Chapter 29 Clan Unification part 1

Chapter 29

The old European building looks shabby with cracks visible on its walls. Inside the building curiosity and fear are on everyone's faces as they watched the gruesome battle outside. Fresh red blood are being spilt on the ground as one cultivator after another fell.

On the chaotic battleground a contrast scene can be seen where a beautiful woman gracefully weave through each cultivator as they face against her. The slim figure gently drift with swift precision as she displays her almost perfect sword skill. Each of her strike takes a cultivator's life like a beautiful death goddess dancing through the battlefield. This is Laxia Lee, the genius swordswoman of the Abe clan.

Seeing the onslaught, members of the Li and Xiamen clan began to feel anger and fear within their hearts. Anger for their fallen brothers and sisters and fear for their own lives. But then as the battle continues a loud shout almost immediately stopped the fighting.

"Laxia Lee! I Ben Lanero of the Xiemen clan challenged you in front of these people, to a duel. Let's see who the best fighter between the two of us is."

A tall handsome youth with long golden hair stepped forward. He has a medium build body and on his hand is a thin long black sword.

"Ben Lanero, you have guts to challenge my senior sister. Do you think with your meager skill you can defeat her? Ha ha!"

Grunt Abe suddenly stepped forward, with blood all over his body, he looks like the grim reaper with a giant bloody war hammer.

"Hah! Let me show you my meager sword skill then."

Ben Lanero suddenly rushed forward dragging his sword. A strong energy condensed within his sword as he slashed toward Grunt Abe.

Laxia Lee was about to counter, when Grunt Abe signaled her not to move. He just stood there like a firm and immovable mountain.

Then a loud 'clang' sounded as two weapons suddenly made contact. Ben Lanero immediately retracts his sword and immediately follow up with a forward thrust of his sword.

"Phoenix strike!"

A fiery red flame suddenly covered his sword as he thrust.

With this sudden move Grunt Abe was a little taken aback but he immediately move his hammer and block the tip of the incoming sword. But to his surprise a powerful force threw him backwards as he fell to the ground and spout a mouthful of blood.

"Not bad. But still not enough to defeat me. Now it's my turn."

Grunt Abe suddenly stood up and holding his war hammer with his two hands he condense a large amount of spiritual energy. Then with a wave he released a burst of wave forward.

"Heaven destruction ball!"

A ball of purple energy gushed forth towards Ben Lanero.

Then all of a sudden, with a lash of his sword the ball of purple energy was cut in two. Then flew toward some of the unlucky cultivators from the Xiemen clan. With a loud explosion two deep holes can be seen on the ground with blood and body parts scattered everywhere.

"Ha ha ha. You just saved yourself and killed your clan members. Tsk tsk."

"Why you son of a… I'll kill you!"

Gathering his energy, Ben Lanero suddenly disappear from where he stood.

This made Grunt Abe stupefied, but he prepares himself and put up his defenses. Then all of a sudden a shadow appear behind him. He noticed this but his movement was too slow, he was able to shift his body just enough to save his vital spot. But the sword still pierce through his shoulder.

"Arggh!" Shouted Grunt Abe as he grits his teeth in pain.

Then Ben Lanero was about to deliver a killing blow but he suddenly backs away, quickly as he could, as a feeling of danger bombarded his senses. Laxia Lee suddenly appear behind Grunt Abe where Ben Lanero was standing. Though Ben Lanero was able to evade on time, still he felt a wound on his arm and blood slowly gushed down.

'She still got me. What a scary woman, if she was the one who fought with me I could have died already.'

Now down to the ground with a bleeding right shoulder, Grunt Abe suddenly felt weak.

"Poison! You coward! You're using poison in your sword. Argghh…"

Grunt Abe shouted as he felt his strength slowly ebb away and the blood flowing from his shoulder turns black.

Laxia Lee immediately took out some detoxifying pills and gave it to his junior brother. Which had taken effect immediately as Grunt Abe's complexion returns to normal.

"Son are you okay?... What a despicable person. Using a poison in a duel. Is this what the Xiemen clan measures up to?"

An angry Hildor Abe walks towards his son. Seeing that his son's wound became stable. He heave a sigh of relief. Then lifting his weapon with anger on his face he signaled for everyone to prepare.

With this all of the Abe clan members, prepares themselves for the final fight. As every cultivators from each clan also prepares to fight to the death once more. Then everyone immediately rushed as Hildor Abe's weapon dropped down.

As the three clans clashed more body fell. Now that the clan leaders entered the battle, powerful destructive forces erupted and left the Li state in ruins.

Meanwhile at the town mayor's estate…

In a large manor the mayor stood facing the window and watched as smoke and explosion can be seen outside. A man wearing a leather armor stood not too far away in front of his desk.

"Mayor… should we stop this?"

"No, we can't. If we join this the town's people will suffer more, all we can do is to just make sure that no innocent bystander would be hurt. Go! You may leave now."

"As you command sir."

After bowing the man left following the mayor's command.

Now alone in the quiet room, the mayor gave a loud sigh. As his mind drifted to some place.

As the smoke and the battle died down, a scene of carnage and destruction can be seen all over the battlefield. What's left standing are a handful of member from the Abe clan. The Li clan state was totally destroyed, their leaders and the rest of their members were annihilated. The remaining members of the Xiemen clan are still far too many, though one of their elder is wounded heavily, but it still shows who the victors of the battle are.

"Senior sister Lee, you have to escape and get revenge for our clan. We should not all perish here. Run to the clan and take the remaining members out of town."

Grunt Abe whispered to Laxia Lee where reluctance can be seen all over her face.

"No junior brother, I will lay my life for the clan. You all have helped me grow even though I'm an orphan. You treated me like one of you, I won't abandon the clan." Laxia Lee said with determination in her beautiful sparkling eyes.

"Ha ha. Senior Broom Abe, this will be the end of your Abe clan. If you surrender we will let your Abe clan go. But you have to destroy your cultivation."

Ling Xiemen shouted after seeing that only the patriarch and the clan leader of the Abe clan are the only strong fighters left.

"We will fight until our last breath. We Abe clan members are not cowards, will get our revenge in this life or another."

Broom Abe the Abe clan patriarch shouted. As he slowly condense a powerful energy within his dantian. Looking at his son Hildor Abe and his grandson Grunt Abe, he smiled and a resignation to death can be seen in his eyes. The rest of the Abe clan members nod their heads as they also resigned themselves to death. Their only way to get revenge is to do a suicide attack as the clan patriarch blows up his core.

The Xiemen clan had a bad premonition of what's is going to happen, as horror can be seen in their faces.

As the patriarch of the Abe clan forces the large amount of energy to make his core explode.

A sudden powerful spiritual pressure pervades the whole town. Which made everyone once again halted on their steps.

From the sky an old man full of gray hair slowly descend like a deity from heaven. His aura is too domineering that everyone in the town is unable to stop themselves as they prostrate to the ground.
