Chapter 174: Extermination!

"Huh, this guy is moving, and he's flying towards my direction. He's fast."

"This is the Right Protector Youming You, at the Sacred Late-stage."

"This guy is Zhang Fan's master."

"It seems he's come to Maiguzhidi to verify the truth of his disciple's death. It's a stroke of luck; if you were all together, I would have to put in some effort, but since you're acting alone, you've saved me a lot of trouble."

Ma Hongjun, who was flying in the form of a Phoenix Transformation, looked at the moving red dot on the screen before him and revealed a treacherous smile.

So, he decided to fly directly to meet this person.

Youming You, who was flying at high speed, frowned; suddenly, he felt something malicious land upon him.

"Could it be my imagination?" Youming You wondered.

After reaching the Sacred Realm, their premonitions were always very accurate.

Looking at the Rainbow Light rapidly flying towards him not far away, his pupils constricted, and he understood that this was no illusion; he had truly been targeted by someone.

Youming You stopped immediately and unleashed the Divine Skill: Youming Yellow Springs Palm, striking out.

The reason he attacked directly was that he felt a strong murderous intent directed at him from within this Rainbow Light. Since that was the case, it was better to strike first and seize the initiative.

His intuition as a late-stage Saint told him that the Rainbow Light before him was likely closely related to his deceased beloved disciple, Zhang Fan.

A massive black palm emerged from the sky, descending with the surging pressure of the Sacred Late-stage. Under normal circumstances, anyone below the Sacred Late-stage would be crippled if not killed by this terrifying blow.

But he did not intend to kill Ma Hongjun directly; instead, he planned to capture him alive to interrogate him about Zhang Fan's whereabouts.

He still harbored a glimmer of hope in his heart, believing that Zhang Fan might not be dead.

"Attacking the moment you arrive? The display is indeed quite impressive, but I don't indulge you," Ma Hongjun said indifferently.

He stopped moving forward, and the Wutong Divine Tree appeared on his body, illuminating the heavens and earth.

The giant palm that struck out entered the range of his Domain and was forcibly weakened.

The portion that was weakened was directly added to Ma Hongjun's own power.

Subsequently, he condensed his strength and unleashed the Great Divine Ability: Chaos Opening Slash! Time and space stopped, and a sharp blade emerged from the chaos, shattering the Youming Yellow Springs Palm and descending straight toward Youming You himself.

"No! What kind of move is this!? How can it be so terrifying!?"

Youming You's pupils constricted, and just as he wanted to dodge, it was already too late, for the surrounding time and space had been stopped, and his physical body could not move.

He watched helplessly as the chaotic blade split his body apart, annihilating both his flesh and soul.

Good heavens, a Sacred Late-stage expert had been killed in seconds just like that.

It was simply like a joke.

"Done."

Ma Hongjun exhaled, mobilized the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to recover the energy he had lost, and took a ring that appeared in the sky; there were many treasures inside, and he had made a huge profit this time.

Now that the Netherworld Mansion had lost a Sacred Late-stage combatant, it would be even easier than before to wipe out the Netherworld Mansion.

He continued flying toward the Netherworld Mansion.

He might as well go all the way and exterminate the sect.

He was looking forward to what rewards the system would give this time.

The Netherworld Mansion.

Crack!

A Life Tablet belonging to the Right Protector Elder shattered.

The Mansion Master of the Netherworld Mansion and the Left Protector Youming Zuo sensed it instantly, their expressions changing drastically: "The Right has fallen!"

"How could this be? He was at the Sacred Late-stage, his strength was quite terrifying; how could he have been killed?"

"Could it be that a God Emperor has appeared in Maiguzhidi!?"

The Left Protector Youming Zuo desperately wanted to avenge the Right Protector.

But if it involved the existence of a God Emperor Realm, then they would be powerless to do anything.

Thinking of this, their expressions turned grave. "Quick, summon all disciples outside to return; the Netherworld Mansion needs to close its mountain gates for the time being!" the Mansion Master of the Netherworld Mansion immediately issued the order.

They were afraid.

Once it involved an existence at the level of a God Emperor, they could no longer use revenge to settle the score.

They had to plan carefully before acting.

To seek revenge, all they could do was choose to join a power that possessed a God Emperor, or hope someone within the Netherworld Mansion stepped into the Great Emperor Realm.

"The Right cannot die in vain; we must find a way to take revenge," the Left Protector Elder Youming Zuo said in a deep voice.

Their relationship was very close, and now that the Right Protector Youming You had died so inexplicably, he absolutely could not let it go just like that.

"But that involves a God Emperor Realm existence. Even if we join a power that possesses a God Emperor, would others offend a God Emperor Realm existence for the sake of a dead Sacred Realm expert?" The Mansion Master of the Netherworld Mansion felt heavy-hearted and sighed.

How could he not want revenge? But they were simply unable to do it! Hearing this, the Left Protector Youming Zuo fell silent.

"Previously, the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground invited us to become their vassals; perhaps we can consider it. What if it works?"

He spoke up.

The Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground was an absolute behemoth; even their territory fell under the jurisdiction of that power. It was an Emperor-level force of super-giant proportions that possessed God Emperor Realm existences!

Moreover, there was more than one powerhouse at the God Emperor Realm! Rumor had it there were three! This was a truly terrifying number! Before the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground, the Netherworld Mansion was nothing but scum.

"There is no need for that; we were only guessing before."

"The one who killed him might not necessarily be a God Emperor; it could also be a Sacred Peak-Stage, Sacred Consummation, or Sacred Great Perfection."

"We have already verified that place, Maiguzhidi; there is indeed no God Emperor there."

"Even so, it is not something we can avenge; we simply cannot beat them. Do you want to let the Old Ancestor emerge? He is our final trump card, and we must absolutely not use him unless it is a last resort."

"Given the state of his injuries, once he is summoned, it will likely be the day of his passing."

Just as the Mansion Master of the Netherworld Mansion finished speaking, the Left Protector Youming Zuo began to argue.

"If that is the case, then I will send a reply to the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground now."

In the end, the Master of the Netherworld Mansion made a decision.

"Being able to become a vassal of a Sacred Land is actually not shameful."

"Perhaps our Netherworld Mansion will rise to a higher level because of this! It is even possible for a God Emperor to appear in the future!"

The Left Protector of the Netherworld said.

"I hope so."

The Master of the Netherworld Mansion sighed, crushed a Jade Slip in his hand, and the Jade Slip turned into a clear stream, quickly disappearing within the Netherworld Mansion.

Boom—!!! At this very moment, a huge explosion sounded outside.

The entire Netherworld Mansion began to shake.

"We are under attack!"

The Master of the Netherworld Mansion and the Left Protector Elder looked at each other, their expressions changing drastically.

They immediately flew out.

Seeing the scene before them, their pupils instantly constricted, revealing a fire of extreme rage.

They saw that in the sea of fire ahead, the disciples of the Netherworld Mansion were lying within, burned into ashes, without even a shred of power to resist!

"Who is it!"

The aura of the Sacred Realm surged from the two of them.

Finally, they locked onto a long-haired man holding a long spear within the sea of fire.

He slowly walked toward the two of them.

In this short amount of time, the disciples of the Netherworld Mansion had actually been completely wiped out!

It was too terrifying!

This was simply a god of slaughter! (End of chapter)
