Chapter 2640 - Death to the Traitors
Chapter 2640: Death to the Traitors
With that, Hun Zang flew off the mountain soul first, charging right into battle.
Chu Jian and Yue Chao could only follow him powerlessly.
The three of them were the only Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes of the Martial Soul lineage, so only they could take part in the battle among Grand Primes.
“Oh no, the people of the Martial Soul lineage are coming…”
“Where are the experts from the Desolate Plane? Have they all died…”
“No impossible. The four experts from the Desolate Plane possessed such great cultivation. Even the people at the Fourth Heavenly Layer amounted to two. It’s impossible for such a powerful lineup to all die…”
As they watched Hun Zang, Chu Jian, and Yue Chao rapidly approach them, Wu Lu, Gong Ji, Changfeng Yun, and the traitor, He Yidao, all became flustered. Their faces became extremely ugly.
They felt deep fear towards the Martial Soul lineage. This fear was not because of their great battle prowess or from how they could challenge those at higher levels of cultivation.
Instead, this fear was solely because of the Martial Soul Force that they grasped.
There was nothing that they could do to block Martial Soul Force. The attacks would constantly make their souls ache. Even for them, it would be extremely uncomfortable.
And that was not even the secret techniques.
The secret techniques were even more powerful. Every time they were used, the powerful attack dealt would be enough to stun them momentarily.
On battles at such a level, the slightest of carelessness could affect the entire situation. If they became dazed during battle, they would face the possibility of dying.
As a result, the peak experts of the Four Symbols Alliance were unwilling to fight against the Martial Soul lineage after experiencing their strength.
The risk was just far too great.
“Don’t worry. The people of the Martial Soul lineage just went through a great battle earlier. They’re no longer at their peak condition. They aren’t as powerful as before,” the Gentle Breeze Ancestor called out gruffly. At this moment, he needed to raise their morale. Otherwise, if they became frightened by the Martial Soul lineage, this final battle that would decide the fate of the Four Symbols Alliance would be pointless to continue.
“Fellows of the Martial Soul lineage, you’ve come at the perfect time. Go assist Zhou Zhidao and Tong Wuming first. I can still keep the two of them busy for a while,” Lieyan Wuji laughed aloud. He had burnt his vitality in exchange for greater strength. The flames roared on him, scorching the space there red as he fought against Wu Lu and Gong Ji.
He pinned down two Grand Primes of the Four Symbols Alliance alone. Of course, the price for doing so was quite great.
The three of them did not go to assist Lieyan Wuji. Instead, they rushed straight to Zhou Zhidao and Tong Wuming.
The Martial Soul lineage had joined the battle. Hun Zang replaced the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak as the opponent of the Gentle Breeze Ancestor.
As the strongest person of the Four Symbols Alliance, only Hun Zang would find it slightly easier to deal with him.
Chu Jian and Yue Chao assisted Zhou Zhidao and Tong Wuming, keeping Changfeng Yun and He Yidao busy.
“You seem to be He Yidao from the Daoist Sect of Emergence. You just couldn’t stay in the Righteous Alliance, and you just had to run to the other side to oppose eighth junior brother. Look at the fates of the other two. Not only were their organisations destroyed, but even they themselves died. Was it all worth it?” Chu Jian sniggered when he arrived before He Yidao. His gaze towards He Yidao was like he was looking at a dead man.
He Yidao’s face became extremely sunken. He stared at Chu Jian as the light in his eyes flickered. “You shouldn’t have achieved an easy victory in the battle before. You must be heavily injured, or you wouldn’t waste any words on me.”
“I am a little injured, but I’m still more than enough to deal with a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime like you,” said Chu Jian with slight contempt. He directly stabbed out. Martial Sword Force condensed into a strand of sword Qi that stuck to the sword. The moment it came in contact with He Yidao, the Martial Soul Force immediately attacked his soul.
He Yidao’s face hardened, and he staggered backwards. The splitting pain from his soul made his face change rapidly. Afterwards, he suddenly gritted teeth and made up his mind.
In the next moment, his face paled, while his body blurred in the space there. He was about to vanish.
This was a secret technique for escaping that He Yidao had grasped. As soon as he used the secret technique, his body would enter a state of being half-fused with space. It would be difficult to injure him, almost making him invincible. All he needed to do was to wait for the secret technique to charge up. After that, he could directly cross a tremendous distance to escape. Even Grand Primes one or two Heavenly Layers stronger than him would not be able to catch him.
Clearly, He Yidao understood the situation he was in. He knew he could not last very long against the Martial Soul lineage at all, so he chose to flee without any hesitation.
“If the Four Symbols Alliance is destroyed, I’ll leave the Cloud Plane. If the Four Symbols Alliance manages to regain power after I leave, I’ll just return,” thought He Yidao.
“You want to run so soon? Though, running away from members of our Martial Soul lineage is not an easy feat.” Chu Jian sneered. His eyes immediately deepened. Powerful Martial Soul Force condensed into a sharp sword and shot out from his forehead. It pierced through all defenses, stabbing towards He Yidao’s forehead with indescribable speed.
Even if He Yidao knew that Chu Jian had used a secret technique, it was useless. He could only watch the secret technique press towards him. He found no way to defend against it, much less dodge it.
Immediately, an intense pain appeared from He Yidao’s forehead. He could not help but let out a pained grunt as his vision immediately blurred.
“How is that possible? My body has already half-fused with space. I’m basically invincible, but why can’t I avoid the Martial Soul Force even now? What kind of power is Martial Soul Force? How is it so powerful?” He Yidao was in great shock. The secret technique he was charging up to escape had been forcefully disrupted with that.
At the same time, Chu Jian’s sword suddenly stabbed into his head.
He Yidao died!
Now, all three traitors of the Righteous Alliance were dead.
“T- that’s far too terrifying…” Zhou Zhidao witnessed the entire process leading up to He Yidao’s death. He was utterly shocked.
He had clashed with He Yidao many times, so he had gained quite an understanding of his strength. Even he was only able to reach a stalemate against He Yidao at most, yet He Yidao had been slain so quickly in the hands of the Martial Soul lineage. This had quite an impact on him.
Did that not mean that if even he faced the Martial Soul lineage, he would not be able to endure a few clashes just like He Yidao?
“That’s terrifying. That’s far too terrifying. Fortunately, the Martial Soul lineage suffers from natural restrictions, preventing them from breaking through to Grand Prime, or no one would be able to overwhelm them in the Saints’ World.” Zhou Zhidao’s mind was in turmoil. He secretly swore that no matter what happened, he would not oppose the Martial Soul lineage in the future.
…
Back to the Tian Yuan clan on the southern region of the Cloud Plane.
The provincial city had already been completely flattened. The towering city walls had already vanished. The city no longer bore any semblance to its past self. Only the Tian Yuan clan enveloped within the second formation remained standing.
A ball of blood-red light pulsed violently above the ruins of the provincial city. That was the prison that Lin Fei had created with a secret technique, which trapped Xu Ran in the space there.
Without Xu Ran, the Tian Yuan clan lacked any forces that could oppose the young star lord. As a result, the young star lord’s people became completely fearless. They began to attack the formation without any worries at all. Even Lin Fei, who was responsible for protecting the young star lord, took part in the attacks.
Under the attacks of so many experts, the formation around the Tian Yuan clan trembled violently. It rapidly dimmed, and tiny cracks would constantly appear.
Clearly, the formation had already reached its limit.
Boom!
At this moment, a powerful strike from Lin Fei landed heavily on the barrier. The terrifying attack from a Sixth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime had finally pushed the formation past the point of destruction. All of its foundations exploded, and the final formation around the Tian Yuan clan finally fell.
Without the formation, everyone in the Tian Yuan clan was directly exposed to the violent streams of energy.
The powerful shockwaves in the air surged down like flood, as if they could swallow up everything.
Everyone in the Tian Yuan clan became ghastly pale as they witnessed this apocalyptic scene. Over half of them showed looks of despair.
