Chapter 32 – Death of Wu Zhen, Annihilation of the Divine Will Sect
Many disciples were discussing fervently with each other, emotions running high.
At this moment, Wu Zhen hurried to the door but heard no movement. Yet, the murderous intent was palpable. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the source of this killing intent.
Suddenly, Wu Zhen’s eyes snapped open, a cold snort escaping his lips. “Humph, found you! Let’s see who dares to come to my door and what audacity they have!”
With that said, Wu Zhen leaped, turning into a phantom, landing on the eaves of a building. In the darkness, he vaguely saw a man holding a three-foot-long sword, his eyes fixed on Wu Zhen.
“Who are you? Why have you come to the Divine Will Sect?”
Instead of replying, Yan Ruyan drew his sword.
“Are you from the Heavenly Network?” Wu Zhen immediately became wary, assuming a defensive stance while internally mobilizing his true qi.
He never expected that after declaring his intentions during the day to seek justice for the Divine Flame Sect, this force would come at night.
Yan Ruyan wasn’t like Black and White Xuanjian, needing to battle and hone his swordsmanship against strong opponents. As one of the leading members of the Network, he was clear about the principle of a lion fighting a rabbit with all its might.
“Clang!” The long sword unsheathed instantly!
“Swish!” The sword light flashed in the dark, dazzling.
“Phew!” The blade sliced through a body, emitting a faint sound.
“Sizzle!” Blood sprayed continuously!
“Clang!” The long sword returned to its sheath!
The entire process flowed like water, seamless and swift.
From drawing the sword, to killing, and sheathing it again, the entire process happened in an instant.
Wu Zhen maintained his defensive posture, his eyes showing disbelief. He never imagined the intruder to be an expert in the Transcendent Realm. Yan Ruyan turned around, looking at the fallen Wu Zhen without any emotion, quite indifferent. For him, life was as trivial as roadside weeds.
Once Wu Zhen’s breath dissipated, Yan Ruyan left the place.
In three or four steps, he arrived where the elders and disciples of the sect were gathering.
By now, the entire martial arts arena was illuminated by torches. The elders had already discovered that some disciples had been killed and were organizing people to search for the intruder.
Watching hundreds of disciples below, Yan Ruyan drew his sword again.
True qi flowed into his sword, and a red sword light filled with killing intent emanated from it. Then, an endless sword energy burst forth.
“Oh no!”
At this moment, the elders of the Divine Will Sect noticed a terrifying force coming towards them. They were terrified, shouting in horror, attempting to dodge, but it was too late.
A red sword beam descended from the sky, landing in the martial arts arena.
Bang!
Swoosh, swoosh!
As the sword energy landed, it carved a trench of a thousand meters, cutting buildings in its path. Countless sword qi erupted, cutting down all disciples and elders in the martial arts arena. No intact corpses remained at the scene, only scattered body parts, red and white, littering the ground.
It was almost like a hellish massacre. Some who stood afar and witnessed the scene were pale with fear. Their legs trembled, and drops of yellow liquid dripped from their pants.
“Ghost… devil… the devil has come, ah…” Shortly after, the person fell back, frightened to death.
However, the slaughter in the entire Divine Will Sect hadn’t ended yet. All the sect’s experts were slain by Yan Ruyan alone, leaving the rest to his subordinates.
As the long sword returned to its sheath, Yan Ruyan stood quietly on the roof, waiting.
“Ah!”
“Please spare me! I have elderly and children at home, I still need …” The appearance of the sword interrupted the pleading.
“Devil, you’re devils from hell!”
“Mother, I want to go home …”
“Someone, save me …”
…
The entire Divine Will Sect was filled with screams of terror.
Yet, these voices didn’t stop the slaughter.
As time passed, the Divine Will Sect grew quiet, not a sound to be heard.
At this moment, a bloodied man holding a blood-dripping sword came before Yan Ruyan and bowed.
“Leader, the mission is complete! There are no survivors in the Divine Will Sect, not even a chicken or a dog.”
“Retreat,” Yan Ruyan calmly ordered, disappearing into the night.
The people of the Network were quick to come and quick to leave. In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Divine Will Sect had been annihilated.
Such a big commotion surprisingly didn’t attract the attention of spies from other forces.
—
On the other side, in Yu Prefecture.
Compared to the Divine Will Sect, the progress at the Heavenly Heart Sect was slower.
Although Zhen Gang had successfully broken through to the Transcendent Realm with the help of Ye Chen’s resources, facing Master Wu Xin technique alone was still somewhat challenging.
Despite the Master Wu Xin being at the peak of the Celestial Realm, the foundational skill, the “Following the Will,” was extremely formidable.
It made Zhen Gang feel uncomfortable, continuously suppressed at every turn.
“Following the Will,” in accordance with the will of the heavens, could harness the power of heaven and earth to suppress opponents.
Although Zhen Gang had just broken through to the Transcendent Realm, his strength was suppressed by thirty percent due to this force, revealing the power of this skill.
“If you retreat now, you’ll still have a chance. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” The Master Wu Xin stared coldly at Zhen Gang.
But Zhen Gang, as the brain of the Six Sword Slaves, was no fool.
“Your skill is indeed powerful, able to suppress thirty percent of my strength. But such a powerful skill must have its flaws, right?”
As these words reached the Master Wu Xin’s ears, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. However, this subtle change didn’t escape Zhen Gang’s notice.
“As expected, I hit the mark! Take a guess, how many people are left in the entire Heavenly Heart Sect now? How long can your disciples last under our hands?”
Seeing that they couldn’t defeat Master Wu Xin, Zhen Gang resorted to psychological tactics. As long as Master Wu Xin showed a weakness in his mind, it would be the moment of his demise. Indeed, when these words reached Master Wu Xin’s ears, his face became extremely ugly, filled with anxiety.
At the same time, he regretted deeply. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have taken the lead. But now that things had happened, regrets were useless. For the present situation, they could only withdraw to preserve the sect’s legacy.
“As long as you retreat, I swear, the Heavenly Heart Sect will close its doors for twenty years and not meddle in the affairs of the martial world!”
Regarding Master Wu Xin’s words, Zhen Gang sneered.
“Hehe, you so-called righteous individuals, when it comes to your own interests, what’s the use of the code of the martial world, the grudges, and the ethics of the martial world? They all seem insignificant. Before, it was you who wanted justice. Now that we’re here and your sect can’t withstand the battle and is on the brink of destruction, you wanting a way out will not be that easy!”
“You …” Master Wu Xin was speechless, infuriated by Zhen Gang’s retorts.
Instantly enraged, his qi trembled.
“Chance! Now!”
Feeling a slight loosening of the suppression on himself, Zhen Gang immediately burst forth with his full aura, breaking through the restraint.
“Oh no!” The Master Wu Xin exclaimed.
