Chapter 475 - 637 : murderous aura

Before his words had even fallen, the Cao disciples inside the formation all raised their heads. Their eyes were filled with shock and anger, but because of the dragon pressure and the spirit leopard's murderous aura, they did not dare speak.

Wentian continued, "I also want your Cao clan to return Ye Xuehua's son!"

"If you agree, the old and new grudges between your Cao clan and my Jianyi family will be written off!"

"Wentian, do not go too far!"

The veins on Cao Jiyi's forehead bulged like coiled dragons, and his face was iron-blue.

He abruptly swept his sleeve, and Golden Core pressure and spiritual power stirred with it, but when they touched the pressure released by Moyue, they suddenly became sluggish.

"Wentian is slapping the Cao family's face!" Lei Hekong transmitted to Lei Yunchao.

"Previously, when the Jianyi family was weak, the Cao family pressed them step by step and suppressed them. Now, anyone in their place would choose revenge. Yet Wentian has not been blinded by hatred and directly started a war. This shows his heart and bearing," Lei Yunchao said with admiration.

Lei Hekong sighed inwardly. "The Jianyi family truly never provoked others and only silently developed the Jianyi family. It is said that the anger of a good person is the most terrifying. The sages truly do not deceive."

"Wentian, do not think my Cao family fears your Jianyi family!" Cao Jiyi said coldly.

"But I think, Senior Cao, you should fear us!" Wentian smiled faintly. "Thanks to your Cao family sending the Xue family ancestor to my Jianyi family, my Jianyi family gained another Golden Core trump card!"

Wentian slowly raised his arm, his fingertips landing on the black corpse pouch at his waist.

The next moment,

A blood-colored figure flew out from the corpse pouch.

Its corpse body did not rot. Beneath its skin, blood patterns moved like snakes. Its eyes were empty, yet two clusters of dark red ghost fire burned within them. As soon as it appeared, it released an ear-piercing shriek.

Within the shriek was Golden Core-level pressure, and blood fiend qi also seeped out like black mist.

The surrounding people all covered their ears to avoid having their eardrums pierced by the shriek.

Afterward, seven black shadows leapt out one after another, each tall and sturdy, their armor stained with blood, their bodies surrounded by blood fiend qi.

Although they were not comparable to the previous blood corpse, each aura was comparable to Foundation Establishment completion, making people horrified at the sight.

When they landed, the ground trembled lightly. They raised their heads and shrieked together, their sound waves splitting metal and stone.

"You actually refined Xue Lingshang into a Profound Yin Blood Corpse?!" Cao Jiyi's voice trembled slightly.

When these words came out, all the Cao disciples inside the formation erupted in shock.

"A Golden Core cultivator actually fell at the hands of the Jianyi family?!"

"And was refined into a blood corpse puppet!"

The watching aristocratic family cultivators' faces were horrified, their eyes filled with fear.

"Not only that. This Jianyi used the blood of the entire Xue clan's disciples to refine this Profound Yin Blood Corpse, increasing its ferocity and power by another thirty percent."

Wentian said this calmly, while everyone else felt a chill run down their spines.

"The Xue family ancestor wanted to exterminate my Jianyi family's entire clan and plunder my Jianyi family's foundation. Then I exterminated his clan, refined his body, and made him be driven by my Jianyi family for all eternity!"

"Of course, if the one who came that day was you, Senior Cao, then this Jianyi would not have come today merely to settle grudges."

The Golden Core Profound Yin Blood Corpse and seven Foundation Establishment completion blood corpses, if they entered the grand formation, would be enough to slaughter all Cao Foundation Establishment cultivators and the other Qi Refining disciples present.

Cao Jiyi naturally understood this point, and if he chose to start a war,

Facing two third-rank demonic beasts, one of which was a third-rank flood dragon, plus a Golden Core Profound Yin Blood Corpse, he had no chance of victory at all!

"After today, my Cao clan's face will likely be swept to the ground, and our thousand-year prestige will also become the Jianyi family's stepping stone!"

Cao Jiyi swept his gaze over the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators of the various families, his heart filled with nameless anger.

"A group of unfilial descendants, incapable of success yet more than capable of causing ruin!"

He hesitated for only a moment before making a decision.

His figure suddenly flashed, like a cyan rainbow shooting straight above the Cao disciples. His robes fluttered without the slightest hesitation.

The Cao disciples had not yet reacted.

They saw Cao Jiyi suddenly raise his sleeve. Golden Core spiritual power around him erupted, condensing into dozens of crimson threads as fine as ox hair.

The threads glowed with scorching radiance and shot toward their targets like lightning.

First were Cao Shengming, Cao Jinyan, Cao Defeng, and Cao Yulong.

The sound of the threads piercing the air was sharp. Several soft puffs rang out one after another as the crimson threads pierced straight through their skulls. Blood beads dripped down the thread ends. Their corpses fell limply, and their eyes remained shocked even in death.

Immediately afterward, his wrist turned, and the threads swept like a rainstorm toward the forty-plus late Qi Refining disciples behind them.

Where the crimson threads passed, skulls were pierced one after another. Brain matter and blood splashed onto the green stone inside the formation. More than forty corpses fell layer upon layer, dull thuds joining into one.

The Cao disciples inside the formation were all horrified. Some timid ones covered their mouths and wanted to cry out, but when Cao Jiyi's cold gaze swept over them, they instantly fell silent.

He withdrew his sleeves and stood. The threads at his fingertips faded. Blood droplets stained on his robe hem slid down the fabric, yet his expression showed no ripple at all.

Only the coldness after killing remained in his eyes. "The calamity was caused by you. Then it shall be repaid by you!"

Cold sweat continuously seeped from Cao Dezhang's forehead, and lingering fear filled his heart. Fortunately, he had never targeted the Jianyi family.

"Senior Cao is decisive. This Jianyi admires it. However, my original intent was to bring them alive to the graves of my Jianyi clansmen, have them kowtow and apologize, then execute them. Now that it has come to this, this Jianyi is truly in a difficult position."

Wentian smiled faintly. "But on account of Senior's face, please hand their corpses to my Jianyi family.

"As for storage pouches and the like, there is no need. Your Cao family may keep them yourselves."

"Send their corpses out!" Cao Jiyi said coldly.

"Yes, Ancestor." Cao Dezhang personally acted and sent the deceased Cao disciples' corpses outside the formation.

Wentian looked toward Jianyi Dewen. "Collect all of them."

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Jianyi Dewen's eyes were crimson, and a layer of mist rose in them. He roared inwardly, "Deqian, Yan'er, did you see it?

"The Great Elder has obtained justice for you!"

"There is still one person," Wentian said.
