198: Chapter 198 No Other Choice

Upon hearing that the other party wanted them to show their sincerity, Ancestor Yu Lianyue frowned instinctively.

However, her gaze quickly firmed.

After all, having lived for over ninety thousand years, she understood the rules by which this world operated all too well.

If one wants to gain something, one must pay a price.

If one wants to survive and protect the Sect, one must produce something that satisfies the other party.

And right now, the sincerity the other party demanded was clearly—the heads of the Qingyang Sect and the Vajra Sect!

"Rest assured, my Lord, the Jade Maiden Sect knows what must be done!"

Ancestor Yu Lianyue raised her head, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

Subsequently, she turned her gaze to the surroundings, sweeping over the members of the Qingyang Sect and the Vajra Sect who were gloating.

When her gaze landed on those who had been laughing the loudest just moments ago, the killing intent in her eyes was undisguised!

"Disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect, heed my command!"

She took a deep breath; although her voice was weak, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Target—the Qingyang Sect and the Vajra Sect!"

"Kill!"

"Leave no one alive!"

As her voice fell, the white-robed Disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect, though still harboring reluctance in their hearts, understood at this moment—they no longer had a way back!

Since they had chosen this path, they could only walk it to the end!

"Kill!!!"

Countless white-clad figures instantly rushed toward the battlefield!

Under normal circumstances, the strength of their three Sects was actually quite similar.

It would be absolutely impossible for the Jade Maiden Sect to take on the other two alone.

However, due to the previous battle, the losses for the two Sects were already extremely heavy!

Those Elders in the Unity Realm were being suppressed by the ten powerhouses of the Imperial Dynasty in the Unity Realm, and more than half had already been killed or wounded.

Furthermore, those Disciples in the Dharma Manifestation Realm and Cave Heaven Realm had also been slaughtered in droves by the million-strong army of the Imperial Dynasty!

At this moment, the strength of the two Sects was far less than before!

Moreover, since the Jade Maiden Sect had chosen this path, there was no turning back!

Therefore—they had no other choice!

The Disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect rushed madly toward their former allies!

The Disciples of the Qingyang Sect and the Vajra Sect, who had been mocking them just moments ago, could no longer laugh!

"Damn! Are you serious?"

"You crazy hags of the Jade Maiden Sect! You actually dare to attack?"

"Shameless! A bunch of treacherous cowards!"

"Ah—!"

"Kill! Even if we die, we won't let them have it easy..."

"Kill!!"

The sounds of slaughter instantly rang out across the entire battlefield again!

Although the Jade Maiden Sect consisted entirely of women, they were merciless in their strikes!

With one sword strike, a head hit the ground!

With one palm strike, a figure flew backward!

It could be described as ruthless to the extreme...

Those Disciples of the two Sects, already injured, were thrown into complete chaos in the face of the Jade Maiden Sect's sudden assault!

"Bastards!"

"You bitches! You really dare to attack!"

"Fight them to the death!"

However, fight?

With what?

They had already suffered heavy casualties and their morale was low.

Now, facing this group of wolves and tigers from the Jade Maiden Sect, they were caught completely off guard!

Meanwhile, upon seeing this scene, the two Old Ancestors of the Qingyang Sect and the Vajra Sect instantly turned livid!

Watching their own Disciples and descendants being slaughtered, that feeling was even more unbearable than being killed themselves!

"Ancestor Yu Lianyue! You old hag!"

Ancestor Qingming roared, his eyes bloodshot!

"How dare you!"

Ancestor Jingang was also furious, his entire body's Qi surging violently!

The two had not dared to make a move because they feared General Yang Xiong.

However, at this moment, they could no longer restrain themselves; with a roar, they prepared to rush up and kill Ancestor Yu Lianyue.

"Ancestor Yu Lianyue! Die!"

"Kill!"

However, just as their Aura had been raised, a voice suddenly echoed in their ears.

"The two of you, do not move recklessly."

The voice was as calm as water, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Just stay put and watch for this General."

Accompanying the voice was an incomparably terrifying pressure!

That pressure, like the sky collapsing, instantly suppressed the two of them in place once again!

They could not move!

Even breathing felt incredibly difficult!

At this moment, the faces of the two instantly turned deathly pale!

It was General Yang Xiong who had acted!

Although he had said he wanted the people of the Jade Maiden Sect to show their sincerity, he couldn't just let them go to their deaths.

If the two Old Ancestors of the Qingyang Sect and the Vajra Sect were allowed to attack, how could the heavily injured Ancestor Yu Lianyue possibly withstand it?

Therefore, this could be considered creating a favorable condition for the people of the Jade Maiden Sect, allowing them to—kill—without worry!

Once Ancestor Yu Lianyue felt that the two Old Ancestors had been suppressed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

What she had feared most were the Old Ancestors of the two Sects; they were, like her, existences at the Peak of the Unity Realm.

If they really fought, she would absolutely not be a match for the two of them!

Now that she saw the other party suppressed, she understood in her heart that her opportunity had arrived; as long as those two Old Ancestors were gone, the mere people of the two Sects could not possibly be her match!

"Kill!"

With a sharp shout, she transformed into an afterimage and rushed toward the battlefield!

Although she was heavily injured and her Qi was somewhat weak, she was, after all, an existence at the Peak of the Unity Realm!

Even an injured Peak of the Unity Realm was not something others could resist!

She struck out with a palm, instantly sending Sect Leader Qingyunzi and Sect Leader Jin Lieyang flying.

Although both were Sect Masters, their strength was only at the Early Stage of the Unity Realm; compared to Ancestor Yu Lianyue at the Peak of the Unity Realm, the difference was too great.

"Bastard! This old hag's strength is too great; don't hold back anymore, prepare to fight for our lives..."

Hearing Sect Leader Jin Lieyang's words, Sect Leader Qingyunzi's eyes flickered.

Fight for his life?

Of course he knew he had to fight for his life.

Facing an existence at the Peak of the Unity Realm, even if it was a "low-health" old woman, the Realm was there after all.

If the two of them didn't fight for their lives, there wouldn't be the slightest chance!

Even if they fought for their lives, they might not be her match!

But... how to fight?

With what?

The two of them were only at the Early Stage of the Unity Realm, while she was at the Peak of the Unity Realm!

There were two major Realms in between: the Middle Stage and the Late Stage!

Is this fucking fighting for one's life?

This is completely courting death...

But at this moment, there was no time for him to think too much, because Ancestor Yu Lianyue had rushed toward them again!

"You two juniors, die!"

Ancestor Yu Lianyue gave a sharp shout, and her withered palm struck out again!

This palm contained the terrifying power of the Peak of the Unity Realm!

Wherever the palm print passed, the space instantly shattered!

Sect Leader Qingyunzi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly sacrificed a defensive Magical Artifact from within his Sect—a cyan ancient shield!

"Hum—"

The ancient shield bloomed with brilliant light, instantly blocking in front of him!

However, "Boom—!"

With a loud explosion, the ancient shield shattered instantly!

Sect Leader Qingyunzi was sent flying, spraying blood from his mouth!

"Pfft—!"

On the other side, Sect Leader Jin Lieyang was even more miserable.

He was naturally hot-tempered, and his fighting style was open and aggressive, relying on hard collisions.

Facing this palm from Ancestor Yu Lianyue, perhaps his brain was broken, but he actually did not dodge or evade, choosing to meet it head-on, and even actively raised his fist to meet it!

"Vajra Heaven-Breaking Fist!"

He roared.

His entire body bloomed with golden light, and he threw a punch!

That fist print was like the angry strike of an enraged Vajra, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth!

However, the moment the fist and palm collided—

"Snap!"

A crisp sound of bone fracture!

Sect Leader Jin Lieyang's fist shattered directly!

Immediately after, his arm, his shoulder, and half of his body shattered inch by inch under that terrifying power!

"Ah—!"

Sect Leader Jin Lieyang let out a shrill scream, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string...

In just a single exchange, the two Sect Masters were heavily injured and unable to fight again...
