Chapter 313: Chapter 313. Lin Clan’s Bane
A loud murmur sounded from the crowd who followed the kingdom army to Lin Clan Estate. As for the Lin Clan mbers, they were shocked and turned silent after hearing Lin Bang’s words.
Lin Bubai broke the silence first. "What the hell are you saying, Lin Bang? That is not true...!!!"
Lin Weida told Pu Zhang, "Senior minister, there must have been a misunderstanding. Let us get to the bottom of this!"
"There is no need to deny, Clan Master Lin Weida," Wei Suangsou said. "We have seen multiple suspicious individuals coming and going from your estate. We have captured these individuals, who were proven to be part of the rebels’ network."
"This... This is slander!" Lin Weida exclaid. "There are no such things!"
"It’s too late to deny it! We have already presented all the evidence to the royal court! The crown prince himself had signed the decree for the eradication of the Lin Clan as part of the rebel’s network. There is nothing you can do to get out of this."
"You...! You have conspired to bring about this lie!" Lin Weida exclaid.
"Take it however you want. Lin Clan’s fate is sealed," Wei Suangsou said.
Lin Weida was so furious he couldn’t speak. He wanted to lunge forward to tear the despicable Wei Suangsou to pieces, but Jiang Bo stood between them.
"Explaining to you why this happens can already be considered giving you face," Pu Zhang lifted his arm. It was a signal for the army that encircled the place. "Have solace of knowing the reasons you go to your grave and have comfort that you go there with your family."
The sky was soon filled with arrows. The arrows ca from all over. They were shot by the troops surrounding the place. The arrows were so many they almost covered the sky above.
"Defend...!!!" Lin Weida commanded when the arrows were almost upon them.
So Lin Clan mbers were still so bewildered by the situation they only watched as the arrows ca at them. Their minds were having a hard ti believing this was truly happening. Lin Weida’s yell snapped them out of their stupor. They imdiately used their arts to face the incoming arrows.
Multiple elental energies were released. They clashed with the incoming arrows. Most arrows were destroyed or deflected, but so slipped past. These arrows were also powered by martial and arcane arts. They were not simple arrow barrages.
The arrows that slipped through stabbed into the poor mbers who happened to be in their paths. So were wounded. So died because the arrows hit their vital parts. Cries of pain and shock filled the Lin Clan mbers. Lin Weida listened to those cries with a despairing heart.
To make matters worse, a second barrage of arrows filled the sky.
"Bastard! If you want to massacre us, then don’t bla us for fighting back!" Lin Weida exclaid. "Lin Clan! Kill these bastards who desire to exterminate us...!!!"
His body shot into the sky. He released a powerful shockwave that whacked one-fifth of the arrows out of their flight paths.
"Kill...!!!" Lin Bubai echoed his father’s shout. The rest of the Lin Clan mbers also roared. If they just stood and did nothing, it was no different than an execution. This was now a battle for survival.
So jumped up and knocked the arrows away as Lin Weida did. So ran to the outer periter to engage the soldiers who fired the arrows.
"Hehe... This is more like it," Jiang Bo uttered. He shot up into the sky with a thundering shout, "Clan master, let
be the one who escorts you to your grave!"
Jiang Bo’s giant hamr glowed again. With a swing, a massive energy wave headed toward Lin Weida.
A long sword appeared in Lin Weida’s hand. Lin Weida thrust the sword. A blue straight light shot forward following the thrust. The blue light collided with Jiang Bo’s hamr. The collision resulted in a powerful explosion that threw both parties back.
When Lin Weida stopped his backward montum, a water layer coated his body. This water layer burst with a big splash as he shot back at Jiang Bo. The split water coalesced into multiple human-sized bodies. All displayed similar features to Lin Weida.
Lin Weida rushed forward with his water clones. His water clones moved even faster than him. They zood around in zig-zag patterns as they approached Jiang Bo.
"Hahaha! Not bad for a clan master," Jiang Bo laughed. He didn’t feel intimidated in the slightest.
The air around Jiang Bo shimred. Lin Weida felt the earth pulling him again. While his cultivation level made this pull affect him only slightly, his water clones were more affected. Their absurd speed slowed to a crawl. This was because the pull contained the earth elent that trumped the water elent of the clones.
While the water clones slowed, Jiang Bo’s seemingly heavy hamr flashed as if it were weightless. The flash of his hamr went in a zig-zag pattern, smashing all the water clones that were slowed. Each water clone was crushed with a splat. The flash of Jiang Bo’s hamr didn’t stop. It continued toward Lin Weida.
Unlike his water clones, Lin Weida’s speed wasn’t affected as much. He turned into another water clone when the hamr ca smashing, but his real body had zood elsewhere.
He thrust his sword, which conjured multiple piercing swordlights. Jiang Bo spun after his hamr failed to hit Lin Weida. The spun conjured a hurricane of force that blocked all the swordlights.
Lin Weida pushed on his offensive by thrusting his finger. Water vapor shot out of his finger. These water vapors turned into countless water needles as they advanced. The water needles were thin enough to slip through the hurricane ford by Jiang Bo’s hamr.
However, before the water needles could stab Jiang Bo’s body, a sphere with intense gravitational force erupted from his body. The water needles were as if hitting a solid wall. They splattered under the intense gravity.
Realizing his water arcane arts were useless, Lin Weida resigned to only using his martial arts. His sword stabbed and slashed at high speed. Jiang Bo went into defense when faced with these high-speed attacks.
Lin Weida wanted to keep the major general in a defensive state but felt an incoming attack from behind. He turned just in ti to block a gigantic tal saber. The clash threw the ambusher away, who was revealed to be Wei Suangsou.
"Bastard!" Lin Weida cursed. Wei Suangsou’s cultivation was weaker than his. But with his fighting Jiang Bo, Wei Suangsou’s interference caused extre disadvantage.
Jiang Bo himself didn’t seem to mind the help. He laughed, "Hahaha! Good, Master Wei, let’s do this together so we can wrap this up fast."
Fighting two Spirit Stage opponents put Lin Weida into a passive state. He could only defend. When his attention was fully on his two opponents, an arrow slipped past and struck his shoulder.
"Arghh...!!" Lin Weida scread from the pain.
The arrow ca from the bow of another kingdom officer who seed to be at the Spirit Stage since he could fly.
"Good work, Senior Colonel Liu Xun!" Jiang Bo complinted the kingdom officer ard with the bow and arrow.
He zood above Lin Weida when the clan master was distracted by pain. His hamr again conjured a massive force as it was brought down. Lin Weida couldn’t dodge this blow due to the distraction. He used his sword to block the blow. The blow was so hard it sent him shooting toward the ground.
He exerted his power to stop himself from hitting the ground. He floated around ten ters above the ground. His sword was cracked from the blow. However, it was not the sight of his sword cracking that sank his heart. It was the sight of his clan mbers fighting on the ground.
They were severely outnumbered by the kingdom soldiers. Kingdom soldiers also generally possessed better equipnt. The power gap was too vast. Lin Weida froze as he watched his clan mbers getting butchered.
He saw his son Lin Bubai leading their clan mbers to fight Wei Linkun, who was aided by the kingdom soldiers and several civilian-clothed cultivators not of the Wei Clan. He didn’t know these civilian-clothed cultivators were mbers of the Yan Clan. Yan Clan joined this operation because they, too, wanted to enact vengeance on Amon by wiping out his clan.
Among the Yan Clan mbers who joined this operation was Yan Dose. He was laughing as he slew the younger mbers of the Lin Clan. "Hahaha! Serve you right! If you want anyone to bla, bla Lin Mo for this!!"
"Lin... Lin Mo...?" Lin Weida uttered. He was confused when he heard this, but understanding dawned on him soon. Lin Mo must have done sothing that angered this unknown clan, the Wei Clan, and even the kingdom officials. The anger was so much that it was turned toward his Lin Clan.
Lin Weida sighed heavily. It turned out Lin Mo was their bane, after all.
He was not allowed much ti to think because Jiang Bo and Wei Suangsou were already upon him again.
"Give it up, clan master!" Jiang Bo exclaid. "Today, the Lin Clan will be wiped out from existence!!"
