Chapter 1086, Leave No One Alive!

Translator: Silavin

 

“Ancestor…” Tie Fusheng’s heart was filled with bitterness.

 

He understood fully well that it was not a matter of him being spineless. Rather, he had seen clearly just how formidable the opposing party was. He knew that although there were only five of them, they were an existence that the entire Tie Family could not hope to defeat.

 

If they were willing to seek a truce, and the other side’s compassion was stirred, then perhaps the Tie Family still had hope to survive.

 

But if they chose to fight to the bitter end, the Tie Family’s fate was easy to predict: annihilation.

 

As the Patriarch of the Tie Family, how could he simply watch the Tie Family be wiped out!?

 

And so, it was for this very reason that he had spoken of seeking peace. His sole goal was to preserve the Tie Family.

 

Yet at this moment, the Tie Family Ancestor had clearly been consumed by fury, his judgement completely blinded by rage. Faced with enemies this formidable, was he truly going to choose to fight them head-on?

 

Then, Tie Family Ancestor proved through action that this was precisely his intention.

 

“The Tie Family has endured for a thousand years. From a small Family that had only just arrived at the Western Border, we fought to the death to claim land as Explorers. We gradually grew into a great Family of nearly a thousand people. We did not achieve this through capitulation and compromise!” The Tie Family Ancestor let out a great roar, his voice instantly reverberating throughout the entire base.

 

Tie Fusheng understood that these words were not spoken merely for his ears, they were spoken for every single member of the Tie Family to hear.

 

“A thousand years of foundation. What makes you think a few impudent youngsters could shake it!? To dare come to my Tie Family, harbouring delusions of uprooting our foundation, the only outcome is death!”

 

“All members of the Tie Family, hear my command! Attack! Cut down all those who invade! Leave no one alive!” With that, the Tie Family Ancestor led by example.

 

He swung the long spear in his hand behind his back, then stepped through the void, charging towards the position where Ye Wuxian and the others stood.

 

As he surged forward, streams of blue coloured aura coalesced around the Tie Family Ancestor, taking the form of a colossal Blue Dragon that came crashing towards Ye Wuxian and her companions.

 

Every member of the Tie Family had heard the Ancestor’s words from a moment ago, and every one of them now witnessed the Ancestor, who was ordinarily a figure seen but rarely, personally taking the field, charging at the very front of the assault.

 

In an instant, the Tie Family members who had already been beaten to the brink of despair by Ye Wuxian and her companions seemed to surge with renewed vigour, as though injected with something invigorating, each one growing feverishly animated.

 

“Even the Ancestor has personally taken action! What right do any of us have to be timid!? Charge! Kill them all!”

 

“They’re not Bosses. They’re nothing more than a handful of Players. We’re all Human. They don’t have three heads and six arms, do they? Can they really kill so many of us!?”

 

“Exactly. We’re all made of flesh and blood. Even if they’re Sixth Profession Players, it’s impossible for them to annihilate our Tie Family! I simply refuse to believe they have the power of Seventh Profession Players!”

 

“Our Snake Dragon may be dead, but the Ancestor’s strength surpasses even the Snake Dragon. With the Ancestor lending his strength, these women will surely be cut down!”

 

“Follow the Ancestor into battle! Can a thousand years of the Tie Family’s foundation truly be severed by a few women?!”

 

“Kill them all!”

 

The Tie Family members were without exception consumed by frenzied excitement. They brought out every item they had been reluctant to use in ordinary times and deployed them all at once, massively bolstering their own combat power, before throwing themselves into the fray without regard for their lives, determined to fight Ye Wuxian and her companions to the death.

 

Ye Wuxian witnessed this and could not help but let out a quiet sigh.

 

Truth be told, she was not a person who revelled in slaughter. Had the Tie Family members been willing to surrender, she would not have minded granting them a chance to live.

 

Of course, she was no saint either. Even if she were to let these people go, she would have the members of the Ye Family erase all of their levels and Professions, reducing them to cripples before she could allow it.

 

She could choose not to kill, but that did not mean she was in the habit of pardoning those who posed a danger to her.

 

Eliminating threats to herself was still something that had to be done.

 

But clearly, the Tie Family members at this moment were not about to grant themselves any chance of surviving.

 

Led by the Tie Family Ancestor, every one of these Tie Family members was attacking with a willingness to throw their lives away. Even if Ye Wuxian wished to spare them, there was nothing to be done about it.

 

After all, as things now stood, either she killed these Tie Family members, or she obediently withdrew and put the whole affair behind her. Otherwise, this battle had no prospect of reaching any conclusion whatsoever.

 

Ye Wuxian naturally was not going to choose the latter.

 

And so, she had no option but to let the killing begin in earnest.

 

“Sister Ye, be careful. This old man is stronger than any opponent we’ve faced before.” Qin Qiu’s voice rang out from within the Asura King, warning Ye Wuxian.

 

Ye Wuxian smiled and said. “I know.”

 

“He must be the Tie Family Ancestor. He is the strongest person in the Tie Family, so it makes perfect sense that he would be different from the others. But even if he is the Tie Family Ancestor, he still cannot kill me.”

 

“Xiao Qiu, the rest of you keep up your attacks. Just make sure you protect Sister Han. There’s no need to worry about me. This is a matter between myself and the Tie Family. Seeing the Tie Family Ancestor this powerful, I want to try to fight him alone. I want to continue testing the limits of my Ancient God Power.” With that, Ye Wuxian leapt from atop the Asura King, springing up into the air.

 

In an instant, her body burst into flames, transforming her into what seemed to be living fire, preserving only the subtlest traces of her facial features.

 

Having transformed into her Elemental Form, Ye Wuxian did not pause. She charged directly towards the Tie Family Ancestor, her intent clear to all.

 

The Tie Family Ancestor, upon witnessing the audacity of his opponent in daring to meet him alone, let out a roar.

 

He then maintained his momentum without breaking stride, thrusting his spear towards Ye Wuxian. From the tip of the spear came the resonant cry of a Dragon, and in an instant, a Snake Dragon coalesced into form and came lunging at Ye Wuxian with snapping jaws.

 

Ye Wuxian neither dodged nor evaded. She collided with it head-on, her body instantly shattering, scattering across the sky like a magnificent burst of fireworks.

 

Seeing the Tie Family Ancestor strike down one of the enemies with a single spear thrust, the Tie Family members were immediately galvanised, every one of them surging with excitement.

 

Sure enough, the Ancestor was the Ancestor. His power was truly extraordinary.

 

For a moment, numerous voices rang out, crying the Tie Family Ancestor’s name in exaltation.

 

Yet the Tie Family Ancestor’s expression was anything but pleased. Others might not notice but how could he not notice?

 

His single spear thrust had indeed caused the opponent to disintegrate. In all appearances, she had been instantly slain. But in reality, his attack had not dealt a single point of Damage to her.

 

[Just how peculiar is her Skill Effect? How could she be completely Immune to Damage!?] The Tie Family Ancestor was still lost in thought over this when the fire raining across the sky had already re-coalesced, reconstituting itself as Ye Wuxian.

 

Ye Wuxian also retrieved Refined Ashless, wrapping the flames around herself.

 

In an instant, Refined Ashless was likewise assimilated by Ye Wuxian, transforming into a spear wreathed entirely in fire.

 

This scene finally made the Tie Family members understand, the opponent had not been instantly slain by the Tie Family Ancestor’s spear at all.

 

In an instant, the euphoric mood from a moment ago was considerably dampened.

 

“Again!” Ye Wuxian was bathed in fire from head to toe. She levelled her spear at the Tie Family Ancestor with a shake of her arm, her murderous intent soaring.
