Chapter 25: Chaos (Part 1)

  "What, is nobody daring to make the first move? Hmph, if you're afraid of death, then don't learn from others and provoke them! As soon as the words fell, she was like an arrow shot from a bowstring, rushing straight towards Hei Ya. Her bright red robes fluttered behind her, accompanied by a surge of killing intent. She should have sent this person to hell directly earlier! Kindness? Mercy? It's not even worth feeding to dogs!"

  Watching Qīng Kuáng make his move, Chóng Yāo immediately followed suit. Since the Sect Master had made a move, the Chóng Sect disciples naturally swarmed forward as one, and the chaotic battle thus began to unfold.

  "Everyone rise up, kill the demon king and the witch..."

  "Carrying out Heaven's will! Carrying out Heaven's will!"

  ……

  "Sheli zi is on her!" The black crow sneered viciously and pointed his big hand at Qingkuang.

  "Haha, foolish and ignorant fool, since I can get the Sharira in my hands, why would I put it on someone else's body?" He stood back to back with Qing Kuang, laughing wildly and unrestrainedly.

  The noisy crowd didn't dare confirm whether the Sharira was on whom, but it must be among them.

  Looking at the crowd surrounding him, he let out a light, scornful laugh. A group of gutless bandits! And that black crow, who knows whose hands the deer will die in yet!

  "Black Crow! I never thought you were this kind of person!" Blocked outside the crowd, Hana shouted in rebuke. The friendship of so many years was betrayed just like that, she had truly been blind in the past!

  The moment of cowardice was only an instant, and when the black crow looked at Qingkuang again, there was only a heart full of hatred and a determination to never give up until his goal was achieved.

  The two sides confronted each other, but suddenly a loud laughter echoed. "Hahaha, all of you present are indeed giving me face, aren't you all famous figures? Now, you're actually able to 'unite and cooperate', Qing Daochang, General Ye Sheng, Old Man Hei Teng... Oh~ Wei Ranyao the Medicine Master is also here, it's just unknown whether you'll return this Sharira to Foyuan Mountain or keep it for yourselves."

  The sarcastic remarks echoed in the grand hall, and those who were named were all embarrassed. However, just at this moment, the five Tianxuan realm cultivators from Foyuan Mountain, as well as Wen Renwu, who had been tightly biting onto Chong Yao, also arrived with their people. The scene was momentarily stiff, and the look of disdain was palpable. Now that the host has arrived, she wants to see what kind of grandiose excuses these people can come up with.

  "Worshiping demons, quickly return the Buddha's relics!"

  "This sarira can only be one, and Qingdao Chang said that whoever comes first gets it. This sarira is to be handed over to them!" He was so good at framing others and shifting the blame that he had mastered the art of using the fire of the furnace.

  "You're talking nonsense! When did the abbot ever say such a thing? This Buddha relic was obtained by the great master's Nirvana, it should be returned to Foyuan Mountain." The monk Qing, who had been watching from the side for a long time, looked like an immortal with his elegant demeanor, but as soon as he heard this, he quickly washed his hands of the dirty water.

  The three parties gathered together, each thinking about their own affairs. The impatient Qing Kuang finally lost his patience, and the wooden spiritual power in his hand transformed into a whip, directly dispersing the crowd in front of Hei Ya, creating an opening, and shooting out.

  The dagger followed its master's intention, pressing towards the black crow hiding behind. The enemy met face to face, their eyes reddened with anger, the black crow dodged and counterattacked with a fierce killing intent towards Qing Kuang.

  "Go die for me!" Countless earth spikes suddenly appeared, with a force like breaking bamboo. If I were really injured, that would be a thousand holes and hundred wounds!

  Dark flames swept across the earth, no one noticed, and a word flashed on Xiao Kuang's forehead for an instant before disappearing. The outcome of the battle between Di Kun and Tian Xuan was originally without suspense, but Xiao Kuang was best at crossing ranks to fight. Dark spiritual power burst out, instantly devouring everything.

  "Your sister is stupid, you are even more stupid!"

  "Don't you dare call me Qing'er! I'll kill you, kill you!" The veins on his face bulged, and the black pupils of his almond-shaped eyes were completely devoid of their usual kindness.

  "Since you're looking for death, I'll send you down to accompany her!" With a surge of dark spiritual energy, Liang Ke thought only of sending all those who were unfavorable to her to the underworld, but she ignored the slight abnormality on her spiritual foundation. The light spiritual energy that Chong Yao had previously input had already been completely absorbed.

  "Endless!" The dark fog took on a human form and charged towards the black crow with a roar.

  The dark energy formed by the dark system collided with the barrier built by the earth system, and with a loud crash, the dark shadow instantly turned into nothingness, slowly eroding the opponent's earth energy. The original yellowish-brown barrier was gradually covered in black until it disappeared.

  He struggled free from the dark spiritual energy, looking at his injured arm, Hei Ya's face looked even more unsightly. Unfortunately, Qing Kuang didn't give him much time, the wood spiritual energy bound his body, and the endless dark spiritual energy crawled along that "tree vine" again, a pained cry sounded out, Hei Ya's face was twisted in agony.

  "I'm going to kill you... Kill you! You wicked woman..."

  Those who have fallen into madness are not rational at all, and as the black crow is about to self-destruct, everyone stays far away, fearing being implicated. The self-destruction of a Tianxuan realm strongman is naturally not something that can be underestimated.

  With a cold hum, Lin Xuan directly controlled the dagger to pin the person to the ground, quickly retreating, and the red robe fluttered, instantly arriving at the top position. Since someone was seeking death, she would naturally fulfill their wish. Taking out the large earth crystal core, Lin Xuan used wood spiritual power to fix it in place, setting up a "guard" array in mid-air, and with the addition of the demonic tribe's spell, it could be said that it was as solid as gold soup.

  "Die, die, die! Let them all die!" He crippled his right foot and endured the intense pain as a black crow soared into the sky. All of his earth-based spiritual energy converged on his body, forming a yellowish-brown sphere. Even if he died, he would drag him down with him! For Qing Er, he betrayed his lord, betrayed his sect, and betrayed his brothers. What face did he have left to live in this world? Let those wicked people go to hell with him!

  The spiritual energy in the air twisted for an instant, until that yellowish-brown figure couldn't open his eyes. The entire front hall only transmitted a loud noise, and the ground shook violently, causing the natural chaos to end with no survivors. Countless pillars were knocked down, but before the smoke cleared, the crowd had already begun to fight together. Taking advantage of this momentary chaos, Chong Yao directly gave the order, all Chongmen people united against the outside, exerting their strength to kill the invaders. Hua Ji and Hong Zhi had been holding back a belly full of anger, and their hands were even more ruthless than before.

  The sudden sound of the Xiao flute came, but the people in the hall were not as bewildered as they had been before. Instead, they covered their heads and wailed in pain, clearly suffering greatly. To make matters worse, petals began to fall from the sky, sharper than knives, mixed with the power of the Wooden Spirit, cutting away at people's flesh.

  One clear road, the group of people all went to Chong Yao's attack, and the five Buddha realms of Tian Xuan added up to Wen Ren Wu Di, which was a joint attack on Qing Kuang. Seeing the spiritual power of various systems coming, Qing Kuang couldn't help but sneer, can the magic tribe's things be easily broken through?

  Suddenly, the grand hall was filled with cries of pain and death, as people from the Chongmen Sect fell to the ground. A strong medicinal scent wafted through the air, and Wei Yan, who had been called by Chong You, stood in the corner with a satisfied smile. The people who followed him seemed unaffected. Ha! Secretly poisoning others, this is what they call a prestigious sect, a righteous hero!

  The dagger flew up, coincidentally aiming at Wei Ran's neck. With a "ding" sound, it hit a shield instead. Wei Ran, who was originally smiling triumphantly, couldn't smile anymore. He patted his chest with a worried expression and stared fiercely in the direction of Suo Xin. When the dagger flew again, Wei Ran's wrist guard transformed into a shield once more, blocking the attack. The silver shield had countless crystal nuclei embedded on its edge, arranged in the order of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth from outside to inside. The rectangular shield was one meter high and half a meter wide, perfectly protecting Wei Ran within it.

  Since the day he refined his dagger, he had always been invincible. The dagger that contained the blood of a madman was not something that ordinary objects could compare to. With each collision, even the air shook. A faint sound, and Wei Ran's face changed in an instant. That was his Xian-grade fantasy device, exchanged for countless elixirs! And yet it was easily broken by a broken dagger? As if responding to his thoughts, the countless crystal cores shattered into dust, unable to be reassembled.

  As the dagger broke through the defensive line, in an instant, Qing Kuang flew out of the protective array, dodged the attacks of the people around her with a swift flip, and caught the dagger that had slit Wei Ran's throat. The entire movement was as smooth as flowing clouds, done in one breath. The girl stood there, majestic and refreshing, making it impossible for anyone to underestimate her.

  "Hua Ji, antidote!" Picking up Wei Ran's space ring, he rummaged through it for a moment before taking out a small vial and tossing it to her along with one of his own small porcelain bottles.

  Playing with poison! Using someone's method against them, she has always been very skilled at it.

  Looking at the familiar faces around him, he gazed at them with a mixture of disdain and scorn, saying, "You five are Buddhist disciples, and you're also a renowned general of a nation. Don't tell me you don't even have this bit of sympathy? They were born to parents just like everyone else; do they deserve to die such a miserable death?"

  Six people were stunned, but just as they were stunned, the light suddenly ignited a strand of fragrant soul-grass, which, combined with the large fire, had a more intense fragrance as the temperature rose. Those who had previously killed their eyes now fell to the ground one after another, perfectly reversing the previous situation.

  "Are you poisoning?" Wen Ren Wudi loudly questioned, and immediately covered his mouth with his hand, angrily staring at Qingkuang. Those five Buddha Fate Mountain Tianxuan realm also looked at her disapprovingly.

  "What? You can poison, but I cannot?"

  "Hum! As expected, it's an evil and crooked way, despicable and shameless!"

  "You mean that when your people die it's a pity, but when we die it's what we deserve?" He paced back and forth, carelessly holding the dagger, with a hint of a smile as he looked at the people around him.

  "Hmph! You're overdoing it!" A wave of pain washed over him, as if something was about to dissipate from his body. Wen Renwu had been using all his spiritual energy to resist, but in just a few sentences, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground with a thud.

  "You fart!" Hua Ji distributed the medicine given by Qing Kuang, and as soon as she heard this, how could she allow it? One flew up front, and a big slap immediately greeted Wen Renwu's face. "I'll kill you now, so are you also dying with resentment!"

  "Hmph! General Ben died as he should!" He had lived his whole life for the benefit of the people, and now he died because of beheading the demon king, he felt glorious! Besides, Wen Wudi had fought countless battles on the battlefield in this life, and won numerous victories, how could he not have a trump card?

  "Humph! You want to die in peace, but you still have to ask if Madam agrees or not!" Another slap was slapped over, Wen Renwu's face turned cold as he glared at Duji, probably this lifetime he had never tried being hit twice by the same woman.

  "Poisonous Lady, count the casualties." Interrupting Poisonous Lady's words, Chong Yao looked at the rows of corpses in the entire grand hall, with blood flowing like rivers, and naturally his mood was not good.

  However, just as everyone thought it was calm and peaceful, a sudden change occurred. The five divine mirrors of Foyuan Mountain were not affected by the poison at all, and they made their move again, forcing Qingkuang to retreat.

  "Hand over the antidote!"

  "Hmph, one mouthful of sesame seeds and another mouthful of laxatives, you really think you're some kind of treasures? What's the basis for these five people to be so arrogant, chasing after them wanting this and that? What's wrong with the Five Systems? Are the Five Systems not good enough?"

  Looking around at the five people, Qingkuang lightly drew all the spiritual energy of the Five Elements onto his hands, just like the Taiji Bagua diagram, mixing the spiritual energy of the Five Elements together. As the spiritual energy ball grew bigger and bigger, the five people also became more vigilant, after all, this girl had escaped from their hands once before, they couldn't be careless.

  "The beginning of the Five Elements!"

  It was like a colorful firework that suddenly appeared, with Qingkuang at its center. The huge five-element spiritual power ball was held high above her head, and then instantly smashed down. Five spiritual powers flew out in all directions, each targeting one of the five Tianxuan realm cultivators. The massive output of spiritual power made Qingkuang's face pale, but how could she admit defeat in this battle!

  When the five elemental forces were all used, the survivors, including Huā Jī, Hóng Zhī, and even Wén Rén Wú Dé, were all agape with incredulity. This was the first time in their lives that they had seen a cultivator who could use all five elements, no, wait, there was also the dark element, making him a six-element cultivator! This was simply unbelievable! How could anyone hope to win against such a person? As the five elemental energy spheres exploded, everyone's eyes were wide with amazement, but Wén Rén Wú Dé was not among them. Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused elsewhere, a signal flare shot into the sky, and Huā Jī, who was closest to him, slapped another palm past him, rushing to tend to the injured people in the Chóng Mén.

  But on this side, seeing the struggling Qingkuang, Chongyao also went to help at the first time. The five Tianxuan realms were dispersed, and their strength was greatly discounted, so Qingkuang could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, what followed was only bitter laughter. In today's battle, the dark spiritual power that was previously suppressed erupted again, and the previous light spiritual power was completely consumed. The black air all over his body reignited, even more powerful than before. The bloody smell on the scene stimulated him, almost making Qingkuang lose control of himself.

  "Hey, what's wrong with you, done it again?" As soon as he sensed something was off, Chong Yao saw the black aura all over him and knew things had gone bad!

  "White flag, come out!" Chong Yao usually rarely used his contract beast because he always believed that asking others for help was not as good as relying on oneself. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not resort to external forces. From this point of view, the two were so similar.

  A loud roar echoed, and a gigantic white python suddenly appeared in the grand hall. Its fat body was curled up due to its enormous size, and its scales were still shining brightly. A small red dot on its forehead was a symbol of its identity. Under the reflection of its white body, a pair of red pupils made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies at just one glance.

  "Master." Bai Qi spat out a sunflower seed, and Hong Tong stared at Chong Yao like that. The master hadn't let her out to play for a long time.

  "Take care of those five people!" As soon as he finished giving the order, Chong Yao carefully approached like a gentle breeze.

  "Master, can we eat them?" Red pupils glared at the five Tianxuan realm cultivators, and Bai Qi's breath came out even faster, his body slowly moving.

  "Whatever." Looking at the person in front of him who was deeply wary, Chong Yao dodged an attack and pulled the light system's spiritual power into his hand, approaching again.

  "Kill... kill..." The dark spiritual energy in his body ran amok, leaving only a murderous intent in Qing Kuang's heart. When he sensed that there was spiritual energy approaching him, his instincts made him want to start counterattacking.

  "It's me, I'm here to help you..." Crouching beside the lightly wounded girl, Chong Yao covered her spiritual foundation with his light-based spiritual power, careful not to hurt her further.

  "Revere... revere the demon?" It wasn't easy to calm down, but finally, he managed to call out in a low voice.

  "Ah, it's me, don't worry, don't be afraid...". The spiritual energy was all drawn into his hands and infused into Qing Kuang's spiritual foundation. Chong Yao gently comforted him, but the familiar words made Qing Kuang a bit dazed.

  "Say it again, okay?" The soft and gentle words were a vulnerability he had never shown before.

  "Huh? What was that again......" Looking at the person in front of him with a puzzled expression, Chong Yao carefully thought back to what he had just said, and only then did he react. "Oh, I said you'll be fine, don't be afraid, I'm here! Just wait a bit and the light system spiritual energy will enter your spiritual foundation, and your body will stabilize, don't be afraid~" However, this time was different from what Chong Yao had expected, and even as his cold sweat dripped down, the black aura surrounding him still didn't show any signs of dissipating.

  At this critical moment, the hall was unexpectedly quiet, like a calm before a storm. When a beast's roar echoed through the sky, Wen Renwu, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly looked delighted and became very excited.

  Innumerable birds and beasts all descended, a line of three thousand people filled the place in front of the Chongmen Gate. The leading man, also wearing armor, respectfully walked to the front of Wen Renyu and saluted, "General! I'm late, please punish me!"

  "It doesn't matter, just being here is good enough!" After being supported by others, Wen Renyu looked at his subordinate Wei Chi Jing with great satisfaction. When he turned to look inside the hall again, especially at Qing Kuang, Chong Yao, and particularly Hua Ji, a ruthless smile appeared on his face, "Kill them all, not one will be spared!"

  "Yes, I will follow orders!" Wei Chi Jing answered loudly, and then walked towards the three thousand men, directing the soldiers to take action.

  So this is Wen Ren's ultimate move! The previous fight was just a small disturbance, now it's really time for the final battle!
