Chapter 21

Ninth place! Amazing, with the support of my brothers and sisters, I actually made it to ninth place. But the ones behind are catching up quickly, I don’t want to be overtaken, everyone please help! There’s still one more chapter today, don’t go away!

Xu Ziyang was surprised to see that the people in the clan had not even figured out the situation of the monsters outside the city before daring to rush out. Standing beside her, Xu Qinxue saw Xu Ziyang’s surprised expression and said with a light laugh:

"Sister Ziyang, you just arrived in the capital city not long ago. The clan leader and Uncle Jiu have been competing for a lifetime. Since they have started arguing, neither will back down. They both went out, how can their disciples retreat? Besides, we can’t see the situation outside the city clearly, but the clan leader and Uncle Jiu are both Foundation Establishment experts. How could they not see the situation clearly? And act rashly?"

Xu Ziyang found Xu Qinxue’s words reasonable. She thought about her current realm and realized she might not understand the actions of those experts. Considering that Xu Haoran, as the clan leader, was at the third level of Foundation Establishment and had considerable skills, including the ability to fly with a sword, even if he couldn’t defeat the monsters, he wouldn’t be in much danger. This slightly eased her mind, as she had already chosen to support the clan leader, so it was natural for her to worry about him.

Outside the city, the sounds of various spells and the shouts of people mixed with the roars of the monsters. The disciples below the sixth level of Qi Condensation watched the scene outside the city with tension.

As soon as Xu Haoran and Xu Haoliang rushed out of the city, they led their disciples in two directions, charging towards the monsters.

Xu Haoran stood in the air and shouted:

"Go!"

The flying sword under his feet shot out suddenly, instantly piercing through the head of a monster, bursting into a blood flower. The flying sword spun and shot towards another monster, causing the one behind to collapse with a mournful cry.

Xu Haoliang was no less determined. The flying sword under his feet also shot out, instantly bursting the head of a monster and shooting towards another.

The disciples were still at the Qi Condensation realm and could not fly in the air. They descended on their flying swords, holding their swords and charging towards the monsters.

Xu Haoran was very brave. As his flying sword darted through the air, countless monsters fell dead. Moreover, Xu Haoran had more disciples than Xu Haoliang, so his side quickly gained the upper hand and began to slaughter the monsters.

Xu Haoliang, seeing this from the air, became anxious. If he fell too far behind Xu Haoran in this monster-slaying operation, he would have no face to compete with Xu Haoran in the future. He couldn’t care about his dignity anymore and shouted loudly to his disciples below:

"Kill them fiercely! Anyone who retreats will die! Those who kill more monsters will be rewarded!"

Xu Haoliang’s cultivation was not much lower than Xu Haoran’s. Once he got serious, the monsters below suffered.

The disciples, seeing Xu Haoran’s anger, had no choice but to shout and charge into the monster horde. Snow was falling heavily, the night was dark, and the roads were slippery with thick snow. As the disciples charged, they completely lost their formation and fought individually.

Xu Haoran’s gaze swept through the monsters. As the clan leader, he naturally knew the principle of "capture the king to capture the thief." He was looking for the king among the more than a thousand monsters.

In the middle of the monsters, a lion-headed tiger-bodied monster was emitting different howls, guiding the more than a thousand monsters to counterattack forcefully. Soon, Xu family disciples began to suffer casualties.

This lion-headed tiger-bodied monster was clearly the leader of the more than a thousand monsters. Its position was closer to Xu Haoliang. While commanding the monsters to attack the Xu family disciples, its gaze was focused on Xu Haoliang in the air. Why? Because Xu Haoliang was closer to the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster. The lion-headed tiger-bodied monster stared at Xu Haoliang in the air, completely unaware of Xu Haoran behind it.

It didn’t notice Xu Haoran, but Xu Haoran noticed it. The lion-headed tiger-bodied monster was fiercely staring at Xu Haoliang, preparing to shoot out its inner core to sneak attack Xu Haoliang.

At that moment, the snow was falling heavily, and Xu Haoran, dressed in dark robes, blended into the night, almost invisible. It wasn’t until he rushed to the side of the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster that it felt a threatening aura approaching.

The lion-headed tiger-bodied monster was unprepared, while Xu Haoran was prepared for a surprise attack. The lion-headed tiger-bodied monster suddenly turned its head, eyes wide with shock, seeing a blurry figure in the night sky. A point of sword light suddenly enlarged in its vision. Before it could react, the sword light had already pierced through its forehead.

Seeing the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster collapse, Xu Haoran thought it was a fourth-level monster. He originally planned to have the disciples dissect the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster to see if it had an inner core. But seeing that the ninth uncle was rushing towards him, he was worried that the ninth uncle would snatch the inner core. A fourth-level monster’s inner core was extremely precious to cultivators. It could be used to refine medicines, significantly enhancing a cultivator’s realm, especially when breaking through bottlenecks.

Therefore, Xu Haoran quickly landed by the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster’s corpse, pointed his sword, and the flying sword in the air cut open the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster’s abdomen. He reached out, and indeed, an inner core flew out of the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster’s abdomen and landed in Xu Haoran’s hand.

Seeing Xu Haoran put the inner core into his storage bag, Xu Haoliang, who had already rushed over, stiffened. At that moment, a black snake about a foot long suddenly shot up into the sky, like a black lightning bolt, biting Xu Haoran’s ankle.

Xu Haoran swung his sword, and the black snake was instantly cut into several pieces. Xu Haoran laughed and turned to kill the remaining monsters, leaving Xu Haoliang standing in the air, stunned.

With the death of the lion-headed tiger-bodied monster, the monsters lost their leader and fell into chaos. The Xu family disciples quickly gained the upper hand. Xu Haoran, in high spirits after obtaining a fourth-level monster’s inner core, continuously killed more than ten monsters with his flying sword.

Standing in the air, Xu Haoliang watched Xu Haoran’s prowess and angrily grunted, venting his anger on the monsters. His flying sword was as fast as a flash of light, and monsters kept falling wherever the light flashed.

The monsters began to retreat, fleeing for their lives. Xu Haoran laughed and shouted, "Disciples, follow me and chase them!"

Thus, led by Xu Haoran, nearly two thousand Xu family members thundered after the fleeing monsters.

An hour later, all the monsters except those that escaped were killed by the Xu family disciples. They carried the bodies, heading towards the city gate. The city gate guards had already opened the gate, and the civilians, knowing that the Xu family had won in the north of the city, gathered on both sides of the road, cheering excitedly.

But Xu Haoran, in the air, frowned slightly.
