378 Destroying the Sec (2/2)
”Well said! Rather than waiting here to be crushed by the array, let's fight our way to death!”
The middle-aged martial artist threw the gourd of wine on the ground and rushed out. ”I am True Divine Xuan Wu. Who dares to challenge?”
”Challenge!”
”Challenge!!”
”Challenge!!!”
His last words were loud and striking, spread out far and wide into the clouds. His energy was like a tiny sun, vibrating and ready to explode.
With that, the illusionary figure of a giant appeared.
The giant was entirely black and had the shell of a tortoise on its back. A huge snake coiled around its body. With a ferocious roar, the giant struck a punch into the sky towards the array.
”Rumble!”
At the foot of the mountain, Run Junxian almost lost his balance. ”True Divine?”
In his eyes, the giant which suddenly appeared had extremely toned muscles as though it had walked out from a fable.
Such martial arts was indeed scary and even Venerable Longhu might not be able to match up to it!
Furthermore, he had started to re-evaluate if his choice in becoming a dream master was a right one.
”Hmph, it's just a small trick!”
In mid-air, the three powerful dream masters exchanged glances and shook their heads.
If they were to be ambushed this giant, they would have to fear it.
However, now, the giant was trapped in an array which was given by a Sage. Its indisputable might would surely be able to contain this giant.
Under such circumstances, why would they be afraid of the taunt of a True Divine martial artist?
With this, the dream masters executed their techniques. The translucent flames started to gather, forming something which resembled a tiny sun. As soon as the tiny sun was formed, it started to descend.
”Aw! Aw!”
The giant started to beat its chest and roared. As its body was covered in flames, even the body of the True Divine was beginning to melt.
”Ah... F*ck it! Blood river!”
With the exclamation of a True Divine, the giant started to crumble. Where its heart was supposed to be, there was a huge hole. An emerald glow started to intensify, and with the energy of the True Divine's blood, it struck towards the array.
”Eh?”
”This is... the blood energy of a martial artist? His giving it his all!”
”He is indeed a powerful True Divine to be able to use his powerful blood energy to such an extent!”
The three dream masters quickly discussed how to deal with him, but none of them dared to go head-on with the True Divine's final blow. The only thing they could do was to continuously strengthen the array.
”Chila!”
As the emerald glow struck upon the array, it sizzled and exploded just like how boiling oil would react when in contact with water. The three elders shook as blood started to flow from their noses.
Even a Sage's array would come to a halt against such a powerful force. A huge hole emerged on the surface of the array.
”This is the time. Sect head, go!”
”Brother?!”
Venerable Golden Peak's eyes turned red. He quickly transformed into a streak of light, carried a few disciples with him and tunnelled his way out of the array. Within seconds, he disappeared into the horizon.
”Haha... My sect will live on!”
The middle-aged martial artist laughed as he started to bleed from his eyes, nose, ears and even his mouth. He was badly injured and there was no chance of survival.
This person had just sacrificed himself to fight for a chance of survival for his sect head and fellow disciples.
”This is pitiful, this is... amusing!”
Seeing this, the three dream masters remained in their seating posture and did not look defeated.
The streak of golden light was extremely quick. As it arrived at the horizon, it gazed back with a tinge of unwillingness before disappearing beyond the horizon.
”Rumble!”
At this point in time, the space in the air cracked as a giant hand stretched out, grabbing the golden glow.
Venerable Golden Peak's faint voice could be heard.
”Is this... the hand of a Sage?”
On the mountain, as the middle-aged martial artist witnessed the re-capture of his sect head, tears welled up in his eyes. ”Hate! So much hate!”
”Hmph, we have spent so much effort to use you guys as bait knowing that the Imperial Court would cower in their palace. We can only take it out on you guys to appease us!”
One of the elders laughed as he commanded the translucent fire to burn the True Divine into ashes.
”Burn! Burn everything!”
”Rumble!”
The fire raged on for another day. The thousand over disciples of Golden Peak Sect were reduced to ashes, and even the mountain was reduced to a flat ground.
”This... Is this the power of a powerful being? Casually burning up places into hell...”
At the foot of the mountain, Ruan Junxian was in a daze.
As a small trooper in charged of rallying the people, he had the opportunity to witness the entire process. With this, his willingness to become a dream master became stronger.
On the second day, news of the destruction of Golden Peak Sect had spread, and all 99 regions of Da Qian remained solemn.
Any sect in the empire would now fear dream masters and would begin to establish good relations with powerful beings as backings.
Now, the Imperial Court had decided to prepare its army and war was imminent!
