To Be Celestial's Emperor II
The War Begins IV
As for Zhen Yuan, he stared at the living tree while smiling sinisterly. “We will see which technique will win!” Immediately the Lightning Storm which was the sixth strike darted towards the giant tree.
That Lightning Storm attack had the essence of 3 Zhen Yuan techniques, of which two were Mortal techniques and the rest were half Mortal techniques. This was one of the advantages possessed by the Seven Silences Formation where the formation master controlling it could make 7 attacks to their liking and add the essence of the technique if desired.
Soon the thunderstorm struck the living tree belonging to Patriarch Yiqian. The sight of dozens of lightning-shaped dragons immediately striking above the tree caused the tree to start burning by the flames. Not until there, a dark black cloud appeared above the giant tree which then a giant dragon-shaped lightning began to form and hit the giant tree at full speed.
Patriarch Yiqian did not manage to control the tree to run away from the giant lightning and make the tree instantly scorched. However the impact of the attack was not only felt by the giant tree but rather the 3 peak Soul cultivators belonging to the Inner Estuary and the Lightning Sword. All three suffered extremely severe burns and were no longer able to continue the fight.
“Retreat! The attack was dangerous!” The remaining peak Soul cultivators did not stay silent seeing some of their comrades killed. They fled from the frontlines towards the protection of the Yiqian patriarch and the Mortal cultivator.
Zhen Yuan smiled coldly, how could he let go of the opportunity to reduce the strength of the enemy? He quickly deployed the attacks of the Vermilion Bird and the Poisonous Mist.
Vermilion Bird was just like the Silver Tiger before, He gallantly struck a nearby Soul cultivator who was trying to run away. In front of the Vermilion bird, its speed was nothing. He easily caught the cultivator and started torturing him to the point of crumbling into dust.
As for the Poisonous Mist, it had somehow turned into a gigantic hand that caught the 3 cultivators who had previously been severely injured by Lightning Storm. Because they did not have the strength to resist making the Toxic Fog easily enter their bodies and make the three of them melt like ice cubes.
Patriarch Yiqian gritted his teeth furiously, the incident was so fast that he could not give any resistance after his Life Tree was destroyed. “Five Peak Soul cultivators died in vain today!”
The Mortal Elder timidly stood next to Yiqian. He said nothing for fear that Yiqian would blame him.
“Patriark Duchong, you are really hiding like a turtle in a shell! Using dirty tricks to kill some of my subordinates, Hmph! If you dare, come out and fight us directly” Patriarch Yiqian changed his strategy.
Patriarch Yiqian intended to make Duchong provoked. That way he does not have to work hard to destroy the formation because his own enemy will come out to meet them.
“Heh! Don't expect us to be affected by your provocation! If you're afraid then you'd better just go back to your sect and take care of your own business! The Poisonous Insect Sect never gives up and will serve you to death!” Patriarch Duchong replied.
Patriarch Yiqian snorted furiously, before he returned to reply, the Mortal elder from the Zhen family spoke. He seems to be trying to regain Yiqian's heart which was unsuccessful.
“Include, I am one of the mortal elders of the Zhen family! If you give me face today then please give up on Master Yiqian. I will guarantee the Zhen family will try their best to help you!” His speech was so arrogant and haughty, it even sounded a tone of disdain as the mortal elder spoke.
“Huh! I am aware that the Zhen family does indeed possess extraordinary abilities! They could become tyrants and suppress all the weak while on one side they would lick someone who was above them! It was only fitting that the Zhen family became the strongest among the 10 big families” A mocking voice sounded, it was none other than Zhen Yuan. He realized that it was possible that all the members of the extended family, Zhen had such a bad disposition.
“Thank God my Zhen family has separated themselves from the main family. I would be ashamed if I had a family like that!”
The face of the Mortal elder changed when he heard Zhen Yuan's taunt. Even the patriarchs Yiqian and Duchong did not expect Zhen Yuan to be so demeaning to the Zhen family today. Clearly the two were able to tell if there was a problem between Zhen Yuan and the Zhen family.
“I did not choose the wrong ally for this!” thought Patriarch Yiqian. He had previously hesitated a little if the Zhen family would support him in full.
“I don't expect anyone from your sect to be so bold as to say a mockery to the Zhen family. Looks like you and the Poisonous Insects will end soon” Yiqian scoffed at Duchong.
Within the sect, Patriarch Duchong and the others turned their heads towards Zhen Yuan, they wanted an explanation.
