Chapter 746 - Palm Descends from the Sky
Chapter 746 - Palm Descends from the Sky
Boom, boom, boom!
Heaven and earth trembled as torrents of blood rained down. Tempestuous storms ravaged the sky and land, mirroring the chaos of battle.
Desperation filled the air.
The scene could only be described as dire.
Confronted by a blood demon army that was two to three times their number, the Spring Autumn Sect members stood resolute, fighting with everything they had, heedless of the consequences.
They had no retreat; behind them lay an abyss. Cornered, their only option was to fight to the death.
Kill!
Carve a way out by killing! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Severed limbs littered the ground, blood pooling like a lake. The horrific sight churned the stomach, a testament to the brutality unfolding.
The earth split, and mountains crumbled. All sorts of powerful cultivation techniques collided fiercely.
Miserable screams mingled with battle cries, creating a haunting symphony of despair.
“Ahhh...”
A wave of bodies collapsed, each life extinguished as the harvest of death continued unabated.
“Kill! Annihilate these soulless demons!”
Yue Zhongtian, a holy disciple of the Spring Autumn Sect, radiated power. He had ascended to the seventh-level Core Formation realm, so he stood among the battlefield’s elite.
Layers of storm surged from him, drawing in blood demons and tearing them to shreds.
Swish!
A terrifying streak of sword qi tore through the sky suddenly, slicing through the chaos. It claimed several lives from the Spring Autumn Sect, its sharpness unfaltering, aimed directly at Yue Zhongtian, threatening to cleave him.
“Annihilate!” Yue Zhongtian roared as he punched out. The surrounding air collapsed, shattering the fierce sword qi into fragments.
However, an even fiercer sword qi—that transformed into a net of swords—descended to dice Yue Zhongtian into countless pieces.
It was Qin Jian. He traveled across the air, moving his sword like he was dancing. Each streak of sword qi he unleashed claimed a life as he focused his attention on Yue Zhongtian.
However, Yue Zhongtian did not panic and repeatedly struck out with his palms.
Numerous palm seals flew out, shaking heaven and earth, bombarding the net of swords sweeping down at him. The attack ripped the net apart.
“Kill!” Shocking killing intent shot out of Yue Zhongtian’s eyes. He strode forward, meeting Qin Jian head-on. A huge, intense battle broke out.
Boom, boom, boom!
Terrifying collisions played out. The noise rose and fell in succession.
The overwhelming blood qi covered an area of fifty thousand kilometers.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Several war fortresses barreled through the void, producing loud booms as their terrifying powers erupted, threatening to shatter space itself.
On the Spring Autumn Sect’s side, everyone—disciples and participants from other sects alike—fought with everything they had, either igniting their golden cores or employing the Noble Bloodshed Technique.
They poured their lives into halting the blood demon army's advance, determined to take down a few demons even at the cost of their own lives.
“Ah!” A miserable scream pierced the chaos as a blood demon tore off one of Nangong Baxiong’s arms, sending fresh blood spurting wildly.
These blood demons besieging Nangong Baxiong pressed to their advantage, executing big killing moves in unison. Cruel smiles appeared on their faces as they tried to blast Nangong Baxiong into a million pieces.
“Keke, go to hell!”
Thankfully, Nangong Yue, Nangong Qingtian, Chen Zhengqing, and the others made their moves. They sent attacks flying over to this group of blood demons, barely saving Nangong Baxiong.
Rumble!
“Big Brother, how are you?” asked Nangong Yue.
Nangong Baxiong furrowed his brow tightly, shook his head, and said, “I’m fine, it’s just an arm. I won’t die. Be careful!”
Small battles were happening everywhere in this war and death was ubiquitous.
Although the Spring Autumn Sect’s side was fearless, fighting one against many, there were just too many blood demons. A sea of ants could bite an elephant to death; unfortunately, the Spring Autumn Sect wasn’t even as strong as the elephant in this analogy.
Many Spring Autumn Sect members tragically died.
The battles of the Spring Autumn Sect’s disciples and elders were on the brink of collapse.
Meanwhile, in the skies above, nearly thirty Divine Nascent realm powerhouses fought fiercely.
Feng Baiyu’s white robe had long since turned crimson. Even though he had used the Noble Bloodshed Technique to boost his cultivation, he struggled against a genuine third-level Divine Nascent realm blood demon expert. His severe injuries left him fighting for survival.
Boom!
The blood demon commander executed the Blood Sea Flips the Heaven. Feng Baiyu was sent flying ten thousand meters away, spewing blood along the way. A blood-colored palm print appeared on his chest, and his aura began to wane.
“Give up, Feng Baiyu. No matter how hard you struggle, you can’t change the ending! Our Blood Demon Cave will rule the Hong Domain from now on! You people are still somewhat useful. If you know what’s good for you, submit to us. Let me plant the Blood Servant Seal on you, become a blood servant, and conquer the lands for our Blood Demon Cave. That way, you can still live, albeit an ignoble existence. Otherwise, today shall be your last!”
The blood demon commander smiled, looking at Feng Baiyu.
Although the Blood Demon Cave was powerful, Divine Nascent realm experts were still the core combat forces. Converting Feng Baiyu and the others would be a valuable option for conquering the lands.
“Ptooi!”
Feng Baiyu took a deep breath, unfazed by the offer. He executed a secret art to stimulate his potential, and his declining aura instantly surged back to its peak as he charged toward the blood demon commander again.
“What an obstinate fellow. You leave me with no choice but to slaughter you people!” The blood demon commander smiled cruelly, thick killing intent showing in his eyes.
“Ah!” A miserable cry echoed from above the nine heavens as a Divine Nascent realm expert exploded, dissolving into a mist of blood, leaving only his divine nascent in the void, filled with terror.
The Divine Nascent realm expert was from the Spring Autumn Sect’s side. Facing two blood demon powerhouses’ siege, he stood no chance. His loss was a devastating blow to the Spring Autumn Sect.
Boom, tch!
A blood demon unleashed a palm strike. A terrifying blood wave roared, annihilating this Divine Nascent realm expert’s divine nascent.
A Divine Nascent realm powerhouse had perished on the Spring Autumn Sect’s side.
“Hahahaha, kill!” Those two blood demon powerhouses laughed maniacally before splitting off to engage in separate battlefields.
Rumble!
Terrifying fluctuations erupted, followed by the angry roars of Divine Nascent realm powerhouses ringing out non-stop.
Below, the Spring Autumn Sect’s side was pushed back repeatedly.
The remaining members found themselves surrounded, with blood demons relentlessly rushing in from all directions, causing experts to die one after another.
“Does the heavens want to erase our Spring Autumn Sect?” Wang Hui let out a furious roar of indignation. He burst into flames and charged toward a third-level Core Formation realm blood demon to take him down with him. [1]
However, the gap was simply too big. Although they faced mutual destruction, it did nothing to improve the situation.
Above the nine heavens, another Divine Nascent realm powerhouse died.
The people on the Spring Autumn Sect’s side were all in absolute despair.
“Die!” An eighth-level Core Formation realm blood demon expert struck out with a palm. A large, blood-colored hand blasted toward Nangong Yue, Chen Zhengqing, and the others with incomparably terrifying momentum.
Their expressions shifted drastically as they realized they could not withstand the blood demon expert’s attack; the disparity in strength was overwhelming. They could only watch as the blood palm fell.
“Xiaoyue, let’s become husband and wife again in our next life!” Chen Zhengqing smiled, still fearless in the face of death. He held Nangong Yue’s hand, calmly facing the blood palm.
After eighteen years apart, they were reunited only to confront this dire crisis.
Time and fate had turned against them.
“Yes!” Nangong Yue also held Chen Zhengqing’s hand tightly with her eyes closed, ready to meet their end.
Suddenly, an enormous golden palm, ten thousand meters wide, descended from the sky with unimaginable speed.
Rumble, rumble!
Heaven and earth shook under this enormous golden palm, causing everyone to sway unsteadily.
The sudden turn of events left everyone present dumbfounded.
Rumble!
The enormous golden palm pressed down.
Heaven and earth shook violently as mountains crumbled and the earth cracked open, stirring clouds of dust that rose ten thousand feet high.
The Spring Autumn Sect members found themselves engulfed by the descending palm as if all were annihilated beneath its weight.
