Chapter 2: Spiritual Talismans Break Through the Door, Fire Magic Burns the Enemy
Chapter 2: Spiritual Talismans Break Through the Door, Fire Magic Burns the Enemy
The night rain at Black Stone Mountain was like a waterfall.
Outside the Li family ancestral home, dozens of figures stood in the rain, their bodies shimmering with spiritual light, completely blocking out the rain.
These people are at least Qi Refining Level 1 cultivators.
Placed in an ordinary city, it would be enough to sweep away an entire army.
At this moment, they only want to destroy a minor ninth-rank clan.
⸻
The leader was a burly man, covered in black armor, carrying a long sword with red patterns, the blade of which was wreathed in flames.
The second most important person in the Wang family.
Wang Xuanhu, a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
He stared at the Li family's ancestral home, his eyes filled with greed.
"Ten acres of spiritual land."
"Dozens of clansmen."
"And that batch of unsold spirit rice."
"After tonight, everything will belong to the Wang family."
With that, he raised one hand.
Three crimson talismans rose into the air.
"Breakdown charm, go!"
Whoosh!
The talisman transformed into three balls of fire, crashing into the Li family's gate with a deafening roar.
Boom—!
The wooden door trembled violently, and the protective runes on its surface instantly dimmed by half.
The faces of everyone in the courtyard were deathly pale.
The protective array that the Li family had accumulated over several years only withstood one attack.
⸻
In front of the council chamber.
Li Tianheng stood leaning on his sword, his breath weak and shallow, blood still seeping from the wound on his chest.
"Wang Xuanhu actually brought a door-breaking talisman..."
An elder's voice trembled:
"Chieftain, we can't hold out any longer!"
"The Wang family has three members in the late-stage Qi Refining realm. How can we possibly stop them?"
The atmosphere inside the hall was in turmoil.
Li Xuan then slowly walked out.
His gaze was calm as he looked at the firelight outside the courtyard.
"Who said to defend?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Li Xuan spoke calmly:
"Tonight, I will not keep watch."
"kill."
⸻
【Ding! 】
[Family Development System Activated]
New player rewards have been distributed.
[Basic Aura Observation Technique]
[A Crisis Simulation]
[Upgrade Opportunity for One Acre of Spiritual Field]
Li Xuan's mind stirred.
"Analyze the current battle situation."
⸻
[Driving simulation in progress...]
[Outcome 1: The Li family's desperate defense of their ancestral home led to their demise]
[Outcome 2: They scattered and fled, only to be hunted down one by one]
[Result 3: Using the spiritual water from the rainy night to burn the enemy's chaotic formation, victory can be achieved]
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.
There is a road.
⸻
boom!
The second goal-scoring signal has been issued.
The gate was covered in cracks, and the lintel was about to collapse.
Wang Xuanhu outside the door laughed wildly:
"Li Tianheng!"
"Hand over the clan seal, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse!"
Li Tianheng was so angry that he vomited blood.
The Li family members were filled with despair.
Just then, Li Xuan's voice suddenly rang out.
"Uncle Yuanlie."
"Take six men and lie in ambush in the side courtyard, close to the wall."
"Wait for my command, and execute the rear guard of the Wang family."
Li Yuanlie was taken aback.
"I?"
"right."
Li Xuan looked at him.
"You're at the sixth level of Qi Refining, practicing the Rift Wind Blade Technique, which allows you to unleash your strongest burst of power."
"If you don't draw your sword tonight, the Li family will perish."
Li Yuanlie's eyes gradually brightened, and he grinned.
"I like hearing that."
"I'm going to kill someone too."
⸻
Li Xuan then looked at Li Tianheng.
"The clan chief is stationed at the main gate."
"Just hold off Wang Xuanhu for three breaths."
Li Tianheng said in a deep voice:
"Can."
Finally, Li Xuan looked up towards the direction of the back mountain.
"Open the Ling Canal".
The clan elders were all taken aback.
"That's the irrigation canal for the sacred fields!"
"It's opened! The spirit field is going to be flooded!"
Li Xuan's expression remained unchanged.
"One acre of spiritual land can be exchanged for half of the Wang family's cultivators."
"value."
Everyone fell silent.
At that moment, they realized for the first time.
This young clan leader is truly in charge of the overall situation.
⸻
boom!!!
The third door-breaking talisman exploded.
The Li family's gate was torn to pieces.
The Wang family cultivators swarmed in like a pack of wolves.
Wang Xuanhu stepped into the courtyard, and the spiritual pressure of the eighth level of Qi Refining spread out with a roar.
Many members of the Li family were so overwhelmed that their faces turned pale and they could not even stand up straight.
"Kneel down!"
He grinned maliciously as he spoke.
"From this day forward, the Li family ceases to exist!"
⸻
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
[Aura Observation Technique Activated]
The next instant, the trajectory of the spiritual energy within Wang Xuanhu's body became clearly visible.
The meridians in the right shoulder are congested.
The left leg has abundant spiritual energy.
An excess of fire-attribute spiritual power makes one vulnerable to the restraint of water.
Li Xuan immediately understood.
"Chieftain!"
"Attack his right shoulder!"
Li Tianheng roared, forcefully gathering his remaining spiritual power, and unleashed a slash!
The blade's aura cleaved through the rain, like a white ribbon stretching across the sky!
Wang Xuanhu's expression changed slightly. He parried with his sword, but due to an old injury on his right shoulder, he was a beat too slow and was knocked back several feet.
"How did you know?!"
He was filled with shock and anger.
⸻
Li Xuan didn't answer at all, and simply waved his hand.
More than ten barrels of spirit oil in the corner of the courtyard were simultaneously ignited.
The flames spread rapidly along the water on the ground, forming a large area of fire.
The cultivators in the back row of the Wang family were immediately thrown into chaos.
"Fire!"
"Back off!"
"The boots are soaked!"
⸻
Right now.
Li Xuanli shouted:
"Uncle Yuanlie!"
Li Yuanlie burst out from behind the side courtyard wall, laughing wildly.
"I've been waiting for this!"
The spiritual power in his longsword surged, and with a single slash, wind blades howled!
puff!
A mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Wang family was instantly killed and fell to the ground.
The remaining clansmen who were lying in ambush all unleashed their low-level talismans.
Fireball talismans, ice spike talismans, and entanglement talismans exploded one after another.
The Wang family's back row was instantly stunned.
⸻
Wang Xuanhu roared:
"Useless! Hold the line!"
He was just about to turn around and give orders—
Boom!!!
The gates of the Lingqu Canal behind the mountain were opened.
The rainwater mixed with the water from the Lingqu Canal, turning into a raging torrent that rushed into the West Courtyard.
Spiritual water is inherently resistant to fire.
The fire net was not extinguished, but instead turned into mist with the help of water, filling the courtyard with steam.
My vision was completely blurred.
The Wang family cultivators could not see the enemy, but could only hear screams rising and falling.
⸻
Li Xuan stood in the rain, his expression calm.
This is no ordinary battle.
No matter how strong a cultivator is, if they lack formations, resources, and judgment, they will still die.
In family wars, the ultimate test is always comprehensive strength.
⸻
In the fog.
Wang Xuanhu suddenly sensed a murderous intent rising from behind him.
Li Yuanlie leaped out of the mist, his blade slashing straight at his right shoulder!
"Stay here!"
Wang Xuanhu hastily dodged, but still suffered a bloody gash on his shoulder.
At the same time, Li Tianheng launched another direct attack.
A pincer attack from both sides!
Wang Xuanhu finally trembled with fear.
"withdraw!"
"Withdraw completely!"
⸻
But by this time, the Wang family was already in complete chaos.
Some were burned by fire, some were knocked down by the spiritual water, and some were ambushed in the fog.
Where is the imposing manner they had when they arrived?
The Li family members, on the contrary, became bloodthirsty.
"kill!"
"To avenge these three years!"
"Don't run, you treacherous Wang family!"
⸻
Despite taking a blow from Li Tianheng, Wang Xuanhu smashed through the side wall and escaped from his ancestral home, fleeing in panic with his remaining soldiers.
In the rainy night, only venomous roars remained:
"Li Xuan!!!"
"I will definitely kill you!"
Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the broken door and spoke calmly:
See you next time.
"You're the one who'll die."
⸻
The war ended.
The Li family's ancestral home was dilapidated, yet no one mourned its loss.
All the tribespeople were overjoyed.
They won.
A ninth-rank family on the verge of extinction actually repelled the elite forces of the Wang family!
Li Tianheng stared at Li Xuan, speechless for a long time.
Finally, he spoke in a deep voice:
"From this day forward, Li Xuan will make all decisions regarding important family matters."
Everyone was shocked.
He then bowed his head.
"Greetings, Young Clan Chief!"
⸻
A system notification suddenly sounded:
[Clan Guardian Mission Completed]
[Reward: Family Luck +20]
[Reward: One acre of spiritual land undergoes transformation]
[Reward: Increased loyalty among clan members]
[Current family fortune: 23]
[New Mission: Counterattack the Royal Family within Seven Days]
Li Xuan slowly raised his head and looked at the dark spiritual field behind the ancestral home.
What truly propelled the Li family to prominence was not tonight's victory.
It's tomorrow.
After the spirit field is upgraded.
The Li family's era has only just begun.
