Chapter 522 - The Fall of a Powerhouse

With the eighteenth blood demon commander’s order, the blood demon army went into full retreat. Their operation to attack the Spring Autumn Sect had failed.

Compared to their arrival, the blood demon army was now in total disarray, wailing as they fled frantically.

However, the Spring Autumn Sect wasn’t about to let them flee so easily.

“Kill them all! Head straight for their nests!” shouted the law enforcement grand elder furiously. His figure flickered rapidly in the air as he chased the fleeing blood demon experts.

Boom, boom, boom!

Yue Zhongtian, Lei Wushuang, and the others directed the war fortresses, charging ahead and crushing everything in their paths, turning large swathes of blood demons into mincemeat.

The blood demon army wished they had extra legs to run faster and escape Chen Fan and the others’ pursuit.

The Spring Autumn Sect’s losses in this battle were huge. Many disciples and elders fell.

Everyone in the crowd held in their sorrow, channeling all their anger into killing every last one of the blood demons to honor their fallen comrades.

Like a heavenly god roaming the mortal world, Chen Fan killed several Core Formation realm blood demon experts.

He ignored the minions, leaving them to the sect’s elite and core disciples.

One of these Core Formation realm experts was equivalent to hundreds, if not over a thousand, Yuanfu realm experts.

Now, every Spring Autumn Sect disciple was venting the burning anger in their hearts, chasing down and killing the fleeing blood demons.

“Ah, damn it, I’ll fight you to the death!”

“Bring them down with us, bring them down with us!”

“Stop chasing me, or I’ll self-detonate and bring you all down with me!”

“......”

Many blood demons were completely terrified due to their pursuers. It was like their souls had escaped their bodies. They tried threatening to detonate themselves and bringing everyone down with them to deter them.

However, the Spring Autumn Sect disciples ignored their threats and attacked even more fiercely.

Some blood demons were pushed into a corner, so they decided to self-detonate.

“Ah, you people forced my hand, let’s perish together!”

Boom, boom, boom!

Many blood demons self-detonated, causing the pursuing Spring Autumn Sect to suffer more fatalities.

Still, the Spring Autumn Sect’s people didn’t stop their chase.

Rumble!

Chen Fan flew past in the air. Many disciples couldn’t escape the blast radius of the blood demons’ self-detonation; their deaths enraged him. A gigantic golden palm descended from the sky as if its purpose was to destroy the world, smashing down violently.

The lands and the mountains immediately shook, and the earth cracked open. Countless blood demons were crushed into meat paste.

He hadn’t planned on attacking the minions, but when their self-detonation began dealing heavy casualties to the sect, he could not just sit back and watch.

Directly stepping in to crush those minions would prevent the Spring Autumn Sect disciples from meaningless deaths.

......

The eighteenth commander’s angry voice rang out from above the nine heavens.

“Ah, damn it, Feng Baiyu, are you trying to force me into self-detonating and bringing everyone down together!”

They had failed to wipe out the Spring Autumn Sect; now, they couldn’t even retreat easily, as the experts from the orthodox alliance had come.

Feng Baiyu and Yun Tu had managed to suppress two Divine Nascent realm blood demons, so with the orthodox alliance’s support, they had utterly beaten up the two blood demons.

The beating had torn open the blood demons’ flesh. They were drenched in blood, looking extremely miserable.

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

They could already smell the aura of death. If this continued, they might end up dying here.

“Self-detonate?” Feng Baiyu laughed coldly when he heard the eighteenth blood demon commander. “I want to see if you have the guts to do so!”

Once again, Feng Baiyu and the Donghua Sect’s high elder attacked the eighteenth blood demon commander with all their strength. Several terrifying attacks fell on him, fresh blood spattering into the sky.

“Slash!” Feng Baiyu shouted coldly, slashing out with his saber.

The terrifying saber light, which had the power to cut through the heavens, instantly destroyed the eighteenth blood demon commander’s bloody hand. Then, the terrifying saber qi continued forward and struck him, sending him flying out.

The Donghua Sect’s high elder immediately seized the opportunity. True primeval surged out wildly. The primeval qi of heaven and earth instantly converged on his position, and he sent a finger art flying at the eighteenth blood demon commander.

“Die!”

Rumble!

The heavens shook under that finger martial skill.

An enormous finger descended from the void, flying toward the eighteenth blood demon commander’s glabella as fast as lightning.

This was the Donghua Sect’s restricted martial art. Only top figures like their sect leader and high elders could cultivate the Sky Lifting Finger.

The eighteenth blood demon commander’s protective true primeval was like a piece of paper or a block of tofu under the Sky Lifting Finger. The attack pierced through and struck his glabella.

A terrifying force erupted, impacting the eighteenth blood demon commander’s soul and making him scream in agony.

“Ah! Damn it, the holy cult will avenge me!” The eighteenth blood demon commander let out a furious roar of indignation that shook heaven and earth.

The Sky Lifting Finger tore his divine nascent to shreds. Starting from his head, every part of him blew up, leaving no corpse behind.

A Divine Nascent realm powerhouse fell just like that, shocking the people.

Divine Nascent realm powerhouses were existences that stood at the absolute apex of the Great Chu Empire. Their life forces were incomparably powerful, so they could live over a thousand years. They would not die easily.

The Floating Cloud Sword Sect, Burning Incense Valley, and Mountain River Sect were top-tier sects with only one Divine Nascent realm powerhouse overseeing them. If that Divine Nascent realm powerhouse died, the sect would immediately go into decline.

Divine Nascent realm powerhouses were stabilizing forces for the sects of the Great Chu Empire.

After killing the eighteenth commander, Feng Baiyu and the Donghua Sect’s high elder immediately made their way toward the nineteenth commander.

The nineteenth blood demon commander was already having difficulty withstanding the attacks of Yun Tu and the other Divine Nascent realm powerhouse. Seeing the two killing the eighteenth blood demon commander and making their way here, he immediately fell into despair.

“I’ll fight you to the death!” A vicious look appeared in the nineteenth blood demon commander’s eyes as he realized there was no way out for him.

A devastating aura erupted from him, causing Yun Tu and the others’ expressions to darken.

“Not good, fall back quickly, he’s going to self-detonate!” Yun Tu and the other Divine Nascent realm powerhouse immediately fell back. Feng Baiyu and the Donghua Sect’s high elder also halted their advance and pulled back.

Rumble!

As a deafening noise rang out, a terrifying storm of destruction spread, slamming Yun Tu and the others.

Their protective true primeval exploded, and they were sent flying back like a sack of potatoes. They vomited large mouthfuls of blood and their complexions turned pale.

The self-detonation of a Divine Nascent realm was very terrifying.

Yun Tu and the other Divine Nascent realm powerhouse were closer to the explosion and suffered heavy injuries.

“

Hmph

, thinking of running? Not happening!” Feng Baiyu shouted coldly at this time. He grabbed at the empty air, as if grasping heaven and earth in his hand, and confined a divine nascent.

The nineteenth blood demon commander had only detonated his physical body earlier. His divine nascent was still intact; as long as his divine nascent managed to escape, he could be reborn by possessing someone else.

Obviously, he did not dare to completely self-detonate.

“No!” The nineteenth blood demon commander’s divine nascent let out terrified shrieks.

However, Feng Baiyu did not show any mercy. He crushed the nineteenth blood demon commander’s divine nascent with his hand.
