Chapter 142 - Kill Them All, Every Last One of Them (1/2)

That elite fighter on night duty was unable to say anything before he was wiped out without a sound.

Lu Xuan was moving at incredible speeds. He was able to move over 100 meters in an instant, and the elite guards along his path were all killed with pebbles before they were even able to react.

Those were fighters with only Level Two or Three powers, after all, so they certainly stood no chance against the likes of Lu Xuan.

Worse yet, none of them seemed to have expected that someone would actually dare to assault the Song Clan just like that.

The clan’s powers and its status in the Holy Dragon Corporation were such that not even the Special Task Force would mess with them without good reason.

Their massive power and status notwithstanding, even if there was anyone who was blind and oblivious enough to get on the bad side of the clan, such a person could not possibly be bold enough to infiltrate the clan’s compound, which was filled with all manner of formidable fighters.

As such, while the security looked airtight, no one on the security detail actually had the psychological preparation to deal with any threat.

Lu Xuan proceeded as he traced the presence he sensed, moving deeper and deeper into the clan’s ancestral land.

A group of higher-ups was gathered in a secret room within the compound at that moment, and all of them had grim looks on their faces.

The assault of Lu Xuan’s manor had been anything but smooth sailing. None of them had expected to see a National Guardian level security guard at the compound. While they had been able to cause serious injuries to the guard, they were still unable to get what they came for.

The Song Clan had intended to kill every single person found in Lu Xuan’s home to serve as a warning to anyone who dared to mess with the clan, to show that getting on their bad side was a surefire way of getting oneself killed.

That was not all. Those invaders had only recently discovered that their Great Ancestor actually died by Lu Xuan’s hand and that he had such great power that their last resort—the armed helicopters that they put in place thinking nothing could go wrong—had all been shot down by Lu Xuan.

They had no access to what had truly happened back on the mountain, but there was no doubt that the clan had met their match this time.

Frankly, the clan had never dealt with any one person who proved so difficult. The clan had always had their way with such lone cultivators, beating and killing them as they fancied and without care. No lone cultivator had ever been able to stand up to the Song Clan and live to tell the tale.

Yet there was one emerging in front of them right there and then. Not only was he able to take on the clan, but he was also able to cause the clan massive losses.

“We absolutely cannot afford to let Lu Xuan live!” One of the higher-ups roared in anger.

The losses they’d suffered that time truly dealt a heavy blow to the Song Clan.

The Song Clan paid no heed to the loss of common folk forces, including even the armed helicopters.

What truly drove a stake into their hearts was the death of their Great Ancestor, Song Lingfeng.

In the world of cultivators, the one with the bigger stick was the one who made the rules, after all.

The Song Clan had only been able to achieve such esteemed status in the Holy Dragon Corporation due to Song Lingfeng’s presence. The very reason that Song Shijie, Song Maoxun’s son, had been able to contend for the position of chairman of the corporation was that he was backed by Song Lingfeng.

With the death of Song Lingfeng at Mount Qingyun, the largest backing force that supported the Song Clan had been uprooted in a single night.

One could imagine how much the Song Clan’s status had fallen in the Holy Dragon Corporation since then.

Worse still, their mortal enemy, Lu Xuan, was able to emerge from it all unscathed. That was absolutely beyond the pale for them.

“There are two most urgent matters we need to address right away. First, we need to request backup. Better still, we must soon think of a way to get the Patriarch to reach Deity level. Only by doing so will we be able to stand firmly again,” the eldest of the elders of the clan said slowly.

Every single higher-up in the room listened with a severe expression.
