224: destruction

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the Cultivators of Chu Family and the Disciples of Haoyue Sect immediately began a fierce slaughter.

In an instant, corpses lay everywhere, and blood seeped gurgling into the soil, staining the earth a shocking dark red.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, mixed with the burnt smell produced by spiritual energy explosions, which was nauseating.

The Great Emperors present all found their respective opponents, but it was obvious that Su Xuan had a huge advantage.

“Chu Cangqiong! Prepare to die!”

The Holy Lord snorted coldly, and a huge golden rune carrying terrifying Great Path power flew out from his palm, heading towards Chu Cangqiong.

Wherever the rune passed, the space seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, creating layers of distorted ripples.

Chu Cangqiong, who had taken the Berserk Blood Incinerating Heart Pill, showed no fear; he punched out fiercely, and the bloody fist shadow collided with the golden rune, producing a deafening roar.

Powerful energy fluctuations spread in all directions, the surrounding ground was instantly overturned, dust flew, and some weaker Cultivators were directly shaken to death by the aftershocks of the battle.

“Get away from them quickly! This is a battle between Great Emperors; everyone, do not approach!”

The low-level Cultivators present scattered and fled, giving Chu Cangqiong and others a large combat space.

Chu Ning霜 mobilized the power of the Great Path, and streaks of icy blue light appeared around her body.

These lights quickly condensed into countless sharp ice thorns, shooting towards Chu Cangqiong like a torrential rain.

Chu Cangqiong was restrained by the Holy Lord's attack and could not completely avoid Chu Ning霜's ice thorns for a while.

Several ice thorns pierced his body, and blood immediately stained his clothes.

But he seemed to feel no pain, roaring, the bloody halo around him became even more intense, and his power began to climb continuously.

“You are the culprit of all this! Su Xuan! Today I will kill you!”

Chu Cangqiong let out a roar, his target was very clear, and that was Su Xuan.

Everything was because of Su Xuan; if it weren't for Su Xuan, he would not have ended up in this situation today.

Therefore, he would kill Su Xuan! Even if it meant exchanging his own life for his!

“Now that I have the Berserk Blood Incinerating Heart Pill, ordinary Great Emperors cannot stop me. I want to see who can protect you!”

Chu Cangqiong sneered.

“Do you think you can kill me?”

Su Xuan sneered, then displayed his strength.

“How is that possible… How can you have such strength?”

Chu Cangqiong was shocked; Su Xuan had actually erupted with Great Emperor-level strength.

“Even if you are a Great Emperor, I will kill you!”

Chu Cangqiong, acting like a madman, rushed towards Su Xuan again recklessly, the violent power around him distorting and trembling the air.

His hair flew wildly, like agile crimson snakes, and with each step, the earth emitted a dull roar, like a groan of being overwhelmed.

Su Xuan used the power of the Destruction Great Path, and in an instant, an aura that seemed to be able to destroy everything emanated.

The two collided, producing a huge explosion, and a terrifying energy storm swept outwards from the point of impact.

After all, others took medicine, and Su Xuan only had half of Liu Ruoli's power, at most he could only ensure his own survival.

“Hahahahaha! Die! Su Xuan!”

Chu Cangqiong laughed wildly, pouring spiritual energy into his hands as if it cost nothing.

“Husband! I'll help you!”

Liu Ruoli and Chu Ning霜 attacked simultaneously, and with the help of the two Great Emperors, they forcefully blocked Chu Cangqiong's attack.

“No… How could this be… How could this be… No!”

Finally, under the combined efforts of the three, Chu Cangqiong closed his eyes with a trace of unwillingness.

His body could not hold on for long, and being ganged up on by three people, he could only die with resentment.

“Husband! Are you alright!”

Liu Ruoli and Chu Ning霜 anxiously ran to Su Xuan, wishing they could touch every inch of him.

“I say, you two… we're still fighting right now…”

Su Xuan was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Liu Ruoli realized something was wrong. What Chu Ning霜 did was fine, but her relationship with Su Xuan was suddenly exposed.

“Ancestor Liu… you actually…”

The Holy Lord was greatly surprised; he never expected that Liu Ruoli and Su Xuan would have such a relationship!

It was truly admirable! He never thought that Su Xuan had even managed to win over an ice beauty like Liu Ruoli…

“You are not to speak of this matter to anyone, otherwise, you know the consequences!”

Liu Ruoli glared fiercely at the Holy Lord, who almost saluted her.

“People of Chu Family, listen up! Your family head is dead; lay down your weapons, and you can be spared!”

Su Xuan held Chu Cangqiong's head and stood in mid-air.

Some Disciples of Chu Family seeing this scene immediately fell into a state of collapse. Their invincible family head was actually dead?

“The family head is dead! Run!”

“The Chu Family has fallen! Run!”

“Wuwuwuwu, help! Don't kill me, I'm still young, I have a wife and children at home…”

With Chu Cangqiong's defeat, the morale of the Chu Family army quickly plummeted to rock bottom.

Even though the remaining few Old Ancestors of Chu Family took over command, they were still in a state of continuous retreat.

Ultimately, this great battle lasted for a day and a night. Of the tens of thousands of Chu Family troops, fewer than a few dozen remained.

Aside from some high-ranking Chu Family members who were captured alive, everyone else was annihilated.

Haoyue Sect also suffered considerable losses, with tens of thousands of Disciples dead, but their core fighting strength remained intact.

They were already fighting with superior numbers, and Chu Cangqiong's death caused several Great Emperors who originally supported the Chu Family to retreat, which meant that the high-ranking members of Haoyue Sect and the reinforcements from Tianwu Holy Land suffered very few losses.

“Su Xuan, how should we deal with these people?”

The Holy Lord looked at Su Xuan.

If these Great Emperors who came to support and the high-ranking members of the Chu Family were killed directly, the benefits would not be maximized.

However, how all this played out still depended on Su Xuan.

“Holy Lord, leave this to me! I guarantee that before long, they will all be obedient!”

Su Xuan did not want the Holy Lord to know about the Dao Heart Demon Seed; after all, bringing that out in front of the Righteous Path was still too shocking.

“Alright, then I'll leave it to you to handle!”

The Holy Lord nodded; he still trusted Su Xuan very much.

“Now that the matter is resolved, I and the Old Ancestors will head back first. You should also return as soon as possible!”

“During this time, your master and your women have missed you terribly…”

The Holy Lord glanced at Liu Ruoli and Chu Ning霜 again, then patted Su Xuan's shoulder.

“But, I know you still have many things to do, so it's fine not to rush!”
