Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

110: The charm of that sword strike!”Woof, woof, woof!”

Chen Changsheng was fast asleep when he suddenly heard barking. In his daze, he recognized it as Howling Heaven’s voice, then he jolted awake from his dream!

Howling Heaven was very well-behaved and wouldn’t bark for no reason!

Especially at night, unless someone had secretly snuck onto War Horse Slope.

Chen Changsheng had been on guard against the Gu God Cult recently, so he quickly got up, grabbed the long saber beside him, told Yi Lian to look after his Eldest Grandson, and then knocked on his sons’ door.

”Someone has snuck up here. Everyone, assemble in the courtyard!”

Chen Changsheng shouted in a low voice, and his three sons soon gathered in the courtyard, standing ready.

”Father, who’s here?”

Chuanwen asked while holding a long saber in the courtyard. Chen Changsheng frowned and whispered:

”I was woken up by Howling Heaven. Howling Heaven doesn’t bark without reason; someone must have come up the mountain!”

”Over the years, we’ve wiped out all our enemies. The only ones left with a grudge against us are the Gu God Cult!”

Chuanwen looked solemn upon hearing this. They all knew the Gu God Cult was a major heretical sect with Foundation Establishment Cultivators and was not to be underestimated.

”Father, should we go find Immortal Official Baili for help?”

Chuanwen wanted to bring Baili Xi in as an ally, but Chen Changsheng shook his head and said with a heavy expression:

”Baili Xi is far away in the county town, and the enemy is already at the foot of the hill. He won’t make it in time!”

”Besides, the Gu God Cult is here for revenge. The newcomers are bound to be experts, and Baili Xi won’t put himself in danger. We have to get through this ourselves!”

Hearing this, Chuanwen gave up on that idea for now and prepared himself for a desperate fight.

Half a quarter-hour later, bursts of laughter came from outside the courtyard.

”Jie, jie, jie. Since your Chen family knows my Gu God Cult is here, why haven’t you run away?”

”Do you want to stay here and die?”

As the words fell, the Chen family’s front gate shattered into pieces. Two old men in green robes were already standing before the gate.

”Gu God Cult? My son Chuanjie killed your Elder only to save his own life. Why must you keep hounding us? If you’re willing to spare my Chen family, I’m willing to give you a large sum of Spirit Crystals!”

Chen Changsheng squinted at the two green-robed old men, feeling a sense of foreboding. If a whole group had come, it would mean they were relying on numbers!

But since only two came, it meant they must be experts with high cultivation levels. They wouldn’t be easy to deal with!

”Our Gu God Cult always settles its scores. As for Spirit Crystals, once we kill you, they’ll all be ours anyway!”

The short-bearded old man revealed a cruel smile, as if Chen Changsheng and the others were already lying dead on the ground at his mercy!

”Father, why waste words with him? Let’s just fight!”

Chuanjie, unable to restrain himself any longer, drew his netherworld sword and pointed it at the short-bearded old man.

”Kid, so you’re the one who killed Old Six. I’m going to crush your bones inch by inch!”

The short-bearded old man’s face turned ugly when he saw Chuanjie pointing the sword at him.

”Come at me then, and we’ll see who dies!”

Chen Chuanjie snorted coldly and spoke with total indifference.

”Old Five, leave this brat to me. You handle the rest of them!”

The short-bearded old man’s face turned red with rage. Wasting no more words, he pulled a bottle from his person and whispered:

”Go and bite that brat to death!”

A small green snake then crawled out of his bottle. Once it hit the ground, its size grew until it was a giant python over two meters long!

”Siss, siss!”

The python’s tongue flicked out as it let out a low hiss. Its cold pupils locked onto Chen Chuanjie, then it coiled back and shot forward like a sharp arrow straight at him!

”Good timing!”

Chen Chuanjie shouted as he lunged forward with his sword, slashing at the python. To his surprise, an earthy-yellow light shield appeared on the python’s body, blocking his netherworld sword!

”Kid, my python has the Earth Shield talent and is a natural at Spells. It possesses immense strength and deadly poison. Forget a mere Early Stage Qi Refining like you, even a Mid-stage Qi Refining couldn’t stop it!”

Seeing Chuanjie’s sword strike the snake, the short-bearded old man laughed heartily, stroking his beard as he spoke cruelly.

”Is that so? Then today I shall slay this worm!”

Chen Chuanjie wasn’t intimidated. He continued to slash at the python with his sword, trying to find a weakness, while using agile footwork to dodge its attacks!

While Chuanjie and the giant python were locked in a back-and-forth battle, Chen Chuanwu’s side was fraught with danger!

It turned out that the bald old man was actually a Body Tempering Cultivator. His physical body was as strong as Vajra. Whether it was Chuanwu’s iron spear or Chuanwen’s long saber, their strikes only produced sparks against his skin.

The bald old man didn’t bother defending at all, using only his iron fists to force the two back. If not for Howling Heaven’s harassment from the side, the brothers probably wouldn’t have held out for long!

Seeing his sons in peril, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but shout:

”Chuanwu, Chuanwen! If you don’t use your life-saving Talismans now, when will you?”

Chuanwu and Chuanwen exchanged a glance. Hearing Chen Changsheng’s shout, they no longer held back their Talismans. Each took out a golden light talisman and slapped it onto themselves.

The Talismans burned, and a layer of golden light immediately enveloped the two brothers. When the bald old man’s attacks hit the light, they only caused ripples!

For the moment, the battles on both sides had stabilized. Until the golden light talismans wore off, the brothers were safe!

Meanwhile, Chen Chuanjie was still fighting the giant python, and neither side had gained the upper hand yet!

Now it depended on who would falter first. If the brothers’ golden light talismans failed, the bald old man would slaughter them and then join the attack on Chuanjie, meaning the Chen family would lose!

If Chen Chuanjie could slay the giant python first, the Chen family would have a chance at victory!

As time ticked by, the golden light on the brothers was flickering, on the verge of breaking!

After a long and fierce battle, Chuanjie’s eyes finally lit up. He discovered that the python’s defense was weakest at its seven-inch mark!

”Haha, you worm, take this!”

Having found the opening, Chuanjie didn’t hesitate. He channeled all his magic power and unleashed the first move of the Sword Scripture: Sword Cleaves Mountains and Rivers!

The pitch-black Sword Qi surged out like a Flood Dragon, heading straight for the python’s seven-inch mark. This strike was as fast as a gale and carried infinite violence!

Swish!

The pitch-black Sword Qi instantly pierced through the python’s seven-inch mark. The giant python could only drop its head powerlessly as its entire body crashed to the ground!

But the pitch-black Sword Qi didn’t vanish. Originally, Chen Chuanjie intended for it to take down the short-bearded old man.

However, seeing that Chuanwu’s golden light talisman had expired and the Body Cultivator old man had already snapped Chuanwu’s long spear, he immediately redirected the Sword Qi toward the Body Cultivator.

”What powerful Sword Qi!”

In a panic, the Body Cultivator old man could only cross his arms over his chest in a defensive posture, but he had underestimated the power of the Sword Qi!

The pitch-black Sword Qi pierced through his chest, leaving a large hole. The Body Cultivator old man died with his eyes wide open!

”This... this is no Sword Immortal... he is clearly a Sword Demon!”

The short-bearded old man to the side no longer had his previous air of superiority. Watching the violent Sword Qi that had slain both the giant python and the Body Cultivator, he muttered to himself!
