Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Under the cover of the night, twenty Celestial Heavenly Soldiers marched toward the Qianlong city lord mansion with silent precision.

Their prowess was evident as they swiftly neutralized any threats that crossed their path, efficiently and without hesitation.

Leading this formidable force was Biyu, a valiant woman whose long sword hung at her waist.

Her light armor accentuated her figure, revealing curves while still covering the necessary areas.

Biyu's expression remained solemn as her hand gently rested on the handle of her sword, poised for action at any moment.

As they approached the core city square, the soldiers' steps slowed, but they did not halt.

In front of them stood hundreds of powerful Peak Foundation Building realm experts, accompanied by over ten Half-step Core Refining experts.

Additionally, there were five formidable Early Core Refining experts among them.

This lineup would have intimidated most, but Biyu and her men continued to advance toward their target, devoid of any fear in their faces.

Mai Cheng, positioned at the center of the group of city lords and patriarchs from other clans, looked at the approaching soldiers with shock written all over her face.

The astonishment was not exclusive to her; the others present, city lords and patriarchs alike, had their jaws dropped in disbelief.

Dealing with problems in their cities was one thing, but facing a force of twenty soldiers led by an Early Foundation Building stage 2 warrior was an entirely different story.

When the Celestial Heavenly Soldiers were less than twenty meters from the assembly of city lords, Biyu came to a halt.

Her piercing gaze swept across the gathered figures, from one person to another. The air crackled with tension as the silent standoff unfolded.

Biyu's eyes, sharp and assessing, landed on Mai Cheng, the Qianlong city lord.

"You must be the city lord," she spoke with a calm authority that echoed through the square. "Surrender and drop your weapon."

Mai Cheng, still recovering from the initial shock, gathered herself and met Biyu's gaze.

"Who are you, and why do you dare intrude upon my city with such audacity?"

Biyu's expression remained resolute. "I am Biyu, commander of the Celestial Heavenly Soldiers."

The tension in the square remained palpable as the city lords and patriarchs observed the confrontation.

The most notable expression on their faces was deep shock, a collective realization that the situation had taken an unexpected and dangerous turn.

"You're… from… a sect..." Patriarch Tang spoke with a trembling voice, his words echoing the unspoken thoughts of everyone present.

The concept of a sect was unfathomable in their world, an audacious move that seemed to defy the order of things.

Who, in their right mind, would dare create a sect, risking the delicate balance that kept the world from chaos?

The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on them, and they found themselves at a crossroads.

It wasn't just about Qianlong City anymore; it was about the survival of the entire human race.

The shock gradually transformed into anger as the city lords and patriarchs realized that the actions of these barren landers had put humanity in jeopardy due to ignorance and arrogance.

Biyu, sensing their internal turmoil, grew impatient with their prolonged silence.

"Will you drop your weapons and I will spare your lives, or do you wish to turn this place into your burial ground?"

Her voice carried a bone-deep pride and confidence, leaving the onlookers once again perplexed.

Where was she getting this confidence from?

The figure of the Celestial Heavenly Soldiers exuded an air of unyielding determination, and the city lords couldn't comprehend the source of such unwavering certainty.

The city lords and patriarchs exchanged uncertain glances, their minds racing to grasp the magnitude of the situation.

Confusion mingled with anger, and they knew they couldn't let these intruders go unpunished.

There was a consensus forming among them—an agreement that they must capture these people and make them regret their audacious actions.

Moreover, a newfound determination sparked within them. The barren land had to be dealt with decisively.

If these Celestial Heavenly Soldiers were any indication of the threats lurking beyond their borders, they had to act swiftly to protect not only their cities but the entire human civilization.

Mai Chen, the Qianlong city lord still recovering from the shock, clenched her fists, and her eyes glinted with a newfound resolve.

"Capture them!" she commanded, her voice echoing through the square.

The city lords and patriarchs rallied their forces, and the air crackled with energy as the once-stunned assembly transformed a battle harden warrior.

The fate of Qianlong City and perhaps the entire human race hung in balance.

Whoosh!

The city lords and patriarchs rushed toward Biyu and her Celestial Heavenly Soldiers, their auras fully released.

The air crackled with energy, vibrating violently, and the ground beneath them displayed spider-web cracks as the intense power surged through the atmosphere.

As the enemies closed in on them, Biyu cast a chilling smile that sent shivers down the spines of her men. It was a smile that foretold only one thing: Blood.

"Killing Spree," Biyu commanded, and in an instant, she vanished from her spot.

Despite being an Early Foundation Building realm stage 2, her speed matched, if not surpassed, those in the Core Refining realm.

Before the city lords and the patriarch's men could comprehend what was happening, Biyu appeared in front of a Half-step Core Refining old man.

The old man's heart almost leaped out of his chest as he saw a blinding light flashing toward him.

Despite his instinct to dodge, the paralyzing terror of the Barren Lander phenomenon gripped him. Frozen for a moment, he witnessed the blinding sword light cut his body in half. New chapters at m v|le|mp|yr

Thud!

He fell to the ground, his body split into two with organs splashing onto the earth.

Shock and disbelief painted the faces of the onlookers as they realized the battle had just commenced, and they had already lost a comrade.

Before they could fully process the grim reality, the twenty Celestial Heavenly Soldiers arrived before them.

Despite being in the Qi Refinement realm, the soldiers had no hint of fear against this formidable lineup.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The city lords and the patriarch unleashed a simultaneous barrage of attacks, aiming to eliminate the soldiers.

The ground trembled, shockwaves rippled through

the air, and a cloud of dust rose to the sky as the clash intensified.

But what happened next left Mai Chen and everyone speechless.

From the cloud of dust, the Celestial Heavenly soldiers marched forward without any injury on their bodies.

Their armor was spotless. They grinned at the city lords and patriarch before one of them uttered.

"Now, it's our turn."

Instantly, the soldiers attacked at the same time.

Twenty powerful sword strikes stacked on each other, speeding toward the city lords at a terrifying pace.

The whistling sound from the attack left everyone stunned, their spines drenched in cold sweat.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Just then, another miserable scream echoed from their left. A middle-aged woman fell to her knees, blood gushing out from severed arms.

Thud!

She crashed to the ground, and her head rolled off from her neck.

However, no one cared about her as everyone was trying to preserve their lives.

Boom!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Various degrees of miserable screams echoed on the city square as many people wriggled on the ground in agony.

Some had their chests cut, exposing their intestines with blood splashing out continuously. Some lost an arm or legs.

Those that fully defended themselves were those with powerful defense skills. Still, their faces were pale, and their breathing was uneven.

Mai Chen was covered in sweat with blood lingering from the corner of her lips. She looked at the incoming soldiers, traces of fear on her face.

Lingtian city lord barely survived the attack. A deep cut appeared on his waist but it was not life-threatening.

Still, the threat to his life made him wary of these bizarre soldiers.

They were confused and lost at the same time. How could a Qi Refinement warrior have such overbearing power?

Even with this thought, they scrambled to defend themselves against the next round of attacks. This time around, the Celestial Heavenly Soldiers didn't attack together.

They had split up, each going after their target.

As for Biyu, the grim reaper, wherever she passed, death followed.

Whoosh!

She appeared right in front of Patriarch Tang like a ghost and swung her sword in an arc.

Patriarch Tang didn't dare to be negligent and deployed all his Qi to defend himself. He was known for his strong defense skill and believed it would save his life.

Bang!

The bright turtle light around him shook vehemently before a web of cracks appeared on it. With wide eyes, he watched as the cracks spread quickly before it shattered to pieces.

What!

He gasped in shock and took a couple of steps back in fear. Since he got this skill, this was the first time it shattered under one attack.

Biyu didn't know what was going on in his mind but was furious for not taking blood from her target in one attack.

A light grunt escaped from her mouth as she attacked. This time around, her sword strike contained more power with an overbearing momentum.

Patriarch Tang held his breath and quickly raised his saber to defend himself. His face gripped with fear and panic.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

He calculated everything.

This was the chance for his clan to become the city lord.

But what went wrong.

The mere thought was making him mad.

Bang!

Biyu's sword light cut through his saber as if it was a piece of paper before continuing on its path.

Ahhhhh!

A miserable scream echoed from his mouth. He looked at Biyu with hatred and unwillingness on his face before he split into two.

Dead.
