"Do you really think you're the only one with help?"
Jiang Taichu gave a cold snort, then waved his hand. "Come out."
As his words fell, ten figures gradually emerged in midair.
This...
Everyone was shocked and stared fixedly at the newcomers.
All ten were in the Heavenly King Realm, and they were not much weaker than Jiang Taichu.
The arrogance on Mu Chongyun's face stiffened, replaced by bone-deep chill.
All these newcomers were in the Heavenly King Realm, and they had been hidden around them all along without being detected.
What did that represent?
It could only mean that Jiang Taichu had foreseen all this from the very beginning.
He had merely waited for them to jump in, then caught turtles in a jar.
At that thought, his expression gradually darkened.
Though he did not want to admit it, they were likely done for this time.
At that moment, Zhao Hong, who had remained silent all along, spoke. "Jiang Taichu, is it? Are you really planning to stake the entire Realm Guard Hall on a mad brat like this?"
"Do you know that every force here is enough to wipe the Realm Guard Hall from this world?"
"The one who offended us was him, not you. If you take these people and leave now, we can let bygones be bygones."
"Think it over carefully. Don't end up trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it."
As soon as those words came out, everyone could not help looking toward Jiang Taichu.
Just as Zhao Hong had said, none of the forces behind them were weaker than the Realm Guard Hall.
Jiang Taichu only held the initiative now because he had caught them off guard with an information gap.
Even if they truly fell here, dozens of major forces would unleash frenzied retaliation afterward.
When that time came, not only the Realm Guard Hall—even the force behind Chen Wen might not be able to protect itself.
Now it depended on how Jiang Taichu chose.
Yet Jiang Taichu did not respond to Zhao Hong at all. Instead, he looked at Chen Wen. "Young Master, everyone has assembled."
You...
Seeing himself ignored, Zhao Hong's face darkened, and furious hatred flickered ceaselessly in his eyes.
Chen Wen said flatly, "Kill them all."
Fuck... he was still going to kill them?
Everyone's pupils contracted sharply as they looked at Chen Wen in disbelief.
"Alright."
Jiang Taichu answered, then waved his hand. "Attack. Leave none alive."
"Yes, Hall Master." The Realm Guard Hall elders responded and charged forward in force.
Jiang Taichu did not delay either, immediately following after them.
"Jiang Taichu, don't regret this..."
"Quit your fucking babbling. Die!"
"No..."
Before long, all sorts of frantic roars echoed through the air.
The atmosphere instantly turned grim and murderous.
Chen Wen shifted his gaze to the trembling young geniuses. "Now it's time to send you to heaven."
"You..." The expressions of those genius disciples changed wildly.
"Die!"
Chen Wen spat coldly and shot forward.
The moment they saw Chen Wen move, those genius disciples were scared out of their wits.
Even Ximen Zhantian and Mu Jiuzhou had been slapped to death. How long could they possibly hold out?
Watching the genius disciples flee in every direction, Chen Wen curled his lips and swept out his left hand.
A sky-covering giant palm rapidly crushed all the surrounding space, slapping more than twenty disciples into blood mist.
After doing all this, Chen Wen moved again. The Imperial Sword left its sheath, and a heaven-shaking sword light sliced through half the sky as endless Spatial Turbulence ran wild.
"No..."
Watching the sword radiance cut through their bodies, the disciples could not help screaming in terror.
"You mongrel, how dare you!"
"Your opponent is me. Die!"
Jiang Taichu shouted coldly and rapidly charged toward Zhao Hong to kill him.
Splat!
With a single sword strike, more than ten disciples were cut in half. Blood rained down, making for an incomparably gruesome sight.
"There are nine of you left." Chen Wen looked at the nine disciples who had been scared senseless and spoke leisurely.
Chen Wen's voice was not loud, but to their ears, it was no less terrifying than a life-reaping Ghost Fang.
"Don't kill me, don't... don't..."
"We're willing to submit. We're willing to be your dogs."
"Yes, yes, we're all willing. We're willing."
As they spoke, the nine genius disciples hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Wen.
At this very moment, they had truly been scared out of their wits.
It was too bloody, too violent.
With just one palm and one sword, he had reduced more than fifty of them to nine. He was so powerful that they despaired.
Chen Wen pulled at the corner of his mouth. "Sorry, you aren't even qualified to be dogs."
"Die!"
Chen Wen spat coldly and raised his hand, striking down with his palm.
"No..."
Amid a chorus of terrified cries, the nine genius disciples were slapped into blood mist once more, leaving not even corpses behind.
Refinement complete. Congratulations, you have obtained two portions of Crimson Destiny Nirvana Liquid and one portion of Orange Destiny Nirvana Liquid. Congratulations, you have completed the refinement of a crimson Life Soul, achieved a new accomplishment, and obtained one Crimson Destiny Treasure Chest.
Hearing the voice in his mind, Chen Wen could not help curling his lips faintly.
This... gulp.
Watching this scene, everyone involuntarily swallowed.
They had seen plenty of ruthless and merciless people.
But someone who killed nearly fifty people without even blinking—they had truly never seen one before.
At this moment, Chen Wen's image in their eyes could no longer be described as merely demonic.
"Miss, that guy is so cruel." Lou Lan Lü'er took a deep breath, her little face somewhat pale.
Lou Lan Shengxue shook her head. "No, I actually admire that about him."
"But this dead knot has now been tied completely, and what comes next is his true purpose."
"What do you mean?" Lou Lan Lü'er could not help looking at her mistress.
"Before this, I was the same as all of you. I thought he was a reckless fool who did not know the height of heaven or the depth of earth."
"But now, it seems different. Perhaps he did all this deliberately."
"What was deliberate?" Lou Lan Lü'er became even more confused.
"This is only my guess. You needn't pay it any mind."
Lou Lan Shengxue shook her head, then looked at Chen Wen's back. A strange light flickered in her eyes.
What grudge lies between you and my fiancé, for you to throw everything aside like this?
Though his circumstances are somewhat special, he is still not someone you can provoke.
In her view, Chen Wen already counted as an unmatched genius, but he was still far inferior to her fiancé, who possessed an Emperor Bone.
On the other side, the battle involving Jiang Taichu and the others also came to an end.
Of Mu Chongyun's group, everyone except Zhao Feng and Li Yundong had died.
On Jiang Taichu's side, one elder had also died, while three elders were injured.
"Young Master, how should these two be dealt with?" Jiang Taichu threw the two men, who looked like dead dogs, onto the ground.
Chen Wen's gaze fell on them. "It seems you two aren't that important after all. You fought for so long, yet no one came to save you."
Zhao Feng's expression changed.
The people Chen Wen referred to were naturally the hidden forces of Heavenly Thunder Peak. They answered to Chu Tianlong.
"But it doesn't matter. They'll die sooner or later anyway. For now, I'll kill you two and count it as collecting a little interest."
As he spoke, Chen Wen raised his foot.
"If we die, Lord Emperor will definitely avenge us. You won't be arrogant for much longer."
"Revenge?"
Chen Wen lifted the corner of his mouth. "That egg without balls is probably hiding in some corner, trembling in fear."
"Do not insult our Emperor!" Zhao Feng and Li Yundong immediately became agitated.
The expressions of the disciples present also changed.
Their Holy Son being humiliated like this truly made them furious.
"The dogs are good dogs, but their master isn't human."
As he spoke, Chen Wen stomped down without hesitation.
Bang!
With one stomp, the two men's heads exploded outright.
"Three things. First, nail all the remaining corpses to the Sacred Monument."
"Second, strip Heavenly Thunder Peak clean. Divide whatever you obtain among yourselves."
"Third, properly settle the deceased elder and ensure his Lineage lives free of worries for life."
"Any talented members of the younger generation may enter the Realm Guard Hall and receive the highest standard of cultivation."
"Yes." Jiang Taichu immediately answered.
Chen Wen said nothing more and turned to leave.
He had cast enough bait by now. Next, he only needed to wait for a large school of fish to come.
His purpose was clear: he wanted Chu Tianlong to watch with his own eyes as he lost everything.
Ji Youyue and the others stared blankly at Chen Wen's retreating back, no longer knowing what to say.
Things had developed to this point; the situation had completely blown up, and no one could stop it anymore.
All they could do was pray that they would not be implicated.
