System Journey to Godhood

Chapter 26: Ancestor Yan

"Noo!!" One middle-aged lady screamed.

"Impossible!!" Another middle-aged man staggered, and his face paled.

In the Yan Family's home, people began to panic when they saw Patriarch Yan and Yan Tian family tablet shattering. They knew that their family's doom was guaranteed when two of their strongest member fell in battle.

"We need to beseech our ancestor!" one of the family elder said.

"Yes, we still have the ancestor! We still have hope!" another elder said.

"But, our ancestor only slightly stronger than Patriarch, we can't be sure he can win! We need to secure our treasure and escape!" One elder frowned; he wasn't optimistic.

"That's true. As long as we still alive we can build the family again!" one elder nodded agreeing to the opposing elder.

While the elder was fighting among themselves, a "bang" sound suddenly interrupted their bickering.

"Bang! Bang!" The mansion gate was blasted, and five peoples enter the mansion. Several guards had been knocked unconscious and down on the ground.

"Quickly surrender! We don't want to spill blood anymore. Whoever cooperated with us will be granted mercy!" Lin Ming shouted.

"Hmph! Who dare act unscrupulously in Yan Family?!" A deep and cold sound came from inside of the mansion. An ancient figure appeared from the mansion with strong pressure exude from his dignified manner.

Seeing the figure of Ancestor Yan, Elder Yang step forward and calmly said," We are from Heaven Sword Sect, and Feng Family come here for justice! Yan Family violate their honor with vile act! We need a proper explanation!"

"Hmph. How dare you wrongly accused us! That unfilial descendant fault and have nothing to do with us! Do you think that Yan Family so easy to bully?!" Ancestor Yan snorted.

Hearing his words, everybody there had an urge to vomit. How can this undying man so shamelessly play innocent? Even a beggar on the city street had already aware of the event in the Feng Family mansion; How can a Nascent Soul cultivator like him still play a victim, trying to wash his hand?

Of course, Ancestor Yan had already known and might be the one who orchestrated the whole event. After watching the battle, he realized that they still underestimated their enemy and unsure if he would get an advantage even if he had stronger cultivation. However, he was riding on the back of the tiger and couldn't retreat anymore to only strode forward and hope that they will buy the bluff.

"You already so old but still have a thick skin. It's like your brain has turned rotten. Even three years old brat won't believe what you said," snickered Feng Xue.

"Does a human whose brain has rotten can make still alive?" Snowy tilted her head innocently.

"It just a metaphor, just a metaphor," Feng Xue said with a wry smile.

"Impudent junior!" With a thunderous voice, a strong pressure strike Feng Xue and Snowy but effortlessly repelled by Elder Yang.

Seeing how easy Elder Yang deal with his attack, Ancestor Yan face turned ugly. He hoped to probe Elder Yang's strength with that move but only strengthen his suspicion that Elder Yang's strength might have already higher than himself.

"Is it fun to bully junior? Might as well taste my move!" Elder yang snorted while holding his sword.

"Buzz!" a bright light emerged from his sword and then unleashed when Elder Yang unsheathed his sword. A dense sword Qi swirling around the blade blasted toward Ancestor Yan.

"Break!" Overwhelmed by the power, Ancestor Yan gathered the qi around her fist and shot it to block the attack.

"Poof!" Ancestor Yan staggered a few stepped back and coughing some blood after his technique failed to block Elder Yang's attack.

"No! Ancestor!" Many Yan Family disciples shout when they saw Ancestor Yan wounded. The blood drained from their face as their confidence was broken by Elder Yang's power.

"Activate the formation!" Elder Yang's blood energy exploded and triggered the formation underneath the mansion. A golden furnace fly from the mansion, and a barrier emerge from it quickly enveloped the mansion and its surrounding. Some elder and disciple also provide their energy to strengthen the barrier.

"That's Heaven-ranked Sky Dragon Furnace. I don't expect that furnace to fall into Yan Family's hand," Elder Yang's expression turned serious as he recognized the golden furnace.

"Is that the legendary Venerable Sky Dragon's life treasure? How can they possess that item? I remember that furnace was lost a long time ago," Lin Ming asked with a solemn expression.

"Maybe they get it from Heavenly Blood Sect. There was a rumor sometimes ago that Heavenly Blood Sect annihilated a small clan out of the blue. Nobody knows the reason why they did it at that time. Maybe that small clan has once possessed the furnace, and the sect plundered it," Zi Ling said as she tried to remember the event.

"Let me tried to break the barrier," Elder Yang said.

"Sky Severing Slash!" A massive amount of sword Qi gathered at the tip of the sword. But different than when Feng Xue used the move, Elder Yang condensed his sword domain, and the technique power increased nearly tenfold.

"Zhang! Zhang!" All of the swords nearby tremble as if they were a commoner in the presence of their emperor.

"Rumble! Rumble!" The sky roaring seemingly afraid before the might of the move.

Elder Yang swung his sword and released the sword qi to assault the barrier.

"Boom! Boom!" The slash came in contact with the barrier, and a burst of shattering sound come with blinding light.

Unfortunately, the strike wasn't enough to shake the barrier. Not even scratched it.

"Hahaha! You'll never break it with that meager strength!" Ancestor Yan loudly laughed at the Elder Yang's attempt.

"We safe! Ancestor is mighty!" Yan Family's elders and disciple let out a relieved shout with a smug smile.

"Now you know Yan Family's strength! Not even Heaven Sword's First Elder can breach it!" one young cultivator said mockingly.

Elder Yang frowned when he saw that his attack was ineffective. Even though it wasn't his full strength, Elder Yang had used 80% of his strength on that moves.

"Why don't we try to attack it together?" Lin Ming suggested.

"Okay, let's attack it with our full power," Elder Yang nodded.

Elder Yang, Lin Ming, Zi Ling, and Feng Xue readying their weapon to unleashed their ultimate move.

Snowy, aware that her strength didn't amount much to help them, carefully looked at the barrier to search for its weak point. With her maximum point in intelligence stats, she can analyse the formation in a short time.

"Elder Yang hit the point above the cauldron! Lin Ming, Zi Ling, and Xue attack there, there and there, at the same time!" Snowy directed the four of them where to strike and to point at three places around the barrier.

Feng Xue and the other trusted her judgment and quickly move to their position.

"Hahaha, you can try as much as you want, but you'll never break the barrier!" Ancestor Yang said with a mocking smile on his face.

"It won't break, would it?" One elder asked anxiously as he had a bad premonition.

"It won't; nobody will defeat our Ancestor barrier!" Another elder said with confidence.

"Let's see how long your smile will last! Sky Severing Slash!" The sword qi blasting the top of the cauldron.

"One Slash of Hundred Sword!" Hundred of swords assault one side of the barrier.

"Seven Steps of Purple Mist!" One corner of the barrier was drowned by purple mist and violently lacerated.

"Star Plucking Arrow!" A bright ray shot toward the side of the barrier and forcefully penetrated it.

"Crack! Crack!" As soon as the barraged barrier hit, a crack appeared at the point of contact and spread all over the barrier in a split second.

"Boom!" The barrier was immediately broken like broken glass, and the furnace slammed down to the ground and destroying half of the mansion.

The smile on Yan Family's faces suddenly disappeared and changed with horror.

"No! It can't be!" Ancestor Yan screamed as he knocked back because of the backlash. The rest of the elders and disciples who maintain the barrier coughed some blood and faint on the spot.
