Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 493 - 460: Do You Still Remember?

"Boom!"

The ten beams of sword light, flickering with sharp radiance and surging with an astonishing aura, seemed to originate from ancient times, extremely terrifying.

In particular, Hu Xing and the others actually felt a deep connection, a bond that was far more perfect than the so-called spiritual connections they had!

It was as if these ten people had practiced this formation thousands upon thousands of times, achieving a synergy where a mere thought could result in impeccable coordination.

To break through even one of these beams of sword light, one must fully shatter all ten beams!

"Kill this man first!"

Shangguan Mingxin’s cold command came, as she extended her delicate, jade-like finger, pointing directly at Hu Xing.

Like shooting the bird that leads the flock, ever since Hu Xing and the others had appeared, they had always been led by him, and with his cultivation base being the highest among the seven, Shangguan Mingxin naturally targeted Hu Xing first.

As if hearing Shangguan Mingxin’s words, those ten beams of sword light changed direction at this moment, instantly flickering to appear directly above Hu Xing’s head.

Hu Xing’s expression drastically changed; he could feel a sky-high killing intent emanating from the sword light!

Within this killing intent, there was an indescribable sharpness, as if the fall of this sword light could slice through heaven and earth, tearing apart the firmament!

"Boom!"

The sword light tore through the void, forming a vortex, becoming a slaughterous grand formation.

At this moment, Hu Xing’s Mid-Stage Dragon God Realm cultivation burst forth completely. While defending, his horsetail whisk in hand shook continuously, with countless filaments of dust spreading out.

However, these filaments were shredded into fragments by the sword light the instant they appeared.

Simultaneously, with the fall of the sword light, it covered Hu Xing’s body and flashed by in an instant.

Upon seeing the sword light again, Hu Xing’s body was no more; Shangguan Mingxin’s hand mysteriously held a Primordial Spirit.

It was Hu Xing’s Primordial Spirit!

"Hiss!!!"

Seeing this scene, the disciples from Qilin Daoist Temple were utterly shocked.

They took a deep breath of cold air, their faces filled with horror.

The one they always saw as a grand stronger, a heavenly talent, the Senior Brother they took as a role model... had died just like that?

"Kill them too!"

Without giving the remaining six people any time to call for help, Shangguan Mingxin spoke indifferently.

The ten figures appeared, one sword per person, chopping down from above.

Shangguan Mingxin flicked her fingertips, and her golden longsword descended from the center of the ten beams of sword light.

At a glance, it truly was a grand formation, with the ten beams of sword light as auxiliary and Shangguan Mingxin’s longsword as the core; within a hundred miles of the void, everything was torn apart, and the area where the six people were formed a vacuum zone!

In this vacuum zone, more and more of the space was being torn apart, leaving less and less space for the six people to survive.

A hundred miles, fifty miles, ten miles, five miles, one mile...

At the end, the sword light suddenly roared and spun abruptly.

Under this spinning, all the void within the range of one mile collapsed directly.

Moreover, as it collapsed, the sword light split from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and at a glance, there were virtually a thousand beams of sword light that, at this moment, roared out, directly slaughtering the six people.

No screams came out, no sound at all, those six people, without realizing it, disappeared, leaving only their Primordial Spirits and Space Rings, which Shangguan Mingxin collected.

"Is this the Starry Divine Guard of the Phoenix Sect?"

"How could they be so strong!!!"

"Isn’t the Phoenix Sect an Eighth-Rank Sect? How could there be so many strong cultivators in an Eighth-Rank Sect? Could it be that all the Dragon God Realm strong cultivators in the entire Sect have already been mobilized?"

"Impossible, these are merely the Starry Divine Guards of the Phoenix Sect. The Phoenix Sect has five Divine Guards, and each one is extremely formidable. The clothes they’re wearing are clearly that of the Starry Divine Guards!"

"Just one Divine Guard Regiment is this strong? If all five Divine Guard Regiments of the Phoenix Sect are of this caliber, how could they be an Eighth-Rank Sect? They’re probably qualified to be promoted to a Sixth-Rate Sect!"

Bursts of clamor continually arose as the disciples of Qilin Daoist Temple reevaluated their view of the Phoenix Sect.

In fact, it wasn’t just them, even True Person Fa Yue felt the same.

He had originally thought that with his nine disciples, he could easily sweep through the Phoenix Sect, especially since the strongest Sect Master of the Phoenix Sect was said to be only at the Dragon God Realm.

Who would have imagined that, in three years’ time, just one Starry Divine Guard Corps would wipe out all nine of his disciples!

As a Seventh-Rate Sect, Qilin Daoist Temple had four hundred thousand disciples, with dozens of them in the Dragon God Realm.

But among them, the strongest were only the Three Great Temple Masters, each at the Dragon God Realm Late Peak.

If any one of them reached the Peak of the Dragon God Realm, they would qualify to advance to a Sixth-Rate Sect.

Now, including the previously mentioned Phantom Spirit and Huiyue, a total of nine Dragon God Realm cultivators had all died at the hands of the Phoenix Sect, significantly reducing the number of strong cultivators in Qilin Daoist Temple!

"Anyone else coming forward?"

Shangguan Mingxin looked down and spoke indifferently, "If not, then I will convey the Sect Master’s order."

Seeing that still no one spoke, Shangguan Mingxin continued, "This time, I did not come to exterminate your Qilin Daoist Temple. The Sect Master decrees that the Qilin Daoist Temple shall hand over all of its heritage and the Sect Order of the Seventh-Rate Sect to end this affair."

"What audacity!"

As Shangguan Mingxin finished speaking, a hoarse and cold snort suddenly emerged.

Along with this snort, an old woman emerged from the void, her sharp eyes staring at Shangguan Mingxin with intense killing intent.

"If we give you, the Phoenix Sect, the Sect Order and all of our Sect’s heritage, then what will we have left to support our four hundred thousand disciples with, and with what will we still call ourselves a Seventh-Rate Sect?!" the old woman said coldly.

"And who might you be?" Shangguan Mingxin asked calmly.

"I am one of the Three Great Temple Masters of Qilin Daoist Temple, True Person Fa Yun," the old woman declared.

"A Temple Master has finally appeared, huh?"

Shangguan Mingxin looked at True Person Fa Yun and took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the anger that could not be contained in the depths of her eyes.

"Before discussing matters relating to the Phoenix Sect, I have a personal issue I’d like to address," said Shangguan Mingxin, her gaze fixed on the old woman as she strove to maintain her composure, "Do you remember a family from Wang’an Mansion six years ago whose surname is Shangguan?"

"The Shangguan Family?"

True Person Fa Yun furrowed her brows, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly looked towards Shangguan Mingxin, "Are you a descendant of the Shangguan Family?!"

"Yes, I am a descendant of the Shangguan Family."

Shangguan Mingxin’s body trembled slightly. Even though she was now a cultivator comparable to the Peak of the Dragon God Realm, the hatred from her family’s annihilation still made her state of mind tumultuous and unable to remain calm.

"Six years ago, Qilin Daoist Temple intervened, helping the Han Family to exterminate more than thirteen hundred and twenty-six members of my Shangguan Family, from top to bottom. Do you remember this?"
