Chapter 285: Wiped Out in One Go!

The people of the Black Demon Clan spoke in an extremely arrogant manner, as if completely ignoring everyone else’s presence.

It was as though only members of their clan were on the scene, treating all others as if they did not matter in the slightest.

Such an utterly brazen attitude immediately made the surrounding crowd’s faces darken.

“The Black Demon Clan doesn’t actually think of itself as one of the Six Great Sects, does it?”

“It seems my sword has yet to taste the blood of anyone from the Black Demon Clan!”

Hearing this, the leading disciple of the Black Demon Clan turned to look at the disciples of the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb.

His tone was cold and arrogant as he said:

“Yellow Sea Sword Tomb? Just a bunch of sword-playing sissies.”

“I see you’ve been fighting all this time without getting to the point—why don’t I help you speed things up?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple of the Black Demon Clan instantly lunged at the five from the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb.

Without hesitation, he severed five of his own fingers and threw them over.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

A series of violent explosions erupted, catching the disciples of the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb completely off guard.

“Maniac! He’s a complete maniac!”

They hadn’t expected that a mere couple of mocking words would provoke an immediate attack!

Could it be he wasn’t afraid of being hunted by everyone present?

But to their surprise, the people of the Thousand Words Pavilion, the Red Star Divine Palace, and the World Tower had no intention of helping. Instead, the three factions quickly descended into chaotic melee.

In the midst of the chaos, one disciple from the World Tower even found the time to smash a fist against the restriction.

A full-force punch from a Celestial Heart Realm cultivator caused the entire restriction to tremble, revealing ancient runes imbued with Dao Rhymes.

“There are ancient runes! This really is an ancient ruin!”

“Kill them! Stop the people from the World Tower!”

During the battle, occasional attacks struck the restriction. Everyone wanted to seize the opportunity to break it open, grab some treasures, and then escape immediately.

Otherwise, once more people were drawn here, there would be no benefits left to claim.

Clearly, many harbored such thoughts, which led to the restriction being attacked more and more frequently.

At that moment, far away, Gu Fan slowly rose to his feet and said:

“Everyone, the show-watching session is over—it’s time for us to make our move!”

“This restriction won’t hold for much longer. If it gets broken later, it’ll be troublesome. Let’s strike now!”

The senior brother nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately stood up, and the seven of them released their full auras, descending directly over the battlefield.

Gu Fan clapped his hands with a warm smile and said:

“Everyone, hear me out!”

His voice, bolstered by mysterious power, instantly drowned out the noise of battle.

Everyone instinctively turned to look at Gu Fan.

When the people from the Thousand Words Pavilion and the Red Star Divine Palace saw who it was, they exclaimed in surprise:

“People from the Xian’ai Sect!”

“You actually dare to come back?”

“Come back? We never left—we were just waiting nearby for all of you to arrive.”

Gu Fan said this with a smile, and his words caused a slight stir among the crowd.

They never left, and were waiting for everyone to come?

Normally, upon encountering such a ruin or treasure trove, wouldn’t one try to open it immediately and snatch everything inside?

Yet they stayed put, waiting for others to arrive—this reeked of conspiracy.

“What do you mean?”

At this moment, someone from the Black Demon Clan sneered:

“Another bunch of fools who don’t know their place. Disciples of the Xian’ai Sect… heh heh.”

The people from the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb also snorted coldly:

“Mere Xian’ai Sect, daring to be so arrogant—you must be courting death.”

Hearing the jeers from below, Gu Fan seemed bored.

“How dull. Can’t you say anything other than these same lines?”

He then lazily cleared his throat and said:

“All right, all right, I don’t have time to trade barbs with you. I’ll give every single one of you an opportunity.”

This statement only made the many factions below laugh all the more.

“Hahaha! Give us an opportunity? That’s rich. Since when has the Xian’ai Sect gotten so full of itself?”

“Even if we’re both top-tier second-rate forces, when has my Yellow Sea Sword Tomb ever been looked down upon by the Xian’ai Sect?”

The people of the Black Demon Clan spoke with extreme arrogance, as if completely ignoring everyone else.

It was as though only members of their own clan were present, treating the rest as if they were nothing.

Such an utterly brazen attitude immediately made the faces of the crowd darken.

“The Black Demon Clan doesn’t think they’re one of the Six Great Sects, do they?”

“It seems my sword has yet to cut down anyone from the Black Demon Clan!”

The leading disciple of the Black Demon Clan turned upon hearing this, looking toward the disciples of the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb.

With a cold and arrogant tone, he said:

“Yellow Sea Sword Tomb? Just a bunch of sword-playing sissies.”

“You lot have been fighting for so long without getting to the point—why don’t I help you with that?”

The moment he finished speaking, the disciple of the Black Demon Clan instantly lunged toward the five disciples of the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb.

Right from the start, he severed five of his own fingers and threw them over.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

A series of violent explosions instantly caught the disciples of the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb off guard.

“Madman! He really is a madman!”

They had never expected that a mere couple of mocking words would make him attack outright!

Wasn’t he afraid of being hunted by everyone present?

But unexpectedly, the people from the Thousand Words Pavilion, the Red Star Divine Palace, and the World Tower had no intention of helping. Instead, the three sides quickly fell into chaotic battle.

Among them, a disciple from the World Tower even found the time to deliver a heavy punch to the restriction.

A full-force blow from a Celestial Heart Realm cultivator made the entire restriction tremble, revealing ancient runes imbued with Dao Rhymes.

“There are ancient runes! This really is an ancient ruin!”

“Kill! Stop the people from the World Tower!”

Throughout the battle, several attacks occasionally struck the restriction. Everyone wanted to take the chance to break it open, snatch what they could, and escape immediately.

Otherwise, once more people were drawn here, they might not get anything at all.

Clearly, many shared this thought, which led to the restriction being attacked more and more frequently.

At this moment, far in the distance, Gu Fan slowly stood up and said:

“Everyone, the show-watching is over—it’s time for us to act!”

“This restriction won’t hold much longer. If it really gets broken later, that’ll be bad. Let’s make our move now!”

The senior brother agreed as well.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately stood, and the seven of them released their auras in full, descending directly over the battlefield.

Gu Fan clapped his hands with a warm smile and said:

“Everyone, hear me out!”

His voice, amplified by mysterious power, instantly drowned out the clamor of battle.

Everyone instinctively looked toward Gu Fan.

When the people of the Thousand Words Pavilion and the Red Star Divine Palace saw who it was, they exclaimed in surprise:

“People from the Xian’ai Sect!”

“You actually dare to come back?”

“Come back? We never left—we’ve been waiting nearby for all of you to arrive.”

Gu Fan said this with a smile, his words causing slight surprise among the crowd.

Never left, and waiting for everyone to come?

Normally, upon finding such a ruin or treasure vault, wouldn’t one try to open it at once and take everything inside?

Yet they had stayed in place, waiting for others to arrive—this sounded like the makings of a conspiracy.

“What do you mean?”

At this moment, someone from the Black Demon Clan sneered:

“Another bunch of fools who don’t know their place. Disciples of the Xian’ai Sect… heh heh.”

The people from the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb also snorted coldly:

“Mere Xian’ai Sect, daring to be so arrogant—you must be seeking death.”

Listening to the jeers from below, Gu Fan seemed rather bored.

“How dull. Can’t you say anything other than those same tired lines?”

He then lazily cleared his throat and said:

“All right, all right, no time for pointless bickering. I’ll give every single one of you a chance.”

Hearing this, the many factions below only laughed even harder.

“Hahaha! Give us a chance? That’s a joke. Since when has the Xian’ai Sect gotten so high-and-mighty?”

“Even if we’re both top-tier second-rate forces, when has my Yellow Sea Sword Tomb ever been looked down on by the Xian’ai Sect?”

“Give you a chance? Hehe, a chance to kill you?”

The crowd burst into mocking laughter, but then saw Gu Fan’s expression turn indifferent, his gaze sweeping over everyone below without a trace of emotion as he said:

“Everyone, hand over your storage pouches now, and I can give you the chance to crush your token and quit the trial. Otherwise, I’ll count to three—bear the consequences yourselves!”

At this moment, the senior brother behind him said with some concern:

“Junior Brother Gu Fan, shouldn’t you explain it to them? Otherwise, they definitely won’t know how terrifying your method is, and naturally, they won’t surrender.”

Gu Fan said helplessly:

“Senior Brother, does anyone on the battlefield take the initiative to reveal their trump card to others? I already said I’d give them a chance—whether they take it seriously is their business. What does it have to do with me?”

The senior brother was momentarily at a loss for words.

But if Gu Fan didn’t say anything, who would have thought that a disciple at the peak of the Mid-stage Solar Radiance Realm could have a means to annihilate everyone present?

Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t choose to surrender.

So… wasn’t this just a death sentence?

It was like a child saying to you, “Surrender and kneel, or I’ll kill you.”

Only a fool would actually kneel—only to find out… you’re dead.

Thus, a thought suddenly flashed through the senior brother’s mind—could it be that Junior Brother Gu Fan never intended to let this group go in the first place?

At this time, Gu Fan stopped wasting time. He calmly looked at everyone and said:

“I’ll count to three. Anyone who doesn’t hand over their storage pouch and quit, I’ll take it as you’ve given up your chance.”

“Three!”

Seeing Gu Fan still wearing that lofty expression, many of the cultivators below, apart from sneering, had grown impatient.

A member of the Black Demon Clan coldly snorted:

“I’ll give you a chance too—come down and kneel, or today will be the day you die!”

Gu Fan ignored him and continued:

“Two!”

The chief disciple of the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb also couldn’t be bothered to waste words. He directly rode his sword light, pointing it toward Gu Fan and saying:

“The show’s over. You’d better come down and meet your death!”

In the next moment, sword light filled the sky, countless razor-sharp sword auras wantonly slashing toward Gu Fan.

“Three!”

The corners of Gu Fan’s mouth curled into a smile.

“Safe journey!”

Instantly, an incomparably terrifying aura slowly rose in all directions—an aura filled with boundless savagery and the ultimate destruction of the world.

This sudden change immediately caused the faces of everyone present to change.

“This is… run!”

“Damn it! With such a terrifying aura, staying here means certain death!”

“Run! Hurry!”

At this moment, Gu Fan merely did one simple thing—he extended his finger toward the void.

Golden ripples appeared in the air, and the next moment, they formed an inverted dome that slowly descended toward the ground.

Now everyone understood what Gu Fan meant by “one chance”!

“No! I’ll hand over my storage pouch—spare my life!”

“Xian’ai Sect, we of the Black Demon Clan admit defeat—let us go!”

“We of the Yellow Sea Sword Tomb too! All our storage pouches are yours!”

Gu Fan, however, waved his hand, pulling the nearby relic treasure vault into his possession to prevent it from being destroyed in the coming explosion.

Then he smiled brightly at the crowd.

“Everyone, safe travels. I won’t see you off!”

Only then did everyone realize that this had been a trap all along—a trap set by the devil before them to slaughter them all!

There was no relic treasure vault—only boundless killing intent!

Boom!!

As Gu Fan and his group swiftly retreated, a deafening roar erupted. The earth shook violently, and it was as if the heavens had collapsed and the ground had caved in.

Those trapped within the golden protective dome didn’t have time to escape and were all engulfed by the terrifying explosion!

Meanwhile, the Xian’ai Sect group, already far away, now wore extremely complicated expressions as they looked at the distant explosion before turning their gazes back to Gu Fan.

In their eyes, there was nothing but deep wariness!
