Chapter 116: Clan Protection Formation (Please Subscribe)_1
Although Duanmu Lian and her companion were very curious at heart, seeing Xu Sheng speak so casually, they assumed it must not be a serious matter...
Meanwhile, the leading disciple from the opposite side had noticed that some disciples had already secretly entered the mansion to report, and for no apparent reason, courage surged within him...
All he had to do right now was to stall these three people!
Taking a deep breath, he said coldly, "Hmph! If you have the guts, just wait. Once our Yun Clan Patriarch and the Elders arrive, you won't be able to leave even if you wanted to!"
The other Yun Family disciples seemed to realize something and, stiffening their necks, mocked Xu Sheng and his two companions with scorn, "That's right! Even if this woman is an Immortal Monarch-level expert, she's nothing but a plaything easily handled by our Clan Leader!"
"We were considering sparing your lives, but since you're courting death, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
"Our Yun Clan has been established here for so long, and yet no one has dared such a blatant provocation. You three, must pay the price! Otherwise, everyone will think the Yun Clan is easy to bully!"
Zhou Qingruo, hearing these words, said icily, "Shut up, a bunch of ants!!"
As soon as she spoke, she swung her personal sword without hesitation. The sharp Sword Qi instantly rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, it decapitated a disciple from the Yun Family, with blood splattering all over the ground...
This swift and decisive act caused the Yun Family disciples to inhale sharply, and they all shut their mouths, their previous arrogance fading away...
They could not have imagined that such a beautiful woman could be so ruthless and wondered if they would be the next to have their heads severed!
This naturally discouraged them from speaking further...
Seeing the Yun Family disciples shutting their mouths, Duanmu Lian blinked her beautiful eyes, hesitating as she said, "Qingruo, was it appropriate to act so directly?"
She had also disdained how these Yun Family disciples, despite being so weak themselves, dared to provoke them relying on the name of their Clan Leader...
Even if their entire clan was exterminated, she would understand!
If it were not for her desire to avoid unnecessary trouble, she would have acted even earlier!
Zhou Qingruo glanced at her and said indifferently, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. These fellows, wanting to stop us, surely they have no good intentions at heart!"
Her character was always such that she never showed mercy to anything that threatened her!
And Xu Sheng, who had been watching all of this, of course, saw through the little tricks of these Yun Family disciples...
Without saying more, their intention was certainly to delay him and the others...
Which is why he did not stop Zhou Qingruo from taking action!
Just then, a voice as deep as a bell rang out in the space...
"Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Yun Clan? Do you really think that, as Clan Leader, I do not exist?"
A slightly aged middle-aged man emerged flying from within the mansion with several Elders and landed steadily on the ground...
He was none other than the Yun Clan Patriarch!
The Yun Clan Patriarch's cloudy eyes fell on Xu Sheng and his two companions, and he said with an icy expression, "So it's you three who've been running wild on my Yun Clan's territory?"
Unfazed, Xu Sheng replied, "Yun Clan Leader, don't falsely accuse us. It was your disciples who stopped us!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the previously leading disciple loudly interjected, "You're spouting nonsense! It was you three who were sneaking around here, spying on our Yun Clan! After we discovered you, you even attacked and killed a Yun Family disciple!"
"That's right! Clan Leader, I saw with my own eyes that it was that woman who struck first. We cannot let these three people off lightly; otherwise, our Yun Clan will lose all face!"
"Clan Leader, I beg you to avenge the murdered Mo Family disciples!! We must make this woman pay with her life!"
Hearing the angry words of the Yun Family disciples, the Yun Clan Patriarch's gaze turned to the decapitated body of the Mo Family disciple lying nearby...
His expression instantly darkened to the extreme...
Zhou Qingruo glanced at them with disdain, coldly saying, "It was clearly you who sought your own death!"
Duanmu Lian also angrily retorted, "That's right, had these Mo Family disciples not insisted on stopping us, how would they have lost their lives!"
The Yun Clan Patriarch snickered coldly, speaking in a raspy voice, "So you're saying, it was indeed you who killed my Yun Clan disciples?"
Clutching her personal sword, Zhou Qingruo looked at him coldly and fearlessly retorted, "What if it was?"
Taking a deep breath, the Yun Clan Patriarch said, "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say! Prepare to die!!"
The very next moment, terrifying spiritual power burst forth from his body, charging straight towards Zhou Qingruo...
Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Green Inferno Claw!
In an instant, his palm transformed into a giant claw radiating green light, tearing towards the head of Zhou Qingruo...
Seeing this, Zhou Qingruo's amber-colored beautiful eyes flickered, and she muttered under her breath, "Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Blood Lotus Sword Intent!!"
A scarlet light continuously accumulated from her personal sword, blossoming with a terrifying intent to kill...
A loud "Bang!" as the giant claw and the scarlet personal sword collided, each of them retreating several steps backward...
Full of surprise, the Yun Clan Patriarch exclaimed, "What? So young and already reached the Immortal Monarch Realm?"
He had thought that this woman's cultivation level was at most that of a Golden Immortal Realm, only to find she was not much different from himself!!
No wonder she dared to run wild in front of their Yun Clan!
And those disciples of the Yun Family behind him cried out in shock, saying, "What??? She's actually on par with the Clan Leader? How is this possible!"
"Our Clan Leader has been in the Immortal Monarch Realm for quite some time, his strength is not comparable to those who have just reached the Immortal Monarch Realm! Why is this happening!"
"Damn it! The Clan Leader must not have used his true strength, otherwise how could it come to a stalemate!"
Meanwhile, Zhou Qingruo looked utterly indifferent, after all, this Yun Clan Patriarch's strength was much weaker than she had anticipated!
Given a bit of time, slaying him wouldn't be difficult!
Witnessing this scene, Duanmu Lian spoke out, "Qingruo, let me help you slay this Yun Clan Patriarch!"
As her words fell, her whole being also erupted with the terrifying might of the Immortal Monarch Realm, her gaze coldly fixated on the Yun Clan Patriarch ahead...
Zhou Qingruo didn't refuse her help; with this, the Yun Clan Patriarch could quickly be slain!
Feeling the spirit force fluctuation emanating from Duanmu Lian, the Yun Clan Patriarch cried out in alarm, "Two people are both at the Immortal Monarch Realm!! Could the man in the back also be of the Immortal Monarch Realm??"
Just what kind of monsters had their Yun Clan provoked?
To have reached in their youth, the Immortal Monarch Realm that he had spent his entire life striving for!!
But even so...
His Yun Clan was not one to be trifled with either!!
Turning his head, he shouted to the disciples behind him, "Disciples of the Yun Family, heed my command!! Activate the Clan Protection Formation!!"
Hearing this command, the unmoved Xu Sheng, his dark eyes aflutter with a hint of curiosity...
"Has the real show finally begun?"
