Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1717 - 1048: Thunder Dragon, Divine General, and the Five-Tailed Zhēng
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
The ones who came to support the Luo family are none other than Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang.
There was no choice.
Too many demon beasts have fled; the majority of the strength of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect has been dispatched for support everywhere. Even the six Hall Masters are no exception; all of them were called out unless they were in seclusion.
The reason Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang arrived a bit late is because they didn’t come from the White Cloud Immortal City; they had just dealt with a group of demon beasts and then received the sect’s order, prompting them to hurriedly come for support.
"Junior Brother, Mysterious Thunder Talisman!" Yang Jizhen looked at the battlefield below and transmitted a message to Cui Yang.
Upon hearing this, Cui Yang wasted no time, took out a large stack of Mysterious Thunder Talismans, formed hand seals, and each talisman flew out, activated, transforming into bolts of lightning. Yet these bolts did not attack the demon beasts below but instead gathered toward Yang Jizhen.
Countless bolts of lightning converged like a giant net upon Yang Jizhen, being infused into his Wood Thunder Sword.
Yang Jizhen was bathed in lightning, his hair and beard flying, lightning flashing, while dark clouds gathered in the sky above. Even the White Cloud Flying Boat changed from pure white to lead color, merging into the dark clouds.
The White Cloud Flying Boat was once a large flying boat of the White Cloud Dao, and the inheritance of the White Cloud Dao was not related to cloud and mist but rather Thunder Skill.
So don’t be deceived by the appearance of the White Cloud Flying Boat; it is a flying boat that nurtures lightning.
And what Yang Jizhen cultivates is the Wood Thunder Control Scripture and the Wood Thunder Sword technique, hence he is a Thunder Skill Sword Cultivator; of course, Thunder Skill is his primary cultivation, with Sword Dao being secondary.
Thunder clouds gathered, strong winds howled, countless bolts of lightning entwined around Yang Jizhen, who appeared like a Thunder God looking down on all beings.
"Thunder Skill, Thunder Dragon Descend!"
His eyes emitted lightning, hands forming seals, and the Wood Thunder Sword in front of him carried countless lightning bolts, transforming into a dazzling Thunder Dragon that spiraled in the air before striking downward.
Boom, boom, boom~~
Bolt after bolt of lightning accurately struck the demon beasts and mutant beasts. Any mutant beast struck by lightning had its skin and flesh instantly torn, turning charred black. However, demon beasts, after being hit by a lightning bolt, were only slightly injured.
But the lightning released by the Thunder Dragon became more frequent and dense, wrapping around each demon beast like chains.
A single lightning strike might cause slight injury, but what about ten times, a hundred times?
In the blink of an eye, numerous demon beasts and mutant beasts on the battlefield were blasted into charcoal.
However, Yang Jizhen’s assault was not over. His mana surged, and the lightning within the dark clouds continued to strike the Wood Thunder Sword in front of him.
Meanwhile, Cui Yang nearby continued to rapidly activate each Mysterious Thunder Talisman.
Although the Mysterious Thunder Talisman is a Second-Order Talisman, its power is not strong; its most formidable aspect is that when used in large quantities, it can cause thunder clouds to gather, triggering an explosion of lightning.
Meaning, the more Mysterious Thunder Talismans activated, the greater the explosive power, not just additive, but exponentially growing.
Years ago, Yang Zhenshan relied on this move to display great might within the Sun Cave Heaven. Now Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang rely on this move to display great might as well.
However, now Yang Jizhen can’t compare with the past Yang Zhenshan, so he needs Cui Yang’s assistance.
As a Talisman Master, Cui Yang’s control and manipulation over talismans far exceed Yang Zhenshan, allowing him to precisely unleash the maximum power of each talisman, following one after another, continuously and stably providing lightning to Yang Jizhen.
By contrast, Yang Zhenshan’s past use of the Mysterious Thunder Talisman was wasteful; he simply activated the talisman and ignored it.
Many Mysterious Thunder Talismans in his hands failed to unleash their maximum power and could not form sufficiently powerful lightning.
Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang cooperated, with one controlling the lightning and the other delivering it, as the terrifying Thunder Dragon spiraled in the air, lightning striking down like swinging willow branches attacking every demon beast and mutant beast.
With support from Yang Jizhen and Cui Yang, the battle situation at Yunye Manor was immediately reversed, and the scales of victory began to tilt towards Sky Cloud Sword Sect. Many demon beasts, sensing the unfavorable situation, stopped grasping for spiritual objects and fled in all directions.
However, now is not the past; they wanted to flee, but the Luo family and Sky Cloud Sword Sect people were unwilling to let them go easily, leading to chase battles played out continuously amidst the rolling hills.
...
As the battle at Yunye Manor drew to a close, battles also erupted in the eastern region of the Yunxiao Mountain Range.
Unlike Yunye Manor, the eastern region of the Yunxiao Mountain Range is filled with towering mountains, making the terrain more complex, and the demon beasts hiding within only gathered in small groups, hiding everywhere.
If they were just hiding, it wouldn’t be a problem; the Sky Cloud Sword Sect doesn’t forbid them from living within the Yunxiao Mountain Range, but they also need various spiritual objects, attack Sky Cloud Sword Sect industries in the mountains, and even ambush disciples of Sky Cloud Sword Sect passing by.
Therefore, the Sky Cloud Sword Sect had to send out many disciples to hunt these demon beasts hiding in the Yunxiao Mountain Range.
The joint army formed by Cangyu Mountain, Hidden Sword Mountain, the Yang family, and several Elder Peaks split into teams, searching for demon beasts in the vast and complex forest.
Thus, small-scale battles erupted within the Yunxiao Mountain Range.
Within the dense forest, a saber beam that stretched for several meters swept across the treetops like a rainbow piercing the sun, shooting towards the clear sky.
