Chapter 170: Chapter 163: Li Chang’an Kills a Foundation Establishment Cultivator

At his current Tier Two strength, the speed at which he could use the Water Escape Technique far surpassed Li Chang’an’s Little Five Elements Escape Technique.

…

「The next day, just as the sky began to brighten.」

Li Chang’an arrived atop a high mountain.

Before him was a canyon that stretched for dozens of miles.

The Wu Clan Territory, home to a Foundation Establishment family, was located within this canyon.

From a distance, the canyon was filled with houses and buildings packed together in an orderly, dense fashion.

The entire canyon and its surrounding area had effectively become a small kingdom ruled by the Wu Family.

’Zheng Qingqing should be making her move soon.’

Li Chang’an thought to himself, lying prone on the mountain as he waited patiently.

About half an hour later, a world-shaking boom suddenly erupted from the canyon.

BOOM!

Heaven and earth shook as if struck by thunder!

Even the high mountain where Li Chang’an was located trembled from the force.

’They’ve made their move!’

Li Chang’an’s expression grew tense as he stared fixedly at the canyon.

After the explosion, a cyan-gold Grand Array slowly rose, attempting to shield the entire Wu Clan Territory.

However, in the very next instant, the Grand Array faltered, its ascent halting as if it had frozen in place.

Then, a fiery red figure appeared.

It was Zheng Qingqing!

She wore a long, fiery red dress, her long hair whipping about as Fire Element Power surged around her. Her entire being seemed to be wreathed in roaring flames!

With a wave of her hand, in an instant, countless blazing fireballs materialized under the sky. Like a meteor shower of fire, they rained down one after another into the Wu Clan Territory, carrying an unstoppable, destructive force.

RUMBLE!

The earth quaked violently as flames soared into the sky!

Wails and screams of agony instantly filled the entire Wu Clan.

This was a true war of annihilation!

Man or woman, young or old, Cultivator or mortal—in this battle, all were enemies.

There was no need for mercy!

“Zheng Qingqing!”

A furious roar echoed from deep within the Wu Clan Territory.

“Do you not fear divine retribution for such a massacre?”

The Wu Family Ancestor, Wu Lianshan, appeared. His face was contorted with rage, his eyes seeming to spew fire as he stared daggers at Zheng Qingqing.

Zheng Qingqing’s expression was glacial. She didn’t answer, merely posing a question in return.

“If my Zheng Clan Territory had been breached, what would you have done?”

Hearing this, Wu Lianshan froze.

If he had been the one to breach the Zheng Clan Territory, his actions would have been even more ruthless than Zheng Qingqing’s.

Things had come to this; more words were useless.

There was only one path left: to fight!

“Die!”

Wu Lianshan roared, his Magical Power surging as he summoned two Spiritual Artifacts and charged at Zheng Qingqing.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already clashed several times.

Zheng Qingqing was clearly a bit weaker. After all, she had only recently reached Foundation Establishment and couldn’t compare to an old fossil like Wu Lianshan, who had lingered in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment for a long time.

But she possessed numerous Treasures, and her Magical Combat style was sharp and incisive.

Although Wu Lianshan was strong, he couldn’t do anything to her.

Furthermore, their battlefield was right within the Wu Clan Territory.

As they fought, the entire territory was reduced to ruins, and an unknown number of Wu Clan disciples died in the aftershocks of the battle between the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“Damn it!”

Wu Lianshan’s face was ashen.

He tried several times to move the battle outside the clan territory, but every attempt ended in failure.

Atop the distant mountain, Li Chang’an held his breath, concealing his aura so perfectly that he was like a stone, quietly watching the great battle unfold.

’If they keep fighting like this, it’s hard to say who will win, but the Wu Clan Members are guaranteed to suffer heavy casualties.’

’Strange, why haven’t the other two Zheng Family ancestors appeared?’

’Could it be… that this battle is purely Zheng Qingqing’s own idea?’

Just as he was thinking this, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

A scorching flash of fire appeared out of thin air, instantly slamming into Wu Lianshan’s back.

PTHOO—!

Wu Lianshan’s face went pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was clearly seriously injured!

Behind him, another Zheng Family ancestor had appeared. His name was Zheng Feihong, the one who usually guarded the Zheng Clan Territory.

His face was filled with killing intent as he wielded a long spear wreathed in crimson flames, relentlessly pressing his attack against Wu Lianshan.

“Wu the Ghost, die!”

In an instant, the heavily injured Wu Lianshan found himself besieged by the two Foundation Establishment experts from the Zheng Family.

His face was deathly pale. He desperately tried to fend off their attacks, his aura already in disarray.

But he was still holding on, showing no signs of fleeing.

At that moment, Zheng Feihong sneered.

“Wu the Ghost, are you still waiting for Cao Zhengxiong to come and help you?”

Hearing this, the color drained from Wu Lianshan’s face once more.

The battle had raged on this long, yet neither Zheng Yuandao nor Cao Zhengxiong had appeared. It was obvious they were facing off somewhere else.

In other words, Cao Zhengxiong couldn’t save him. He could only save himself!

On the distant mountain, Li Chang’an took in the entire situation.

’Just as I thought. Zheng Yuandao is holding back Cao Zhengxiong, while Zheng Qingqing and Zheng Feihong handle the kill on Wu Lianshan.’

From start to finish, the battle had not deviated from his predictions.

But it had deviated somewhat from Zheng Qingqing and Zheng Feihong’s expectations.

The reason was simple: Wu Lianshan was just too damn tough!

Originally, in their plan, the ambush strike that Zheng Feihong had charged up while in hiding should have been enough to pierce right through Wu Lianshan’s body.

Instead, it had only managed to wound him!

“Tier Two Body Refinement!”

A solemn expression appeared on Zheng Qingqing’s pretty face.

Wu Lianshan had hidden his true strength far better than they’d imagined. He had somehow achieved Tier Two Body Refinement without anyone knowing and had never once revealed it.

This was clearly his trump card.

If not for today’s sudden assault, he might have taken this trump card with him to the grave.

“So what if he has Tier Two Body Refinement? Qingqing, if we work together, we can definitely kill him!”

Zheng Feihong, his heart filled with murderous intent, brandished the flaming spear in his hands.

Within the canyon, the three Foundation Establishment experts were locked in a chaotic battle.

Terrifying Foundation Establishment Power swept in all directions, leaving the entire Wu Clan Territory a scene of utter devastation.

Although Wu Lianshan had achieved Tier Two Body Refinement, he couldn’t withstand the continuous bombardment from two Foundation Establishment experts.
