Chapter 308: Revenge for the Annihilation of the Clan!
"May I ask where the three friends are headed?"
Just as Sun Zhe and the others approached Dayuan City, a loud voice suddenly rang out in front of them. Sun Zhe looked up and saw a group of more than twenty people standing before them, all dressed as elders of the Great Yuan Sect, lined up in a half-void formation, their expressions stern as they gazed at Sun Zhe and his companions.
Sun Zhe exchanged glances with his companions, their faces showing some surprise. Their intentions were so obvious; could this group not see that they were targeting the Great Yuan Sect? However, before Sun Zhe could speak, the middle-aged man leading the group spoke again.
"Our Great Yuan Sect is currently very busy. If you three have no business here, please take a detour. Otherwise, it would not be good if we clashed."
"Damn it, I’m here to clash with you! If you know what’s good for you, get out of my way!"
Before Sun Zhe could respond, Martial Law had already lost his temper and shouted angrily. The Great Yuan Sect was just a force on Thunder Continent; a single team from Blade Domain could easily wipe them out. How could he take them seriously? Moreover, this sect had conflicts with Sun Zhe.
People from Blade Domain were known for their arrogance and protectiveness, a fact well-known among the major powers of the Nine Continents.
"You are asking for trouble!"
Unfortunately, Liang Zhong was unaware of this. He had been focused on cultivating within the sect and had only recently broken through to Holy Rank. In his view, aside from Thunder Temple, who else would dare to disrespect the Great Yuan Sect? He never expected to encounter three people today and immediately cursed angrily with a darkened face.
"Get lost!"
With a sudden cold glare, Sun Zhe's patience with this unexpected fool had reached its limit. Realizing the situation of the Great Yuan Sect, he understood the sect leader's intentions. He stepped forward into the void with his right foot and instantly teleported in front of Han Zhong. A violent Thunder Light crackled in his right hand as he fiercely pressed down toward Han Zhong.
"Heh heh, truly unaware of your own mortality!"
Martial Law sneered as he vanished in a flash. The heavy sword behind him appeared in his right hand, and with a flicker of Golden Radiance, countless violent Sword Auras surged forward in a fierce slash.
Nie Yuan wasted no words, transforming into a gray shadow that appeared beside the Elder Stewards in the blink of an eye. The strongest among the Elder Stewards only possessed Emperor Level cultivation, making them unable to withstand his attack. The gray shadow flickered continuously, and one by one, the Elder Stewards found themselves plummeting downwards uncontrollably.
...
"Let's go!"
Moments later, the three flew once again towards the direction of the Great Yuan Sect, while the bodies of Han Zhong and his group lay quietly on the ground. The most tragic was Han Zhong, who had just broken through to Holy Rank and taken on the position of Elder, thinking it was a great opportunity to shine. Little did he expect to encounter Sun Zhe, who struck him down with a thunderous palm before he could even use his Divine Ability.
Three terrifying storms descended outside Dayuan City. At this moment, Dayuan City had clearly been well-prepared; the enormous City Defense Formation was fully activated. Although it could not compare to the protective grand formation of the Great Yuan Sect, it was still formidable. Brilliant Purple Light radiated with powerful defensive capabilities, and soldiers stood ready on the city walls, massive black crossbows aimed at the three from Void.
"Break through the formation!" Sun Zhe said coldly, his gaze icy.
In fact, there was no need for Sun Zhe to say anything; Nie Yuan and Martial Law were already prepared. The two were originally part of a four-person team and had a strong bond, having worked together many times before.
With a furious roar, Nie Yuan unleashed his Bloodshadow Mad Blade, which suddenly shone brightly. He swung his arms downward forcefully, creating a gigantic blade of light several dozen feet long above Dayuan City. Meanwhile, Martial Law was not slow either; his stout body displayed an unexpectedly agile speed as he infused his spiritual energy into his blade and slashed forward with all his might, producing a massive golden blade of light in front of him.
Those who mastered the Blade Domain focused on the Ancient Blade Technique. These two blade lights represented their strongest attacks. With a thunderous sound, both giant blades rushed downward together, accompanied by howling gales around them. The two blade lights gradually merged into one, with dazzling Golden Light and sharp gray radiance intertwining within the blade light, causing its oppressive aura to surge even higher!
Boom...
The sound reverberated as that purple formation was forcefully cut open by this blade light, creating a massive gap. A section of the wall of Dayuan City collapsed under the impact, debris flying everywhere. The soldiers on the walls were knocked down by the terrifying shockwave, unable to stop Sun Zhe and his companions for even a second.
The three of them continued without pause; in a flash of light, they headed straight for the center of Dayuan City, where the Great Yuan Sect was located. In just moments, they arrived above the Great Yuan Sect, only to find that the vast sect was enveloped in a layer of earthy-yellow formation. Judging by the aura emanating from it, it was clearly much stronger than the previous City Defense Formation.
"Ancient Xuanwu Formation!"
Upon seeing this formation, before Sun Zhe could speak, Nie Yuan exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with astonishment. It was evident that this formation of the Great Yuan Sect had an extraordinary origin.
“Old Nie, is this formation well-known?” Martial Law asked Nie Yuan with some confusion, as he had never heard of this name.
“The Xuanwu is an Earth-type divine beast from Ancient Times. Although its attack power is not particularly outstanding among beings of the same rank, its defense is top-tier. Even beasts several ranks higher cannot harm it. By using its demon core as the foundation and supplementing it with various spirit stones and materials, one can refine the Ancient Xuanwu Formation. As long as this formation is fully activated, even a typical strong person at the Initial Stage of Divine Realm cannot make a dent in it.”
Looking at the massive formation shrouded in yellow dust before him, Nie Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. He did not expect that a single Great Yuan Sect would possess such a formation. As long as the energy within the formation was sufficient, it would be nearly impervious to attacks from anyone below the Divine Realm.
“Haha... indeed, it seems this friend has quite a bit of knowledge about formations. The protective grand formation of my Great Yuan Sect is precisely the Ancient Xuanwu Formation. Even if three of you come here, not to mention, even a strong person at the Initial Stage of Divine Realm would not be able to do anything against my Great Yuan Sect.”
At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow robe appeared within the formation, flanked by over a dozen elders from the Great Yuan Sect, each of whom had nearly reached the Holy Rank. Each of them glared angrily at Sun Zhe and his companions.
“Old man, what’s the point of hiding in the formation? There are only three of us, and you have so many people. Do you think you can…”
“You are Tu Hong!”
Sun Zhe’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and a chilling killing intent erupted without concealment. His purpose for coming to the Great Yuan Sect this time was to find this Tu Hong!
Seeing the murderous intent in Sun Zhe's eyes, Tu Hong slowly reined in his smile. He could sense that the hatred in Sun Zhe's eyes was genuine; there was no way such intense animosity could be feigned. However, he truly could not remember when he had provoked this individual.
“I am indeed the sect master of Great Yuan Sect, Tu Hong. May I ask who you are, Your Excellency? I believe my Great Yuan Sect has not offended you?” He realized that Sun Zhe was the leader among these three and that whatever had happened must have originated with him. However, he cleverly phrased his words to address not just himself but the entire Great Yuan Sect.
“Not offended me?”
Sun Zhe smiled coldly. At that moment, memories belonging to Sun Zhe, associated with the Thunder Continent, seemed to dominate his thoughts. An astonishing light burst forth from his eyes, and deep-seated resentment surged up within him.
“Years ago, when the Sun Family of Twin Lion City was exterminated, did it have anything to do with your Great Yuan Sect? Think carefully about whether I, Sun Zhe, have any grievances with your sect!”
“Sun Zhe?”
Hearing this name, not only Tu Hong, but also the elders showed expressions of shock. The destruction of the Sun Family was not a secret among the high-ranking officials of the Thunder Continent, but no one would trouble the Great Yuan Sect over a family that had already been annihilated. The appearance of Sun Zhe was unexpected, but they did not anticipate that Sun Zhe, who had already gone to the Nine Continents Mainland, would suddenly appear here, and even more unexpectedly, possess such formidable cultivation along with two golden enforcers.
"Master, I have seen the portrait of Sun Zhe, and this person's appearance is indeed identical." At this moment, an elder suddenly walked up behind Tu Hong and whispered to him. This statement truly confirmed Sun Zhe's identity, and the purpose of Sun Zhe and his companions became clear—they had come to take revenge for the annihilation of their family!
At this point, there was no turning back. The Sun Family had been destroyed by the Great Yuan Sect, and Sun Zhe sought revenge for them; the conflict between the two sides was simply irreconcilable.
"Old man, if you have the ability, don't hide in that turtle shell. We are only three people; you have so many. If you have guts, come out and let’s have a good fight."
Seeing the members of the Great Yuan Sect murmuring incessantly within the formation, Martial Law immediately flashed a strong sense of impatience and shouted loudly. If it weren't for the obstruction of this Xuanwu Great Formation, he would have rushed in long ago to kill them fiercely.
"Haha, since you want revenge, why rush? Let’s wait for the experts from Thunder Temple to arrive before we settle our grievances properly." Unexpectedly, Tu Hong completely ignored his insults; a fierce glint flashed in his Jet Black Eyes, and he laughed as he spoke. According to his estimation, the experts from Thunder Temple should already be on their way.
At that moment, a purple shadow suddenly appeared before the great formation. In the void, an incredibly massive purple dragon claw flickered out, shining with an extraordinarily noble purple-gold color, containing an astonishing aura of law. It violently reached toward the Xuanwu Great Formation, and a thunderous roar erupted...
Upon closer inspection, that purple figure was none other than Sun Zhe!
