Chapter 457: Chapter 314: Annihilate All

It was obvious that the old man’s tier was far higher than the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor, yet the Sword Emperor could still unleash such a mighty attack. That was no small feat!

But Quefeng was utterly unfazed. With a soft grunt, an incredibly solid, egg-shaped shield materialized around him. The Sword Qi from the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor was completely deflected the moment it neared his body!

Before the man could even show his shock, Quefeng, his withered hand now gripping a sword that glinted with a cold light, lunged right at him!

Shangguan Yutong, along with Thirteenth Master and Fourteenth Master, surrounded another Zhe Family expert at the Sword Emperor Realm.

Before Shangguan Yutong could even make a move, Thirteenth Master and Fourteenth Master—their minds as one, their coordination exquisite—struck down the Zhe Family’s Tier Two Sword Emperor in a single exchange, sending him crashing to the ground!

But the Tier Two expert from the Zhe Family wasn’t seriously injured. The moment he hit the ground, he used the momentum to try and make a run for it!

All the onlookers from the various families and sects—even Qin Feng, who had been grittily cheering them on—couldn’t help but spit in disgust. "Fuck, abandoning his own family to save his own skin! What a spineless bastard!" But under these circumstances, not running... was just asking for death!

The Zhe Family’s Tier Two Sword Emperor saw the situation clearly. All ten powerhouses the Zhe Family had sent out today were likely going to die here. If that happened, the blow to their vitality would be an understatement. They would be utterly stripped of their status as a first-rate family!

Even though they still had a Sword Venerable, what did it matter? A family that had the bulk of its power annihilated by a clan from the Mortal World... who would respect them after this?

’So, rather than wait around to die, it’s better to get the hell out of here, find somewhere deserted, and just focus on cultivating.’

He may have wanted to run, but that didn’t mean Thirteenth Master and Fourteenth Master were going to let him.

The two old men exchanged a look, then turned to Shangguan Yutong. "Shangguan Girl, go help that little lass Su Xue! We’re going to kill that coward!" With that, the two elders dove, chasing after the fleeing Tier Two Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family!

Ling Xiao, positioned at the eye of the Four Symbols Grand Array, coolly observed the scene unfolding outside. He suddenly contacted the clown with his Spiritual Power, giving it a signal. The clown instantly let out a piercing cry that echoed through the sky.

Countless people were drawn to look up at the high night sky. Even those with the sharpest vision could only make out a single white dot, soaring against the vast, star-dusted black canopy!

Following the clown’s cry, everyone watched, dumbfounded, as countless spots throughout Penzes New City suddenly erupted in blindingly brilliant light! The multi-hued, resplendent beams shot a thousand meters straight into the night sky!

Then, a dome of blue light, like an enormous canopy, descended over Penzes New City, completely enveloping the entire metropolis!

The colossal, city-wide formation—the Ice Blue Water Light Array—had finally been activated!

The Tier Two Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family shot skyward, trying to fly away, only to slam headfirst into the ethereal blue web of light. He let out a bloodcurdling scream and plummeted from the sky once more. His speed had been too great! Having crashed into the blue light web completely unprepared, he was now a bloody mess!

Thirteenth Master and Fourteenth Master both sneered. Thirteenth Master muttered a curse, "Fucking moron!"

Fourteenth Master nodded. "Indeed," he said with great seriousness.

One on the left and one on the right, the two men dove from the sky like eagles, their forms captivating to behold. But the killing intent radiating from their swords was frigid and merciless. While they were still dozens of meters from the ground, the buildings below began to crumble and disintegrate from the pressure!

And those very buildings happened to be on the territory of the Ice Sea Secret Race...

Fortunately, they had been warned in advance. Not a single member of the Ice Sea Secret Race was on the surface. Those with the strength of the Sword Sect had gathered in the slums to protect the others, while the rest—the weak, the old, the women, and children—had all taken refuge deep underground.

The two old men felt not a shred of guilt for using this chance to settle a private score. The Tier Two Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family had no hope of escaping the coordinated attack of two Sword Emperors of the same tier, their minds perfectly in sync.

He let out a furious roar, about to self-destruct, only to discover he couldn’t concentrate the boundless Inner Strength in his Dantian for the explosion!

Like a young rooster with its neck being wrung, he was unable to even let out a pathetic cry before the Sword Qi from Thirteenth and Fourteenth Master blasted him into dust!

Utterly pulverized.

Thirteenth Master glanced at Fourteenth Master, saying with some frustration, "We killed him too fast!"

Fourteenth Master nodded, equally vexed. "Let’s go back and kill some more, then!"

Gongsun Huang squinted, his eyes fixed on the gorgeous web of light in the sky. It was a breathtakingly beautiful sight against the night. A young maiden would surely be enchanted by such a scene.

’This trip was worth it! The kid really delivered a massive surprise!’ Even for someone like Gongsun Huang, a Tier Six Sword Venerable with an incredibly firm and stable state of mind, a thought couldn’t help but surface.

Gongsun Sword, who stood beside him, was already completely stunned. It was only after the Tier Two Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family was torn to shreds by the two other Sword Emperors that he finally stammered, "He... he couldn’t even self-destruct?"

Gongsun Huang shook his head with a wry smile. "As long as this blue light barrier is up, even I can’t get out."

GASP!

This time, it wasn’t just Gongsun Sword; even the middle-aged men standing beside Gongsun Huang wore expressions of utter disbelief. Despite their youthful appearances, they were all one or two hundred years old! Every single one of them had achieved the realm of Middle-Tier Sword Emperor or higher.

When they had seen the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor Powerhouse smash himself into a bloody mess, they had been secretly alarmed, wondering if they would have been able to escape in his place. It’s not that they weren’t blindly confident in their own abilities; it’s that they hadn’t truly felt the power of this Ice Blue Water Light Array. To them, the ethereal, impossibly beautiful blue barrier hadn’t seemed all that dangerous.
