Chapter 455 - 461: The Great Elder Was Almost Angered to Death

Everything in the surroundings seemed to stand still.

An endless darkness descended. A flash of sword light, imbued with Thunder and Fire Attributes, slashed straight for the Great Elder.

Her "Domain" was unleashed in the same instant. Because her Divine Soul had been enhanced, the power of her Domain was now far greater than before.

The Great Elder raised a hand to counterattack, but his vision blurred, and he suddenly found himself in a strange place.

A figure appeared before him, one that had terrified him his entire life: his big brother.

"Big Brother?"

He was horrified, and his face turned deathly pale.

The deeds of his past flashed before his eyes. Though it was only for a moment, it was enough to make him panic.

By the time he struggled free from the Domain, a sword and a saber were already slashing at him in unison.

Baili Shang’s clone closed in again, a massive palm gathering both Demonic Qi and Spiritual Energy as it slammed down on him.

The Great Elder’s expression changed drastically. He swung his longspear, and the aura around him grew even more terrifying. With a violent tremor, he sent them flying.

The three figures flew backward, stabilized themselves, and then charged in again.

For a moment, the air was filled with terrifying shockwaves that rippled outward one after another.

The lush forest was quickly reduced to a wreck.

The surrounding demon beasts had all fled, not a single one remaining.

"BOOM—"

The three figures were blasted back once more. This time, however, a bolt of Divine Thunder suddenly descended from the heavens, instantly engulfing the Great Elder.

The Great Elder never expected the sudden Divine Thunder. Caught completely off guard, he was struck directly by the lightning and immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Lightning coiled around his body, making him tremble uncontrollably.

But at that very moment, the three figures stealthily approached again.

They struck simultaneously!

"SPURT—"

The glints of a sword and a saber plunged into the Great Elder’s chest.

A massive palm slammed down on the crown of his head.

Every single move was fatal.

The Great Elder was gravely wounded. He used all his strength to force the three back before quickly flying aside. Only after he was out of the Divine Thunder’s range did he clutch his chest, his eyes fixed on the two with a venomous glare.

"Good. Good! EXCELLENT!"

Spiritual Energy poured madly from his wounds. If he hadn’t taken an Elixir Pill in time, he likely would have been on his last breath.

The Great Elder’s heart was filled with shock and doubt. At this moment, he suddenly understood why the Huo Clan Leader had warned him not to act rashly.

These two... their methods were so vicious that even he had fallen into their trap.

As he thought this, he wanted to send a message to the Huo Clan Leader to inform him of the situation.

He was no longer certain he could kill them. He was even starting to worry they might escape.

If that happened, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.

But before he could act, an Array rose up around him, locking him firmly in place.

The Great Elder’s face fell. He stared at the two in utter shock.

’Could it be that they actually intend to keep me here?’

"Enough talk!"

Song Wanning’s expression hardened. She exchanged a look with Baili Shang, and they pressed their advantage, launching another combined assault on the Great Elder.

Baili Shang gestured with a grand sweep of his hand, and the figure of a White Tiger appeared in the sky once more.

But this time, the White Tiger’s eyes were closed.

A chill ran down the Great Elder’s spine. ’This is bad,’ he cursed inwardly.

Sure enough, in the next instant, the White Tiger’s eyes snapped open.

A pair of eyes, glowing with white light yet tinged with a bizarre hint of red, landed on the Great Elder.

In that moment, the Great Elder felt as if he had been completely immobilized.

His expression changed dramatically. He struggled with all his might to break free, but it was useless.

At this moment, Song Wanning’s Longsword slashed down again.

This strike drew upon the four-colored orb in her Dantian and all the power from her internal space.

Simultaneously, the figure of the Demon God appeared before her.

Song Wanning’s expression was grim as she swung her sword in unison with the Demon God.

In an instant, the very heavens and earth seemed to change color.

"BOOM—"

Endless energy completely enveloped the Great Elder.

Immediately after, a blood-curdling scream was heard.

"AHH—"

The scream echoed throughout the entire mountain forest, shattering the broken branches and fallen leaves on the ground.

Only when all the energy dissipated was his miserable figure revealed—face covered in blood, with half of his shoulder missing.

He had just taken that last strike from Song Wanning head-on, with his own body.

If it weren’t for his high Cultivation, he would have met his end right here and now!

Terrifying.

These two were simply terrifying!

The thought of retreating rose in the Great Elder’s mind. ’These two are too unorthodox; they can’t be treated like ordinary Cultivators.’

However, it was now too late to run.

A cold glint flashed in Song Wanning’s eyes. She waved her hand again, and another bolt of Divine Thunder descended.

"BOOM—"

The Divine Thunder was incredibly fast. The Great Elder fled desperately but still couldn’t escape it.

At the same time, Baili Shang’s figure became a blur of afterimages. He rapidly appeared behind the Great Elder and thrust his saber straight through the man’s abdomen.

The clone had also appeared, striking his chest from the front with a palm.

"SPURT—"

The Spiritual Power within the Great Elder’s body instantly fell into chaos, and his face became deathly pale.

But it wasn’t over. Song Wanning slashed with her sword again. The moment the Divine Thunder dissipated, he was met with a world-shaking strike filled with an aura of destruction.

"AHHH—"

The Great Elder couldn’t help but scream in agony again. He was sent flying and viciously pinned to a tree behind him by the sword’s light.

’You messed up one attack and you think you can turn this around?’

’Absolutely not!’

Baili Shang and Song Wanning attacked the Great Elder relentlessly, as if they had gone mad.

Their momentum was fierce, and they fought with increasing valor, completely disregarding their own safety.

Soon, the Great Elder was also driven to madness, retaliating frantically.

Song Wanning and Baili Shang were quickly injured as well, but all of them were lost in a battle frenzy. How could they possibly care about their wounds?

If anything, their attacks became even more vicious.

The Great Elder’s pupils contracted again and again as he cursed endlessly in his mind.

’These two are absolute lunatics!’

’Why did I have to provoke these two lunatics?’

He was filled with a million regrets, but it was too late.

’Now, it’s just a matter of who can last longer!’

However, something even more infuriating soon happened.

That woman, Song Wanning, was utterly despicable.

Every time he tried to counterattack, she would pull out an Alchemy Furnace.

No matter how powerful his attacks were, they couldn’t penetrate the Alchemy Furnace’s defense.

Meanwhile, Baili Shang and his clone would attack him from behind with suicidal fervor, forcing him to turn and fight back.

And at that moment, Song Wanning would reveal herself again and launch her own attack.

This tactic wasn’t just dirty; it was exceptionally infuriating.

He didn’t even know if the blood he was spitting up was from his injuries or from sheer rage at her!!!!

"Despicable! Utterly despicable!!!"

The Great Elder’s hands trembled with fury. He wished he could devour Song Wanning alive.

"If you have any guts, stop hiding! What kind of hero hides from a fight?"

His eyes were bloodshot. He felt truly and utterly wronged.

Hearing this, Song Wanning just smirked. "And it’s not despicable for a senior to bully his juniors?"

"A mighty Integration Stage Cultivator is ganging up on two little juniors like us, and I’m not even allowed to defend myself?"

As she spoke, she even gave an innocent shrug, which made the Great Elder so angry he spat out another mouthful of blood.
