Such a thing was unprecedented for both Han Tianyu and the mustached man. It was a complete humiliation for them.
“Regret? Hehe, I, Huo Wufang, never regret anything. If you think I’ll be receiving any punishment for this, you’re wrong. You’re a traitor to the Righteous path, one with reprehensible crimes. Everyone here can testify that you are a demon who willfully slaughters the innocent,” said Huo Wufang calmly.
“Correct. I can take the place of the Heaven Splitting Divine Sect to testify that Long Chen is a wretched traitor,” said the mustached man.
Originally, he had been planning on snatching Long Chen’s scale and his spatial ring. He really hadn’t expected to be beaten so miserably. That was extremely humiliating for him, and he had to make sure that Long Chen didn’t make it out alive today.
“I will also testify that Long Chen is the degenerate of the Xuantian Supermonastery, a villain of the entire Righteous path!” Han Tianyu was slightly pale, but his eyes were still filled with venom.
“I will testify that even my Corrupt path has never before seen such an evil person. Such a person should be punished with the worst kind of torture before death,” sneered Yin Luo.
Long Chen’s strength had far surpassed his expectations. If the situation hadn’t developed to this point, there would have been no chance of killing him.
Now, he could kill Long Chen, remove a potential disaster, get revenge, and obtain an immense favor from Huo Wufang.
He trusted that by doing this, not only would he not receive any punishment from the Corrupt path once he returned, but he might even be rewarded. As for the other Righteous disciples, he didn’t care the slightest bit about them. Killing Long Chen was the most urgent thing. He absolutely could not be allowed to live and mature.
Han Tianyu might be strong, but Yin Luo was confident he wouldn’t lose against him. However, Long Chen was different. He was only at Tendon Transformation, but he was able to dominate the Bone Forging realm. If they let him grow up, he would definitely be heaven-defying. That was something the Corrupt path refused to allow.
“Do you see? Even the Corrupt path feels that you are a despicable fiend. Long Chen, what do you think would happen if I killed a person as immoral as you? Do you think people would say anything? Hahaha, even if people know you were wrongly accused, so what? You’ll already be dead. No one would offend my Pill Tower for a dead person.
“So no matter how mad you are about it, you’ll still be dead. As for me, even after having you killed, I’ll be happily cultivating.
“That’s what power means. You can complain that I was just born lucky, but reincarnating is also a skill. Not everyone has that kind of luck, so luck is also a kind of power.
“For a beast flame, you offended me, Huo Wufang, and have fallen to this point. Are you satisfied now?
“Now not only will you die, but everyone by your side will also die with you. But don’t worry, I won’t let you die first. I’ll let you see your friends die in front of you one by one. That can be my grace to you.” Huo Wufang laughed heartily, his laugh was filled with delight in getting revenge.
By this time, the Corrupt experts had already arrived at Guo Ran and the others. Due to the immense numbers, even the ground was rumbling intensely.
“Grand Flowers Bloom.”
Suddenly, flower petals began to flutter in the air, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of Guo Ran.
Those countless and diverse flower petals filled a one-mile radius, and those charging Corrupt experts were instantly enveloped.
“AHHH!”
Miserable screams rang out as those petals cut apart their bodies. In an instant, hundreds of Corrupt experts had been killed. The entire crowd became silent.
“Hua Biluo, you are courting death!” raged Huo Wufang.
At this time, it was Hua Biluo who had attacked, and there were seven experts by her side who also joined the battle, fighting shoulder to shoulder with Guo Ran and the others.
“Huo Wufang, look closely. The ones I killed were from the Corrupt path and has nothing to do with your Pill Tower. I don’t believe you’ll dare punish my Hua family just because of this matter. Hmph, if you did, you’d become an enemy of the entire Righteous path.” Hua Biluo smiled icily.
“You…!” Huo Wufang was completely enraged, but he was unable to say anything.
The Pill Tower was a neutral party, never sticking their hands into the Righteous and Corrupt battles. This was a completely different matter from him calling people to kill Long Chen.
When Long Chen had arrived here, he had clearly kept his group separate from the Righteous path, establishing himself as a third party. Killing him could be said to have nothing to do with the Righteous and Corrupt battle.
Even when he called Corrupt disciples to kill Long Chen and his friends, he could still argue that Long Chen was not a part of the Righteous path.
But this was different. Hua Biluo was only killing Corrupt experts. In other words, she was standing on the side of the Righteous path. If Huo Wufang really did get revenge on Hua Biluo for this matter, he really would offend countless people.
Huo Wufang clenched his teeth furiously, killing intent surging out of him. However, he was unable to do anything.
“It’s just a single expert. It won’t change anything. Why must you get angry brother Huo?” smiled Yin Luo. After comforting Huo Wufang, he turned to Long Chen. “Long Chen, you currently have less than twenty percent of your spiritual qi, and your strength should have declined to around fifty percent. Right now, you are an arrow at the end of its flight. Against the four of us, you have no chance. I’m very curious, just what are you thinking right now?”
“It really is a case of if you fear something, it will happen. Was this all the will of the heavens?” Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh, resting his saber on his shoulder.
He had already done his best, but luck made fools of men. No matter how he had tried, the situation had constantly progressed to the worst-case scenario. There had been no way to stop it.
This current situation was the one Long Chen had been worried about the most. And thus his words: if you fear something, it will come.
“It really is the will of the heavens. Today, it is fated that your bones will be buried within the Jiuli secret realm. Ah, sorry, I misspoke. You won’t have any bones to bury because I will make sure you die without a corpse.” Yin Luo icily stared at Long Chen like a cheetah staring at its prey.
His combat strength was only half of his peak state, and his spiritual qi was almost exhausted, meaning he couldn’t use any more ultimate moves. In other words, Long Chen was like a toothless tiger. There was no longer any threat.
Long Chen smiled slightly, a touch of ridicule appearing on his face. “Saying that right now is still a bit too early.”
Suddenly, he loudly roared, “Everyone, there’s no need to hold back anymore. You have free rein to kill! Everyone in front of you is an enemy, so kill them all!”
“What?!”
Huo Wufang and the others’ expressions changed, and they hastily turned back, only to see four huge, violet birds appear in the sky.
Chapter 455 Smash You to Death With a Single Club
“What?!”
Four huge violet birds appeared in the air, each of them almost three hundred meters long. Those were the Violet Phoenix Sparrows that had reached the peak of the fourth rank. As soon as they appeared, they opened their mouths and spat out a scorching flame that instantly covered an area of hundreds of meters.
“AHH!”
Miserable screams rang out as hundreds of Corrupt experts were burned to ash. Even Chosen were unable to bear it.
“Soul Deathdream.”
Atop one of the Violet Phoenix Sparrows, Meng Qi solemnly formed hand seals, and a ripple of Spiritual Strength surged out.
Within miles of her, countless experts stiffened and then slowly closed their eyes. They seemed to be sleeping as they lay on the ground, but all their li
fe force had already disappeared.
Meng Qi was slightly pale. One reason was because of the immense exhaustion to her soul energy, while the other reason was because of all this killing.
Thousands of people had died to her just now. To kill that many people in one go, Meng Qi felt extremely unwell. These were not Magical Beasts but humans just like her.
“Sister, don’t feel bad. These are all bad people. If we didn’t kill them, they would kill us,” Lu Fang-er shouted from another Violet Phoenix Sparrow.
Lu Fang-er did not possess Meng Qi’s vast soul energy, and so she could only shoot out spiritual arrows at the people below. Although her radius was smaller, her power was also shocking. Anyone who didn’t have a protective soul item would instantly be killed.
However, those who died to their spiritual attacks were actually lucky compared to the others. At least they managed to die with a complete corpse, looking as if they were just asleep.
Of course, those people down there didn’t think so. For the people by their side to just silently die like that was the most terrifying thing.
Some of the Righteous disciples were no longer able to suppress that fear, and they began to withdraw. But as for the Corrupt disciples, they were still charging forward.
“Move aside! I’ll handle these brutes.”
Suddenly, a man charged out from the Corrupt side. His qi and blood surged, and there was an illusory sea of blood behind him. A terrifying murderous aura caused others to shiver.
“Be careful, it’s Xue Wuya!” Zheng Wenlong warned everyone. However, at this time, he was surrounded by over ten experts of the Righteous and Corrupt paths. Those experts were all on the level of peak experts, and Zheng Wenlong already had two bleeding cuts on him.
In order to send this warning, he ended up distracted, and one of the Corrupt experts landed a steel hook on his shoulder, opening a huge cut. Blood instantly dyed half his robes scarlet.
“Senior apprentice-brother Zheng!” Bai Ling cried out from a distance.
“I’m fine! Keep fighting.” Zheng Wenlong didn’t dare be careless again. After shouting, he focused completely on fighting.
There were simply too many enemies. Zheng Wenlong was completely suppressed. There was no way he could help anyone else right now. Everyone would have to rely on themselves.
Mo Nian was the same. He was completely surrounded by the peak experts of the Righteous and Corrupt paths.
He wasn’t too suited to close-range combat, and so being surrounded like this, he wasn’t even able to bring out his full abilities, infuriating him so much that he repeatedly cursed as he fought.
Xue Wuya’s arrival caused all the Righteous experts to tremble in fear. He was publicly acknowledged as the number one expert of the Corrupt path besides Yin Luo. They all made way for him.
“You are Xue Wuya?”
Suddenly, a large figure appeared in front of Xue Wuya, blocking his path. That person was like a giant, his expression making him appear simple and naive.
“I am. You-” Xue Wuya had only just begun when Wilde’s huge spiked club cut him off.
Xue Wuya hadn’t expected this seemingly simple giant to dare fight him just like this. By the time he reacted, the huge club was already about to reach his head.
There was no pressure and no aura. It was an ordinary smash of the club. However, the air around it seemed to almost explode.
Xue Wuya hastily raised his spear to block it.
BOOM!
Xue Wuya was blown back, and those Corrupt disciples behind him that he collided with all had their bodies explode.
He continued flying back for almost three hundred meters. A dozen Corrupt experts died from being struck by him, and one of them had even been a Chosen.
After stabilizing, he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. Wilde’s attack had come too suddenly, and he hadn’t had any defenses up. That attack had almost caused his internal organs to collapse.
Most terrifying of all, when Wilde attacked, there weren’t any indications of him preparing his spiritual qi. He struck without any warning, making it so people were unable to defend properly. This one attack had caused Xue Wuya to suffer greatly.
“Good job Wilde! Hurry and smash that bastard!” Guo Ran was constantly paying attention to the entire battlefield while fighting. That was the mission Long Chen had given him.
In terms of combat strength, he might not count as the strongest. But when it came to destructive power, he wouldn’t be lacking compared to any of the others. However, his greatest strong point was his defense.
His entire body was covered in armor, and when other people’s weapons landed on him, it was pretty much just an itch for him.
The only ones that could threaten him were those with heavy weapons. As long as he wasn’t smashed by one of those heavy weapons, he was practically invincible.
That was why Long Chen had given him the task of directing everyone. Only he was capable of keeping watch over the entire battlefield as he fought.
As soon as Xue Wuya had appeared, Guo Ran had told Wilde to go attack him. In the beginning, Guo Ran had been a bit worried about Wilde’s safety, but Long Chen had told him a certain thing that made him feel better.
Long Chen had said that Wilde’s true combat strength was not the slightest bit lacking compared to his own. In fact, perhaps it surpassed his. So, Long Chen had always kept Wilde as a secret weapon.
As expected, as soon as Wilde appeared on the battlefield, he shocked everyone. It had to be known that Xue Wuya was someone on the same level as Yin Luo. Even if he wasn’t exactly as strong as he was, he wouldn’t be much weaker.
But shockingly, a single attack from Wilde had made him vomit blood. Long Chen’s group had actually hidden such a terrifying existence.
Xue Wuya was shocked and infuriated. With a roar, he pushed himself to his peak state, and he charged at Wilde. His spear was like a poisonous snake stabbing toward Wilde’s throat. His spear’s speed was shockingly fast, and it came from an extremely tricky angle.
However, Wilde didn’t even look at his attack. The main thing was that he couldn’t possibly grasp how to block this attack. Long Chen had already taught him not to go block other people’s attacks, as he wouldn’t be able to.
What Long Chen had told him to do was to not be half-assed. Either don’t attack, or attack to kill your opponent with a single smash of your club. Once they were beaten to death, then your enemy’s attack would be perfectly stopped.
There was no other way for Wilde. Long Chen had taught him many moves, but he was unable to remember any of them. As for trying to get Wilde to be able to see through the intricacies behind an enemy’s attack, that level of difficulty would practically be heaven-defying for Wilde.
So the only thing Long Chen could do was tell Wilde to attack without defending. Each time he attacked, he was to aim to kill his opponent. Since he couldn’t understand any techniques, the best option was for him to wildly smash his club.
Even when Wilde had ended up taking Cang Ming as a master, Cang Ming had also had to prostrate himself in admiration towards Wilde’s ‘incredible memory’. From then on, he simply allowed Wilde to fight as he pleased.
So in the face of Xue Wuya’s spear, Wilde didn’t dodge, nor did he try to block. He simply ruthlessly smashed his club at him.
Wilde’s club was five meters long. That attack range was too large, and Xue Wuya couldn’t dodge it. The only thing he could do was give up his attack and switch to defense.
BOOM!
Xue Wuya was once more blown back. Due to switching techniques in the end, he had only managed to bring out eighty percent of his strength. Another line of unlucky fellows died as he flew back.
Not everyone’s physical bodies could match up to Xue Wuya. Even two Chosen were smashed to death. The Corrupt experts learned from experience and retreated further.
After sending Xue Wuya flying, Wilde now roared and charged straight at him.
BOOM!
BOOM!
With each smash of his club, the entire battlefield would shake. Wilde was practically a barbaric dragon in human form. This was his first time fighting with his full strength in a long time, and he loudly roared, feeling incredibly delighted.
Wilde might be delighted, but Xue Wuya was the opposite. Wilde was too strong, and now even his hand was bleeding.
“Blood Devil Possession!”
Xue Wuya roared, and a human figure made of blood mist formed behind him. The blood mist then merged together with his body, causing his aura to explosively grow.
“Die!” Once more raising his spear to block Wilde’s club, the tip of his spear began to glow with a green light. It appeared incredibly sharp as it pierced toward Wilde’s abdomen.
However, Wilde didn’t even look at Xue Wuya’s attack. After his club was blown back, he twisted around and swung it back at Xue Wuya horizontally.
BANG! Xue Wuya blocked the club with his spear, and his body was once more blown back.
He once more vomited a mouthful of blood. But this time it wasn’t from an injury, but from being infuriated.
No matter what exquisite technique he tried, Wilde would just smash his club at him. Xue Wuya was now fuming.
“Do you even know how to fight?!?!” Xue Wuya furiously cursed. In all his life, he had never felt so stifled when fighting.
His reply was a huge spiked club. Xue Wuya was helpless and could only defend against Wilde in a battle of brute strength.
Seeing that Xue Wuya had been suppressed, the Corrupt experts were all shocked. Two peak experts even came to help.
Now that more people came, Wilde did change techniques. Now, he was spinning around in a circle, swinging his club continuously, repeatedly rolling around all over the battlefield. And yet, Xue Wuya and the others did not have a technique to counter this. They were temporarily unable to do anything to him.
Wilde was now fighting against three peak experts, but the Corrupt path still had one more. He was about to charge in when a large wind blade descended from the sky, blocking his advance.
