Chapter 1102 - I"ll Give You an Explanation in the Future
"Get lost!" a general from the Dragon Human army roared.
When the leader of the White-robed Divine Guards, Tang Chong saw what had happened, he was also enraged. These foreign race experts were completely shameless in their attempt to profit from this battle. "Whoever dares to enter the sect gate today will become an enemy of the Human Race headquarters. Please leave immediately and refrain from committing this grave mistake."
Several experts hesitated.
The large majority of them were not deterred but instead charged forward and said, "We"re here to help."
"Exactly, there"s great enmity between the Four Stars Sect and ourselves, so we"re here to seek revenge today. These are the unspoken rules of the martial world, so you can"t stop us."
"That"s right. The Four Stars Sect killed my father, so I have to avenge his death."
Many experts had found excuses and frantically swarmed toward the Four Stars Sect"s sect gate, heedless of the warnings from the Dragon Human Race and the White-robed Divine Guards.
Many of these experts from the foreign race were overcome with greed for the treasures that could be found within the Four Stars Sect.
The Dragon Human Race and the White-robed Divine Guards attempted to stop them, but they were helpless against the crowd.
The battlefield soon descended into a state of chaos.
"How despicable!" the haughty young man Lu Wei trembled in rage. He was still rather inexperienced when it came to the ways of the world and had never encountered such a situation before.
The successor of the White Jade Capital"s eyes also flashed with anger under her veil.
These experts of the foreign races had gone too far. They were clearly making up lies to try to get their hands on a piece of the pie at the last moment.
These experts had decided that the potential benefits they stood to gain far outweighed the risks they were facing.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Those who are not part of the Dragon Human Race army or the White-robed Divine Guards but insist on barging into the Four Stars Sect"s sect gate shall be killed without pardon!" Ye Qingyu said coldly as he stood in front of the divine temple floating in the distance.
His voice did not contain any power of laws nor any authoritative force but those experts who l.u.s.ted after the treasures within the Four Stars Sect immediately froze mid-air and did not dare to take another step forward. Their expressions were very uneasy because they could ignore the warnings of the Dragon Human army and the White-robed Divine Guards, but no one dared to defy the young man in white.
If he said that he would show no mercy, then they would all be dead.
Even Quasi-emperors were not spared from his sword, to say nothing of experts like themselves.
They were still hoping that the lofty [Ice Sword Killing G.o.d] would close an eye to such matters.
They were clearly mistaken.
Several experts retreated and immediately fled from the scene, afraid that the [Ice Sword Killing G.o.d] would bear a grudge against them in the future.
However, there were some others who hesitated.
A Heavenly Spirit Race expert paused for a moment, then he said, "My lord, we don"t want to make an enemy out of you, but there"s truly a deep enmity between the Heavenly Spirit Race and the Four Stars Sect. We hope that you"ll let us join the battle to avenge the fallen from our race."
"Yes, there is a deep blood feud between our race and the Four Stars Sect."
"My lord, you might be incredibly powerful, but it wouldn"t be right for you to stop us from exacting revenge."
"That would be too overbearing."
"Your actions would be no different from the overbearing nature of the Four Stars Sect in the past."
Several experts from the foreign races continued to stir up troubles and muttered complaints, hoping to gain the support of even more experts. After all, ma.s.s offenders are rarely persecuted before the law, so if they could gain strength in numbers, they could pressure Ye Qingyu in allowing them to join the battle. This would also mean that they were not openly defying him but were merely airing their grievances, so Ye Qingyu would probably not kill them just because they made several complaints, right? No matter how strong he was, he still needed the support and recognition of most of the forces since this was also a way to consolidate his position.
"How dare you. The Heavenly Spirit Race used to have the closest relations with the Four Stars Sect and you were once allies," Lin Yutang admonished them angrily.
He was well aware of how the situation had been.
These Heavenly Spirit Race experts bowed their heads, then they lifted their heads again and tried to defend themselves, "The Four Stars Sect had forced us to be their allies... We were not true allies and we were also oppressed and bullied by them, so we must exact revenge..."
"How shameless of you," Lin Yutang was livid.
Ye Qingyu smiled and stopped Lin Yutang from saying any more with a wave of his hand. He then turned toward this group of experts and sighed before he said, "You were afraid of the Four Stars Sect but you do not fear me. Do you really think that I won"t be as overbearing as the Four Stars Sect?"
Those experts froze at his words.
They suddenly felt as though something terrible was about to happen.
Then, Ye Qingyu swept his hand across the sky and a ray of dazzling sword light appeared out of nowhere.
The several dozen experts who had been airing their complaints and trying to stir up trouble were instantly sliced into two by the sword light and fell like stalks of straw that were sliced by a sickle. Their bodies split apart easily before plummeting to the ground. Even in death, their expressions were still twisted savagely with greed. They could not believe right until their dying moment that he would kill them over their minor complaints.
The other experts s.h.i.+vered in fear at the sight and quickly retreated as though they were avoiding a poisonous serpent.
They felt as though their hearts had sunk to the bottom of an icy cave, and they suddenly realized that they had neglected a very important fact - the [Ice Sword Killing G.o.d] Ye Qingyu had never shown mercy and was well-known to be extremely ruthless, so he was clearly no pushover. They were simply courting death by trying to use the tactics that they used against those men who angled for fame. Why did they think that Ye Qingyu could be held ransom by their petty tricks?
Those who defied him had sealed their death sentence.
This was how the [Ice Sword Killing G.o.d] had always behaved. He did not mind killing several more experts regardless of the situation.
He regained complete control over the situation.
He sat in the middle of the Four Stars Sect"s sect gate and overlooked the proceedings.
There were indeed countless precious and divine treasures and martial techniques manuals that the sect had collected for several millennia. The Four Stars Sect was also indeed very rich so he could understand why those experts from the foreign races had l.u.s.ted after those riches but to him, these riches belonged to the Human Race and had to be kept within the Human Race. According to the agreement he struck with the Dragon Human Race, they would receive several origin crystals and raw materials as their reward, but he would not allow them to take those secret manuals and precious weapons.
There was a fierce battle within the sect gate.
They had received orders beforehand to not completely annihilate the sect, so they tried their best to not set the place on fire.
"I will spare those who surrender!"
"We"ll only kill the leaders who committed evil, but we will spare the ordinary disciples."
These voices rang out from the Four Stars Sect"s sect gate.
The disciples of the Four Stars Sect were in a state of extreme panic and reacted like dogs without a master. They had once destroyed countless sects and annihilated countless other forces over the past centuries, but they had never imagined that they would one day face the same fate. Their sect had reached new heights over the past few centuries and they had a Quasi-emperor on their side, which also meant that this was a golden age for their sect, so it was a huge blow for them to suddenly sink to such depths at their peak. They were both fl.u.s.tered and frightened, and completely lacked the will to battle on.
Many lower-ranked disciples put up a feeble attempt to resist, but ultimately chose to surrender.
As for the upper echelons of the sect, they could only choose to battle to the death.
The sect master of the Four Stars Sect faced off against Spokesperson Li once more. This time, he attacked with all his might and killing intent surged explosively from him. They both did not hold anything back in their attacks since there was no longer any room for negotiation. Furthermore, the sect master had once threatened Spokesperson Li with his daughter, so Spokesperson Li would definitely not let him escape this time...
Both parties soon sustained injuries.
The successor of the White Jade Capital joined forces with Li Shengyan to battle the Four Stars Holy Girl.
There was no longer any need to engage in one-on-one battles since everyone wanted the battle to end as soon as possible.
Soldiers battled soldiers.
Generals battled generals.
Lu Wei showed off his incredible strength to kill three of the Seven Sons in quick succession like an invincible killing G.o.d. He was then surrounded by four elders of the Four Stars Sect, but still managed to gain the upper hand.
Time ticked by.
The resistance within the sect gradually weakened.
"Ah..." there was a sharp cry as the sect master of the Four Stars Sect was seriously injured. His body was destroyed by Spokesperson Li and his spirit was also seriously damaged, so there was no way he could escape. He yelled angrily, "I refuse to admit defeat. I was supposed to be the hero of the Four Stars Sect and I could have ruled over everyone, but why? Why have the G.o.ds been so unfair?"
Then, his spirit dissipated.
Spokesperson Li"s body was also riddled with injuries, but he still managed to kill the sect master. This showed how incredibly terrifying and highly-skilled the current spokesperson of the Human Race was.
The Four Stars Holy Girl had also sustained serious injuries.
She did her best to counterattack, but she felt death closing in on her.
"Why did things turn out this way?" the Four Stars Holy Girl asked resentfully.
The Four Stars Sect"s camp was already extremely influential and this was why they managed to gain the support of a dark Quasi-emperor, but no one had expected Ye Qingyu to possess such a powerful secret weapon that had the ability to kill two Quasi-emperors in succession. This then caused the Four Stars Sect to crumble like quicksand."
Those were Quasi-emperors.
They were two Quasi-emperors.
She had thought that their strength and the resources that were acc.u.mulated over several millennia were enough for the Four Stars Sect to reign supreme over many forces in this world and that they could even claim that they were invincible, but who could have expected that... the truth would turn out to be so cruel.
Swis.h.!.+
There was a flash of silver light.
The successor of the White Jade Capital pierced the Four Stars Holy Girl"s chest with her long sleeves.
Blood gushed from her mouth and she quickly retreated.
"b.i.t.c.h, go to h.e.l.l," the chubby Li Shengyan attacked ruthlessly and his golden hammers hummed as golden lightning and thunder appeared all over the skies. He couldn"t wait to smash this woman into smithereens.
The Four Stars Holy Girl hastily retreated, but she was still struck by lightning. Her body turned as black as an ancient burnt tree bark.
She was stuck in a hopeless situation.
Death was about to close in on her.
Li Shengyan continued to attack furiously.
Suddenly, there was a strange ripple in the void that spread outwards to protect the Four Stars Holy Girl. The ripple swirled and was about to take her away...
Ye Qingyu looked down at this scene in the void and purple light circulated in his eyes as he unleashed the power of laws to lock in on that part of the void.
"Brother Ye Qingyu, she has already sustained serious injuries and is no longer a threat. Please spare her today and I promise that I will give the Human Race an explanation in the future," a voice rang out. Then, a phantom figure in golden armor appeared. This was Ye Qingyu"s old friend and he pleaded sincerely for her life.
Ye Qingyu sighed and hesitated for a moment, but the purple qi finally faded from his eyes and everything in the void returned to normal.
The ripple in s.p.a.ce flashed as that phantom figure brought the Four Stars Holy Girl away.
"Many thanks, Brother Ye Qingyu," the voice said gratefully before it disappeared.
