Complete silence had taken over the area of tens of miles. Within this area, everything was scorched and destroyed. There were long ravines so deep that they would give one horror just by staring at them all over the place.
The ground had melted to the point of becoming lava.
The place where Yun Che and Qingyue were was covered in clouds of dust, hiding them behind it.
"Did we get him?" Xiao Sect Master's voice traveled in this silent, destroyed land, his tone slightly doubtful. He thought if Yun Che was really as strong as he proclaimed, he should not be dead but not far from dead. As for Qingyue, they knew she was dead for sure. After all, even if Yun Che was able to save himself, he wouldn't be able to protect Qingyue at the same time.
His voice fell, but no one answered him.
Suddenly, Yuefeng's expression changed and turned ugly. Using his profound sense, he felt the presence of two individuals; their auras were as healthy as they could be! This meant that their attacks couldn't even make a dent in Yun Che's aura!
Snow fell, covering the scorched black ground and cooling down the melted rocks. A gust of wind came, blowing away the cloud of dust below.
"Impossible!" Fen Moli barked out loud, confused and stunned.
In front of their eyes, below, a golden barrier appeared as the dust cloud cleared itself. The golden barrier pulsed with dense profound energy. Inside this barrier stood two people, untouched and alright.
"Is that all?" Yun Che's voice rang behind the barrier followed by a slight chuckle. "Didn't I tell you? You guys cannot kill me."
Everyone's facial expression turned worse. Their hearts heavy, they could not believe what they were seeing. One should know, everyone present here was above the Sky Profound Realm with one half-step Emperor Realm and third-rank Emperor Realm!
Such force, even a four major sect would not dare to take it lightly! Yet, despite all of their collected attacks, they couldn't even touch the junior below! He looked as healthy as a newborn baby!
"It must be an illusion!" Mu Tianbei shouted, his face full of disbelief. He dare not believe that a junior could stop the collected attack of the three major sects, sect masters, and elders alone! He thought it must be an illusion!
With a puff, the barrier vanished revealing the chuckling Yun Che and equally stunned and disbelief-stricken Qingyue.
"Now that you mentioned it, I have never used an illusion before. Maybe I should test them on you guys." Nodding his head, he looked at them with a smirk. "Let's try to create Tsukyomi!"
Since the moment he had gotten the skill illusion, Yun Che had never used it during combat. That was because he never got the chance to do so, since he was able to deal with pretty much everyone with Telekinesis alone.
So seeing the current situation, he decided to use the illusions. Though one of the main reasons was that each person here had a seal on their souls which would go back to their sects with the movie of everything that happened before their deaths.
Though he didn't care about them finding out about himself, he didn't want Yuefeng's kid to find out that the one who killed their father was him. That would cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
"Say, Yuefeng, what will happen if the one who killed you is Fen Moli?"
"…What do you mean?" Yuefeng frowned and inquired. Fen Moli was only a half-step Emperor Realm. He could only dream of killing him.
"Oh, you will understand in a second."
His voice fell and a bright flash appeared between everyone, stealing their sight.
Yuefeng also couldn't see anything when suddenly his face changed, and he jumped forward, dodging the sword slash that wanted to cut him into two pieces!
Horrified at how close he was to death, Yuefeng looked at his attacker, and his face changed once more.
"Fen Moli, what are you doing!?"
"Die!" Not answering his question, Fen Moli shouted, and flames burst out of his body, scorching everything around him.
The burning heaven blade in his hand released intense flames, and he slashed. The flames burst out of the blade and took the shape of a dragon. The wind around it burnt, producing loud noises!
The dragon roared before pouncing on stunned Yuefeng!
"Have you lost your mind!?" Yuefeng shouted once more. He raised his hand, holding the sword, and slashed towards the coming dragon. Sword aura burst out of his body, turning into a long sharp blade and hitting the coming dragon!
"What?!" Yuefeng's face became horrified when he saw that his sword's aura dispersed the moment it came in contact with the fire dragon! "Impossible!"
He could not believe it. After all, he was Emperor Realm third rank, while Fen Moli was not even a genuine Emperor Realm! The strength disparity between them was huge! Yet, now seeing that he could not even destroy the coming attack with his sword aura, Yuefeng was in disbelief.
Such a thing should not be possible!
"You old fart! You were hiding your strength!" Yuefeng didn't believe that the Fen Moli in front of him was but a mere illusion. Not only could an illusion not be this real, the person in front of him was using the arts of Burning Heaven Clan! No illusion should disperse his sword aura at contact!
"Heh. Your sect has stayed in the first position for too long. It is time for my Burning Heaven Clan to take its position."
Yuefeng's eyes widened. He suddenly realized that he had been calculated!
Thinking this, his expression turned absolutely angry. Sword aura burst out of his body, and he shouted, ready to fight till death!
While Yuefeng was fighting with "Fen Moli", everyone else was also fighting with Yuefeng, who wanted to use this opportunity to kill the geniuses of all other clans with their upper management, so his clan could rule the whole empire alone!
It didn't take long before the bodies started to fall down one after another, each with deep sword wounds. And if one examined these wounds, they would realize that all of these wounds had a distinct energy signature that only belonged to the Heavenly Sword Villa!
Then, another set of bodies fell. The only difference being that these bodies, instead of having mortal sword wounds, had burnt bodies. These corpses were burnt to a crisp and their bodies contained profound signatures of the Burning Heaven Clan!
If anyone examined these bodies, they would realize that they were killed by the people of Heavenly Sword Villa and Burning Heaven Clan.
Qingyue stared at all of this with a dazed look. Everything happened so fast that she didn't even have time to register what happened. At one time, they were attacked by everyone, and the next second, everyone was dead.
If anyone else heard her, they would never believe her!
"Let's go. People are coming." Her heart jumped when Yun Che's voice suddenly came from behind. His hands moved and circled around her soft, fatless stomach and pulled her into his embrace, her round, bountiful buttocks getting pressed against him.
'As I thought, it's really hard to control myself around her. Her body really is devilish as fuck!'
In a blink, both of them vanished, leaving behind the destroyed land filled with the bodies of old and young.
The moment they vanished, people started to appear in the sky: Ling Kun, Yuechan, Yueli, Wushang. Their eyes widened at the carnage below, and their minds went blank.
Seeing the bodies of sect masters of three of the major sects and their top disciples, everyone sucked deep breaths.
"What happened here?" Yueli exclaimed loudly. She could feel a chill crawl down her spine. Her eyes moved frantically, making sure no one from her sect was involved in the massacre below.
A sigh left her lips when she found that no one from her sect was present, meaning they should be alright right now.
"... They killed each other?" Examining the body, Ling Kun muttered confused. From the wounds, he could tell that these people fought each other and killed each other. Most people had died by the hand of Fen Moli and Yuefeng, and the energy signature left by their arts was quite distinct.
Feeling this, Ling Kun believed that these people killed each other! But what he didn't understand was why, and the same went for Yueli and Yuechan.
"... Let's go. Find our disciples and gather together. I am afraid something might happen to them too." Yuechan's indifferent voice came, showing how she didn't care about the death of the people in front of her.
She looked towards Ling Kun and bowed.
"This junior will have to trouble the senior to preside over this matter. I am afraid that with our position, we cannot interfere with this."
They were from Asgard, the only sect unaffected by the massacre below. If they interfered in this matter, their Asgard might get targeted by the other three sects. Yuechan wanted to avoid such a scenario.
As such, the best course of action was to leave this matter to Ling Kun. With his strength and background, no one would question his decision.
Ling Kun looked towards Yuechan and then nodded his head.
"Very well, I shall take care of this."
Yuechan nodded and left. She didn't want to stay in this place any longer. Not only was she cautious of Ling Kun, not wanting to be alone with him knowing that if something happened, she could not fight back, but she also wanted to find her disciples as quickly as possible.
The only disciple she was not worried about was Qingyue since she was with Yun Che. She doubted that anything would happen to her.
