Chapter 2277: A Battle of Life and Death

When facing ants, especially those that dare to revolt, the Green-clothed Venerable always sentences them to death, and this time will be no exception!

Turning his head, the Green-clothed Venerable saw the Dragon Slayer Supreme beside him with his hands hidden in his sleeves, now tightly clenched and making a cracking sound. He sneered before slowly saying, “Dragon Slayer, these ants dare to resist. What do you think we should do?”

The Dragon Slayer Supreme did not answer him, but the dazzling, intense red glow around him made the fate of this group of people clear without words.

“Roar…”

A booming shout, unexpectedly coming from the mouth of the elder, emitted a tangible red wave of energy!

“Boom…”

In surprise, the red energy wave swept through the combatants with thunderbolt momentum, even the wall behind them, stained with blood to the point where its original color was unrecognizable, immediately spawned spiderweb cracks.

“Pff…”

As the roar concluded, the guard of the Martial God Mansion, originally ready to charge toward the Venerables with swords raised, suddenly spewed blood arrows from their mouths.

While spitting blood, the guards with lower cultivation levels already trembled and collapsed, their mouths spewing forth blood like a breached dam, rushing endlessly.

The remaining guards leaned on the swords stabbed into the ground just to prevent themselves from falling. Watching their dead companions beside them, faces full of anger showed a hint of shock.

With just a roar, Sub-Saint Realm Fifth Layer Heaven people can be slain. Who exactly are these elders!

“No, we must report to the Marquis soon. These people are suspicious and definitely not ordinary!”

It was only at this moment that the leader of the guards realized that these elders were not beings that their tier could manage. Coughing out several mouthfuls of blood, he trembled as he spoke to the few remaining companions beside him.

In their hour of peril, they nodded heavily without hesitation. Anger and the blood of their companions dyed their eyes red, yet within them arose a resolute determination.

“Kill these fellows!”

With one person taking the lead, the others imitated, shouting loudly before fiercely slapping the ground, then stood up and charged stormily at the Green-clothed Venerable.

However, they might have forgotten that to kill the Green-clothed Venerable, they first had to overcome the Blood Shadow Dark Guard!

“Pff…”

Two Blood Shadow Dark Guards, who had just been focused solely on defense, now regained their composure. Eyes hidden under masks reignited with a bloodthirsty glow, their figures turned into shadows, and the dagger in mid-air cut an arc, slashing beautiful blood flowers from the throats of several.

“Boom…”

A guard clutched his nonstop bleeding throat, trembling as he fell, his eyes watched the companion sprinting away to report to the Marquis. In his last second of life, he only hoped the family head, known by the people as the National Guardian Martial God, could avenge them!

Yet this thought was gradually shaken by his increasingly cold throat. Could their family head, Dongfang Haoxuan, indeed be a match for these people?

Unfortunately, the answer was something he would never see…

“Whoosh…”

Watching the distance to Dongfang Haoxuan’s main hall growing closer, the guard leader’s excitement distracted him, pulling at his wound, making him stagger, relying on the cracked longsword propped against the ground to avoid falling disgracefully.

Seeing this scene, standing amidst blood and corpses, the four Venerables snickered. The Green-clothed Venerable stroked his whitening beard, teasingly said, “A dog is a dog. Only knowing to call its master when it can’t bite back, not realizing it’s already angered the guest.”

As soon as his words fell, the Green-clothed Venerable signaled to the Dragon Slayer Supreme ready beside him. Hearing, he roared explosively, and his figure flashed forth sharply.

“Whoosh…”

Unlike the two Blood Shadow Dark Guards ripping shadows through the air, the Dragon Slayer Supreme twisted the air violently as he moved, seemingly bending it to his formidable power!

“Boom…”

An Iron Fist strike, glowing red, hits the guard leader’s chest dead center. What gave him no chance to resist nor escape from instant death was that the Dragon Slayer Supreme’s right hand had pierced through his chest, bright red blood steaming, dripping lightly from his hand onto the pristine bluestone pavement.

“Ugh…”

Without a single stagger, his heart shattered by elemental power, once he lost the support of the Dragon Slayer Supreme’s gravity, the leader’s form bowed down, becoming another corpse among the ground bodies.

As the Dragon Slayer Supreme violently erupted, the leader already had defenses ready, yet couldn’t foresee; the opponent’s speed was so fast, their attack unbelievably ruthless!

Even with his prideful Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer Heaven strength, it was so vulnerable, his protective elemental power was shattered by a single punch, his meridians and internal organs vibrated to powder under the contained might!

At this moment, the once majestic Martial God Marquis Mansion courtyard was drenched in blood and corpses, resembling purgatory, the air thick with stench, driving ordinary people to retch. Yet, the four Venerables and Blood Shadow Dark Guards seemed pleased, as if killing these people was a gracious gift to them!

Looking at the courtyard now devoid of life except for his own team, Green-clothed Venerable snorted coldly, though looking down toward the distant Martial God Marquis Mansion main hall, spoke with disdain: “Why, after killing so many of your dogs, the master doesn’t dare to say anything, could it be the esteemed Lianyun Empire is full of trash!?”

The Green-clothed Venerable’s words were light but filled with an aura of power, conveyed into the main hall. Behind Dongfang Haoxuan, the golden-armored guards couldn’t help but angrily said, “Marquis, let us accompany you, in Lianyun Empire, who is bold enough to dare commit an extermination of nine clans act?”

Shaking his head, Dongfang Haoxuan, become the National Guardian Martial God, not only due to his own cultivation but absolutely not foolish in mind. He understood, the coming enemy capable of slaughtering all his guards undoubtedly harbors strong power, at least, even his loyal guards would be merely sent to die.

Putting on the helmet gleaming with golden light and marked by sword scratches, the previously calm Dongfang Haoxuan’s face suddenly raised with a mighty battle spirit, as if he had returned to being the National Guardian Martial God who once dominated the battlefields.

“Protect the old, weak, women, and children in the mansion well; remember, do not step out of this hall!”

Seeing Dongfang Haoxuan regained his battlefield demeanor, the half-kneeling golden-armored guards echoed affirmatively, “Our lord, your command!”
