Chapter 765: Iron Cavalry Trample the Ancient Aristocratic Family

Black clouds pressed down, clinging to the ground. It was as if tens of thousands of black mountains had descended, piled high, their immense weight suffocating and heart-stopping, making it impossible to breathe.

The Wang family was just a few hundred li away. Tens of thousands of barbarian warriors, encircling their target, began a rapid assault. A heaven-shattering battle had begun!

A vast, dark expanse of barbarian beasts trampled the ground. Like a roaring black torrent, they swept forward, devastating everything in their path and making the earth tremble.

“Who are these people? Where did such a vast army come from?!” The Wang family had hidden sentinels patrolling hundreds of li outside their domain.

Pfft.Blood spattered as an arrow pierced a throat.

Barbarian master archers, riding exotic beasts at a relentless gallop, drew their bows. Their mounts' speed remained undiminished as they advanced side-by-side like a sweeping flood. Their powerful bows were drawn taut as full moons, and ancient divine arrows, one after another, pierced through clouds and mist, flying for over ten li.

A tragic, vivid red; blood blooms continuously erupted. Beneath the leaden clouds, lives were harvested one after another, falling to the ground.

In what seemed like the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of barbarian beast mounts charged through, trampling all bodies into bloody mud. Not a single person escaped.

Divine archery, one of the barbarian tribe's essential secret arts, was always a fatal strike. With such a large number of archers, even a fraction of them drawing their bows made them unstoppable.

“This is bad! A great enemy is invading! Quickly, sound the alarm bell!” There were too many hidden sentinels along these hundreds of li, yet initially, not a single one managed to raise the alarm.

Horses trampled the grassland, galloping freely. Tens of thousands of barbarian warriors roared, their battle aura surging. Wherever their weapons pointed, they were like an unstoppable legion of ancient war gods.

“Who are these people? Quickly report to the family! Someone is attacking our Wang family!”

In the sky, there were also patrols, but their fate was even more tragic. As the steel torrent on the ground roared past, several master archers, each over two thousand years old, drew their bows. The arrow-lights they unleashed stretched for dozens of li, piercing through foe after foe.

“Ancient fortresses in the sky!”

The Wang family had spared no expense, concealing numerous ancient towers among the clouds over a hundred li from their main compound. These structures monitored all movements, ensuring nothing escaped their notice.

However, the Southern Ridge barbarians were well-prepared. Tens of thousands of riders, mounted on various exotic beasts, galloped through the clouds, thundering past and crushing every building in their path.

Any resistance was met with forward thrusting spears, instantly crumbling. Ancient towers were reduced to ruins one after another. Those who attempted to flee and send messages were pursued, trampled into mud by the barbarian beasts, leaving only a lingering blood mist.

Whether in the sky or on the ground, barbarian warriors were ubiquitous. Wherever their weapons pointed, all resistance was utterly destroyed!

Ye Fan and Li Tian were both stunned. This was an unstoppable army, empowered by an indescribably terrifying blood sacrifice.

At this moment, a surge of blood-qi erupted from the crown of every individual's head. Tens of thousands of these energies mingled, creating an image of blood-soaked Asuras.

Every iron cavalryman was imbued with a blood-red hue. This terrifying aura, as if they were protected by the blood of war gods, made them incredibly valiant and unstoppable.

They were drawing closer. Fifty li from the Wang family, the alarm bell rang incessantly. Powerful individuals were stationed here, making it impossible to eliminate them in advance.

“Clang…”

The mighty bell resonated for hundreds of li, vibrating eardrums.

This was a formidable defensive fortification, unused for untold millennia. Though regularly garrisoned, no one would have imagined anyone daring to attack the Wang family.

Having long dominated the Northern Plains and ruled supreme over their domain, the Wang family had instilled a sense of complacency, making its inhabitants believe no one would dare attack and that these defenses were unnecessary.

However, at this moment, everyone's expressions changed. After sounding the alarm, they all shot into the sky, unleashing various weapons to repel the attack.

But all their efforts were futile. The barbarian iron cavalry swept through, each warrior incredibly valiant, charging forth with stone axes and great clubs made from monkey fangs.

Ancient war towers and small floating cities, which stood as seemingly indestructible defenses in the sky, collapsed completely as the iron cavalry charged, trampling through the void.

With their battle aura permeating the air, the countless barbarian warriors swept through, crushing everything in their path. Truly, nothing could withstand their advance.

“Ah…”

The screams of the stationed defenders echoed relentlessly. They were either impaled by cold spearheads, bleeding profusely, or brutally smashed into pulp by great clubs, sending shattered bones flying.

This was a massacre, a clash between incomparable forces. How could mere hundreds of strong individuals contend with so many iron cavalry? It was like ants trying to shake a tree; escape was impossible.

Even two powerful beings found no escape. They were personally shot down by a living fossil-level master archer. Two arrows pierced them, and the formidable shafts carried their bodies two or three li away before they were utterly pulverized.

Chaos erupted within the Wang family. Hearing the alarm bell, everyone was astonished. What kind of catastrophe was this? That bell had not rung for ten thousand years.

Fifty li was a short distance. Even as the Wang family heard the bell, it was already somewhat late. Tens of thousands of iron cavalry roared into sight almost instantaneously, with human shouts and beast roars filling the air.

“Kill!”

At this moment, the barbarian warriors, who had been silent for so long, erupted with astonishing killing intent. Their single roar shook mountains and rivers, as if the entire grassland was on the verge of collapse.

This was a steel torrent, an unstoppable force, like a war god descending from another realm, sweeping away all opposition.

“Look,”

Dozens, even hundreds, of the Wang family's external ancient war palaces and suspended islands shattered on the spot, becoming a field of rubble and broken stones.

Ahead, mountain ranges stretched across, resembling sleeping dragons. This was one of the few mountainous areas on the vast grassland, and the Wang family was situated within it. According to geomancy masters, this was a "place of ascending dragons," destined to bring a family extreme prosperity and enduring fortune.

Tens of thousands of barbarian troops surrounded the ancient family. Everyone raised their weapons, poised to unleash an earth-shattering strike, all gathering ancient barbarian battle-qi.

This was not a confrontation between two armies, nor did it require forming battle lines for a direct confrontation. This was purely for revenge, and speed was of the essence. They intended to launch the fiercest possible surprise attack!

To the direct south, the Azure Dragon flapped its colossal wings, shattering the mountain range that blocked its path. It was a terrifying spectacle.

Mountains, cleaved in half, flew through the air. Colossal ranges were ripped from the earth, soil and rock churning, tearing apart the dense black clouds above.

This was the Sky Overlord, a guardian deity of the barbarian tribe, raised by the previous clan leader, having existed for over three thousand nine hundred years with unfathomable strength.

Roar!

The Azure Dragon roared mightily, causing more mountain peaks to collapse. From its mouth, a beam of green light shot forth, emitting a chilling aura, as if a saint were awakening.

What it spat out was a green blade. The aura capable of shattering heaven and earth emanated from its edge, making the vast wilderness and the great grassland tremble.

It was as if a war god were awakening, poised to destroy this world. Powerful, grand, oppressive, and blazing auras of terror permeated the air.

The Azure Dragon Blade!

An Azure Dragon, lifelike, was imprinted upon it. The blade itself was ancient and grand, its killing intent seemingly capable of overturning all realms, astonishing the nine heavens and ten earths.

However, it was not flawless. This was a damaged saintly weapon, incomplete; the blade body was broken, and a section of the Azure Dragon carved upon it was missing.

Though not a generational saintly weapon, once unleashed by the barbarian guardian deity, it still wielded world-dominating power. The Azure Dragon Blade slashed across the sky with a resounding "boom," as if cleaving a world in two.

The Wang family's main south gate emitted a dazzling light. This ancient saint's defensive formation now cracked and trembled, a massive opening being cut into it.

Outside the main north gate, a terrifying scene of collapsing mountains and rocks flying through the air unfolded, as another guardian deity went into action.

As tall as a mountain, it carried over thirty barbarian elders, each over two thousand years old, crushing every obstacle in its path.

“Roar…” The White Tiger roared, shaking the heavens. From its mouth, it spat out a bone staff, pure white as jade, which then smashed towards the northern gate's grand formation.

This, too, was a flawed saintly weapon, forged from a great arm bone of an ancient saint. Though warm and pure white, it bore many cracks, having been damaged and lost much of its divine power.

With a single roar, the White Tiger wielded the bone staff for several continuous strikes, tearing a large opening in the ancient divine formation, creating a colossal and ever-widening breach.

At the main east gate, the surrounding mountains were leveled. The old clan leader led tens of thousands of troops in a combined assault.

And most terrifying of all was naturally the stone axe in the old clan leader's hand. Simple and unadorned, a mere glance instilled dread. This was a flawless ancestral saintly weapon, left behind by a barbarian great saint!

It possessed unparalleled destructive power. With a single swing of the axe, all heavens and myriad realms seemed on the verge of collapse. The destructive aura caused the entire grassland to sink.

“Boom!”

The Wang family's main east gate was cleaved open, shattering before them. A corner of the ancient defensive formation was ripped apart, proving unable to halt the army's advance.

To the direct west, Ye Fan led the charge, wielding the Divine Maiden's Furnace. Behind him, banners waved as tens of thousands of iron cavalry thundered forth, trampling across the sky.

“Open for me!”

Ye Fan roared, activating his Solar Saint Power. The Solar Extremity Divine Point erupted, and the fist-sized divine furnace shone dazzlingly as it slammed into the Wang family's west gate.

Mountains crumbled and the earth split, the gate reduced to dust. The grand formation laid by the ancient saint was torn open, creating a fissure. Tens of thousands of iron cavalry roared, bathed in blood-light, charging with full force.

“Open!”

Ye Fan roared again. The Divine Maiden's Furnace repeatedly impacted the ancient formation, its continuous vibrations causing the array's flaws to widen progressively.

“Boom!”

Finally, the west gate was breached. Tens of thousands of iron cavalry charged straight in. Wherever their wolf-tooth great clubs struck, walls toppled and halls collapsed!

“Kill!” At this moment, battle cries shook the heavens as armies poured in from all four directions.

With four ancient saintly weapons leading the way, the Wang family's defensive grand formation disintegrated, rendered useless.

Although the weapons wielded by the two guardian deities, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, were flawed, their own immense power compensated for any deficiencies.

As an immortal ancient family, the Wang family was naturally formidable. Within its domain were numerous floating divine islands and majestic divine mountains, all suspended in the sky with silver waterfalls cascading down, creating a magnificent spectacle.

As tens of thousands of iron cavalry charged in, island after island and ancient mountain after ancient mountain shattered and plummeted. Amidst the ensuing chaos, a large contingent of Wang family experts emerged to meet the enemy.

“Who are you, and why are you attacking our Wang family?” someone bellowed.

Everything happened too quickly. All four main gates were breached almost simultaneously, leaving even the powerful Wang family stunned.

This was undeniably an unimaginable enemy. Without three or four generational saintly weapons, none of this could have been accomplished. The thought alone was chilling.

“I am Ye Fan, the one you sought to kill! Today I have come specifically to eliminate you and flatten this ancient family with my iron cavalry!” Ye Fan stood suspended in the air, his black hair wildly dancing, his eyes sharp. With a roar that echoed across the vast land, he exuded the aura of a ruler.

A heaven-shattering battle was inevitable! Blood had seemingly already dyed the grassland red, and bones appeared to have piled into mountains.
