The moment the long sword was drawn, I knew I had embarked on an irreversible path.
But I had no choice, did I?
Xiao Xiao had probably been holding back for too long as well. The moment my words left my mouth, she let out a long howl and charged forward.
At that moment, the true form of Ghost Corpse was fully revealed. Her eyes were blood-red as she lunged towards the guardians from various regions. Her fingers sprouted claws, and fangs emerged from her mouth. She dashed forward, her hands slicing through the air like swords, directly plunging into the chest of a bodyguard beside Dong Family Head, and then she tore viciously!
With a rip!
The bodyguard hadn’t even registered what was happening before he was literally torn in half, his insides spilling out as blood gushed forth. Bathed in blood, he went mad, truly resembling a demon emerging from the gates of hell, roaring as he began to indulge in his bloody feast.
The places where the guardians from various regions stood were his battlefield.
Although the Defense Hall was packed with people and space was limited, those from the Taoist Sect couldn’t unleash their full power. It turned out to be the perfect battlefield for Xiao Xiao. She charged right in, engaging in close combat, not knowing how many people she had knocked aside. Then she swung a pillar with all her might, directly striking at those from the Taoist Sect. With one sweep, she took down a large number of them. I could clearly hear the sound of bones cracking as people were swept up by the pillar, blood splattering everywhere. One swing must have killed or injured countless.
Even I couldn’t help but flinch at that scene, my heart aching for the Sun and Moon Alliance.
In just that one swing, Xiao Xiao had taken down at least twenty members of the Taoist Sect! The Taoists standing in this Defense Hall were not novices; they all held a place within the Sun and Moon Alliance. Any one of them could easily use Daoist Spiritual Energy to crush Zaxi in an open area. Even ten Zaxi might not withstand it. But now, in this cramped space, before they even realized what was happening, they were struck dead by a terrifying warrior’s blow. How could the Sun and Moon Alliance not feel heartbroken?
They died in such a humiliating manner, and it was happening in waves!
Then Xiao Xiao casually tossed aside the pillar and turned to charge at the Gray-Robed Taoist from Maoshan Dao!
She knew who I hated most and went straight for that Gray-Robed Taoist. He looked like a monkey compared to her; his size was comically disproportionate. When he saw Xiao Xiao approaching, he trembled in fear and frantically pulled out various bottles and jars from his robes—Black Dog Blood, boy’s urine, cow bile—throwing them towards Zaxi with all his might. It was quite a sight to behold.
Unfortunately, what good were those things?
At this moment, the reputation of the Rakshasa Ghost and the Maoshan Dao was finally proven true. The Rakshasa Ghost relied entirely on external forces, and before reaching Master Level, it had little potential. Being reduced to tears by an ordinary person was a clear indication of its decline. Was that Gray-Robed Taoist a master? Clearly not. The Maoshan Dao was gradually fading, and so far, there wasn't a single master among them, not even any reclusive elders. When the Gray-Robed Taoist encountered Xiao Xiao up close, it could only end in tragedy. After making a futile attempt to resist, he cried out in despair and turned to flee, only to be caught by Xiao Xiao by the ankle as if he were a chick. She lifted him effortlessly and slammed him down hard onto the ground. At first, the Gray-Robed Taoist screamed in agony, but within moments, he was done for—completely lifeless, with his brains splattered out.
Xiao Xiao had indeed chosen the right opponent; the Taoist Sect's close combat skills were a significant weakness. Faced with her, they could only consider themselves unfortunate. This was nothing short of a massacre!
At that moment, I felt nothing but exhilaration!
Weren't you all trying to bring down the Triad Tribunal? The upper echelons of the Sun and Moon Alliance had gathered together to find an excuse to eliminate me. Now it seemed like karma had caught up with them; in this confined space, I could take them all down!
Who among these people wasn't high-ranking? Killing one would throw everything into chaos!
After this battle, even if I were to die fighting at Longhu Mountain, the Sun and Moon Alliance would suffer greatly—at best, they would be embroiled in internal strife for a year or more, struggling to recover; at worst, they would fall apart completely!
My gaze was fixed directly on those Corpse Drivers.
The greatest fighting strength of the Corpse Drivers lay in their Mountain Spirits. With the Mountain Spirits absent from their side, they were just a bunch of ordinary people. I could easily take them down and eliminate all the experts among the Corpse Drivers here, leaving the Corpse Chasing faction crippled!
Seeing Xiao Xiao handle things with ease relieved me. My killing intent surged forth as protective killing intent radiated from my body. I swung my Azure Dark Sword, unleashing a tangible wave of killing intent that swept across the area like a fierce wind.
Chaos erupted; those Corpse Drivers scattered like headless chickens, desperately looking for an escape route. With my sword strike cutting through their ranks like a hot knife through butter, limbs and bodies flew everywhere as dozens of Corpse Drivers were silently taken down in an instant. Then I charged toward that Corpse Driver who had boasted about wanting to "study" Spirit Ghosts!
I had memorized his detestable face and vowed to kill him; how could I let him go now?
The Corpse Driver reacted quickly and soon noticed me charging toward him. He roared angrily and swung a chair at me!
Filled with rage towards him, I leaped into the air and delivered a whip kick aimed at his swinging chair. With a loud crack, the chair shattered into pieces under my kick. My leg continued its momentum like an iron whip and struck his shoulder with tremendous force. There was another sickening crunch as his collarbone shattered and half of his shoulder collapsed. He let out a horrific scream and fell to the ground.
At that moment, the arrogance on his face faded away, and when he looked at me, his eyes finally filled with fear and pleading as he crawled backward. "Don't kill me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please, don't kill me."
"Your head, I will keep it as a trophy!"
Hatred had consumed me by now, severing any remnants of compassion. I watched as his pleading eyes fell under the blade; with one swift stroke, I severed his head from his body, blood spraying all over my face!
"Delightful!"
I couldn't help but laugh maniacally, wiping the blood off my face. With my left hand, I held the head of the Corpse Driver, while my right hand gripped the dripping longsword. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, I advanced toward the other Corpse Drivers. One sword strike for each foe; step by step, I killed them all, leaving a chaotic scene of Corpse Driver corpses strewn across the ground!
Just as I was caught up in my killing spree, I suddenly felt a surge of energy gathering behind me. Turning around abruptly, I discovered that the Leader and several others had quietly surrounded me, forming a complete encirclement. The Daoist Spiritual Energy emanating from them was clearly brewing for a combined attack!
One, two, three...
Seven Master Level experts!!
Damn it, all the Master-Level Experts were coming for me!
In an instant, my heart sank to the depths of despair.
