Above the Gate of Enlightened Deity Cave, dark clouds loomed, wailing souls screamed in anger, and the stench of blood filled the air!
The ground was covered with bloody remains, ruins, and cries of despair echoed everywhere.
"Damn it!" Cang Kun gnashed his teeth, his face twitching fiercely, filled with murderous intent, as he continued to look inside the Gate of Enlightened Deity Cave.
The original standing place of the great stone with the three large characters "Enlightened Deity Cave" was already collapsed! A heap of rubble, debris everywhere.
Meanwhile, inside the Gate of Enlightened Deity Cave, there were still groups of cultivators, with ferocious, greedy smiles on their faces, patrolling, looting treasure everywhere.
Weapons glinted coldly in the sunlight.
"Damn it! These bastards, people from Cloud Dragon Mountain? Master, let me go down and shred them to pieces!" Blue Whale also noticed everything at this time. His eyes were blood-red, face snarled, growling lowly, fiercely looking towards Chen Fei, lips full of boundless murderous intent.
Since becoming Chen Fei's servant, Blue Whale had treated Enlightened Deity Cave as his home, his base! But now?
But now, his home, his base had been invaded, uprooted, slaughtered mercilessly! His heart felt like a powder keg, on the verge of exploding.
However, upon hearing this, Chen Fei didn't speak immediately. His eyes were cold and sinister, fixed on the depths of the ruins of Enlightened Deity Cave.
Where originally there should have been a picturesque grove, surrounded by spiritual energy, and rising mists.
But now, all of it had completely vanished. Towering trees were uprooted, the ground was pockmarked, pavilions and palaces collapsed, blood stained the earth, smoke rose...
And in the midst of that smoke, an elderly man in a pale yellow Dao Robe sat arrogantly on a throne amidst a crowd, with a disdainful, cruel, mocking look in his eyes, gazing at the blood-stained land before him, a dense crowd kneeling.
The ones kneeling at the forefront were Iron One and his eight companions!
Behind them were Mon Yi and others, originally from Golden Toad Cave, the earliest followers of Chen Fei.
But now, every one of them had their hands bound by a dazzling silver circle, being trampled on from behind, kneeling on the ground! With disheveled hair, covered in blood, flesh blurred and blood flowing profusely...
Yet, even so, their faces still wore cold smiles at this moment. Heads held high, with a proud and defiant expression, eyes icy cold.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fei felt as if his heart had been fiercely stabbed by a needle, a surge of rage nearly exploding.
"Heh."
At this moment, the elderly man on the throne stood up with a sneer, clapping his hands at the Eight Great Iron Guards and the others, his cloudy eyes dismissive, said faintly, "I must say, for ants like you, your bones are actually quite hard?"
Hearing this, the Eight Great Iron Guards and others only coldly laughed without speaking.
This cold laugh caused the smile on the old man's face to stall slightly. However, he soon shook his head, looking at the Eight Great Iron Guards, said lightly, "You eight have some skills, why not pledge allegiance to my Jade Sandalwood Sect?"
"As long as you eight agree, you can stand up now, and from this day forward, Enlightened Deity Cave can still be yours! How about it?"
The old man looked at the Eight Great Iron Guards, his eyes deeply said. A hint of greed in his gaze.
During the previous battle, even though it was a crushing defeat, the strength and potential demonstrated by the Eight Great Iron Guards had stirred Yun Tan Taoist's heart.
Eight Demon Beasts of Second Stage Middle Period that could demonstrate combat power comparable to cultivators of Qi Refining Ninth Layer! Such potential, such talent, if they could be subdued, would certainly become a great asset under Yu Tan Taoist in the future!
This is why he was being so patient, dragging out time here with a bunch of dying people.
"Want us eight brothers to submit to you? Look at yourself, what kind of thing are you, you think you're worthy? Pah!"
Upon hearing this, the extremely hot-tempered Iron Three immediately started to coldly laugh, spat, ferociously said.
Not to mention they had already become Chen Fei's servants, even if not, the eight brothers would never beg for compassion from bloodthirsty enemies, bowing down servile. What difference is that from being a dog?
Smack!
Yu Tan Taoist's face twitched with anger, his expression twisted, filled with extreme gloom and fury.
"Ungrateful dog!" He then slapped the air, forming a hand with spiritual energy, smacking Iron Three's face hard! The crisp sound of a slap, yet its force was extraordinarily heavy, knocking him to the ground!
Boom!
Yu Tan Taoist wasn't satisfied with this either! He walked over, stepped on Iron Three's face, grinding back and forth viciously, breaking Iron Three's nose bone, blood flowing out, extremely miserable.
"Old Three!" The remaining seven of the Eight Great Iron Guards roared with monstrous expressions, in extreme pain.
However, Iron Three was strong enough!
In such a situation, he actually smiled?
"I'm, I'm fine!" Iron Three smiled with a fierce and grim expression, staring at the deeply gloomy Yu Tan Taoist and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, disdainfully saying, "If you have the guts, kill me! Anyway, someone will avenge me, haha, hahaha!"
"Avenge you?" Yu Tan Taoist let out an angry laugh, suddenly releasing his foot, staring at Iron Three, and coldly said, "Do you really think that your pathetic Cave Master, or those two old beasts Cang Kun and Blue Whale, are savior immortals!?"
"Rest assured, if they dare to come, I, Yu Tan Taoist, will 'guarantee' here that I will burn their corpses and grind their bones, not leaving a single one!" Yu Tan Taoist said sharply.
"Haha, really? Just you?"
Iron Three, knowing he was bound to die, let go, looking at Yu Tan Taoist, defiantly taunting, "Yu Tan old man, I advise you to enjoy yourself more soon, otherwise, when our eight brothers and master come to kill at your door, you'll lose your head eventually!"
"Lose your head... good, very good! You have a tough bone, don't you? You all have a tough bone, don't you?" Yu Tan Taoist was trembling with rage, fiercely stomping once again on Iron Three's face, and his sullen gaze fell on the faces of each of the remaining Eight Great Iron Guards.
But what responded to him was a series of unwavering cold smiles. Yu Tan Taoist's fingers trembled with rage! His face was full of grim ferocity.
"Fine, you refuse to submit, is that it? Well, since that's the case, I'll beat you into submission!" Yu Tan Taoist roared grimly.
"Smack!"
Sauntering over, came a whip full of barbs, appearing directly, viciously resembling a venomous serpent, whooshing through the air, and fiercely struck the head of a person kneeling behind the Eight Great Iron Guards!
With a muffled bang, the person's head burst open like a smashed watermelon! Blood spattered onto the ground, staining a large area... the person died instantly, and their body fell straight down.
Seeing this scene, Iron Three's body immediately stiffened, pupils shrinking to pinpoints!
"You bastard! Blackwind, you damned bastard, if you have the guts, come at me! Killing others, what sort of skill is that?" He roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot.
Bang!
Another muffled bang, and behind him, another person's head exploded, and the body fell straight down! Blood covered the ground.
Blackwind walked out with a cruel smile, looked at Iron Three, then turned to Yu Tan Taoist, cupping his hands respectfully, "Ancestor, these dogs are all tough bones, beating them or killing them is useless. Better to use others' lives to threaten them, if they don't submit, kill one with every breath!"
Bang!
Another muffled bang, Blackwind's barb whip lashed out like a Poison Scorpion, another person's head exploded, blood sprayed everywhere, and the headless body fell straight down...
"Ah! Blackwind, you damned bastard! You'll face retribution!" Iron Three grimaced, as the other Eight Great Iron Guards screamed hysterically.
"Retribution?" Blackwind sneered, full of grimness, "Sorry, I don't believe in retribution, I only know, if you eight refuse to submit, who should I kill next?"
Seeing this, Yu Tan Taoist smiled coldly and stopped speaking. Because he realized, Blackwind was indeed much better at 'persuading surrender'!
Haha, hahaha!
The remnants of the Enlightened Deity Cave, kneeling on the ground, trembled, their eyes numb, shaking as they bowed their heads.
"You don't believe in retribution?" Just then, a slightly trembling 'calm' voice echoed, causing everyone present to shiver internally.
"Who? Who the hell's pretending to be a ghost? Get out here!" Blackwind's face changed, his heart panic-stricken for no reason, yet still yelling wildly with a fierce appearance.
"Humph!"
Yu Tan Taoist was initially stunned, but then his expression turned cold.
Soon, a terrifying aura and momentum appeared, stirring from afar, brewing constantly, about to transform into a storm that could destroy everything.
Boom!
But in the next moment, terrifying crimson flames congregated in the clouds, forming a massive palm, crashing down! Blackwind's face instantly changed, his body stiffened, because he could feel, this palm was aimed at him.
The suffocating pressure almost made him stop breathing. His heart was about to completely stop beating.
"Since you don't believe in retribution, I'll make you believe now, retribution is you damn well go die!" The voice resounded again, full of grim fury! Crimson flames filled the sky, the palm descended.
"No..." Blackwind screamed a fear-filled cry, seemingly falling into madness!
However, the palm mercilessly crushed down on him, in an instant, grinding him into flesh pulp!
Hiss! The next moment, everyone plunged into terrifying silence.
One palm, crushed the Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer Blackwind, into flesh, pulp!? This, this, this damn well is...
