Wu Hao and the others were overjoyed, but their expressions suddenly changed drastically. They saw the destroyed Blood Bamboo gathering together at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty giant sword energies, each ten zhang long, coalesced. Each sword energy, stained with blood, exuded a strong aura of slaughter, terrifyingly so, making the air feel suffused with death and cold.
Ah!
The crowd was horrified.
"Run!" Wu Hao's face also changed suddenly. Ignoring the people beside him, he shot back like an arrow.
Rumbling!
The ten-zhang-long Blood Sword Qi descended almost as if it were solid. Several Young Masters didn't even have time to let out a whimper before they turned into a mist of blood, returning to dust. Under the onslaught of these more than thirty sword energies, the void was torn apart, large swathes of Blood Bamboo turned to ashes, and dust and smoke rose, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand.
When the smoke cleared, over thirty sword marks, each about a zhang wide, appeared on the ground, as if the earth itself had cracked.
Puff!
As a Blood Sect Young Master, Wu Hao possessed unmatched strength and had cultivated several high-level Martial Arts. He was the first to react and narrowly avoided the sword energy but still sustained serious injuries.
"Damn it." Wu Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze icy as he glared at the bamboo forest and cursed.
"This is too terrifying!" Wang Yi stared blankly at everything before him, gasping in shock and remaining silent for a long time.
Although he had anticipated that the Blood Sword Qi was extremely sharp, he never expected that these Blood Sword Qi could merge together to form even more terrifying sword energies that were nearly solid. Even Wang Yi felt his heart tremble, knowing that under such horrific sword energies, there was no chance of survival.
Of course, Wu Hao's reckless advance this time was not without gains; at least it reduced the number of Blood Bamboo somewhat. However, it made Wang Yi even more hesitant to act rashly.
"I have a plan," a surprised voice from Fire Spirit suddenly echoed in Wang Yi's Sea of Consciousness.
"Wang Yi?" he asked urgently.
"Prince, do you not see? I have discovered that someone has entered this bamboo forest, which triggers the sword energy, but as soon as the person leaves, the sword energy dissipates on its own," Fire Spirit said, suppressing his excitement and speaking slowly.
"Sensing?" Wang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to be talking to himself.
"Indeed, it makes sense that you would sense it. I suspect that this bamboo forest possesses an almost supernatural sensing ability that allows the sword energy to eliminate those who enter," Fire Spirit said proudly.
Wang Yi furrowed his brows and pondered for a long time before saying, "You want me to use this sensing ability to exhaust all the sword energy in this bamboo forest?"
"Exactly, only by doing so will you have a chance to enter," Fire Spirit nodded.
After considering it, Wang Yi finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
At that moment, the air suddenly filled with a continuous sound of breaking air, and dozens of long rainbows shot through the sky, revealing dozens of Young Masters.
These Young Masters were all exceptional cultivators, warriors above the Mystic Realm Sixth Layer, each exuding a powerful aura that made the surrounding air feel compressed.
The direct descendants of Slaughtering Four Kings—Emperor Shishi, Wind and Cloud Without Limits, Ghostly Fury, Xiao Xuan, and others—had already appeared here, along with some heirs from second-tier forces.
"Wu Hao?" Emperor Shishi exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the injured Wu Hao, then laughed loudly and said, "You think you can enter Slaughtering Forest alone? That's simply seeking death; you overestimate yourself."
"Hmph, Emperor Shishi, if you have the guts, why don't you try entering?" Wu Hao swallowed back a mouthful of blood that threatened to surge from his throat and looked at Emperor Shishi with a cold gaze, slightly mocking.
"Hmph, I, Emperor Shishi, never compare myself to a fool who only knows how to show off reckless bravery," Emperor Shishi said as he looked down at Wu Hao from above.
"You... are going too far." Wu Hao's face turned ashen with anger, and he could no longer hold back a mouthful of blood.
"So you were already at the end of your rope, yet you still dare to be so arrogant?" Emperor Shishi laughed heartily and said, "Very well, let me teach you a lesson today, so you can remember it." With that, he laughed again, indicating that he intended to take advantage of Wu Hao's injury.
"Hmph, Emperor Shishi, with me Ghostly Fury here, you won't be able to harm Brother Wu." Ghostly Fury, wearing a ghostly mask that revealed only his cold eyes, appeared beside Wu Hao like a specter and took out a pill for him to take.
"Brother Wu, are you alright?" Ghostly Fury asked indifferently.
"Thank you, Brother Ghost. I feel much better," Wu Hao replied after taking a deep breath to calm his anger.
Watching this scene, Wang Yi's expression grew heavy; he hadn't expected so many Young Masters to covet the Broken Pill.
At that moment, Wind and Cloud Without Limits glanced around at everyone and laughed heartily, "Since everyone is so eager for the Broken Pill, why don't we cooperate this time and break through the Slaughtering Forest together? What do you all think?"
"The Slaughtering Forest is filled with countless Blood Bamboos; breaking through won't be easy."
"Indeed, the four of us from Wind and Cloud Without Limits are ruthless characters. Collaborating with them is akin to seeking skin from a tiger; we must not be careless."
"But if we don't cooperate, relying on one person's strength alone to enter the Slaughtering Forest seems hopeless."
"Everyone quiet down and listen to me. The Slaughtering Forest is exceptionally dangerous; I'm sure you've all heard about it. Therefore, if we want the Broken Pill, cooperation is the only way forward. Only by working together can we have a glimmer of hope." Xiao Xuan stepped forward, surveying everyone calmly. "As for the treasure, it will go to whoever has the strength. Once we break through the Slaughtering Forest, the Broken Pill will depend on each person's ability. Is that acceptable to everyone?"
"I, Emperor Shishi, agree with Xiao Xiong's opinion. Attempting to break through the Slaughtering Forest alone is folly; some people are living examples of that—everyone should be cautious!" Emperor Shishi coldly glanced at Wu Hao and smirked slightly.
"I also agree. What do you all think? If anyone is unwilling, they may leave now." Wind and Cloud Without Limits said coldly.
"Alright, I agree."
"I agree too."
"I agree as well."
Before long, everyone raised their hands in agreement with Xiao Xuan. After all, everyone's goal was to find the Broken Pill, and with that premise, it was easy to agree.
Wang Yi coldly smiled to himself, thinking, "Cooperation, huh? I'll just wait here and reap the benefits once you break through."
Having thought that, Wang Yi used his powerful Soul Power to conceal his presence completely, leaving no one aware of his whereabouts.
Xiao Xuan nodded and glanced around but did not notice Wang Yi's presence, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
"Xiao Xiong, let's get started!" Ghostly Fury saw Xiao Xuan surveying the area and a flicker of something unusual crossed his eyes, but he said nothing.
Next, over thirty Young Masters led by Emperor Shishi and the other three top young martial artists launched their attack on the Slaughtering Forest in batches.
The group stood outside the Slaughtering Forest, each showcasing their skills. In an instant, sword energy soared into the sky, Blade Qi surged, palm winds roared, and Fist Waves howled. Various and diverse attacking techniques were unleashed by the many Young Masters.
Rumbling!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A torrent of Blood Sword Qi erupted from Blood Bamboo, transforming into a blood cloud that obscured the sun as it descended.
Upon seeing the Blood Sword Qi, everyone immediately made way in an orderly fashion. Once the sword energy dissipated and the Blood Bamboo turned to ashes, they launched another attack. This cycle continued, and after an hour, a large area had been cleared.
"Everyone, put in more effort! It won't take long before we break through this Slaughtering Forest!" Xiao Xuan shouted, his Primordial Energy surging forth and directly turning a patch of Blood Bamboo into ashes.
The crowd was overjoyed and worked even harder.
Meanwhile, Emperor Shishi and his three companions consumed a pill at an incredible speed after depleting some Vital Energy, exchanging glances that revealed a hint of murderous intent.
The other Young Masters were not all fools either; they secretly took pills that could quickly restore Vital Energy. However, many Young Masters were oblivious to this and only focused on destroying the Slaughtering Forest to obtain the Broken Pill as soon as possible.
After a stick of incense's time passed, everyone finally combined their efforts to destroy the Slaughtering Forest. At this point, most of them had already exhausted more than half of their Vital Energy.
"The slaughter begins," Wang Yi said, looking at Xiao Xuan and the others, fully aware of their intentions.
Before he finished speaking, a long rainbow shot through the air, staining the sky red.
"Do you want to back out?" one Young Master exclaimed in shock and anger.
"Kill!" Emperor Shishi coldly commanded, striking down the powerless Young Master with a single palm.
"You are no longer of any use," Ghostly Fury said with a chilling gaze, his voice as cold as the winter wind. "You deserve to die."
The crowd was furious, but having already depleted nearly all their Vital Energy, they had no strength to resist. In no time, half of them were dead or injured. Some attempted to flee but were struck down by Emperor Shishi's palm, turning into pools of blood.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty Young Masters had perished, leaving only five: Emperor Shishi, Wind and Cloud Without Limits, Ghostly Fury, Xiao Xuan, and Wu Hao.
"In the Hall of the God of Killing, there happen to be five Broken Pills. Each of us can take one, and as for the remaining treasures, they will go to those capable of obtaining them. What do you think?" Emperor Shishi said coldly.
"Alright."
Wind and Cloud Without Limits and the others nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Let's go."
At that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
The bodies of the more than twenty Young Masters who had just died suddenly emitted a faint sound. Then, a wisp of green smoke rose from the corpses, visibly merging into the ground. Immediately afterward, a Blood Bamboo broke through the earth, transforming into a Blood Sword Qi that lunged toward the five.
Whoosh!
A blade qi about ten feet long was unleashed from the Golden Blade in Wind and Cloud Without Limits' hand, ruthlessly slashing at the Blood Sword Qi. Upon contact, the Blood Sword Qi turned to ashes.
Then, dozens of Blood Sword Qis simultaneously shot toward the five, resembling a long rainbow piercing through the void, staining the air red.
However, the attack power of these dozens of Blood Sword Qis was utterly weak in the eyes of the five extraordinary young powerhouses; they were easily obliterated in an instant.
"Overestimating themselves," Emperor Shishi sneered.
