The Way of The Dao

Chapter 864 Another Bigger & Stronger One Appeared! [I]

The head from the first ancestor of the Guiyan family fell to the ground, and a couple of seconds later his own body followed.

A terrified silence spread in the place, with the atmosphere tense and cold as the strongest ancestor with a chance to break through to the next realm was decapitated!

"You are..."

Mu Shen was also surprised when he noticed a figure near him. A fox mask covered his face.

It was this same expert who had saved him earlier!

The man wearing the fox mask looked at Mu Shen, Hu Wenxin and the other women, before returning his gaze to Mu Shen. He casually extended his hand and the storage ring of the decapitated Guiyan ancestor flew into his hand.

"Not bad, I can see that you have experienced a lot..." A soft and youthful voice came from behind the fox mask, "But you're still a bit naive and silly..."

Mu Shen was stunned when he felt the familiarity in the tone of voice, his pupils shrank in surprise as a thought came to his mind.

The man raised his hand to his face and removed the fox mask he wore.

A surprise and shock came over all the members of the Guiyan family and the onlookers as they saw that the face of this expert who had killed the Guiyan ancestor was a very young man!

And moreover, he was a very handsome and gorgeous young man!

"Brother Tian!" Mu Shen exclaimed in surprise and full of joy.

"Great Brother-in-law Ling!" Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling greeted Ling Tian with big smiles.

Ling Tian, who had hidden his face with a mask, smiled slightly at the sight of Mu Shen, Hu Wenxin and the other women.

"It's been a long time, brother Shen." Ling Tian nodded somewhat surprised to see Mu Shen.

Although it had been several months since they had all been separated, Ling Tian could see that Mu Shen's strength had increased along with his fighting experience, reaching the nascent soul late stage from the early stage when they were on the lower plane.

Mu Shen, Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling smiled full of joy and relief at the sight of Ling Tian. The three women regarded Ling Tian almost as a god, with terrifying but divine power, so they were relieved to see Ling Tian here.

Only Qin Xuzi was confused to see what was going on, realizing that they knew Ling Tian. She even couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Ling Tian's face, unable to help but wonder if this extremely handsome man used some kind of immortal rejuvenation technique as she had heard from several women who wanted to maintain their beauty or if he had found some heavenly treasure that kept him young and handsome.

Although Qin Xuzi had no cultivation, she knew a thing or two.

"Brother, how come you are here? Weren't you in the north state with the others?"

Mu Shen asked somewhat confused when he saw Ling Tian, not caring why he hadn't saved him from earlier. The information Hao Zhentian and the others had relayed to them was that Ling Tian and the women had reached the north state, the place they were headed to being the home of Hao Zhentian and the others, as well as Ling Tian's home.

"A lot of things happened..." Ling Tian let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

"H-he's a young guy?"

The young master Guiyan couldn't help but mutter dumbfoundedly before gritting his teeth and feeling filled with hatred and spite, with much envy and jealousy.

A man who was clearly younger than him had a terrifying cultivation capable of killing his family's first ancestor, causing him to have depressing and unhappy thoughts.

"Ancestors! If you two attack together, then you could kill this child!"

Suddenly, the young master Guiyan whispered to the two ancestors who were still shocked as they watched Ling Tian and the ancestor's decapitated body. A trace of fear crossed their eyes, wanting to escape from the place.

The two remaining ancestors looked at each other with some hesitation; although they too were almost at the peak of the body condensation realm, they were not sure if they together could suppress this young man who had reached the separation and reunion realm.

"If you two do not act, then we will die!" The young master Guiyan reasserted his voice, feeling despair, fear, panic and hatred. If the Guiyan family was destroyed, then he would be killed as he had no powerful backing!

"Haven't you thought that if, we do this, the other ancestors of the Abysmal Tower will be able to take advantage of this opportunity?" One of the ancestors commented grimly, hesitating whether to attack or not, "We can still save our strength and prepare better..."

If they succeeded in killing this young man, it was clear that they would not come out unscathed. But if they did, there was a high probability that the Abysmal Tower ancestors would attack the Guiyan family, which would be counterproductive.

"Ancestors, do it!"

Suddenly, the hoarse and weak voice of the patriarch, Guiyan Han, was heard firmly. One of the elders was supporting him with his body.

Guiyan Han glanced darkly at Ling Tian and Mu Shen, having deciphered the relationship of these two seeing that they called each other brothers, and immediately added, "The survival of the Guiyan family depends on this moment, if we don't attack, we will die without being able to breathe another day... but if we manage to suppress this young man for a second, then we will have a chance to live! We might even obtain his cultivation resources and you two could break through to the separation and reunion realm! If you do so, then all of us will act as well! Even if he's a top expert, he'll still be overwhelmed by numbers!"

"The Guiyan family is depending on you two!"

Guiyan Han quickly sent a voice transmission secretly to all the Guiyan family members, were they unharmed or injured.

The survival of the Guiyan family depended on everyone taking action!

"If we manage to suppress this brat for a moment, we might have a chance of killing him!" One of the ancestors said somberly, looking at Ling Tian who paid no attention to them and chatted with Mu Shen as if nothing.

The two ancestors looked at each other and fully understood each other's intentions. In this battle they would have to use all their available cards to kill Ling Tian.

Patriarch Guiyan Han, with his remaining wounded and weak arm, was able to move his fingers a little and activated a plate in his hand, activating an array inside the residence and causing the next moment a barrier to cover the entire place.

Once the Guiyan family members knew that the ancestors would act, they put their doubts aside and prepared to attack Ling Tian. Each fully understood that the survival of the Guiyan family depended on the outcome below.

The spectators, who at the beginning were just a couple of dozen and watched out of curiosity and excitement, at this moment had multiplied to hundreds and thousands of them.

Almost the entire capital was watching the battle taking place!

After all, the Guiyan family was one of the main forces of the capital, being one of the four leaders of the city.

"You have an interesting technique, I don't remember giving you any skill to increase your power in exchange for directly consuming your cultivation base..."

Despite all the tense and frightening atmosphere, Ling Tian still frowned and looked at Mu Shen, remembering the things he had given him and none of them allowed him to increase his strength like he did a few moments ago.

"Eh? Ah, we were exploring some places and happened to get the book from some ruins far away from here." Mu Shen quickly took out the old book from his storage ring and handed it to Ling Tian without hesitation.

Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling listened quietly to Ling Tian and Mu Shen, while Qin Xuzi began to feel somewhat desperate and full of fear when she noticed that all the Guiyan family members began to surround them, directing their auras towards them silently and with a barrier covering the entire sky along with them.

More than 100 people had surrounded them!

Ling Tian took the old book in his hands, realizing that Mu Shen and his wives had encountered some chance encounters apparently. The cultivation bases of all of them proved it as well.

Carefully opening the old book, Ling Tian's spirit sense enveloped him and he began to read it on the spot. His eyebrows rose slightly almost at once, showing that he was somewhat astonished.

"[Cultivation Instantaneous Burst Secret Technique]?"

Ling Tian whispered as he frowned the next moment, his head aching slightly as his knowledge sea trembled slightly.

'Primordial Inner Chi Origin Realm...'

The same previous voice that came with his memories of his past life arose again, stunning Ling Tian as certain information flooded his knowledge sea.

Ling Tian tried to close his eyes, wanting to perceive more of this information coming from his second soul.

"Attack!"

Patriarch Guiyan Han's voice spread out as the next moment a series of combined attacks were directed towards Ling Tian in the blink of an eye. The barrier rippled and a powerful force enveloped Ling Tian, Mu Shen and the women.

The two ancient ancestors of the Guiyan family had appeared above Ling Tian, their impulses surged intensely, burning their cultivation essences and performing secret techniques to increase their strength several times temporarily. Their swords fiercely exploded and fell directly on Ling Tian.

The other members of the Guiyan family cast their skills far away, combining with the two Guiyan family ancestors to suppress Ling Tian. Their auras merged into one and locked up Ling Tian, Mu Shen and the women, no longer caring about their lives. As long as they could kill Ling Tian, then everything would be easier.

Space shook slightly, as if it could not withstand all the auras and skills realized, concentrated in one place.

Ling Tian's brows furrowed much more finally as a trace of annoyance crossed his eyes as he opened them. He slowly turned his head and looked directly at the two ancestors who pointed their swords at him.

Ling Tian's jet black eyes flashed coldly, he raised both arms and in the course deflected with simple touches both swords, finally grabbing the two ancestors by the necks with his hands easily.

The [Sword Domain] spread out in an instant and wiped out all the attacks that were directed towards them, also swallowing the nearby auras and severely wounding all those who had attacked him.

Cultivators up to the Golden Core level died without leaving a single body behind, while the few members with nascent soul realm cultivations suffered great serious injuries leaving them with one foot on the other side of death, with their meridians breaking and becoming crippled, unable to continue fighting or even move.

The two most powerful ancestors of the Guiyan family were held by the neck by both of Ling Tian's hands, unsuccessfully trying to free themselves as terror and fear drove them to madness.
