Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

He was just thinking about wiping them out, and now those fools who didn’t know what was good for them had come knocking on his door themselves—excellent!

That being the case.

It actually saved him quite a bit of effort.

"Boom!"

He pinched a Technique with both hands.

Strands of Mana shot into the Array Platform.

The Array Platform trembled slightly.

Right after.

Rumble rumble.

A terrifying pressure rose from within the Array.

In an instant.

The clouds and mist rolled.

The Array actually condensed a Tier Three Late-Stage Iron-Armed Ape:

"Roar!"

The Iron-Armed Ape threw back its head and roared in fury, its fists swinging, blasting toward the three revealed figures of Yaoyao and the others like lightning.

Before the fists even landed.

The terrifying might contained within them made the surrounding space itself seem to become unstable.

A cruel, cold smile traced the corner of Gongsun Wen’s lips:

"Die, all of you!"

Boom!

The Iron-Armed Ape’s fist smashed down.

However.

The scene of blood splattering on the spot did not occur.

A Cyan Scale Shield appeared above Yaoyao and the others:

"Roar"

The Cyan Flood Dragon flickered into view.

Its tail lashed through the air.

It directly shattered the massive fist the Iron-Armed Ape had swung over.

The two instantly clashed in a brutal melee:

"Tier Three Late-Stage Spirit Pet?"

Gongsun Wen’s pupils contracted, and the smugness on his face vanished at once, replaced by a grave expression:

"Hurry and repair the Array!"

Once the Cyan Flood Dragon broke the Array.

They were in peril!

Gongsun Wen moved with a thought.

A streak of blood light shot skyward—it was his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, the Blood-Drinking Sword.

As his Techniques shifted.

The Blood-Drinking Sword buzzed, about to shoot toward Yaoyao and the other two.

Clearly.

He also knew that as long as he killed the three Array Breakers Yaoyao and the others, the Mountain Protection Array would be perfectly safe.

Buzz!

The Blood-Drinking Sword descended.

But it was deflected aside by a Cyan Lotus.

Above Yaoyao and the others, Fu Changsheng stood against the wind, Seven-Colored Spirit Light flowing over his body, the aura he radiated clearly that of the Third-Layer of the Purple Mansion:

"Th-this... how is that possible?!"

Panic instantly appeared on Gongsun Wen’s face.

Before this, he had never even heard of Fu Changsheng breaking through to the Purple Mansion. Even if he had, there was no way in less than twenty years he could have soared straight to the Third-Layer of the Purple Mansion. At the level of the Purple Mansion, each layer was incomparably difficult to break through.

While he was stunned.

The Spirit Cannons blasted open the Death Gate again.

Right after.

A streak of Purple Qi Divine Light pierced through the Life Gate.

Boom!

The Life Gate burst open:

"Charge!"

At the same time.

The Fu Family cultivators on the Celestial Dragon Warship shouted as they surged through the Life Gate.

They began a slaughter with the Gongsun Family cultivators:

"Courting death!"

Gongsun Wen’s pupils tightened.

He flashed over to the Life Gate.

But the moment he appeared.

"Roar"

An Extreme Cold Demon Sound instantly turned into rolling soundwaves that swept over him.

Right after.

Fu Changsheng, wreathed in flames, shifted his Technique, and the spear formed from the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire let out a howl as it shot toward the center of his brows.

Buzz!

The Blood-Drinking Sword recoiled back.

With a clang.

It blocked the spear manifested from the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire.

At the same time.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—the sound of space being torn rang out.

Autumn Cicada’s countless strands of hair turned into arrows, shooting toward Gongsun Wen from all directions.

"Tier Three Ghost Servant!"

Snapping back to his senses, Gongsun Wen’s pupils shrank. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected Fu Changsheng to have a Tier Three Ghost Servant as well; his whole body shuddered.

Buzz!

Blood light flared, forming a blood-colored light shield that clamped down over him, blocking the countless strands of hair outside. At the same time, his Technique shifted, his lips chanting nonstop. In the next instant, the Gongsun Clan members who had been locked in fierce battle with the Fu Family suddenly exploded one after another into clouds of blood mist. The blood mist surged skyward, forming a Blood Qi vortex in midair, as if it had pierced through to another space.

Boom!

A majestic force poured into Gongsun Wen’s body like Enlightenment.

Gongsun Wen’s aura actually soared in an instant to the Late-stage Purple Mansion, his appearance changing drastically.

At the same time.

Crack, crack!

The Gongsun Family’s Mountain Protection Array collapsed with a thunderous boom.

The Iron-Armed Ape dissipated along with it.

"Autumn Cicada, return!!"

Fu Changsheng hadn’t expected Gongsun Wen to sacrifice the lives of his entire clan to unleash this Forbidden Skill, forcibly boosting his cultivation to the Late-stage Purple Mansion. But this borrowed power definitely couldn’t last long; there was no need for him to clash fist to fist:

"Trying to run? In your dreams!"

Gongsun Wen wiped the Blood-Drinking Sword, blood light blazing on it, then shot it like lightning toward the retreating Autumn Cicada:

"Jie jie, Fu Changsheng, you forced me to use a Forbidden Skill, to become a lonely man with no clan. You think your Fu Family can still escape? Every last one of you will die!!"

As he spoke.

Gongsun Wen dove down.

He shot toward Fu Changsheng at an extremely fast speed.

Fu Changsheng moved with a thought; the Ancient Treasure Flower Basket hovered above Autumn Cicada, five-colored Dawn Light falling onto the Blood-Drinking Sword. With a buzz, Gongsun Wen’s Spiritual Mark on the sword instantly vanished, and the sword was taken into the Flower Basket.

With his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact seized.

Gongsun Wen let out a muffled groan.

However.

When his gaze fell on the Ancient Treasure Flower Basket, he wasn’t angry but delighted instead:

"Hahaha, not bad. This Ancient Treasure Flower Basket belongs to your young master now!"

As he spoke.

He pinched a seal with his right hand, a strand of Blood Qi bursting forth, shooting straight toward the center of Fu Changsheng’s brows.

Buzz!

The Blood Qi was blocked by the Cyan Flood Dragon.

There was no panic in Fu Changsheng’s eyes; his lips moved in a chant.

Rumble!

Three Exorcism Divine Thunders suddenly appeared above Gongsun Wen’s head.

The Divine Thunder swept down.

Gongsun Wen’s pupils shrank. Clearly, the Secret Techniques he cultivated were countered by Divine Thunder; he retreated repeatedly on the spot.

Rumble!!

But the Exorcism Divine Thunder kept blasting down, seemingly endless.

In a flash.

The blood-colored light shield around him was blasted open by the Divine Thunder.

"Roar"

At the same time.

Autumn Cicada’s Extreme Cold Demon Sound instantly drowned him.

The Cyan Flood Dragon’s serpentine tail flicked; in the next instant, it appeared above the dazed Gongsun Wen’s head. Its mouth gaped, a rank wind rushing out, and with a bang, a thick glob of green venom turned into a green net that dropped down over him.
