Chapter 117 - Seven Treasure Clan's crisis: Desperate battle

"The Seven Treasure Clan had flourished all these years under Heaven Dou Empire's protection, it's not normal to follow the strong?" Ning Zhong rhetorically asked "The clan had grown too proud of himself under your leadership, Fengzhi. Causing the clan's downfall" Zhong grinned "I am the clan's savior!" he proclaimed.

"Savior? Don't joke around!" Spat elder Sword "You brought the destruction of the clan"

"Spirit Hall power is limitless, even if you could win the battle, the war would be impossible" Zhong grinned "Don't worry the clan will survive under my new leadership. I'd made a deal with Spirit Hall, the clan is too strong to be left uncontrolled, sacrificing the 90% of our clan, they would let the 10% remaining led by me to be part of Spirit Hall, even giving me the title of elder"

"You're scum!" shouted Xiangxie "You will sacrifice the clan, only for your own ambitious and power"

"Think whatever you want, the reality won't change. Elder Bone is down, now only you three are left to be exterminated" He turned to Fengzhi "It's a pity that your son is not here. I would love to kill myself the little brat that dared to make a joke of myself. For your daughter..." He turned to the crowd of the Seven Treasure Clan's army discovering a pink-haired beautiful girl who stood with a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda supporting the fighters, she was the daughter of Ning Fengzhi and Xiangxie, Ning Rongrong "Spirit Hall would take good care of here. We won't lose the opportunity of a Nine Colored Pagoda"

Fengzhi, Xiangxie and Xin energy exploded in fury "If you dare to touch my children, there won't be any place for you to hide. I will chase you even at the afterlife" shouted angrily Xiangxie, flames roaring around her sword.

"Quit the chat" said Eyu, he turned to Spirit Hall's army "What are you waiting for? Exterminate!"

"Yesssssssssssss" shouted Spirit Hall's army as they charged towards their enemies this time being illuminated by the light of Zhong's group, little by little pushing the enemy gaining grounds.

Eyu's body started shining and a golden aura surged from him, encompassing the other 3. This was a pure strength domain, suppressing the others that could only passively cover themselves in their own domains trying to not be affected "Let this play end" a black ring shined "<8th spirit skill: Gigantification>" his own giant right arm that was over 20 meters long, increased its size, even more, becoming 100 meters long. Eyu's swung his giant arm towards the 3, thrusting his giant claws. Not only its strength and power increased, but even gravity was also created blocking the objective in place, unable to evade the attack.

Elder Sword turned to Xiangxie "Use your 100.000 years skill!" he urged.

Xiangxie clenched her teeth "I can't, I'm only able to use sword art, I have my ring skills sealed" she said a little desperately. Fire exploded from her greatsword, forming a huge sword over 10 meters, even with its huge size it seemed like a little toy against the giant arm.

"Fuck!" Elder Sword's seven swords started emitting a powerful sword qi "<Seven Kill Sword: Kill!>" they were swung in front of him, forming the symbol of death 死, emitting a powerful death intent.

Fengzhi red ring started shining and all the other rings followed "<9th spirit skill: Awakening>!" Nine colored lights shot from his pagoda towards Xiangxie and Xin, their potential exploding, increasing the quality of their energy, for an instant equalling not the spirit power of a rank 98, also it comprehension and quality.

The claws crashed to their swords, shock waves were created, the air trembling at their strength. Using all their strength Xiangxie and Xin finally pushed Eyu's arm away that returned to its previous side.

Even with his spirit skill blocked, Eyu's didn't receive any important injure. On the other side, it couldn't be said the same about the other three. Fengzhi had consumed a great deal of spirit power using his 9th skill that activates all the potential of his pagoda. For Xin and Xiangxie, they received the backslash of cross ranking, blood falling from their lips, not being able to cope with the sudden surge of power.

This battle was quickly turning to Spirit Hall's favor.

<Sometime before, Bai's POV>

Receiving the clan plus Paul's warnings, I needed to help my clan. I turned to Lingling with a sad face "Sorry, Lingling. I won't be able to help you"

She looked at me surprised, worried and in a hurry to help Mei "Why?"

"My family needs me. Sorry" I apologized.

Lingling shook her head "You already helped me. Take care of your problems, I am able to solve this. Run. They will need you"

I nodded at her. White wings emerged from my back and my sword appeared on my right hand, six rings surrounding it. With a flap of the wings, I shot to the sky, the headquarters of my clan my destination. I activated my 3rd skill, my speed arriving at its maxim.

(I pray that it won't be anything too dangerous) I thought while flying.

It didn't take much time for me to arrive at the clan, situated near Star Duo Forest. As I enter the vicinities of the clan I sensed something coming to me. I twisted my body, taking advantage of my speed, I converted that speed in centrifugal force, started spinning over me without stopping.

A huge rock reinforced with spirit energy was approaching to me, without stopping sping like if I was a circular saw a cut the rock from the middle, separating in two equal parts that fell behind me.

More similar projectiles were shot towards me. I, without stopping, continued flying to the clan slicing every rock in my way until I was stopped by an invisible barrier. Somehow an invisible aura was surrounding the clan, I quickly realized that it was formed by wind and only blocked the airspace.

I flew down following the barrier landing at the ground. Once landed I could see two men approaching me. One of them was a man with big muscles that was over 2,20 meters tall, the other one was a young man of average height, less than 30 years with short black hair. It took me some time, but I recognized the young man, he was Ning Fong, the previous elder Zhong's grandson. For the big guy, I recognized the symbol of the Elephant Armored Clan in his clothes.

He grinned at me "It's not the little shit of Bai. Long time not seeing you" he said sarcastically.

"Fong" I spatted "What are you doing here? What had happened at the clan?"

"Like your father, you're too idiot to see what happen" Fong laughed "The clan will be purged, your family tyranny would stop today and you as your family will pay with your death"

"What did you do?" I asked angrily.

"Take it as your last wish" he grinned "We allied with Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall's army is already infiltrated at the clan thanks to our help. Now there must be countless death. I am here ensuring that no one scape. What luck to find you! I will be able to pay you for making me a joke these years ago. For making my grandfather lose his position. Die, Bai!" He signaled to the big guy next to him.

The big guy stepped forward, a spirit of an Armored Elephant manifested at his back surrounded by 7 rings, 2 yellows, 2 purples, and 3 blacks, and armor appearing around him and increasing his size to 2,8 meters.

"Let me present him to you. My partner in this mission, Huang Long. A spirit sage with the Elephant Armored spirit" He started laughing "I know about your weakness, your attack power is lacking. Even if you're able to stop his attack, you won't break through his defense. We only need to wait until you exhaust yourself" Over Fong's hand, a Seven Treasure Pagoda appeared surrounded by 5 rings "That without taking into account the support of a genius like me, rank 51"

Huang Long charged to me, his rings shining increasing his attack power and creating some kind of pressure around me that seemed to try to block my position. All of this supported by Fong's spirit abilities.

"You will pay for this!" I shouted angrily.

I lifted my sword "Light Devour" the seven-colored light from Fong's pagoda was reflected and charged to my sword until Fong's pagoda's light turned off.

"H-how can it be possible?" said Fong nervously, he shook his head "I don't know what trick you did, but you won't be able to win against Long!"

Long charged at me and tried to punch me. I moved my sword surrounded by white light meeting his punch. Long was stopped still, without being able to move me an inch.

"I always wanted to protect the clan" I said seriously "However, scum like you don't deserve Life!" I shouted furiously.

My sword 4 first rings started shining, the started joining between them, forming a black with a tint of red colored one and started shining with intense white light.

These years of training, increased a lot my comprehension of Life and Protection, focusing on defense and support, this didn't mean that I didn't have any means to attack. My sword nature had always been devouring the attributes of its surroundings and empowering myself. Now, plus my Life comprehension I was even able to not only absorb attributes, but I could also even absorb their Life's energy.

"<Life Sword: Devour>" I sliced at Long who didn't expect our strength difference and was unable to put some defense, my sword passing through him, cutting him in half.

"Pam!" Long body fell to the ground immobile, he didn't have any wound in his body, but most of his Life energy was absorbed by me, even if he wasn't dead, he won't be able to move in a while.

I approached Fong, who started trembling scared, even falling to the ground, his legs unable to stand "Do-don't kill me! I was following my grandfather. Young master, please! Don't kill me" he supplicated.

"Die" I calmly said. I swung my sword, this time without any technique, a simple swung, slicing Fong's head that fell to the ground leaving a trail of blood.
