Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Assaulting the Fan Family
Under the full force of Yang Xiaotian’s control, the Abyssal Spaceship transformed into a streak of high-speed light, continually slicing through the void, closing in on the Great Brahma Empire.
Along the way, Ji Wudi stood at the bow of the spaceship, not uttering a word.
His body was surrounded by Sword Qi that sometimes surged, sometimes raged fiercely, like the wind, and occasionally like startling thunder.
Yang Xiaotian did not disturb Ji Wudi, choosing instead to sit cross-legged in the practice room within the spaceship to cultivate.
During his time in Ji Wudi’s cave mansion, Yang Xiaotian had immensely benefited from their exchange of insights on the Sword Dao. His understanding of the Samsara Sword Path was now complete, and he showed signs of forming the fifteenth Sword Heart.
As Yang Xiaotian contemplated, his Sword Qi, much like Ji Wudi’s, surged like rivers, raged like giant waves, breezed gently, and cracked like thunder.
As Yang Xiaotian continued his contemplation, his Sword Qi became increasingly astonishing. Ji Wudi, who had been standing at the bow of the spaceship, was surprised by what he saw in Yang Xiaotian’s practice room and then showed a look of gratification and awe.
Besides pondering the Sword Dao, Yang Xiaotian also didn’t forget to persist in cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, striving to enhance his cultivation and vitality.
No matter how powerful the Sword Dao and Divine Skills are, it’s useless if one’s cultivation does not advance.
Take Du Hongqing, for example. If he were of the Emperor Realm, it would not have been possible for him to fail to receive even one of my strikes.
As Yang Xiaotian consumed high-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills and Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, his cultivation gradually approached the late stages of the Venerable Realm.
His vitality, too, was steadily increasing.
Time passed.
Finally, Yang Xiaotian and his companions reached the Great Brahma Empire.
Upon entering the Great Brahma Empire, they saw figures from various sects and families flying in a panic everywhere they looked.
Although the Empire Army and many major sects and family clans had already reinforced the Great Brahma Empire, the number of Undying Wraiths was simply too great to be completely eradicated.
Even several of the reinforcing clans and sect experts were killed by these Undying Wraiths, becoming Undying Wraiths themselves.
Many cities had become wastelands.
Many mountains and rivers were destroyed, leaving a landscape unrecognizable.
Seeing the devastated Great Brahma Empire, Yang Xiaotian felt a heavy heart.
Back in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, the four Undying Death Gods were severely wounded by Master Ding, but unexpectedly, their injuries healed so quickly that they managed to join forces and annihilate the Fan Family in the blink of an eye.
He had already learned that after destroying the Fan Family, the four Undying Death Gods had taken away the Fan Family Treasury.
In the Fan Family Treasury, there were countless Elixirs and Spiritual Medicines.
With all these Elixirs and Spiritual Medicines, the cultivation of the four Undying Death Gods would most likely increase again, and by then, they would become even more difficult to deal with.
The closer the spaceship got to the Fan Family, the more Undying Wraiths they encountered.
Yang Xiaotian simply commanded the spaceship to blast these Death Spirits into oblivion.
As Yang Xiaotian and his companions approached the Fan Family, they encountered a large group of Undying Wraiths besieging the Fan Family experts. Among the besieged Fan Family experts, he recognized, to his surprise, Fan Wuyan.
Yang Xiaotian swiftly had the Demon Ape take action and rescue Fan Wuyan and the others.
When Fan Wuyan was saved by Yang Xiaotian, his eyes reddened with tears, and he cried, “Xiaotian, my Fan Family has been destroyed, my father, my mother – they have all died in battle!”
Yang Xiaotian was at a loss for words on how to comfort the grieving Fan Wuyan.
After a long while, Fan Wuyan’s emotions stabilized a bit.
He and the other Fan Family experts expressed their gratitude and saved to Yang Xiaotian and his companions.
Upon recognizing the identity of Ji Wudi, Fan Wuyan and the others were excited and paid their respects.
“Lord Wudi, I implore you to avenge our Lord Jian Jiu,” the Supreme Elder of the Fan Family, Fan Cheng, said with a choked voice.
They knew that Ji Wudi was the close and good friend of their Lord Jian Jiu.
“I will,” Ji Wudi replied solemnly, nodding his head.
However, the thought of the Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha’s strength filled Ji Wudi’s heart with a sense of helplessness and futility.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was powerful, but the Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha were notorious monsters renowned since a hundred thousand years ago; even his close friend Jian Jiu had perished at their hands, how could he even speak of vengeance?
“Lord Wudi, my Fan Family still has ancestral treasures in the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds. I’ve returned this time to inherit the Fan Family’s ancestral treasure, and I beseech you to escort me into the Forbidden Grounds,” Fan Wuyan implored on his knees before Ji Wudi. “If I can inherit the Fan Family’s ancestral treasure, my Fan Family will surely never forget your great kindness!”
Without much thought, Ji Wudi nodded and said, “If that is the case, then let’s storm into the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds.”
So, after rescuing Fan Wuyan and the others, the group continued deeper into Fan Family territory.
At last, the Fan Family’s holdings came into distant view.
However, the sky above and the ground around the Fan Family were teeming with Undying Wraiths, swarming thickly like horrifying flies, making it impossible to approach the Fan Family’s estate.
Yang Xiaotian powered the Abyssal Spaceship with all his might, charging straight into the fray.
But the Death Spirits were far too numerous; as soon as the spaceship entered, it was inundated by endless legions of wraiths.
Fortunately, with the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi around, otherwise, even with Yang Xiaotian’s Abyssal Spaceship, it would be impossible to penetrate deep into the army of Death Spirits.
Every swing of the Demon Ape’s two iron chains, wraiths fell like flies, while Ji Wudi’s Sword Qi was unrivaled; with a casual flick of his finger, millions of layers of Sword Qi razed swathes of Death Spirits.
Even so, with the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi present, when they reached the plaza in front of the Fan Family, progress became torturously slow, for there, Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits appeared. Though the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi could send the adversaries flying, killing them proved to be very difficult.
And there were many of these Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits—tens of them!
The Demon Ape and Ji Wudi also felt the pressure.
Suddenly, from the depths of the Fan Family, a Sword Qi infused with astonishing death power broke through the air, heading straight for the Demon Ape.
The Demon Ape was taken aback, swinging its iron chain swiftly; demonic energy surged, crashing against the death-infused Sword Qi.
To Yang Xiaotian and the others’ surprise, the Demon Ape was actually forced to take several steps back.
Looking towards the source, they saw a figure bursting forth from the depths of the Fan Family.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ji Wudi and Fan Wuyan, among others, changed their expressions.
Because the arrival was none other than Jian Jiu!
However, at this moment, Jian Jiu had been completely eroded by the Undying Death Qi, turned into a Death Spirit.
Wrapped in Death Qi, Jian Jiu’s Sword Qi became an ocean, his aura so formidable that even the Demon Ape’s expression grew solemn.
With eyes filled with the essence of death, Jian Jiu stepped forward, already before the spaceship with a thrust of his sword. Instantly, a skyful of Sword Qi rained down like a torrential storm upon everyone.
Ji Wudi’s hand now held a longsword; with a sweep, he unleashed Endless Sword Qi, thwarting that strike.
Even so, the spaceship was shaken by the force of both their Sword Qi and was sent flying backward.
As Jian Jiu raised his sword for another attack, Ji Wudi faced his former friend with complexity in his heart, a mix of sorrow and rage, and stepped forward with his sword ready.
Suddenly, several more terrifying Sword Qis struck from the depths of the Fan Family; a number of powerful Death Spirits had arrived.
These powerful Death Spirits, who were the Fan Family’s Ancient Ancestors in life, were not quite as strong as Jian Jiu, but they were not much weaker either.
The Demon Ape’s complexion changed, and it urgently said to Yang Xiaotian, “Young master, we should retreat first!”
Moreover, it felt that an even stronger batch of Death Spirits were emerging from the depths of the Fan Family. If they didn’t retreat now, they would struggle to escape later.
