Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 296: Chapter 175: Silver Armored Horned Python, First Victory, Entering the Ruins (3)

In a rush.

Gongsun Gong raised his hand to summon a handkerchief, which twirled and hovered above his head, reflecting back the sonic waves of the Extreme Cold Demon Chant.

At the same time.

Gongsun Gong pointed at the Eight Trigrams Array Plate in his hand.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three beams of light arrived instantly, aiming straight at Fu Changsheng’s brow.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Fu Changsheng’s Three-Transformation Treasure Lotus Lamp spun swiftly, three lotus petals transformed, forming a bud-like shield to protect Fu Changsheng.

Meanwhile.

From within the bud.

A brilliant beam shot out.

Before Gongsun Gong could launch a second wave of attack.

With a loud bang.

It directly destroyed the Eight Trigrams Array Plate in his hand.

With his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact destroyed.

Gongsun Gong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, panic flashing in his eyes, he reflexively raised his hand to summon an Eight Trigrams Array Map.

The Array Map flickered with Spirit Light.

Boom!

The Purple Qi Divine Light followed closely behind the brilliant beam, striking the Array Map, causing it to tremble violently, yet it managed to withstand the attack.

However.

Gongsun Gong no longer had the will to fight.

He flipped his right hand.

A Water Escape Talisman appeared, just as he was about to crush it, an ache struck his foot, he looked down, and saw that the place where he stood had inexplicably turned red, the color spreading upward.

Gongsun Gong was greatly shocked.

However.

Escape was urgent now.

He had no intention to tend to his wounds, only wanting to leave as fast as possible.

Whoosh!

Just as he was halfway through his Technique.

From underground.

A Blood Arrow pierced through his brow with lightning speed.

Bang!

Gongsun Gong fell heavily to the ground.

Dead without hope of revival.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve, directly collecting the corpse, Xiaoqing flashed below the ground, transforming into a ring winding around Fu Changsheng’s finger.

Fu Changsheng turned to look at the battlefield.

With Gongsun Gong dead.

Originally there were only four Foundation Establishment cultivators left, one of whom was instantly killed by Shangguan Feng’s thunderous methods, while the other two were besieged by Shangguan Hongyu’s group of four, the other Gongsun Ting was being handled by Molan riding the Windbreak Beast.

Gongsun Ting wielded a long whip like a Spiritual Snake, following the changes in Techniques, the whip lashed at Fu Molan like dense raindrops.

If not for the Windbreak Beast’s swift speed, agile body, it would never have evaded.

Nonetheless.

The dense afterimages already formed a massive net, trapping Fu Molan within, the Ancient Luo Fan above Molan shimmered with Spirit Light, guarding her.

Fu Molan showed no sign of panic.

Only seen changing her Technique.

Chanting a spell.

The afterimages surrounding her shattered with crackling sounds, turning into ice sculptures, then with a bang, the ice sculptures dissolved into stars and vanished.

Gongsun Ting took a step back.

In the next moment.

Her vision blurred.

Finding herself in a bamboo forest.

Falling into the trap Fu Molan had prepared.

Shangguan Ting’s pupils shrank, she patted her storage bag, a Cloud Returning Pearl appeared in her hand, she had no time to decipher the Illusion Array, planning to break through with brute force.

Only.

As she performed her Technique.

Within the array.

Music notes surged up, before discerning whether illusion or reality, the notes boomed and flew into her body like lightning.

Boom!

The next instant.

The notes transformed into strings.

Piercing through from within her.

Gongsun Ting’s corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Glaring in death!

After Molan broke through to Foundation Establishment.

She evidently practiced an ice attribute Magic, combined with the musical attacks from the ”Thousand Sounds Treasure Manual” cultivated during the Qi Refining Stage, her combat strength was now comparable to any Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Fu Changsheng originally intended to assist, but seeing this he took out Recovery Spirit Wine and took a gulp, continuing to restore mana. Surveying the battlefield.

The remaining three Gongsun Family Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With Shangguan Feng’s Peak Foundation Establishment combat strength joining in.

Were eliminated in less than ten breaths.

Thus.

All six Gongsun Family Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the site were annihilated.

Given the Gongsun Family’s territory distance from the Ten Thousand Mountains, even rushing at full speed, their Foundation Establishment cultivators would need half a month to arrive, by then this would be long over.

Such a clean and swift resolution of external threats.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Ding and Shangguan Yun were somewhat shocked that Fu Changsheng was faster than them in defeating the enemy, though they hadn’t closely observed his attack techniques during the Dharma Combat.

From the corner of their eyes though, they saw him easily and effortlessly dispatch his opponent, seemingly only having Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, yet his combat strength was no less than a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, possibly more.

It now seems.

His ability to lead the Fu Family to rise to Ninth Grade.

Wasn’t purely luck.

Clearly his own strengths led him step by step to his current standing.

Both held increased admiration for Fu Changsheng.

Even Fu Molan earned a refreshed regard.

Shangguan Ding looked towards the entrance vortex of the ruins, excitedly saying:

”Grand Elder, shall we proceed now?”

”No rush.”

Shangguan Feng surveyed the battlefield, finding no further threats, turned to Shangguan Hongyu and Shangguan Chen and said: ”Seventh brother, you, Hongyu, and Miss Qingru, set up an array at the vortex exit first, the others meditate here and restore mana to the best condition.”

What secrets lay within the ruins.

They knew nothing.

It made sense to enter only when mana was fully restored.

Though itching to enter the ruins, they obeyed, finding places to sit cross-legged.

Fu Changsheng did the same.

Operating his Cultivation Technique.

Restoring his cultivation to fullness.

His thoughts turned to the panel.

With entrance to the ruins imminent, naturally intelligence must be exchanged first.

Previous reports.

Had not clearly indicated the locations of various Spiritual Objects.

Now at the ruins entrance.

Hoping the system could refresh specific locations.

Took a deep breath.

And in a single thought:

”Exchange intelligence!”
