Chapter 51: The City Lord's War

During the awakening of the Sword Spirit, Duan Chuchen's physique and consciousness had been upgraded by the "Buried God Sword Soul". At this moment, Duan Chuchen had condensed the "Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal" in a very simple manner.

The pain he felt was completely tolerable. Time passed by bit by bit, and five days had already passed unknowingly. At this moment, Duan Chuchen had already condensed the 28% spiritual seal in his body.

Duan Chuchen felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and it would be impossible for him to improve any further. In a short period of time, Duan Chuchen could only maintain his cultivation at the Peak of the Ordinary Martial.

Duan Chuchen could feel that the power in his body, as well as his physique, was no longer enough to support him in condensing the twenty-ninth seal. Only by increasing his cultivation to Early Period of Earth Martial Stage would he be able to successfully condense the twenty-ninth seal, but it was all because of the one step that stopped Duan Chuchen from making a breakthrough.

At this time, the mark of the Lin Spirit Seal's position had already appeared on Duan Chuchen's arm, and the mark of the twenty-ninth seal's position had already appeared. Duan Chuchen was confident that the moment his cultivation reached the Early Period of Earth Martial Stage, he would be able to refine the twenty-ninth seal in an instant.

Right now, there was no longer any possibility for him to improve while cultivating. The only thing he could do now was to hurry back into the Baiming City. After all, he had left his home when he was twelve years old. Duan Chuchen was still a kid, so naturally, he had endless thoughts about his hometown. If he could get back to Duan Chuchen earlier, he would go back earlier.

In the entire Baiming City, the most powerful experts were only peak Earth Martial experts like Duan Jingtian and the others. With Duan Chuchen's current combat strength, he could hope to defeat experts at the peak of the Earth Martial. Now that he had returned to the Baiming City, Duan Chuchen believed that no one could threaten him anymore.

He had to reach the Early Period of Earth Martial Stage realm within a year's time. As long as he reached the Early Period of Earth Martial Stage, and condensed the twenty-ninth Mysterious Sky Spirit Seal, together with the "Buried God Sword Soul", then even if Gao Hu searched for his Early Period of the Heavenly Martial Stage, he would still have the possibility of killing him.

Then, he would destroy the Mo Family and the Yan Family. At that time, his Duan Family would no longer be a threat, and he would be able to go to the Heavenly Refining Sect without worry.

Duan Chuchen knew that whatever Baiming City they were, they were not his stage. His true stage was Heavenly Refining Sect. The legendary Divine Martial Expert was an existence that surpassed the Divine Martial Realm, and everything that happened caused Duan Chuchen to feel so much anticipation. Thinking up to this point, Duan Chuchen couldn't help but speed up his own footsteps, and hurried back into the Baiming City.

Time passed day by day. Unknowingly, Duan Chuchen had already been on the road for three months, which was ten days away. At this time, Han Yuntian didn't chase him at all, and Liu Tie was also safe.

At the same time, all the experts gathered within the Baiming City. Some among them had even thought that the expert's face was pale white …

This expert from Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage was Duan Lianyu, at this moment, his expression was not very good, and his eyes were filled with helplessness: "Patriarch, I was too careless. It wasn't easy for me to break through to the Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage realm, and because I was too arrogant in my heart, I allowed the people from Mo Family and Yan Family to find an opportunity to injure me."

"Sigh …" "It doesn't matter. I can't do anything about it after what has happened. I hope that we can win the fight for the City Lord position ten days later!" Duan Tianya said.

Among the Baiming City, the three families', Mo Family and Yan Family were the strongest. And every five years, the three of them would hold a competition. Only the families who had won this competition would be able to become the City Lord of Baiming City. The rules of the competition was to choose three members from the second generation or from the second generation to fight.

The battle had already been won and there was a family that could decide who would be the next City Lord. The ones to fight this time were Duan Tianyang, Duan Tianyang, and Duan Lianyu.

Duan Lianyu and Duan Tianyang had both successfully broken through the Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage realm one month ago. Everyone felt that the Duan Family competition this time was already 90% certain, but they didn't expect that Yan Family and the Mo Family would actually join hands to plot against Duan Lianyu. At this time, Duan Lianyu still wasn't able to unleash 60% of his strength.

Originally, because of Ling Tianyu killing Mo Qingcheng and Yan Tianxiang, Yan Family and the Mo Family joined hands to deal with Duan Family, Duan Family was already at a disadvantage. If the city lord was taken away again, then the Duan Family would sink into the abyss of hell, and this way, the entire Duan Family would be destroyed.

After becoming the City Lord, the City Lord had the authority to administer the taxes for the businesses in the city, if the people from Yan Family became the City Lord. For example, in the business of Duan Family, if one could earn five hundred silver taels, then Yan Family could definitely be exchanged for two hundred silver taels, or even three hundred silver taels. Because this was a small and remote city, the imperial city did not care about it at all, as long as one had paid enough tax every year.

Only two hundred silver could be left. If one was charged with sixty percent of the taxes, then even if Yan Family and Mo Family did not attack the Duan Family, the Duan Family would still collapse on its own. Therefore, the position of the City Lord was extremely important to the Duan Family.

The days passed one by one, and the day of the battle for the City Lord position finally arrived. At this moment, all of the commoners in the Baiming City had arrived outside of the city gates of Baiming City.

He thought that the outside of the city of Baiming City was where he would become the city lord of the Great Star City this year. At this moment, everyone was gathered together.

The place was bustling with noise, everyone was discussing who the City Lord belonged to. At this time, the Patriarch of the Mo Family stood up and said: "Everyone, today is the day of our City Lord competition. The rules are as usual, very simple. It's just that our Mo Family, Duan Family, and Yan Family have sent three experts to the arena to carry out the great battle, and the ones that remained in the end are all allowed to nominate this time's City Lord. Alright, let's invite the experts of the three families to come up! " After saying that, the entire arena became lively.

It was obvious that most of the people had already been bribed by the Yan Family, and all of them supported the Yan Family. Soon after, two experts from the Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage walked over next to Patriarch Mo Xuanji, both of their faces revealing their confidence, they were experts of the Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage.

The Duan Family was extremely helpless as all the experts took themselves seriously. Only Duan Lianyu, Duan Tianya, and Duan Tianyang had reached the Earth Martial realm. Although Liu Tie and Duan Jingyun were both Earth Martial experts, they were not allowed to participate in the competition. Only the second generation disciples and disciples under the second generation level were allowed to participate in the competition.

This time, the fight was different from the previous fights. The Yan Family and Mo Family members came here with the determination to kill the Duan Family, it was simply uncontrollable. If the severely injured Duan Lianyu entered the arena, he might be killed in a few rounds.

At this time, only the two brothers Duan Tianyang and Duan Tianya were on stage in Duan Family. Everyone was filled with shock, as to why there were only two experts on stage in their family.

The people below the stage all started to discuss, "Look, the Duan Family is already beginning to decline. At this time, there are no longer experts present, only the Duan Family Master and Duan Tianyang. It seems like in these past three years, Mo Family and the Yan Family have teamed up and killed experts who could not be killed by Duan Family! "

Just in the few years that Ling Tianyu had been gone, there were quite a few Early Period of Earth Martial Stage experts with source spirits, but they were all killed in secret by Yan Family and their combined forces.

Patriarch of the Yan Family, Yan Zhentian saw Duan Tianya and the other two, and laughed out loud: "Don't tell me that there are no experts in your Duan Family? It's actually just the two of you. "

"The Patriarch of Mo Family, Mo Xuanji, also revealed a smile on his face. He was filled with disdain towards the two people of Yan Family; Enough of your rubbish, it's enough to deal with the two of us. " Duan Tianya said. "Hmph, you still dare to be stubborn in the face of death?" Yan Zhentian's eyes revealed a look of disdain.

"Don't waste time talking to them, let's go!" As Mo Xuanji spoke, he instantly led the two Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage experts behind him to charge forward, attacking Duan Tianyang and Duan Tianya.

The three Mo Family s attacked Duan Tianyang and Duan Tianya together, three ten-meter-long Sword Qis shot towards the two of them. The two of them jumped away, and in an instant, they launched their counterattacks towards the three Mo Family s, but just as they were about to counterattack, the other three Sword Qis behind them burst forth, carrying a dangerous aura as they attacked towards them.

"Be careful!" Duan Tianya shouted, and Duan Tianyang reacted immediately, quickly dodging with his feet on the ground. The three people from Mo Family directly surrounded Duan Tianya, while the other three people from Yan Family directly surrounded Duan Tianyang. Duan Tianyang had just entered the Middle Period of the Earth Martial Stage, and was immediately beaten back repeatedly by the three experts.

Duan Tianya's talent was slightly better than Duan Tianyang's, so he could barely resist the auras of Mo Family three.
