422: Chapter 422 Scorpion's Power: Using Force to Influence

Hun Tiandi's frenzied slaughter forced the Myriad Scorpion Gate to withdraw its forces and await the final battle.

Before reaching Myriad Scorpion Mountain, they encountered no further obstacles.

Everything appeared calm, yet everyone knew this was the silence before the storm.

Though the Myriad Scorpion Gate had declined, it remained a major power in the Izumo Empire; a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Perhaps soon, a true bloodbath would come surging like an overwhelming tide.

Hun Tiandi's pace was not fast as night enveloped the entire mountain range.

Night is when countless venomous creatures are most active; subtle sounds echoed through the mountains as poisonous snakes and scorpions swarmed out in dense clusters.

Xiu!

With a sharp whistling sound, a blood-colored figure sped along, rushing toward Myriad Scorpion Mountain in a continuous charge.

The ten thousand soul banner rotated around him; everywhere he passed, whether magical beasts or Myriad Scorpion Gate disciples, they were devoured and turned into white bones.

Myriad Scorpion Gate!

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, a powerhouse is attacking Myriad Scorpion Mountain. The disciples we sent to block him have all been killed..." a panicked disciple reported.

"What? Just one person?" The Sect Leader of the Myriad Scorpion Gate, Xie Fei, slammed his palm onto the table, which shattered with a loud bang from the force of his energy.

"Second Elder, go and skin that reckless fool alive!" Xie Fei said coldly.

"Yes, Sect Leader!" On the left, a white-haired old man with a pitch-black scorpion crawling on his arm gave a sinister smile.

His figure blurred and he disappeared from the hall.

Hun Tiandi charged forward as if he hadn't come to suppress the Myriad Scorpion Gate. As he neared the summit, a massive sect appeared before him.

It was shrouded in dark green poisonous gas, obscuring the view inside the gate.

Outside the Myriad Scorpion Mountain Range, people from the Poison Sect also began to appear. Streaks of light flashed as the three from the Poison Sect and their friends sped through the air.

Hun Tiandi hovered in mid-air, his gaze deep as it swept over the dark green poisonous mist, and his cold voice rang out.

"Xie Fei, get out here!"

"Jie jie, where did this reckless little brat come from? Such a big mouth."

As the voice fell, a white-haired old man stepped out from the poisonous mist followed by several disciples, his gaze as cold as lightning.

"Today shall be a peerless battle!"

His attitude was firm and his expression cold!

Hun Tiandi's gaze landed on the white-haired old man; judging by his aura, he was at the Dou Huang level.

The disciples behind him consisted of three Dou Wangs and six at the Dou Ling level.

This lineup would be quite a deterrent even within the Izumo Empire.

"Kill him with me!" The white-haired old man was impatient. With a wave of his hand, the three Dou Wangs and the Dou Ling disciples behind him rushed toward Hun Tiandi.

Beams of powerful Dou Qi suddenly shot out, cutting through space and smashing toward Hun Tiandi like meteors.

Seeing this, Hun Tiandi gave a wicked smile. Powerful Dou Qi erupted from his body as he drew his long saber.

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, five times strength!

He immediately used the Heavenly Law Saber Technique, shouting: "Decuple Strength!" The saber energy slashed out horizontally toward one of the Dou Ling youths.

Puchi!

The blade entered the body, killing him in one strike. Hun Tiandi kept swinging his saber, every strike utilizing Decuple Strength.

With extremely domineering force, each strike killed a young disciple; in a single exchange, he sent two disciples to their deaths.

"Not good, use full power! This kid is strange!" a five-star Dou Wang snarled, frantically circulating poison Dou Qi to attack Hun Tiandi.

Bang!

With a thought, a burst of deep blue flames erupted from within Hun Tiandi, enveloping his entire body. When the poison Dou Qi approached, it was frozen by the Extreme Cold Flame.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all six Dou Ling level disciples were slain.

The remaining three Dou Wangs formed a triangle, surrounding Hun Tiandi in an attempt to kill him.

With a wave of his sleeve, the ten thousand soul banner erupted, sealing the three Dou Wangs inside. With a thought, he opened the soul banner space and released the three Main Demon Souls.

Ah...

Amidst screams of agony, the three Dou Wangs had no power to resist and were devoured by the three demon souls, their flesh and souls turning into nourishment.

When the soul banner space was opened again, the three Dou Wangs of the Myriad Scorpion Gate had completely disappeared!

"Who are you? Where did you put the three Dou Wang powerhouses?"

The white-haired old man roared. His Dou Qi surged like a tide, forming a palm print that slammed down fiercely!

A terrifying roar erupted in the air, intending to kill Hun Tiandi in one blow.

Heavenly Law: Wind Tear!

He spoke in a deep voice, raising his long saber and slashing out a massive saber energy. A vacuum formed at the tip of the blade, and the air tore apart frantically to both sides.

Rumble!

It swept toward the palm print. The saber energy and palm print collided, stalemating for a moment before the palm print was torn to shreds by Wind Tear.

The saber energy didn't slow down, sweeping toward the white-haired old man.

Hun Tiandi sneered. Not wanting to waste more time, he attacked the old man with his saber, using Decuple Strength and domineering saber energy.

He forcefully blasted the old man's Dou Qi defense.

The massive power caused the old man's blood to surge, and blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the youth before him, who seemed like a demon, with eyes full of horror.

"You..." the white-haired old man snarled.

Heavenly Law: Duodecuple Strength! Hun Tiandi dragged his long saber, the blade carving a deep mark into the bluestone on the ground.

With a thunderous slash, he split the old man in two.

Flesh and blood splattered. A phantom soul emerged from the body, about to flee.

The ten thousand soul banner shook slightly, and a terrifying suction force erupted, devouring the soul of this white-haired Dou Huang.

Slash!

Hun Tiandi looked at the dark green light shield and sneered, slashing out a gap. With a flash, he entered.

"Xie Fei, get out here and face your death!"

Infused with Dou Qi, his voice spread throughout the entire Myriad Scorpion Gate. Soon, a middle-aged figure flew out and hovered in the hall.

"Who are you?" Xie Fei asked angrily.

"I am Hun Tiandi. I give you two choices: submit or perish?"

"Ridiculous! My Myriad Scorpion Gate is a hegemon of the Izumo Empire. You think you can subdue us alone? Keep dreaming!" Xie Fei roared.

"Sigh, it seems I still need to take action." Hun Tiandi sighed helplessly. Soul power surged out, and six Human Puppets flew out.

"This is..." While Xie Fei was stunned, he watched in horror as the six Human Puppets charged toward the elders of the Myriad Scorpion Gate.

A frantic beating, influence through force.

Screams rang out continuously. The disciples of the Myriad Scorpion Gate were so scared they collapsed on the ground, hearing only the wails of their elders.

"Now, tell me your choice!"

Hun Tiandi held his long saber, pointing it at Xie Fei. Under this persuasion, Xie Fei finally chose to bow his head.

The Human Puppets carried the elders of the Myriad Scorpion Gate and threw them before Hun Tiandi.

"Open your souls, do not resist!" Hun Tiandi spoke flatly. Xie Fei and the many elders understood.

If they didn't submit today, the Myriad Scorpion Gate would disappear from the Izumo Empire.

At this moment, sect ambitions and the dignity of powerhouses were all cast aside.

Submission was the only way out.

Hun Tiandi skillfully planted Blood Spirit Seals in the souls of Xie Fei and the elders, not worrying about betrayal.

The price of betrayal was more than they could bear.

"Your subordinate Xie Fei, leading the Myriad Scorpion Gate, pays respects to Your Majesty!" Xie Fei and the elders bowed respectfully. This scene dumbfounded the disciples present.

But this was a decision by the upper echelons; they could not change it.

With a thought, he put away the six Human Puppets.

The ten thousand soul banner slipped into his sleeve. Hun Tiandi held his long saber and walked toward the hall.

Xie Fei followed behind him.

"By the way, disperse the defensive shield. We have friends coming soon!" Hun Tiandi turned his head and said.
