"Stop speaking, the matter at hand is urgent!"
The eyes of the Daoist Tianxing suddenly opened, a sharp blade aura flickering within, piercing through the air.
The four people, including Qingyang Zi, nodded slightly and directed their gaze towards the distant horizon, where a dark silhouette was darting rapidly. In a few moments, it arrived before the five sects.
When the figure stood still, Chu Ming and the others took in its appearance. The person’s face was dark, eyes were black and white, skin was transparent, gender indistinguishable, with hair draped over shoulders, covering most of the face.
"Master, within ten thousand miles, all the minions of the Blood Hand Association have been eradicated!"
The dark-clad figure stood respectfully beside Daoist Tianxing, eyes filled with fervor.
Daoist Tianxing looked satisfied, nodding slightly. Observing the respectful figure, the other four ancestral elders were envious.
Chu Ming suddenly understood. No wonder the five sects’ army dared to descend here fearlessly, without concealing their aura. It turns out the five sects had already arranged to clear out all the spies of the Blood Hand Association within ten thousand miles.
However, looking at the dark-clad figure, Chu Ming’s expression changed. With his strong soul power, he could sense that the figure’s strength was no weaker than Qingyang Zi and others, and there was a subtle connection with Daoist Tianxing.
"We shall descend directly into the Black Mountain Range and take the Blood Hand Association by surprise!"
Daoist Tianxing’s lips moved slightly, his voice flowing among the five, unnoticed by the nearby experts from each sect.
While the Cyan Yang Sect was waiting, Qingyang Zi shouted loudly, forming a spell with his hand. Yellow light swirled around his hand, and the Cyan Yang Battleship trembled and soared into the sky, startling the birds that scattered in fright.
The Cyan Yang Battleship transformed into a stream of light, disappearing instantly, heading towards the center of the Black Mountain Range. The floating clouds in the sky were blown apart, and the strong wind on both sides brushed across everyone’s cheeks.
"In a while, all you need to do is block the fleeing remnants of the Blood Hand Association at the opening of the Black Mountain Range!"
On the Cyan Yang Battleship.
Qingyang Zi gave a light instruction to several core disciples. With the five great ancestors attacking together, they could effectively uproot the Blood Hand Association’s secrets.
Chu Ming and the other core disciples responded respectfully, excitement barely contained on their faces. They had never witnessed the techniques of a Guiyuan Realm expert before, and today, they would have their eyes opened.
The Cyan Yang Battleship crushed its way forward, the sound of air bursting repeatedly echoing. After about the time it takes to burn one incense, a black silhouette appeared in front of Chu Ming and the others. Through the blur, the outlines were vaguely visible.
"That’s the Black Mountain Range!"
To the left of the Cyan Yang Battleship was the battleship from the Burning Fire Valley, equally releasing its entire aura, as if competing with the Cyan Yang Battleship.
To the right was the massive, majestic tripod of the Martial Extreme Sect, adorned with Sanskrit script, exuding even more richness.
All five sects stopped simultaneously. The overwhelming aura spread to one direction, and a basin several thousand meters in diameter appeared before Chu Ming and others, covered with weeds. Who would have thought that such a huge basin was hidden deep within the Black Mountain Range?
"Descend, but be very careful!"
The Cyan Yang Sect’s battleship settled in the east of the basin. Chu Ming and the other core disciples were positioned there, and Qingyang Zi gave them a final reminder, feeling a bit uneasy.
Chu Ming and the others responded respectfully, spreading out into the dense forest, hiding in the dark to wait for the remnants of the Blood Hand Association to make their escape and deliver a fatal blow.
"We will attack the basin together!"
Daoist Tianxing gazed at the basin below, his eyes flashing coldly, like a raging saber.
The other four ancestors responded simultaneously, flying into the air from their respective transportation tools, eyes gleaming as they stared at the basin below.
At some point, the blue long saber behind Daoist Tianxing had appeared in his hand. He slashed downward with full force, a terrifying blade aura burst from the blade, illuminating the sky itself, as if the entire sky was about to be shattered.
The blade aura was incredibly terrifying, spanning a hundred meters. With one slash, the spiritual power within a hundred meters vanished instantly, and the sound wave spread rapidly in all directions.
"Celestial Rain Sword!"
The five ancestral elders attacked simultaneously, their combined might only describable in four words: world-shaking. Even from a thousand meters away, one could see the five phenomena in the sky, blazing brightly.
Under the blade, the entire basin began to crack from the middle, extending for thousands of meters. In the middle of the crack, a dark palace also split open, with countless Demon Dao Martial Artists inside, frantically rushing out.
"Run! It’s the Righteous Martial Artists!"
"Damn it, how did they find this place!"
"Quick, find Elder Blood Corpse, only he can handle this situation!"
The Demon Dao Martial Artists were in panic. Just as they were fleeing, the attacks of the other four ancestors simultaneously fell, shaking the world.
Daoist Burning Fire unleashed the Fire Slaying Palm, an Earth Level Low Tier Martial Technique. The palm force grew in the wind, almost capable of crushing a mountain. With one palm, the five fingers bent, obliterating fifty percent of the Demon Dao Martial Artists, turning them into ashes.
Regardless of whether they were True Dao Martial Artists or Transcendence Realm Martial Artists, without reaching the Guiyuan Realm, they stood no chance against a single strike from a Guiyuan Realm expert.
Just as the other three attacks were about to descend, the Demon Dao Martial Artists in the palace revealed looks of despair. At that moment, a cold snort resounded from all directions.
Simultaneously, from the palace, a hundred-foot bloody hand suddenly emerged. The blood-red patterns on the hand were exceptionally vivid, seemingly pulsing. Its might somewhat surpassed even the attacks of the ancestral elders.
The three attacks collided with the giant bloody hand, causing a shocking explosion. Even Chu Ming and the others a thousand meters away could clearly feel the astonishing momentum.
The lingering waves of spiritual power gradually subsided, the three attacks and the giant bloody hand were all neutralized, turning into residual spiritual power and merging into the surroundings.
"Not good, it’s a Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer expert!"
Qingyang Zi and the other three looked grim and shocked. There was a tinge of regret in their hearts. They had not anticipated that this secret base of the Blood Hand Association concealed a Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer expert.
Earlier, they had scouted and confirmed that there was supposed to be only one Guiyuan Realm Third Layer expert. They had not expected it to turn into a Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer, and things were getting tricky.
The four ancestral elders turned their gaze to Daoist Tianxing standing at the center. Among the five, only Daoist Tianxing was a Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer expert, the other four were Guiyuan Realm Third Layer, far from being a match for the current Demon Dao expert.
Surrounding blood mist spread, wriggling, then a figure slowly emerged from the mist, revealing a human face. The person’s face was pale, slightly gaunt, with a red mark between his brows, eyes filled with evil. As his lips curled into a grin, sharp white teeth were exposed.
"Blood Corpse Daoist!"
