Chapter 372: Right to Exact Revenge and Counterattack
Editor: Atlas Studios
“Offer that lotus platform and I’ll spare your life.”
Wu Fan looked at the blood-colored lotus platform and felt that it matched his aura very well.
He asked the Divine Statue clone on the lotus platform to hand over the Karma Cleansing Lotus.
Right now, the higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance were surrounded by the 33 Soul Formation cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect and were relying on the phantom of the lotus platform to temporarily resist.
From the looks of it, although the Karma Cleansing Lotus was strong, it could not last long.
If the accumulated damage could not be transferred out, sooner or later, he would not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, Wu Fan was confident to say this.
In his opinion, he had given that person a chance to live.
He was only looking at this Earth-rank demonic treasure that specialized in slaughter and blood, which was compatible with his attributes. He did not want to destroy the demonic artifact with brute force, so he personally came out and gave him a chance.
However, the people inside the lotus were unwilling to comply.
“The lotus platform is here. Why don’t you come and take it yourself, Sect Master Wu?”
How could the statue clone controlled by Jiang Li believe such words?
Taking advantage of Wu Fan’s approach, the lotus flower phantom suddenly swelled up, wanting to envelop the other party.
If he enveloped the other party in the lotus flower and fought more than ten people at once, with the power of the Karma Cleansing Lotus, he might have a slight chance.
However, Wu Fan only touched the hilt of the blood saber and a terrifying saber light that connected heaven and earth repelled the swelling lotus shadow.
The saber light even pushed the phantom back, sending the entire lotus flower phantom flying.
After leaving the ground, the lotus flower phantom turned into rootless duckweed. Not only was there an additional crack that almost cut the lotus flower phantom into two, but its defense was also greatly reduced.
Then, 33 saber lights flew over, forming a saber light tornado that completely shattered the lotus shadow.
The higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance were all injured by the saber light. The lotus shadow blocked most of the damage before barely managing to charge out.
However, fleeing was more important. By the time they scattered and flew out, they could no longer reunite. There were even more Soul Formation cultivators from the Myriad Slaughter Sect on the other side, surrounding and blocking them.
Among them, the strongest, Shenshan Jianyi, was even targeted. He was surrounded by five Blood Saber Soul Formation cultivators. They even took out dirty things that specialized in dirtying artifacts and were prepared to ruthlessly attack his Ancient Dust Sword.
Coupled with the Myriad Slaughter Sect Master, Wu Fan, who was standing with his saber, the higher-ups of the Great Mountain Region were even more powerless to escape.
In fact, as long as he slashed out with his saber, the situation would basically be precarious for the Great Mountain Alliance, who were surrounded and attacked.
Inside the Misty Mountain Range.
“Do you still want to continue watching like this!”
“Charge out with me! Live and die with Senior Brother Valley Master!”
After obtaining the Blood Fiend Divine Art, Elder He, the Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, who had already reached the edge of breaking through, could no longer hide in the fog and watch.
Jiang Li’s master, who was called a brute, was the first to step out. Everyone from the Demon Vanquishing Hall followed closely behind, and then all the disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley who were gathered here left in full strength.
They had been suppressing their anger for too long. Even if they died, they had to brandish the artifacts in their hands and drag one or two of them to their deaths with the Valley Master.
“Are there any people from the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak who are afraid of death?”
“Senior and junior brothers! Remove the demons and defend righteousness!”
The temperament of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak was also unyielding. None of them were cowards who could abandon their fellow disciples and seek survival alone.
They were originally bound by the words ‘consider the overall situation’. They pressed down on the flying sword in their hands and could not pull it out for a long time.
Now that they were led by Elder He, this brute, how could they still stand on the spot indifferently?
One by one, they rode their swords. Due to their extremely fast speed, they surpassed everyone in the Scripture Storage Valley.
Then, the Benevolent Travel Temple was unwilling to fall behind. They tore off their monk robes and revealed a burly body that seemed to be dyed in golden paint. They led the disciples of the Great Mountain Alliance to attack together.
Of course, they were not rushing to the Soul Formation battlefield to seek death. The high-intensity aftershock was enough to make them die without knowing why.
Under Elder He’s lead, they rushed towards the fleet in the sky.
Through attacking the fleet, even if they could drag back one or two enemy Soul Formation cultivators, it would greatly reduce the pressure on the top battlefield.
Countless cultivators of the Great Mountain Alliance flew into the sky, causing Wu Fan to glance sideways.
“Interesting, the cultivators of the Great Mountain Region are quite bold. I wonder how your fate is.”
He pressed down on the blood saber at his waist again.
The Myriad Slaughter Sect Master had a hobby. He loved to watch these low-level cultivators struggle at the edge of life and death before personally extinguishing their courage and hope.
With this slash, how many of those brave fellows in the sky would survive?
The trajectory of the Earth-rank blood saber could not be seen at all. A blood-colored saber light flew out from below and continuously swelled in the air. Moreover, it transformed into a myriad of blades that intended to resist the young talents of the Great Mountain Region and capture them in one go.
“Wind!”
However, at this moment, a rough voice sounded like a violent wind in the valley.
A mountain in the Misty Mountain Range exploded. A giant with a dragon head and bull ears stood up from the collapsed mountain.
He waved his hand and condensed a tornado mace. The tornado mace swept through the fog in the mountain before sweeping over and colliding with Wu Fan’s huge saber light.
The tornado mace canceled out the thousand feet saber light.
This ancient remnant race that had been sleeping for countless years had inherited the power of the ancient Wind Protection Clan.
The invincible power of mountains and valleys was suppressed by the violent wind between heaven and earth.
Back then, it was thanks to this tornado that he was able to successfully close the spatial crack on the Hundred Tempering Mountain.
Previously, according to the agreement, Jiang Li had found a place with rich earth veins to sleep. In the beginning, he had asked him to stay near the Scripture Storage Valley. Later on, after the headquarters of the Great Mountain Alliance was built, he was moved to this Misty Mountain Range.
It was not for anything else, but to let this honest giant preside over this place.
The Wind Protection Giant’s strength was roughly equivalent to the Holy Spirit Snake in the Rock Mountain Range. It was enough to fight head-on with the Myriad Slaughter Sect Master and was the only existence that could temporarily stop Wu Fan.
However, this giant was not controlled by the Great Mountain Alliance. Without Jiang Li around, it was even harder to communicate with him.
It was already fortunate for the Great Mountain Region that the Wind Protection Giant could attack in time.
Wu Fan looked at the huge Wind Protection Giant that was like a mountain. The blood saber left his body and two blood-colored figures appeared beside him, revealing a cruel smile.
His figure flew to the height of the giant’s single eye. He raised his hand and slashed out hundreds of blood sabers that distorted space, colliding with the wind that gathered from all directions.
The commotion caused by these two battles surpassed the entire battlefield.
However, after obtaining the Blood King Crown, Wu Fan’s strength was even greater than before. It was not so easy to stop him.
Thus, the two sides fought against each other. The lower disciples fought beneath, while the top forces faced one another above, starting a comprehensive war in the battlefield.
However, in the battlefield, the Great Mountain Alliance was at an absolute disadvantage.
Blood splattered on the spot every moment.
Elder He led the Demon Vanquishing Hall to the front line with the disciples under him. However, in such a difficult battle, even Jiang Li’s fellow disciples had already died.
Their desperate battle had some effect.
The two Soul Formation cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect were attracted back from the other battlefield.
However, with their participation, the battle here fell into a one-sided slaughter.
“Beast Diagram Mad Blood! Blood Fiend Divine Art!”
Elder He ignored the injuries on his body and erupted with the beast blood tattoo on his body again. He and a group of Nascent Soul cultivators risked their lives to charge forward and block the two Soul Formation cultivators.
With the blood essence that he had accumulated over many years, he could unleash the beast tattoo with all his might. Even his dragon blood had been thrown in. Coupled with the might of the Blood Fiend Divine Art, the limit of his strength had already faintly crossed that boundary.
If he could survive this battle, breaking through to the Soul Formation realm would be inevitable.
However, under such circumstances, surviving was extremely difficult.
On the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, five Nascent Souls formed a sword formation and barely blocked one. Elder He could only block the other one himself.
He was about to break through, but in the end, he had not broken through yet. He used his fists to receive ten saber strikes in a row. After ten saber strikes, he was finally unable to parry them. In the end, he was still struck on the body, scattering his blood qi.
The twelfth blood saber slashed horizontally. In just an instant, it would behead him.
In the moment of facing death, Elder He’s mood was calm. He already had the best disciple to inherit his legacy.
In fact, Jiang Li should have surpassed him by now.
However, right when the blade light flashed before his eyes, a ray of light suddenly fell from the sky. A palm stretched out from the light and caught the fatal blood blade.
That person wore a Black Scale Armor in his hand and wore the Great Mountain Embroidered Robe. There was a pitch-black chain hanging on his waist.
That back view was extremely familiar to Elder He.
“Master, I was late!”
The person who grabbed the Soul Formation Blood Saber was none other than the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, Jiang Li.
The blood saber in his hand creaked as it was grabbed. The Myriad Slaughter Sect’s Soul Formation cultivator wanted to continue pushing the blood saber forward and cut off Jiang Li’s palm, but his blade could not break through the Ancient Emperor’s Black Scale Armor.
He wanted to draw the saber and retreat, but he was shocked to discover that he could not do so either.
Jiang Li’s strength could originally suppress the Armored Trolls that were equivalent to human Soul Formation cultivators.
After obtaining the remnant soul of one of the ancient Nine Sons of the Ancestral Dragon, Ba Xia, who was famous for his strength, it was even more so.
If they wanted to take the saber from his hand, they had to be a body cultivation Soul Formation expert.
Jiang Li held the blood saber in his right hand, and a purplish-red energy ball appeared in the palm of his left hand. He pushed it forward and pressed it on the other party’s stomach.
The purple-red energy ball suddenly swelled, instantly becoming 30 feet in diameter.
The Soul Formation cultivator of the Myriad Slaughter Sect could no longer grab his blood saber and was sent flying by the huge blood ball.
The destructive fusion energy ball smashed into a flying ship with such a Soul Formation cultivator on it. Then, the energy completely erupted, enveloping the two flying ships beside it and completely destroying them.
“Everyone! Stop!”
Jiang Li casually shook off the blood saber in his hand, and his shout spread throughout the battlefield.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling seven-colored light suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then, a huge palace made of clouds pressed down on everyone’s heads.
It was as if a true immortal palace had descended. Endless might poured down, causing the battlefield to quickly fall silent. Even the craziest Blood Saber Guards were unable to move at all under the pressure.
Everyone could sense that an extremely powerful existence was looking down at them from the palace.
Wherever that gaze landed, cultivators would be as cold as cicadas and not dare to move.
Even the Soul Formation realm battlefield was the same.
The only ones who could resist the pressure of the White Cloud Palace were the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s Sect Master, Wu Fan, and the Wind Protection Giant.
Therefore, two more rays of light descended and enveloped them. Wu Fan could not even break them with several saber strikes.
Looking up, he discovered the white cloud palace that was pressed horizontally in the air.
“Cloud Manor!”
He frowned tightly. The faction represented by this cloud palace was not something their Myriad Slaughter Sect could afford to provoke.
Under the pressure of the Cloud Manor, the war finally stopped.
All the heavily injured cultivators of the Great Mountain Alliance immediately gathered together. They took medicine and treated their injuries. The injured people on the ground looked extremely miserable.
If the battle continued, not many of the Great Mountain Alliance cultivators here would be able to escape.
Now, the fate of the Great Mountain Region was tied to one person.
Everyone opened their eyes and looked at the young Alliance Leader Jiang Li who stood in midair.
This Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance was young and his cultivation was shallow. At the beginning, it was quite controversial.
However, in the following days, this young man quickly proved himself. Every time he made a choice, he would bring great benefits to the Great Mountain Region.
Moreover, his talent was overflowing, and his strength rose rapidly like a rocket. If they were not wrong, Jiang Li seemed to have sent a Soul Formation cultivator of the Myriad Slaughter Sect flying in a single exchange.
With such an improvement speed, even if the Great Mountain Region was destroyed, he would definitely be able to avenge them.
This time, Jiang Li had returned in danger and stopped the battlefield with a single sentence. It was unknown if he could bring another miracle to the Great Mountain Region.
“I wonder which esteemed lord from the Cloud Manor has come. My Myriad Slaughter Sect should not have offended your Cloud Manor.”
“The Myriad Slaughter Sect has already acknowledged the punishment of the Rock Mountain Range. We have fought a bloody battle with the Trolls for many years in the Eastern Region. Even the Cloud Manor has no right to interfere with the internal affairs of our sect.”
Being trapped in the light, Wu Fan was neither servile nor overbearing as he spoke to the white cloud palace above.
“From today onwards, the Great Mountain Alliance is already a member of our Divine Judgment Hall and is protected by the Divine Judgment Alliance.”
“Low-grade Divine Judgment Faction, Myriad Slaughter Sect, immediately stop all hostilities against the Great Mountain Region and retreat. You are not allowed to step into this region without permission!”
In the Cloud Manor, a cold female voice resounded through the sky.
Many higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance were overjoyed when they heard this. Jiang Li had actually gathered enough merit points in ten days to join the Divine Judgment Hall. He even convinced the Cloud Manor to come and mediate.
After becoming a member of the Divine Judgment Hall, they would enjoy the protection of the Divine Judgment Hall. The cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region would be considered safe.
“Where are the cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range?”
After hearing this, Wu Fan’s expression turned pitch-black. The Blood King Crown on his head urged him to slaughter everyone at all times.
Now, it seemed that he had to change places.
However, the voices in the white cloud palace did not stop.
The heavily injured Huyan Long’an heard the shout from the clouds. With the help of a female cultivator, he flew into the sky and bowed.
“Is the Rock Mountain Range willing to join the Great Mountain Alliance?”
This was an additional small request from Jiang Li. Now, he was the favorite of the Cloud Manor, one of the three divine pillars. Such a small request would not be rejected.
Huyan Long’an was stunned. After he exchanged glances with Jiang Li, he immediately understood some things and hurriedly spoke.
“I am Huyan Long’an. I am willing to represent the remnant of the cultivation world of the Rock Mountain Range to join the Great Mountain Alliance.”
“Low-grade Divine Judgment Faction, Great Mountain Alliance, encountered an attack by the low-grade sect, the Myriad Slaughter Sect, for no reason, causing severe losses. You can enjoy the right to take revenge and counterattack for the duration of ten years.”
“The Myriad Slaughter Sect is ordered to repay the plundered loot and pay the reconstruction compensation within three months!”
A Divine Judgment Hall faction could at most be fused by three forces.
After Jiang Li joined the Divine Judgment Hall, he even pulled in the last cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range.
Apart from being loyal to his allies, it was also for the right to take revenge.
Under the circumstances that the Cloud Manor deliberately sided with them, this authority meant that in the next ten years, the Great Mountain Alliance could ignore the rule that the members of the Divine Judgment Hall could not attack each other and take revenge on the Myriad Slaughter Sect at any time.
However, the Myriad Slaughter Sect could not enter the Great Mountain Region to attack them.
Ten years was enough.
