Chapter 342: Chapter 67: Reversal! Counterattack_2

The heaven-wide icy storm abruptly converged on the Dragon Smoke Sword, like a launched icicle bomb, piercing that glimmer of bloody light directly in its path.

Swift as lightning, its edge was unparalleled.

Embedding itself in Mr. Yin’s chest, his ears heard a “swish,” followed by a heart-wrenching agony.

His boastful words abruptly stopped midway. When he looked down, his gloomy eyes instantly filled with panic and incredulity.

How is this possible?

What came into his vision was a bloody hole the size of a bowl in his chest.

His gaze gradually dispersed, and his body flew a certain distance due to inertia before it finally lost all its strength and collapsed heavily on the Golden Sand Beach.

As expected of an Advanced Stage cultivator at the Spirit Platform Realm; just a step away from the Heavenly Human Realm, his life was incredibly tenacious.

Even at this moment, his eyes still hadn’t closed. His gaze retained a look of disbelief, as he continued to stare at Wang Longyan.

Wang Longyan’s pupils remained as calm as always. With a casual wave of her jade hand, the Dragon Smoke Sword she had hurled earlier drifted back smoke-like into her hand.

She once again swung her sword casually.

Mr. Yin’s wide-eyed head flew off. It rolled a few times on the ground, presenting a scene of unwillingness to die.

“You’re too confident. You shouldn’t have wasted time making threats. This delayed your speed,” Wang Longyan’s frosty eyes opened only after he had died. “Moreover, considering that the Yinsha Sect’s blood escape technique is so well-known, how could I not prepare for you?”

Having a unique thinker (eccentric figure) like Wang Shouzhe as her younger generation, she naturally understood the principle of villains’ downfall often resulting from excessive chatter.

In fact, Wang Longyan knew very well that once a disciple of the Yinsha Sect was forced to use the blood escape, life and death were essentially left up to luck.

Even if Mr. Yin managed to escape, there was more than a seventy to eighty percent chance that he would die directly under the blood escape technique.

Yet even so, Wang Longyan didn’t want to provide him a chance to survive. So, she threw out the killing move she had been brewing for a while when he was boasting.

If poor Mr. Yin could live again, it’s sure he would not talk so much.

Upon witnessing the nosy enemy commander, Mr. Yin, being killed in battle, a cheer suddenly erupted from the soldiers of the Three Camps Patrol, and our members were all greatly boosted in spirit.

Old Ancestor Ruhong took the lead and accomplished a feat.

Like a rainbow piercing the sun, the Water Dragon Spear impaled the Yin Sha Poison Corpse’s head, as its massive body roared and collapsed.

The Yin Sha Poison Corpse’s strength was remarkable, comparable to the combat power of an advanced stage cultivator at the Spirit Platform Realm.

Nevertheless, without anyone directing it, its low spiritual intelligence was simply not enough to support combat. It was just a large training target, very different from the demon puppets in the Shenwu Army Training Ground in terms of intelligence. It was incomparable.

With Wang Longyan and Old Ancestor Ruhong freeing up their hands, the other battlefields also quickly received reinforcements.

Soon, the other two disciples from the Yinsha Sect, Yin Twenty-six, and Yin Seventeen, were suppressed and killed on the spot, without even a chance to use the blood escape technique.

After all the outsiders had been killed, everyone then surrounded Huangfu Jinyuan.

At this point, Old Ancestor Beichen also stopped, looking at Huangfu Jinyuan regretfully: “Jinyuan, we are contemporaries. We were competitors when we were young. Speaking of talent, you were even slightly better than me. You were so spirited back then. I praised you when you left the family for a better future. But I didn’t expect you to end up like this.”

“Xu Beichen, what do you know?” Huangfu Jinyuan’s face was as grey as death, completely despondent. “You are the direct descendant of the Changning Xu Family, having all the family resources for yourself. When I was young, I was just an ordinary direct-disciple of the Celestial Huangfu Family. What choices did I have? Even after separating from the family, how could I not depend on the main family for my livelihood?”

“Old Brother Jinyuan, surrender. As long as you confess your crimes and expose the real mastermind behind the scenes, we can plead for you.” Old Ancestor Beichen advised, “Things have reached this point, why are you still blindly loyal?”

“Heh-heh-heh~ it’s all just a matter of the victors and the defeated.”

Huangfu Jinyuan began to laugh, seeming to age several more years instantly.

He slowly straightened his body. His eyes were filled with determination: “The collusion with the Yinsha Sect and plots against our home territories were all decided by me alone, and are not related to others. Even Huangfu Kangping was merely threatened by me. Xu Beichen, we got to know each other when we were young, which is a kind of fate. Allow you to grant me a quick death.”

“You…” Old Ancestor Beichen, failing to persuade him, reluctantly said, “Old brother Jinyuan, since you’ve made up your mind, all I can give you is a quick death.”

Having said that, he turned his palm over.

The Town Dragon Monument suddenly grew tangible and pressed down.

“Boom!”

This time, Huangfu Jinyuan offered no resistance and was crushed to death under the Town Dragon Monument.

A founding ancestor of a generation thus perished.

After killing Huangfu Jinyuan, Old Ancestor Beichen’s eyes also showed a deep regret, sighing: “In fact, Huangfu Jinyuan was an outstanding man of his generation, with exceptional talents and will. Unfortunately, he was born into the wrong family. Even though he wanted to shake off the control of the Celestial Huangfu Family, he was helpless and ended up sinking deeper. If he had been in my position, he might already have reached the Heavenly Human Realm by now.”

Old Ancestor Ruhong, Wang Longyan, and the others were silent.

Although they were enemies, they couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Huangfu Jinyuan.
