Fall of a Clan

Zhu Mountain, 12pm Midnight

A man was meditating in a cave, trying to replenish the qi he had lost. He got up and looked outside the cave entrance. It was a beautiful night as always, but this time, something felt off. The man was Zhu Yong, a Supreme Cultivator.He furrowed his brows,'This is bad, Some strong individuals have crossed the barrier. They must have noticed that my qi is low. This is bad! But I guess I can restore my qi until Li, Buqu and the remaining elders are here.' Zhu Yong's expression sank when he detected multiple people entering the vicinity of The Zhu Clan. He knew who they were but couldn't be sure.

In a mansion nearby the Zhu Mountain, a tall sturdy man sat on a throne. "So, it seems that we have some intruders. They must have be observing us and as soon as Ancestor Yong's qi had depleted immensely, they attacked. But if they think that they can get away unscathed, they are wrong!Hahaahahaa, I will kill every single one of them. This has to be done or else, my clan will be history!" The man said with a serious expression.

The man was Zhu Buqu, The leader of Zhu Clan and the second strongest member of the Zhu Clan only under Saint Yong. Zhu Buqu's name is as famous as Saint Yong's. He was a Saint stage of 7th layer. His strength was only lower to Saint Yong Who is a Supreme stage. The gap is 1 layer but the difference in strength is huge. If a person of 7th saint stage goes against a person of 1st Supreme stage, The Saint stage would lose in one attack.

Zhu Buqu was known for his mentality. If he fought, it was till the death. This was the reason why his name was spread across the whole country. He had only lost to one person in a fair fight and that person was the current King of Dragon Empire, Wang Tiantang. Due to the loss, He was ready to kill himself but before he could kill himself, The king stopped him. Zhu Buqu then scarred his own chest with a sword to remember the loss. This was a man who would never back away from a fight. As many intruders came inside the Zhu Clan, he was thrilled to fight.

He flew to the top of the mansion, "Intruders, come out! If you want to fight then come to me, leave the disciples alone!" Zhu Buqu's Voice could be heard all over the capital. It was filled with might and was almost deafening. The purpose of yelling this loud was to not only let the intruders know that they have been detected but also to aware the Elders and Disciple about the intruders.

"Hehe, I guess the patriarch would notice us entering the Qi barrier. That would also mean your ancestor has noticed us, but he hasn't come yet. This further proves it, he must be replenishing his qi right now. But it's too late! By now he is probably dead including his son Zhu Li! Ahahahah" A vile sounding voice rang in the Zhu Clan estate.

"So, my guess was right. It is the Duan clan that tries to attack us, your clan was always the stupid one. Duan Mogu, you, being the Ancestor of the Duan clan and the strongest person in the Duan Clan, are only 7th layer Saint Stage! I would laugh at the fact that you could kill me.The elders of your clan all are under the 7th layer of Saint stage, how do you possibly think that your clan will kill Saint Yong Brother Li and all the remaining elders?" A smile crept on Duan Mogu's face as he heard Zhu Buqu's words.

Seeing Duan Mogu's smile, Zhu Buqu's felt suspicious. 'Something isn't right. He is too confident. But this doesn't matter to me, I just have to kill him!" Zhu Buqu's face transitioned from suspicious to confident. "I see, trying to provoke me, eh? Lets just fight!" He said with a confident smile.

As soon as he said that, horror was drawn on Zhu Buqu's face."Hehe, can you see it? I have the powers of a devil now. You cannot defeat me!" Duan Mogu said as he attacked Zhu Buqu.

"Ancient Fortress!" Zhu Buqu yelled as a force field made of qi surrounded him. Zhu Buqu blocked Duan Mogo's attack but as a result, he coughed blood. His vital organs shook as he received Duan Mogu's attack. In extreme pain, Zhu Buqu used nearly all of his strength to summon a sword. The sword looked holy. It was surrounded with a majestic qi.

Using his remaining might, Zhu Buqu countered Duan Mogu by slashing the sword towards his neck aiming to cut it off in one fell swoop. But he had missed. Duan Mogu had dissipated into thin air.

"You used all your might just to scratch the surface of my neck. Disappointing!" Duan Mugu who was over a hundred meters away from Zhu Buqu started laughing. "It seems like it's time to end this! hahaha! Get ready to face my next att.."

Silence.

A head fell on the ground and the body followed.

Zhu Buqu's head fell on the ground. His face was filled with fear. His body was bloody. It was over before he even knew it.

"Lin Ha, How could you steal my fun!? I was going to kill him!" Duan Buqu yelled at a figure in the sky." Why waste time on a weakling like him. All the elders and disciples have been dealt with but Zhu Li has escaped even so, that wont be a problem since i had poisoned him with my blade, he will probably die in a few minutes so that isn't a problem. Lets leave or else, the King's men will come. That would lead to a problem. We aren't strong enough right now to deal with the Royal Family!" Said the figure as he flew away from the Zhu estate. Looking at the Blood filled Zhu Clan Estate, Duan Buqu Laughed madly and followed the figure.

This night would be written in history as the Mighty Zhu Family known across the Dragon Empire had fallen.
