Chapter 865 Attacking the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect
Judging from the icy corpse’s incredible and horrible look, one could deduce how desperate the heir of the Hidden Fragrance Peak was at that time.
Who on earth could do this?
Could it be a G.o.d-level expert?
There were various kinds of speculations when the news came out.
However, it was strange that the Hidden Fragrance Peak, which had always protected its own people, did not say anything. Instead, they quietly order their masters to take the icy corpse back. Some masters of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan who stayed at the scene of the incident unluckily were all killed, becoming the target of Hidden Fragrance Peak’s anger.
Everyone knew that there was a crazy revenge brewing in Hidden Fragrance Peak.
In the past countless years, all the forces, sects, and masters who provoked Hidden Fragrance Peak were all killed.
Then there was news that the force that killed the heir of the Hidden Fragrance Peak was probably the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
There were rumors before that the Hidden Fragrance Peak had secretly attacked the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Some disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, who were tortured to death and then appeared at the foot of Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain, were killed by the Dark Fragrance Peak. In the end, what the Hidden Fragrance Peak did irritated the Saber and Sword Addict who had been cultivating in seclusion before. He personally chased after the heir of the Dark Fragrance Peak for thousands of miles and froze him...
“If the killer is Saber and Sword Addict, then everything makes sense. Ding Hao’s icy sword is extremely powerful. The icy Qi can freeze lava, and he has the capability of defeating the heir of Hidden Fragrance Peak...”
“If that is the case, the rumors are all true, right?”
“Does the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect go crazy? They provoked the River Palace and the Hidden Fragrance Peak in succession just for a moment’s pleasure. They are absolutely courting death!”
“The Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect is doomed... Maybe the recent glory made them get carried away and goaded someone they shouldn’t goad. Even the three peerless masters including Ding Hao can’t fend off those two super forces!”
Some people sighed, feeling that the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect really went crazy.
This was simply a declaration of war against the two Holy Lands of Martial Arts.
The situation in the Northern Region, which had been defused slightly due to the alliance between two clans, suddenly became tense after the two shocking bomb-like messages.
No one believed that the River Palace and the Hidden Fragrance Peak would easily forgive even if the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect was wronged at first.
The dignity of the super sects could never be challenged.
“Kill! Send out the masters in the hall and crush the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect!”
“If Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect can’t give us an explanation, there will be no need for them to exist in this world. Killing my elder of the outer sect was a public humiliation to my sect. Even the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost would show some respect for us. The Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, such a small sect, really forgets who it is by acting so recklessly.”
The River Palace.
Countless experts roared angrily.
They hardly think about why this accident happened. In their eyes, they would rather fail the whole world than be betrayed by the world. “Killing a few ordinary disciples of your Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect was negligible, however, you killed my elder of the outer sect for revenge, we couldn’t accept it at all.” This was exactly what they thought.
A large number of masters from the River Palace swarmed out and rushed to Snow Province.
This time, they planned to teach the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect a hard lesson and make an example out of them, telling those so-called rising sects and forces how powerful an ancient holy land of martial arts was and what would happen if they provoked a super force.
“Huh Huh Huh... It seems that we have been silent for so long that the world slowly forgets the horror of the Hidden Fragrance Peak. Such a small rising sect dares to kill our heir...”
A fit of terrifying and creepy laughter burst out in the freezing abyss, making people’s hair stand on end.
“Send out the saint killer of the Hidden Fragrance Peak to exterminate the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.” Another cold and indifferent voice sounded.
“Exterminate the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect and catch that Saber and Sword Addict to let him have a taste of waling in Heaven Prison. We can make his skull into the toilet bowl, peel off his skin, and hang him in the Heaven Peak Cemetery. Huh Huh Huh...” The third ghost-like voice echoed in the darkness.
In silence, countless a.s.sa.s.sins walking in the darkness rushed to Snow Province in the Northern Region.
More and more people began to appear around the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain.
Everyone knew that a terrifying storm was brewing, and a gloomy slaughter was perhaps about to begin.
If the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost didn’t show up to stop the disaster, it would be hard for the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect to escape it.
However, the supreme masters of the Human Clan, Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost, who had always favored the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, did not say a word during the whole process. It looked as if they had abandoned the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
One day, the sun rose from the mountain range on the east side.
There were various formations around the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain apart from the defensive formations set by the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Some forces with ulterior motives sealed the entire area with formations to prevent the people of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect from escaping with crystals and treasures.
Rumors had already spread in the outside world.
Suddenly, the white clouds in the distance parted, and the void parted away slightly like water ripples. Huge crimson wars.h.i.+ps, like huge sea beasts jumping out of the water, descended from the void on the mountain gate of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect...
These giant wars.h.i.+ps were as majestic as mountains and cast shadows on the ground.
“They are Rive Wars.h.i.+ps of the River Palace!” Seeing these wars.h.i.+ps, someone exclaimed.
River Wars.h.i.+ps was a kind of war monster used for long-distance expeditions. It was a combination of the high-level refined weapons and the inscription formation. It was a war machine with terrible fighting power and the ability to carry people and things. Such a strategic weapon would only appear in the holy wars previously. In peaceful times, very few super sects would use such a war beast.
“It seems that the River Palace is serious. Are they going to exterminate the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect?”
“Maybe they just use this as an excuse. The River Palace has long plotted to get the mountain gate of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect and the mysterious crystal at the back of its mountain. Now this just comes as a good excuse...”
Seeing the ten wars.h.i.+ps floating in the sky, those onlookers outside trembled with fear. By sending out these war weapons, the River Palace clearly showed that there was no room for compromise.
In the sky, “Ding Hao, go out to answer me.” An arrogant voice came from the leading River Wars.h.i.+p. Qi soundwaves spread out in the void, resounding within a radius of hundreds of miles like thunder rolling through the sky.
The River Palace just wanted to establish its authority.
This battle not only aimed to punish the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect but also show the power of the River Palace to the entire Northern Region, in order that those who had gradually forgotten the real foundation and power of the super sects would understand that the ancient inheritance was always something that they, the weak, could not provoke.
Standing at the bow of the s.h.i.+p was a middle-aged man in his fifties with beast-like indifferent and cold and light golden eyes. He was burly and had long red hair which looked like a flame burning and jumping. He was surrounded by an air of evilness with his red cloak rolling in the cloak like a ma.s.s of blood.
This person was w.a.n.g Xiaow.a.n.g, the leader of the Heaven Punishment Hall in the River Palace and a strong master in the Sage Realm.
He was also the commander of the River Palace’s expedition to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
In the River Palace, w.a.n.g Xiaow.a.n.g was a tough and b.l.o.o.d.y person like a hawk. This time, the reason why he went out to fight personally was to destroy the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Now the mountain gate of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect was already a great opportunity. He wanted to grab this opportunity for the River Palace.
On the land, the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect did not respond at all.
The whole mountain gate was shrouded with white mist. Everything looked white, and the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain was as silent as a dead city under the sun.
“Huh huh, now you are frightened. Are you a coward? Huh huh, it’s too late. Our River Palace can be killed but not be insulted. Ding Hao, Li Lan, I’ll give you thirty minutes. If you don’t come out soon, I’ll devastate the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain!”
w.a.n.g Xiaow.a.n.g’s voice echoed between heaven and earth.
All the forces and experts within a radius of hundreds of miles clearly felt the undisguised murderous intention in w.a.n.g Xiaow.a.n.g’s words.
However, there was still no response from the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
Thirty seconds pa.s.sed away quickly.
There was a trace of evilness flas.h.i.+ng through w.a.n.g Xiaow.a.n.g’s golden eyes. He nodded slightly.
The River Wars.h.i.+ps in the sky trembled slightly, and then terrifying energy began to slowly gather at the bow of the s.h.i.+ps. Now the ten cannons were fully charged, and then the soldiers from the River Palace adjusted them and slowly aimed them at the mountain gate of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect below.
In the next moment, a blinding flame suddenly burst out in the sky.
It looked like there were another ten hot suns in the sky suddenly.
Everyone closed their eyes tightly because of the blinding light.
Ten streaks of scorching white light pierced through the sky and the earth. They shot out like destructive light silently and hit the sky above the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Layers of transparent cover rippled in the void, which was the defense formation of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
The defense formation, which could withstand the full blow of a master reaching the Half-step Martial Sage, couldn’t resist the bombard of ten giant and magic cannons on the River Wars.h.i.+ps. The formation broke inch by inch, layer by layer. Then with a boom in the sky, the horrible energy exploded. The visible shockwaves, like layers of halos, rapidly radiated from the center of the explosion...
Within a radius of dozens of miles, it was as if a hurricane had swept past.
In an instant, countless low hills were flattened, and a large part of the forest was turned into powder.
Many experts of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, who were too close to the explosion center, were swept away before they knew and spat out blood. Those who were slightly weaker were turned into ashes before they could even react!
It was like the end of the world.
While retreating hurriedly in case of being attacked again, the forces and experts who were watching from all sides secretly cursed that the River Palace was so crazy and didn’t care about the life and death of others
