Chapter 516: Eradicate Seven Branches Part 1
516 Eradicate Seven Branches Part 1
"Kill them all!"
The spirits took up their weapons, starting to kill the rest.
In front of the shock, the enemies somehow managed to react, releasing their energy to warn the others. However, the spirits were too strong, cutting a few people down in an instant.
He could make a small Special realm, blocking all the Spiritual Energy from alerting those people, but chose not to. Instead of making a small one, he created a bigger Special Realm, locking the entire brothel down.
Sound Insulation Array was even added in this barrier, buying time before the people outside realized what was going on. The Special Realm itself was adjusted to barely cover the house as to make it not as obvious.
"Die!"
Alex glanced to the side, finding a foolish peak Martial King who charged at him. He slashed his sword downwards, using his domain to sharpen it.
"..." The Martial King managed to stop his strike, albeit barely. This happened due to Alex maintaining the barrier with his power.
A light started glowing, wrapping the sword in blue. His soul stomped the ground, taking all the energy around his body before channeling it to his hand.
Alex pressed his sword and sliced the Martial King apart along with his sword.
"Heaven Light Slash."
As he expected, it would seem that the Heaven Light Slash was far more powerful than Heaven Breaking Sword. If this was his previous sword art, the best he could do was blowing him away.
There was half of them left in this hall, but the reinforcement had arrived.
"Who are you? How dare you attack this place! Don"t you know we are the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect and this place is the sect"s branch?" The guy roared, narrowing his eyes to this masked group.
Alex did not utter a single word, slamming his sword to the ground.
"Blade of Conquest."
The swing unleashed a powerful shockwave, striking the one who shouted earlier.
"!!!"
The man took out his spear, thrusting the spear in order to break the attack.
"One of you informs the others, including the Elder. The rest will stop these people!" He shouted.
They began to move closer to Alex while Anna and Greg appeared, protecting Alex.
And at this time, something unexpected happened. The person, who took Alex"s attack from head-on, died.
The clash between his spear and his sword attack took a few seconds before his attack managed to shatter the spear, killing him in a single sweep.
"!!!" The disciples shouted as hard as possible, trying to make the people inside or outside to notice. Unfortunately, only the people inside could hear these screams.
Alex spotted their strongest person, coming at him with breakneck speed. "Jeanne."
"Understood." Jeanne, who was clas.h.i.+ng with her opponent, decided to blow her enemy away and appeared in front of Alex.
She found a blue-haired female with an extraordinary aura. Both of them swung their weapons at the same time, creating a small shockwave that shattered the windows.
Outside, two patrolling guards halted their steps, looking at each other with confused expressions.
"Do you hear anything?"
"No. but I feel there is something different…"
"What is the difference?"
"I don"t know." He shook his head, recalling one certain matter. "Still… I can"t wait when I finish this job. I have saved enough money to get the woman in the Joyful Union Brothel."
"Ahaha… you are certainly right. Even though it is expensive, their service is top-notch. I hear if you have compatibility with your partner, you can increase your cultivation while doing it."
"That"s right. Ah… I wish I can have a go with Miss Luna."
"You idiot. She is the master of this place, so how can she have time for a person like you. The city lord is the one who has this privilege." He snorted.
"Right. I wish I had enough talent to become a powerful person and enjoy all the beauties in the world." He laughed before looking at the brothel. "Still, brothel, huh…"
"!!!" He suddenly noticed something wrong with the brothel. He had been working in this place for a few years, but he had yet to see a dent in the gla.s.s, let alone shattered windows. "This… Is there something happening inside the brothel?"
"What do you mean?" The other guard looked at him like a fool, turning his head toward the brothel. He dropped his jaw after finding shattered windows. "This…"
"We need to report to the city lord."
"No… I will report to the city lord while you try to find what is going on."
"Alright."
They started doing their own jobs.
Meanwhile, Jeanne was fighting with the strongest person.
"You… who are you!" She could only utter the same question as the others. Not only did she not know Alex"s group, but she was also utterly shocked by the sight of a little kid being an 8-Star Martial Emperor. Jeanne might cover her face, but her stature could easily be misunderstood. And this precisely the reason why Alex chose Jeanne as his sword. He wanted to confuse his opponent, catching her off guard.
Unfortunately, even with that preparation, an Elder Rank from a first-rate influence was better than your average guy. Even with the difference of two stars, she could barely stop her.
"We need to request the city lord for help." She shouted, looking at Alex"s group killing the disciples one by one.
She clapped her hand, channeling her energy to the ground.
"Great Mountain Spike!"
"!!!" Alex looked down, noticing the movement of Spiritual Energy. Even with Jeanne taking care of her, she still tried to attack the Alex. He leaped backward a few meters, looking at the ground rising and turning into a huge spike that destroyed the hall.
He channeled more of his Spiritual Energy to maintain the barrier.
"Array Master." She finally realized why a 1-Star Martial Emperor could order an 8-Star Martial Emperor. It would seem that Alex"s background was big. "For what reason you attack us? We have not offended any Array Master."
"You haven"t? That"s one of the best jokes I heard these days." Alex shrugged, signaling Jeanne to continue.
"How about we talk about this first? I am sure there is a misunderstanding between us." The blue-haired leader still tried to persuade him.
"There is nothing to discuss." Alex shook her head. "Kill her before the city lord notices."
"Understood." Jeanne nodded.
The blue-haired person"s expression darkened, ordering other disciples. "All disciples. Use all of your power and tear this place down as to make the people outside notice us. It seems beside the barrier, he also makes a Sound Insulation Array."
"Yes." They nodded, starting to use a bigger move.
Alex and the others were not idiots. They quickly struck those who used a big move, not letting them inform anyone, but…
"Boom Boom Boom!"
Even though forty people had died, there were still around sixty people left, creating big moves at the same time. It was impossible for Alex and the others to stop all of them. And this happened when they were together, making Alex think about what would happen if they separated their force.
Although no sound alarmed pa.s.sed his barrier, the people outside could see the brothel crumble.
"Look!"
"The Joyful Union Brothel has…"
"Collapsed!"
"What?"
"Is there someone that dares to pick a fight against the Joyful Union Sect?"
The confusion spread, creating a ruckus outside the brothel. Alex"s barrier somehow stopped them from breaking in. They might be happy with the service of the brothel. Still, if someone dared to destroy a Joyful Union Brothel, they would certainly dare to fight the Joyful Union Sect. For someone like that, people like them were like ants.
Alex confirmed no civilian would help with his Spirit Eyes, leaving only the city lord.
"No need to hold back anymore. Kill them all!" He ordered before looking at Stina. "I will open the barrier for you, Kyle and Sherry. Stop the city lord and soldiers or even all the others that are going to help. If necessary, you may kill them."
"Understood." Stina nodded, releasing her 8-Star Martial Emperor Strength.
"Another 8-Star…" The blue-haired leader was startled, seeing another 8-Star. It already took her all just to stop Jeanne and if that person attacked her, she would die in a few minutes. "City Lord, you must come immediately."
She had been enticing the city lord, a 7-Star Martial Emperor, to control the city. If the city lord had come, though she could not kill these people, she would still be able to escape. At that time, she could return to the sect and destroy these people.
"Jeanne." Alex simply called her name to make Jeanne serious.
"Yes." The lightning started sparking around her body, shattering the ground around her. She pointed her short sword toward the blue-haired leader and disappeared.
"!!!" The blue-haired girl immediately turned around, striking a shadow on her back.
"Joyful Slas.h.!.+"
"Lightning Grinder."
The clash created a crater on the ground. Jeanne completed the strike, channeling her lightning to the ground.
On the other hand, her opponent took out a pill and shattered it, creating a pink smoke. Jeanne quickly leaped back, avoiding the smoke.
Alex sensed an aura within this smoke, recognizing it as dangerous. Fire started covering his hand before moving toward the pink smoke.
"Fire Wave Emission."
He controlled this versatile technique, wrapping the pink smoke completely. Although only his Pure Fire had a purifying effect, Phoenix Fire was enough to burn all the smoke before anyone got infected. In the worst case, he could reveal his Pure Fire for a few seconds or call Anya to this place.
His Spirit Eyes were telling him the position of it no matter how small it was and it had yet to go inside any of his teammates. After checking their condition, he slowly met his way toward the rest of the enemies.
Their attack power was quite surprising, considering they came from R-18 Sect. At the very least, they did not go down just like when fighting a Martial Lord. They were much harder and tenacious, making him surprised.
It might be a normal occurrence for the spirits, but for him, who had been living comfortably in the previous world. It made him rethink his decision as he felt he was overconfident before, thinking he could finish it with two fronts.
He was wondering whether he could destroy one hundred thousand people like on the Willow Continent. His group had yet to release their True Spirit Body though.
There were only thirty people left in the brothel, including their leader. She was covered with blood, looking very unwilling.
"Thunder Spear!" Jeanne raised her hand, shooting up a bolt of lightning in the form of a spear.
"Swallowing Slash." She slashed downward, breaking the thunder spear. Little did she know Jeanne"s real attack came right after.
"!!!" As soon as the spear was destroyed, it created a smokescreen, using it to get close to her.
"Swallowing Slash." The leader swung her sword again, stopping Jeanne on her track.
Jeanne did not have any choice other than taking this attack head-on or so what she thought. The moment their weapons collided, she let go of her two swords, going around and placed her hands on the leader"s neck.
"Sh*t." She tried to leap forward, escaping from Jeanne"s grasp but was too late.
"Lightning Subjugation," Jeanne smirked as she channeled the lightning energy, electrocuting her from the inside.
"AAAHHHH!" The shock ran through her brain and heart, roasting her from the inside.
Jeanne just used her torturing technique. The pain itself should be endurable and even Alex might immediately turn around and strike at her. Sadly, the leader had been accustomed to pleasure, making her vulnerable to this kind of technique.
"Even though you are like this, it would seem you are not into Su0026M play." She snorted.
The leader went unconscious for a split second, giving Jeanne precious time to kill her.
A sound of trumpet stopped her, making all of them look upward.
The city lord had come.
