The Li family, a party of over twenty, all wore expressions of heavy seriousness and utmost solemnity.
"The Shi family... has entered the Literacy Paradise!"
A chill rose in the heart of Li Songās son, Li Zhengao.
Their greatest reliance in facing the threat of the Shi family was this Literacy Paradise, yet a group of martial artists under the lead of Shi Bupo had intruded this haven. They understood all too well what this meant.
Their Li family would face the calamity of clan extermination!
With nowhere to flee, Li Song and the others could only deploy all able-bodied martial artists in the clan to fight.
Now the entire Li family only numbered in the dozens. Excluding the old, sick, and disabled, those capable of fighting were about twenty, while the Shi family had nearly fifty people, each an elite possessing bloodline powers. Not to mention the presence of Shi Bupo whom they considered an unbeatable being, the disparity was simply too vast!
"Hahaha! Head of Li Family, we meet again! You donāt seem to be in good spirits. Donāt tell me youāre not welcoming us?"
Laughter boomed; from the ink-colored river in the distance, a line of dozens swept in, trampling and shattering the flowers and grass beneath their feet, leading them was Shi Bupo!
The Li family members were both shocked and furious, it was these people before them who forced them to take refuge here, and now, unwilling to let them go, theyād invaded this sanctuary, intent on completely annihilating them!
Li Song managed a strained smile and clasped his hands in greeting, "Family Head Shi... why must you oppress us so relentlessly? We of the Li family have never offended you, nor have we harbored the slightest thought of revenge. We only wish to live our lives peacefully, too much killing... does harm to the heavensā virtue!"
Although furious inside, Li Song could only speak in a humbled tone, hoping that the other party would spare their Li family, otherwise today may very well be the day their family bloodline ceased to exist.
Seeing the eyes of everyone filled with anger and fear, Shi Bupo couldnāt help but laugh loudly, "I always see my affairs through to the end until the goal is reached. Now that I have acted and spent so much time and effort, how could I possibly stop? Head of Li Family, donāt be so naive, all you can do now is struggle and resist with all your might!
I donāt appreciate challenges without the slightest difficulty!"
"Strike!"
The Li family members also knew all too well, since the enemy had come, they would not spare them. All they could do now was to fight with all their might, seeking that slim chance of survival!
"Boom thunderous roar!"
Li elders like Li Xue and Li Mo didnāt hesitate to unroll the scrolls they had prepared, activating their bloodline divine skills. In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, and fierce birds and beasts burst forth, charging at the line of Shi family warriors.
"Come on!"
The Shi family warriors were not afraid; a great number of them activated their bloodline powers, transforming into colossal stone giants.
"Crackle and pop!"
Thunderbolts that struck them only made their bodies tremble slightly, and even the Hurricane Sharp Blade couldnāt leave a single wound!
"Black Dragon!"
Li Song took out a painting scroll that depicted a vivid Black Dragon. He spit out a mouthful of fresh blood onto it and used his blood-stained fingertip to dab on the eyes of the dragon.
"Ao!"
Amidst a crisp, lofty dragonās roar, a black Divine Dragon burst out from the painting, with Dragon Horns, Dragon Head, and Dragon Claws. Its dark scales were dense, exuding a majestic aura far and wide. It was more than thirty feet long, as if it could call upon the winds and summon the rains, it pounced towards the Shi family martial artists with bared teeth and claws!
Even the elite warriors of the Shi family couldnāt help but feel intimidated by its majestic presence, shocked to their cores.
"A dragon? Against a phoenix, Iāll behead the phoenix; against a dragon, Iāll slay the dragon!"
As for Shi Bupo, he snorted coldly. Taking a step forward, his black hair wildly danced in the air, and a punchās force, as heavy as a flying Mount Tai, gathered and compressed the air in front of him until it solidified and then burst!
"Ao!"
With a punch that could even slay the Real Dragon Divine Phoenix, a pitiful dragon roar sounded, and the Black Dragon shattered inch by inch under Shi Bupoās terrifying punch, exploding into vast swathes of ink-scented liquid splattered everywhere.
"The gap... is too great..."
Li Songās face turned pale. As the Head of Li Family, he stood out among the short, but compared to Shi Bupo, who grew up in the secret realm of Stubborn Stone Mountain from childhood, the difference was truly too great. There was no chance of success in a head-on confrontation!
"Capture them alive! Just break their skeleton, hands, and feet!"
Shi Bupo bellowed, easily intimidating the ashen-faced Li family members.
These Li family members needed to be firstly drained of their bloodline before being killed, only then could the gains be maximized, they had to be taken alive!
"The Li family... is finished..." Many young members of the Li family watched as the Shi family warriors, each ferocious and terrifying like devils, shook uncontrollably, with their fighting spirit nearly collapsingāthis was an enemy too powerful for them to handle!
"Such beautiful mountains and rivers, a true haven, how did it come to be invaded by a bunch of trash?"
At that moment, a detached voice floated from afar, causing everyone to look up.
In the sky, a man with his hands behind his back flew across, as if gliding through the air.
Looking closely, he wasnāt flying, but rather his feet were on an ink-like swallow. The swallow flapped its wings and soared, seemingly oblivious to the person on its back, and Su Changkongās body was lighter than a leaf!
This display of Qinggong was enough to shock the world and horrify the public!
"Itās him!" The Shi family members all revealed a trace of wariness and frostiness in their eyes.
"Mr. Su!"
Li Song and the others felt a slight surge of joy in their hearts, for the man riding the bird was none other than Su Changkong, who was visiting their Li family!
Whoosh!
Su Changkong lightly leaped off the birdās back, his body descending gently like a falling leaf, and landed softly on the grassland below.
