Chapter 129 The Destruction of the Xuanjia Sect
In Linjiang City, a fierce wind howled, whipping up waves and dark clouds, and countless blood-red figures attracted a flurry of shadowy figures.
Amidst the rising and falling of the corpses, the carnivorous fish that had not been caught and were hiding in the deep sea found their place in this killing feast, each enjoying themselves to the fullest, and the blood almost dyed the waterways of Xiaogan red.
The high-pitched shouts of battle, the sounds of clashing internal energy, the crushing of bones and muscles, and the breaking of weapons mingled with the raging wind and rain, making the carnage even more brutal.
This riverside city, which normally suppresses waterways and provides supplies to passing merchant ships, has been transformed into a boiling killing field, with a ferocious and terrifying aura that has almost materialized.
At this moment, the leader of the Xuanjia Sect had a ferocious expression. His black and yellow armor was tattered and worn out. The Yuan Qi circulation system inside, which had been purchased at great expense and drawn by master craftsmen, was also dim and had lost its defensive capabilities.
He held a tiger-headed spear in his hand, with earth-elemental true energy swirling around it. Blood and bits of flesh dripped from the spear blade, splashing up blood flowers in the boiling seawater.
Although dozens of elite members of the Bone-Piercing Sect had already fallen to his spear, a steady stream of masked men continued to charge at him fearlessly, making it impossible to kill them all in a short time.
On the opposite side, the leader of the Bone-Piercing Sect appeared very composed. He was dressed in black armor, which shone with a brilliant light. His figure was as imposing as a mountain, and a sharp aura spread out, indiscriminately cutting through everything around him.
The leader of the Xuanjia Sect didn't look at the Hall Master of the Chigu Sect who was looking at him with a mocking gaze. Instead, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at a masked man wearing ordinary black armor behind the encirclement: "My Xuanjia Sect considers itself to be law-abiding. Although we occupy a city, we have never shortchanged a single penny of taxes."
Even the filial piety gifts we were entitled to during holidays were all given to us. Why, then, did we suffer this horrific tragedy of our entire family being wiped out?
There was no response. Amidst the raging storm, only the gradually subsiding sounds of slaughter could be heard. The Xuanjia Sect disciples, who had been charging repeatedly, were gradually divided and killed. Their resistance grew weaker and weaker. Even those who laid down their weapons and surrendered were executed without mercy.
This cold-blooded and cruel approach aroused the Xuanjia Sect disciples' determination to fight to the death. Although they inflicted some casualties on the Chigu Sect and the mysterious forces with their fearless actions, the demise of the Xuanjia Sect was already irreversible.
If it were merely the power of one branch of the Bone-Piercing Sect, the Xuanjia Sect in its Earthbound Spirit form would not be afraid, and might even have the upper hand.
However, among every two masked members of the Bone-Piercing Sect, there is a mysterious person with rich combat experience and extremely high quality. Not only are their skills and combat power first-class, but the weapons they carry are also of very high quality and best suited to them.
They cooperated seamlessly, remaining calm even when facing the elite disciples and retainers of the Xuanjia Sect charging from both sides. While avoiding their sharpest attacks, they slowly tightened their encirclement, eventually killing all the Xuanjia Sect experts who were exhausted of their true energy.
These are definitely not the elite experts that the Bone-Piercing Sect can field. Even if they could, their own people would leak the news. After all, a move of this caliber can't be kept secret.
However, the current situation is that Xuanjia Sect was attacked suddenly without any preparation and was instantly severely damaged. The retreat ships that were hastily organized were also mercilessly destroyed by the enemy's mobile combat barges.
Whatever was on it sank to the deep sea along with the shipwreck.
Within the limited territory of Yuntai Prefecture, there are few forces capable of producing such a configuration, and even fewer that have a grudge against Xuanjia Sect. Moreover, based on his instinctive intuition, he felt that it was the person he had guessed.
"Feng Kuang!"
The Xuanjia Sect leader's eyes were bloodshot, and his tiger-headed spear erupted with dazzling light, instantly wiping out the raging storm in front of him, along with the three or four demonic members of the Bone-Piercing Sect who had surrounded him. He roared, "Answer me!"
There was still no response. Just as the leader of the Bone-Piercing Sect was about to make a gesture to lock the slightly loosened encirclement again, a calm voice pierced through the chaos of the killing field and through the storm, and rang in his ears.
"I really want to tell you the reason, but unfortunately, I don't know either. The orders I received were only to eliminate the Xuanjia Sect, nothing more. Military orders are absolute, and I... am powerless to do anything about it."
The wall of people surrounding them broke apart, and the mysterious man in plain black armor removed his mask, revealing his true face. He was none other than Feng Kuang, the master of the Dragon Pool in Yuntai Prefecture and the commander of the Dragon Cavalry.
The identities of the elites he brought who were besieging the Xuanjia Sect were self-evident.
"All I can give you is the fate of a warrior: to fight to the death in a battle fought with all your might."
Feng Kuang glanced around at the corpses floating on the deck of the Xuanjia Sect leader's ship and sighed.
"Our Xuanjia Sect has devoted itself to maintaining the waterways, never lacking in taxes, and always responding actively to the orders issued by the Yuntai Prefecture. Is it possible that after all our loyalty to the country, we will end up being wiped out without any explanation?"
Feng Kuang's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Perhaps what you said is true, or perhaps it isn't, but now that I've come here and exposed the power that we, the Bone-Piercing Grandmaster, have been supporting."
You should know that the nature and outcome of this matter are irreversible.
"I'm willing to let the rest of them surrender and commit suicide here. Could you spare their lives, for the sake of our past comrades-in-arms?"
The leader of the Xuanjia Sect coughed twice and said in a pleading tone.
Ever since they learned who was coming to ambush them, the leader of the Xuanjia Sect knew he had no way out. He regretted sending a message requesting reinforcements. Since the Dragon Riders had become the executioners, the Tiger Riders, who were almost one with each other, would naturally not stand idly by.
The Dragon Riders were annihilating the Xuanjia Sect on the main battlefield, so there was no need to ask where the Tiger Riders were.
"My orders were... to leave no survivors."
Feng Kuang's facial muscles twitched for a moment, but his words remained utterly cold: "At least here, not a single member of the Xuanjia Sect will survive."
Despair appeared on the face of the Xuanjia Sect leader. He slowly calmed down and was no longer as hysterical as before. Even the earth-elemental true energy wrapped around the tiger-headed spear was withdrawn.
"I'll be waiting for you in hell, you beast."
"That's what the leader of the Xuanjia Sect said."
"Then remember to save me a good spot; there must be quite a few people waiting for me to go to hell."
Feng Kuang's voice carried a heavy, dark humor. His eyes turned serious, and he waved his hand, signaling the people in the encirclement to step back: "As imperial guards, we are nothing more than a sharp sword in the hands of the Martial Emperor."
Just as he said, Feng Kuang would give the leader of the Xuanjia Sect a merciful end, allowing him to die fighting as a warrior's final resting place.
