BOOM!
As the massive azure lightning dragon came into contact with the emerald-green beam of poison from the Greenwood Sky Snake King, a massive wave of spiritual energy erupted from the clash, as thousands of disciples suddenly flew off into the air, smashing into different parts of the sect. Some smashed into buildings, others smashed into carts and watchtowers, while others still smashed into each other, a lot of them sustaining injuries of varying levels.
Thankfully, the Nascent Profound Realm elders and the inner disciples were now in full-on battle mode, as they worked tirelessly to ensure that there were no casualties among the injured, while the True Profound Realm Grand Elders took on the brunt of the impact from the clash, as blood seeped through their lips.
One of the Grand Elders of the Disciplinary Hall, named Huang Mochen, had a thin and lanky build while his eyes shone with a calculating might.
You could tell that even when they had seemingly given it their all to prevent the spiritual energy wave from hitting the brunt of the disciples, he and all the other Grand Elders and core elders of the Disciplinary Hall were giving much less effort compared to the others. This could be seen from the fact that almost all of the Grand Elders of the Disciplinary Hall had very few injuries.
Of course, the Grand Elders from the other factions noticed this, but they didn't say anything—or rather, they didn't dare say anything, for they feared the retaliation of the Disciplinary Hall. Of course, that applied to most of the Grand Elders here, but it was clear that the Information Hall was not part of this group of people. Huang Ziyu, one of the strongest of the Grand Elders aside from the leaders of the factions, had these words to say:
"It seems the Disciplinary Hall is committing a dereliction of duty, not giving enough effort to the task of protecting the disciples. Could it be that the Disciplinary Hall is truly just a bunch of power-hungry mongrels?"
Huang Ziyu said these words with a calm and serene expression, as if the words he just spoke didn't just insult the dignity of all the elders of the Disciplinary Hall present, but also placed into question their role within the sect. Obviously, these words would provoke these battle-hungry animals within the Disciplinary Hall, as another Grand Elder within the Disciplinary Hall named Huang Shitian had this to say:
"Huang Ziyu, do you think that just because you are considered one of the more powerful of the Grand Elders within the trash that is your Information Hall, you can dare speak slander of our mighty Azure Dragon Sect Disciplinary Hall? Do you think that I cannot take your words right now as treason?!"
The man named Huang Ziyu, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about the threat, as he just stared at Huang Shitian with eyes that screamed of boredom while he replied:
"If you scoundrels of the Disciplinary Hall want to pick a fight, just say so. Why do you need to jeopardize the safety of our disciples for your petty squabbles?"
Instantly, all of the Grand Elders of the Disciplinary Hall became enraged, as one of them even became eager to start fighting while a powerful wave of black lightning started to crawl and sizzle across his body.
However, before things could get any worse, a loud rumble suddenly appeared in the distance as the clash between the Greenwood Sky Snake King and their Spirit Profound Realm Ancestor had suddenly become even more brutal, and so both sides were forced to stop their petty squabbles.
BOOM!
As a wave of emerald-green poison formed a sea of green around the Azure Dragon Sect Ancestor, Huang Jian, he waved his hand as instantly five lightning dragons made of azure light appeared all around his body, forming a wave of electric light that isolated him from the poison.
Instantly, he leaped from his position on the ground and delivered a straightforward punch at his target. His tiny fist hit the Greenwood Sky Snake King right on the nose—like an ant trying to strike an elephant—however, the effects were much more potent than a lot of people realized.
The instant Huang Jian's fist hit the Greenwood Sky Snake King, the Greenwood Sky Snake King's entire head suddenly wobbled right there in the air—lightning crackling along his skull—before it was smashed down into the ground, as massive amounts of rocks and debris rocketed up into the air.
"OHHHH, ANCESTOR! GO BEAT THAT DAMN SNAKE UP!"
"ANCESTOR HUANG JIAN! YOU HAVE TO WIN!"
As cheers erupted all across the sect, wishing for Huang Jian's victory, the person in question stared at his fist, as hints of an emerald hue appeared therein and a bit of a grimace showed up in his features as he dropped down back on the ground.
It's been a long time since me and that damn snake in the Greenwood Forest fought; I can't believe that it's become a bit stronger once again.
It was clear that even though it seemed as if the clash between him and the Greenwood Sky Snake King had been one-sided—with him smashing the latter into the ground and causing a bit of blood to spurt from its body as the azure lightning ran rampant across it—the poison coating the Greenwood Sky Snake King's body had also caused him to wince from pain, as his fists slowly started to turn emerald.
Good thing I have antidote pills with me; I can at least play around with this snake for a while more and maybe even turn this disaster into an opportunity
While saying these words, a few white pills suddenly appeared in his hands—a total of three—and he swallowed all three of them through his mouth before waving his hands as a sea of azure lightning erupted from all over his form.
"Alright, you fucking beast! Since you dare intrude into the territory of the Azure Dragon Sect, I will make sure that you no longer leave here alive! This will be the day that one of the overlords of the Greenwood Forest will meet its end!"
