Ancient Han Family, was he not even a match for a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor?
Only the people of Mount Taihua Sacred Land knew of Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to the Ninth Rank Divine King.
In the eyes of several Ancestors from the Ancient Han Family, Lu Changsheng was still at the Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor level, and there was a significant gap between them.
“Ancestor is a Seventh Rank Divine King; this kid Lu Changsheng has no chance of being the Ancestor’s opponent. As long as the Ancestor kills him, I no longer have to worry about being killed by him.”
Han Jie, along with other Han Family Elders, continued to maintain the Great Formation, contending against the hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, while hoping the Ancestor could kill Lu Changsheng.
Experts from Mysterious Lady Palace and more than a dozen sacred lands charged over, forcing Han Family Ancestors like Han Shaolin and other experts to engage in battle.
If it weren’t for the Han Family Clan Leader using the Mountain and Rivers Chart to maintain the Great Formation, it was likely that the Han Family’s members would have already been sealed by the Mountain-Sealing Demon Suppression Formation of the hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
“Damn it! Damn it! I must kill you in the future! No, I want to capture you alive, to torment you well, making you unable to live or die!”
Han Shaolin roared repeatedly.
His opponent was Yuexi.
Yuexi was also a Ninth-grade Divine King, yet as the number one talent of the Mysterious Lady Palace, it took Yuexi less than a million years to step into the Divine King Realm, surpassing even Han Shaolin, who took three million years, in talent.
The invincible Han Shaolin of the younger generation of the Ancient Han Family was crushed by Yuexi, whose three-foot-long green longsword severed Han Shaolin’s left arm, eliciting a scream of agony from him.
What truly caused Han Shaolin to crumble was the pride of being a talent.
He had thought himself invincible under the heavens, but faced with a true genius, he was utterly crushed.
Han Shaolin could not stand this blow to his ego.
Elsewhere, Lu Changsheng crossed hands with the Han Family ancestor.
The Han Family ancestor sacrificed a dazzlingly bright treasure blade that could slice through iron as if it were mud and easily sever space and time.
Lu Changsheng wielded swordsmanship of the Fifth Sword Realm, fighting fiercely with the Han Family ancestor without being at a disadvantage and even with plenty to spare.
Lu Changsheng was precisely using the Han Family ancestor to comprehend the second set of sword techniques of the Fifth Sword Realm.
“You, you’ve reached the Divine King Realm?!”
The Han Family ancestor, truly clashing with Lu Changsheng, immediately realized that Lu Changsheng was no mere Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor, but had already broken through to the Ninth-grade Divine King Realm.
Even in the Immortal Emperor ninth-layer realm, Lu Changsheng could defeat those in the Ninth-grade Divine King Realm; now that he stepped into the Ninth-grade Divine King Realm himself, countering a Seventh-grade Divine King like the Han Family ancestor was insignificant.
“What?”
Yuexi also noticed that Lu Changsheng had reached the same realm as her and was greatly shocked.
Lu Changsheng becoming a Ninth-grade Divine King truly placed him above the younger generation of the Heavenly Court in strength.
“Truly fitting of him…”
Yuexi smiled bitterly.
She thought that after tens of thousands of years, she could narrow the gap with Lu Changsheng, but instead, the gap only grew wider.
“This is impossible!”
Han Jie had hoped that the ancestor could help him take his revenge, but it turned out that Lu Changsheng was even more powerful in battle.
Han Jie had never felt such despair.
Back when Lu Changsheng had just joined Jing Long Immortal Temple, he appeared as nothing but an ant in Han Jie’s eyes, yet now, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level had left him far behind.
“You’re using me to practice your sword skills!”
The Han Family ancestor, clashing with Lu Changsheng, realized that Lu Changsheng was not using his full strength, but was instead using him to hone his swordsmanship, and couldn’t help but be incensed.
Lu Changsheng simply looked down on him.
“So what if I am using you to practice my sword skills?”
Lu Changsheng continued to compare swordsmanship with the Han Family ancestor, but his left hand now held a dagger.
This dagger, as quick as lightning, struck at the Han Family ancestor.
Caught off guard, the Han Family ancestor received a cut that left a bloody mark.
“Your dagger is poisoned…”
The Han Family ancestor’s heart jolted, feeling the vital forces in his body rapidly dissipating.
“This dagger is the treasured item of the Carefree Old Man, and it’s also coated with the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison. You should die without regrets.”
“Care… free Old Man…”
The Han Family ancestor, before his death, suddenly regretted why he had protected Han Jie.
If even a legendary assassin like the Carefree Old Man could be killed by Lu Changsheng, what qualifications did he, a mere Seventh-grade Divine King, have to oppose Lu Changsheng?
The Han Family ancestor perished miserably, leaving Han Jie with an ashen face.
This ancestor of the Han Family was his greatest support and was an established name in the Immortal Realm, yet he was effortlessly killed by Lu Changsheng.
Without the protection of the ancestor, what was he, Han Jie, amount to?
Suddenly, Han Jie knelt down with an awful look on his face, “Lu Changsheng, I offended you before, please spare my lowly life; I am willing to take a blood oath to serve as your servant, and I will never betray you.”
“Disgraceful descendant!”
The Clan Leader of the Han Family was using the Mountain and Rivers Chart to contend against the Mountain-Sealing Demon Suppression Formation, and when he saw his descendant kneel down to beg the enemy for mercy, he was so furious he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Although the Han Family was about to pledge allegiance to the Cold Bone Demon Venerable, this descendent’s spine was far too soft.
“I don’t need a servant.”
The dagger in Lu Changsheng’s hand flew out, piercing through Han Jie’s body.
