The Ling House Courtyard had already reached a critical moment!
When countless black-robed experts suddenly launched their attack on the Ling House Courtyard, Ling Chen was with Shui QianRou and Yu BingYan.
By the time the three ladies rushed out, the entire Ling House Courtyard had already descended into chaos!
Less than four hours had passed since she received news that the Lei Family had infiltrated Sky Bearing. While Ling Chen had already tried her best to deploy the surrounding forces, it was obvious that the emptied Sky Bearing City did not have much manpower left … especially when compared to the luxurious lineup of the Lei Family, they were unable to withstand a single blow …
At this moment, the various ambushes that Ling Tian had ordered to be installed were put to use …
The head of the Lei Family, Lei ZhenTian, was a very traditional person who was very particular about the etiquette of an aristocratic family. Apart from those of the same status as him, he was not willing to even look at others. Thus, in his heart, there were not many people in the world who had the qualifications to cooperate with him. However, Yu ManLou was undoubtedly one of them, and he was also the one at the top of the list.
At the same time, he was also a very cautious and prudent person. He was clear that for a family to be viewed as an enemy by Yu ManLou, they had to at least possess a certain level of strength. In order to deal with such a force, he had to send out a certain level of strength. Thus, for this attack on the Ling family, he was not the slightest bit careless. He directly ordered for the entire Lei Family to move out in full force, with a total of over 3,500 people!
A family head, seven elders, three deacons, tens of core disciples, and the various hall heads. Just the strength of the experts alone numbered close to 200. True experts!
Lei ZhenTian was never willing to fight a battle that he had no confidence in. However, since he had to fight, he had to use the momentum of a lion hunting a rabbit. Lei ZhenTian was certain that with his strength, even if the Ling family Courtyard was hiding some unknown secrets, he would definitely be able to wipe them out.
In this period of time, Lei ZhenTian had carefully studied the situation in Heavenly Star. He was also clear that the most important factor was undoubtedly the Ling family. Disdain for the Ling family's status was one thing, but the true strength of the Ling family was another. Lei ZhenTian was extremely clear on the difference between the two.
The Ling family was like a nouveau riche family. Be it in terms of economy, military, or martial arts, they were all nouveau riche. Thus, with so many explosiveness gathered together, they formed an extremely terrifying force.
Lei ZhenTian had always despised the explosiveness of the Ling family, but as an opponent, he did not dare to be careless. As long as it was related to the Ling family, he would carefully study it, without missing a single detail detail!
Thus, Lei ZhenTian was able to accurately grasp the moment when the Ling Family Courtyard was at its weakest. Naturally, he also made use of this opportunity to propose a deal with Yu ManLou.
Under such circumstances, no matter how harsh the conditions were, Yu ManLou would definitely not reject or dare to reject his help. Thus, Lei ZhenTian's. It was an expected success.
On the other hand, Lei ZhenTian was not afraid that Yu ManLou would go back on his word!
This attack on Sky Bearing was also the first battle for the Lei family to establish their might in Heavenly Star! At the same time, it was also a shock to Tamago! Since they were working together, they naturally had to display their strength. Lei ZhenTian was not willing to let his Lei family be treated as a pawn by Yu ManLou. As long as he successfully destroyed the Ling family, Sky Bearing would undoubtedly fall into the hands of the Lei family. Even if Tamago were to fall out with him, with the combined strength of the Lei family and the Ling family, even if Tamago were to win, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price. Thus, Lei ZhenTian was extremely at ease.
Lei ZhenTian's goal was not to become the world's overlord, but absolute power! Even if he was not on the same level as Yu ManLou, he wanted to be only below Yu ManLou, but above everyone else in the world!
With such strength, would Yu ManLou dare to not let me ascend the throne? A casual order from me would cause you to be unable to eat or sleep in peace, and the world would be thrown into chaos!
Furthermore, Lei ZhenTian was an extremely rational person. In truth, even if Yu ManLou felt that his price was too high and rejected his request, Lei ZhenTian would still take action against the Ling family.
While the Ling family was Tamago's greatest enemy, how could they not be the Lei family's greatest enemy? Since the Lei family was on the same side as Tamago, Ling Tian would definitely not let the Lei family off. The moment Ling Tian was able to catch his breath and free up his hands, it would be a tough battle for him. With Ling Tian's past achievements and Lei ZhenTian's self-confidence, he did not have the confidence to win.
Right now, Ling Tian's side was at their weakest. How could he miss such a heaven-sent opportunity? If he did not take action now, when would he be able to?
Furthermore, Lei ZhenTian would definitely not allow a grassroots family, a nouveau riche, to suppress him! Even if they were on the same level, Lei ZhenTian would not allow it. How could the high and mighty Lei family be compared to a grassroots family like the Ling family?
Thus, Lei ZhenTian came here full of ambition.
In his imagination, this operation would be at their weakest moment, and it would definitely be a one-sided massacre. With the main figures of the opposition not present, especially their backbone, Ling Tian, how hard would it be to take care of the old and weak? The lineup of the Lei family this time could be said to be extremely luxurious, with almost all of their forces deployed to deal with the Ling House which was not at its peak. It was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
Thus, Lei ZhenTian split his troops into two groups. One group would be led by his second brother, Lei ZhenPeng, to attack the Ling family in Sky Bearing. The other group would be led by the top experts of the Lei family, personally led by Lei ZhenTian, to attack the Ling House!
However, while the Ling House's defense was not even a third of its usual strength, it was still impossible for the Lei family to take it down in one go!
What Lei ZhenTian did not expect was that they would meet with such a huge problem in the first round of attacking the Ling House. Right from the start, they had mobilized close to 20 top-notch experts to take care of the guards at the city gates. Before they could even rejoice, they had already alerted the other party. Following the soft ringing of bells, the entire Ling House turned into a sea of bells, with all the bells ringing crazily.
Lei ZhenTian felt as though his troops had entered a swamp.
And this swamp was the bloodiest devil in the world!
He never imagined that there would be so many traps in the Ling House's courtyard. Furthermore, they were arranged in such a strange manner.
Cold arrows were shot out non-stop, with flying knives, steel needles, iron, lotus seeds, and other hidden weapons flying out of nowhere. The moment they stepped on the seemingly solid ground, a fatal pit would appear out of thin air. The ground was difficult to walk on, so they should be able to walk on it. However, when they passed by a few trees, a thick poisonous smoke suddenly sprayed out from the trees …
Seeing his elite subordinates suffer such heavy casualties in such a short period of time, Lei ZhenTian's heart ached, and he flew into a rage! This was the foundation for him to gain a firm foothold in the future and strive for the top of the world. In the first wave of attacks, close to 200 of his elite disciples had died, and the price they paid was only a few dozen guards, and a large number of traps. Not to mention the hundreds of injured and poisoned people!
Lei ZhenTian let out a long howl, and gave the order. Close to 3000 people formed ten sharp knife formations, with each formation having at least three experts at the front, leading the troops through this terrifying blood-sucking area.
However, this method was indeed effective. Under the leadership of a group of top-notch experts, the traps in the Ling House's courtyard were no longer of much use. Only the arrows from all directions could still cause some damage, but as the Lei Family experts closed in, they gradually lost their effectiveness.
Because it was a night raid, and all the people who came were experts, more than half of the sentries and guards were killed in an instant. The Lei Family had also concentrated their forces to break through, causing the powerful city-guarding crossbows that Ling Tian had installed on the walls of the Ling House to be completely ineffective. Otherwise, just these powerful city-guarding crossbows alone would have caused a considerable number of casualties to the Lei Family, and at least 30% of their troops would have been left behind.
After the Lei Family successfully broke through the first line of defense, the troops of the Ling House's courtyard finally reacted. This was not because the Ling House's reaction was too slow, but because the Lei Family's attack this time was too sudden, and their strength was abnormally strong, resulting in the current situation. The Ling House's courtyard was in chaos, and countless torches were lit and thrown everywhere. However, when the Ling House's courtyard was built, Ling Tian had already expected this. All the rooms were made of limestone and mud bricks, so they were not afraid of fire attacks, and only added to the chaos.
Suddenly, when the attack reached the third courtyard, a sharp whistle sounded, and the Ling family guards who were fighting with the Lei Family suddenly retreated like a tide. At the same time, the surroundings lit up, and more than a hundred torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the huge courtyard as if it was daytime.
A cold voice said indifferently, "I wonder where you came from, to cause trouble in the Ling House's courtyard. Do you have the guts to state your name?" This voice was calm, not angry, and gentle, but with a trace of coldness.
Following the voice, a beautiful woman in a snow-white robe suddenly appeared on the roof in front of them. She was like a fairy from the moon or Chang 'e who had suddenly descended to the world. She had a pure and holy aura around her as she looked at the experts of the Lei Family below indifferently. The night wind gently blew her snow-white robes, as if she would fly away with the wind at any time.
Everyone in the Lei Family was stunned by her peerless beauty, and for a moment, they were speechless. Even the head of the Lei Family, Lei ZhenTian, was no exception. Everyone felt that not to mention killing such a beautiful woman, even if they spoke loudly, it would be a form of blasphemy.
Beside Lei ZhenTian, a young man in black clothes stared blankly, his face full of enchantment, and said, "Little girl, big brother is Lei Xiaosong, the young master of the Lei Family. What is your name, little girl?"
Lei ZhenTian and the rest who were beside him almost fainted from anger. Although they had full confidence that they would win against the Ling House's courtyard, they would inevitably make an extremely difficult enemy in Ling Tian. Originally, the Lei Family had already made up their mind to not make a sound, and not reveal their family's identity unless it was absolutely necessary. When the time came, even if Ling Tian suspected them, there would be no real evidence. Even if there was a chance, they could still push the blame to Tamago. Who would have thought that his son would be so disappointing, losing his mind at the sight of a beautiful woman, and actually foolishly revealing his family's identity. From the looks of it, it was as if he wanted to reveal three generations of his ancestors. Now, even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't. Besides, this matter was too shameful. With so many people present, it was possible to defeat them, but it was impossible to kill all of them!
Ling Tian, this extremely dangerous enemy of his, could be considered to have been formed!
Including Lei ZhenTian and the rest of the Lei Family's experts, Ling Chen's group of people in the Ling House's courtyard, there were many peerless experts present. However, no one noticed that on top of a towering tree in the Ling House's courtyard, within the dense foliage, there was a man in black clothes quietly hiding there. When he heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up coldly, and he softly said to himself, "The world is indeed full of strange things. There really is such a small character who is so obsessed with lust. This little bastard from the Lei Family can be considered an anomaly. "
As he said that, he let out a long sigh and frowned as he said softly, "This daddy here originally wanted to settle the score with Ling Tian. Dammit, I didn't manage to find Ling Tian and instead met with such a matter. Should I interfere or not? No matter if it's reasonable or not, it's too easy for that little bastard Ling Tian to interfere! "
Shaking his head, the hesitant man in black sighed softly, and narrowed his eyes.
Under the tree, the girl in white coldly looked over from afar. When she saw the lecherous look on Lei XiaoSong's face, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, and coldly said, "It's actually the experts of the Lei Family?? The Lei Family and our Ling family have never had any enmity, and neither do we have any connections. Why are they attacking us for no reason? Please give us a reason! "
The girl in white was Ling Chen. When she heard that there was a sudden attack, Ling Chen didn't rush out to meet the enemy. She wanted to make sure that everything was well prepared. Ling Chen immediately made the first decision, and that was to send people to escort Xiao YanXue and Meng Lige into the secret cave in the mountain. Although the two of them strongly objected, under Ling Chen's orders, they were forcefully escorted into the cave.
In Ling Chen's heart, even if the Ling House could be lost, Meng Lige and Xiao YanXue definitely couldn't be lost. One of them was in charge of military affairs, while the other was in charge of finance. Even if the Ling House was lost, as long as the two of them were safe, Ling Tian would be able to reorganize the Ling family's power in the shortest time possible, and bring glory back!
Thus, nothing must happen to the two of them.
When Ling Chen was about to escort the heavily injured Ling Chi into the secret cave, she discovered that this experienced young assassin had already disappeared from the room where he was recuperating. Although no one knew where he went, everyone could guess what he was going to do …
As for Yu BingYan, this usually gentle and weak girl, at this moment, displayed a rarely seen determination. She threatened to die, and swore not to retreat, insisting on staying with Ling Chen. Ling Chen had no choice but to agree. At the same time, she secretly instructed Shui QianRou to take Yu BingYan away if the situation didn't seem right.
Ling Chen didn't even think about what would happen to her. The moment she saw the aura of the incoming enemies, she knew that this was the moment when the defenses of the Ling Family Courtyard were at their weakest ever. This was also the moment where the Ling Family Courtyard was unable to avoid a life and death battle! The strength of the enemy had already far surpassed all the previous enemies. Even at the peak of their strength, they might not be able to guarantee victory, let alone now. The current Ling House definitely didn't have the ability to resist.
A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The Ling House wasn't a place where people could trample on as they wished! Ling Chen's eyes were overflowing with killing intent, and her heart was boiling with murderous intent. You want to destroy my Ling House? You'll have to pay the price!
As the mistress of the Ling House, Ling Chen had already made up her mind. Even if she had to risk her life, she would protect her own property for her lover!
Under her instructions, the remaining experts of the Ling Family Courtyard, Ling Feng, Ling Yun, Ling Lei, Ling Dian, and Ling Twenty-two, all of whom were unknown but famous assassins, had already secretly chosen the location and target of their assassination. Ling Chen's instructions were only one: No matter which target they chose, they had to kill them in a single strike! However, they had to ensure their own safety and strength. They couldn't afford to lose their lives just to assassinate someone!
Ling Liu, Ling Seven, Ling Eight, and Ling Jiu were hiding behind Ling Chen. Ling Chen sternly instructed the four of them: No matter what, they had to protect their own lives! This was because they definitely couldn't die. In the hands of the four of them, they controlled Ling Tian's information network that covered the entire world … They were Ling Tian's eyes and ears, and also the most important foundation of his strength!
Ling Chen's cold gaze landed on Lei ZhenTian, and she slowly said, "Lei Family Head, Lei ZhenTian?!" While her words sounded like a question, her tone was filled with certainty.
That's right, Ling Chen only had a single goal at this moment, and that was to stall for time as much as possible. This was Sky Bearing, after all, the territory of the Ling family. Every second they dragged on would increase the chances of reinforcements arriving.
Lei ZhenTian only felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He never imagined that this white-dressed lady's eyesight would be so sharp, being able to pick him out with a single glance. At this moment, Lei ZhenTian suddenly had a feeling in his heart. He felt as though this white-dressed lady was high up in the air, looking down on him from above. This was the first time Lei ZhenTian had such a feeling in his life. Even when he was facing the Tamago Family Head, Yu ManLou, he didn't have such a feeling of being at a disadvantage!
However, this white-dressed lady seemed to have the power of the entire world in her hands, making a character like Lei ZhenTian feel ashamed of his inferiority in front of her!
After coughing twice, Lei ZhenTian calmly said, "This seat is Lei ZhenTian of the Lei Family. May I ask who this lady is? What position do you hold in the Ling House Courtyard? "
Ling Chen looked at him calmly, without any anger in her eyes, and said, "This seat is Ling Chen, the owner of this Ling House Courtyard."
"You are the owner of the Ling House Courtyard? This … this means that you are the woman of that silkpants thief, Ling Tian? " Before Lei ZhenTian could say anything, his son, Lei XiaoSong, by the side, had already shouted out. His voice was filled with sadness and anger, as well as intense jealousy.
Ling Chen looked at him with disdain, and said proudly, "The owner of the Ling House Courtyard is naturally young noble Ling Tian's woman."
Lei XiaoSong roared out in anger, almost vomiting blood, and shouted, "Kill! Kill them all! Don't leave a single one alive! " The moment this fellow saw Ling Chen, he was completely captivated by her peerless beauty. He only felt that this girl was pure and holy with an outstanding beauty. In his heart, he had already made up his mind that this girl was definitely going to be his. Who would have thought that she would actually admit that she was Ling Tian's woman without any hesitation? This made Lei XiaoSong so jealous that he was about to go crazy!
"I didn't expect that the Lei Family would actually have two Family Heads." Ling Chen's eyes were clearly filled with disdain, and she said disdainfully, "When the Family Head is speaking, there is actually someone who can take his place and give orders. The Lei Family Head really has a good upbringing. I wonder if it is the father who listens to the son, or the son who listens to the father."
Ling Chen's ridicule caused the faces of the Lei Family members to turn ugly, while the Ling Family members burst out into laughter and whistles of mockery could be heard.
Lei ZhenTian's face darkened, and he said solemnly, "Who is the Family Head of the Lei Family, or the upbringing of the family, is not for the lady to worry about. On the other hand, the lady's plan of stalling for time should be dismissed as soon as possible. Before tomorrow morning, there will definitely not be any reinforcements. And within this period of time, it is enough for us to raze the Ling House Courtyard to the ground! "
At this moment, the other members of the Lei Family had also gathered here, their swords gleaming, their faces ferocious.
Ling Chen looked indifferently at the experts of the Lei Family gathered below her feet, and said coldly, "Since that is the case, please introduce us to the experts of the Lei Family. This will also allow us, the younger generation, to know who killed us, to avoid being confused ghosts in the netherworld."
Lei ZhenTian's eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted, "Bitch! You actually dare to stall for time?! "
With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Kill!"
If they were to wait for Lei ZhenTian to introduce his men, even if it was just the core of the Lei Family, it would take at least half an hour. And by then, Ling Chen would still be able to unhurriedly bring up countless topics …
Hence, Lei ZhenTian made a prompt decision.
Ling Chen shouted coldly, "Wait! I still have something to say. "
Lei ZhenTian raised his hand and said, "Don't tell me you want to surrender?" The moment he said that, Lei XiaoSong, who was beside him, was immediately overjoyed. If this beauty actually surrendered, then he would …
A trace of a smile appeared on Ling Chen's cold face, and it was as if a holy snow lotus had suddenly bloomed. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
At this moment, Ling Chen fiercely said, "This is the Ling House Courtyard. Those who come here are guests, and guests should follow the wishes of the host. If you want to kill, then I should be the one to say it! Kill! "
Since we are going to fight, then I will take the initiative! Ling Chen thought excitedly. In this way, with such an excellent opportunity that she had created, the actions of Ling Feng and the rest would be much more convenient.
Before he finished speaking, five figures shot out from the shadows like lightning. Almost at the same time, five consecutive screams rang out in the field!
