Slaughter
Lei Yuanzong's main hall.
Guangye, Leidao, Zhang Ziyu, Zhang Guangming, Bian Shouxin, and Leique, the six Martial Kings, looked down at the Gu Jinlai above them from the void, as if they were Celestial Person, and felt a chill run through their entire bodies.
Especially Guangye, a top martial arts master, had his hand trembling slightly as he gripped his sword.
"How can he... be so strong!?"
Lei Dao said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't they say... he's at most a peak Martial King?"
No one answered.
High-level Celestial Person, White Phoenix Feather!
Zhang Chongshan, the Peak Martial King!
The two strongest on their side.
In addition, there's Zhang Guanghua, a high-level Martial King!
The three top experts, who had only been fighting for two breaths, were all killed by Gu Jinlai.
That kind of Divine Ability, that kind of speed, that kind of strength...
It's absolutely suffocating.
"Sixty thousand... His combat power is definitely over sixty thousand... This is... a peak Celestial Person..."
Bian Shouxin's tone carried a hint of despair.
When the sect leader led them to besiege Gu Jinlai, they never expected that they would be besieging a top expert with a combat power of 60,000.
It should be noted that, according to the "Three-Nine Ascension Ranking of Tianxia Tower," being one rank higher grants a significant advantage.
Being two levels higher, the weaker party has very little chance of escaping.
And he...
He was just an ordinary martial king.
Facing this top-tier being floating in the void, there was a full five levels of difference!
This gap is like that between a peak Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord and a peak Celestial Person, so vast that the other could easily kill him with a single, casually released Divine Ability.
That's it?
The Gu Jinlai figure floated in the void, looking down at the six Martial Kings below. "You went to great lengths to set up a trap, but now you can't even injure me. This is very disappointing."
Gu Jinlai!
Guangye gazed at the figures from Gu Jinlai in the void.
Some martial kings can indeed use Divine Ability to traverse the air, but none can hover in the void like this Gu Jinlai...
This is a skill that only Celestial Person can possess.
For a moment, he was confused about whether the Gu Jinlai was a Celestial Person or a martial king.
However, now is clearly not the time to consider this.
"Gentlemen, things have come to this point, we have no choice but to fight to the bitter end!"
Guangye said in a deep voice.
His words were immediately echoed by the other five Martial Kings.
"That's right. We still have six Martial Kings, and Lord Guangye is a top-tier Martial King. With the six of us working together, I don't believe we can't defeat him."
"Yes, let's attack together, set up a battle formation, and surround and kill him."
"Let's go! Everyone, charge!"
The five men spoke in unison, their voices filled with murderous intent and determination.
One breath later...
None of the six Martial Kings made the first move.
For a moment, the six people looked at each other, all feeling somewhat awkward.
But neither Gu Jinlai intend to give them time to continue their awkward conversation.
He lowered his head, lightning crackling on the Cheng Ying sword in his hand. "You have one last chance now, fight back with all your might! Otherwise... you will all die here today!"
"Not good!"
Looking at the electric light contained in the sword in Gu Jinlai's hand, Guangye unleashed his power without hesitation.
As the ground beneath his feet cracked, his figure shot out like a cannonball at top speed.
Direction...
It was none other than the City of Wind and Rain.
He wanted to escape.
They fled back to the City of Wind and Rain.
Seeing Guangye's appearance, Bai Ziyu, Zhang Guangming, Lei Dao and the others were slightly taken aback, but then they reacted and quickly scattered in all directions.
As they ran, Gu Jinlai thunder swords descended from the sky, aiming at the weaker Lei Que.
Lei Que sensed the danger when he was targeted by the gazes of those from Gu Jinlai, but...
The Thunder Sword was too fast.
It was so fast that even an ordinary Martial King like Lei Que couldn't react in time.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous roar, he was pierced through the body by the lightning sword and killed instantly.
Shooting down the Thunder Sparrow, his figure, existing in the void Gu Jinlai, was like a Celestial Person, riding the wind and pursuing its target...
It was Bai Ziyu!
He clasped his hands together, and the Chaotic Starlight Body circulated, with streaks of lightning re-condensing in his hands.
Gu Jinlai!
Bai Ziyu roared, "You destroyed all our major forces, wasn't it all for money and resources? If you can spare my life, I'm willing to hand over all of the Bai family's resources..."
His response was met with a thunderous sword, a weapon that had been unleashed once more Gu Jinlai.
"Boom!"
A thunderclap pierced the sky.
Even though this lightning sword didn't have a spirit sword, the power it contained was still beyond what Zhang Guangming, an ordinary Martial King, could withstand.
Amidst the roar, this Martial King followed in the footsteps of the Thunder Sparrow.
He then caught up with Bian Shouxin and did the same thing.
These martial kings, who were extremely powerful in the outside world, were almost powerless against Gu Jinlai, who possessed aerial superiority and a long-range weapon equivalent to the Thunder Sword.
Just like how the Primordial Spirit True Lord shot down a powerful Demonic Beasts.
Wrong.
The difference between the realms of Celestial Person is probably equivalent to the difference between Spirit Refining and cultivating the Primordial Spirit.
The Thunder Sword, refined over Gu Jinlai, is no less lethal than the Divine Ability of Slaughter. Furthermore, he has mastered this Divine Ability to a high degree, making his combat strength as a peak Celestial Person being beyond doubt.
Dealing with these ordinary martial kings...
It was just like Primordial Spirit True Lord a sword in the azure sky, constantly shooting down mid-level and even lower-level great Demonic Beasts.
After annihilating Lei Que, Bai Ziyu, and Bian Shouxin with a thunderous roar, Gu Jinlai once again caught up with Zhang Guangming.
The Zhang family's Martial King stared in horror at the figure crackling with lightning in his hand, as if it were the master of thunder, and cried out, "Ancient Martial King, I, Zhang, admit defeat today. From now on, the Zhang family is willing to serve the Ancient Martial King, to be loyal to the Ancient Martial King, and to contribute our strength..."
"I appreciate your contribution."
Looking at Zhang Guangming's equally Bright Red -red Karma, Gu Jinlai did not hesitate to unleash another thunderous sword.
At this moment, Lei Dao, who had escaped the fastest, had already appeared at the edge of the formation. "Quick! Quickly open the formation!"
Lei Yuanzong was shrouded in an array.
This formation isn't particularly strong defensively.
Its true purpose was to block light, sound, and other forms of noise to prevent the news of what happened at Lei Yuanzong from spreading.
After Gu Jinlai was more or less the deputy district chief of the southeast outer city. If they killed Gu Jinlai in full view of everyone without sufficient reason, it would bring considerable trouble to the forces behind them.
However, if they cover it up, even if the whole world knows that they killed the person, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, they don't need to worry about leaving any hidden dangers.
Unless some big shot decides to deal with them.
If a powerful figure were to take action against them, the other party would have plenty of ways to deal with them, and they would have no choice but to submit.
Right now, this formation, which has little defensive power and only forms a chaotic array of light and shadow, has become Lei Dao's life-or-death barrier.
He suddenly drew his sword, swiftly slashing at the key array base, attempting to forcibly tear the array apart.
But in just a few moments of delay, Gu Jinlai had killed several Martial Kings, had already broken through the air and arrived.
The thunder roared, constantly stimulating Lei Dao's nerves.
No! No! No!
Lei Dao roared and unleashed a frenzied barrage of sword strikes, each blade stretching for hundreds of meters, tearing trenches into the ground.
Under this brute-force method of breaking through, no formation can maintain normal operation.
The phantom-like streams of light dissipated, revealing the scenery outside the core of the Lei Yuan Sect.
But at this moment, the sense of crisis behind him rose to its peak. Knowing the reason, Lei Dao roared and moved swiftly. His violent blade light tore through the void, seemingly about to cut down the Thunder Sword that was attacking from behind.
"Boom!"
Thunder roared!
The lightning sword that shot from a distance shattered with a bang, but a large amount of electricity pierced through the air, and some of it even spread directly to his body, making him stiff all over.
By the time he finally managed to circulate his true energy and recover, Gu Jinlai was less than a hundred meters away from him...
"Ancient Martial King, our Lei Yuan Sect is willing to pledge allegiance to you, please..."
His response was a barrage of punches from Gu Jinlai.
"Bang bang bang!"
The earth roared.
The force of the punch caused the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters centered on Lei Dao to crack and sink rapidly.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and the flying stone fragments caused the Lei Yuan Sect disciples who happened to be nearby to scream in agony.
One breath less...
"Boom!"
Thunder shattered.
Before the billowing smoke could take shape, it seemed to be cleaved apart by a divine sword.
And that divine sword...
It was a figure that soared into the void and maintained a height of 100 meters as it flew.
After flying over a thousand meters, he suddenly accelerated, and lightning flashed in his hands again.
This time, the target is Hirono.
At this time, Guangye had already escaped from Leiyuan Sect and rushed directly to the town at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that Gu Jinlai was chasing after him at a speed that he could not possibly escape, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, and his aura rose steadily, seemingly enveloping the entire town.
"Gu Jinlai! You claim to demand the true self of order and justice, but today I will destroy this town. All these people will die because of you. What justice will you still preach then?! What order will you still uphold?!"
Guangye roared, and a power similar to a martial arts Divine Ability brewed in his hands.
If released...
It's feared that the entire heart of the town could be razed to the ground, causing thousands of deaths and injuries.
Gu Jinlai, he had wielded a sword imbued with thunder, and at this moment, a terrifying thought suddenly surged into his mind.
Let him kill.
The small town at the foot of Leiyuanzong Mountain has tens of thousands of people.
If he actually does that, the Karma on his body will definitely grow from its current Dark Red -ink level to pitch black-flame level, allowing him to gain more clarity...
And...
Guangye destroyed the town. If he then killed Guangye, and shifted the blame to the Bai family, it would be of immeasurable benefit to his public image, and would even greatly help his competition for the position of leader of the Purifiers squad.
After all, Hirono was also a well-known person who lost control.
At that time...
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before he forcibly suppressed it.
Even he himself was startled by his own thought and broke out in a cold sweat.
Hirono's original intention was to break his martial arts will.
And because of Kiyomitsu, he almost got caught up in it himself.
If he truly stands by and watches countless people die unjustly before his eyes for the sake of Qingguang, then how is he any different from those evil demons?
With this thought in mind, he dared not hesitate for a moment, and threw the Thunder Sword in his hand with all his might, which traveled a thousand meters and struck Guangye's body.
