Chapter 470: The Black Hand of the Shadow Grand Elder

The three were heading to kill Sima Da; Sima Da must die, that is the consensus of the three.

Wang Chu, Bai Potian, and Zhang Dongguo would not let their own clansmen die in vain, nor would they let their respective families let the Sima family off; those who left will ultimately have to pay the price.

The three attacked with fists and feet, giving Sima Da no chance; their time was limited, they could not drag out the fight with Sima Da.

Sima Da kept retreating, vomiting blood continuously; the desperate three saw their combat power surge, they dared not act against Chen Chuyang or Qi Ruohua and her companions, only against him.

The dead bodies continuously exuded thick resentment; blood stained the palace red.

The prolonged battle saw the strong ones leave, not daring to act, slipping away secretly; the remaining people either lived or died, with no third option, from the moment they entered the palace their death was already decided.

The Eldest Princess watched this scene, her heart shocked beyond measure, frightened by Chen Chuyang's methods and awed by his ruthlessness; this person either does nothing or goes straight for killing.

"This time, he really helped me a lot; the Sima family people don't need me to act, they will naturally wipe themselves out."

"The people of the three major families don't need my attention for now; I can gain a buffer time, once I fully control the palace inside and out, and control the Great Qi Dynasty, then I will slowly act against these families."

Her Great Qi Dynasty cannot allow so many families to exist, especially these powerful families, which could at any time threaten the survival of the Qi family; if it weren't for Chen Chuyang, these people might have succeeded, and she would have become their blade's victim.

The consequences of her father's hesitation must be cleared away by her.

She will not allow these threats to exist; she must eliminate them early.

Jing Yuheng exclaimed, "When Chen Chuyang acts, everything is over."

"These families will eventually fall as well."

"Schemes and tricks are futile before absolute strength."

Chen Chuyang folded his arms, watching Sima Da, being pressed step by step, continually retreating, his wounds worsening.

"Bang."

Sima Da fell to the ground; Bai Potian threw a desperate punch, smashing his head; Bai Potian then landed, pressing on Sima Da, bones breaking, blood gushing continuously.

Bai Potian knelt on the ground; his body had also reached its limit.

Unable to continue fighting, he tightly pressed down on Sima Da, binding and imprisoning him.

"Cough cough cough."

Seeing this, Wang Chu did not hesitate and unleashed his ultimate killing move.

"Sima Da, go die."

The divine ability emerged, his body huge, behind him coalesced a colossal giant, as if holding up the heavens.

That expanse of sky pressed down upon Sima Da.

Together with Bai Potian, this divine ability consumed all of his true qi.

Moreover, his life force burned everything, killing Sima Da.

"Bump the heavens."

The divine ability shattered the heavens, using the power of heaven and earth, to kill Sima Da.

This move is his trump card, also the divine ability he had concealed for a long time.

"Boom—."

The entire palace trembled, many formations shattered, hall after hall turned into ruins.

The immense destructive force swept outward, aiming to overturn the entire capital.

There are not few people in the capital; once this technique spreads, ordinary people will suffer countless casualties.

Chen Chuyang pressed with his right hand, sealing the interior of the palace; this explosive energy could not spread outward.

Everything exploded inside the palace; the poor palace's halls and formations were one by one shattered.

The people inside, once again subjected to the impact, suffered countless casualties.

The Eldest Princess and others were flung to the edge of the palace, unable to leave; they endured this divine ability, inwardly wanting to curse.

"Cough cough cough."

Qi Ruohua coughed incessantly; before her eyes the entire palace lay in ruins, with no intact spot.

She wiped her eyes, looked toward the capital behind her, which was unaffected.

She exhaled a breath; smoke and dust enveloped everything, only after a while did they dissipate.

Chen Chuyang stood there, uncontrolled; the black goat beside him was likewise motionless.

But they were not so fortunate; the white wolf and the Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master choked up, staring at this scene.

In the huge pit, Sima Da and Bai Potian lay at its center, bereft of breath.

Wang Chu's body likewise fell, crashing to the ground, losing the protection of true qi and losing consciousness.

Zhang Dongguo also fared poorly; with a little true qi and life left, he was flung by this move, his final means unusable, he sat on the ground gasping heavily, his flesh visibly aged, skin wrinkles deepening.

That face instantly aged, his hair turned white.

Three people, no, four people, were already near death.

Those whose lifespans had been burned to exhaustion—how pitiful they were at this moment.

Inside and outside the palace, few people remained alive.

Chen Chuyang saw this, walked over, found Sima Da, who had fainted, leaving only a last breath, beyond even divine healing.

"He's dead—pitiful, sad, lamentable."

"Besides Bai Potian and Wang Chu, they are also near death."

Chen Chuyang raised his hand, waved it, and flames began to burn.

Four clumps of fire fell upon them, starting the incineration.

The merged pill fire, upon touching flesh, instantly ignited.

In less than a few breaths, their bodies were completely burned away.

Henceforth, the heads of the four families, leading their people, were nearly wiped out; aside from the batch of Sima family disciples who had left, everyone else perished in the palace.

The palace's strife is now at an end.

Chen Chuyang crossed his arms, looked toward the back, at the Wanggong drenched in fresh blood and resentment soaring to the heavens, and shook his head.

The Heishanyang beside him opened its mouth and swallowed all the resentment.

One gulp, it was delicious; it still wasn't satisfied and licked its lips.

"The taste is not bad; following you, kid, there's good food to eat out here."

Qi Ruohua and the others stood up, came before Chen Chuyang, clasped their hands and said: "The grace of saving our lives cannot be thanked enough."

The following words, Chen Chuyang didn't need to hear; he already knew what she would say, and hurriedly interrupted her speech.

"This is our deal."

Qi Ruohua smiled; her pale face smiled.

In an instant, blossoms swayed.

Jing Yuheng glanced at Qi Ruohua in surprise; regarding the Eldest Princess's thoughts, she understood them best, and no one had ever made the Eldest Princess like this.

"Your Highness you..." Deep inside, Jing Yuheng gave a bitter smile.

Finally someone entered the Eldest Princess's discerning eye; it's a pity, the Eldest Princess appeared too late.

Chen Chuyang, this person's name is already taken, perhaps...

The harmonious couple may not accept the Princess.

On the other side.

The Elder who had entered the forest lurked in hiding.

He stared at the Yin Killer Holy Son and Zhuge Ruolan who followed behind, waiting for them to fall into his trap.

"Just a little bit more."

"Zhuge Ruolan, Yin Killer Holy Son, you..."
