Yunmeng Immortal Clan

It was the golden longbow in Song Zhiya's hand that shone brightly, and with a surge of magic power, the golden armor-piercing arrows instantly condensed into several small points, piercing through the surface with a single point.

Not only did it shatter the barbarian slayer's powerful and pure axe light, but it also released a sharp arrow that continued to pierce towards the barbarian slayer's ferocious body.

Forced by the arrows, the barbarian savage rode the large bird back several feet, then attempted to withstand the remaining force with his bare body.

"Bang!" However, the barbarian slayer miscalculated. Song Zhiya's arrow had an armor-piercing effect. In an instant, the barbarian pattern armor worn by the barbarian slayer was torn open by the arrow.

The barbarian butcher's face was somewhat gloomy. The barbarian-patterned armor he was wearing had been forged at great expense using the ancient barbarian weapon-forging techniques. Even top-tier magical artifacts probably couldn't break through this armor in the slightest, yet it had been broken through. This was truly an unbelievable thing.

"I heard long ago that the Song family of Qinglian Island, one of the seven great families of Yunmeng, had a Foundation Establishment Immortal cultivator named Po Jia Divine Bow. Now it seems that you are the one. My apologies!" The barbarian shrugged his long axe and glanced at the middle-aged man Song Zhiya who was holding a golden longbow.

"However, while your Armor-Piercing Divine Bow can pierce my armor, you may not be able to do anything about the Berserk Blood Technique I possess..."

This barbarian secret technique was created by the ancient sages of the barbarian race. It uses the various ferocious beast forms of the cultivation world and the bloodline inheritance of the barbarian race as a basis to prematurely draw up potential. The barbarian slayer immediately chanted a strange incantation, and then the barbarian patterns on his body instantly shone brightly.

The savage beast's head instantly transformed into a phantom of a savage bear, its arms bulging with veins, and its savage markings glowing brightly without dissipating, as if it possessed the strength of a thousand pounds.

Song Zhiya once again manipulated the golden longbow, unleashing a barrage of arrows.

With a whoosh, the arrows left the bowstring, like falling meteors, turning into streaks of light that shot straight towards the target.

This time, Song Zhiya's arrows failed to force the barbarian to retreat even half a step. The next moment, the barbarian grabbed the arrows flying everywhere with his large hand, and with a crack, these arrows, which were conjured by Taoist magic, shattered instantly.

"This fellow's savage bloodline technique is incredibly powerful, completely different from the magic cultivation techniques currently popular in my cultivation world. It's more like the ancient body cultivation, except that body cultivation is difficult, and the further one progresses, the harder it becomes to improve. This Savage Butcher has been able to forge his physique to a level comparable to a Foundation Establishment body cultivator. I estimate that even if we were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, my arrows would struggle to take him down in a short time!"

Song Zhiya pondered to himself that the attacks he and his daughter Song Hongshu were good at were not those of cultivators who were good at close combat, but rather those of cultivators who were good at ranged attacks.

Just as Song Zhiya hesitated, the barbarian savage rode a giant bird and charged forward, unleashing a series of powerful axe strikes that were haphazard in their horizontal, horizontal, vertical, and straight movements, yet each strike stirred up a fierce wind around them.

One can imagine the miserable fate that would befall a Foundation Establishment cultivator if struck by this axe beam.

Song Zhiya's arrows came like the wind, one after another. He barely managed to defend himself, and the flying sword under his feet was almost overturned. Just when he managed to stabilize himself, he was caught off guard.

That barbarian savage leaped directly from the back of the giant bird, aiming an axe at Song Zhiya's face.

At this critical moment, a sword light split into several strands, and the enormous force of the axe was forcefully dissipated.

Man Tu took a few steps back, landing almost on the back of the giant bird. His eyes swept over a middle-aged man wearing a cloak and holding a golden longsword with a calm expression. This man was none other than Song Zhichu, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and the current head of the Song family.

Song Zhichu kept a low profile. Since taking control of the vast Song family business on Qinglian Island, he had remained unassuming and low-key. As a result, over time, the entire Yunmeng Prefecture only knew that the Song family on Qinglian Island had a Foundation Establishment patriarch.

"Zhiya, you should retreat. This barbarian cultivator is quite skilled; let me fight him..."

Above the entire Manli Ancient Road, there were three Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivators from the Song Clan and one Manyue Ancient Cultivator. Below them were 200,000 Song Clan soldiers in blue armor and 100,000 Manyue soldiers in beast armor, each led by a Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator or a Body Refining Manyue Cultivator.

The two sides were arrayed with banners and flags, their momentum overwhelming.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiya nodded, and he and his daughter Song Hongshu each took their places beside him, while the family head Song Zhichu faced off against the barbarian cultivator, Man Tu.

Without wasting any words, he directly forged the Golden Dragon Sword, a spiritual weapon, in one go.

The mana from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage was poured into it, and the golden sword's light transformed into a small dragon, its sharpness fully revealed.

Then the barbarian glimpsed that this composed middle-aged man, holding a golden dragon, was unleashing a sword beam as shaped like a lotus petal amidst his unpredictable movements.

When the long axe in the hands of the barbarian clashed with the wind of the axe, even though the barbarian had immense brute strength, it was all tangled up by the exquisite sword light emanating from the middle-aged man in the cloak.

Then the barbarian cultivation techniques on the barbarian butcher's body were broken.

Man Tu was immediately weakened and fell into the midst of the barbarian army, where he was surrounded by barbarian soldiers.

The sword technique used by Song Zhichu was the Qinglian Sword Technique, a set of sword skills passed down for eight hundred years by the Song clan on Qinglian Island.

The Azure Lotus Sword Technique was left to the clan by the first ancestor, Song Daxu. It is an eighteen-layered sword technique, with the mental cultivation method and sword moves interconnected. It is a superior sword cultivation method, and only those with great perseverance can fully comprehend it.

Mastering the first three forms of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique is enough to contend with any cultivator of the same level. Once the middle three forms are comprehended, one can even kill enemies of a smaller realm.

The sixth to ninth techniques have already transcended the scope of Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivation and are the methods of Core Formation Sword Cultivation. Once comprehended, they can form a sword lotus within the Core Formation Domain. The sword lotus contains sword energy, which transforms into a sword, making killing with a mere thought effortless.

In the tradition of the Song family, the Azure Lotus Sword Technique is available to any member of the Song family who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

According to the head of the family's considerations, this sword technique may be passed on to future generations at the discretion of the family.

However, judging from this generation, the only true cultivator of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique is Song Zhichu, the current head of the Song family.

Song Zhichu had already mastered the Azure Lotus Sword Technique to the third level, and he seemed to be able to contend with a barbarian cultivator like Man Tu, who was comparable to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, without any difficulty.

"Husband! How are you?" Lu Ling stepped forward and helped the burly man into her arms, her face full of worry.

"Foundation Establishment sword cultivator! How is that possible? How could the Song Clan of Qinglian Island have a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator like you? I've never heard of you before!" Man Tu glanced incredulously at the middle-aged sword cultivator in the sky, wearing a cloak, with a solemn expression, riding a flying sword. His body was covered with sword marks, and his barbarian body was trembling slightly.
