Chapter Twelve: The Great War Begins

  Inside the cave, a group of people were surrounding Duan Yi Feng, who was lying on the ground.

  "Yi Feng, are you alright?" asked Duan Jian, Yi Feng's second uncle.

  "It's nothing, probably just mental exhaustion, he directly fell asleep and will be fine after sleeping for two days." Duan Lingkong checked him out and found nothing unusual, he simply fell asleep, finally putting his worries to rest, calling two people to carry Duan Yifeng back to the room to rest.

  The next day, a meeting was held among the high-ranking members of Kuang Jian Mountain Villa to discuss how to deal with the Du'e Men sect.

  The night is hazy, with an occasional gust of cool breeze blowing by.

  In the valley between two great mountains, there was a flat and open area. Here stood a palace-like building, which was very large, surrounded by many low houses in the center, this is where the headquarters of the Scorpion Gate is located.

  In the distant forest, a large group of people were lurking, a vast and dense patch. There were over 1,600 people here, and even the lowest cultivator was at the low-grade Lingyun Master level.

  It seems that this time Kuangjian Mountain Villa has sent out its elite troops. All the martial artists of the villa have stayed behind and did not come to participate in the battle.

  Duan Lingtong suddenly flew into the air, made a gesture with his hand, and all the disciples of Kuangjian Mountain Villa immediately divided into four directions to surround the Du Xie Men.

  Duan Lingtong's eyes were solemn, and then his right hand swung forcefully, the people who had been prepared in advance rushed into the Du Xie Gate.

  "Hiss" "hiss" "hiss", the sound of breaking wind rose, and due to the unpreparedness of the Du Xie Men, four or five hundred people were suddenly killed or injured.

  Deng Ba Tian, the master of Du Xie Men, suddenly rushed out from a house and into the air over 20 meters above. Although he can't fully fly or stand in mid-air like Duan Ling Tian at present, he could still use the Ling Yun Qi to temporarily suspend himself in the air for a short period of time by releasing it under his feet. However, this method is not suitable for prolonged battles as it consumes a lot of Ling Yun Qi.

  "Scorpion Gate people, all gather around me!" Deng Ba Tian roared, and the remaining two thousand or so Scorpion Gate disciples gathered around him. Among these people, there were not a few who were also martial artists with high cultivation levels, so although the number of people from Kuang Jian Mountain Villa was smaller, they were all top-notch experts.

  The people of Kuangjian Mountain Villa surrounded the people of Du Xie Men in the center, and they were not in a hurry to take action. After all, the purpose of the surprise attack had been achieved, and the effect was pretty good. Now that Du Xie Men had reacted, it wouldn't be so easy anymore.

  "Deng Ba Tian, today is the day your Venomous Scorpion Sect will be exterminated! Your sect has always been tyrannical and ruthless in its actions. Today, you will be eradicated from Luo Ke Town, hahaha!" Duan Ling Kong stood in mid-air, his presence majestic and intimidating, his face filled with killing intent.

  "Hmph, I knew it, your Duan family has been so quiet lately, turns out you were preparing to destroy my Deng family. Duan Lingkong, don't think that just because you've broken through to the Lingyun realm, I, Deng Babatian, will be afraid of you. My Du Xie Men is not so easily provoked, humph! You killed so many of our sect members, now it's time for you to pay the price." Deng Babatian gritted his teeth and roared, then directly fired a signal flare into the sky.

  "Haha, you'd better resign yourself to your fate. Are you thinking of getting reinforcements from the Dragon Abyss? I wouldn't be unprepared, Fengyue Valley is currently facing off against them, and they don't have time to bother with you."

  Duan Lingtian clasped his hands together in front of his chest and continued, "If you hadn't sent someone to assassinate my Wind, perhaps we could have coexisted peacefully for a while. Your mistake was that you shouldn't have tried to kill my son."

  "It seems you've been prepared for a long time, the masters of Duēng Mén are not inferior to yours, aren't you afraid of suffering heavy losses? If Wind Moon Valley and ào Lóng Yuàn have designs on you... you will also..." Deng Bàtiān was furious at this moment, but when he saw that Duàn Língkōng had already become a Ling Cloud General, he began to feel uneasy and suppressed his anger.

  "Haha, you don't need to worry about this, do you think they are as shameless as you? This time we'll wipe you out, and the things you've plundered will be enough for our Kuangjian Mountain Villa to rise again. Besides, ask my disciples if they would agree to let you off?" Duan Lingkong seemed to not give him any face at all.

  "Master, I must settle the score with the Scorpion Gate today! I joined the Crazy Sword Mountain Villa just to one day avenge my parents!" A burly man walked out, glaring viciously at the people of the Scorpion Gate, as if he wanted to flay them alive.

  "Landlord, we must destroy them today." Many people shouted fiercely, with hatred in their eyes.

  "Haha, Deng Batian, listen to how many good things you've done! It seems that there are quite a few people who have grudges against you!" Duan Lingkong laughed.

  "Then come on! Today, even if it's the poisonous scorpion gate's destruction of the family, I will make sure that the Crazy Sword Mountain Villa is severely injured. Kill!" Deng Ba Tian knew that talking too much was pointless, so he decided to go all out.

  "Kill!"

  In an instant, both sides began a fierce and merciless battle. Various sharp Lingyun gases flew through the sky, blood splattered in mid-air, and fell onto this land.

  In the distance, on a large tree, a figure suddenly appeared. It was a very handsome young man, dressed in black clothes, who was hard to spot under the night sky as he stood there watching the battle not far away.

  "Ah, a bit late, but still made it in time. Looks like the Crazy Sword Villa has the upper hand for now, this isn't good if it continues. Father and Second Uncle's side doesn't need any help, winning is just a matter of time, it seems the key to the battle lies in the fight between the low-level and mid-level Lingyun Masters!" Duan Yifeng took a glance at the current situation and immediately understood where the crucial point of the battle lay.

  As soon as his voice fell, Duan Yifeng had already disappeared on the tree. After waking up, he knew that the people of Kuangjian Mountain Villa had set off and rushed over immediately.

  Two low-level Lingyun Masters were fighting with no clear winner, when suddenly a leg appeared out of nowhere in front of one of the Lingyun Masters. The person didn't even have time to react before feeling a surge of heavy force hitting their chest.

  That person was knocked flying over ten meters away, crashing into a large tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and couldn't even stand up.

  A dark figure appeared in front of him, and by the time he saw clearly what it was, a dagger had already pierced his chest. The man turned back with a faint smile, and disappeared the next second.

  That low-level Lingyun Master saw the black-clad man turn his head back, first stunned, then overjoyed.

  "Haha, it's Second Young Master, Second Young Master is actually so formidable."

  A dagger flashed from behind and slashed across his neck, another low-ranking Lingyun Master fell straight down.

  Duan Yifeng dug his nose and disappeared, leaving behind only one sentence "En, the twelfth one, not fun at all, go find Intermediate Lingyun Master to try."

  A mid-tier Lingyun Master from the Poison Scorpion Gate had beaten a mid-tier Lingyun Master from the Crazy Sword Mansion to the point where he was covered in wounds and lying on the ground, glaring fiercely at his opponent with a hint of unwillingness on his face.

  "Haha, aren't you supposed to avenge your parents? I think it's better for you to go see them."

  "Hmph, I haven't suffered a loss either. I've already killed five of the Venomous Scorpion Gate's trash. It's just a pity that I couldn't kill a few more." The man who was lying on the ground struggled to get up, and he was precisely the big fellow who was going to avenge his parents.

  Suddenly, a person blocked his way, and from the back, it was a young man with a slightly thin build.

  "Let me be your opponent, you old stinker."

  Duan Yifeng smiled with a carefree air, but his eyes held a murderous intent.

  "Ah, it's Second Master, Second Master hurry and leave, you're no match for him!"

  That big man found that the one blocking his way was actually Duan Yifeng, so he quickly dissuaded him. He knew that Duan Yifeng had just broken through to the low-grade Lingyun Master not long ago, and he himself couldn't even defeat an intermediate Lingyun Master, so he thought it was too impulsive for Duan Yifeng to come and rescue him.

  "You little brat, you didn't die after all. Why don't you stay at home and behave? Why come out again to let me kill you once more? Haha! I didn't expect that you would actually break through to the Lingyun Master level. It seems that you're also a genius? Let me put an end to your path of genius!" This old man was precisely the low-level Lingyun Master who had attempted to assassinate Duan Yi Feng in the Dark Night Forest back then, and now he had actually broken through to the early stages of mid-level Lingyun Master.

  Although he was surprised that Duan Yifeng didn't die and had even broken through to the early stages of Low-Level Lingyun Master, when he saw that Duan Yifeng was only at the initial stage, he didn't take him seriously. However, he had already decided to kill Duan Yifeng this time; otherwise, if Duan Yifeng grew too powerful, he would have to walk around him in the future.

  "Old fellow, it's still uncertain who will kill whom today! Hmph!" Duan Yifeng completely ignored the big man's dissuasion behind him and flashed away once again.
