Chapter 446: Chapter 248: In a Moment, All Things Become the Sword_2

There had been a glimmering chance, albeit slim, to make further advancements and possibly ascend to the Transcendent Spirit Sect. However, the highly anticipated Dai Yingying, who was supposed to carry those hopes, was murdered.

The murderer has yet to be punished, and to add to that, their treasury has been robbed and the Refining God Heavenly Man has been slain.

They have plummeted from a second-rate noble family to a third-rate one.

With the Spirit Sect and the noble families’ ranks influencing their power and access to resources, the demoted Dixon family slowly lost its resources that once belonged to their second-rate status, leaving them instead with the meager pool that matched third-rate families.

The only hope for redemption was to regain their second-rate status.

Now, any aspirations within the Dai family to elevate their status back to a second-rate noble family seem to rely heavily on Dai Sheng. Their chance of nurturing another Refining God Heavenly Man is scarce; their only hope is for Dai Sheng to make further advancements and surpass the mid-stage of the Refining God Heavenly Man.

However, each advancement within the Refining God Heavenly Man stage was no easy feat. It is hard to imagine the difficulty of cultivating the Divine Soul, and any hope for near-term progress seems dire.

For the Dai clan, remaining a third-rate family wouldn’t be so bad, at least they still counted as a noble family. Moreover, they still had Dai Sheng, the Refining God Heavenly Man.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong have been secretly observing the Dai family for many days.

Having gained a clear understanding of the Dai family’s strength and the whereabouts of their remaining treasury.

Of course, discovering any additional secret treasure hoards remained impossible for the time being.

“The Dai family is not weak and possesses quite a few powerful Heavenly Men. Are you confident, junior brother?”

Xu Yan asked seriously.

“Senior brother, rest assured. Once I enter the Dai family, I will manifest my Six-Zhang Golden Body. Neither the Heavenly Man nor a spiritual artifact can penetrate my Indestructible Divine Armor.

“I’ll first seize their treasury before dealing with them. As for senior brother, Dai Sheng, the Refining God Heavenly Man, is no easy opponent.”

Meng Chong spoke in a deep voice.

“I have a measure of Dai Sheng’s strength. We clashed swords once before. My current strength has improved substantially compared to last time. Moreover, I have advanced to the Heart Sword Realm.

“Even if I cannot defeat Dai Sheng, he cannot do much harm to me either.”

Xu Yan confidently asserted.

Yu Xiaolong was coiled around Xu Yan’s wrist, it thought these two brothers were truly insane, plotting to raid a noble family with just the two of them.

If they managed to succeed, it would send tremors throughout the entire Yuzhou.

The Yu Shen Sect and the Su Family would undoubtedly fall into sleepless nights.

“Beware of other noble families or the Spirit Sects coming to their aid. Many of these noble families are interconnected by marriage alliances. Once a family faces the threat of annihilation, other noble families will undoubtedly come to their aid for the sake of their family honor.”

Yu Xiaolong cautioned.

“That won’t be a big problem. Neither the Yu Shen Sect nor the Su Family would ever think we’d dare to attack the Dai Family. By the time the other experts rush over, we would have cleaned up and left.”

Xu Yan coldly chuckled.

Killing Dai Sheng doesn’t matter. Raiding the Dai family’s treasury would suffice as payback.

“You’ll be responsible for cleaning out the treasury.”

Xu Yan grabbed Yu Xiaolong and stuffed him into Meng Chong’s pocket, giving his instructions.

“I’ll do my best to clean it out.”

Yu Xiaolong nodded.

At this point, they had no other option but to fight. There was no going back. Unless it decided to abandon Xu Yan, it wouldn’t have a chance to obtain the Great Demon technique.

Moreover, it found the venture quite exciting at the moment! They were going to raid a noble family! This would certainly cause a sensation in the Martial Arts world.

The night descended!

Dai Sheng was in meditation when he suddenly felt a chill. He abruptly opened his eyes.

“We’re under attack!”

An elder from the Dai family roared.

Roar!

A Golden Giant Dragon descended and demolished a building. A figure flew out from the rubbles.

“If you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish!”

Dai Sheng brandished a spiritual artifact, a long knife, in his hand.

With a swing of the knife, the blade light spread across the night sky. The might of a Refining God Heavenly Man resounded in all directions.

Xu Yan parried with a sword technique. The Sudden Wind Sword Intent roiled, meeting the force of Dai Sheng’s Divine Soul, even suppressing it slightly.

This left Dai Sheng unable to exert the full strength of his Divine Soul.

Dai Sheng’s expression changed dramatically. He felt a heavy pressure on his Divine Soul. He hastily started his Cultivation Technique to condense his Divine Soul, knowing that the slightest negligence would surely damage it.

“What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?”

Dai Sheng thought warily.

His Divine Soul power seemed to be hit by a gale. It swayed occasionally, and his divine soul power, which originally dominated everything, had lost its innate might.

Boom!

Xu Yan’s eyes were cold. “Old ghost of the Dai family, behold my sword!”

Mountains and rivers appeared, thunder rumbled and Xu Yan struck one sword attack after another, clashing heavily with Dai Sheng.

Dai Sheng was shocked. The last time Xu Yan and he had crossed swords, he was far from being a match and had ended up fleeing desperately. But how much time had passed since then?

Could his cultivation have progressed this horrifyingly fast?

“He’s neither at the Refining God Stage nor the Merging God Stage; his Cultivation Technique seems to be unique!”

Dai Sheng’s killing intent rose in his heart. Regardless of anything tonight, he had to eliminate this menace before him, or else the future troubles would be endless.

With his rate of power increase, wouldn’t he soon be out of his league?

Boom!

The glint of swords rippled. At this moment, Dai Sheng couldn’t afford to be the least bit sloppy. Layers upon layers of sword glimmers covered halfway up to the sky, and the power of the Refining God Heavenly Man was undeniably demonstrated.

The elders of the Dai Family, at this moment, were all extremely nervous, fearing that Dai Sheng wouldn’t be able to hold out, and that the Dai Family would be in danger.

A Mother and Child Bead was crushed!

This was a call for help to the allied prominent families and the Spirit Sect.

“The Refining God Heavenly Man is indeed powerful, and cannot be underestimated.”

Xu Yan’s expression was grave.

He had achieved a Divine Intent State, and he was not far from reaching the small success state of this realm. Yet the Sudden Wind Sword Intent, which was aimed at the Divine Soul, still put him at a disadvantage in his fight with Dai Sheng.

Xu Yan felt the pressure.

“The path of Martial Arts is not a smooth one, it’s a good opportunity to temper oneself!”

Xu Yan showed no fear, his radiating aura shining brightly, as though divine rhythm were being revealed.

Mountain and River Sword Dao was used, one sword after another, continuously improving amidst the battle.

Whoosh!

Two rays of sword light burst out, transforming into a Sword Ring, sweeping towards Dai Sheng!

Life and Death Sword Ring!

The fierce battle was in full swing and fully occupied Dai Sheng, with no time to divide his attention. Meng Chong made his move!

Boom!

A golden armored giant descended from the sky, resembling a god, causing the elders of Dai Family to break out in cold sweats.

Meng Chong, transformed into a giant figure, cast his Indestructible Armor. It was as if a golden armor covered his whole body, shining with blazing radiance, like a burning golden flame.

He ignored the elders and charged straight towards one of the treasure houses.

“Stop him quickly!”

The group of elders roared feverishly.

All the Great Heavenly Man elders made their moves, their powerful strength pouring out.

However, they could not inflict much damage on the giant’s body.

The armor was damaged for only an instant, then it returned to its original state!

Boom!

A giant fist, carrying the force of wind and thunder, was thrown out!

Thud!

The Dai Family’s ancestral shrine was instantly blasted, creating a big hole. The hidden treasure house inside the shrine was opened instantly.

Whoosh!

Yu Xiaolong swiftly rushed into the treasure house. His body expanded instantly, his mouth wide open, frantically absorbing everything in the treasure house.

Meng Chong turned around, blocking the entrance to the treasure house, keeping off the Dai Family elders.

His fists were thrown out with violent strength, exploding an elder of Great Heavenly Man like crushing a locust.

“Kill!”

The elders of Dai Family, their eyes already crimson, roared as they charged towards Meng Chong!

Although facing a big crowd, Meng Chong remained fearless. He even did not bother to defend, with one fist after another thrown out, terrifying the group of Dai Family elders.

Splat!

Another elder was blasted apart!

At this moment, the elders all felt a sense of despair.

Who is this person?

Where did this golden armored giant come from, were there giants in the Ling Domain?

The defense was too terrifying. Spiritual Artifacts hit him and only broke the golden armor. However, the golden armor recovered instantly.

They could not harm the giant at all!

The opponent did not need to defend, relying solely on his physical strength to resist attacks while they, if careless, would be blasted by a single punch!

The strength of the two parties was not at all on the same level!

“Who are you?”

Dai Sheng’s face changed drastically, he swung out several sword strokes with his powerful strength, forcing Xu Yan to back off a bit, and then turned to deal with the mysterious golden-armored giant!

However, to his shock, Dai Sheng’s expression changed drastically!

No longer caring about the golden-armored giant, he roared angrily. Sword light flashed, forming a sword light shield, defending all around!

At this instant, houses and vegetation were all lifted and turned into sharp swords, attacking from all sides!

Xu Yan, with an indifferent expression, took one step after another forward. Behind him, houses were flying and vegetation was rising into the air. In this moment, above the Dai Family, it was like swords gathering from everywhere!

In a thought, everything becomes a sword!

Fear appeared on Dai Sheng’s face, and a chill ran down his spine. What kind of Cultivation Technique was this?

Where did this monstrous powerhouse come from?
