The originally retreating warriors of the Chen Clan were now able to hold their own against the numerous warriors of the Liu Family, even gaining momentum as the battle progressed.
In contrast, the warriors of the Liu Family were stunned by this turn of events.
Even Liu Zishan, the well-experienced Clan Chief, was caught off guard by the scene before him.
He could feel the immense boost brought by this combat skill, but he also saw its significant drawbacks.
It would be one thing if only one person used this combat skill, but now even a Body Tempering Realm warrior was self-destructing.
Even if they won, the clan would be crippled, wouldn’t it?
How could such a combat skill be allowed to circulate within the clan? Wouldn’t that lead to the clan’s self-destruction?
Where was the Chen Clan Chief? Wasn’t he going to do something about this?
Liu Zishan scanned the crowd for Ethan Chen’s figure and soon spotted him, having just exploded two of his organs, his strength surging.
As the Clan Chief, Ethan was naturally given special attention by the Liu Family warriors. Facing the assault of two late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warriors, if he didn’t use this combat skill, his old and weakened body might not last much longer.
This left Liu Zishan speechless.
At this point, there was nothing more to say.
Seeing many of his clan members starting to get injured, Liu Zishan stepped forward again and shouted:
“Hold on, they can’t keep this up for long!”
He was also curious to know how long the strength boost from this combat skill could last.
As long as his clan members could hold on, once his great-uncle destroyed the Sacred Tree, the Chen Clan would have no chance left!
Even with the use of this combat skill, the Liu Family warriors still held the advantage.
The disparity in clan strength couldn’t be bridged by this alone.
On the other side, Liu Shengrong had already reached a spot ten meters away from the Ancestral Hall.
From his vantage point in the air, he could see the scene inside the Ancestral Hall clearly.
The Sophora Tree standing in the hall, with its faintly glowing leaves, quickly caught his attention.
The moment he saw the Sophora Tree, a trace of seriousness appeared on Liu Shengrong’s face.
He had thought the Chen Clan was just a small clan with good luck, but this Sophora Tree gave him a different feeling.
Liu Shengrong no longer hesitated and flew forward, preparing to destroy the Sacred Tree.
Just then, a sharp wind suddenly assaulted his ears, causing a great sense of danger to arise in Liu Shengrong’s heart!
“Another expert?”
Even while airborne and under surprise attack, his mid-stage Innate Realm strength allowed him to calmly twist his body like a pretzel, successfully dodging the ambush.
A fist whizzed past his ear.
After dodging, Liu Shengrong finally noticed the attacker.
It was a handsome young man, appearing just over twenty years old, but surprisingly at the Innate Realm.
This greatly astonished Liu Shengrong.
Wasn’t it said that the Chen Clan had no Innate Realm warriors? Where did this person come from?
But upon closer inspection, Liu Shengrong quickly noticed something amiss. Although the young man was at the Innate Realm, his muscles and qi and blood hadn’t fully integrated, lacking the true essence of an Innate Realm warrior.
“Heh, so you reached the Innate Realm by borrowing something else! This must be the ability of your clan’s Sacred Tree, right?”
Understanding this, Liu Shengrong’s face returned to calm.
Oliver Chen didn’t respond. Having used the Sophora Leaf, he had barely reached the Innate Realm, but he couldn’t sustain it for long. He needed to end this quickly!
Missing his first strike, Oliver stepped forward again, using the Grand Ancestor Long Fist to attack Liu Shengrong!
As long as he was here, no one could touch the Sacred Tree of the clan!
Liu Shengrong, at the mid-stage Innate Realm, was using a profound-level combat skill from his clan and had fallen from the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.
In terms of combat experience and other aspects, he completely outmatched Oliver, who had reached the Innate Realm through external means.
Facing Oliver’s attacks, Liu Shengrong saw numerous flaws.
But after a few exchanges, Liu Shengrong’s expression changed slightly.
This kid wasn’t afraid of death!
Every attack was a trade of injury for injury, even life for life.
Liu Shengrong didn’t want to get injured. He didn’t think the Chen Clan could injure him, but if he did get injured, it could affect his recovery and disrupt his rhythm for breaking through to the Internal Qi Realm.
So, facing Oliver’s suicidal attacks, Liu Shengrong chose to avoid direct confrontation, instead relying on his profound-level combat skill and rich experience to fight.
After several rounds, Oliver was already pale, with many wounds on his body, while Liu Shengrong remained unscathed.
This was the difference between them.
But Oliver’s fighting style still annoyed Liu Shengrong, making it difficult for him to break through his defense.
Sensing the ongoing battles of other clan members, Liu Shengrong knew he needed to end this quickly.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Just as he was about to go all out, several explosions suddenly sounded in his ears.
When he looked at Oliver again, he saw several bloodstains on his upper body, but following that, Oliver’s initial Innate Realm strength suddenly surged to mid-stage Innate Realm, even vaguely approaching late-stage Innate Realm.
In terms of pure realm, he was even slightly higher than Liu Shengrong now!
This made Liu Shengrong’s face darken.
This damned combat skill! He had underestimated the Chen Clan!
But having the realm without the corresponding strength, how long could he last?
Despite his pale face from exploding four organs, Oliver’s eyes were exceptionally clear.
The duration of the Sophora Leaf was limited. If he couldn’t resolve this quickly, the clan would be doomed.
This was why he had just exploded four organs in a row; he needed more power, and only the Five Organs Ascension Technique could provide it.
At this moment, Oliver felt himself enveloped by immense power, even ignoring the pain from his body.
With his realm breaking through again, his speed and strength were greatly enhanced, and even his previous confusion about the Grand Ancestor Long Fist became clear.
Time was pressing, and without hesitation, Oliver attacked Liu Shengrong again.
This time, Liu Shengrong didn’t handle it as easily as before, instead becoming cautious due to Oliver’s attacks.
In his eyes, Oliver was already a dead man. As long as he could stall a bit longer, Oliver would surely die, so why risk getting injured?
Outside, the people of the Chen Clan were slowly retreating, getting closer to the Ancestral Hall!
Though the Five Organs Ascension Technique could provide immense power in a short time, as their qi and blood drained, their strength rapidly declined.
To buy more time, many clan members had already exploded their second, even third organs!
But the effects of the later organs weren’t as good as the first, as their injuries accelerated the loss of qi and blood! However, this did buy the clan some time.
