Awakened forcefully by some top level pellet, Liu Rufeng was as proud as a peacock and unrestrained. As soon as he had started, he killed the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family. However, Liu Rufeng was smashed to death by another man with ease, another man that was a powerful warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm!
The strongest Family in the Wu Ling County was the Liu Family, and the most powerful man was Liu Rufeng. Therefore, the identity of the Fate Wheel Realm powerhouse was obvious—either he was Lord Yu himself, or the black-armored powerful warrior by his side.
It was a delight for Zhao Gui and his gang. Looking at the seven-colored Fate Wheel like a mystical plate hanging in mid-air, Zhao Gui was certain that after tonight, the Wu Ling County would have its ruler changed to the Zhao Family.
“Family Patriarch!”
Many disciples of the immediate Liu Family cried out as despair filled their eyes. Their last hope had been dashed. Extermination of an entire Liu Family could not be avoided after tonight.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Chief Patriarch was very advanced in ages and he was hunchbacked. Yet as of this moment, he stood up straight, leaned back and laughed. One could detect the anguish and anger in his laughter. He pointed to a corner in the south gate and said, “A dignified Fifth-rank Family, the Yu Family, is attacking us, a weak Third-rank Family? Yu Feijia, you rank No. 47 on the Northern Desert Warlord List. Now you are bullying a weak Third-rank Family. Are you not afraid that the powerhouses of the Northern Desert are going to make fun of you? That the entire world is going to hold you to ridicule?”
“Whoosh!”
What answered him was a seven-colored Fate Wheel morphing into a light and smashing at him. It was even times faster than Liu Rufeng’s speed. Chief Patriarch could not avoid it. He had to lift up his saber and fight back.
“Bang!”
Chief Patriarch was knocked off and badly mutilated. The high rank Xuan Artifact of his was smacked away as well. However, the seven-colored Fate Wheel did not even have a dent on it.
Another man had died!
All people were as mute as a fish. The rest Patriarchs of the Liu Family had given up all hopes. The seven-colored Fate Wheel flew back to the corner in a glimpse. It vanished into the abdomen of the black-armored warrior, Yu Hen, like a shadow.
Yu Hen took no more look of the battle and ran back to the Zhao Family Compound like a streak of black light.
His mission was accomplished. Liu Rufeng and Chief Patriarch were dead. If Zhao Gui still could not win, then this kind of loser wouldn’t be worth the help of the Yu Family.
“Lord Yu Hen, thank you!”
Even though Zhao Gui did not see Yu Hen, he knew it was him. Zhao Gui bowed and paid his respect. Then he swung his long saber and bellowed, “Kill them all. Leave no Liu Family member alive!”
Right at that moment!
The Liu Family reinforcement, the brown-haired elder at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm suddenly ran toward the east gate. The only thing left behind was, “Sorry, it’s not like I don’t want to follow the code of brotherhood. Even if I risk my life, there is no way we can turn this around tonight.”
Looking at the view of the brown-haired elder’s back, Second Patriarch sneered. However, in the next moment, his eyes reddened. He shouted, “All of you, the Liu Family members, we are not going to live anyways. We might just as well risk our lives. We kill one, we break even. We kill two and then we can bring an extra one with us!”
“Kill—”
All the Patriarchs, deacons, and disciples of the Liu Family Internal Clan yelled, but some of the External Clan Patriarchs and deacons chickened. They were not the disciples of the Liu Family, and they still had the chance to flee. The four Families would not kill them all.
“You are at your last grasp!”
Zhao Gui sneered. When he was about to dash towards Second Patriarch, a Zhao Family External Clan Patriarch suddenly walked over and whispered to Zhao Gui, “Family Patriarch, Patriarch Qing is dead!”
“What?”
Chill glowed in Zhao Gui’s eyes. He looked at a broken jade talisman in the man’s hand and instantly, Zhao Gui turned hostile.
There were many such jade talismans in the External Clan Patriarch’s hands. These jade talismans were called the Jade Talismans of Life. It was built with a strand of a warrior’s soul in it. If the jade token was broken, then that warrior was dead.
Lu Ling also had a Jade Talismans of Life with her, the Life Jade Token of Lu Renhuang. This one was intact as of this moment, which was why Lu Ling could be sure that Lu Renhuang was alive.
There were many such Jade Talismans of Life in this External Clan Patriarch’s hand. He had collected them all before the war started. The aim was clear—to have a grasp of the entire picture and to be informed of the fighting situation at the east, west and north gates.
Tonight, many had lost their lives. Many jade talismans were broken. Actually, if just an average patriarch was dead, this man did not even need to inform Zhao Gui. However… this one was special. This time, it was Patriarch Qing who was trying to rescue Zhao Rui that was dead.
Zhao Rui just used an emergency signal detonator, so Zhao Gui had sent Patriarch Qing to help Zhao Rui out. However, Patriarch Qing was no longer alive? Didn’t it mean that Zhao Rui was in peril? Therefore, the External Clan Patriarch hurried to tell Zhao Gui.
Zhao Gui was conflicted inside. This moment was a good time for the great forces to swiftly and easily extirpate the rest of the powerful warriors of the Liu Family. He was the commander in chief. If he were to get away from the main battlefield, he could not take control of the whole picture.
However…
Zhao Rui was his favorite son. Granted, the son was not short of flaws, but his natural gift was recognized in the entire Wu Ling County. Zhao Gui had been training Zhao Rui as his successor.
“Lao Chen, Lao He, I’ll leave all this to you. I have to go check at the west yard.”
Finally, Zhao Gui made up his mind. He handed the battlefield over to the Family Patriarchs of the Chen and He Family and then ran toward the west yard.
Patriarch Qing was at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Since there was someone that could kill Patriarch Qing, then it would be useless to send another man at the Spirit Sea Realm. For the sake of Zhao Rui’s safety, Zhao Gui had to take the matter into his own hands now.
For the Liu Family, only one warrior of the Soul Pond Realm was left, the Second Patriarch. Ever since Yu Hen made his move, the Liu Family warriors had been feeling insecure. Many External Clan Patriarchs clearly were intending to run away. So, whether the Second Patriarch was here or not, the table could not be turned. The Wu Ling County was going to fall into the hands of the Zhao Family eventually.
“Eh?”
Family Patriarchs of the Chen and He Family, together with some warriors of the four families were confused. So did many people of the Liu Family. What was Zhao Gui doing to the west yard? Could it be that something unusual happened over there?
“What?”
The four young girls on board the Iron-armored Ship, Zi Lian, and Ye Yuhan were curious as well.
They thought that the show was over tonight and that what was going to happen next was just some boring slaughter. Little did they expect that new problems would crop up unexpectedly.
The commander in chief had suddenly left the main battlefield. Could it be that there were other powerful warriors at the west yard?
People looked over to the west yard and found a quite intriguing scene: Lu Li was dragging Zhao Rui with a broken leg and running toward the west yard. Zhao Rui almost passed out from the pain. However, his pain was not something for Lu Li to worry about. He dragged one of Zhao Rui’s leg and carried his Heaven Kylin Sword in his hands, running in strides towards the Guest Clan.
Zhao Gui was so much faster than Patriarch Qing. He kicked back lightly with one leg on a stone fort and swept towards the west gate in a shadow. His vision was more acute than a warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm. Soon, he saw Zhao Rui that was dragged on the ground in the distance. He also noticed that Zhao Rui only had one leg left.
Zhao Gui trembled and shouted in rage, “Rui? Ah… Bastard, I will hack you into pieces!”
“The young man is going to die.”
On the Golden Chariot, the yellow-dressed Ye Yuhan whispered and looked at Zi Lian, and said to her in a mocking tone, “Zi Lian, I thought you know this young man. Why don’t you help him?”
Zi Lian shook her head and replied, “Yu Feijia is clearly trying to help the Zhao Family. Why would I want to offend him for no reason at all?”
The several golden-armored powerful warriors next to Zi Lian nodded in agreement. They understood it perfectly well that it was not that Zi Lian was afraid of offending Yu Feijia, it was… Lu Li was not worth it.
