"Ye Jianxin, aren't you afraid of our ancestor's revenge?"
Watching the Heavenly Underworld Sect disciples around him fall one after another, Heavenly Underworld Son was overcome with grief. He roared angrily at the sword-wielding figure before him.
After the Pavilion Master and the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon began fighting, the Langya Pavilion had practically thrown everything it had into the battle, launching a lightning-fast assault on the Heavenly Underworld Sect.
At the same time, the Heavenly Underworld Sect's higher-ups who were currently in the Langya Pavilion were also besieged by the Langya Pavilion's Grand Elder, Ye Jianxin, and his forces.
Among them, Ye Jianxin's combat power exceeded everyone's expectations. His swordsmanship was incomparably fierce and carried tremendous might.
He could actually use the cultivation of a Nine-Star Dou Zun to beat the Two-Turn Dou Zun Peak Heavenly Underworld Son into such a sorry state.
On the other battlefields, even in one-on-one fights, the Langya Pavilion's experts still held the upper hand. Moreover, because the Langya Pavilion had more experts, the Heavenly Underworld Sect's side was practically collapsing at the first touch.
No one could have imagined that a war they had thought would be a sure victory would turn toward the Langya Pavilion the instant the battle began.
The overwhelming difference shocked every faction in the Central Plains. No one had expected the usually low-profile Langya Pavilion to possess such terrifying strength.
Heavenly Underworld Son was naturally among them. Judging from the battle, the Heavenly Underworld Sect would not last until his ancestor arrived to provide reinforcements.
Thus, in his helplessness, he could only hope that the prestige of his own ancestor would make the Langya Pavilion hesitate.
"Heh." Ye Jianxin let out a cold laugh. "Heavenly Underworld Son, you're still placing your hopes on the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon?"
"What do you mean?" Heavenly Underworld Son suddenly felt panic surge in his heart and asked agitatedly.
"Since that's the case, I'll let you die knowing the truth." Ye Jianxin also halted his offensive, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"The moment your Heavenly Underworld Sect angered our Pavilion Master, your death was already approaching.
"Even that Heavenly Underworld Old Demon who broke through to Dou Sheng is no exception. There are differences even among Dou Shengs."
After saying that, he could not resist striking another blow at Heavenly Underworld Son. "Perhaps you don't even have the chance to collect the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon's corpse now."
Looking at Heavenly Underworld Son's ashen face and despairing eyes, he delivered another heavy blow.
"Besides, your Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters has probably already become the property of our Langya Pavilion. Hahaha."
Hmm...
I suddenly sound a little like a villain.
"It's impossible. Absolutely impossible..." Under the tremendous shock, Heavenly Underworld Son had begun muttering incoherently.
"How could our ancestor be so powerful? Even if he couldn't win, he could definitely escape. It must be false information. Yes, it must be false..."
Then, Heavenly Underworld Son suddenly shouted, "Ye Jianxin, you're at least a top expert among Nine-Star Dou Zuns. Don't use this method to shake my will.
"Our ancestor won't lose!" By the end, Heavenly Underworld Son's eyes had reddened. Then, a gray-white Dou Qi Stream shot toward Ye Jianxin from his hand, even corroding the surrounding space.
"Cheh! It's this move again. I thought you had something new." Ye Jianxin curled his lips in disdain and casually split the gray-white Dou Qi apart with a single sword strike.
Dou Qi flowed around the sword, radiating a faint azure glow as it slashed toward Heavenly Underworld Son.
Half an hour later, Ye Jianxin pierced Heavenly Underworld Son's chest with one sword. Covered in blood, Heavenly Underworld Son stared wide-eyed and swallowed his final breath unwillingly.
He casually flung Heavenly Underworld Son's corpse away, shook the blood from his sword, and exhaled a breath of stale air.
He had to admit that Heavenly Underworld Son's desperate counterattack before death had been quite troublesome.
At that moment, an elder came to Ye Jianxin's side and respectfully reported, "Grand Elder, all the people the Heavenly Underworld Sect sent have been killed. Please give your orders."
"Mm." Paired with Ye Jianxin's unretracted killing intent, his calm tone made his usually somewhat lazy face appear somewhat cold and ruthless.
"Withdraw the troops. Send half of the Dou Zun elders to reinforce the force attacking the Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters."
"Yes."
Although most of the Heavenly Underworld Sect's experts had been brought to the Langya Pavilion by the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon, some people had ultimately been left behind to guard the sect.
The Langya Guard might not be able to deal with them in time. Sending more people would allow them to finish the battle sooner and reduce casualties.
The Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters.
As a top faction in the Central Plains, the Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters was naturally imposing and grand, radiating an air of authority.
Even though it had acted tyrannically throughout the Central Plains, no one reckless enough had ever dared to provoke it.
But today, the situation had changed. Flames soared into the sky above the Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters. Its towers had shattered, transforming the place into a raging sea of fire.
The ancient tower had broken apart from the middle, as though someone had blasted it down at the waist.
Countless Heavenly Underworld Sect disciples who had once been invincible were slaughtered on the spot.
"Who are you? How dare you attack our Heavenly Underworld Sect? Aren't you afraid of our ancestor's revenge?"
An elder asked unwillingly before his death.
"The Langya Guard," one of the Intruders said calmly.
"They're people from the Langya Pavilion." Many Heavenly Underworld Sect disciples were shocked.
"Dammit! Is your Langya Pavilion trying to start a war with our Heavenly Underworld Sect?"
The Blood Hell Venerable, a Heavenly Underworld Sect elder left behind to guard the sect and an Eight-Star Dou Zun, roared at the black-clad Langya Guard before him who were slaughtering the Heavenly Underworld Sect disciples.
However, the Blood Hell Venerable was also deeply shaken. These Langya Pavilion experts who called themselves the Langya Guard had previously been completely unknown to everyone.
There were nearly forty Dou Zun experts in this group. Among them were even High Level Dou Zuns.
The number of these people alone was already close to the total number of Dou Zun experts in the Heavenly Underworld Sect.
Adding the numerous Langya Pavilion disciples, they were already more than enough to wipe out the disciples at the Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters.
"Start a war?" The leader shook his head with a laugh.
"Your Heavenly Underworld Sect isn't qualified to be our Langya Pavilion's opponent. The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon should already have been killed by now."
His calm words caused the Heavenly Underworld Sect's people to feel as though they had fallen into an icy abyss.
"How is that possible? Our ancestor is a Half-Saint-level expert." Although the Blood Hell Venerable already believed it by thirty percent, he refused to yield verbally.
He somewhat believed that man's words. After all, he had sent out a request for reinforcements long ago when the Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters came under attack by experts.
If the ancestor were still there, he would certainly have returned by now. Yet the ancestor's figure was nowhere to be seen...
The Blood Hell Venerable fell into despair.
After all, since the Langya Pavilion had already decided to attack the Heavenly Underworld Sect's headquarters, it naturally would not spare the Heavenly Underworld Sect's higher-ups who had gone to the Grand Wedding.
And the so-called gift their ancestor had prepared had been personally arranged by him. It could be said that this time, they had come with the intention of completely breaking all ties.
It was just that our Heavenly Underworld Sect had lost! The Blood Hell Venerable grieved inwardly.
"Heavenly Underworld Sect disciples, scatter and break through!"
A furious shout rang out. Then, the Blood Hell Venerable led a group of elders and disciples toward a Langya Guard defensive line with fewer people and charged at it.
The other disciples and elders followed suit, each beginning to search for a direction in which to escape.
However, just as the Heavenly Underworld Sect's people who had broken through the Langya Guard's defensive line were preparing to flee, filled with the joy of survival, the Langya Pavilion's Dou Zun elders who arrived afterward made them completely abandon any will to live.
