"Righteous path?" Jiang Haotian suddenly laughed heartily, "You are truly naive! The only truth in this world is power! As long as I possess enough strength, anything I say is the truth! Anything I do is the righteous path!"
"Absurd!"
"Enough!" Jiang Haotian raised his hand, condensing a beam of golden light. "All Jiang Family Members, heed my command! Not a single one of these people is allowed to leave here alive today!"
With a wave of his hand, all the disciples of the Jiang family drew their swords in unison, a powerful aura of spiritual pressure enveloping the entire ancestral hall.
This family, which had existed for nearly a thousand years, the family I once took pride in, had completely fallen from grace!
Since that was the case, there was nothing left to hesitate about!
"Charge!" I roared, leading the charge towards Jiang Haotian with my blade raised!
Jiang Haotian stood behind the many descendants of the Jiang family, instructing several confidants to escort the elders out through the back door. Then he coldly looked over the crowd at me and commanded, "Kill them all!"
Although these Jiang family disciples varied in skill level, they had the advantage of numbers.
I swung my Copper Scraper, just managing to fend off a wave of attackers when more surged forward!
There were simply too many of them!
I couldn't get close to Jiang Haotian at all!
At that moment, a familiar silver figure charged in from the side—it was Su Yan. She flicked her tails and directly sent several Jiang Family Members reeling backward.
"Xiaoman, focus on Jiang Haotian; leave the rest to me!"
I nodded and took advantage of Su Yan's distraction of most of the Jiang Family Descendants to push toward Jiang Haotian.
Just as I crossed through the crowd, suddenly—a golden light in the shape of a palm shot toward me!
Instinctively, I raised my Copper Scraper to block it. The immense force made my hands tingle painfully, and I nearly lost grip on the Copper Scraper as I staggered back four or five steps before barely regaining my footing.
Jiang Haotian sneered, "Trash will always be trash; even with a divine artifact, you can't make waves!"
Hmph, banter is child's play.
Without saying another word, I swung my Copper Scraper again, unleashing a blue spiritual blade along its edge!
Jiang Haotian was momentarily taken aback and barely managed to dodge, but the hem of his robe was still completely sliced open by my blade.
Ha! The past month of training has not been in vain!
Although Jiang Haotian's cultivation is still above mine, with the rapid operation of the two powers of the demon spirit within me, I found myself evenly matched against Jiang Haotian for a time!
Meanwhile, Old Li swung his cast-iron broadsword, working in tandem with Su Yan and Xiao Hei Mao, and managed to carve a bloody path through the crowd of Jiang Family Descendants!
“Xiaoman! Run!” Old Li shouted at me.
I jumped up, my toes landing on the shoulder of a Jiang Family Member that Old Li had knocked down. Gathering my energy and focus, I struck back with a knife, forcing Jiang Haotian to retreat, and quickly followed after Old Li as we dashed towards the ancestral hall's exit.
We exerted ourselves to the limit and finally broke free from the encirclement, sprinting towards the mountains outside the village.
However, it wasn't long before Jiang Haotian and a group of Jiang Family Members were hot on our heels.
We were surrounded once again!
With our backs against each other, we faced the relentless Jiang Family Members.
Despite our coordinated efforts, there were simply too many of them. Gradually, we began to feel overwhelmed.
I slashed diagonally once more, sending out a streak of blue light that repelled several advancing Jiang Family Descendants, but my strength was clearly waning. Having already been injured, my entire body now ached, and I could barely stand.
