"After this tempering, my body is strong enough to lift rocks weighing more than 30,000 kilograms." Sitting cross-legged on the vulture-shaped rock on the top of the cliff, gazing in the distance in the direction of Chu Family Fort, Chu Tian pondered secretly.

"What a powerful and terrifying secret method. If I can go through this kind of tempering a few more times, I will be able to fight against top-level masters with my physical strength alone." Chu Tian smiled slightly, and the Qingjiao sword, which usually felt a bit heavy in his hand, was as light as a feather and was rolling between his five fingertips.

“However, the next tempering will have to wait until the magic power in the stone lamp undergoes the next transformation. To understand the specific situation, continuous practice and continuous understanding are required.” Chu Tian excitedly slapped the rock with his palm. A flash of sword light flashed at the edge of his palm, and his palm, like a sharp sword, sank deeply into the hard rock.

"It's hard to imagine, if my physical strength can be 100,000, 200,000, or even 1 million pounds. How powerful can my sword and punch be?" Chu Tian touched the silver chain around his neck. The ancestral pillow had disappeared, but he still wore the silver chain as a thought.

"The Great Dream Divine Scripture is indeed an extraordinary thing. The secret techniques inherited in this scripture are one thing, but the magical powers that come with it are so incredible. It's truly amazing. I really don't know who left this inheritance." Chu Tian took a deep breath, and the martial energy in his body began to flow happily through his meridians.

At this moment, Chu Tian's 360 years of cultivation of Wu Yuan was rushing through his meridians, just like a stream flowing in the riverbed of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, without causing any pressure on his meridians.

Chu Tian’s current physical foundation can definitely be compared with those top-notch masters, and may even be better than them.

Agou and Aque, who were dazed, walked over with their eyes blinking.

Master Shu was jumping around them, trying to shift the blame: "You can't blame Master Shu. It was your brother Tian who said you've been working hard these past two days, so he told you to get some more sleep and get enough rest! Wow, I just sprinkled some black sweet fragrance on each of you. What's the big deal?"

"Hurry up, go get some wild boars and sheep! Oh, your brother Tian is not a good cook. Master Rat is still hungry."

"Remember, the pig intestines must be cleaned and removed thoroughly. No pig feces can be left behind! Last time, it was that little bastard who left such a large piece of pig feces in his large intestine. Oh, isn't this a trap for his ancestors?"

Lord Rat was showing off his might in a high and mighty manner. Agou and Aque, who were confused and had no idea what was going on, responded and brought a dozen big men with them, and hurriedly rushed into the jungle again.

Dozens of miles away, south of Chu Family Fort, the coalition forces of thirty-two wealthy families had already been organized in the rolling hills.

One by one, small teams of a thousand men responded to each other, and then a shout was heard. With the private army of the Li and Zhao families as the vanguard, the mighty private army of the wealthy and powerful families attacked the Chu Family Fort like a black tide.

These private armies of the wealthy families were sent to Qizhou by Zhou Liuyun in exchange for huge profits from the thirty-two wealthy families in order to open up new states and establish achievements. Therefore, they are well-equipped and have all kinds of siege equipment.

The vanguard team was still two hundred feet away from the city wall of Chu Family Fort, and had not yet entered the range of the Chu family defenders' bows and arrows, when they saw dozens of catapults about eight feet high suddenly spring up behind the private army team.

Metal bombs the size of a human head, shaped like goose eggs, with fine patterns carved on the surface, were thrown high up by the catapults, drawing perfect arcs in the air and heavily smashing into the wall of Chujiabao.

The thunders flew over the walls of Chujiabao. Before they fell, large ripples like water waves appeared in front of the thunders. Countless thin gray electric lights flashed rapidly in the ripples. Before the thunders could release the terrifying power hidden inside, the electric lights had already turned the thunders into wisps of green smoke.

Occasionally, two bombs would not hit the Chu Family Fort's defense formation before the huge force thrown by the catapult would trigger the internal mechanism. The bombs would explode more than ten feet away from the city wall, and the flames would sweep across an area of ​​dozens of feet in radius.

The flames rolled up to the wall of Chu Family Castle, causing huge ripples. All the flames were blocked outside by the ripples. The Chu family's private soldiers standing on the wall did not move at all, not even a little bit was affected.

The hearts of the generals commanding the thirty-two wealthy families sank. With such a strong defense, how many casualties would it take to break through the Chu Family Castle if they attacked it with flesh and blood?

But their stewards have been detained. Since the stewards have ordered an attack on Chujiabao, let’s attack!

Many private army commanders of wealthy families had strange thoughts in their minds. The Chu family was very wealthy. If they could capture the Chu Family Castle and let their soldiers plunder it as much as they wanted, wouldn't they be able to make a lot of money?

With some thoughts that could not be told to others, a large group of private soldiers from wealthy families rushed to the city wall of Chu Family Castle.

What was surprising was that this time the defenders of Chujiabao did not draw their bows and shoot arrows. Not only that, there was a 'click' sound of a mechanism, and the long suspension bridge in front of the gate of Chujiabao slowly fell down, the main gate of Chujiabao also slowly opened, and the Wolf Fang Ten Thousand Jin Gate was slowly pulled up.

"This is it!" Chu Tian stood up suddenly: "Is there a problem inside the Chu Family Castle?"

Lord Rat sniffed his nose violently and muttered in a low voice: "No, no, I smell a very familiar smell, a smell that can kill people. We can't go through this door. If we go in, people will die. Many people will die! This smell is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Is it a conspiracy?" Chu Tian glanced at Master Shu and said, "Then, you can't enter this door!"

Chu Tian muttered in a low voice, but the coalition forces composed of the private soldiers of thirty-two wealthy families only hesitated slightly outside the city gate, and then saw several private soldier commanders roaring loudly and waving their military flags vigorously.

Team after team of heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding iron shields were mobilized from the private armies of various wealthy families. Thirty-two wealthy families gathered together more than ten thousand heavy infantrymen, and rushed towards the gate of Chujiabao in a mighty manner.

The wide suspension bridge was large enough to accommodate ten people walking side by side. The heavy-armored infantry rushed forward in neat rows, crossed the moat along the suspension bridge, and strode to the gate of Chujiabao. After a slight hesitation, the heavy infantry at the front were pushed into the city by their companions behind them.

There was no shouting or screaming in the city, no sound of bowstrings, no blazing flames, and no sound of any mechanisms or traps being activated.

After tens of thousands of heavy infantry broke into Chujiabao, the Chujiabao fell into complete silence, and the defenders on the city walls did not move at all.

After a while, a "burp" was heard, as if someone had burped after eating and drinking enough, and large pieces of broken limbs and arms mixed with blood spurted out from the gate of Chujiabao like a fountain. The large amount of blood spurted hundreds of feet away, dyeing the moat red again.

The drawbridge was slowly raised, and the blood-stained city gate and the wolf-fang thousand-jin gate were slowly lowered.

The Chu Family Castle, with bloodstains and broken limbs all over the door, stood there quietly, motionless. An inexplicable hideous aura enveloped the entire castle.

The coalition forces of the thirty-two wealthy families outside the city stood stiffly in place, looking at the silent Chu Family Castle. Suddenly, no one knew who took the lead and dropped their weapons. Large groups of private soldiers turned around and left, crying and shouting as they were defeated again.
