Screech!
A sword split the sky, shaking heaven and earth.
Whether it was Cao Jing or the other members of the Cao Family, they watched as that beam of light vanished from their view, but the terrifying momentum still rolled in relentlessly.
Terrifying beyond measure, indescribable.
"Childish, naive and ridiculous." Cao Jing sneered repeatedly, "Chen Yang, this is just a personal vendetta between us, yet you think of exterminating my entire clan?"
"As they say, 'Disaster should not involve family,' such a simple truth, and you don't understand? Besides, this is not the secular world, while you overestimate yourself, don't underestimate others."
Cao Jing was confident, unafraid, and unconcerned about this seemingly formidable and astounding sword.
The Cao Royal Clan, after all, was not to be trifled with.
"You want to harm my woman, so I will destroy your entire clan, simple as that," said Chen Yang.
Cao Jing: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This is simply unbeatable!!
Someone wanted to laugh, but couldn't manage to.
Indeed!
Chen Yang, like an event emerging out of nowhere, in less than a month's time, the vast Shisu Town and the entire southern region have been completely stirred by him.
He made countless enemies yet carved a bloody path.
In the Northern Mountain area, thousands of experts were annihilated, and he was the only one who walked out alive.
In this area, where talented disciples are as numerous as carp crossing a river, yet how many can stand on equal footing with Chen Yang?
Biluo Sword Valley?
It was this significant power he destroyed!
In other places it may be uncertain, but in Shisu Town alone, this outsider from the secular world has already made a ferocious reputation.
"Slash."
To Cao Jing's words, Chen Yang paid no mind, merely uttering this single word softly.
In an instant.
Over a certain area of Shisu Town, a large stretch of sky changed color, dark clouds churned, Sword Qi rolled in waves, and torrents of rain flipped and extinguished in midair.
Sword Qi as frost, like river of stars hanging down from the universe, shook the heavens and shone brilliantly, illuminating half of Shisu Town beneath the gloomy sky.
This scene shocked everyone.
But...
Could this sword really shake the entire Cao Royal Clan?
On this day.
Most believed it was merely a Spiritual Artifact.
A few perceptive individuals noticed it was not an ordinary Spiritual Artifact but a Super Spiritual Instrument invading Shisu Town!
West Suburb of Shisu Town.
Cao Family Ancestral Mansion.
Amidst pouring rain, this vast mansion stood like an ancient and massive beast crouching on the ground.
In a pavilion at that moment, an elderly man, not particularly tall, dressed in a black long gown with neatly combed, mottled hair, stood before a birdcage, teasing a pair of thrushes.
Beside him was a stove, from which white steam billowed, the fragrant aroma of wine filling the air.
The old man wore a look of contentment, at ease and self-satisfied.
Whoosh!
The man was none other than the previous Family Head of the Cao Family. Although past seventy, he was clear-headed and alert. Just as he was lifting the wine flask to pour himself a cup, the pavilion suddenly shook.
The next moment, the entire Cao Family trembled.
In an instant, countless members of the Cao Family inside the mansion turned pale with fright, many collapsing to the ground, trembling.
"This..."
The overwhelming Sword Qi descending from the sky made the elder, called Cao Guang, narrow his eyes, his expression suddenly changing.
Swish.
Cao Guang's figure flickered, and after leaving the pavilion, he soared into the sky, both hands clasped behind him, finally standing on the rooftop, a ray of sword light striking his eyes.
Have you ever seen a sword technique that descends from the heavens?
"Humph!"
Cao Guang coldly harrumphed, his face becoming chilling. His Cao Royal Clan was among the top powers in Shisu Town, and no one had dared oppose them.
It's just that lately, first Cao Cong was crippled, and today Cao Jing went out to capture Gu Zhiqing alive.
So, if that sword was from anyone, it could only be from Chen Yang, who had a deep connection with Gu Zhiqing.
"A mere youngling dares to cause trouble in my Cao Royal Clan, thinking I, Cao Guang, am easy prey?"
With a loud shout, the hair and beard of the old Family Head stood on end, like an enraged old lion.
A sword.
It was like a blazing sun, falling from the sky, suppressing the entire Cao Family mansion, which trembled precariously, leaving countless people in silent fear.
"A thing without self-awareness, I shall suppress you with one hand."
Cao Guang scoffed, disdainful. His opponent was merely a young man; without even revealing himself, he audaciously tries to crush the entire Cao Royal Clan from a distance?
"Do you, Chen Yang, think too highly of yourself? One sword from afar, and you intend to annihilate my entire clan?"
Boom!
Cao Guang straightened his back, arms lifted to meet the Ancestor Sword that came hurtling from high above.
Thunderous booms, like morning bells and evening drums, rippled out.
Cao Guang's hands clasped together, managing to stop the colossal force encased by the Ancestor Sword with just his bare hands, the vast Sword Qi trembled and dispersed chaotically, while colorful sparks burst like the clanging of metal.
"Is this it? Hm?!"
Cao Guang dismissed it with contempt, even lifting his hands loftily, indifferent as the wind. What mattered a Spiritual Artifact if its wielder was weak, how much strength could it unleash?
Countless Cao Family disciples who rushed upon hearing the news stared raptly at this peerless scene.
Simultaneously, fearing and in awe, they swept away previous panic and dread, each began cheering excitedly.
Screech!!
Suddenly, a radiance erupted from the Ancestor Sword.
In fact, the transformation stemmed from that single word "slash" uttered by Chen Yang.
Cao Guang, who had easily lifted the Ancestor Sword, suddenly changed his expression drastically as an immense force like a roaring tidal wave struck, shattering the rooftop beneath his feet immediately.
He recoiled repeatedly, eventually falling headlong from the roof.
Bam.
The exquisite floor cracked instantly, fissures spreading underneath, causing one magnificent courtyard after another to collapse into a heap of ruins.
Amidst the sweeping wind and rain, dark dust rose, obscuring the sky.
On the other side.
The Ancestor Sword, clasped by Cao Guang's hands, advanced uncontrollably, and in just a second, six inches of the blade's tip had protruded.
"What?!"
Cao Guang's pupils narrowed, as if witnessing the most terrifying sight.
As Cao Guang took a step back to advance, the ground beneath him rotted extensively, but rather than mitigating the might of the Ancestor Sword, the entire blade slipped from his grasp entirely.
"Pfft!"
The sword light pierced like a meteor, directly penetrating Cao Guang's chest, piercing entirely through him.
Tap, tap, tap.
Cao Guang staggered back several steps, each step echoing like thunder.
The entire Cao Family mansion felt like the center of a hurricane; stone slabs, brick walls, everything was engulfed and obliterated.
Utterly demolishing, nothing could withstand it.
"Invincible at the same level? This, this is a monster! Moreover, this isn't an ordinary Spiritual Artifact but a Super Spiritual Instrument, I, damn it..."
Cling!
The Ancestor Sword pierced the ground.
The preeminent figure of Shisu Town was utterly ended on this rainy day.
Amid the howling wind and rain.
The once landmark structure of Shisu Town, the Cao Family Ancestral Mansion, was completely destroyed by a single sword, leaving only ruin and desolation.
In a tavern within Shisu Town.
Chen Changsheng held a wine glass in one hand, his brows knit tightly.
He truly hadn't expected that people from the Dao Sect would get involved and openly intercept Chen Yang.
The old sweeper stood beside him, silent for a long while.
If they acted this time, their identities were likely to be exposed.
A moment later.
Amidst the sound of disordered footsteps, a disciple responsible for delivering messages entered the room, emotionally agitated: "Sect Master, Chen Yang hasn't yet fought Li Yuanshan, but he's already toppled the Cao Royal Clan."
"What do you mean by 'toppled'?" The old sweeper was first taken aback, then instinctively asked after exchanging a glance with Chen Changsheng.
The disciple couldn't contain his excitement: "Senior brother issued a single sword strike, and the entire Cao Royal Clan was reduced to rubble."
"The Cao Royal Clan is destroyed."
Chen Changsheng: "..."
The old sweeper: "..."
They were still worried that Chen Yang wouldn't fare well against Li Yuanshan, yet this kid had the leisure to take down an entire royal clan in the meantime?
Incredible!
"..."
