Chapter 50: Opponent

Chapter 50: Opponent "Father, Yuan Shen is up ahead." Rong Tong said while looking at an old man. "Mmmmh." The old man nodded and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. The old man was Rong Qu and he was the patriarch of the Rong family. There were six major families in Dragon City – the Xiao family, the Lin family, the Qi family, the Shi family, the Cheng family, and the Li family. Among the six, the martial arts Xiao family was the strongest. However, as an alchemy family, the Shi family was the richest. In recent years, the Cheng clan hadn’t produced many formation talents and the family was in decline. On the contrary, the Lin family, Qi family, and Li family were doing especially well. In the current generation, the Lin family had Lin Mengmeng. Not only was the girl a single-line water root cultivator, and an inscription genius, but she was also married to the genius of the Xiao family. As a result, the Lin family received a second wind and was growing more powerful. Similarly, the Qi family had a young genius called Qi Yang. At the moment, Qi Yang was just a Qi refining realm junior. However, with his talent, Qi Yang would become a famous master in the Canglan continent. Finally, the Li family. Although the Li family didn’t have a young genius, it had many older geniuses. One such genius was Li Zhigang, the president of the talisman association. This year, Li Zhigang was less than four hundred years old. Unless something unexpected happened, he would live another one hundred years. Within that time, the Li family could produce a few geniuses to continue the legacy. Thinking of this, Rong Qu felt a little desperate. The Rong family, like the Li family, was a talisman clan. However, the Li family had a more complete inheritance. As a result, the Rong family was severely suppressed and could only stand behind the Li family. Fortunately, the heavens didn’t desert the Rong family. A few months ago, Rong Hao messaged about Lin Xiang and Yuan Shen. At that time, Rong Qu wanted to take action. Unfortunately, Yuan Shen ran fast and the person couldn’t be found. Almost six months later, Yuan Shen appeared again. This time, the person appeared in a high-profile manner and the Rong family couldn’t recklessly take action. However, they didn’t give up. After Yuan Shen left Dragon City, they followed behind and waited for an opportunity. "Remember, Yuan Shen cannot die until we get his inheritance. Our Rong family needs his talisman inheritance and no mistakes are allowed." Rong Qu reminded with a solemn expression. "We understand, partiach." A dozen people answered in unison. Although Yuan Shen was a qi refining realm cultivator, the Rong family didn’t take him lightly. After all, the person was a level three talisman master. Even if he lacked enough qi to activate level three talismans, his soul power was more than enough. Considering this, Rong Qu brought eight foundation establishment realm elders and four qi refining realm juniors. ..... While the Rong family was preparing to attack, Zhen Yuan was considering his options. When he first met Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan had just advanced and his cultivation was equivalent to the early stage of the golden core realm. Six months later, his cultivation had improved to the peak of the early stage. At this level, he could deal with Rong Qu. However, if he also had to deal with the other cultivators, he would have a hard time escaping with his life. After considering the situation, Zhen Yuan could only think of one solution. ’Formations.’ He thought and a treacherous light flashed in his eyes. Now that he had a solution, Zhen Yuan suddenly relaxed and began to think about other things. ’That mid-stage golden core should be the patriarch of the Rong family. I bet his storage ring has a lot of spirit stones and treasures.’ He thought and subconsciously rubbed his hands in anticipation. Fortunately, the Rong family didn’t make him wait for too long. Three hours later, Zhen Yuan suddenly felt a shift in his surroundings. However, he pretended not to notice. If he wanted his plan to succeed, he had to wait until the enemy was closer. Otherwise, he would miss some people when he activated the killing formation disk. ’The golden core is at the back.’ Zhen Yuan observed with his spiritual sense. ’As long as I act fast, he won’t be able to save the others.’ A moment later, Zhen Yuan made his move. Before Rong Qu could react, his twelve descendants suddenly disappeared. At the same time, Zhen Yuan hid something in his left sleeve. "Formation disk." Rong Qu muttered and glared at Zhen Yuan. He didn’t expect Yuan Shen to have a formation disk. After all, formation disks were expensive and not easy to buy. Since Yuan Shen was a talisman master, Rong Qu expected him to rely on talismans instead of formation disks. "Release my people." Rong Qu ordered. When he heard this, Zhen Yuan smiled in disdain. "Save them if you can." He said. At the same time, nine talismans appeared in his right hand. Soon after, Zhen Yuan threw the talismans towards Rong Qu. However, the talismans didn’t immediately activate. Instead, they formed a strange shape above Rong Qu’s head. "What is this?" Rong Qu frowned. However, before he could figure it out, the talismans suddenly activated. In the blink of an eye, nine bolts of lightning shot out of the nine talismans; merged into one and fell towards Rong Qu. Seeing this, Rong Qu drew a shield and raised it above his head. Unfortunately, the lightning attack was more powerful than Rong Qu expected. When the lightning hit the shield, a loud crack was heard and the shield shattered into pieces. Similarly, the bolt of lightning petered out and disappeared. ’How can a level three shield be so easily destroyed?’ Rong Qu was shocked. At the same time, his eyes shone brighter than before. ’Is this the power of a lightning talisman?’ He wondered. "You really have a powerful inheritance. Hurry up and give it to me." Rong Qu roared and removed a spear from his storage ring. Hearing this, Zhen Yuan sneered. Although his inheritances were complete, they didn’t include attack methods. However, Zhen Yuan had a versatile mind. When he was thirteen, he suddenly thought of combining formations, talismans, and inscriptions. As a result, he realised the talisman formation.
