Chapter 50: Soul enslavement

Everyone picked up their own opponents Swiftly. An old man from the side of Zhan family came forward to block the Gu family patriarch.

Fire torches were lit in all over the Zhan family estate. Everyone could see the appearance of their opponents.

"Gu Hanshan, your opponent is me", the old man said in a hoarse voice.

"Old man Qiang, you are not dead yet!", the Gu patriarch yelled out in a surprised voice.

"Not before sending you to hell" old man Qiang grinned.

Gu Hanshan, receive this strike of my sword", old man Qiang roared out. He swung his sword and an air blade came out from his sword. It appeared Infront of the Gu family patriarch within a moment.

"Dream on", Gu family patriarch yelled and swung his sword towards the air blade. The air blade was cut in half but he had to take two steps back to stabilize himself.

"Peak stage of True essence realm!", Gu family patriarch exclaimed. A stern expression appeared on his face after seeing through the cultivation level of old man Qiang.

Battle between other people were also heated at this moment. There were almost seventy Meridian opening realm warriors of the Gu family who were fighting with the Zhan family guards. 

Zhan Qingyue was also fighting in the battle. She was fighting with a peak stage Meridian opening realm warrior of the Gu family.

There was a large crowd gathered in the surrounding of the Zhan family estate. Although the darkness was obstructing everyone's vision but they were still curious to know the result of this battle.

Strength was respected in the cultivation world and it was not different for the people of the Red cloud kingdom. Everyone wanted to know the result of the war between the Gu family and the Zhan family.

"Father, what do you think? Can the Zhan family stop the attack of the Gu family", a pretty looking girl looked towards the middaged man standing infront of her.

She was Lin Rou. The young miss of the Lin family if the Red cloud kingdom. The person standing next to her was Lin Wang, the patriarch of the Lin family.

"It is difficult. Although the situation is balanced now but the true battle is yet to start. I can sense the aura of five other True essence realm experts who are still hiding in the dark. This is the reason why the Zhan family warriors are not going all out", Lin Wang spoke calmly.

"Then can you help the Zhan family? After all our Lin family has a deep relationship with them?", Lin Rou asked with concern.

"He..he, looks like miss Rou has a deep concern for the Zhan family. But you can rest assure, no one dare help the Zhan family at this moment", a snickering voice came from the side.

Lin Wang who was standing like a spear frowned slightly but didn't say anything. Instead it was Lin Rou who started shouting at the person who just interrupted her conversation with her father.

"Chen Wei, what do you mean? If you are really brave, you can go and fight big sis Qingyue", Lin Rou yelled.

"That bitch! She will stop being arrogant after today's battle", Chen Wei snickered.

"Zhan family warriors can't stall anymore. Looks like they have started to go all out", Lin Wang muttered. He had no interest in the squabble between the younger generation. His calm gaze was focused on the distant battle.

"Greetings big brother Wang, how is it going? Is there any hope for Zhan family?", a middle aged man spoke after coming near him.

"Xu Hao, you have also come", the middle aged man nodded his head at the person who just greeted him. His gaze fell upon a fatty who was standing next to Xu Hao.

"Nephew Wenhong has also come. But our concern is useless as we can't lend our hands to the Zhan family. Except royal family, the Red cloud kingdom has another four powerful families. But after today, the situation may change", Lin Wang spoke after seeing the concerned expression of the fatty, Xu Wenhong.

"Big brother Wang is right. Zhan family, Gu family, Lin family and my Xu family are hailed as the most powerful families of the Red cloud kingdom. Many powerful families tried to overthrow these four but their attempts remained unsuccessful. But after tonight's battle, they may have a chance", Xu Hao nodded his head. He looked at the direction where the battle was going on and a hint of concern appeared on his mature looking face.

"Li Hao, no matter how capable you are, you will die today", Gu Xuan shouted. His eyes were sinister as he looked at a miserable looking Li Hao. They had already exchanged more than hundred blows and Li Hao could barely resist the tyrannical strikes of Gu Xuan.

"Gu Xuan, don't be so pleased. I will stop you today no matter what the price is", Li Hao spoke and launched a sword attack at Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan easily countered his all out attack. "Uncle Zhu, please come out", he shouted in a low voice. Li Hao felt uneasy as he took a step to his side. A old man came out from the dark and stood at the side of Gu Xuan.

"Li Hao, let's see. How you can escape again?", Gu Xuan snickered.

"Uncle Zhu, please attack with me", he spoke and launched an attack towards Li Hao. 

Li Hao felt despair as he looked at the two experts of the Gu family. He clenched his sword and decided to stake everything.

But at this moment, an unusual change happened. Uncle Zhu who was supposed to attack him, stabbed his sword in the chest of Gu Xuan.

"Uncle Zhu, you!", Gu Xuan could utter this much before his lifeless body fell on the ground.

Similar incidents started to occur and a chaotic situation appeared in the battlefield. Some allies of the Gu family turned against them and casualities started to appear in the side of the Gu family. Zhan family experts felt confused but they started to find opportunities for them in this choatic situation.

"Forming the pseudo soul is indeed the best choice. Otherwise soul enslavement would have taken a heavy toll on my soul", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.

"I am going", Zhan Chen spoke and dashed forward towards the gate of Zhan family estate. 

"Wait", Shen Ruyan shouted anxiously but Zhan Chen was already in a distance away from her.
