Chapter 2454 - 2454: Knife Saint's Final Instructions

Wanyan Hongfeng is overly confident in the Three-winged God inside the coffin. After all, this Three-winged God was nurtured by generations of their ancestors, using their lives and blood, to become their ultimate weapon.

The Three-winged God was, of course, found in the Demon Hideout Cave. There are quite a few Divine Clan corpses in the Demon Hideout Cave, but among them, the ones as powerful as this Three-winged God are rare. To cultivate this Three-winged God, many members of the Wanyan Family died. The power of the Three-winged God is recorded extensively in the Wanyan Family; it is undoubtedly an unstoppable force that sweeps through the world!

In essence, this Three-winged God is the Wanyan Family's greatest trump card and the key to opposing the Sword Saint Sect. Presently, the strongest force is the Sword Saint Sect. Once they control the Sword Saint Sect, the world would entirely belong to the Wanyan Family. That's why he is willing to bring out the Three-winged God this time!

Knife Saint took a deep breath, coldly looked at Wanyan Hongfeng, and said in a deep voice: "The Three-winged God is completely beyond your control; I advise you to send it back immediately. Otherwise, your Wanyan Family will surely pay the price for your actions!"

Wanyan Hongfeng sneered coldly and said: "Senior Knife Saint, do you think your words can scare me? My Wanyan Family spent hundreds of years and sacrificed so many ancestors to barely control the Three-winged God. You expect us to send it back just because you say so? I don't want to waste words with you; give me an answer. Agree, or disagree!"

Knife Saint's face turned icy, and he said in a deep voice: "So, it seems you are determined to act recklessly!"

"Shouldn't those words be from me to you?" Wanyan Hongfeng proudly shouted: "Knife Saint, if you disagree today, I'll slaughter your Sword Saint Sect!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Knife Saint exclaimed thrice, suddenly lifted the long knife by his side, coldly stared at Wanyan Hongfeng, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to slaughter my Sword Saint Sect, let's see if you can get past me first!"

"Since you are so stubborn, there's no need for further words!" Wanyan Hongfeng forcefully slapped the nearby coffin and said in a deep voice: "Today, I will let the world witness the destruction of your Sword Saint Sect!"

As he spoke, Wanyan Hongfeng reached out to open the coffin. But at this moment, Knife Saint suddenly gestured and shouted: "Wait a moment!"

Wanyan Hongfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at Knife Saint, and said: "Is Senior Knife Saint reconsidering? It's not too late to change your mind now."

"Me, reconsider?" Knife Saint sneered coldly, completely ignoring Wanyan Hongfeng, and turned to look at the Sword Saint Sect members behind him.

The Sword Saint Sect members all looked at Knife Saint, seeing his serious expression; their hearts sank to the bottom. Although the Four-winged God's power is unknown, from Knife Saint's expression, it's clear that Knife Saint might not be a match for the Four-winged God. If even Knife Saint loses, how can this battle be fought?

The swarm of Long-toothed Rats from the Wanyan Family has already sealed the Sword Saint Sect's entrance, making it impossible for everyone to break through. If even Knife Saint is defeated, there will be no chance for anyone to escape. Could it be, as Wanyan Hongfeng claimed, that the Sword Saint Sect will truly be annihilated this time?

The most frustrated person is Nalan Jingwei. He thought the presence of Knife Saint signaled an assured victory in this battle. Who could have imagined that the Wanyan Family would prepare so thoroughly? Looking at the situation before him, Nalan Jingwei felt extremely frustrated. Knowing this, he wouldn't have come to the Sword Saint Sect, wouldn't have gotten involved!

Just recently, attacking the Wanyan Family from behind, the feud between the Nalan Family and the Wanyan Family has been completely sealed. At this moment, it's impossible for the Nalan Family to seek alliance with the Wanyan Family. Is it really the case that the Nalan Family will perish alongside the Sword Saint Sect?

In this moment, Nalan Jingwei's expression was even gloomier than the Sword Saint Sect's members. Although he was mentally prepared for failure when he entered, he didn't expect to be pushed to the edge, facing total annihilation, something he never considered.

On the other hand, Helian Tiehua and others didn't look as gloomy. They weren't confident either, but they had experienced such situations before. Moreover, their grudge with the Wanyan Family runs deep; even without this incident, the Wanyan Family wouldn't spare them in the future. So, even if trapped here, they weren't too dismayed, thinking of taking someone from the Wanyan Family down with them, even in death!

Knife Saint swept his gaze across everyone present, finally resting on Helian Tiehua. Everyone looked at Helian Tiehua in surprise, not knowing why Knife Saint focused on him.

Helian Tiehua himself was surprised, but at that moment, a voice suddenly reached his ear: "Tell Ye Qing that I will help him preserve your lives, but he must help me preserve the lives of everyone in the Sword Saint Sect!"

"Ah?" Helian Tiehua was stunned for a moment, about to speak, but noticed the expressions of those around him; they clearly hadn't heard Knife Saint's words. Knife Saint's words were transmitted directly to him; only he heard them!

Helian Tiehua felt even more surprised. What did Knife Saint's words mean? How can Ye Qing preserve the lives of everyone in the Sword Saint Sect? And how could Knife Saint help preserve the lives of Helian Tiehua and others?

While Helian Tiehua was astonished, Knife Saint spoke again: "Sword Saint Sect, hear my command!"

The position and influence of the Knife Saint within the Sword Saint Sect is nothing short of extraordinary. Upon hearing Knife Saint speak, everyone in the Sword Saint Sect immediately stood up straight, looking respectfully at the Knife Saint, awaiting his command.

Observing the expressions of the Sword Saint Sect members, Knife Saint nodded in satisfaction. He took a deep breath, suddenly raised the long knife in his hand, and loudly declared: "From today onward, whoever holds this Dragon-breaking Knife, you must unconditionally obey their orders!"

"Ah?" The members of the Sword Saint Sect were all taken aback, what does Knife Saint mean by this?

The Sword Saint Sect Master was also momentarily stunned, urgently saying, "Ancestor, this... how can this be?"

Knife Saint's face turned cold, he said sternly, "What? My orders aren't allowed?"

"No, this... this..." The Sword Saint Sect Master was full of embarrassment, stammering without knowing what to say. Knife Saint issuing such an order essentially deprived him of his authority as the Sect Master, handing all power of the Sword Saint Sect to whoever possesses the Dragon-breaking Knife in the future!

"If not, then don't waste words!" Knife Saint said loudly: "Alright, now I command you to immediately escort Ye Qing's friends out of the Sword Saint Sect. Remember, you must protect them at all costs, this is my order!"

Hearing this, everyone was even more astonished. What does Knife Saint mean by this? Asking them to take Helian Tiehua and others away and protect them? What kind of command is this anyway? Moreover, he previously stated that whoever holds the Dragon-breaking Knife in the future, Sword Saint Sect members will obey them, what does this mean? What exactly does Knife Saint intend to do? Moreover, Knife Saint is asking them to leave now, but where can they leave from?

Seeing everyone standing still, Knife Saint immediately said in a stern voice: "What? Didn't hear my words? I'm telling you to immediately retreat from the Sword Saint Sect!"

The Sword Saint Sect members looked at each other, they wanted to retreat from the Sword Saint Sect, but how should they retreat?

"Ancestor, the Wanyan Family members are still here, we can't leave!" The Sword Saint Sect Master immediately shouted loudly.

"Yes, we must fight side by side with you, Ancestor!" Several other Sect Leaders also started shouting loudly, these individuals were even more respectful towards Knife Saint himself.

"Fight side by side with me?" Knife Saint laughed coldly, turning to look at Wanyan Hongfeng, saying: "You think you can fight side by side with me?"

"Our strength may not be enough, but we are not afraid to die!" The Sword Saint Sect Master shouted loudly: "The people of the Sword Saint Sect, only die in battle, there are absolutely no cowards who retreat!"

"Yes, die fighting, never bow while alive!" The other people of the Sword Saint Sect started shouting too, in front of the ancestor, everyone's emotions were more intense than ever.

"Alright, enough words, who told you to die fighting?" Knife Saint shouted loudly: "I'm only helping you cover the rear, I'm not planning on dying. You should quickly leave, as long as you have a green mountain, there'll be no worries about not having firewood, do you not understand this logic?"

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned, they thought Knife Saint was going to fight to the death here. Unexpectedly, Knife Saint would say such words.

"Knife Saint senior, it seems we are unlikely to reach an agreement!" Wanyan Hongfeng slowly shook his head, not worried at all about Knife Saint ordering the Sword Saint Sect members to retreat. Because his people and the Long-toothed Rat Swarm had already sealed off the entire Sword Saint Sect, he doesn't believe the members of the Sword Saint Sect could escape, so he hadn't interrupted Knife Saint.

"In that case, we can only fight!" As Wanyan Hongfeng spoke, he reached out to press the coffin lid, suddenly exerting force, directly pushing the coffin lid open.

At the instant the coffin lid was opened, a beam of blood light shot up to the sky, illuminating the entire celestial vault. The sky seemed dyed with fresh blood, the clouds across the horizon appeared soaked in blood, with a sense of blood-red desolate beauty.

At the same time, a powerful oppressive pressure instantly filled the entire valley. Those within the Sword Saint Sect with relatively weaker strength suddenly felt their entire bodies shivering, unable to stand steadily, involuntarily wanting to kneel and worship. This pressure was truly overwhelming!

"It... It opened..." A person from the Nalan Family spoke in a trembling voice, all of them shared the same expression, staring at the coffin with endless fear in their eyes.
