"Of course, I'm coming with you, Clan Master Su. I want to see the destruction of the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan with my own eyes!" Yu Yuanjia replied.
Previously, Yu Yuanjia had suspected that Su Mo would not be a match for the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan. But after thinking about it carefully, this clan master of his was simply the best at subjugating weaker clans.
Su Mo was in the incomplete Golden Core Realm when he killed the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades, who was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator. But now that Su Mo had finally ascended into the Golden Core Realm, it became apparent that he could handle the Hornless Ice Dragons.
Also, Yu Yuanjia and the others had been training with Su Mo this past month, making Yu Yuanjia confident that Su Mo's strength was more than just an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Yu Yuanjia was certain that Su Mo hadn't made a hasty decision. Su Mo undoubtedly had plans to deal with the Hornless Ice Dragons, so Yu Yuanjia did not convince Su Mo otherwise. Instead, he chose to follow Su Mo.
Moreover, if they failed in defeating the Hornless Ice Dragons, Yu Yuanjia would be honored to die alongside his clan master.
"Okay, then let's hurry up."
After saying that, Su Mo flew into the sky as Yu Yuanjia quickly followed.
'Ready or not, here we come, Hornless Ice Dragons,' Su Mo muttered in his heart.
…
"Any news on the Cerulean Ocean Blades?" Hornless Dragon asked in the main hall of the Hornless Ice Dragon Village.
Hornless Dragon was an extremely muscular bald man with a long scar across his face. He had gotten that scar in a duel with Li Jianting, who slashed his face with one move.
Hornless Dragon wore the fur of an unknown demonic beast, and he looked like a bandit instead of a clan master. He also didn't look like a swordsman either. Instead, Hornless Dragon looked like a barbarian with a mace.
"Clan Master, the first elder is on his way back with a member of the Crimson Heart Clan. Should we solve our matters with the Crimson Hearts before dealing with the Cerulean Ocean Blades?" The second elder asked as he sat at the second seat of the round table.
"They're just a few members of the Crimson Hearts, so how much trouble could they really be? Have you received any information about our collaboration with the other clan?" Hornless Dragon asked.
"We have to wait for the young master to return before we receive any new information. However, there shouldn't be any complications," the second elder answered.
"Then we'll make a move against the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan before dealing with those remnants," Hornless Dragon said confidently.
Hornless Dragon had been second best for too long and finally planned to become the best on the floating island, which is why he didn't care about the revival of the Crimson Heart Clan. He just asked the first elder to go and investigate the situation at the Crimson Heart Village from time to time.
"Are the people from the other clan strong?" An elder asked.
"Of course, they are. They're from that place. Others from the floating island and even the Raging Waves Continent are nothing to those people," Hornless Dragon said with yearning.
"Then it shouldn't be a problem for us to dominate the floating island finally!" The second elder said happily.
The Hornless Ice Dragon Clan had always been an imposing force on the floating island, but they didn't dare to offend Li Jianting. The Hornless Ice Dragons even acted according to Li Jianting's moves.
However, Li Jianting didn't want to offend the Hornless Ice Dragons, causing the two forces to form an obscure and unofficial truce. Neither clan wanted to offend the other.
It wasn't until a month ago when Hornless Dragon received the news of Li Jianting's secluded cultivation. He had heard that Li Jianting was planning to ascend into the Nascent Soul Realm to surpass the Hornless Ice Dragons.
Hornless Dragon knew that Li Jianting would immediately attack the Hornless Ice Dragon Village after ascending into the Nascent Soul Realm.
So Hornless Dragon decided to look for some help. However, a mysterious force had come across the Hornless Ice Dragons and offered them help. All they needed to do now was to wait for the first elder to return with information before they could plan their attack.
"Hahaha! You've suppressed me for far too long, Li Jianting. Now I'll finally have the chance to kill you!" Hornless Dragon laughed coldly.
At this moment, Hornless Dragon felt an unprecedented sense of confidence. He was genuinely proud of himself.
Boom!
A violent tremor spread across the entire Hornless Ice Dragon Village just as Hornless laughed.
"Who's attacking the village? Is it Li Jianting?!" Hornless Dragon was shocked, yet he quickly walked out of the main hall to see what was happening.
Hornless Dragon could not help but burst into a fit of rage at the sight of the tragic scene before him. Countless disciples of the Hornless Ice Dragon Village were lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
The once majestic and prosperous Hornless Ice Dragon Village was now in ruins. The Clan Protecting Formation of a Golden Core Realm cultivator was also destroyed.
"Who is it?!" Hornless Dragon was furious.
"What's the matter? Can't handle my attacks?" Su Mo's figure slowly appeared in the air.
"Su Mo of the Crimson Heart Clan!" Hornless Dragon said as he gritted his teeth.
Su Mo looked at Hornless Dragon, who was filled with killing intent, and said indifferently, "You should've expected this to happen after you conspired with the Cerulean Ocean Blades to destroy my village and kill my people?"
"You just signed your death warrant!" Hornless Dragon was a hot-tempered and powerful person, which was why no one dared to provoke him previously.
But now that Su Mo had provoked him in such a manner, he could not hold his anger in any longer. Hornless Dragon drew his ice element sword and charged directly toward Su Mo.
However, Su Mo did not directly clash with Hornless Dragon. Instead, he circulated his mana, used his mantra, and dodged.
"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"
Su Mo then used the Heavenly Emperor Fist, but he did not direct it at Hornless Dragon. Instead, he aimed it toward the elders of the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan.
"Watch as your disciples die before your very eyes!" Su Mo shouted mercilessly.
The Hornless Ice Dragon Clan differed from the Myriad Flower Blades. They were one of the main contributors to the desolation of the Crimson Heart Clan.
Many high-ranking disciples and officials of the Hornless Ice Dragons had participated in the assault against the Crimson Hearts, so Su Mo showed no mercy toward the other Hornless Ice Dragon Clan members.
"Block the attack!"
There were many disciples below who were still alive. The five elders were concerned about their fellow disciples, so instead of evading Su Mo's technique, they chose to clash with the attack head-on.
"Hailstorm Formation!"
The five elders yelled in unison, and the five beams of light blocked the Heavenly Emperor Fist, but they could only hold on for a short while.
"Since you've managed to block that attack, I'll give you another. Let's see if you're still able to withstand my attack then." Su Mo dodged the attack of the elders and said indifferently.
"Twin Heavenly Emperor Fist! Brace yourselves, old b*stards!"
Before the desperate eyes of the five elders, two enormous silhouettes of fists appeared and smashed downward fiercely. The five elders didn't stand a chance against the attack.
The five elders fell to the ground as Su Mo's powerful attack enveloped them. The once glorious Hornless Ice Dragon Village was now in ruins, and the disciples and elders were nowhere to be seen. They had all evaporated.
Many survivors began to run away at the sight of these horrifying events. Many disciples were also lying injured and unconscious on the ground. However, no one could stop and help them.
"Clan Master Su, this is simply too terrifying. It's like you've brought me here to kill these people for sport. If I'd known about this sooner, I would've immediately agreed to come and destroy Hornless Ice Dragon Village with you, sir! Kill them all!"
"Clan Master Su is killing at random, and I'm also responsible for this," Yu Yuanjia said as he gulped while hiding in a dark corner.
However, he did not feel sorry for those who had died. This was simply how the world of the cultivators worked. If a clan were in the wrong, they would have to suffer the consequences of their actions.
In the past, these people had relied on the Hornless Ice Dragons to defend them, which made the people more arrogant. This was simply judgment day for those who had offended the Crimson Heart Clan.
"How does it feel to see your village in such a sorry state? Does it hurt?" Su Mo asked with a smile on his face as he turned around to evade Hornless Dragon's attack.
"You've destroyed my village, Su Mo. Today is the day you die!" Hornless Dragon swept his gaze throughout the village and said.
