Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng's powerful voice echoed in Tianyang Peak.

There was no response at all.

Knowing that he was no match for his opponent, Zhang Hongguang simply chose to avoid fighting and even hid in the formation, not daring to show his face.

Seeing that their leader had become a coward, all the disciples of Lieyang Sect could not help but feel angry and anxious. How could their sect have such a spineless leader? Wasn't he being looked down upon for no reason?
Finally, Wang Yuesong stood up. He flew into the air on his sword and bowed to Song Changsheng in a dignified manner, saying, "Greetings, Chief Song."

Song Changsheng frowned and looked at him, and said in a cold voice: "Where is Zhang Hongguang? Why doesn't he dare to come out to fight?"

"Patriarch Song, you are joking. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. With three great Purple Mansion monks here, how can our sect leader easily show up?" After a quick thought, Wang Yuesong finally thought of a reason to save Zhang Hongguang's face.

After all, no matter how unbearable Zhang Hongguang is, he represents the reputation of the Lieyang Sect. If we ignore him, the morale of the army will probably be almost gone before the battle even starts.

"Bah, Wang, you are kidding me. You are just a coward who runs away from the battlefield. Let alone the three great Purple Mansion monks, even if I were the only one here, would that old bastard dare to show up?"

In the face of Wang Yuesong's words, Song Lutong at the bow of the ship did not buy it and started cursing. The vulgar words made the veins on the foreheads of the disciples of Lieyang Sect bulge, and they wanted to rush out and fight him to the death.

"Vulgar!" Wang Yuesong was furious, his whole body shaking with anger.

Song Changsheng looked at Song Lutong helplessly, then looked at Wang Yuesong who was trembling with anger, and suddenly felt that there was no need to continue with the process.

"There is no point in talking any more, let's see what's going on, attack!"

At Song Changsheng's command, the [Black Starship] that had been ready for a long time immediately opened fire at full power. A column of white light cut through the sky and slammed down on the barrier formed by the Lieyang Sect's protective formation, bursting out with an extremely bright light. The Lieyang Sect disciples felt as if the entire mountain was shaking.

"Is this the power of the quasi-sky ship?" Wang Yuesong was suddenly shocked when he saw the ripples on the barrier of the formation.

The protective formation of the Lieyang Sect is a third-order intermediate-grade [Fire Sky Barrier Formation], which is both offensive and defensive and extremely powerful.

But the bad thing is that a third-level formation must have a formation master of matching rank to unleash its full power. The Lieyang Sect is not known for its formations, and after many rounds of searching, there are only two second-level top-grade formation masters, and one of them has already died outside Cangmang Peak.

With only a second-level top-grade formation master, he can only exert 50% of the power of the formation at most. Even with the three control tokens belonging to the supreme elder, the sect master, and the great elder, he can only exert 70% at most.

One of the control tokens of the formation disappeared with He Tai's death, and it most likely fell into Song Changsheng's hands.

With only two tokens, the formation can only exert a little more than 60% of its power.

Facing three great Purple Mansion monks and a quasi-celestial ship, Wang Yuesong had no idea how long he could hold out. What's more, Song Changsheng and Song Xianming were both third-level formation masters and had many means to break the formation.

Wang Yuesong's expression changed rapidly, and he finally looked at Huang Liqun beside him and said, "Do your best to stop them. I'll go ask the Sect Master to come out of seclusion!"

"Yes, sir!" Huang Liqun gritted his teeth and took the control token. This thing is now a life-threatening thing.

During the period when the two were handing over, a group of foundation-building cultivators from the Song family also took action.

Song Lutong, Song Luyun, Song Changan, Song Changxuan, Song Changxue, Song Changxiu, Song Qingqing, Song Qingqian and Song Qingming, nine people worked in groups of three, forming the [Three Talents Heavenly Star Formation] and launched a spell bombardment at the several weak points pointed out by Song Changsheng.

With the help of the battle formation, each of them burst out with strength beyond their own, and the barrier of the formation suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Upon seeing this, Huang Liqun immediately called on the elders and disciples of the sect to go and resist, while he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of hot blood towards the two control tokens in his hand.

The originally pure white jade token was instantly covered with a layer of eerie blood color.

The next moment, a scarlet bead turned into a stream of light and came to the top of Tianyang Peak, releasing a scorching light. Large areas of plants on Tianyang Peak withered in a short period of time.

This is the core of the formation, the middle-grade magic weapon [Flame Burning Star Bead]. Its appearance can not only stabilize the defense barrier of the formation, but also trigger the release of nine [Sky Fire Meteors] which are equivalent to the full-strength attack of an early Purple Mansion cultivator. It is extremely powerful.

But the disadvantage is that after using it nine times, the [Flame Burning Star Bead] which serves as the core of the formation will fall into a deep sleep, and the defense of the formation will be greatly reduced.

Huang Liqun is now hesitating whether to use this precious attack opportunity to ease the pressure on the formation, but seeing that the three Purple Mansion cultivators on the other side have not yet made a move, he thought about it and decided to stay put for the time being.

But what he didn't take into account was that although Song Changsheng and Song Xianming seemed to be motionless, they were actually looking for loopholes in the formation.

With the help of the [Eye that Breaks Delusion], he could see the strengths and weaknesses of the Lieyang Sect's protective formation at a glance, and one flaw after another was exposed before his eyes.

Although these are minor flaws that are not harmful, a thousand-mile dam is breached by a single ant hole. Once he connects these loopholes together, a huge loophole will be formed that is enough to shake the entire formation!

That's when the final word is reached!
While the battle outside the mountain was fierce, Wang Yuesong quickly came to a bronze gate at the back of the mountain.

He lifted up his skirt, knelt down, touched the ground with his head, and said in a loud voice: "Wang Yuesong respectfully invites the sect master to come out of seclusion!"

His voice echoed among the mountains, but Zhang Hongguang in the secret room remained indifferent.

Wang Yuesong did not give up and continued to kowtow, saying: "The sect is in danger, I hope the sect master will come out and take charge of the situation!"

Still no response, as if he was facing just a cold bronze door.

"The elders are leading the disciples in a bloody battle. We hope the Sect Master will come out!"

Wang Yuesong continued to kowtow, and he would keep doing so as long as Zhang Hongguang did not come out.

Time passed minute by minute, and the only sounds in the mountains could be heard were the dull sound of knocking heads and Wang Yuesong's angry cries.

In the end, the stone in front of him was broken into pieces and a blood mark appeared on his forehead. For a foundation-building cultivator, this was unimaginable.

Finally, Zhang Hongguang's hoarse voice came from inside the bronze door.

"Retreat, I am now a crippled body, unworthy of the responsibility of protecting the sect, please let me spend my last moments here in peace."

Zhang Hongguang's voice revealed sadness. His heart was completely dead. Dying on Tianyang Peak was the only bit of face he had left for himself.

As soon as the formation is broken, he will sever his own heart meridian, then collapse the secret room and bury himself.

"Sect Master! Are you going to watch helplessly as the blood of the sect is shed to the point of utter depletion? Would you be worthy of the ancestors of the sect if you did this?"

Wang Yuesong shouted loudly, and all the old men and children in the sect came forward. As the strongest person in the sect, why did he hide here?

"Then give up resistance and leave some seeds for the sect." Zhang Hongguang remained unmoved.

For a moment, Wang Yuesong was filled with anger. He pushed out with all his strength, and the bronze door instantly broke into pieces.

He walked in with big strides, but the scene before him stunned him.

Zhang Hongguang, who was originally in his prime, had somehow turned into a decayed old man with gray hair, a haggard face, and a heavy aura of decadence all over his body.

If he couldn't vaguely make out his appearance, Wang Yuesong would not have believed his eyes.

"Sect Master..." Wang Yuesong's voice trembled slightly.

"Junior brother, tell me, in this state, what else can I do? What can I do?
I am still suffering from the sword strike from that young man. My mind and spirit are exhausted. I won't live much longer. Please let me finish my last journey in peace, okay?"

There was a pleading look in Zhang Hongguang's cloudy eyes.

Song Qingxing's sword seemed to be the lightest injury, but in fact, the sword energy was attached with the power of law, which was absorbed from the [law essence] in the abyss. This was a force that Zhang Hongguang could not understand at all, and he could not dispel it at all. It was like a ulcer attached to his bones, constantly corroding his heart veins, and in a short time, he looked like a ghost.

Not only did his essence suffer great damage, but it also consumed a lot of his energy.

"Brother, do you want to die in such an aggrieved way? Why don't you dare to give it a try? You have to die meaningfully!
Senior Brother, do you want me to beg for my life?"

Seeing the determination in Wang Yuesong's eyes, Zhang Hongguang sighed deeply: "Forget it, it's just death anyway."

When Zhang Hongguang came out of retreat, the battle outside the mountain had reached a white-hot stage. Song Changsheng also discovered a huge loophole in the formation. He was currently attacking fiercely with Song Xianming and Yuan Tianshu. They almost broke in several times, but were blocked by Huang Liqun who released [Sky Fire Meteor] three times in a row.

Just when Song Changsheng was hesitating whether to use [Thunderbolt], Zhang Hongguang appeared under the sky and shouted: "Song Changsheng, your opponent is me!"

"You finally dare to show up!" A cold light flashed in Song Changsheng's eyes.

"You go, leave this to us!" Song Xianming said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Song Changsheng nodded, turned into a stream of light and rushed straight into the sky, standing opposite Zhang Hongguang.

Looking at Zhang Hongguang's current state, even Song Changsheng was surprised.

"Come and fight!" Zhang Hongguang shouted loudly, and a layer of scarlet light suddenly appeared on his body, and he actually began to burn his origin directly.

Given his current condition, he will definitely die after this battle regardless of whether he wins or loses.

With the power brought by the formation and the burning origin, Zhang Hongguang's aura soared to an exaggerated level, completely overshadowing Song Changsheng.

"Suppression!"

Song Changsheng was not afraid at all. He waved his hand and the [Five Elements Creation Seal] flew out of his hand, flashing with colorful light and pressing down on Zhang Hongguang.

"break!"

A powerful momentum burst out, and Zhang Hongguang held a silver-shining broadsword in his hand and chopped it with all his might. This chop was like a star falling from the Milky Way, dazzling and brilliant.

"boom--"

A huge impact swept through the air, and the two men did not retreat but advanced, turning into two streams of light and fighting fiercely in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, the two had fought for dozens of rounds.

"Small magical power [Mountain Seal]"

"Small magical power [Soul-killing Golden Sword]"

"Small magical power [Tiangang Cover]"

Song Changsheng had a variety of tricks up his sleeve, and gradually gained the initiative on the battlefield, suppressing Zhang Hongguang, who was still seriously injured.

The pain in his chest became more and more obvious. Zhang Hongguang knew that his essence was about to burn out and he didn't have much time left!
"Minor magical power [Heavenly Sun Finger]"

Red light gathered at Zhang Hongguang's fingertips and attacked towards Song Changsheng's eyebrows.

Song Changsheng took out the Soul-Slaying Gourd and shouted coldly, "Please use the gourd to slash the souls!"

"Swish"

The red light passed by Song Changsheng's ear, leaving a deep blood groove, deep enough to see the bone.

The Soul-Severing Flying Knife also drew an arc in the air, cutting off a large piece of flesh from Zhang Hongguang's left shoulder, while at the same time turning his already fragile sea of ​​consciousness upside down.

"what--"

Veins bulged on Zhang Hongguang's forehead and cold sweat rolled down his temples uncontrollably.

By now, he finally understood He Tai's feelings. Song Changsheng's strength could not be measured by common sense at all. Not to mention that he had not yet recovered from his serious injuries, even if he was in his prime, he would definitely not be Song Changsheng's opponent.

However, he still has one last trump card, a trump card that can be unlocked with life as the key!

Zhang Hongguang smiled bitterly and suddenly let go of all his defenses. The surrounding spiritual energy poured into his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally skinny body suddenly swelled up like a ball.

"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct, Changsheng, get out of the way!"

Below, Song Xianming, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, was horrified and shouted loudly.

The self-destruction of a Purple Mansion cultivator comes at the cost of sacrificing everything he has. Even his true spirit will be annihilated, and he won't even have the chance to be reborn.

Its power is even greater than that generated by a self-destructive weapon.

Most people simply don't have the courage to do this.

But Zhang Hongguang did just that.

The distance was so close that even if Song Changsheng ran away desperately, it would be too late.

After thinking this through, Song Changsheng gave up the idea of ​​escaping, and his eyes suddenly turned into pure black and white.

A pair of huge eyes also appeared behind him, majestic and desolate, and the yin and yang energy swept down, dyeing Zhang Hongguang's world into distinct black and white.

Zhang Hongguang was suddenly horrified to discover that the power he had absorbed earlier was rapidly dissipating, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop it.

He didn't know that Song Changsheng's innate magical power was derived from the Yin-Yang Dao, and it had a very strong suppressive effect on the power of those who were in it, even self-destruction would be blocked.

"【Yin and Yang Annihilation】" Song Changsheng's voice seemed to come from the underworld and fell into Zhang Hongguang's ears.

The eyes behind Song Changsheng suddenly opened at this moment, empty, ruthless, and full of destructive power.

Two different forces were tearing Zhang Hongguang's body apart. He was already exhausted and had no power to resist. He was torn into pieces in an instant, and even his soul was not spared.

The last leader of Lieyang Sect died!
