Duncan looked at the defensive formation that was activated completely in front of him and twitched his lips.

Sure enough, any clan with centuries of accumulation couldn't be taken easily. For a clan like the Wang Clan, having middle-tier second-level defensive formation could be said to be not bad.

However, the formation in front of him was a high-tier second-level defensive formation. Formations were also divided into grades. Each level corresponds to an equivalent cultivation level. They are further divided into four grades – low, middle, high, and top.

With each grade, the power of the formation differs at each level. Low-tier formation corresponds to the lower end of the corresponding cultivation level and top-tier means the strength of perfection in the corresponding cultivation level. It was lucky that the Wang Clan didn't have a top-tier defensive formation.

That would have made things tricky.

But, it didn't mean that high-tier defensive formation was easy to deal with. With the high-tier defensive formation and a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Sea level overseeing it, they would be able to fight evenly with early-stage Violet Palace realm cultivators.

If it was before awakening his bloodline, Duncan wouldn't have been able to break this formation at all. Not to mention the commotion it would cause during the attack. It would have meant Duncan's attack on the Wang Clan would have ended in failure.

Who knows, he might have even died here.

On the contrary, things weren't that bad since Duncan had already awakened his bloodline. Ever since the preliminary awakening of his bloodline, Duncan had realized that his strength had undergone a drastic change.

Now that he had the original [Slaughter Demon Sutra], practicing it had only increased Duncan's strength once again. If not for this, Duncan wouldn't have the confidence in dealing with the Wang Clan. 

With a smirk adorning his face, Duncan unsheathed his sword and looked at the compound in front of him. The guards who were guarding the door saw his actions and became enraged.

"Hey, don't you know where this is?" one of the guards yelled angrily. "How dare you act so presumptuously in front of the Wang Clan Compound? Kneel down and repent, or else even your life will not be enough to pay for your crimes!"

Duncan's lips twitched hearing the guard's yelling. As much as he wanted to mock the guards and let them know that it was their lives that would end tonight, Duncan didn't feel like wasting his time talking to these arrogant fools.

Without speaking anything, Duncan used the <Absolute Cut Sword Art> and cut at the formation.

A small sword light emerged from his sword and traveled towards the formation within the blink of an eye. The guard who had been yelling at Duncan angrily was shocked still by Duncan's audacity for a moment seeing Duncan's actions.

The next moment the guard felt the terrible power contained in the sword light and paled. His knees weakened and his breath hitched. The other guard directly fell on his ass with sweat across his forehead. 

Before the guard could think anything more, the sword light from Duncan's sword arrived. The moment the sword light met with the defensive perimeter, a deafening sound was emitted and the entire formation undulated trying to resist the attack.

BANG!

Duncan saw that the formation was still holding still and snorted. He didn't know anything about formations. Things like formations need a lot of accumulation to learn and understand. He had only entered the cultivation world for one year and he didn't understand even the basic principles that governed them.

Thus, he would be only dreaming to find the weak spots or solve the formation to enter the compound without making a fuss. As for mingling in and entering into the compound in a low-key manner, Duncan would only be a fool to do such a thing. 

Once he enters the formation, breaking out of it under the siege of the Wang Clan patriarch would be very difficult. Duncan would lose all initiative and be passive at that stage. Duncan didn't want such a thing to happen.

Thus, the only way he could gain an advantage was to break the formation first and then attack the people inside. Duncan knew he couldn't break the formation with conventional means. He didn't have that much knowledge or skills. The only method he could think of was to break the formation with overwhelming force. 

A high-tier second-level formation like this could only be broken with the strength of the middle stage of the Violet Palace realm. But, with his strength, several consecutive blows would be enough to shatter the formation.

And his calculation was indeed correct. 

The formation was barely holding on under his onslaught. A few more blows like this would be enough to shatter the formation in a short time. This was in the middle of the city. The more time he took to finish his deeds, the more variables would emerge. 

He didn't want to get entangled with the City Lord's mansion. The City Lord was a Violet Palace realm cultivator. He was in the middle stages of the Violet Palace realm. Duncan didn't know his exact cultivation level or whether he broke through recently. He didn't want to take such a gamble.

So, it was best to deal with this as fast as possible.

Just then, a majestic roar came from the inside of the compound. Duncan immediately knew who that voice belonged to. It was the patriarch of the Wang Clan.

"Who is it? How bold of you to attack my Wang Clan!"I think you should take a look at

Duncan smirked but didn't bother to reply. There was no use bandying words with the patriarch of the Wang Clan. He wasn't here to argue. He was here to kill and delaying time by arguing with the patriarch about the cause and effect would only be detrimental to him.

Without hesitation, Duncan sent out another sword light.

BANG!

This time the formation's undulation was even stronger. It was clear that the formation wouldn't be able to hold on for long. The two guards who were at the door were sweating bullets at this moment seeing the formation struggling to defend against Duncan's blows.

"Stop! What is your enmity with our Wang Clan? We can discuss everything peacefully!" the patriarch's roar came from inside and it was clear from his tone that he was panicking as well.

Duncan didn't stop. He must break this formation as soon as possible. Without this, the Wang Clan patriarch wouldn't be his opponent. But, with this, the Wang Clan patriarch would be able to put up a fight. And that would extend the time he spent.

BANG!

Another sword light fell on the formation causing the formation to start to flicker. Seeing this, Duncan's eyes brightened. There was an eager gleam in his eyes as he saw the formation barely holding on. It would take at most one or two more blows.

"Fine! You leave me no choice! Let's fight it out!" the Wang Clan patriarch shouted angrily.

The next moment, the flickering formation stabilized and it was evenly vaguely strengthened. Duncan frowned seeing this. Immediately he understood what happened. 

He had initially thought that someone was already managing the formation since it was already activated. But, it looks like no one was managing it. No wonder the formation almost crumbled within three blows.

The Wang Clan's patriarch had most likely taken charge of the formation. Duncan's eyes narrowed as he figured this out within a few moments. After taking charge of the formation, the Wang Clan's patriarch's strength would be equal to that of the Violet Palace realm. 

What he least wanted to see had indeed happened. But, Duncan wasn't discouraged. Rather, the battle lust in him only increased. Duncan had never exchanged blows with anyone after awakening his bloodline. He wanted to see how much his strength had increased after that. And the patriarch of the Wang Clan looked like the right person to test it out.

Just then, a figure appeared on the top of the compound and looked down at Duncan coldly. It was the patriarch of the Wang Clan. His face was gloomy and there was anger and fear in his eyes.

Duncan looked up at the figure calmly. But, deep within him, the fighting intent was burning brightly. As they exchanged eyes, the Wang Clan patriarch frowned slightly. The figure in front of the door looked a bit familiar to him, but he didn't know who it was clearly.

"Who are you?" the patriarch asked gloomily.

Hearing his question, Duncan felt a bit irritated. It looked as if the patriarch didn't even remember the puny mortal he sentenced to death. This kind of made Duncan a bit unhappy. He didn't reply to the question. He merely stared daggers at the patriarch of the Wang Clan. 

"Who are you? Why are you attacking my Wang Clan?" the patriarch asked again with a little anger.

"You don't remember me. That's fine. But, I remember you and your clan very well. You once almost drove me to my death. I am merely returning the favor," Duncan said softly.

"I don't remember my Wang Clan offending you. Do not try to fool me. You don't even dare to tell me who you are. That's fine as well. Heh, I can see that you are only at the peak of the Spirit Sea realm just like me. I might be wary of you if it was outside. But, with my Wang Clan's defensive formation, I don't think you will live to see the sun tomorrow," the Wang Clan Patriarch sneered seeing Duncan's cultivation level.

"Is that so? Then, let's test that statement!" Duncan smirked and readied himself.

On the compound wall, the patriarch's expression also became dignified. Looking at the vaguely familiar figure, the patriarch knew that this was the calamity that he had been feeling uneasy about. However, the cultivator standing below was only at the peak of the Spirit Sea realm like him. 

If the opponent was at a higher realm, then he would have been afraid. But, at the same level, the patriarch felt that he had a chance. Despite the opponent's cultivation level, the level of danger he sensed from the opponent was higher than usual. So, he didn't take the upcoming fight lightly at all.

He knew that today he must fight with everything he had. If not, he would most probably die…
