How long does it take to annihilate a family?
There might be countless answers depending on the comparison of their strengths.
But one thing is certain, the greater the gap in family strength, the less time and preparation is needed.
If the world’s families had to be categorically divided, there would generally be two types in the early stages.
The first generation established the family, was built by one or two ordinary warriors from the Fierce Realm who rallied their own relatives and passed down their own martial arts. If they were lucky enough to have descendants, the family could continue to multiply. Generally speaking, with the passage of time, they could become a small clan with a fixed range of power and industry. The family that has been passed down for several generations, after dozens or even hundreds of years of accumulation, the clan has its own direct line and even vassals. They are finally able to perform training arrays in a decent manner, begin to accumulate spirit armors and weapons, start setting up departments to enhance their own martial arts, and start considering the related matters of the Combined Attack Technique.
Without a doubt, most of the families chosen by the Tang Clan in Chengzhou are at the second level, and the longest-lasting, the Lei and He clans, have a history of just over a hundred years.
A hundred years, five generations, may be enough to research the integration of homogeneous and homologous martial arts, and it is also possible to enhance some of the core martial arts inherited by the family, and if one is outstanding, they might even be able to figure out a few skills and matching spirit arts. But that’s all.
Unless a Martial Arts Grandmaster emerges, it is almost impossible for a family to experience a drastic change in a short hundred years.
It’s common for a dazzlingly talented martial artist to lead their family to progress greatly. In other words, if there’s no such extraordinary martial artist, the family can only develop slowly and progressively.
And the so-called extraordinary, if commonly seen, would not be extraordinary at all. y
The Tang family in Xiling and the Mi Clan in Xiling can be called powerful clans, even if they are shrunken in the small Xiling City, these two clans are true elites.
This is the result of thousands of years of accumulated heritage, and the result of countless extraordinary martial artists strengthening their clans. Since the day the Wancheng Treasure Ship was acquired, these two clans became distant from ordinary families.
The most fundamental reason is the experience of the two clans in conquering cities and destroying kingdoms over hundreds of years. Each time the Wancheng Treasure Ship returns, it signifies the destruction of several or even a dozen small cities. Apart from abundant resources, their martial arts and secret techniques were all plundered by these two clans. The two clans, from being initially hesitant to take action against coastal villages and towns, gradually developed to dare to attack cities. The progress in between was more than a hundredfold.
In the eyes of these martial ancestors of the Tang Clan, the over thirty Fierce Realm warriors of Xincheng were nothing more than chickens and dogs, of no value at all.
Because what the Tang Clan is best at is destroying cities and exterminating clans, and this group of Fierce Realm fighters and those who have shed their mortal lives from the Dark Thunder Hall are amongst the best. Having just returned from the Wancheng Treasure Ship, they had not even eliminated the heavy smell of blood on them.
That night, Jiang Lin
The entry of Mi Hu into the war created a balance in the battlefield. The power of the Tang and Mi clans finally returned to equilibrium, and with the God Willow embodiment and Asura physique taking turns attacking, finally halted the downfall of the martial ancestors of the Mi Family.
Neither side sent any additional martial ancestors, so from the original chaotic battlefield with sixty Fierce Realm fighters, they fought till only fifty remained. This signified that both families had six or seven Fierce Realm fighters who were so severely injured that they could no longer fight.
However, as the number of people in the chaotic battlefield diminished, the battlefield gradually fell into a stalemate. Apart from Tang Sen who still maintained his ample energy, the rest of the Fierce Realm fighters began to feel fatigued. Especially the Mi Family’s Grand Elder Mi Yang, who had been sneak attacked by Tang Siyuan during a stalemate with Tang Sen, used the first piece of Xuanji Jade and suffered serious injuries.
If it weren’t for the Divine Armor protection, Tang Siyuan’s Extreme Sharp Finger Force would be a nightmare for all other Fierce Realm fighters.
However, Mi Yang, who possesses Divine Wood bloodline, has an amazing recovery ability. He quickly replaced his old Spirit Armor and returned to the battlefield.
The war continued to go on.
The second day of August, the city hall of Xincheng
Tang Zhi, who sat in his seat of host early in the morning, still looked amiable, but nobody among the chieftains of Xincheng believed him anymore.
The power of the nine Fierce Realm warriors and three hundred who had evolved last night was engraved into their minds like a nightmare. The rapid extermination of the He Clan, the most powerful in Xincheng, extinguished their thoughts of escape.
So, early in the morning, the hall was packed, all twenty-nine chieftains of Xincheng arrived, solemn and respectful, showing their decency in front of Tang Zhi.
’’You don’t have to be so formal,” Tang Zhi looked around and asked gently, Are there still any other clans wanting to leave Xincheng to start their own?” Before he even finished his words, the chieftains began to pledge their loyalty one after another.
No, no, no, the Tang Clan journeyed a long way here from Chengzhou to save my clan. The Ning Family curses those who are not willing to sacrifice their lives for them!”
“How can we forget the life-saving grace? From the moment we arrived in Xiling, the Shen Clan regarded the Tang Clan as our true superior, and we dare not disobey any order from the Tang Clan!”
The He Clan is disloyal and ungrateful. They even dared to provoke the Tang Clan. The Wen family has never liked them. Even if the Tang Clan Master did not take action, my Wen family will never tolerate his betrayal of Xincheng, betrayal of the Tang Clan!”
The same question received completely different answers today. Apart from the few families that left yesterday, those chieftains who were a bit shaken before were now full of excitement, and couldn’t wait to make an oath to prove their loyalty to the Tang Clan. Especially the three families that had taken sides with the He Clan and wanted to leave yesterday, their fawning was so nauseating that even Lei Ze’s face turned red.
“Clap, clap, clap.”
Tang Zhi applauded and laughed, “The various tribes of Xincheng are truly loyal. Just yesterday, I told Lei chieftain that the Tang Clan’s rescue would not be in vain. Do you agree with that, Lei brother?”
He bypassed everyone and asked directly to the blushing Lei Ze, who could only nod awkwardly and said, “Tang Clan Master’s prescience is admirable.” “Since all the tribes in Xincheng are willing to follow the Tang Clan’s command, I won’t be polite,” saidTangZhi, nodding at Lei Ze and addressing the crowd. “As of today, Lei Ze is the City Master of Xincheng. I will allocate the thirty stone forts, hundred wooden forts, thousands of cave dwellings, and one million stones of gram to avoid floods on the east slope of North Mountain to the various tribes of Xincheng. Lei City Master will distribute the supplies. You will move to the east slope of North Mountain within three days. Do you have any issues, Lei City Master?”
It seemed to these chieftains who were once tormented by the floods in Chengzhou that the Tang Clan was well-prepared for this natural disaster. Not only could they provide one million stones of grain, but they had already built cities and forts on the North Mountain and dug countless caves. This surprised the chieftains, they felt as if happiness had come too suddenly.
They had originally thought the Tang Clan was in such a hurry to recruit them because they wanted them to fight the Mi Clan or fight floods when they came. But it seemed they didn’t need to do anything.
Lei Ze, on the other hand, was stunned by the pie that fell from the sky. After knowing the strength of the Tang Clan, he had placed his Lei Clan in a vassal position, thinking that if the disciples of his clan could marry one or two Tang Misses, they could become a branch family. That was his ultimate goal. The position of the city master was something he never thought of, because even without the He Clan, Xincheng was still a large city with a population of more than 300,000 people, and it was composed of all warriors and their families. The strength of the city was amazing. Handing over the city master’s position to him so easily made this somewhat honest warrior a bit dazed.
It was only when Tang Zhi called out to him for the second time did he manage to come back to his senses and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
