“Senior Brother Zhan Lan!”
Taking the Martial Emperor War Seal, Liu Chuyou’s hand trembled, his eyes brimming with tears, wanting to say something but unable to find the words.
“Avenge us!” Zhan Lan cut him off.
“Elders and fellow disciples, I’m sorry,” Elder Wei Dong suddenly spoke, then threw a war seal directly to Lin Xiao.
“Lin Xiao, you’re a rebellious genius. You’ll surely avenge us. This Martial Emperor War Seal is useless to us!” Another Half-Step Martial Emperor also tossed a war seal to Lin Xiao.
Clearly, they had given up on escaping.
“Junior Brother Lin Xiao, Senior Brother Liu, you must avenge us!”
“Junior Brother Lin Xiao, as a Martial Emperor genius, you can surely avenge us and kill those nine Martial Emperors!”
“Senior Brother Liu, kill the other elders and disciples of the three sects for us!”
“Lin Xiao, Liu Chuyou, flatten the three sects for us!”
“Those dogs from the three sects attacked while our sect master is away. When the sect master returns, they’ll pay in blood!”
“Yes, when the sect master returns, when Junior Brother Lin Xiao and Senior Brother Liu grow stronger, it’ll be their sects’ end!”
“A rebellious genius will surely flatten the three sects!”
…
Angry and bold voices rang out as disciples and elders spoke, fully supporting Zhan Lan’s and the two Half-Step Martial Emperors’ decisions, as well as those of the Great Elder and Second Elder.
Lin Xiao and Liu Chuyou were the Spear Dragon Sect’s hope for the future.
The nine Martial Emperors were too powerful. Rather than all perishing, it was better to give the two a chance to escape.
Catching the two Martial Emperor War Seals, Lin Xiao’s heart ached, his fists trembling tightly.
All this in the Spear Dragon Sect was because of him.
If he hadn’t reached the peak of Haoran Mountain, causing the Haoran War Pupil to vanish, the sect wouldn’t have been attacked or damaged.
Now, the Spear Dragon Sect was about to be destroyed before his eyes.
The Great Elder and Second Elder abandoned others, even Zhan Lan, choosing him, a new disciple.
They might even sacrifice themselves to give him and Liu Chuyou a chance.
These elders and disciples, to give him an extra war seal, willingly sacrificed their own chances of escape.
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt an urge to roar, but he held back.
His divine sense reached into the storage ring of Xutian Wangyue, but sadly, there was no sign of a breakthrough.
He didn’t dare release Xutian Wangyue. Without reaching the seventh tier, it would only die in vain.
“If I don’t die today, I, Lin Xiao, will never betray you or the Spear Dragon Sect!” Lin Xiao said, his voice trembling with resolve.
He knew this wasn’t the time for sentimentality; he had no other choice.
As he spoke, his other hand, holding the Nether Heaven Demon Pillar and infusing it with power, was about to withdraw to join the two Martial Emperor elders.
But at that moment, the nine Martial Emperors’ attacks suddenly intensified.
“Boom!”
Lin Xiao suddenly felt a force several times stronger than what he was infusing surge back from the formation’s key point peak, hitting him.
A deafening explosion followed as the peak shattered, terrifying energy erupting, sending countless fragments and dust shooting in all directions.
Pfft!
Hit by the backlash, Lin Xiao suffered severe injuries, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The explosion’s debris and dust sent him flying backward.
Not only Lin Xiao, but other elders and disciples faced the same fate.
All were injured by the formation’s backlash and the peak’s explosion, sustaining heavy wounds.
Even Yun Jing and Zhong Moyang suffered a backlash several times their own strength, the consequence of infusing power into the formation.
Their terrifying power, multiplied, caused them to spit blood and fly backward.
As the key point peak shattered, the formation barrier in the sky broke, and the energy waves from the nine Martial Emperors’ attacks poured downward.
Everyone felt as if the sky were collapsing.
Overwhelming energy waves threatened to crush the ground, a suffocating feeling gripping their hearts.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Lin Xiao crushed the Martial Emperor War Seals, not only the two he received but also Dongfang Kaiyuan’s.
He had planned to use them while escaping, but now, if he didn’t act, he would die under the energy waves.
The other elders and disciples would also perish.
Not only Lin Xiao, but Liu Chuyou also crushed Zhan Lan’s war seal.
He already had one from his master, the Third Elder. Two Martial Emperor phantoms shot upward.
Along with Lin Xiao’s three phantoms, they struck the descending energy waves.
A thunderous roar followed, blocking the energy waves.
But the cost was high. Four of the five phantoms vanished.
After all, the waves came from nine Martial Emperors. Though weakened by the barrier, they were still formidable.
The five phantoms, lacking the full power of five Martial Emperors, were fortunate to block the waves.
Surprisingly, Dongfang Kaiyuan’s phantom didn’t vanish after striking.
This showed the war seal’s power.
Dongfang Kaiyuan himself must be immensely strong.
“Hmph, even your true self wouldn’t scare me, let alone a war seal!” Mo Gu’s cold voice rang out, followed by a terrifying black beam surging toward Dongfang Kaiyuan’s phantom.
“Run!” Dongfang Kaiyuan glanced at the group, uttering one word before rushing toward the black beam.
“Boom!”
A massive explosion followed, with torrential waves surging in all directions.
Dongfang Kaiyuan’s phantom dissipated.
No matter how strong, it couldn’t match a Martial Emperor’s true body.
“Capture Lin Xiao alive, kill the rest!”
Mo Gu’s booming shout echoed as the nine Martial Emperors charged from nine directions, their terrifying pressure enveloping everything.
Six rushed toward the heavily injured Yun Jing and Zhong Moyang, while the three from the Demon Sect flew toward Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao panicked. Were he and the Spear Dragon Sect doomed to fall today?
