Chapter 843 The Rise of the Demon (Part 10)
Han Yi took the Kongsang Ring, scanned it with his mind, and immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
"The Wanhua Palace is indeed well-off... No wonder it caught the eye of the Yuanmiao Sect and even has dedicated protectors..."
The Kongsang Ring was overflowing with all sorts of exotic flowers, rare herbs, and precious medicines.
With this batch of medicine, I dare not say anything else.
At the very least, it can reduce the risk of the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect dying along the way by as much as 30%.
"Let's go."
Han Yi took a light step forward, transforming into a streak of black light that shot into the sky. A white light followed closely behind, also heading into the distance.
……………
……………
Fangcheng, Fushan, Sanshan Sect.
On the central main peak, inside a massive pavilion-like building.
Bang! ! !
"What?! What did you say?! Say it again!!!"
Hong Jiaojiao slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
The immense force of the impact caused the entire hall to shake violently.
"The news is true... I... have not concealed anything..." The tall young man standing in the hall looked somber, his voice trembling slightly.
The young man had regular features, white teeth, and eyes as sharp as swords, gleaming brightly. Beneath his wide robes, his bronze muscles bulged and shone, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. This man was none other than Hong Jiaojiao's most powerful and favored adopted son, Dawn Sword Hong Rui.
"The Palace of a Thousand Flowers... completely wiped out?!?"
After confirming the news was true several times, Hong Jiaojiao plopped down in a chair, her face full of fear.
In just half a day, the Beast Demon Han Yi struck again, beating Xu Feihong to death. The news of the destruction of the entire Wanhua Palace spread like wildfire.
Hong Jiaojiao was specially invited by Xu Feihong to participate in the attack on the Wan Shou Zong convoy.
Since the operation failed, for the Yuanmiao Sect, for the Myriad Flower Palace, for the Myriad Beasts Sect…
Hong Jiaojiao paid extra attention to the relevant developments, even going so far as to suspend the daily operations of the Three Mountains Sect and dispatch a large number of elite troops to secretly observe day and night.
Therefore, as soon as the Wanhua Palace was in trouble, she... immediately received the news. "It only took a little over an hour... just over an hour..."
Hong Jiaojiao unconsciously gripped the broadsword in her hand, muttering to herself.
The operation failed, and everyone dispersed.
She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon...
Clearly, this is retaliation...
Even the two masters of the Yuanmiao Sect couldn't do anything to that person, so naturally he acted without any scruples or fear.
Their Three Mountains Sect is stronger overall than the Myriad Flowers Palace, but only slightly stronger.
Since the Wanhua Palace couldn't stop them, the Sanshan Sect will likely suffer the same fate as them.
"Did the Yuanmiao Sect... intervene? They... can't just sit idly by!!" Hong Jiaojiao asked urgently. The most important thing now is to find out whether the Yuanmiao Sect intervened when the Wanhua Palace was in trouble.
Yuanmiaozong offered his assistance, but it was too late.
Yuanmiaozong completely ignored it and treated it as if it were nothing.
These are two completely different situations.
To go even further.
Yuanmiaozong failed to save Wanhua Palace...
The enemy was too strong; they couldn't save them...
Perhaps the Wanhua Palace sent out its distress call too late, or perhaps the Yuanmiao Sect was too slow and its support was delayed...
Every detail is extremely important.
Hong Jiaojiao's subsequent decisions and judgments will be influenced by this.
It is no exaggeration to say that they could decide the life or death of the Three Mountains Sect.
If Yuanmiao Sect hadn't arrived in time, that would have been fine... but if it was the latter... Yuanmiao Sect simply didn't want to save them...
Thinking of this, Hong Jiaojiao's breathing suddenly became rapid, her fingers clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and a slight spasm appeared.
“This… Yuanmiao Sect…” Hong Rui hesitated.
As for the Myriad Flowers Palace... there's indeed no news of the Yuanmiao Sect offering any assistance...
The key is how he can bring this up tactfully.
After all, once Hong Jiaojiao finds out about this, she will definitely be enraged and go into a frenzy...
And the enraged Hong Jiaojiao... no one wanted to face her.
boom!
Just as Hong Rui was racking his brains to organize his thoughts, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the tall building.
A long, black streak of light tore through the sky, hurtling towards them from the distant horizon.
The black light stirred up gusts of wind, causing the air currents to surge and create a tremendous echo in the air.
To the average person, the sound of the wind would just be considered quite loud and noisy.
However, for a martial artist like Hong Jiaojiao who has entered the Grandmaster realm, with her extraordinary keen eyesight, hearing, and other senses, she is even more powerful.
The relentless gale was like a ghostly howl, shaking the mind and piercing the ears.
"Meat Dragon... Hong Jiaojiao?"
The man's calm voice drifted over from a great distance, passing through the pavilion.
Along with the sound came a blast of air.
Its magnificent momentum, as vast and mighty as the ocean, is surging forth continuously.
"You are..." Hong Jiaojiao hadn't finished speaking.
A black figure rushed into the pavilion, and a sudden gust of wind arose, causing sand and stones to fly and creating chaos inside the room.
The immense momentum, like a surging wave, accumulated to its limit and then suddenly exploded the moment the figure stopped.
The air seemed to freeze instantly, and an overwhelming pressure emanated from the figure in mid-air, relentlessly pressing down on the people in the room.
After receiving news of the destruction of Wanhua Palace, Hong Jiaojiao immediately convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Those sitting in the hall were all high-ranking members of the Three Mountains Sect, truly powerful figures.
but.
These are powerful figures who appear aloof and unfathomable to ordinary people or even ordinary disciples.
Each of them was pale and struggling to breathe.
Even something as simple as opening your mouth slightly to let in more air—such a simple movement—required considerable effort due to the figure's suppression. "Get out of here!!!"
Hong Jiaojiao was the kind of person who was easily angered and irritable.
The meeting was proceeding smoothly until an outsider disregarded the reputation of the Three Mountains Sect, barged in, and provoked them, leaving the Three Mountains Sect's high-ranking members in such a sorry state.
Unable to contain his rage any longer, he roared and suddenly raised his giant horse-slaying sword.
Layers of golden protective energy emerged from her massive body, resisting the invisible pressure falling from the sky.
As the leader of the Three Mountains Sect, he is one of the strongest figures in Yunzhou.
Hong Jiaojiao's abilities are beyond doubt.
Boom.
As the broadsword slashed down, a cracking sound was heard, and a flash of silver lightning illuminated everyone's pale faces.
The giant horse-slaying sword, with a blade over two meters long, resembled a full moon, emanating an arc-shaped aura that rippled through the air as it slashed towards the figure in mid-air.
To Hong Jiaojiao's horror, the ultimate killing technique she had mastered for most of her life, coupled with her specially crafted battle sword that was practically a divine weapon, was easily blocked by her opponent.
"Too weak..." Han Yi shook his head, then extended two fingers and lightly flicked the blade.
With a seemingly casual flick of the finger, a ripple-like vibration suddenly appeared around the finger due to the immense force. The power accumulated, spreading from the point to the surface, and was transmitted from the blade to Hong Jiaojiao's hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt.
A tremendous force, as fierce as a tidal wave, surged forth, and Hong Jiaojiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body trembled, her arms went numb, her hands involuntarily clenched, and she staggered back several steps.
Bang!
The broadsword slammed into the ground, causing the hall floor tiles to tremble slightly and produce a muffled thud.
"presumptuous!!!"
One problem after another arose. Hong Rui, however, spotted an opening at this moment and made a ruthless move.
To the average person, he appeared almost instantly beside Han Yi, his longsword flashing as he thrust it fiercely towards Han Yi's vital points.
This sword strike was as fast as lightning, its energy surging, and it swept forward with considerable force, showcasing the formidable strength of Hong Rui, the Dawn Swordsman.
Hong Rui was originally Hong Jiaojiao's chosen successor for the next generation of the Three Mountains Sect. He possessed top-notch skills and had incredibly rich combat experience.
He is a new generation leader of the Three Mountains Sect who has experienced countless trials and tribulations.
At this moment, the attack from behind was swift as lightning, completely catching everyone off guard.
A faint, eerie sword light flashed, its chilling gleam piercing the air. Even from a foot away, the menacing sword energy had already ripped Han Yi's clothes to shreds. Yet, Han Yi remained completely oblivious, his expression unchanged.
"So... sometimes it's not that I enjoy killing... but that some people... always seem to be drawn to the flame like moths to a flame..."
He remained calm as he looked at everyone present.
Even though Han Yi didn't make any move and was just watching, a sense of dread involuntarily rose in everyone's hearts.
It's like a hunter spotting his prey, thinking it's a sure thing, only to discover he's awakened a terrifying beast.
Chi!
A small black snake suddenly flew out, its angle, speed, and timing perfect.
the strange thing is.
The little snake was clearly blocking Hong Rui's path; he could have easily dodged it by simply lowering his head. Yet, he ignored it completely, as if there was nothing in front of him, and drove straight into it. The whole process was smooth and seamless, as natural as eating, sleeping, and drinking.
puff…...
A bloody hole suddenly appeared between Hong Rui's eyebrows, and his long sword slammed to the ground with a clang. His wide-open eyes were filled with astonishment.
Only then did he realize that something seemed amiss.
He didn't know what happened.
I don't know why I was discovered, why I was caught off guard, or why I bumped into them.
Just a split second ago, he was so close to succeeding.
What I see before me is clearly the hope of success, how could this be...?
Doubt, confusion, bewilderment... a myriad of emotions filled Hong Rui's eyes. He stared at the sky with resentment, his eyes wide open in death.
