Chapter 114: Killing into the Red Shadow Sect
Dongyue City has four major forces: the city master Pang family, Zhao family, Sun family, and Chiying Sect. Among them, the Pang family is the strongest, as it suppresses the development of other forces, making these few families truly powerful in Dongyue City. The Zhao family, Sun family, and Chiying Sect are first-rate forces under the Pang family, and excluding the Pang family, these three major forces can be considered the overlords of Dongyue City.
Two years ago, the lord of the city, Pang, led several powerful individuals from Dongyue City to the Black Earth Plain to compete for relics. Since then, those people have never returned. Later, the kingdoms of Shan and Zhao formed an alliance to resist the Great Yan Kingdom, and the royal family issued a decree to recruit the remaining strong men from the Pang clan as well. After that, there were almost no powerful individuals left in the Pang clan, and for a time, Dongyue City was in turmoil.
For the past two years, Dongyue City has been in a state of constant infighting, and the city lord, Pang Shi, has faded out of everyone's sight. Now, there are only three major forces left in Dongyue City: the Zhao family, the Sun family, and the Chiying Sect. The three major forces are in a state of triangular balance. As the three major forces grow stronger, Dongyue City is gradually returning to calmness, but the underground struggles are unclear.
Chi Ying Zong is located in the west of Dong Yue City. Nowadays, the entire western part of the city belongs to Chi Ying Zong's domain, and countless small families are all subordinate to it.
The entire Red Shadow Sect was vast, with many places being off-limits to ordinary disciples. At this time, many disciples within the Red Shadow Sect were competing against each other, honing their martial skills.
"Cheng Yang, your strength has increased significantly recently!" A disciple of the Red Shadow Sect stopped his practice, panting heavily, with his chest heaving violently.
His opposite fellow disciple, Cheng Yang, sat on the ground with a thud, his hands propping up the ground, his face raised to the sky, and he began to inhale heavily.
After a long time, he looked at his companion opposite him and said: "Since my Red Shadow Sect merged with several forces, every disciple in the sect has gained more cultivation resources. I was originally not lacking in accumulation, and after having the sect's allocated resources, my strength naturally increased greatly."
"Yes, in the past, there was Pang's suppression, and my Red Shadow Sect couldn't develop well. Now that Pang is no longer in its original prosperity, it's time for my Red Shadow Sect to soar to new heights! If we can destroy the Zhao and Sun families, my Red Shadow Sect may even be able to replace Pang's former position, just thinking about it makes me excited!"
At this moment, two loud roars suddenly sounded in front of the gate of the Red Shadow Sect.
"Who are you? Why did you intrude on my Red Shadow Sect!"
"You dare to lay hands on me!"
A man in a green robe appeared, with only a short black hair on his head, and a cruel cold smile on his face. Without any warning, he struck directly, and the two guardians were seriously injured, falling to one side and coughing up blood constantly.
"Chi Ying Zong, but it's come to this. Two years ago you were chasing me down and I was in a desperate state! Now looking at you again, you're not even worth striking." The person speaking was none other than Xu Hua, who had just arrived at Dong Yue City.
Those faint words, however, caused the two guardians to suddenly narrow their eyes. They immediately judged: This person has a grudge against our Red Shadow Sect and has clearly come this time for revenge.
While Xu Hua was speaking, he had already secretly used the "Life-Draining Technique" to quietly drain the life force from the two men's bodies. In an instant, they felt something amiss and just as they wanted to cry out for help, Xu Hua's fist struck them down. Under Xu Hua's powerful strength, everything was so fragile, and the two men died instantly, their blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
After Xu Hua killed the two, dozens of powerful auras burst out from within the Red Shadow Sect and quickly rushed towards Xu Hua. The remaining disciples of the Red Shadow Sect also looked in this direction, discussing among themselves.
"Wasn't that the voice of Guardian Elder just now? Is there still someone who dares to come and cause trouble in my Red Shadow Sect?" Some disciples of the Red Shadow Sect were not quite convinced. After all, the current Red Shadow Sect was unmatched in East Moon City, even the Zhao and Sun families, also among the three major powers of East Moon City, were slightly weaker than the Red Shadow Sect.
"Could it be that the Zhao and Sun families have joined forces to attack!" someone else said.
"Impossible! Didn't you hear what Elder Shou just said? The newcomer is clearly alone!" someone immediately retorted.
While the disciples of Red Shadow Sect were guessing, a master of Red Shadow Sect had already arrived at the gate.
Soon, Xu Hua saw the twenty-five figures standing in mid-air, looking down at him. These twenty-five people were all strong men of the Wu Huang, among whom one was an old acquaintance of Xu Hua's, who was none other than Wu Hong, who had led a group to hunt down Xu Hua two years ago. At this moment, he was standing behind Chi Yan, the master of the Chi Ying Sect.
"They were killed by you!" Chi Lang glanced at the two corpses beside Xu Hua, their faces completely disfigured.
Several Red Shadow Sect elders also wailed: "Elder Seventh and Elder Eighth, you died so miserably!"
"Kill you!!!" Many people glared at Xu Hua with malice.
Xu Hua ignored them and looked at Wu Hong, sneering: "Two years without seeing each other, it seems you've already forgotten me."
"It's actually you!" Wu Hong was somewhat incredulous. Over the past two years, due to the complex situation in Dongyue City, he had not had time to continue searching for Xu Hua and Luo Cheng. In the past two years, Xu Hua's appearance had also undergone some subtle changes. At first, when Wu Hong saw Xu Hua, he did not recognize him, only feeling that he looked somewhat familiar. However, when Xu Hua gazed at him with a cold smile, he suddenly remembered who Xu Hua was.
"Wu Hong, who is he after all?" The Great Elder has not returned for two years, and Wu Hong also surrendered to Chi Lang a year ago.
"It seems you've remembered." Xu Hua smiled faintly and casually kicked the two corpses on the ground away.
"Damn it!" "To hell with it!"
Three people couldn't bear to watch Xu Hua's movements and immediately attacked him. The three seemed to have a vendetta against Xu Hua, their faces twisted in extreme ferocity as they surrounded and attacked him.
"Go die!" The killer fist danced, swinging out a series of fist shadows, shaking the mountains and rivers.
Chiyo didn't stop them. Of these three people, one was a late Wu Emperor, two were mid-Wu Emperors. In his view, it was just right to try the strength of the person in front of him.
Looking at the three people who were attacking him head-on, Xu Hua's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his hands clenched into fists to meet the three Martial Emperors who were rushing towards him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah..."
Three consecutive crashes were followed by a shrill and mournful cry.
After the exchange, Xu Hua was hit by both of them and retreated several steps in a row. The elder of the late Wu Emperor's period had his fists stained with blood, and Xu Hua's powerful force shook his hands uncontrollably, and several pieces of hand bones were shattered between his fists, bleeding all over the ground, and he could only let out a loud roar to vent his pain.
"Old Master Lu!!" Everyone was shocked by the old master's miserable cry.
"Who is he, after all?" Chi Lang's face was grave to the extreme. Lu Zhanglao was one of the few powerful warriors in the late Wu Huang period within the Red Shadow Sect. Even if Chi Lang was stronger than Lu Zhanglao by a hair, he couldn't possibly be like Xu Hua, who had severely injured Lu Zhanglao with just one strike and even withstood attacks from two mid-Wu Huang warriors without issue.
"It's Xu Hua!" Wu Hong was also stunned. Two years ago, Xu Hua's strength was at most equivalent to the early stage of the Martial Emperor, but now he can defeat a strong martial artist in the late stage of the Martial Emperor with just one move, how terrifying is this talent!
"He's the one who killed my son, Xu Hua!!!" Chi Lang gritted his teeth and almost shouted it out, his eyes turned bright red in an instant, a powerful aura surged out from within him.
"Kill him for me!" With a loud shout, everyone charged at Xu Hua. At the same time, Lu Zhang Lao retreated to one side, he had suffered serious injuries and was unable to exert his full strength.
In an instant, twenty-four Martial Emperors attacked Xu Hua. If it were any other Martial Emperor, even one on the verge of becoming a Martial Honored, they would not be able to withstand such a large-scale attack by multiple Martial Emperors. However, Xu Hua merely smiled coldly in response. With his possession of the Life Crystal, he was least afraid of group battles; as long as his life force had not been depleted, he would forever hold the upper hand.
"Great timing! Back then, I was hunted by your Red Shadow Sect, today I'll kill you all and leave no chicken or dog alive." Xu Hua said coldly as he attacked the people from the Red Shadow Sect. However, Xu Hua couldn't fly. Fortunately, these people didn't know that either, so they rushed down to fight him. Otherwise, he would have been left standing there helplessly, unable to do anything about them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Figures intersect, fists and palms crisscrossing, everywhere is a fierce attack. Even if Xu Hua's speed was faster, he couldn't dodge so many attacks, but he didn't need to dodge either. Xu Hua's combat power was strong, but his defense was even stronger than his combat power. In the two years of Di Xie Huo, his physical body had already compared to a spiritual instrument. These Wu Huang's attacks were strong, but they were also useless when hitting the spiritual instrument. Only the attacks of the late-stage Wu Huang could make Xu Hua feel pain!
In just a few breaths, Xu Hua was hit by several palms. Even someone as strong as him was forced to retreat repeatedly. However, his opponent fared even worse. Xu Hua had almost used his full strength in every strike, and the force of nearly 80,000 kilograms was not something that an early-stage Martial Emperor could easily withstand. The elders and guardians of the Martial Emperor's sect were reduced to miserable cries under Xu Hua's iron fists, ultimately turning into blood and bones scattered all over the ground.
Xu Hua's "Devouring Life Technique" was operating at all times, and the endless life energy around him was pouring into his body, condensing into crystal-like objects that shone brightly and were dazzling to behold.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Another shrill cry of despair, it was Wu Hong. Two years ago, Xu Hua had been hunted down by him, and today Xu Hua's strength had greatly increased, how could he let him off? In the moment that Wu Hong attacked, Xu Hua disregarded everyone else and launched a fierce attack on him.
"How did you become so powerful in just two years, I refuse to accept it!!!" Wu Hong was after all a strong warrior in the middle period of the Martial Emperor, Xu Hua's powerful blow didn't immediately take his life, but it took away half of it, a big hole appeared on his chest, fresh blood gushing out, what a miserable sight.
