The bombardment from the fifteen blood demon powerhouses cracked the Sect Protecting Grand Formation of the Spring Autumn Sect. It was on the verge of collapse.
The crowd’s hearts sank slightly.
Feng Baiyu sighed and said with a low voice, “Everyone, prepare yourselves for the worst!”
Sorrow filled his eyes; he never expected to see the Spring Autumn Sect meet its end on his watch.
With a rumble, the Sect Protecting Grand Formation shattered.
The surrounding nine towering peaks, which had pierced the sky, collapsed the moment the formation was breached.
“Kill!” ordered a third-level Divine Nascent realm blood demon commander.
The blood demon army, long prepared, charged toward the Spring Autumn Sect’s defenders, overwhelming them with a murderous aura that shook the heavens.
“Kill!” Feng Baiyu’s eyes also shone with ferocity, his shout resounding through heaven and earth. His aura instantly boiled over, and he executed the Noble Bloodshed Technique. His cultivation aura soared to the third-level Divine Nascent realm.
Feng Baiyu had advanced to the second-level Divine Nascent realm a year ago, making him the strongest on the Spring Autumn Sect’s side.
However, facing a third-level Divine Nascent realm expert from the blood demon army, he had no choice but to employ the Noble Bloodshed Technique to fight the demon.
Feng Baiyu rushed toward that third-level Divine Nascent realm blood demon commander.
“Hahahaha, Feng Baiyu, let’s see how long your Noble Bloodshed Technique lasts!!” The blood demon commander laughed out loud, his momentum unstoppable. Crashing noises rang out behind him. A sea of blood appeared, surging toward Feng Baiyu like a tsunami.
“Everyone, kill!” Cold light also shone in High Elder Yun Tu’s eyes. He slapped his palm on his chest, similarly executing the Noble Bloodshed Technique. His cultivation swelled to the second-level Divine Nascent realm.
All the Divine Nascent realm powerhouses on the Spring Autumn Sect’s sides used the Noble Bloodshed Technique nearly simultaneously to get greater power for a short period. Outnumbered and outmatched by the blood demon army, they had no chance without this technique.
Currently, they could only focus on one thought: Kill!
“My fellow sect members, today our sect faces a life-and-death crisis. Cast aside all doubts and... kill!” shouted a holy disciple of the Spring Autumn Sect. Murderous qi rose to the sky as he charged directly into the advancing blood demon army.
“Kill! Live and die with the sect!”
“Kill, kill all these demonic beings!”
Swish, swish, swish...
Immediately, on the Spring Autumn Sect’s side, from the elders and executives to the outer sect disciples, everyone let out cries that seemed to originate from their souls. Their auras soared, filling the sky with fierce determination.
The troops on both sides collided. It seemed like two massive waves had crashed into each other—no, it was like two stars smashing into each other. Fierce qi currents swept out at once, destroying mountains and shaking the lands.
“Activate the war fortresses!” [1]
The holy disciples’ war fortresses in the Spring Autumn Sect were activated. They crushed through the void, the towering peaks charged forth like moving tanks, crushing a large swathe of blood demons to death.
However, a high-level Core Formation realm blood demon expert immediately took action. He unleashed a palm that darkened the sky, as if overturning the heavens. The attack struck a war fortress, shattering it to pieces and inflicting heavy casualties.
However, the Spring Autumn Sect members had cast aside all concerns, consumed by the frenzy of battle.
They charged into the fray, ruthlessly blasting the blood demon army without hesitation, engaging in chaotic fights on the ground, in the air, and even high above the nine heavens.
“Ahhh...” Miserable screams rang out.
With each passing moment, more people died. Broken limbs littered the battlefield. Fresh blood rained down, a grim mix from both the blood demons and the Spring Autumn Sect.
“Hahahaha, kill!” A figure darted through the blood demon army, sword qi rampaging across with unparalleled sharpness.
This person turned out to be Qin Jian, the young patriarch of the former number-one clan in the imperial city.
On Qin Jian and Nangong Qingshuang’s wedding day, Chen Fan and Chen Zhengqing had come to settle old debts, plunging the Qin Clan from glory to ruin. In the aftermath, Qin Jian and his family sought refuge in the royal palace.
The royal clan of the Great Chu Empire had long since fallen, reduced to lackeys of the blood demon army. Qin Jian had also embraced the dark path, becoming one of them.
Back then, Qin Jian was only in the fourth or fifth-level Yuanfu realm; now, he was a terrifying seventh-level Core Formation realm expert. His rise was nothing short of unimaginable.
Qin Jian split a Spring Autumn Sect holy disciple in half with a stroke of his sword, his murderous qi reaching the sky as he shouted furiously, “Die! Everyone related to Chen Fan has to die! Chen Zhengqing, Nangong Yue, where are they? Come out and receive your death!”
Qin Jian hated Chen Fan to the bones. If not for him, his life would not have become so miserable.
At the pinnacle of his pride and glory, Chen Fan had crushed Qin Jian, sending him spiraling into the depths of despair, transforming him into a mere joke.
But it wasn’t just Chen Fan; he loathed everyone connected to him.
The burning desire to kill all who bore Chen Fan’s name consumed him. Yet, how could the weak him defeat the mighty Chen Fan? So, he joined the dark side.
He became a blood demon. By relying on killing people and sucking their blood, he reached his current level in just a few years.
Today, he would level the Spring Autumn Sect with the blood demon army and kill Chen Fan’s parents to vent the hatred in his heart.
“Hahahaha, kill, kill, kill!”
No one could stop Qin Jian’s reckless killing spree. Many Spring Autumn Sect disciples died tragically under his sword. He was extremely crazed, like an evil spirit.
On the other side, Chen Zhengqing, Nangong Yue, Nangong Baxiong, and the others were also doing their best to kill their enemies.
Wei Buyu had brought them to the Spring Autumn Sect when the blood calamity erupted.
Now, as the sect faced annihilation, they had no choice but to join the battlefield and confront the encroaching darkness.
When the nest is overturned, would the eggs be safe?
High in the sky, above the nine heavens, many Divine Nascent realm powerhouses were clashing fiercely. Terrifying shockwaves swept out wildly, causing heaven and earth to change colors as they swept across the sky and down to the ground.
Below, the blood demon army and the people on the Spring Autumn Sect’s side were also fighting fiercely. All sorts of attacks were blasting in the air. Sounds of explosions rang out non-stop like firecrackers.
The lands were long since devastated.
The Spring Autumn Sect was also badly damaged.
Corpses piled up like a mountain. Fresh blood fell like torrential rain.
No one retreated because there was no longer any path of retreat.
The only choice was to kill. Carve a way out by killing!
1. Reminder, the holy disciples’ personal cultivation peaks can be used as a war fortress. ☜
