Chapter 1353

Blood sprayed out.

Jin Peng, the Sacred Ancestor, his face filled with pain, yet could not break free.

He knew, this time he was certain to die.

He understood clearly: the opponent did not even deign to use ambush to finish him.

Thus, after a shriek, he closed his eyes completely.

And at this moment, upon the grand hall.

Ximen Wudi looked down at the many elders and spoke.

"From now on, all of you close yourselves in seclusion.

If any of you dare slack off, don't blame me for being merciless!"

His voice was filled with brutality.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, no one dared speak more.

They could only bow their heads and respond.

Then, they hurriedly withdrew.

This day in the Xia Empire Palace was destined to be extraordinary.

A Saint of the Ninth Layer had perished.

Enough to shake any power to its core.

And on the other side, after Tong Xiangyu had defeated all of the Jin Peng Clan's people.

He did not pause.

He directly led his army back.

He understood in his heart.

If he continued to delay, when Jin Chida arrived, Ximen Wudi would be unable to hold him off.

Moreover, there was another point: he was very interested in the Jin Peng Clan's treasure vault.

Yet, just as they prepared to leave,

Dozens of streaks of light surged out from within the city.

These residents were all members of the Jin Peng Clan.

They had been dispatched by the Jin Peng King to gather intelligence.

But now they discovered their clan lord had perished.

Thus, how could they dare hesitate?

At this moment, they had almost gathered every expert within the clan.

"Boom!"

The foremost figure was a Saint of the Fifth Layer.

As he neared Tong Xiangyu, he showed no hesitation.

His sharp sword slashed down fiercely.

A blazing sword aura descended upon Tong Xiangyu.

Yet at this moment, the opponent.

Had no intention of dodging at all.

His massive axe thrust forward directly.

"Ssshh!"

Blood gushed out.

The expert instantly turned to shredded flesh and fell to the ground.

This scene sent chills through the heart.

And those Saints of the Seventh and Eighth Layers now paid no heed to anything else.

They charged straight at Ximen Wudi.

These people were not weak in cultivation, and their numbers were vast.

Causing Ximen Wudi's brow to furrow.

But his lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

His weapon swept through the air.

Vast energy erupted outward.

Wherever it passed, those experts offered almost no resistance.

They were cut down instantly.

And seeing this scene,

Those upon the city walls could not help but draw in a sharp breath.

"This Han Emperor is too cruel!"

Someone spoke.

"How could such a person be fit to be Emperor of Han?

He's nothing but a demon!"

"True! They've killed all of the Jin Peng Clan—do they truly intend to wipe them out completely?"

At this moment, disciples from various clans were murmuring among themselves.

Fear shone in their eyes.

They felt that the men of Great Han seemed even more cruel than the ferocious beasts.

Not only did they kill without mercy, but they were also heartless and ruthless.

If one day Great Han turned against Great Han, who could stand against them?

And at this very moment.

Ximen Wudi had already ended the battle.

Radiant auroras emanated from his body.

The long sword in his hand dripped blood continuously.

Bloodthirsty light gleamed in his eyes.

"Kill! Let the soldiers of Great Han enjoy their final ecstasy!"

As the voice rang out, thick killing intent filled the entire imperial city.

Then, the army of Great Han charged down like a swarm of locusts.

This time, they would reap lives.

Large, massive heads fell to the ground.

This battle could be called utterly satisfying.

The soldiers of Great Han fought with exhilaration.

At this moment, Ximen Wudi stood in midair.

Fierce, menacing light glowed in his eyes.

"Boom—!"

Just after his words faded.

From afar, waves of battle cries echoed.

It was the reinforcements from the Jin Peng Clan arriving.

When they appeared,

The entire street was shrouded in blood mist.

"Roar!"

Massive avian beasts circled in midair.

Emitting vast, overwhelming energy.

"The Jin Peng King has come! We have hope!"
