Chapter 454: Chapter 314: Annihilate All

"Aargh...!"

Zhe Wanqian finally couldn’t take it anymore and let out a bloodcurdling howl. Illusion Arrays weren’t exactly a secret among the major families or high-tiered Martial Artists. Various civilizations in the Ancient Era had them. Be it Illusion Arrays or Magic Arrays, both had their glorious moments in history, but they had long since been lost to the river of time with the collapse of the Ancient Era.

But even if one had heard of Illusion Arrays, who had ever heard of the illusions inside one being able to manifest as real attacks? The streams of Sword Qi that raked across his body left behind very real wounds! And the blood that flowed out was damn salty, too!

’Is this still an Illusion Array? Is this person still an illusion?’

A python, dozens of meters long, suddenly materialized from the void. It opened its gaping maw, and an icy, chilling aura washed over him, making him shudder uncontrollably!

A massive blue Fireball slowly formed in the python’s mouth. Then, the python’s raised neck snapped back before it violently spat the human-head-sized Fireball at Zhe Wanqian! Burning with an eerie, ethereal blue flame, the Fireball shrieked through the air, arriving in a flash!

"The Blue Fire Python!"

Zhe Wanqian screamed in terror as the blue Fireball rapidly expanded in his pupils!

BOOM!!!

With a deafening explosion, the Fireball detonated right in front of Zhe Wanqian! The blast launched his body into the sky like a frail leaf caught in a gale. Utterly powerless to resist, Zhe Wanqian was sent flying... soaring several kilometers through the air!

The Blue Fire Python, a Tier Eight Magical Beast! It was a Magical Beast with a natural affinity for the fire element, capable of spitting blue Fireballs that could incinerate a person without even leaving behind ashes!

Decades ago, Zhe Wanqian had slain a Blue Fire Python. At the time, the female python had been in the middle of giving birth and was completely powerless to resist, so she died at his hands. He had paid no mind to the cold, venomous glare in its eyes before it died, but he never imagined that an illusion of it would appear within the Ming Sect of the Four Symbols Grand Array!

This showed that deep down, Zhe Wanqian was not as indifferent about killing the Blue Fire Python as he thought he was!

As he flew through the air, Zhe Wanqian coughed up blood and laughed maniacally. "Ling Xiao, you brat! Your granddaddy... is out! Hahahahahaha!" He had willingly taken a heavy blow from the illusory Blue Fire Python, preferring to be severely injured just to escape this damned Illusion Array!

The reason for Zhe Wanqian’s wild laughter was that in the instant he was blasted high into the sky, he saw the star-filled heavens!

Never before had he found the stars in the sky so beautiful. The twinkling stars were like mischievous children blinking their innocent eyes!

At this moment, Zhe Wanqian felt an urge to throw his arms in the air and shout with excitement!

’I’m out!’

Never in his life had he craved freedom as desperately as he did right now!

Ling Xiao stood at the core of the array, watching Zhe Wanqian struggle within the Ming Sect. He sighed internally. ’How weak! To be driven to a mental breakdown so easily. If this array can’t even trap you, how could it be worthy of being called a grand array?’

Suddenly, Ling Xiao’s eyes narrowed. He looked up at the real starry sky as a faint killing intent drifted over from the distance. The intent was unmistakable and aimed directly at him!

’It’s certainly lively tonight!’

Ling Xiao thought to himself, his gaze frigid and a cold sneer on his face. He then looked coldly at the nearly crazed Zhe Wanqian, who was laughing maniacally inside the Ming Sect.

The eight Sword Emperor powerhouses from the Zhe Family were now hovering in the sky above Lingxiao Mansion. Looking down at the utterly still residence, one of them said, "Something feels off. It’s too quiet here! You don’t think the Old Ancestor and the others never came here, do you?"

"Impossible!" another declared resolutely. "Haven’t you sensed how many powerhouses are in this city? Hmph, they’re all here to watch the Zhe Family put on a show! The bodies on the city walls are gone, so they must have been taken away! But the Old Ancestor is elusive; his movements are naturally beyond our grasp. Since he hasn’t destroyed this place, it’s been left to us!"

The others nodded, sinister grins spreading across their faces. One of them said with great nostalgia, "It’s been almost twenty years since we last wiped out an entire family!"

"Yeah, I miss that feeling... The blood, the slaughter... Haha!"

"Then... let’s begin!" one of the Zhe Family Sword Emperor powerhouses laughed as he dove down. At the same time, his sword carved a huge, crescent-shaped arc of Sword Qi that viciously slashed toward the tall building in the very center of Lingxiao Mansion! Four others shot down from the north, south, east, and west, their swords also unleashing powerful Sword Qi that hacked ferociously at the buildings below!

This group of Sword Emperor Realm powerhouses were nothing short of a pack of butchers! Cultivating one’s mind and character was a complete joke to them. Who said the Martial Dao required one to cultivate their mind and character? If everyone was peaceful, where would conflicts of interest come from?

"Kill them all!"

One of them laughed wildly, anticipating the scene of chaos and panic that would follow the wave of Sword Qi!

It was nighttime, and he was hoping to see disheveled women running about in a panic. He would then toy with them from behind like a cat playing with a mouse, admiring the tantalizing sight of their exposed, graceful bodies before slowly plunging his sword into them. ’Experiencing the process of someone else’s death is quite helpful for my own cultivation, too!’

The three Sword Emperors who remained in the air on guard looked relaxed and were all smiles. Even if the Old Ancestor wasn’t here, with the eight of them, forget this tiny Lingxiao Mansion—so what if they slaughtered the entire Penzes City?
