In a hidden secret forest a hundred miles away from Falling Cloud Sect.
Zhao Shijie and the others cleared a large open space and placed high-grade spirit stones in different directions.
"The teleportation array is ready, we can act now."
Zhao Shijie and Lin Ting took the lead, soaring into the sky with twenty players.
They did not hide their aura; instead, they unleashed all their cultivation, charging towards Falling Cloud Sect with the force of thunder.
At this moment, only over a thousand disciples and a few Golden Core Stage Elders remained in Falling Cloud Sect.
An Elder discovered their tracks and immediately flew up, blocking their path, "This is Falling Cloud Sect territory, who are you?"
"Kill!"
Zhao Shijie brandished his long spear, transforming into an afterimage and disappearing from his spot.
The spear tip, like a dragon, instantly pierced through the Elder's heart.
Tear—
The corpse split into two, blood splattering into the void.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Clang, clang, clang—
An urgent clang of copper rang out within the sect, and all the Elders and over a thousand disciples rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Who dares to trespass on Falling Cloud Sect!" An Elder roared furiously, attempting to activate the sect's protective formation.
Whoosh—
A tiny flying sword flashed by in an instant, and when it reappeared, the leading Elder was already decapitated.
Everyone's faces turned pale with horror, and they retreated in fear.
"Quickly go notify the Grand Elders, powerful enemies are invading the sect!"
This was exactly the effect Zhao Shijie and the others wanted; they immediately rushed into the sect and began a large-scale slaughter.
"Everyone, run!"
An Elder let out a hysterical roar, then blocked everyone's path and self-detonated his Golden Core.
Bang—
An explosion rang out, and the powerful aftershock destroyed the surrounding buildings.
Zhao Shijie and the others were sent flying but their expressions remained normal, and they rushed back into the sect.
Disciples who couldn't escape in time were mercilessly cut down, their blood splattering in every corner.
Zhao Shijie flew above the main hall, a terrifying energy attached to his silver spear.
"Go!"
The silver spear, carrying terrifying might, smashed straight down.
Rumble—
The main hall collapsed, turning into ruins.
Other areas were also extensively destroyed by the others, with one palace after another being obliterated.
"Let's go! To the next sect!"
The same scene unfolded in other sects.
In just over an hour, all hostile sects in the southern region were destroyed, and a large number of disciples and Elders were mercilessly annihilated.
After dealing with the southern region, everyone quickly regrouped and split into two groups, heading north.
This time, they did not advance rashly but cautiously searched for suitable teleportation points and set up several teleportation arrays.
After completing these preparations, Zhao Shijie and Li Yongxiao finally revealed their aura, leading dozens of people to kill their way towards Lian Shi Sect.
Unlike other sects, Lian Shi Sect had over ten thousand disciples guarding the sect, in addition to more than a dozen Nascent Soul Stage Elders.
"Lin Ting, Li Yongxiao, you two will follow me to block those Elders, the rest of you go kill the other disciples. Remember, be ruthless, and the destructive power must be immense!"
"Understood!"
Everyone split into two groups; Zhao Shijie and the two others confronted the dozen or so Elders, while the rest rushed into the crowd.
Bang, bang—
A large number of Exploding Kill Talismans detonated in the crowd, blood mist filled the sky, and severed limbs flew through the air.
Screams echoed through the heavens, and one building after another was violently destroyed by the players.
Some players, caught in an encirclement, chose to self-detonate without a word.
The brutal scene even moved these demonic sect disciples.
The battle in the sky was also extremely fierce; Zhao Shijie and Li Yongxiao did not hesitate to burn their origins, unleashing all their divine abilities.
The power of laws poured down from the void, destroying a mountain peak which then plummeted into a ten-thousand-foot abyss.
Seeing a large number of disciples within the sect being killed one after another, an Elder's face darkened, and he conjured a bell.
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling—
The sound reverberated through the void, like a melody from the netherworld.
"Old Ancestor, quickly awaken!"
Suddenly, a terrifying power awakened from the corpse vein, and the sound of chains echoed in the void.
"Not good, it's a Transformation God Realm cultivator!" Lin Ting cried out in alarm.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat from Lian Shi Sect!!!"
Zhao Shijie and the two others swiftly retreated at the first moment, while the remaining people wanted to withdraw quickly, but it was already too late.
A dense corpse qi instantly spread throughout the entire Lian Shi Sect, and all the players who couldn't escape in time were completely restrained.
Immediately after, a terrifying suction force suddenly appeared, and then large amounts of blood flowed from everyone's seven orifices, turning into blood threads that flew towards the abyss.
"Roar!"
A roar echoed through the sky; it seemed as if something terrifying was about to emerge from the abyss.
"Go!"
Zhao Shijie and the two others crushed their teleportation talismans and quickly fled.
...
On the other side, Fang Yuan and the others were in a much more severe situation than Zhao Shijie's group.
As the number one sect in the northern region, Limitless Sect's foundation was naturally self-evident.
As soon as they appeared, three Yuan Ying Stage Elders blocked their path.
Fang Yuan made a decisive decision, releasing the specters from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and together with Meng Ke'er and the others, they confronted the three Elders.
"All players, rush in and self-destruct!"
Twenty players charged fearlessly towards the center of Limitless Sect, collectively self-detonating their origins.
Bang—
A wave of heat instantly swept through everything around, leveling buildings, and some weaker cultivators were crushed by the aftershock, turning into ashes.
At a critical moment, a terrifying energy suddenly erupted from Limitless Sect's back mountain, protecting all the disciples within the sect.
"Retreat!"
Fang Yuan grabbed Meng Ke'er's shoulder, crushing a teleportation talisman without hesitation, and the others also crushed their teleportation talismans one after another, quickly leaving.
...
At the same time, at the Hua Xia Sect battlefield.
Bai Yue's divine soul vibrated, and her Transformation God Realm cultivation fell back to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Pfft..."
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and her entire body plummeted towards the ground.
Bang—
The barrier broke, and millions of cultivators surged towards Hua Xia Sect.
Chu Huaian forced back all enemies with a single sword strike, transforming into a purple lightning bolt and appearing beside Bai Yue, leading her back to the inner sect.
"Chu Huaian, your death is nigh!" Someone let out a cold snort.
Facing the surging tide of people, Chu Huaian waved his arm, and dozens of projection stones appeared before everyone's eyes.
Inside, scenes of various sects being destroyed and large numbers of disciples being cut down were being broadcast.
"Not good, the sect is in trouble! Quickly go back to support!" Someone cried out in alarm.
"Shameless Hua Xia Sect, daring to launch a sneak attack on our sect! Quickly go back!"
"Falling Cloud Sect disciples, listen to my command, quickly go back to support!"
"Moon Shadow Sect disciples, listen to my command, retreat!"
"Myriad Manifestation Gate disciples, listen to my command, immediately turn back and quickly return to the sect!"
In an instant, the major sects disintegrated, and the Elders, leading their disciples, rushed back to their sects.
"Something's wrong, this is very likely a conspiracy by Hua Xia Sect!" An Elder from Limitless Sect roared loudly.
"Everyone, do not retreat, continue to besiege Hua Xia Sect!" Another Elder stood out to stop them.
But their voices were too faint to stop them, and they could only watch helplessly as the tide of people retreated.
In the hearts of others, these first-grade sects were naturally not in a hurry, but they couldn't afford not to be; the sect's remaining strength was not strong to begin with, and once broken, all the cultivation resources within the sect would be in danger.
They dared not gamble; these were the sect's foundations, and without them, the sect would be destroyed.
Hua Xia Sect could be attacked at any time, but the sect could not be lost.
With this thought, large numbers of cultivators rapidly withdrew from the battlefield.
Before long, the originally dense crowd disappeared.
The entire battlefield was silent, with only Limitless Sect and Lian Shi Sect still holding on.
"All Hua Xia Sect disciples, listen to my command, kill!"
Chu Huaian's killing intent surged, and he led Luo Xi and the other talented disciples to another battlefield.
The Elders of Limitless Sect almost wet themselves when they saw this; if this group rushed into the battlefield, what would be left to fight!
"Limitless Sect disciples, listen to my command, quickly withdraw from the battlefield!"
Whoosh, countless disciples immediately retreated rapidly, moving away from the battlefield.
The remaining Lian Shi Sect disciples dared not linger and also retreated at the first opportunity.
After a while, the entire battlefield became silent.
The land sank, and the area within a hundred miles was completely reduced to ruins, a scene of desolation.
Except for a few intact buildings, Hua Xia Sect had been leveled.
All the players' efforts before had turned into nothing.
Jing Yuan descended from the sky, saying tiredly, "It's finally over."
"No, it's not over yet!" Chu Huaian's eyes were cold, and he said with killing intent, "The slaughter has only just begun."
"What else do you want to do?" Jing Yuan frowned, looking at Chu Huaian.
For this war to have reached this point was already the best possible outcome.
Next, they just needed to gather the forces of the four major sects, station them near Hua Xia Sect, and set up various killing formations; even if the enemy attacked again, they would have to consider the casualties.
This was Jing Yuan's idea, and also the idea of most people present.
But Chu Huaian was not satisfied with the current situation and uttered words that shocked everyone present.
"There's a saying, 'Fight one punch to avoid a hundred punches.'"
"I want all sects to tremble in fear when they hear the name Hua Xia Sect!"
Hearing this, Jing Yuan's heart inexplicably trembled, "So, how do you plan to do it?"
"Stop killing with killing!"
