56: Chapter 56 Destroying the Flame Sect

When the two Elders focused their vision and finally saw the figure standing proudly on the bow of the cloud whale ship, dressed in white as pristine as snow, the greed and arrogance on their faces instantly froze, only to be replaced by boundless terror.

"M-Moon... Sect Master Yueying Ling Hao?!"

The red-faced Elder's voice was trembling.

"H-How does he dare to come? Is he not afraid of the thunderous wrath of the Tianhuo Sect and Earth Flame Sect behind our Huoyan Sect?!"

"Fool! Now is not the time to say that!"

The goat-bearded Elder whipped his head around, roaring in terror at the red-faced Elder,

"I will hold him off! Quickly! Quickly use the secret technique to send a message to the Tianhuo Sect for..."

Before the word "aid" could even be uttered—

Boom—!!!

The main cannon on the bow of the ship suddenly lit up with a blinding glare!

A destructive beam instantly struck the Protective Sect Array of the Huoyan Sect.

The Huoyan Sect's pride and joy, a Protective Sect Array capable of withstanding the bombardment of Golden Core Stage Cultivators, was like fragile glass in front of this terrifying Nascent Soul-level main cannon.

Crackle—

Innumerable visible, giant cracks instantly crawled across the entire light-red protective barrier, lasting less than a single breath!

Bang!!!

The sky full of crimson light points exploded like fireworks, and the Protective Sect Array was completely shattered!

The violent energy impact swept downwards, shaking the entire volcano until it hummed, and dust fell from the rafters of the mountain gate halls.

Before the light debris in the sky had dispersed, a white rainbow descended like a teleportation, landing lightly in front of the two pale-faced Elders.

"Where is the Sect treasury?"

Ling Hao's voice was calm and waveless.

"This..."

The red-faced Elder was trembling with fear, while the goat-bearded Elder's eyes flickered, still wanting to stall.

Ling Hao frowned slightly; he had no time to waste with them. He casually grabbed the air with his right hand.

"Ugh, ah!"

The goat-bearded Elder suddenly felt an invisible giant hand gripping his throat, and his entire body was forcibly lifted off the ground by an immense, irresistible force.

He struggled frantically, his Golden Core spinning wildly within, erupting with scorching flame Spiritual Qi, but in the face of that binding power, it was like a mayfly shaking a tree; it didn't even stir a ripple.

Under the resonance of his Golden Core Dao marks, Ling Hao's combat power had long since transcended the limits of his rank!

Right now, within the Golden Core Stage, no one was a match for him!

"Not talking?"

Ling Hao's fingertips moved slightly, his tone cold, "Then die."

Puchi—!

The goat-bearded Elder's body exploded in mid-air. Hot flesh and bone fragments splattered everywhere, and a thick, bloody stench instantly filled the air.

"Ahhh—!!"

The red-faced Elder's face was splashed with hot blood, and he was terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

He collapsed to his knees with a thud, tears and snot streaming down his face, kowtowing frantically:

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I know!! I beg Sect Master to spare my life! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!!"

"Lead the way."

Ling Hao shook his hand, his voice still indifferent,

"Lead the way obediently, and I won't kill you."

"Yes! Yes! This lowly one will lead the way! Right away!"

The red-faced Elder, as if grasping a straw for survival, scrambled to lead the way.

On the battlefield, Lu Changning faced a Qi Refining seventh-layer Huoyan Sect Disciple, her palms sweating with nervousness and her steps somewhat unsteady.

She glanced at Ling Hao in mid-air and kept cheering herself on.

I can do it, I definitely can do it.

"Heh, little girl, you dare to come here to die at Qi Refining third layer?"

The Huoyan Sect Disciple saw her timid appearance and lunged at her with a grin.

Lu Changning scrambled to pull out Talismans and activate them!

Fireball! Vines! Ice Spike!

Spiritual light flashed, and the Huoyan Sect Disciple was directly blasted until he was covered in dirt and soot, retreating repeatedly.

"Damn it, you have quite a lot of Talismans?"

He panted heavily, the fierce light in his eyes intensifying,

"It doesn't matter, let's see how much Spiritual Qi you can squander!"

He lunged again.

Lu Changning's face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and pulled out another handful of Talismans, throwing them while quickly swallowing a Recovery Pill.

"Asshole!"

The Huoyan Sect Disciple cursed angrily, having gained a few wounds on his body,

"It doesn't matter! Let's see how many Medicinal Pills you have!"

He attacked fiercely time and time again, and Lu Changning activated Talismans and swallowed Medicinal Pills time and time again.

The Huoyan Sect Disciple grew more and more alarmed as he fought, and more and more desperate: How could this woman's Talismans and Medicinal Pills seem endless? Is her Storage Pouch a bottomless pit?!

"What kind of joke is this!"

He was at the Qi Refining seventh layer, yet he couldn't defeat someone at the third layer. His mentality completely collapsed as his Spiritual Qi was exhausted!

Poof!

A heavy Ice Wall Talisman activated right above his head!

A giant block of ice smashed down! The Huoyan Sect Disciple only had time to let out a short scream before he was smashed into a pulp of flesh and blood.

Lu Changning looked at the tragedy on the ground, covering her small mouth, her face deathly pale, but a smile appeared.

"Won, it's just that the contribution points consumed are a bit much..."

This scene was a microcosm of most encounters on this battlefield.

The Moonshadow Sect Disciples used Talismans to clear the way and Medicinal Pills to save their lives, forcefully smashing Huoyan Sect Disciples with higher cultivation levels until they doubted their lives.

"Run!"

"Escape quickly!"

The remaining Huoyan Sect Disciples had long since lost all fighting spirit, wailing and scrambling to flee, wishing only that their parents had given them two fewer legs.

"Damn! Don't their Talismans ever run out?"

A Huoyan Sect Disciple who was being chased and bombed by three Fireball Talismans ran with his head in his hands.

"Fuck! Eating Recovery Pills like sugar beans? Is their family running a mine?"

Another one watched his opponent swallow a Medicinal Pill and pull out another stack of Talismans, his eyes almost popping out.

"Damn it! No one told me Moonshadow Sect Disciples were this extravagant..."

Before being submerged by the torrent of Talismans, someone let out an unwilling wail.

In the center of the Sect plaza, the battle was even more intense.

Around Qin Zhaoxue, a small pill cauldron circled her body, spewing scorching pill fire, actually forcing a Foundation Establishment third-layer Huoyan Sect Disciple to dodge repeatedly, not daring to take the sharp pill fire head-on!

"Senior Brother, help me!"

The Foundation Establishment third-layer Disciple hurriedly called for rescue.

Swish!

A sharp flame Saber Qi slashed through the air! A Foundation Establishment seventh-layer Huoyan Sect True Disciple arrived.

He was experienced and didn't get close to the pill fire range at all, throwing out several high-power Explosion Flame Talismans from afar, while simultaneously forming seals with both hands to condense a roaring fire python!

Boom boom boom!

The chain explosions made the pill cauldron wail and fly backward! The violent fire python slammed into the defensive light barrier that Qin Zhaoxue had hastily set up.

Qin Zhaoxue was hit hard, her face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering back more than ten steps, her aura instantly wilting.

The pill cauldron also rolled to the side, its spiritual light dim.

"I was careless..."

Qin Zhaoxue regretted it in her heart; she had indeed become a bit lax after stabilizing at the Qi Refining seventh layer.

The Foundation Establishment seventh-layer Disciple grinned, about to step forward to finish her off.

"Dare to bully my Junior Sister? Storm Nebula Crack!"

A crisp yet angry shout exploded.

Chi Wanhe's figure was as fast as a startled swan, instantly blocking in front of Qin Zhaoxue.

She formed seals with both hands, the Spiritual Qi around her body boiling wildly!

Possessing a Chaos Dao Body and Void Spirit Root, Chi Wanhe actually crossed Realms to use a third-grade Spell!

Innumerable green-white wind blades sharp as knives condensed out of thin air, rotating rapidly to form a violent vortex that swallowed everything.

At the core of the vortex, the destructive power of starlight was faintly visible. That violent vortex, carrying a sharp whistle that tore everything apart, instantly swept the rushing Foundation Establishment third-layer Disciple into it.

That Disciple was directly twisted into a mist of blood, and the Foundation Establishment seventh-layer Disciple's face changed drastically, bracing all his defenses in sheer terror!

It was just that his proud protective spiritual armor and several layers of light shields were as fragile as paper in front of the vortex.

As the wind blades hit his body, he only felt a bone-chilling pain, and his consciousness completely fell into darkness.

Two striking bloodstains were left on the plaza; the two Huoyan Sect True Disciples were left with no corpses.

Until death, their eyes still held incredulous terror!

Qin Zhaoxue looked at the Senior Sister blocking in front of her, her eyes flickering.

Senior Sister is really great.

It's just that she likes to snatch things I write. However... Senior Sister shouldn't be able to tell, right?

On the other side, Chi Shuying's figure was flickering, flitting across the chaotic battlefield like a butterfly through flowers.

She tapped her fingertips continuously, and strands of gentle Spiritual Qi accurately deflected attacks aimed at Moonshadow Sect Disciples.

"Retreat!"

She called out lightly, flicking her sleeves to send a besieged Qi Refining Disciple out of danger.

Immediately after, she flicked her finger, and a gust of wind deflected a Flying Sword stabbing at another Disciple.

Scanning with her eyes, she found another Disciple in a bitter fight in the distance; her figure flashed and she arrived, lightly slapping the opponent to death with one palm.

Having dealt with several crises, Chi Shuying's gaze fell on Du Yuqing, who was fighting alone in the distance.

She saw Du Yuqing's blood and Qi churning like a furnace; facing the siege of two Foundation Establishment Early Stage Huoyan Sect Disciples, she was actually not at a disadvantage at all!

She had no fancy moves, holding a giant saber, just the simplest chopping and slashing.

Every strike was powerful and heavy, and the air was smashed with dull explosions.

A Magical Artifact shield sacrificed by a Huoyan Sect Disciple was dented and shattered by a single slash!

The other person's protective spiritual light was forcefully shattered by a slash of Saber Qi, and the whole person was sent flying with broken bones and tendons!

Her fighting style was violent and direct, purely crushing everything with the power of her Physical Body!

Chi Shuying's eyes flashed with admiration.

This girl, among Body Cultivators of the same rank, is likely already unrivaled!

Outside the Huoyan Sect, in a hidden mountain col.

A withered old man slowly withdrew his gaze from Ling Hao, suddenly turning his head to look at the white-haired youth beside him:

"Hehe, are you sure? The Sect Master of the dignified seventh-rank Sect Linglong Blessed Land, a Body Integration True Saint, actually deigned to become the Deputy Sect Master of a tiny fourth-rank Sect?"

"And she... her Realm has fallen to the Golden Core Stage?!"
