Chapter 156 - 153: Asura, Killing Ling Lang

"WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!"

Right at this moment, about thirty masked figures clad in black robes adorned with gold patterns charged into the battlefield, launching an assault on the Ling family’s forces.

These masked figures in black-and-gold robes turned out to be Tongyou Realm experts. Their intervention instantly stabilized the previously one-sided battle, bringing immediate relief to Mo Qianqian, who had been caught in a perilous situation.

"Who are they now? Nearly thirty Tongyou Realm experts?"

The crowd was astonished.

Thirty Tongyou Realm experts! Aside from the three major families and the royal family, what other faction present could muster such a force? And most of the Tongyou Realm experts from the three major families were already on the battlefield.

It went without saying—the royal family had likely intervened.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward the Eldest Prince.

Mo Qianqian wondered in shock, "Has the royal family actually stepped in?"

This aligned perfectly with his previous speculations. The royal family would certainly not sit idly by and allow these two powerful factions to unite through marriage. Of course, Mo Qianqian was completely unaware that the imposter, Cheng Zifeng, had approached the royal family.

"I knew this marriage alliance would go wrong! A massive brawl has broken out!"

"Dozens, even hundreds of Tongyou Realm experts clashing—what a spectacular scene!"

"The Slaughterer with the Evil Blade is so strong! He actually sent Lingyun Shan flying. If this drags on, the Ling family will definitely be wiped out by him."

Some spectators focused their attention on the Slaughterer with the Evil Blade because the balance of power on his side of the battlefield had completely tipped in his favor. However, Lingyun Shan, who had been knocked away, quickly returned with two Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm experts. They launched a coordinated attack, finally managing to pin down the Slaughterer with the Evil Blade.

"SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!"

At this moment, Mo Qianqian was deeply entrenched in the chaotic melee. But as long as he wasn’t surrounded and ganged up on, his lethality was unquestionable.

His Spirit Body launched a direct assault, snapping the neck of an Elder in the Early-stage Realm of Communication with Ghosts before slaughtering several high-level Spirit Profound Realm cultivators in quick succession.

In the midst of the chaotic brawl, a Spirit Master slaughtered enemies as easily as slicing vegetables!

"Patriarch Lie, Yu Wen Family Master! This man caused the death of one of your Grand Elders and severely injured another! Why aren’t you attacking him yet?"

Patriarch Ling, who was currently bogged down in a fight with an old man, roared urgently. The longer this dragged on, the heavier the casualties the Ling family would suffer.

The members of the Lie Family and the Yuwen Family—especially the Lie Family—truly felt the urge to rush forward and kill that balding old man, as the Lie Family’s Grand Elder had been trapped and killed in the Black Demon Ridge. However, since neither patriarch had given the order, no one dared to charge forward.

"All families affiliated with the Ling family, attack now! Otherwise, face the consequences!" Patriarch Ling’s thunderous shout echoed across the arena.

The minor factions present were startled. There were a good twenty or thirty small families affiliated with the Ling family. Of course, these factions were similar to the Luo Family of Luocheng. Each had only two or three Tongyou Realm experts, and they were merely at the early stage. Their individual combat prowess wasn’t exceptionally strong, but their advantage lay in their sheer numbers.

The patriarchs of these minor factions exchanged glances. Eventually, someone issued the command, "High-level Spirit Profound Realm and Tongyou Realm cultivators, charge!"

Following that, aside from a few who held back, over twenty small families from Central Earth entered the fray, each contributing a handful of fighters.

"Ye Xiao Conglomerate!" Patriarch Ling didn’t stop there; he turned his gaze toward Ye Xiao. "Ye Xiao Conglomerate, heed my command! Kill Asura!"

Ye Xiao immediately shouted his orders. He activated his own Spirit Body, appearing near Mo Qianqian to launch an attack. Luo Wushuang and Zhang Yongjun also summoned their Spirit Bodies and joined the assault.

A Fifth Level of Tongyou Realm expert, the old man at the Third Level of Tongyou Realm who had previously changed sides, and dozens of fighters from the Ye Xiao Conglomerate surged forward. Beneath the major families, this was considered an incredibly formidable force.

As the battlefield expanded, the surrounding spectators frantically retreated outward.

The Ling family’s Martial Arts Arena was vast. It could easily accommodate not just a few hundred people, but even a massive battle involving thousands. It was just that with so many fighters swarming Mo Qianqian, the area around him had become densely packed.

"Asura Conglomerate! Anyone willing to follow me, Mo Qianqian, come forth and fight!" Mo Qianqian bellowed. He didn’t force anyone. But if they were unwilling to step up now, there would be little use for them in the future.

"Charge!" Shi Muyao shouted as she took the lead and charged into the fray.

Pei Hong glanced at the Yuling Sect Master. Seeing that the Sect Leader remained silent, she also yelled, "Charge!"

Instantly, dozens of fighters rushed into the battle. Aside from Lieqi, who stood with the Lie Family, and Yu Wenjingfeng, who remained with the Yuwen Family, surprisingly, everyone else charged in.

This exceeded Mo Qianqian’s expectations. The Asura Conglomerate’s numbers were no less than the Ye Xiao Conglomerate’s, and their overall combat prowess was actually superior. Once the Asura Conglomerate’s forces joined the fight, the Ye Xiao Conglomerate’s impact was almost entirely neutralized.

At this time, the imposter Cheng Zifeng and Zhongli Xuan also joined the battle. They stood on Mo Qianqian’s side, fighting against the Ling family’s forces. Now, with even more people involved, the melee grew increasingly chaotic and massive.

However, lacking top-tier combatants, even with a large number of people besieging Mo Qianqian, it was difficult to kill him swiftly. Mo Qianqian’s current strength allowed him to hold his own against someone at the Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm. Coupled with the unpredictable nature of a Spirit Master, he was exceedingly difficult to eliminate.

"Asura! Killing Ling Lang!"

At this moment, one of the masked figures in black-and-gold robes yelled out to Mo Qianqian. Hearing this, Mo Qianqian roughly understood the other party’s intention.

Killing Ling Lang would end the marriage alliance with the Tai Xuan Academy!

Ling Lang wasn’t participating in the battle because he was heavily injured, but he stood on the edge of the battlefield. His eyes were fixed on Mo Qianqian, ready to strike at a moment’s notice. As for the masked figures in black-and-gold robes, they also wanted to fight their way over. However, they weren’t Spirit Masters. They couldn’t launch a direct sneak attack on Ling Lang because there were simply too many people blocking their path.

"SWISH!"

Mo Qianqian didn’t hesitate. After his Spirit Body sent a man flying with a single strike, he immediately made it vanish. The very next moment, it materialized right beside Ling Lang.

Ling Lang was currently the most gifted genius of the Ling family and the key figure in the marriage alliance. Furthermore, given Ling Lang’s mindset, he was bound to try and kill Mo Qianqian to avenge Ling Qingxue. It would be better to kill Ling Lang first and deal with the rest later!

Mo Qianqian’s Spirit Body manifested a cluster of a unique substance in its palm and thrust it toward Ling Lang.

"BAM!"

Right at that moment, an Elder of the Ling family threw himself in front of the Spirit Body, taking the brunt of the strike meant for Ling Lang.

"HISS!"

The Ling family Elder’s body was shattered by the impact. The moment the Spirit Body’s Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source touched his bones, it rapidly corroded them. The Elder collapsed instantly, melting into a lump of paralyzed flesh.

At this, several members of the Ling family immediately clustered around Ling Lang to protect him. Of course, people near Mo Qianqian were also starting to exert their full strength.

"Dean Qiu!"

At this time, Patriarch Ling looked toward the dean of the Tai Xuan Academy.

"Causing trouble on the day my Tai Xuan Academy marries off a disciple... Kill them all," Dean Qiu declared in a deep voice. These words sent a shockwave through the crowd.

The Tai Xuan Academy was entering the fray!

Mo Qianqian’s expression changed. The Tai Xuan Academy had made its move. Where was the Sect Leader of the Vast Sect? The day before he arrived, he had prepared by crushing the Token given to him by the Vast Sect Leader. If they didn’t show up soon, he would be in grave danger.

"Charge!"

The members of the Tai Xuan Academy shouted in unison as their forty or fifty-strong force surged forward. Moreover, within this group, a staggering thirty-plus individuals were at the Tongyou Realm. Even Nangong Ling charged into the battle.

"WHOOSH!"

Dean Qiu himself finally made his move. With a blur of motion, he headed straight for Mo Qianqian.
