Chapter 3

That was why Chu Tianyang risked entering the Jiuxiao Mountain Range to seek the opportunity to break through to a Third-rank Martial Master.

He didn't expect to be ambushed by the Ma family's Great Elder, Ma Zhiyong, shortly after entering, which left him severely injured.

Afterward, he fled to the vicinity of the cold pool,

which led to the scene at the beginning!

"So arrogant?"

"They don't take me seriously at all!"

Long Yuan snorted coldly.

Were these guys blind, or did they think he was just a decoration?

Could they not see his current size of over 160 meters?

Or did they think he was just a paper tiger?

His massive tail swept across instantly, bringing with it a whistling wind, as if it had the power to sweep away an army.

With a crisp sound,

the Second-rank spiritual long sword was instantly snapped in two.

In Ma Zhiyong's horrified gaze,

the blue giant tail, like a pillar supporting the sky, crashed into his chest.

In an instant, his ribs shattered,

and his internal organs were completely pulverized!

"How can this be?"

Ma Zhiyong widened his eyes,

spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.

His body arched like a shrimp and flew backward like a cannonball, smashing directly into a large tree behind him, and he completely lost all signs of life.

"Great Elder?"

The others who followed behind stopped in their tracks, exclaiming.

The Great Elder, a Second-rank Martial Warrior, was knocked away by a single strike from the opponent?

They had not yet realized that their Great Elder had already met his end.

"The rest should be no problem for you, right?"

Long Yuan asked, looking at Chu Tianyang.

"Thank you, Senior, for your help. Leave these small fries to me!"

The rest were only First-rank Martial Artists,

and he didn't take them seriously at all.

Picking up the broken sword from the ground,

Chu Tianyang charged forward.

Screams rang out, accompanied by heads flying off in terror, blood spraying wildly, and figures falling to the ground.

In just a moment,

over a dozen First-rank Martial Artists were all dead!

Chu Tianyang took a deep breath,

came before Long Yuan, cupped his fists, and bowed: "Thank you, Senior, for your help! My Chu family will remember your kindness forever!"

Not long ago,

after his cultivation broke through and his bloodline underwent atavism, Long Yuan appeared before Chu Tianyang in a brand-new form, scaring the latter into thinking that the demon beast parents who had made the Great Dao oath with him had arrived,

after all, his size had changed drastically!

When they met yesterday, he was only about ten meters long,

but now, overnight, he had become such a behemoth.

Chu Tianyang was almost scared paralyzed!

It was only after Long Yuan's explanation that he learned the other party had undergone bloodline atavism!

Chu Tianyang knew about bloodline atavism;

for both demon beasts and humans, it was a rare opportunity.

He also hoped that their Chu family would one day have a Martial Artist with bloodline atavism!

"No matter. Since I have become the guardian beast of your Chu family, I shall naturally protect you all."

"Also, there is no need to call me Senior every time; you can call me 'Demon God'!"

Long Yuan said calmly.

"Yes! Lord Demon God!"

Long Yuan said: "Then let's head straight back to Qingyang Town!"

He couldn't wait to get the Dragon Emperor Hall!

Chu Tianyang nodded.

With a Fourth-rank Demon Sect guardian beast,

what was the small Ma family worth?

PS:

Realm classification:

First-rank Martial Artist/Lesser Demon, Second-rank Martial Warrior/Demon Warrior, Third-rank Martial Master/Demon Master, Fourth-rank Martial Sect/Demon Sect, Fifth-rank Martial King/Demon King, Sixth-rank Martial Emperor/Demon Emperor, Seventh-rank Martial Venerable/Demon Venerable, Eighth-rank Martial Saint/Demon Saint, Ninth-rank Martial Emperor/Demon Emperor.

Qingyang Town is located at the foot of the Jiuxiao Mountain Range,

a small town with only a few tens of thousands of people!

In the center of the town is a circular lake, and all buildings are built around the lake, making for a pleasant landscape!

The three major families—the Chu, Ma, and Zhao families—are located in three directions around the lake,

presenting a three-legged balance of power!

But at this moment,

the Zhao family territory is a river of blood,

with corpses everywhere and the stench of blood permeating the air.

Thousands of Zhao family members have been slaughtered completely.

Not only did their Second-rank Martial Warrior ancestor and clan leader die in the process, but even three-year-old children were not spared!

The Zhao family of Qingyang Town has been exterminated!

As for the Chu family territory,

a large number of corpses also lie scattered on the ground,

and blood has stained the earth red!

But fortunately, they were not exterminated; more than half of the clan members remain, surrounded by Ma family disciples within their territory.

This is because they have not yet killed the escaped ancestor, Chu Tianyang, and are worried about his future crazy revenge.

Moreover, these people can be used as hostages to force him to appear!

The meticulous Ma Bangguo ordered

that once Chu Tianyang's corpse is seen, it will not be too late to execute all his clansmen!

At this time, inside a magnificent hall in the Ma family territory,

Ma Bangguo, dressed in gray with a ruddy complexion, is slowly sipping tea.

Suddenly, he frowns and asks: "Is there still no news of Chu Tianyang?"

"Reporting to the ancestor, news just came in that Chu Tianyang was severely injured by the Great Elder and is currently being hunted down!"

"I believe it won't be long before Chu Tianyang's corpse is brought back!"

The clan leader, Ma Changsheng, said respectfully.

"Very good. From now on, this Qingyang Town will be in the pocket of my Ma family!"

Ma Bangguo narrowed his eyes.

Only by completely controlling Qingyang Town in his hands

can he safely and boldly explore that secret realm; otherwise, he will never be at ease!

"It's bad, Clan Leader, someone has broken in!"

Just then,

several Ma family members rushed in, terrified.

"Presumptuous! How can you be so panicked in front of the ancestor?"

Ma Changsheng scolded the few who rushed in.

But seeing them covered in blood, he frowned and asked: "What exactly happened?"

"Clan Leader, Chu Tianyang has broken into our Ma family!"

"What did you say?"

"Chu Tianyang of the Chu family has broken into our family, and many clansmen have already been killed!"

Ma Bangguo narrowed his eyes,

and asked suspiciously: "Just him alone?"

"Yes, Ancestor, just him alone!"

Ma Bangguo stood up abruptly and said coldly: "It seems Chu Tianyang has been pushed to the edge. Since he delivered himself to my door, for the sake of our long acquaintance, I will personally send you to hell!"

He intended to personally crush the old brain of this old acquaintance who had been competing with him for hundreds of years!

"An... Ancestor!"

Suddenly, Ma Changsheng's expression changed, his legs were trembling, and he looked at the eaves behind the ancestor in terror.

A giant blue python of massive size was coiled there, and he didn't know when it had appeared?

"What's wrong?"

Ma Bangguo frowned and turned around.

But what greeted him was a bloody mouth.

Before he could make any reaction,

the large mouth bit directly onto his neck, and the massive body fell from the eaves, instantly wrapping around him.

Never fight head-on if you can ambush;

this was the experience Long Yuan had accumulated over the years as a demon beast.

"Demon beast?"

Ma Bangguo roared in shock,

exerting force all over his body, and the spiritual energy in his body surged out like sharp swords slashing at the giant python.

But a thin film of ice-blue spiritual energy appeared on the giant python's body, its defense indestructible. This was a method only a Third-rank Martial Master could possess, possessing powerful defensive capabilities that even a Second-rank Martial Warrior could not break!

Ma Bangguo's attacks slashed against the giant python, making a series of crisp clashing sounds,

but only sparks were splashed!

Seeing this,

Ma Bangguo was suddenly terrified.

"Third-rank Demon Master?"

This giant python was actually a Third-rank Demon Master?

He hurriedly roared, and a layer of crimson, flame-burning spiritual energy cloak appeared outside his body, using the same Third-rank Martial Master methods as his opponent!

Bang!

But it was only for an instant,

the spiritual energy cloak exploded, and Ma Bangguo, who was being wrapped, felt the immense force coming from the giant python and couldn't help but scream!

"Ancestor!"

Ma Changsheng screamed in terror.

Was this giant python actually so powerful?

Even the Third-rank Martial Master ancestor was no match?

"Senior Giant Python, I don't know how my Ma family has offended you, but please show mercy, Senior!"

Ma Bangguo coughed up a mouthful of blood and roared.

He felt his internal organs were about to be crushed!

This was definitely an existence with strength exceeding his own.

"Hmph! I am the guardian beast of the Chu family. You ask how you have offended me?"

A low voice came from Long Yuan's mouth.

What?

The Ma family members were all trembling.

Chu family guardian beast?

A Fourth-rank Demon Sect that can speak human language?

How is that possible?

How could the Chu family have such a foundation?

"Senior, spare my life! Whatever benefits the Chu family gave you, our Ma family is willing to offer ten times over!"

Ma Bangguo roared.

"Too late!"

Long Yuan snorted coldly.

He had already made an oath with Chu Tianyang,

and it could not be changed!

What is this?

This is fate!

The powerful spiritual energy in his body erupted,

biting fiercely into his neck, and the violent ice power poured madly into the opponent's body.

Ma Bangguo naturally would not surrender without a fight,

but his fire-attribute spiritual energy was suppressed by Long Yuan's ice-attribute spiritual energy, leaving him with no power to resist.

After just a moment,

Ma Bangguo was frozen directly into a blue crystal ice sculpture,

and under Long Yuan's massive body,

it exploded with a bang!

Ma Changsheng, who witnessed this scene, was scared silly,

and the whole person stood frozen in place!

"Clan Leader, run! As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood!"

The people around were the first to react, drawing the swords from their waists and charging toward the giant python.

They wanted to buy a chance for the clan leader to escape!

At the moment the ancestor died,

all the advantages of their Ma family were gone!

However, the aggressive men were killed in one strike by the tail Long Yuan swung over!

The corpses hit Ma Changsheng, waking him up.

Just as he was preparing to retreat,

he bumped into the blood-covered Chu Tianyang.

"Clan Leader Ma, where are you going?"

Chu Tianyang's cold voice sounded as if it came from a cold hell.

"Chu Tianyang!"

At this time, Ma Changsheng had no will to fight at all.

With that terrifying giant python lurking behind him, he had no chance of winning at all!

"Chu Tianyang, do you dare to fight me to the death?"

With no other options, Ma Changsheng could only roar.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Little brat, I will personally send you to hell!"

Enemies are especially jealous when they meet,
