Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1047 Thunder Dragon, Divine General, Five-Tailed Ferocious Beast

The people who came to support the Luo family were none other than Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang.

no way.

There were too many fleeing demonic beasts, and most of the Tianyun Sword Sect's forces had been dispatched to support various sides. Even the six hall masters were no exception; all of them, except those who were in seclusion, were summoned.

Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang arrived a little late because they did not come from Baiyun Immortal City. They had just dealt with a group of demonic beasts when they received orders from their sect, which is why they rushed over to provide support.

"Junior brother, use the Thunder Talisman!" Yang Jizhen said to Cui Yang, looking at the battlefield below.

Upon hearing this, Cui Yang took out a large stack of Xuan Lei Talismans without saying a word. He formed a hand seal, and the Xuan Lei Talismans flew out one by one, activating and transforming into bolts of lightning. However, these bolts of lightning did not attack the demonic beasts below, but instead converged towards Yang Jizhen.

Countless bolts of lightning converged on Yang Jizhen like a vast net, flowing into the Yi Mu Qing Lei Sword.

Yang Jizhen was bathed in lightning, his hair and beard flying wildly, and lightning flashing. At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and even the white cloud flying boat was no longer pure white, but stained leaden and blended into the dark clouds.

The White Cloud Flying Boat was a large flying boat of the former White Cloud Daoist lineage. The White Cloud Daoist lineage did not inherit Daoist techniques related to clouds and mist, but rather thunder techniques.

So don't be fooled by the appearance of the White Cloud Flying Boat; it is actually a flying boat that harbors thunder.

Yang Jizhen cultivates the Yi Wood Thunder Control Scripture and the Yi Wood Azure Thunder Sword Technique, so he is a thunder-based sword cultivator. Of course, thunder magic is his main cultivation, and swordsmanship is just something he dabbles in.

Thunderclouds gathered, gales howled, and countless bolts of lightning coiled around Yang Jizhen, making him appear as if a thunder god had descended to earth, looking down upon all living beings.

"Thunder Magic, Thunder Dragon Descends!"

His eyes flashed with lightning, his hands formed a magic seal, and the Azure Thunder Sword in front of him, carrying thousands of bolts of lightning, transformed into a dazzling thunder dragon, which meandered and coiled in the air before crashing down.

Boom boom boom~~
Bolts of lightning struck the demonic beasts and strange beasts with pinpoint accuracy. The strange beasts, after being struck by lightning, were instantly torn apart and charred black, while the demonic beasts, after being struck by lightning, only suffered minor injuries.

However, the lightning released by the Thunder Dragon became more and more abundant and dense, wrapping around the monsters like chains.

One lightning strike only causes minor injuries, but what about ten or a hundred?
In the blink of an eye, a large number of demonic beasts and strange creatures on the battlefield were blasted into charred remains.

However, Yang Jizhen's attack was not over yet. His magic power was surging, and the lightning in the dark clouds continued to strike the Yimu Qinglei Sword in front of him.

However, not far away, Cui Yang was still activating one Xuan Lei Talisman after another at an extremely fast speed.

Although the Xuanlei Talisman is a second-tier talisman, its power is not strong. Its most powerful feature is that when used in large quantities, it can cause thunderclouds to gather and detonate thousands of thunderbolts.

In other words, the more Xuan Lei talismans activated, the greater the power unleashed will be—not just additive, but multiplicative.

Back then, Yang Zhengshan used this move to display his power in the Sun Cave Heaven, and now Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang are also using this move to display their power.

However, Yang Jizhen is not as good as Yang Zhengshan was back then, so he needs Cui Yang's assistance.

As a talisman master, Cui Yang's control and manipulation of talismans far surpassed Yang Zhengshan's. He could precisely make each talisman unleash its maximum power, and continuously and steadily transmit lightning to Yang Jizhen one after another.

In contrast, Yang Zhengshan's use of the Xuanlei Talisman back then was a waste; he simply activated the talisman and then ignored it.

Many of the Xuanlei talismans in his hands were unable to unleash their full power or generate sufficiently strong lightning.

Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang worked together, one controlling the lightning and the other transmitting it. A terrifying lightning dragon hovered in mid-air, and bolts of lightning lashed out at the demonic beasts and strange creatures like fluttering willow branches.

With the support of Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang, the battle situation at Yunye Manor was immediately reversed, and the balance of victory began to tilt towards Tianyun Sword Sect. Seeing that the situation was not good, many demon beasts no longer cared about snatching spiritual items and scattered and fled.

However, times had changed. They wanted to escape, but the Luo family and the Tianyun Sword Sect were unwilling to let them go easily. Thus, a series of chases were constantly being staged among the rolling hills.

……

Just as the battle at Yunye Manor was coming to an end, battles also broke out in the eastern part of the Yunxiao Mountains.

Unlike Yunye Manor, the eastern part of the Yunxiao Mountains is characterized by numerous towering peaks and more complex terrain. The monsters that have ventured into the area have not formed a large group, but rather roam in small groups, hiding in various places.

If they were just hiding, that wouldn't be a problem. The Tianyun Sword Sect doesn't forbid them from surviving in the Yunxiao Mountains. However, they also need various spiritual items, and they will attack the Tianyun Sword Sect's properties in the mountains, and even intercept and kill Tianyun Sword Sect disciples who are passing by.

Therefore, the Tianyun Sword Sect could only send out a large number of disciples to hunt down these demonic beasts that had hidden in the Yunxiao Mountains.

The combined army of Cangyu Mountain, Cangjian Mountain, Yang Family, and several Elder Peaks split into small teams to search for monsters in the vast and complex mountain forests.

As a result, small-scale battles broke out in the Yunxiao Mountains.

In the lush mountain forest, a ten-foot-long blade of light pierced the tree canopy like a rainbow piercing the sun, shooting towards the clear sky.

The blade's edge, enveloping the branches and leaves and stained with scarlet blood, finally exploded in mid-air.

The treetops flew up, revealing a mangled corpse beneath.

It was a Black Wind Tyrant Bear, its three-zhang-tall body lying on the ground like a small mountain. Its smooth and shiny fur shimmered with a faint spiritual light, and its huge head was inlaid with white fangs as white as jade, only stained with a layer of bright red blood.

The head had been severed from the body, and dark red blood was gushing out of the neck like a fountain.

Not far from the bear carcass, Ding Qiu wiped the long knife in his hand, calmly looking at the streak of blood on the tip of the blade.

"Fellow Daoist is truly amazing! This sword intent is unparalleled!"

Wen Qiao approached him, looking at the enormous bear carcass with shock and awe in her eyes.

Ding Qiu's strength was worthy of his respect. In just a few days, Ding Qiu had killed more than a dozen second-tier demonic beasts, and he killed them one by one with each strike, without any hesitation.

After the support teams arrived at Xiaoyun Peak, they were divided into small teams, each with more than a dozen people. Usually, two Foundation Establishment cultivators would lead some Golden Body Realm warriors and Qi Refining Realm cultivators together.

Ding Qiu and Wen Qiao formed a team, along with six Golden Body Realm martial artists and six Qi Refining Level 8 or 9 cultivators.

Wen Qiao and the others were in charge of the search, while Ding Qiu was responsible for the killings. They cooperated seamlessly, their search was swift, and their results were considerable. "Let's pack up and go find the next one!" Ding Qiu said calmly.

“Okay!” Wen Qiao replied without hesitation.

……

In the deep canyon, countless red-eyed bats blotted out the sun, making the already dark and narrow canyon as dark as night.

However, in this gloomy canyon, sword light flashed like shuttles, piercing through the bodies of red-eyed bats.

Dark red blood splattered, and bat carcasses fell to the bottom of the canyon.

A dozen or so cultivators and martial artists formed a circular formation, each trying to fend off the swarming bat army. Swords flashed, spells and talismans shot out from the formation.

Around the circular formation, Li Jianning and Li Jianan stood one in front and one behind, one on the left and one on the right. One's sword energy was like a surging tide, while the other's sword energy was like wisps of silk, ethereal and sharp. The two swords combined and slaughtered wantonly.

"These ugly bats, I'll wipe you all out!"

"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!"

"Where did that monster go?"

"What kind of heroes hide and run? If you've got the guts, come out and fight!"

"Why haven't we received any reinforcements yet? Is anyone around here?"

Li Jianing's sword was fast and swift, just like her mouth, slashing and never stopping.

Li Jian'an felt that her ears were about to give way. It was too noisy. These hateful bats were annoying, and her older sister's mouth was even more irritating.

"Stop talking!" Li Jian'an couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.

"I have to talk to them, these bats are driving me crazy. If I don't say anything, I feel like I'm going to explode!" Li Jianing said anxiously.

"That's their sonic attack. Calm your mind and don't let them affect you!" Li Jian'an naturally understood where their irritation came from, but she still couldn't help but complain about Li Jianning's chatter.

Red-eyed bats are an extremely inconspicuous group of strange beasts. They prefer to live in groups, often gathering in groups of thousands.

Although they are numerous, very few of them are of demonic beast level.

But the group of red-eyed bats in front of us is an exception. Not only are there tens of thousands of them, but there are also three monster-level creatures among them.

Most importantly, they were hiding in this narrow valley. Li Jianning and Li Jianan passed through here with almost no precautions and were attacked by them.

Just as the two sisters were slaughtering bats and bickering, tall figures clad in armor and wielding weapons suddenly appeared in the sky above the canyon.

"kill!"

A cold shout rang out, and tall figures rushed into the sky-covering swarm of bats.

Bathed in golden light, their armor gleamed with a golden sheen, and they entered the swarm of bats like celestial warriors.

Noticing the golden-armored soldiers, Li Jianning shouted and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Senior Xuanzhen has arrived! You ugly creatures, all of you, die!"

Above the canyon, Xuanzhen held a chessboard of divine generals in one hand and made a hand seal in the other, and the chess pieces transformed into divine generals and entered the battlefield.

The Divine General Chessboard is Xuanzhen's natal magic weapon. Each chess piece on the board is a golden-armored divine general, whose strength is comparable to that of a ghost general and a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Previously, Xuanzhen only had a dozen or so divine generals under his command, but now he has as many as thirty-six divine generals, which is equivalent to thirty-six Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The reason there are so many is because Yang Zhengshan gave Lin Qihe's storage bag to Xuanzhen.

The items in that storage bag all came from the Impermanent Ghost Sect, and the most popular magic weapon of the Impermanent Ghost Sect was the Myriad Ghost Banner, with each Myriad Ghost Banner containing more than a dozen ghost generals.

If there were enough time, Xuanzhen could have gathered seventy or eighty golden-armored ghost generals.

The fact that Xuanzhen could form an army all by himself was his greatest strength.

Although the individual strength of these divine generals is only equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the thirty-six divine generals together are enough to fight against several cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The gods went into battle, and thousands of red-eyed bats fell like hailstones.

……

Battles were raging across the eastern part of the Cloud Mountain Range, but these battles posed little threat to the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. At most, they threatened the safety of a few Elder Peaks, but were not enough to damage the foundation of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

The real threat to the foundation of the Tianyun Sword Sect comes from those demon kings.

Everyone was fighting, and Yang Zhengshan was naturally not idle either. He did not return to Baiyun Immortal City, but stayed in the eastern part of Yunxiao Mountain Range.

Those second-tier demonic beasts weren't worth his personal attention, but this strange-looking fellow in front of him required his intervention.

This beast is entirely crimson, shaped like a leopard, with a single horn on its head and five tails. It has a fierce face, and although its fangs are only three inches long, they gleam with a chilling light that makes one's heart tremble.

The Five-Tailed Ferocious Beast is an extremely rare type of demonic beast. Yang Zhengshan had only heard of it before, and this was the first time he had ever seen one.

The Five-Tailed Zheng is a descendant of the ancient mythical beast Zheng. It is not an exaggeration to call it Zheng, because it is no different from the legendary ancient mythical beast Zheng, at least in appearance.

These monsters, which are extremely similar to ancient mythical beasts, all possess incredibly powerful talents, and their strength generally far surpasses that of ordinary monsters.

Moreover, this one in front of us is a demon king-level being, which makes it even more terrifying, because it may have inherited the innate supernatural powers of the ancient mythical beast Zhen.
