Get lost!
The Scarlet King did not even use a Spirit Ability. He simply and casually swung his large right hand forward, acting as if he were shooing away a tiny fly. His speed was incredibly fast, allowing him to strike first even though he had moved second. With perfect accuracy, his hand slapped the shocked face of the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, who was leading the fierce attack at the very front.
A loud smack echoed through the area. The sound of the physical impact was not very deep, but it was exceptionally crisp and clear.
Then, under the unbelievable gaze of everyone present, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect was hit head-on. He was an attack system Titled Douluo with a spirit power rank as high as rank ninety-five, yet he was thrown back as if a giant mountain had crashed into him.
Before he could even let out a single scream, his body turned into a blurry afterimage. He flew backward like a cannonball, moving at a speed that was much faster than his initial charge.
With a loud crash, he smashed through three remaining palace walls one after another. His body plowed a deep trench several dozen meters long into the ground before he finally stopped moving. He was completely buried beneath the heavy rubble, and no one could tell if he was still alive or dead.
A deathly silence filled the entire surroundings. This sudden and violent scene left every single person completely stunned.
The cold smiles and heavy killing intent on the faces of the other three Clear Sky Sect Elders instantly froze. Their expressions turned into deep shock and pure terror. They had been following right behind the Second Elder to join the attack, but now they could not move.
The giant Clear Sky Hammers in their hands froze mid-air. Because their powerful attacks were forced to stop so suddenly, the gathered spirit power caused a violent backlash inside their bodies. This forced stoppage made their blood and energy churn wildly, turning their faces a bright, flushed red.
In the very next second, the three Clear Sky Sect Elders did not care about the pain of their churning blood and energy anymore. They relied entirely on their battle instincts and chose to stop their attacks without any hesitation. Their spirit power exploded underneath their feet, and they retreated backward as fast as they could, looking as if they had just received a massive electric shock.
Right after that, the three of them gathered close together. Their spirit power merged into a single force as they took a strict defensive stance. They stared at the suddenly appearing red figure in front of them, looking exactly like they were facing a terrifying enemy. Only at that moment did they finally remember their brother who had been slapped away so easily.
Second Brother!
Second Elder!
The three remaining Elders were both deeply shocked and furious. They chose to ignore the confrontation for a brief moment, and two of them quickly rushed over to the ruined walls. Their spirit power surged out as they quickly pushed away the broken stones and rubble.
They carefully lifted the heavily injured Second Elder out of the dirt. Half of his face was swollen to a terrible size, turning dark blue and purple, and dried blood hung from the corner of his mouth. He looked completely miserable.
At this moment, he did not have even a small fraction of his previous proud attitude when he was commanding the crowd.
Who are you? How dare you interfere with the internal matters of our Clear Sky Sect? You even dared to strike me! State your name right now!
The Second Elder stared fixedly at the red-haired man before him. His eyes were bloodshot, and the man looked like a fiery demon god. The Second Elder forced himself to swallow his humiliation and fear, questioning the giant man in a sharp, angry voice.
The response he received was a burst of arrogant and wild laughter from the Scarlet King. His loud laughter made the surrounding air shake violently, filled with complete contempt and mockery.
Clear Sky Sect? Internal matters?
The Scarlet King picked at his ear with a finger, acting as if he had just heard an incredibly funny joke. His large, blood-red eyes were full of sarcasm as he spat out his words.
I do not give a single damn about your foolish Clear Sky Sect! You are just a bunch of cowards hiding away in the deep mountains and old forests. You rely entirely on the small legacy left behind by your ancestors just to call yourselves the number one Sect in the world. You walk around with your noses in the air, thinking you are special!
As he spoke, he pointed his large hand directly at the members of the Clear Sky Sect. His saliva almost sprayed onto their faces as his loud words exploded like cannonballs.
I decided to interfere, so what can you do about it? You shameless old men! You are seniors bullying the younger generation, and you use your numbers to overwhelm the few. When you lose a fair bet, you immediately turn your backs and refuse to accept it. Then you try to take the opportunity to kill people just to keep them quiet!
If the ancestors of your Clear Sky Sect knew they had such thick-skinned, sore-losing, and dishonest descendants like you, they would be so angry that their coffin lids would fly open! They would jump right out of their graves and personally hammer you embarrassing fools into the dirt to become fertilizer for the plants!
The number one Sect in the world? What a joke! I think it is the number one most shameless Sect in the entire world! Years ago, when major trouble came to your door, you forced your own subordinates to take the blame and die for you! Now, you come out here acting tough and relying entirely on your old age!
Whatever respect your ancestors earned has been completely thrown away by you useless descendants! You are a bunch of spineless cowards who forget where you came from. You bully the weak because you are too afraid of the strong. How can you even dare to mention the name of your Sect in front of me?
The Scarlet King cursed them with everything he had. His words were rough and harsh, but they hit every single sore spot, insulting the Clear Sky Sect members from their current leaders all the way back to their ancestors until they were completely humiliated.
Shut your mouth!
You arrogant beast! How dare you insult the great ancestors of our Sect!
We will fight you to the death!
The insults directed at their Sect and their ancestors were far more painful for the Clear Sky Sect members than being slapped across the face. Not only the Second Elder, who had just regained his senses, but also the other three Elders who were originally terrified were now breathing heavily like angry bulls. Their eyes turned completely red with rage, and their spirit power began to surge wildly without control. The Clear Sky Hammers in their hands started to shine with a brilliant light once again.
Even the Seventh Elder, who was lying at the edge of the deep pit and was far too injured to move his body, was provoked by these extreme insults. He struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with deep malice and madness.
Beside them, Tang Xiao, though heavily injured and incredibly weak, was also shaking with anger at these mean words that insulted his home. He forced himself to gather a small breath of spirit power, straightened his back, and glared directly at the Scarlet King.
Six experts from the Clear Sky Sect were now completely united against this single enemy. The terrifying pressure of their Clear Sky Hammers began to merge together in the air like a volcano that was about to erupt, locking tightly onto the Scarlet King who had spoken so rudely to them. A massive battle looked like it was about to break out in an even more violent way.
Seeing this happen, the Scarlet King did not show a single hint of fear. Instead, he excitedly licked his lips. The wild and violent aura around his body, which felt like a dangerous beast from ancient times, began to rise higher and higher. He grinned widely, showing a row of clean, white teeth.
What is the matter? Did I say something true and now you want to fight me? Come on then! I just happened to need a good workout to stretch my muscles!
Just as this tense, six-on-one destructive battle was about to start, a voice broke the silence.
The number one Sect in the world? The Clear Sky Sect?
A calm voice, yet one that seemed to carry the icy winds of the highest heavens and the lightning of pure destruction, echoed out without any warning in the open sky right above their heads. This voice was not exceptionally loud, but it easily drowned out all the angry shouting on the ground. It was like a direct soul message, echoing clearly in the very depths of everyone's mind.
What a proud Clear Sky Sect. You actually dare to take advantage of my absence to create trouble for the people of my Spirit Hall. Since that is the case, your Clear Sky Sect does not need to exist in this world anymore.
The owner of the voice seemed to lightly repeat the words. The cold tone made the angry members of the Clear Sky Sect down below feel as if a bucket of freezing ice water had been poured directly over their heads, causing their hearts to grow incredibly cold for no clear reason.
In the very next second, up in the high sky, a figure dressed in blue robes quietly appeared out of nowhere. He floated there silently, looking down as if he had been watching everything from above since ancient times.
The moment his voice stopped falling, with his body acting as the exact center, a terrifying pressure that changed the color of the sky and the earth crashed down. Mixed with a physical killing intent and a coldness that could freeze all living things, the pressure came down hard, looking as if the entire sky itself was collapsing onto the world below.
