Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1181: Chapter 788: Martial Arts Strength

The night grew darker, and a faint mist rose over Lingxi Mountain, the crescent moon’s clear glow casting a hazy aura around the mountain.

In the dim mountain path, more than ten men in simple hemp clothing silently advanced toward Lingxi Mountain.

"Is this Lingxi Mountain?" Wu Dashan asked as he gazed at the vague outline of the mountain.

Zhou Yuntao nodded slightly, "Yes, this is Lingxi Mountain. Look over there, the Red Flame Army soldiers are on guard!"

They hadn’t known Lu Jianghua was at Lingxi Mountain, so they went to Nanqing Mountain, only to find it emptily quiet.

Then they captured a few people from a nearby village and, after some questioning, learned that Lu Jianghua and the Red Flame Army had gone to Lingxi Mountain three days earlier.

Thus, they came to Lingxi Mountain at this time.

"Looks like we found the right place! Haha~~" Wu Dashan laughed coldly.

"There’s a Heavenly Gang stage martial artist from the Lingxi Yang Family. Do you want to handle him or should I?" Zhou Yuntao asked.

"Just an old fool who can’t see the situation clearly. I’ll send him to his grave!" Wu Dashan’s eyes flashed with ferocity.

Isn’t it just not seeing the situation clearly?

Even at this point, they dare to harbor Lu Jianghua. Aren’t they courting death?

Zhou Yuntao nodded and said to his subordinates behind him, "Very well, I’ll search for Lu Jianghua, and you take out the Red Flame Army!"

Although there were only a dozen of them, all were Innate Martial Artists.

The Red Flame Army had seven to eight hundred soldiers, but their Innate Martial Artists had been killed or wounded in previous battles, so the remaining Red Flame Army was no threat at all.

The two conferred briefly and then led their men toward Lingxi Mountain.

On Lingxi Mountain, Yang Zhenshan, who was pretending to sleep, felt his heart spirit stir and slowly opened his eyes.

"They’ve arrived!"

"Two at the Heavenly Gang stage, four at the Earth Evil stage, six at the Qi Sea stage! They’re not weak!"

It is difficult for Innate Martial Artists to see through someone’s cultivation; they can only estimate based on someone’s aura, but if the opponent conceals their aura, they can only judge by observing appearance.

Cultivating immortality is different; Immortal Cultivators have Spiritual Sense, which senses aura more finely, and the sensed aura is the qi within, the True Qi and True Yuan of the Dantian Qi Sea.

Hence, Yang Zhenshan can easily discern the cultivation level of Innate Martial Artists.

Standing up slowly, Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, and a dark green spear appeared.

"Family Head!"

Wang Lei’s expression turned stern upon seeing him take out the spear and called out.

"Enemies are coming, go protect Lu Jianghua!" Yang Zhenshan instructed.

"Understood!" Wang Lei replied promptly and quickly headed toward the courtyard where Lu Jianghua lived.

Yang Zhenshan, unhurriedly, walked toward the pavilions, and as he arrived, two figures flew toward him under the cover of night.

These two were naturally Zhou Yuntao and Wu Dashan; one was to deal with Yang Zhenshan, and the other to search for Lu Jianghua, thus headed straight for the Yang Family’s ancestral land atop the mountain.

Standing under the pavilion, Yang Zhenshan calmly watched the two approaching.

"Hmm~"

Zhou Yuntao and Wu Dashan also saw him and were slightly surprised.

"You must be Yang Zhenshan!" Wu Dashan arrogantly inquired.

"Indeed, that is I. Who are you?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

Wu Dashan and Zhou Yuntao exchanged glances, Zhou Yuntao nodded slightly, Wu Dashan laughed and said, "I’m the one who will kill you!"

They would not reveal their identities; they were dressed in black and masked to conceal their identities.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Dashan charged at Yang Zhenshan with his blade, fiery sword energy erupted like a flame dragon, aiming to swallow Yang Zhenshan whole.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he lunged forward with his spear, its shaft gleaming with blue light and its tip like a shooting star aiming at Wu Dashan.

He did not intend to use Immortal Cultivator techniques against two Heavenly Gang stage martial artists; mere martial artist methods sufficed.

Seeing Yang Zhenshan approaching, Wu Dashan’s face twisted into a sinister smile.

In his eyes, Yang Zhenshan was merely a small family’s martial artist, and although he was a Loose Cultivator, he believed his cultivation placed him among the top of Heavenly Gang stage martial artists.

But his smile soon froze.

As they were about to collide, Yang Zhenshan’s spear suddenly thrust forward, its tip flashing with a streak of blue lightning.

In an instant, the lightning pierced through the fiery sword thick with flames, reaching Wu Dashan’s eyes.

Seeing the sudden blue lightning, Wu Dashan’s pupils contracted sharply; in panic, he tried to withdraw his blade and dodge.

Unfortunately, his reaction was too slow, or rather, Yang Zhenshan’s spear was too fast.

The spear point struck like thunder, arriving instantly; Wu Dashan’s mind reacted instinctively, but his body couldn’t follow.

The spear like a venomous snake darted into Wu Dashan’s throat, its blue tip emerging from the back of his neck, a crimson mist enveloping Wu Dashan’s head.

The entire sequence lasted only a moment, like merely a glance; as Zhou Yuntao circulated True Yuan, intending to rush into the Yang Family’s ancestral grounds to search for Lu Jianghua, in three strides Wu Dashan’s throat was pierced by Yang Zhenshan’s spear.
