Why...why?
🕑 Added 2024-11-14 14:38:08 +0000 UTC"Brother Lin Guiyan, please help! If any of us fall, it will be your turn!" Yan Zijing desperately resisted the barrage of attacks from Xiao Xifeng and shouted at the Lin Clan's patriarch.
"...Damn it! Damn it all!!" Lin Guiyan glanced at Huan Caiyi, realizing she wasn't even looking his way. Frustrated, he cursed under his breath and rushed to help Yan Zijing. At this moment, he knew he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take down the three clans, and Huan Caiyi too, if it came to that.
"Brother Helian Kuang, Brother Greatest Ambition, let's kill this bastard together!" Jiufang Kui also gave up and rushed to help Helian Kuang. The Jiufang Clan had strong ties with the Helian Family, and with Helian Kuang being the strongest among them, his first choice was to lend his support to him.
"Brother Su, let me lend you a hand!" Bai Yi from the Bei Clan shouted as he rushed to assist Su Xiangnan in facing off against Mu Feiyan.
Other clans quickly shook off their hesitation and joined the fray. Nangong Zhi moved to assist Yan Zijing, while Chiyang Bailie chose to aid Su Xiangnan in the battle against Mu Feiyan.
"Patriarch Su, let me also lend you a hand!" Duke Zhong from Duke Zhong Palace shouted as he rushed to assist Su Xiangnan. Even with Chiyang Bailie and Bai Yi fighting alongside him, there was no way they could hold Mu Feiyan back, especially under the suppression of the formation.
Duke Zhong's cultivation was at the 3rd Level Sovereign Profound Realm, and he was the closest supporter of Duke Huai. He understood that if he didn't act today, he would certainly face death.
Seeing Duke Zhong making a move, Duke Han also didn't hesitate any longer and rushed to help him take down Mu Feiyan.
Mu Feiyan was the strongest here; as long as they killed him, the situation would turn in their favor.
The other Dukes also sprang into action. Unlike the other clans, the hall contained only the Dukes themselves; they hadn't brought any followers from their duke palaces.
"Stand back, fools!" A cold voice echoed through the hall, freezing them in their places. At the same time, golden flames erupted from all directions, shooting toward the Dukes.
It was Huan Caiyi who made her move, revealing her 7th Level Sovereign Profound Realm. Before obtaining the Golden Crow's inheritance, she had been at the 5th Level Sovereign Profound Realm. After completing her inheritance, she broke through to the 6th Level Sovereign Profound Realm, and with the help of a level-up pill, she ascended to the 7th Level Sovereign Profound Realm.
The level-up pill is truly a miracle among miracles; it shows the incredible potential of the Sky Poison Pearl. As long as someone experiments with it, they can uncover many surprising things.
It was one of the many underrated things in the novel; honestly, Yun Che had so many powerful items, but they were wasted on him because he never used them to their fullest potential.
"Little Demon Empress!" The dukes all recoiled in horror. Each Duke Palace possessed some degree of the Golden Crow's bloodline, primarily using flames as their main attacks. However, what they used was an inferior version of the Golden Crow's flame. The true Golden Crow's flames were their nemesis, suppressing not only their bloodlines but also their fire.
"Huan Caiyi!" Duke Huai was also under attack. He quickly retreated, shouting furiously at her.
'How did she become so strong in such a short time? No! Not just her; the others have grown stronger too! How did they manage to do it?!' he thought, frustration boiling within him as he activated his Fallen Flame Devil to resist. But he was not only far weaker than Huan Caiyi; he was also suppressed by the formation and the golden crow's flame.
'Where is father?! Damn it!' he cursed in his mind, backing away from the encroaching golden flames.
With multiple battlefields erupting, the entire hall descended into chaos! If it weren't for the formation enclosing them, the palace would have been reduced to ruins in an instant.
After the other clans joined hands, the three clans, Yun and Xiao, gradually began to fall into a passive situation.
Even with the help of the formation, they couldn't handle so many opponents at the same time.
Only Mu Feiyan was still unrestrained, laughing as he fought. He was at the 9th Level Sovereign Profound Realm, and even against three patriarchs and their helpers, he was still having the upper hand.
"Hahaha, little demon empress, it's dumbfounding how dumb has literally found you! You planned this ambush for nothing! Yet now, your pawns will soon die, and you'll follow them," Seeing the situation gradually turning in his favor, Duke Huai laughed arrogantly and looked at Huan Caiyi in the sky.
Looking at her figure and exquisite face, an obsessive look flashed in Duke Huai's eyes.
He wanted to defeat her and lock her up in a dungeon to enjoy her body. Imagining her struggling beneath him, he felt blood rushing to his lower body.
"Shit! Bitch!" Suddenly, golden fire shot toward his nether region. He quickly jumped back awkwardly, barely managing to dodge it.
"..." Huan Caiyi didn't answer; she observed the battles with a cold expression. She wanted to slowly crush his hopes before taking her sweet time to torture him.
She was doing her best to stop the Dukes from interfering in the battle of the Guardian families.
In the Yun Clan battle, as the situation started to worsen, Yun Qinghong's profound strength suddenly burst forth. His cyan profound handle detonated, pushing the three patriarchs surrounding him away.
Seizing this chance, he shouted loudly, purple lightning condensing on his spear as he shot it toward Helian Kuang. "Helian Kuang, take this! Today is the day of your death!"
"Damn it!" Helian Kuang's face turned pale. He felt an instinctive danger emanating from this attack; it was likely a desperate move from Yun Qinghong to take him down with him. This bastard disregarded his life to try to take him down, damn it! Lightning crackled around his body as he quickly retreated toward the other two patriarchs.
But this was easier said than done. Yun Qinghong was even faster than him, already closing in. Purple lightning flashed from the spear, shooting toward Helian Kuang and striking his back, leaving charred holes in his body.
If he weren't the Nine-headed Demon Snake with innate defense and also their affinity with lightning, these attacks would have already left holes through his body.
'Shit! Shit! Shit!!!!' Helian Kuang cursed in his mind as he retreated desperately, ignoring the lightning striking his body. If he were to be hit by that spear, even if he didn't die from the attack, he would certainly be seriously injured.
"Oh no! Brother Helian!" Greatest Ambition's expression changed drastically as he shouted and ran to help Helian Kuang. He pulled back his bow and shot a green arrows at Yun Qinghong.
"Brother Kuang, hold on!" Jiufang Kui also rushed to assist.
"Brother Helian, I am here! Let's fight back!" As Greatest Ambition got closer, he didn't stop shooting, barely managing to cover Helian Kuang. However, even then, Yun Qinghong's mighty attack didn't waver in the slightest; if Helian Kuang was hit, he would be seriously injured!
When Greatest Ambition joined him, Helian Kuang looked at him gratefully. He'd always thought this ear-pointed guy was a stubborn fool, but in this moment of life and death, he found him kind of cute. He said, "Brother, thank—"
Bang!
Helian Kuang didn't finish speaking when suddenly, a tremendous force slammed into his back, sending him flying toward the direction of the purple spear. The sudden attack was so powerful that the sound of cracking bones echoed through the air; he felt as if his spine had shattered.
Swoosh!
Blood splattered on the ground!
Yun Qinghong's spear penetrated his body, from his stomach coming out from his back, "You...you!" Helian Kuang slowly turned his head and looked at Greatest Ambition with wide eyes, why did he suddenly attack him? His expression was like that of a woman who had just caught her husband cheating with her best friend, the very friend who always advised her to leave him.
"Argh!!"
"What are you doing?!"
Almost immediately, the Elf Clan and Yun Clan members joined forces and attacked the Jiufang Clan and Helian Clan.
"Bastard, what did you do?!" Jiufang Kui quickly jumped backward, retreating as he looked at Greatest Ambition in shock.
"..." Greatest Ambition didn't respond; he merely answered by shooting arrows at him.
"Why... why?" Helian Kuang looked at Yun Qinghong with confusion, anger, and resentment. Why was he always inferior to him? His clan was inferior, his talent was inferior, and now even his schemes were inferior to him!
"Why? You won't get it even if I told you..." Yun Qinghong shook his head. He waved his spear, throwing Helian Kuang to the ground, then he stabbed through his profound veins with the spear, crippling him.
He still remembered Yun Wuji's instruction; to not kill anyone, just cripple them.
Gripping his spear, he soared to assist Greatest Ambition in dealing with Jiufang Kui.
