Chapter 271: Annihilation of An Lan! The Fall of the An Family! Three Immortal Techniques! (Part 1)
Chapter 271: Annihilation of An Lan! The Fall of the An Family! Three Immortal Techniques! (Part 1)
An Lan was wreaking havoc!
Surrounded by five opponents, he was hammering them relentlessly. But suddenly, his entire body trembled.
A sense of weakness suddenly enveloped him, causing his complexion to drastically change.
Who was he? A Ninth Stage powerhouse. How could he feel weak?
Since he had reached the Ninth Stage, he had never known what weakness was! But at this moment, this sense of weakness was so intense...
At the same time, he felt his combat power plummeting sharply and inexplicably, which filled him with fear and immense unease.
From the perspective of the others...
An Lan's aura was rapidly diminishing. The 'Blood Aura' that had enveloped his body also suddenly dissipated...
"This?!"
Everyone noticed the issue, including An Lan himself.
"How can this be?!"
He was at a loss, but he knew he was in serious trouble.
He tried to use his secret arts to boost his combat power, but found it completely ineffective.
From minor secret arts to Immortal Techniques, even burning his Essence Blood was useless! His Essence Blood was rapidly depleting, but his combat power remained stagnant...
"Quick, attack together!"
"He's in trouble!"
"Take advantage of his weakness, and end his life!"
Jiang Taixu and the others naturally wouldn't miss this golden opportunity, even though they didn't know the exact issue. An Lan's panic and unease were unmistakable.
They joined forces and launched a counterattack.
The once invincible An Lan was instantly suppressed, barely able to protect himself with the Immortal Shield.
As for retaliating...
It was almost impossible.
"How can this be?!"
An Lan roared wildly in his mind, unable to understand why, yet powerless to do anything. This feeling made him so furious that he was almost driven mad.
...
"Why is this happening?"
This sudden change stunned everyone.
"Could his strength have been just a fleeting moment?"
"Impossible, something must be wrong!"
"That's true. Regardless of other factors, the blood sacrifice by his clan members is problematic. Logically, the Blood Aura shouldn't dissipate unless it's completely consumed."
"But just now, the Blood Aura around An Lan vanished instantly, which is illogical!"
"Indeed, it's too bizarre..."
"..."
...
"Bad!!"
"The Clan Leader is being suppressed, he can't hold on!"
"Why is this happening?"
Inside the An Family territory, the remaining 'elderly, weak, women, and children' were terrified.
But at the same time, some of them became more determined.
"Continue the blood sacrifice!"
"Absolutely cannot let the Clan Leader lose."
"I am a member of the An Family, born and died as an An Family member. With my Essence Blood, I shall sacrifice!"
"..."
In a short time, over a hundred thousand An Family members performed a blood sacrifice, filling several Ten Thousand Pits.
A thick Blood Aura rose into the sky, instantly surrounding An Lan.
An Lan's face lit up with joy.
Jiang Taixu and the others felt a chill...
But suddenly, the Blood Aura dissipated once again.
An Lan's smile froze.
Jiang Taixu and the four others' lips twitched.
For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward.
"No!!!"
An Lan was filled with shock and rage, roaring out.
He couldn't understand why this was happening!
At this point, he had already realized where the problem lay.
A bizarre law had 'enveloped' him!
This law prevented him from enhancing his strength, as if he was directly 'locked down,' forcing him to fight with his 'true strength.'
But...
Why was even the blood sacrifice by his clan members ineffective?
How was he supposed to fight now?
"An Lan!"
"You have committed countless evils; today is your day of reckoning!"
Jiang Taixu erupted, and the five of them joined forces, ruthlessly suppressing him.
An Lan's expression turned grim, and he turned to flee without a second thought. Jiang Taixu and the others naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away, pursuing him relentlessly.
The remaining members of the An Family were all stunned.
Everyone was in a daze.
"An Lan... escaped?"
"No, he was just showing off louder than anyone else, how could he escape?!"
"What is going on?"
"Is this still An Lan?"
"..."
...
Lin Fan wasn't surprised.
An Lan was indeed a master of posturing.
But this guy was also exceptionally afraid of death.
Otherwise...
He wouldn't have been shouting for 'Yutuo to save him.'
But...
"Brother Two, they don't know how long they will pursue him. Can your formation hold out?"
Fan Jianqiang nodded lightly, "It can hold out a little longer."
"Oh~!"
Lin Fan nodded, feeling relieved.
Just a little longer... No need to elaborate, those who understand will get it.
...
The surrounding onlookers quickly dispersed.
They dared not stay too long!
From the looks of it, the An Family's fate was sealed, and the Jiang Family would become the new strongest.
Although An Lan was not dead yet, and the An Family had two Ninth Stage members trapped in the formation, their fates unknown, how did that matter?
The Jiang Family had five Ninth-stage members, which was enough to rewrite the battle's outcome.
Even if they all survived and escaped, they could do nothing to the Jiang Family.
This battle, the Jiang Family had already won!
Moreover, the An Family was massacred, while the Jiang Family's losses were not unbearable.
Just a few dozen Eighth Stage members and hundreds of Seventh Stage members had fallen.
For an ordinary force, this would be an immeasurable loss, perhaps even insurmountable, but for the Jiang Family, it wasn't too crippling.
Mainly...
Five Ninth Stage members were simply too overwhelming.
T
After all, no one knew what the Jiang Family would do after dealing with the An Family.
The people from Wan Zhen Island were the fastest runners!
They were all in a daze, secretly rejoicing in their hearts.
Fortunately, they had restrained themselves, or else they would have been forced to take action by that pervert king, An Lan. Otherwise, they would have been buried six feet under by now!
"That's not right!"
An elder from Wan Zhen Island couldn't help but mutter, "If we had really taken action, there wouldn't have been any graves left! It would have been a complete annihilation, leaving not even a single hair. Where would there be any graves?"
The crowd: "..."
This was truly terrifying!
Although they hadn't taken action, everyone felt like they had passed through the gates of hell. Their bodies were covered in cold sweat, and their backs were already drenched.
As for those who came just to watch the spectacle and didn't want to miss this shocking battle, they couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions on their way back.
"The An Family... actually lost."
"Yeah, who would've thought the An Family would lose?"
"Even if An Lan survives, the An Family will be severely weakened, and it will be difficult for them to make any significant moves for at least ten thousand years."
"Moreover, it's unlikely that An Lan will survive."
"The Jiang Family... they've been hiding their strength all this time!"
"Everyone thought the Jiang Family was the eternal second fiddle, and no one believed they could rival the An Family. Who would've known that they would suddenly rise up and unleash such thunderous methods as soon as they took action, causing the situation to turn against the An Family?"
"The Jiang Family is not to be provoked!"
"Our realm is about to undergo a major change."
"What do you mean by 'about to change'? It already has!"
"Yes, the heavens have changed!"
The original rulers of the heavens were the An Family, but now, it's the Jiang Family!
Although White Robe Divine King Jiang Taixu couldn't defeat the pervert king An Lan, he managed to survive An Lan's relentless bombardment and continued to fight him. Such strength was already sufficient to demonstrate everything.
There wouldn't be anyone or any force who dared to challenge this new order.
The heavens had indeed changed, hadn't they?
...
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Lin Fan used the Eightfold Mirror Technique to observe once again.
An Lan was surrounded!
All kinds of buffs were ineffective, and he was truly helpless.
For example, he wanted to use Blood Escape, but it was useless!
Blood Escape, to be precise, was also a type of 'Acceleration Buff'.
The debuff of that little thing, Gou Sheng, was truly abnormal.
It directly nullified all buffs related to attack, defense, speed, and burst, forcing An Lan to rely solely on his 'raw power' for offense and defense.
But without any supporting skills... he was as good as a dead man.
Without Bloodthirst or Frenzy, he wasn't even allowed to dual-wield, and even a Berserker, who couldn't add any of the small buffs commonly used by all classes... how could he possibly stand a chance?
He couldn't win.
He couldn't escape.
The Crimson Peak Spear remained dazzling but was no longer effective, and the attack frequency was almost non-existent.
An Lan roared and howled in rage, giving it his all.
In the end, he could only cower behind the Immortal Shield, shivering and barely hanging on.
Perhaps, if it were only Jiang Taixu, they might not have been able to do anything to him.
But...
There were still two more perverts!
With a chat group and a mall, it was equivalent to having a system. And system-based perverts were never weak.
All kinds of methods and special items emerged one after another.
One of them seized the opportunity, forcibly peeling away the Immortal Shield, leaving An Lan unable to defend himself...
"Ah!"
An Lan was both furious and terrified: "Let me go!"
"The An Family is willing to respect the Jiang Family."
He only wanted to survive.
But no one was willing to stop. Jiang Taixu didn't want such a powerful enemy to remain in the world.
As for the two Ninth Realm group members...
They all wanted to claim the kill, earn more points, and thus obtain more task points to exchange for rewards. Why would they hold back?
"You!!!"
An Lan roared frantically, "If you won't let me live, then I'll make sure you die too!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
He truly fought with all his might, driven to madness.
The six Ninth Realm experts unleashed a shocking battle, causing the entire world to tremble. The void shattered and then reorganized, and finally, it completely collapsed...
But.
Without any buffs, whether An Lan fought with all his might or not, his strength didn't increase much.
At most, he abandoned defense and launched a full-scale counterattack.
In doing so, although he caused some injuries and obstacles to Jiang Taixu and his companions, he himself also quickly reached the end of his life.
It was difficult to kill a Ninth Realm expert.
It was even more challenging to kill a powerful one like An Lan.
But it wasn't impossible.
Finally...
An Lan's blood stained the void, and he was completely blown to pieces. Even his soul was shattered into fragments. The two group members each tore apart a portion of his 'soul' and burned it, while the rest was completely annihilated by Jiang Taixu!
The Crimson Spear and Immortal Shield were respectively collected by them.
Although Jiang Taixu and his companions were envious, since the group members had helped the Jiang Family so desperately, they didn't dare to compete for the spoils.
"Mission complete..."
"That's not right!"
The two group members suddenly raised their eyebrows: "There are two more, let's go back!"
"..."
...
When they tore through space and returned, they happened to see Lin Fan putting away the Eightfold Mirror Technique.
Upon seeing this, the two raised their eyebrows.
They quickly approached: "Greetings, everyone."
"This old man is Bai Yu Jing."
"Old man White Jade Capital."
"We don't know which group member trapped the An Family's two members in the formation? An Lan is already dead, and we've made our preparations."
"Release them and kill them."
"Only then can we be at ease."
"Greetings, fellow cultivators." Jiang Taixu also stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Are you all fellow cultivators from White Daoist's hometown?"
"Thank you for your help!"
"After this, the Jiang Family's treasury will be opened to all of you!"
"You're welcome."
Lin Fan responded with a smile, then said to Song Ru: "Fellow cultivator, please dispel the formation."
Song Ru was stunned: "What?
"??"
(ΩДΩ)?!
What the hell does this have to do with me?!
His mind was buzzing.
Just as he was about to respond, he suddenly felt a shocking spatial fluctuation behind him and quickly turned around.
Boom!!!
It was as if a small world had suddenly descended and merged with this one.
At the same time, a terrifying attack erupted from it, rushing toward everyone.
"Break!"
Jiang Taixu slashed through the void, his sword cutting off the terrifying attack.
"Ha ha ha, we're finally out!"
"This damned formation is nothing after all!!!"
'Seventh Uncle' and the other person emerged, disheveled and panting.
Just one glance...
Their eyes widened, and their bodies stiffened, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Where are the people?!"
"Where's the Clan Leader?"
"Where are our many Great Powers?!"
In their view, this shouldn't be the case!
Even if they were trapped, the An Family's strength should still have been comprehensively superior to the Jiang Family. How could it end up like this?
The An Family’s territory was still hanging in the sky, but all of the An Family’s Great Powers... were gone.
The air was still filled with the smell of blood.
At some point, it had started raining blood in this area.
Blood rain was a sign of an 'Immortal Fall.'
Although ascending to the Immortal Realm wasn't the same as becoming a true Immortal, if enough Immortals fell, it could cause the phenomenon of blood rain.
But!!!
All three of the Jiang Family's Ninth Stage members were still alive, and there were even two strangers...
So who died?!
"A family should be together."
Yan Luji immediately took action and said, "I'll send you to reunite with them!"
"No way!"
The two Seventh Uncles roared.
They were furious!
Trapped in that bizarre formation, they had exhausted all means to break out but failed. In the end, they had to use the most primitive method—working together to strike one point continuously, hoping to overload the formation and escape.
And now, after finally escaping, they were told that the situation was like this?!
The An Family...
Was finished?!
"No!"
"I don't believe it!"
The two roared, but their disbelief couldn't change the outcome.
They were ultimately surrounded and killed...
"Everyone, please come inside our clan for a rest."
Jiang Taixu was covered in blood, but his aura was even more formidable.
This battle had pushed him to new heights, making him even stronger. His Divine King Body had finally reached perfection at this moment.
"Once I completely destroy the An Family, I will come to entertain you all."
He soared into the air, forcefully heading toward the An Family's territory, determined to obliterate it and exterminate the clan!
The remaining members were mostly old, weak, women, and children. Was it too cruel to exterminate the clan?
Perhaps some would think so.
But mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Justice Does Not Regard Wealth, Compassion Does Not Command Troops!
As the leader of a clan, the head of a force, he had to be responsible for those behind him.
When it was time to exterminate, it had to be done, with no leniency or softness.
Otherwise...
In some time, some enemies he spared might come to destroy, and it would be too late to regret.
However, before the An Family was completely erased from history, the Imperial City had to be moved from the Jiang family’s territory.
After all, this kind of force’s Clan Protection Array was connected to the entire clan’s foundation.
If the array was destroyed, the clan’s foundation would collapse.
If not moved, so much trash would have to be cleaned again, also troublesome.
But these things, Lin fan had no interest in.
Song Ru in the group contacted Xiao Xiao Mage, Si Wu Ya, and the other two, who were very interested, though such a 'head-piking' and killing operation was cruel, they didn’t care.
The cultivation path, had to abandon some things.
Moreover, this was a task world.
Whether it was real or fake, who knew?
Perhaps, it was just a virtual world?
They comforted themselves like this and, upon arrival, killed some of the An Family.
However, they didn’t touch the commoners, but only killed the small cultivators who could resist, so they had no psychological burden.
The extermination operation lasted half a day.
Mainly, the high-realm Great powers didn’t want to kill the small cultivators.
Or couldn’t!
Killing could be done.
But killing too many would easily create 'karmic obstacles.'
Demon cultivators might not care, but orthodox cultivators had to, unless they didn’t want to cultivate to a higher realm.
Thus, there was a chance for Si Wu Ya and the other two to shine.
That night.
The bright moon hung high, ten thousand miles cloudless.
Lin Fan and others became the honored guests of the Jiang Family.
Even Si Wu Ya and the other minor cultivators were treated well, with all kinds of gifts.
That night, the Jiang Family was mostly excited.
Only those who lost relatives were in complex emotions, pain and joy.
The next day, morning.
Jiang Taixu kept his word, opening all the treasure vaults and said, "Everyone can choose three treasures!"
"Whatever is in the vaults, I will not go back on my word!"
This statement made Bai Yujing, Yan Luji, Xin you dao, and others smile.
This was an unexpected joy.
After all, they came for the task and the task reward, couldn’t come, or else they would be gone!
But having the task reward, they could also benefit from the Jiang Family, how nice?
"Then, no need to be polite."
No one was polite!
Even Si Wu Ya and the other two, thick-skinned, entered the treasure.
The Jiang Family, a super first-rate force, had to have good things in the treasure vaults, couldn’t be missed?
Even after the great battle and huge consumption, they had to be good things.
Especially for the Holy Knight and Xiao Xiao Mage.
They... Just pick the expensive ones, and later exchange them for points to directly purchase the needed items from the mall. Isn't that wonderful?
The reason I didn't do this before wasn't because I didn't want to, but because I had no choice.
The level of this world is too low, and it's difficult to find truly valuable items. Earning points is too challenging.
Fan Jianqiang also went with them.
This guy... doesn't care how others view him.
Moreover, he has contributed greatly, so naturally, he won't have any psychological burden.
