Chapter 1174: All of You Must Die!

The Great Zhou elites had just charged at Ye Guan and Zang Gang when the latter sprang up. Her hands clenched tightly, and her eyes emitted an ominous blood-red glow. At the same time, she started giving off a faint crimson glow.

The power of her bloodline surged wildly!

As the Great Zhou cultivators reached her and Ye Guan, Zang Gang let out a furious roar and forcefully swung her hands upward.

Swoosh!

In an instant, the heads of over a dozen Great Zhou and Guanxuan Academy elites shot skyward, severed cleanly from their bodies.

Blood spurted like fountains. Witnessing this horrifying scene, the remaining cultivators from the Great Zhou and the academy turned pale and retreated hurriedly, too fearful to advance further.

Their gazes landed on Zang Gang, who was now cloaked in a blood-red aura, filled with fear and apprehension.

Ye Guan also realized something was amiss. The Mad Demon Bloodline within Zang Gang was surging uncontrollably. Her eyes, now resembling a sea of blood, were rapidly losing clarity.

Ye Guan's expression darkened at the sight, realizing that she was on the verge of completely losing her sanity and succumbing to madness.

Ye Guan grabbed her hand and said, "Zang Gang, calm down!"

Zang Gang's hands remained tightly clenched, and she trembled as more blood energy erupted from within him. Suddenly, she grabbed Ye Guan by the throat with just one hand.

Startled, Ye Guan exclaimed, "Stay calm!"

Zang Gang's voice trembled as she said, "I can't control myself!"

As her bloodline churned, her reason gave way to a tide of killing intent and madness.

Meanwhile, the onlookers were puzzled by the sight of Zang Gang grabbing Ye Guan's throat. What on earth were these two doing?

Zhou Ling, watching intently, couldn't hide his wariness toward Zang Gang.

Ye Guan fixed his gaze on the almost-maddened Zang Gang and said, "I'll teach you a more powerful killing technique."

"Really?" Zang Gang's eyes brightened, and she immediately released him.

Ye Guan was utterly speechless.

Damn it!

She did that on purpose!

Little Pagoda chimed in sarcastically,

"Damn, both of your Mad Demon Bloodlines are weird."

Just then, Zhou Ling took a step forward, and an overwhelming, invisible force swept across the battlefield, instantly enveloping both Ye Guan and Zang Gang.

Zang Gang stared at Zhou Ling, and with a grabbing gesture of the former's hand, countless crimson lights erupted in the space around the latter.

This technique manipulated an opponent's blood, severing their head in an instant. With the Mad Demon Bloodline amplifying its power, the technique became even deadlier. Controlling an opponent's blood required suppressing it first—a task that only a few bloodlines could accomplish better than the Mad Demon Bloodline.

At that moment, Zhou Ling felt his blood boiling out of control. Simultaneously, his neck tightened as though his head would fly at any second.

Startled, Zhou Ling hastily suppressed the mysterious force within him and retreated dozens of meters before he finally regained control of his head.

Looking at Zang Gang, Zhou Ling was shaken to his core. Her power had grown even stronger in such a short time.

Not far away, Zang Gang's face had turned deathly pale. That single attack had depleted almost all of her remaining profound energy.

Her cultivation was still too low.

If she had been stronger, she could have easily annihilated every enemy on the battlefield with her Mad Demon Bloodline and Head Snatcher.

Zhou Ling's expression darkened as he bellowed, "Very well! You dare slaughter the elites of Guanxuan Academy so openly—I've underestimated your audacity!"

Ye Guan glanced at Zhou Ling, his face impassive. "The Guanxuan Academy aids the wicked. They deserve death."

"Deserve death?"

Zhou Ling laughed in rage. "How ridiculous! You, a mere ant, dare utter such arrogant words?"

He then turned to Zang Gang and commanded coldly, "She's at her limit. Kill her."

Despite his orders, the Great Zhou and Guanxuan Academy cultivators hesitated. They were clearly afraid of Zang Gang.

Furious, Zhou Ling barked, "What are you waiting for?"

Reluctantly, several cultivators charged at Ye Guan and Zang Gang again.

Zang Gang took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination as she prepared to fight back. But just then, a thunderous voice rang out from the heavens.

"Stop!"

Hearing this voice, Ye Guan finally exhaled in relief.

They've arrived.

Zhou Ling turned his gaze skyward. From the horizon, several figures approached, walking on air.

𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

At the forefront was none other than Fang Yu!

Ye Guan had sent two letters through Long Dai, one of which was addressed to Fang Yu.

Two mysterious figures clad in black robes were standing behind Fang Yu, and Long Dai was among them.

When Long Dai saw Ye Guan, she ran up to him and anxiously asked, "Master! Are you alright?"

Ye Guan smiled faintly. "I'm fine."

Fang Yu studied Ye Guan carefully. The man before him looked familiar, but his appearance was strange, leaving Fang Yu puzzled.

Zhou Ling frowned as he asked, "Who are you?"

He didn't recognize Fang Yu as they came from different worlds.

Unfazed, Fang Yu replied, "I am Fang Yu, the Department Chief of Inspection Department in the Guanxuan Universe, acting on behalf of the Academy Master to oversee the myriad worlds."

Hearing this, Chen Yitian's face turned ashen. Unlike Zhou Ling, he recognized Fang Yu. This man was a sworn brother of the Academy Master himself!

He never expected Fang Yu to show up here!

Zhou Ling, on the other hand, sneered. "The Inspection Department? I've never heard of such a thing!"

Fang Yu ignored the remark and said coldly, "I've investigated this matter. Zhou Ling, you and the Chen Clan have ignored the Guanxuan Laws, attempting to annihilate a universe of billions."

"Enough with your nonsense!"

Zhou Ling waved a hand dismissively. "I only know one thing—they killed my men. They refused arrest and murdered even more of us. Look at the fresh blood on the ground!"

Fang Yu replied evenly, "Department Chief Zhou and the Chen Clan colluded for their personal gain. Such inhumanity...You have violated the Guanxuan Laws."

"I don't care."

Zhou Ling waved his hand again, fixing his gaze on Fang Yu. "All I know is, he killed someone from my Great Zhou. A life for a life. I want his life, and no one can stop me."

Fang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Zhou Ling, Great Zhou is also under the jurisdiction of the Guanxuan Universe."

Zhou Ling sneered and replied, "What? You think a young brat like you can use the Guanxuan Universe to pressure me? Do you even know who you're talking to? You're not worthy."

Fang Yu's gaze grew icy. "Zhou Ling, you brutally murdered the guards of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, illegally used torture, and forcibly detained one of the managers. You've severely violated Guanxuan law. Under its statutes, I have the authority to apprehend you. Men, take him down!"

At his command, two black-robed elites behind Fang Yu stepped forward, exuding an overwhelming aura that locked onto Zhou Ling in the distance.

But Zhou Ling suddenly roared, "I'd like to see who dares!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, a terrifying force erupted from him, instantly suppressing the two black-robed men.

The cultivators from the Great Zhou, standing beside Zhou Ling, stepped forward one by one, glaring menacingly at Fang Yu and his group.

Seeing this, Fang Yu's face darkened. "Zhou Ling, are you trying to rebel?"

"Rebel?" Zhou Ling scoffed. "Fang Yu, what are you worth? You think you can apprehend me? Let me make this clear—I killed the people from the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, and I tortured Manager Li. What can you do about it?"

Fang Yu's eyes narrowed further. "Take him down."

Swoosh!

The two black-robed cultivators disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Ling barked, "Kill them!"

A fierce battle broke out immediately.

In no time, Fang Yu's expression turned grim. His side was at a disadvantage. He had rushed here without summoning the Guanxuan Guards from Guanxuan Academy, bringing only two personal guards. He hadn't anticipated Zhou Ling's audacity to so brazenly defy Guanxuan law.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a voice resounded from the heavens, and a middle-aged man strode forward.

It was none other than Chen Xiao, the leader of the Chen Clan.

Zhou Ling glanced at Chen Xiao, his brows furrowing. Just then, Chen Xiao's voice echoed in Zhou Ling's mind, "Zhou Ling, this person has a special status. He shares a bond with the Academy Master. He must not be killed. Allow me to mediate."

Zhou Ling frowned but remained silent, signaling his tacit approval.

Chen Xiao turned to Fang Yu and smiled. "Department Chief Fang, I am Chen Xiao, the leader of the Chen Clan. This is merely a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Fang Yu asked coldly.

Chen Xiao nodded, extending his palm. A storage ring floated to Fang Yu, filled with hundreds of thousands of spiritual crystals, along with some eternal crystals.

Fang Yu frowned.

Chen Xiao smiled at Fang Yu. "Department Chief Fang, while the Chen Clan may not compare to the great clans like the Nalan or Ye Clans, we still hold some influence in the Guanxuan Universe. The Chen Clan wishes to make your acquaintance."

Fang Yu glanced at the ring and said, "Chen Clan Leader, are you trying to bribe me?"

Chen Xiao met his gaze. "I merely wish to befriend you."

Fang Yu stared directly at him. "And if I refuse?"

Chen Xiao's smile remained. "Even if you don't think much of my Chen Clan, surely you'll give face to the Great Zhou?"

"As if!" Fang Yu suddenly roared, pointing angrily at Chen Xiao. "Let me tell you something—besides my Brother Yang, I don't give face to anyone! The Chen Clan and Great Zhou have openly defied Guanxuan Laws and disregarded human life. All of you must die!"
