Chapter 468 - The Bloody Battle of the Five Emperors (1/2)

It was getting increasingly chaotic at Central Peak. Xiao Chen was on a rampage, massacring countless Mo family members. The clothes on his back had long been dyed a vivid red, both of his blood and his enemies. He was almost deranged now, acting like a God of Murder that had climbed out of the depths of hell. Everyone was left shaken in their boots.

The Mo family was about to collapse entirely. The heavily injured Mo Jinyan spat out a mouthful of blood. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to flee, but Xiao Chen caught sight of him from the corner of his eyes and yelled, “Where do you think you’re going?” He leaped into the air and swung his saber down.

“Watch out, Jinyan!” The man in cyan who joined Chu Lingjiao’s night ambush of Huangfu Xin’er immediately blocked the attack. Unfortunately, his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation was no match for Xiao Chen’s fierce attack. “Puff!” And he was now just a fog of blood.

“Qinghe!” Mo Jinyan’s eyes widened. That was his childhood friend! He was bursting from anger at seeing his friend die so tragically in Xiao Chen’s hands. He screamed, “Xiao Chen! Even if I become a Blood Demon in the future, I swear I’ll kill you!”

“You’ve lost your chance!” Xiao Chen retorted, and swung his saber once again. This attack was even fiercer than the one before it. An old man over sixties came running and yelled, “Run, Young Master!” He then exhausted half of his lifespan to transform into a blood fog and spirited Mo Jinyan away.

Chu Lingjiao knew that the Mo family’s fate had been decided and there was no longer any chance for them to make a comeback. She was about to run without a second thought when she heard Huangfu Xin’er shout, “Leave the thing behind!” Huangfu Xin’er turned herself into a red light and came charging at her.

Chu Lingjiao was frightened out of her wits. She instantly whipped out a scroll and tossed it to her. “It’s yours; it’s yours!” Huangfu Xin’er caught the scroll, but by the time she looked again, Chu Lingjiao was nowhere to be seen.

In another part of the summit, Mo Yu and Mo Wen were shaken to their cores. They, too, wanted to run but happened to catch Xiao Chen’s attention. Xiao Chen knew he must not let Mo Yu live or the latter would surely become a great danger to him in the future. He cried, “Stop them!”

The twelve ladies of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon set into motion and were instantly in front of the two men. They came with such fierce momentum that Mo Wen turned pale. He cried, “You have to stay safe! Run!” At the end of his sentence, a blood fog came into materialization. Mo Yu had turned into the blood-red light to escape.

However, in the next second, the sound of blade penetrating flesh rang out again and again. The ladies had slashed Mo Wen into seven or eight pieces, spilling blood and limbs everywhere. Just like that, Mo Wen was no more.

“Wen’er!”

The corners of Mo Tiannan’s eyes threatened to crack at the sight of Mo Wen’s tragic death. Most of their family’s young elite disciples were also dead. He yelled at the eight elite Nirvana Realm disciples, “I’ll keep the puppet occupied! You all work together to lay down the Heaven Extermination Sword Formation. We must kill him!” He bit his tongue hard enough until he drew blood and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood on the hollow of his palm. He drew a spell, and fogs of blood instantly filled his surroundings. Mo Tiannan’s aura also exploded several times over in an instant. He charged at the spiritual wooden puppet like a bolt of red light.

“Twang!” A loud sound of collision shattered the air. The spiritual wooden puppet was sent tumbling backward tens of feet. Mo Tiannan’s attack was surely extraordinarily powerful for he had sacrificed thirty percent of his lifespan for it.

When the eight elite Nirvana Realm disciples saw that the puppet was being suppressed, they immediately leaped into the air and each spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. This was their Mo family’s secret blood spell. The disciples worked together to lay down a massive sword formation in the sky that gave off a golden glow. They immediately pointed the formation in Xiao Chen’s direction.

The wind swiftly picked up and the skies paled in color. The sword formation that gave off a golden glow continued to expand until it enveloped nearly half of the summit. The formation was lined with layers of ancient spells. This was the Mo family’s Heaven Extermination Sword Formation.

The eight disciples were reaching the limit of their True Energy exhaustion. All of them were frighteningly white in the face. Finally, a thousand-foot-long golden sword appeared in the heart of the formation and came swinging down on Xiao Chen.

The weather took a sharp change as all living things shuddered from the pressure of the sword. The sword came down with a groundbreaking momentum, like the weight of the blue dome of heaven, and aimed for Xiao Chen’s back. Even the cultivators standing thousands of feet away were sent tumbling from the gale that came alongside the sword.

“Watch out, my Lord!”

Following a cry, Qingluan had already put herself in front of the sword. Xiao Chen, who had detected the oncoming frightening attack and heard Qingluan’s warning, knew that things were about to go very, very bad. He yelled, “Get out of the way!” He turned his body as he spoke, pushing Qingluan aside. However, he was ultimately still too late. Guifeng had also put himself in front of him.

“KABOOM!”

The loud explosion caused all five peaks to shudder. Guifeng had taken most of the sword’s impact. His armor fell in countless pieces. Qingluan was also sent flying from the hint of the sword’s force, all while coughing up blood.

Her blood formed a parabola in the air. Like a dried-up butterfly, she collapsed weakly on the ground with the Royal-blood Cyan Blade in her hand shattered into pieces.

“Qingluan!” Xiao Chen’s eyes widened. He ran over to her like a bolt of lightning.

Ziyun’er, who was doing her utmost to fight her enemies far away, felt a sudden and throbbing pain in her heart. She and Qingluan were connected by blood. She knew that the latter was in trouble and that the Royal-blood Cyan Blade was also shattered. Her own weapon, the Royal-blood Purple Blade, was also shaking and whining nonstop.

“Sister!” When Ziyun’er turned around, her face immediately turned pale. She instantly cut down two of the Mo family’s disciples and flew over like a bolt of purple light.

“Sister!” With tears streaming down her face, Ziyun’er helped Qingluan up. Blood was gushing out of Qingluan’s mouth like a leaking faucet. Regardless of how much True Energy that Xiao Chen poured into her body, it seemed to make no difference. Her five viscera and six bowels were utterly destroyed. Even her soul was heavily injured. Perhaps not even Gui Xian would be able to perform a miracle here.
