#456 - I will kill all of you.
Jun Wuxie arrived at the Southern Domain Ancient City and spurred his horse onward, not hesitating to expend top-grade spirit crystals to replenish Jueying's energy, allowing it to continue galloping at two hundred times the speed of sound.
Meanwhile, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the high-level figures of various forces were engaged in fierce debate.
"You can't do this! It's just a matter of waiting a few more days, why must you involve the innocent?"
A Saint Realm expert from the Medicine King Sect looked at the high-level figures from the Saint Gate, Soul Hunting Hall, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, and other forces with a stony expression and angry tone.
"Involve the innocent?" A high-level figure from the Soul Hunting Hall said coldly, "The people of the world are nothing more than ants to my Soul Hunting Hall. What's the harm in sacrificing a few ants? Do you need to put on such a show of pity for the common people?"
"Heh heh." A high-level figure from the Ancient Phoenix Sect laughed indifferently, "What difference is there between these weak and lowly people and chickens, ducks, and fish? This time, we don't want to waste time. What's wrong with using their blood for sacrifice?"
"Are you not human?" A Saint Realm expert from the Spirit Control Sect was enraged and said, "You of the Ancient Phoenix Sect are just humans with the bloodline of the ancient phoenix flowing through your veins! Aren't you afraid of offending the heavens by doing this?"
"Amitabha, all living beings are equal, where does the distinction between lowly and noble come from?"
A high-ranking monk from the Great Brahma Monastery put his palms together.
"What, do you all intend to stop us?" A high-level figure from the Golden Ancient City, clad in golden battle armor, scanned them and said, "We have no intention of wasting words with you. If you want to stop us, feel free to try!"
After he finished speaking, he gestured, and immediately hundreds of people rushed towards the surroundings of the city.
"You!" The Saint Realm experts from the Medicine King Sect, Spirit Control Sect, Ice Cloud Tower, and Demon Appearance Sect were all trembling with anger.
Those people rushed into the homes of ordinary citizens, directly kicking open the doors and forcibly dragging out everyone inside, regardless of age or infirmity.
For a time, the capital city was filled with cries of despair.
Batch after batch of civilians were dragged into the ancient formation, confined to the runes, their bodies cut with numerous wounds, fresh blood flowing out of the wounds, flowing onto the runes, causing the revival of those runes to gradually accelerate.
"Waa waa, Mother! Guoguo hurts so much~"
A little boy, only four or five years old, struggled on the runes, covered in blood, reaching out towards his parents, who were also being sacrificed, but unable to touch them no matter how hard he tried.
"Grandpa, don't hurt my grandpa, waa waa, I'll give you my blood, let my grandpa go, please…"
A little girl of eight or nine years old, covered in blood, curled up on the ground, uttering helpless pleas amidst intense pain.
…
In the ancient formation, all those being sacrificed were not adults, there were very few teenagers, and the vast majority were women, children, and the elderly.
Having just survived the crisis of national destruction, the men in their families had almost all died in battle, leaving behind orphaned women, widows, the old, and the weak.
They hadn't even lived a few peaceful days before disaster struck again.
No one could understand the grief and despair in their hearts.
"Beasts, you bunch of beasts!!"
In the center of the ancient formation, Xu Daoling and Kongxu, who were nailed to stone pillars, had bulging eyes, their eyeballs filled with blood, roaring at the Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, Saint Gate, and Soul Hunting Hall like enraged beasts.
Their faces were pale, their wrists and ankles pierced by iron nails, their bodies covered with hundreds of not-so-deep wounds, constantly oozing blood, completely turning them into two blood-soaked figures.
Their blood flowed down the mountainside, flowing into the rune trenches at their feet, providing sacrificial power to the runes.
The entire rune formation area was filled with cries of despair.
The people from the Medicine King Sect and other forces witnessed such a tragic scene, their hands clenched tightly, their hearts extremely distressed.
As the dominant forces in the world, they had a responsibility to protect the common people.
Regardless of how martial artists fought among themselves, ordinary people were innocent.
"You, Heavenly Purity Sect, are you just going to watch like this?"
They roared at the Heavenly Purity Sect high-level figures, who appeared to be indifferent, almost as if questioning them.
"Everyone, please be patient and don't be restless. In times like these, some innocent people will always die. Although my Heavenly Purity Sect is the guardian of the world's rules, it is difficult to save every weak person."
The high-level figures of the Heavenly Purity Sect had a look of grief on their faces, but there was no pity in their eyes, only indifference.
"You, stop it for me!"
Ji Liufeng, accompanied by Long Yi, staggered over, his eyes wide with fury as he witnessed such a scene.
Great Zhou had already experienced such a tragic war.
Now, Great Zhou's people had only lived a few days of peace?
"A ruler of a mortal world dares to shout in front of us, get lost!"
A prodigy from the Ancient Phoenix Sect waved his hand from afar.
A force of crimson flames swept over like a hurricane.
Long Yi's pupils contracted, and he immediately rushed in front of Ji Liufeng, wanting to resist.
As a result, with a bang.
He and Ji Liufeng were both sent flying.
Ji Liufeng spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to get up, while Long Yi was swallowed by the flames, struggling in intense burning pain, but enduring without making a sound, gradually turning into ashes.
"Father Emperor!"
Ji Beilan arrived, helping Ji Liufeng up from the ground, his eyes fixed on the people from the Ancient Phoenix Sect and others, his body trembling violently, a powerful force gradually surging within him.
"Hahaha! What emperor, mortals are nothing but ants and weeds, they can be killed with a flick of a finger."
The prodigies from the Ancient Phoenix Sect and other forces sneered disdainfully.
"Boy, judging by the look in your eyes, you seem very unconvinced?"
A prodigy from the Ancient Phoenix Sect looked down at Ji Beilan from afar, sneering, "Oh, Star River Realm? What difference is there between you and the ants on the ground? Do you feel无比的愤怒 (unparalleled rage)? Unfortunately, the rage of an ant, besides being laughable and pitiful, has no meaning."
Ji Beilan's eyes were blood-red, and the veins on his neck were bulging!
At this time, the weak Ji Liufeng grabbed his hand, holding it tightly.
An old man, tottering, walked over, his withered old hand pressing on Ji Beilan's shoulder.
In an instant, he suppressed the power that was about to run wild within him.
In the eyes of others, he was just a very ordinary old man, like one of the many old and weak in this city, inconspicuous.
"Waa waa~ Mother, Guoguo is so cold, is Guoguo going to die…"
Weak cries came from the ancient formation rune area.
"Oh, watching these weak ants struggle in despair is quite interesting."
The people from the Golden Ancient City commented in this way.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Thunderous shouts of killing resounded in the streets of the city.
Neat footsteps shook the earth.
Hundreds of thousands of young soldiers, holding spears, rushed towards the area where the Ancient Phoenix Sect and others were located like moths to a flame.
They knew they were going to die, they knew that their sacrifice could hardly change anyone's fate!
But they resolutely pointed the blades in their hands at the enemies who dared to destroy their homes and slaughter their people!
Although the enemy was very powerful, so powerful that it far exceeded their imagination, their thin arms still raised the shining spears!
"Heh heh, they do have some backbone."
The prodigy from the Golden Ancient City said indifferently, then raised his palm, the golden light dazzling between his fingers, the sharpness piercing the void, about to bombard and kill the rushing Great Zhou soldiers.
"Everyone, retreat!"
A dragon-like voice resounded throughout the entire capital city!
A figure descended from the sky, like a blazing sun, with ten thousand feet of golden light!
Boom!
His footsteps stepped in the air, and the violent golden blood energy rushed forward like a mountain torrent, instantly shaking the prodigy of the Ancient Phoenix Sect and sending him flying out, staggering. If it hadn't been for his clansmen to support him in time, he would have almost fallen!
"Lord God!"
"Lord God is back!"
The Great Zhou soldiers were tearful, these strong young soldiers who were not afraid of sacrifice, burst into tears.
The people also cried.
"You are Jun Wuxie?"
The prodigy from the Golden Ancient City had a livid face, feeling that he had suffered a loss just now because of carelessness.
Who was he?
He was a prodigy from one of the top forces in this world, but he had lost face in front of a teenager from a mortal world, how could he endure it?
His eyes were cold and deep, blooming with sharp metal light, piercing through the void, which was very terrifying.
"Someone, take them away for treatment!"
Jun Wuxie ignored the prodigy from the Golden Ancient City.
He landed in the middle of the great formation, and the domineering golden blood energy, at this moment, became very gentle, enveloping all the thousands of people who were being sacrificed, forcibly taking them away from the adsorption of the formation patterns.
The refined Spring of Life, filled with a strong aura of life, penetrated into people's bodies, repairing their flesh and blood, and locking in their dying vitality.
"Lord God…"
Some generals stepped forward with their men, their voices choked with sobs.
That voice carried deep sorrow and sadness.
Why was their country so plagued by disasters!
They just wanted to live ordinary lives, just wanted to live a peaceful life.
"Take them away, leave this place to me!" After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, his voice was like a bell: "All the people in the city, retreat a hundred miles!"
His words were more effective than an imperial edict.
As soon as the voice fell, all the people of Great Zhou orderly retreated, the strong helping the elderly and carrying the young.
At this time, Jun Wuxie came to the center of the ancient formation and sucked with his hand.
The iron nails that nailed Kongxu and Xu Daoling were instantly sucked out, bringing up eight streams of blood.
He passed two strands of pure life energy over.
"Senior Brother!"
"Retreat with the people."
Jun Wuxie said calmly.
They nodded, no longer said anything, and quickly left here, dragging their wounded bodies.
"Jun Wuxie, are you back to die?"
The prodigy from the Golden Ancient City felt that he had suffered a loss just now because of carelessness.
Who was he?
"Who sacrificed my junior brother and the people of Great Zhou?"
Jun Wuxie's voice was surprisingly calm, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
Those eyes were like a pool of still water.
"Are you questioning us?"
A strong expert from Holy Gate sneered. Today, with the presence of the young prodigies from the Ancient Phoenix Sect, the Golden Ancient City, and the Soul Hunting Hall, what waves could Jun Wuxie possibly make, no matter how strong he is?
Could he possibly contend with so many prodigies at once?
"Whatever we do, what can you do? Do you want to kill us?" A young prodigy from the Ancient Phoenix Sect said with a cold and sinister gaze, "You killed Gu Yu and others from our sect. Now that you've delivered yourself to our doorstep, it saves us the trouble of looking for you!"
"It was merely sacrificing some ants," a high-level member of the Soul Hunting Hall said with a chilling tone. "In the battle outside the capital that day, you killed many high-level Soul Hunters from our Soul Hunting Hall. It's time to settle that score as well."
"The world says you are very strong. Today, I, Jin Zaixuan, want to see just how much you're really worth and how many rounds you can last in front of me!"
The prodigy from the Golden Ancient City who had been shaken back earlier walked out from the crowd, his golden battle armor gleaming with light, golden runes appearing on his body, and even his pupils turning golden.
His entire being seemed to be cast from gold, and faintly, there was even a trace of imperishable aura.
This was the characteristic of the Golden Bloodline, combined with the bloodline's inherited techniques! In its ultimate state, one could cultivate the physical body to an imperishable golden body, immune to all laws.
"Well, Jun, who do you want to choose to kill you?"
Two young prodigies walked out from the Ancient Phoenix Sect's group, coldly looking down at him.
"You can choose who you want to die by."
Two young people also walked out from the Soul Hunting Hall's side.
At this time, the second young prodigy from the Golden Ancient City also stood out.
Only the Holy Gate remained silent.
The three supreme dominator-level forces, six young prodigies, stood proudly in the void with their hands behind their backs.
"Since that's the case, then I shall slaughter all of you!"
Jun Wuxie, who had seemed calm all along, suddenly had a flash of intense cold light in his eyes.
In that instant, his killing intent soared to the sky, directly splitting the heavens!
With a boom!
He took a step forward, causing cracks to spread across a large area of the void, and his golden blood energy surged around his body like a concentrated ocean!
