Chapter 52

The drizzle was like silk.

Outside the family's four gates, screams and curses were constant.

Crossbows and cart crossbows fired wildly.

The disciples of the nine families were shaken away in large numbers, and the bluestone road collapsed in places.

Bodies, limbs, and blood splattered everywhere.

Even in "Weiyuan Hall," which was far away, one could feel a tremor and the palpitation of slaughtering life!

Su Wan'er and the other servants closed their eyes, not daring to look.

Heng Xiu, father and son, and others breathed heavily.

Heng Xian also felt uncomfortable in his heart, closed his eyes, and only opened them after a long while: "Presumably the bandits are prepared to die!"

Aunt Heng Yueruo said: "Bandits naturally deserve their crimes, nephew need not have pity!"

"Pity is not the case, I haven't killed anyone, I'm not used to it!" Heng Xian shook his head.

The slaughter outside the four gates continued, and bodies piled up on the ground.

Soon, the nine families reacted, using dense bows and arrows to shoot back at the wall. Although the effect of low against high was not great, it could at least play a role in counter-suppression.

Then they formed a suicide squad, using corpse tactics, dodging cart crossbows and arrow crossbows, flying with swords, and frantically charging at the city gate.

Heng Xian immediately ordered: "Order the family's Condensing Qi disciples to intercept those flying with swords, and use ordinary bows and arrows to cooperate with arrow crossbows and cart crossbows to shoot!"

"Then tell Uncle Heng Wei, if any high-level Condensing Qi cultivators from the other side take action, shoot one hundred rounds of arrow crossbows and cart crossbows, and shoot them down for me!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The messengers left one after another.

Not long after, a fierce battle for the four gates began.

Both sides' ordinary arrow rain came and went.

Condensing Qi cultivators flew with swords to intercept the other side's Condensing Qi cultivators!

Gradually, the Heng Family also suffered casualties!

However, even so, the heads and important elders of the nine families did not take action.

Relying solely on human wave tactics, they could never attack the four gates.

Half an hour.

One hour.

The bodies outside the four gates almost piled up into a mountain.

Miserable and bloody battles were staged everywhere.

Suddenly, the arrow crossbows and cart crossbows on the four gates stopped firing.

Heng Xian frowned slightly.

"Xian'er!"

At this time, Heng Wei was covered in blood, flying over from a distance with a sword, standing outside the window, wiping the blood off his face: "The arrow crossbows and cart crossbows are all used up!

Ordinary arrows are also almost used up! What should we do?"

Heng Xian looked outside the four gates and saw the dark masses of the nine families' disciples, led by the nine family heads and elders flying with swords, slowly pressing up.

The nine families might have also discovered that the Heng Family's lethal weapons were gone, so they took the opportunity to launch a general attack!

"This..."

Behind him, Heng Xiu, Heng De, and the others breathed even heavier, "Xian'er, how do we fight?"

Heng Xian was silent for a full ten breaths: "... Things have come to this, there is no other way. Grandfather go to the front gate, Uncle go to the west gate, Third Uncle go to the east gate, Father go to the north gate,

lead the family disciples, use all terrain to fight to the end, remember to take pills!"

"Yes!" The grandfather and brothers quickly darted out of the window and flew toward the four gates with swords.

In the room, only Heng Xian, Heng Yueruo, and a few servants remained.

Heng Yueruo's voice trembled slightly: "Xian'er, tell Aunt, is there... any hope?"

Heng Xian turned and walked to the side, sat cross-legged: "... I've tried my best, let fate decide!"

"Sigh!" Heng Yueruo sighed, her eyes full of worry, and she didn't speak again.

Time passed slowly, and the screams and shouts in the distance got closer and closer.

Heng Yueruo suddenly said with a trembling voice: "The east gate guarded by your uncle is broken, Aunt is going to help, if something unfortunate happens, tell your uncle... to remarry!"

Saying this, she picked up her wooden wheelchair, leaped out of the window, and headed straight for the east gate.

"Let's follow Aunt!"

"Child, don't go!"

"Mother! Don't pull me!"

"I'm going too!"

"Your cultivation is low, going is just sending yourself to death!"

"The family is gone, it's the same death, I'm going to help Father and the others!"

"That's right!"

Among the illegitimate children and women below, a burst of childish shouting came.

Heng Xian moved to the window and saw hundreds of young illegitimate sons and daughters below holding spiritual weapons, shouting to rush out.

Seeing him look down, everyone bowed in unison: "Young Master Xian!"

Then, without looking back, they rushed into the night.

A group of women and children wailed loudly.

An old woman raised her head, her eyes teary: "Brother Xian, does the family... still have hope?"

Heng Xian smiled lightly with difficulty: "There must be!"

A glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of the group of women and children.

"Kill..."

At this time, a harsh shout came from the distance, the south gate was also broken, and dense figures climbed onto the "city gate."

Several bloody shadows ran over hurriedly from the distance: "Young Master Xian, the south gate is broken, the Clan Head and the City Lord are fighting to the death in the sky, we have lost many people!"

Heng Xian put his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly: "Don't panic, we haven't lost yet. Tell them, abandon the city gate,

bring out all the family's demon beasts, fight in the streets with the other side, use all terrain to resist!"

"Yes!"

Several bloody shadows turned and left.

However, just after a stick of incense passed, the west gate and north gate also fell one after another.

The family's four gates were all planted with other people's flags!

This was a devastating blow to all the Heng family members.

The wailing of the old, weak, women, and children below shook the heavens.

However, crying couldn't solve any problems.

The shouts from all directions were getting closer to the middle!

After another half an hour, an illegitimate son covered in blood ran back from outside the door, roaring ferociously: "Give me a spiritual weapon, I want a spiritual weapon!"

A concubine grabbed him and asked anxiously: "Guangzi, where are my son and the others?"

The illegitimate son snatched a spiritual sword and wiped his face: "Dead! All dead! I'm going!"

He turned and hurried away.

"All dead..."

The group of old, weak, women, and children suddenly stopped crying. The concubine wiped the corner of her eyes and rushed out of the courtyard with a knife.

"We won't live either!" The young wives and concubines around handed the babies in swaddling clothes to others and rushed out with knives and swords.

A large group of half-grown children saw this and also picked up spiritual weapons and followed them out.

The whole clan is fighting, nothing more than this!

"Dongling Pavilion."

The tallest building in Donglan City. Standing in the private room on the top floor, one could see most of the city.

At this time, most of the people from the Artifact Refining Alliance and the Alchemist Alliance were there.

On the other side, Ji Yaoyue, Jiang Ziyi, and others were also there.

The situation at the Heng Family's four gates was like a three-dimensional map, perfectly presented in front of everyone.

Elder Mo asked: "How many casualties have the nine families of Ye, Xiao, and Li suffered?"

Elder Xu shook his head: "Roughly estimated, there must be thirteen or fourteen thousand!"

Elder Mo said with emotion: "A siege and extermination battle of a small family can be fought to this extent, it's really ruthless!"

Elder Xu smiled lightly: "It's not that the nine families of Ye, Xiao, and Li are ruthless, but that they didn't expect the Heng Family's resistance to be so tenacious and clever!"

Elder Mo nodded: "The Heng Family's command is really good, step by step, using arrow crossbows to eliminate the nine families' effective strength,

not panicked at all. Even if the family is destroyed in the end, I'm afraid the nine families of Ye and Xiao will suffer heavy losses!

I wonder who is in command?"

"Heng Xian!" The old man behind Ji Yaoyue said in a deep voice: "The old man just observed from nearby!"

"Heng Xian?" Elder Mo and Elder Xu were very surprised, "A family survival battle, actually let a teenager command?"

The white-haired old man said: "In fact, Heng Xian's command is calm, composed, and orderly, which is commendable. If it were someone else, I'm afraid the Heng Family would have been destroyed by now!"

Elder Xu, Elder Mo, and others nodded in unison: "Indeed! This Heng Xian's command is truly extraordinary, and no faults can be found!"

Jiang Ziyi opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't really say anything.

Elder Mo sighed: "It's a pity that the Heng Family's four gates are broken after all, and they won't be able to hold on for long!"

Ji Yaoyue's face was anxious and pale. If the cause and effect of the family siege battle weren't too great, and she had no relationship with Heng Xian for the time being, she would have already rushed out.

She thought for a moment and said: "Heng Xian is an Artifact Refiner and an Alchemist, could it be that the Alchemist Alliance and the Artifact Refining Alliance are just watching?"

Elder Mo smiled bitterly: "This kind of large-scale slaughter has too much involvement. It is a customary rule in the cultivation world that outsiders do not touch it.

How can we go? I only hope that Heng Xian reveals his status as soon as possible. If something happens again, we won't spare the nine families afterwards!"

Ji Yaoyue clenched her fists, her teeth biting hard.
