Chapter 458 - 314: Annihilate All

Chapter 458: Chapter 314: Annihilate All

But they never expected that Gongsun Huang, a Tier Six Sword Venerable, would actually say such a thing!

The facial muscles of the crowd twitched violently. When they looked at the Lingxiao Mansion again, their gazes had unknowingly filled with awe.

Strength reigns supreme!

What is true strength?

This is true strength!

A team composed of one Tier Two Sword Venerable and nine Sword Emperors... Across the entire continent, any family or sect would have to think twice before confronting them! Even a clan capable of taking down so many powerhouses would have to wonder if it was worth the cost!

But who would have thought that here, in the Mortal World, a young man whom nobody had paid much attention to could create such a miracle!

The fate of the three Zhe Family Sword Emperor Powerhouses left outside was already sealed, irreversible!

No one could save them!

The members of the Qin Family were now utterly terrified!

If the members of the Yu Family knew, they would undoubtedly be praising their own foresight for leaving before the Ice Blue Water Light Array had been activated.

They had been decisive, letting go of their past grudges, no matter how great, and fleeing to a safe distance. It had to be said that the Yu Family’s Tier Three Sword Emperor was a cut above the rest in terms of judgment!

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ling Xiao’s mansion. They were all waiting—waiting to see the final outcome!

Would the Zhe Family make a comeback? Or would Ling Xiao, this dark horse, soar to the heavens in a single leap?

...

’I’m out! I finally made it out alive!’ Zhe Wanqian was ecstatic.

He wiped the blood from his face, a vicious and cruel light glinting in his eyes. ’Ling Xiao, now it’s time for my revenge!’ Suddenly, he saw someone fly in before him. He was overjoyed. ’Isn’t that the little bastard Ling Xiao?! It was him who just caused me, the ancestor of the Zhe Family, to lose so much face and even get injured!’

"Ling Xiao, I, your ancestor, will capture you and torture you to death! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Zhe Wanqian let out a crazed laugh and lunged toward Ling Xiao!

The moment the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor Realm powerhouse entered the array, his vision flashed. He saw his own ancestor standing there, but in the next instant, the scene changed dramatically! All around him were crumbling walls and ruins, with smoke and dust filling the air and fires raging everywhere. For a moment, he had the illusion that he had returned to the scene of the Su Family’s annihilation years ago!

And the person before him suddenly transformed from his ancestor into the Patriarch of the Su Family, who shrieked mournfully as he charged!

The Zhe Family Sword Emperor sneered, "An illusion? You think you can fool me? Die!" As he spoke, a tremendous aura erupted from his body, and a crushing pressure rolled toward his opponent!

At the same time, his treasured sword erupted with intense Sword Qi, forming a streak of light as fast as lightning that slashed viciously at his foe!

His speed was undeniably fast.

But just as his aura flared, his opponent’s aura suddenly erupted with ten times the intensity, suppressing the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor Realm powerhouse so completely that he coughed up blood on the spot!

His sword strike, filled with destructive power, naturally never landed. He then felt a tight grip on his head as his hair was seized, and his opponent’s other hand slammed viciously into his Dantian!

"AH!"

The Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor Realm powerhouse let out an incredibly wretched scream!

And in that instant, Ling Xiao momentarily halted the array’s operation! The bloodcurdling scream abruptly echoed through the night sky of Penzes New City!

Many members of the noble families and sects turned pale with fright. The scream was so horrifying it sounded otherworldly. ’What in the world is happening inside the Lingxiao Mansion?’

Outside, the Tier Two Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family, who was barely holding on against Su Xue, Shangguan Yutong, and Tiger, suddenly heard the scream. His expression changed in terror! He recognized the voice—it was one of his own!

In that split second of distraction, Su Xue clenched her teeth, her sword erupting with Sword Qi thick with killing intent, and pierced through her opponent’s heart. This greatly disappointed Thirteenth Master and Fourteenth Master, who had just rushed over.

"Su Girl, why didn’t you leave him for us to kill?" Thirteenth Master whined like a child who didn’t get a toy.

"Your kill had no creativity! What a pity," Fourteenth Master said, shaking his head.

As for the Tier Three Sword Emperor fighting Quefeng, he had long since died at Quefeng’s hands!

A Tier Three versus a Tier Five—and a Tier Five who was an ancient monster that had lived for countless years at that. Quefeng’s strength was simply not something the Zhe Family’s Tier Three Sword Emperor could contend with! Even if he had a Divine Sword Skill, it wouldn’t have mattered, not to mention he didn’t have one.

The six Sword Emperor Powerhouses looked down at the array, which had once again fallen silent. They couldn’t help but hover in the air, unwilling to leave. They were far more worried about the situation inside than the spectators from the other families and sects. ’Since we’ve already been exposed, we might as well stay here!’

So far, five of the Zhe Family’s powerhouses had died! Four Sword Emperor Powerhouses remained, trapped within the Life Gate, the Death Gate, and the Annihilation Gate respectively. As for the Zhe Family’s ancestor, Zhe Wanqian, who was in the Ming Sect, he had just shattered "Ling Xiao’s" Dantian with a palm strike. It wasn’t until his victim let out that wretched scream that he felt something was amiss. When he focused his vision, he realized the person he had struck with his full strength was actually one of his own clansmen!

He instantly let out a heaven-shaking roar, "Ling Xiao! I’ll kill you!"

Tossing aside his dying clansman, Zhe Wanqian unleashed his full power and began to frantically attack the Four Symbols Grand Array!

A cold sneer played on Ling Xiao’s lips as he redirected all of Zhe Wanqian’s world-destroying attacks into the other three gates! The four Sword Emperor Realm powerhouses inside were utterly horrified, dodging wretchedly while also having to deal with the array’s own mix of real and illusory attacks and harassment!

Before long, all of them were killed by their own ancestor’s crazed attacks! And Zhe Wanqian, as if he had limitless energy, continued to madly attack the Heart Demons that reappeared before him!

The first hint of dawn appeared in the east, lifting the mysterious veil of night. Time flowed on like this for seven straight days!

The people from the noble families and sects had been watching from this spot for seven days! Almost no one had slept. The word "shock" was no longer enough to describe what they were all feeling.

It wasn’t that they all wanted to watch, but rather... they couldn’t leave even if they wanted to! The Ice Blue Water Light Array continued to shimmer with light, sealing off the entirety of Penzes City!

This mysterious "mechanism" made the members of the noble families and sects both green with envy and cold with fear.

The Zhe Family had sent one Sword Venerable and nine Sword Emperors. So far, they had seen three die, and for seven days, the other seven had not emerged! Not a single one! Who else would dare provoke this Ling Xiao and ask him about his mysterious mechanism?

Ling Xiao refined the souls of the Zhe Family Sword Emperor Powerhouses who had perished in the array into an Array for Protecting the Fallen Soul, and launched a final attack against Zhe Wanqian!

After the seventh day, just as the spectators from the noble families and sects were about to lose the last of their patience, the entire Inner City of the Ling Mansion suddenly erupted in brilliant light! Ten thousand rays of light shot toward the sky.

The sky was clear and bright, but in that instant, the light actually outshone the brilliant sun!

Under the nervous gazes of countless people, a tall, slender, and handsome young man slowly rose from within the myriad rays of light.
