Chapter 1617: Chapter 1606: Too Late to Beg for Mercy
No one present expected this.
From the Glazed Glass Palace, five Nirvana Realm ancient demonic beasts charged out, with three even at the fifth layer of the Nirvana Realm. Coupled with so many Reincarnation Realm and Creation Realm beasts, it would be more than enough to destroy a First Grade sect.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Chen Hejiang, Du Beinian, and the others, who were trembling all over. He smiled and said, "Now you can make your move. Weren’t you trying to subdue these ancient beasts?"
"Awooo!"
"Roar!"
...
Apart from the three beast leaders—the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python, Ancient Dragon Lizard, and Ice Soul Demon Spider—no other ancient demonic beast stopped roaring. Their eyes were blood-red, scanning the surrounding people with violence in their gaze.
In the eyes of these ancient beasts, the surrounding human cultivators were delicious food. It had been far too long since they had tasted fresh, bloody meat.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in the square had become so dense it could be cut with a knife.
The Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python, Ancient Dragon Lizard, and Ice Soul Demon Spider, these sworn brothers, had not taken human form. They sensed this world, worry in their eyes.
The Ancient Dragon Lizard said to the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python, "Big brother, the spiritual energy in this world is too thin. It might not be enough for us to regain our peak strength from back in the day."
The Ice Soul Demon Spider followed by saying, "That’s right. What has happened in this world during our sealed years?"
The Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python’s scales gleamed with dazzling light, and it sighed, "Let’s help the boy deal with the immediate trouble first! I have a vague sense of something. This world can only let people cultivate up to the peak of the fifth layer of the Nirvana Realm at most."
Chen Hejiang, the Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, looked at the terrifyingly ferocious beasts. After a moment, his mind was able to think again. His inner panic was overwhelming, but he tried to stay calm and shouted at Ye Chenfeng, "You, do you know what you’re doing? My Hall of Sea Gods is a Second Grade sect, and Spiritual Medicine Valley and Refining Sect hold extraordinary status in the Earth Profound Realm. Do you want to become the public enemy of the Earth Profound Realm?"
At this moment, Chen Hejiang had already given up the idea of taking down Ye Chenfeng. He just wanted to save his life, so he spoke righteously.
Du Beinian, the ancestor of Spiritual Medicine Valley, his face twitching, said, "Boy, have you lost your mind?"
The Sect Master of Refining Sect, Wang Zhenshan, the Sect Master of Spiritual Medicine Valley, Nan Haosheng, and Song Longtian, among others, all looked fearfully at Ye Chenfeng and the ferocious beasts ready to attack. They knew today’s trouble was truly serious.
Although deep down they wished they could smash Ye Chenfeng into pieces, they no longer had that capability.
If these ancient demonic beasts acted together, they would surely be dead today.
Just moments ago, they were still daydreaming about subduing the ancient beasts, forcing out all the secrets from Ye Chenfeng, and then letting him die in torment.
But now, the situation had flipped one-hundred-eighty degrees. They became the weak ones in front of Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng laughed out loud at Chen Hejiang’s righteous words and said, "Hahaha, are you threatening me? The public enemy of the entire Earth Profound Realm?"
Ye Chenfeng’s laughter was exceedingly audacious, and he said disdainfully, "Originally, I just came to take Xin Yi. After defeating Jiang Motian, you should have allowed me to take Xin Yi. But what did you do?"
"Fine, I had less strength than you, so I stepped back. Then I fought against Song Chunmei and defeated her. After that, you should have let me take Xin Yi, right? But what did you say? It was bullshit."
"I admit, I have enmity with the Hall of Sea Gods. The Supreme Elder Song Haiyun, you could say, died at my hands. But Song Haiyun attacked me first. Was I supposed to let him live and stick my neck out for him to kill?"
"And the Refining Sect’s inner elder Zhu Wenchang, he sought trouble with me. I challenged him to an artifact refining competition, and he lost to me. Killing him was entirely fair."
"As for the death of the Refining Sect’s Great Elder, do you think the Refining Sect is that significant? To ignore our lives? The Great Elder’s death was well deserved too."
"Talking about Spiritual Medicine Valley, if it weren’t for your indiscretion outside Medicine King City back then, if you hadn’t cornered me, would I have destroyed Medicine King City? Would I have massacred outside Medicine King City?"
Ye Chenfeng’s voice was strong and powerful. He had always kept a low profile, but these fools kept forcing him to show off. What could he do about it?
After pausing for a moment, Ye Chenfeng continued to shout, "Today, you’re the ones forcing me to reveal my trump cards one by one. Without these cards, I would’ve probably been dead by now, right?"
"Now that you see I have so many ancient beasts to help me, you’re frightened? You want to reconcile? Who do you think you are? Perhaps in the eyes of others you’re someone, but in my eyes, Ye Chenfeng, you’re not even worth a fart."
Chen Hejiang and Du Beinian trembled with anger, and Ye Chenfeng no longer talked nonsense. He said to the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python, "Leave no one other than the two sects at the square’s entrance."
The Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python nodded, letting out a command. The other ancient demonic beasts immediately began attacking the people around the square.
The Ancient Dragon Lizard and Ice Soul Demon Spider were also eager to join in. As beasts, they loved flesh and joined the fight.
Only the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python remained by Ye Chenfeng’s side.
Whether sect masters or disciples of the major sects on the square, anyone trying to escape was the first to be dealt with by the ancient demonic beasts. No one escaped the square.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! —"
Screams echoed on the square. Those who chose to be the lapdogs of sects like Refining Sect, those who had just mocked Ye Chenfeng, begged him desperately.
"Spare us, spare us. We have no enmity with you. You can’t kill indiscriminately."
"Yes, yes, you can’t do this. We haven’t offended you."
...
Listening to the pleading around him, Ye Chenfeng indifferently shouted, "I gave you a chance to live. You chose to be the lapdogs of these sects. Who could you blame? Rest easy as you depart."
"No, no..."
On the square, sect masters and disciples shouted in pain. Some took out jade tokens for communication, sending distress calls to cultivators in the closest city to the Yinming Sect.
This, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t stop. However, if anyone dared meddle, they would be sent directly to see King Yama.
The Ice Soul Demon Spider faced off against Chen Hejiang, and the Ancient Dragon Lizard faced off against Du Beinian.
Although Chen Hejiang and Du Beinian were Nirvana Realm powerhouses, they were powerless against the Ice Soul Demon Spider and Ancient Dragon Lizard. Soon, these two old men were dealt with. At this moment, the Ice Soul Demon Spider and Ancient Dragon Lizard were feasting on the old men’s flesh and blood.
Sect Masters like Wang Zhenshan of the Refining Sect, Nan Haosheng of Spiritual Medicine Valley, and Song Longtian were truly terrified.
Now that the only two remaining Nirvana Realm powerhouses were dead, Wang Zhenshan and the others were in utter despair.
Not wanting to die, Song Longtian was the first to kneel, shouting, "Spare me. I will agree to anything."
As Song Longtian knelt, Wang Zhenshan and Nan Haosheng, looking at the terrifying beasts, also gave up the dignity of sect masters. They were used to even First Grade sects giving them face.
But now, to survive, Wang Zhenshan and Nan Haosheng also knelt, shouting, "Spare our lives."
Ye Chenfeng remained cold, saying, "Pardon you?"
He spoke no more.
Soon, Song Longtian, Wang Zhenshan, and the others were devoured by the ancient demonic beasts.
No one escaped the square.
