600: Chapter 600: The Slaughter Continues!

No one answered.

Everyone was so terrified they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Over a hundred Heaven Realm Experts would normally be formidable figures who could walk with their heads held high wherever they went.

But at this moment, they were not facing humans, but a group of monsters.

Monsters were naturally much stronger than humans of the same level.

Furthermore...

Some monsters could not be killed directly and required special methods...

And the woman standing before the Hundred Ghosts was the King of a Hundred Demons, a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox who had lived for over a thousand years.

This...

How could they fight?

"No one's speaking?"

Daji tilted her head.

"Then I'll take it as your silent agreement that you all want to die."

"So... everyone, move out."

As soon as those words were spoken, the Hundred Ghosts moved.

Ubume was the first to rush out.

With a flap of her wings, her pitch-black feathers sliced through the air like sharp blades as she dived straight toward the group of disciples.

Her speed was startlingly fast, leaving a black afterimage in the air.

Several Heaven Realm disciples didn't have time to react before being swept by those iron wings.

*Pfft!!!*

Blood sprayed everywhere as several people's bodies were sliced into two halves like tofu cut by a sharp blade.

They didn't even have time to scream before they were gone.

Yoto Hime followed closely behind.

The Tachi emerged from the void, the woman's face on the blade twisting and distorting as it let out a piercing shriek.

A flash of blade light followed, and the heads of three Heavenly First Realm Experts flew high into the air, blood gushing from their necks like three small fountains.

Yuki Onna floated in mid-air and gently blew out a breath.

White mist surged out.

Wherever it passed, the air condensed and the ground froze.

Several disciples were enveloped by the mist, their bodies freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ice sculptures in the blink of an eye.

The ice sculptures maintained their final poses, their eyes already devoid of any light.

Hone Onna and the other ghosts were not to be outdone, surging toward the disciples like a tide.

Wherever they passed, flesh and blood flew, accompanied by continuous screams.

Over a hundred Heaven Realm Experts were like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered before the Hundred Ghosts.

It wasn't that they weren't strong enough; it was that the Hundred Ghosts were too terrifying.

The weakest among them were Heaven Realm level experts.

Moreover, their methods of attack were completely beyond their understanding.

Some monsters could travel through the earth, suddenly emerging from beneath one's feet to bite off a leg.

Some monsters could turn invisible, silently appearing behind someone to pierce their heart with a blade.

Some monsters could control corpses; those disciples who hadn't quite died yet were manipulated into swinging their blades at their own companions.

The scene turned into complete chaos.

It became a total mess.

Bai Tian stood in the crowd, his face ashen, holding a silver longsword in his right hand that shimmered with a dazzling light.

He slashed away a small ghost that lunged at him, then turned his head and roared at the elders of the other factions.

"Don't just stand there!"

"Attack together! Take down that fox first!"

Chen Xiaolong grit his teeth, tightened his grip on his green longsword, and stepped forward, rushing toward Daji.

Lin Zhao, Gongsun Yunshang, and Uesugi Megumi looked at each other and also made their moves.

Five Golden Core Stage experts closed in on Daji from five different directions.

Bai Tian's sword was the fastest.

His silver longsword was coated in a layer of golden True Qi, the sword light like a bolt of silk as it pierced straight toward Daji's throat.

Chen Xiaolong followed closely, his green longsword tracing an arc in the air, the tip pointed directly at the center of Daji's back.

Lin Zhao's hands formed seals, and a purple flame erupted from his palms, transforming into a fire dragon that surged toward Daji to consume her.

Gongsun Yunshang flicked his right hand, and a black chain flew from his sleeve, coiling toward Daji's feet like a venomous snake.

Uesugi Megumi was the most desperate.

She bit the tip of her tongue and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto her snake-headed cane; the snake head on the cane seemed to come alive, opening its bloody maw to bite at Daji's neck.

The five great Golden Core experts struck simultaneously.

That aura was terrifying to the extreme.

Even the Hundred Ghosts couldn't help but slow down for a beat, instinctively sensing danger.

Daji stood her ground, watching the attacks coming from all directions, and suddenly smiled.

"With only this little bit of skill, you're daydreaming about dealing with my Master?"

"A bunch of frogs in a well!"

She raised her right hand and spread her fingers.

A crimson light lit up in her palm, intense like fresh blood, emitting a sickeningly sweet scent of gore.

Then...

She gently closed her fingers into a fist.

*Bang!!!*

A dull thud sounded, like the sound of a heart exploding.

Bai Tian's sword stopped in mid-air, three feet away from Daji's throat.

Chen Xiaolong's sword also stopped, the tip one foot away from Daji's back.

Lin Zhao's fire dragon froze in the air like a snake being held by its seven-inch mark.

Gongsun Yunshang's black chain went limp and fell, losing all its power.

On Uesugi Megumi's snake-headed cane, the snake's mouth was wide open, but it couldn't bite down no matter what.

The five great Golden Core experts were all frozen at the same time.

It wasn't that they didn't want to move; they couldn't move.

An invisible force radiated from Daji, pressing down on them like Mount Tai, pinning them firmly in place.

Bai Tian's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes filled with terror.

"This... what power is this?"

Daji looked at him, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

"I told you, I am a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox who has lived for over a thousand years."

"You Golden Core Stage brats are less than ants before me."

She paused, her smile deepening.

"Ants can at least crawl, but what about you?"

As soon as she finished speaking...

She gave her clenched right hand a fierce twist.

*Crack—*

The sound of bones breaking came from within the bodies of the five Golden Core experts, a crisp sound that made one's scalp tingle.

In the next second...

The five of them spat blood simultaneously and were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings, slamming heavily onto the ground and sliding several meters away.

Five breaths of time.

The five great Golden Core experts were all heavily injured.

Everyone stood there like wooden chickens, frozen in place.

They never expected...

That the five Golden Core experts from the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates actually! Actually! Actually! Couldn't even withstand a single move from Daji!

This disparity in strength was simply too vast!

Daji smiled disdainfully.

"Alright, continue the slaughter."

"If a single frog from the well escapes today, you all should just end your own lives!"

The similarly stunned Hundred Ghosts all snapped back to their senses.

Immediately following that...

They lunged at the group of disciples.

Screams, pleas for mercy, and curses echoed once again in the hotel lobby.

Daji didn't look at the disciples again; instead, she turned around, walked over to Ye Chen, and blinked.

"Master, how did I perform?"

Ye Chen looked at her and nodded.

"Not bad."

Daji's tails wagged even more vigorously, her exquisite little face full of pride.

"Then shouldn't Master give me a reward?"

"What reward do you want?"

"I want Master tonight to... mmm..."

Before she could finish her sentence...

Ye Chen raised his hand and slapped her on the forehead.

"Shut up."

Daji clutched her forehead, looking at him pitifully.

"Master, why did you hit my head? I'll become stupid!"

"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll throw you back into the seal."

Daji quickly covered her mouth, but the cunning in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Yan Qingwu stood to the side, watching this scene, her mouth twitching several times.

She really wanted to say something, but the words died in her throat.

Say what?

Say that this fox spirit was shameless?

She truly was shameless.

But what could be done? She was just that powerful...

Five Golden Cores couldn't last a single move; if she tried to act tough herself, it would be useless.

Say Ye Chen was shameless?

This bastard had never cared about shame.

Forget it.

What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.

Yan Qingwu took a deep breath, leaned closer to Ye Chen, and asked, "How strong is that fox spirit?"

Before Ye Chen could speak...

Daji's figure flashed, appearing behind her, and she spoke in a sweet, delicate voice: "In terms of cultivation level, I am at the Early Nascent Soul Stage."

Yan Qingwu: "???"

Daji continued: "In terms of true combat power, I can at least suppress and beat a middle Nascent Soul stage expert."

Yan Qingwu: "???"

Daji sighed: "Unfortunately~ if I hadn't been sealed by that Onmyoji, I would be at least at the Soul Transformation stage or above by now."

Yan Qingwu: "???"

Good grief!

She was only at the Heaven Realm, while the other party was already at the Nascent Soul stage?

Can't afford to mess with her!

She really couldn't afford to mess with her!

...

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea...

Of the hundred-plus disciples, only half remained alive.

Those who were still alive were all injured and covered in blood, like a pack of stray dogs driven into a corner.

Witnessing this...

Bai Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and roared with an ashen face.

"Ye Chen!"

"You... you commanded the Hundred Ghosts to kill experts from the Kunlun Ruins factions; the Kunlun Ruins will not let you off!!!"

Ye Chen looked at him and smiled.

"Won't let me off?"

"When have you ever... let me off?"

"When you people from the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates teamed up to kill a small sect, why didn't you think about whether others would let you off?"

Hearing this, Bai Tian's face grew paler and paler, but he couldn't find a single word to refute him.

That was right.

They were the ones who broke the rules first by attacking the Ancient Tomb Sect.

But...

For the bronze key, they had already cast everything aside.

Yet they never expected...

That plans couldn't keep up with changes.

Someone from the Ancient Tomb Sect had escaped and even got involved with Ye Chen.

To the point where...

It led to the current situation.

Thinking about it was truly demoralizing!

Ye Chen stopped looking at him, turned his head, and looked at Daji.

"Leave one alive; slaughter all the rest."
