Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 524: Chapter 521: Gu Qingtian’s Fury

As the first to eighth armies of the Phoenix Sect, along with the leadership of the Four Great Divine Guard Regiments, waged war on the entire Ruyi Sect, Su Han and others were similarly standing in the void.

Behind him stood the ninth and tenth armies, as well as thirty members of the Holy Cold Divine Guard!

Each member of the Holy Cold Divine Guard possessed a special physique, their expressions solemn as they stood in different zones, though not far from Su Han.

Only they knew that their positions formed a formation!

In their hearts, there was a profound killing intent towards the Ruyi Sect, but their primary objective was still to first protect Su Han.

Regardless of whether Su Han needed their protection, they must provide it, and it was not Su Han who had ordered this but Xiao Yuran.

Similarly, the other Four Great Divine Guard Regiments also had such an order, if someone approached the Sect Master, their primary purpose was to protect the Sect Master!

Behind the Holy Cold Divine Guard, the ninth and tenth armies, two thousand Phoenix Sect Disciples stood upright with an awe-inspiring aura, like two thousand gods of killing, only waiting for the Clan Guardian Light Curtain to be breached so they could sweep everything away with their most powerful measures!

”Gu Qingtian, if you don’t come out now, all your Ruyi Sect disciples will die.”

Su Han stood outside the Clan Guardian Light Curtain, speaking indifferently.

Before attacking the Ruyi Sect, he had naturally conducted investigations and knew that the Sect Master of the Ruyi Sect, who was also the Family Head of the Gu Family, was named Gu Qingtian.

Gu Qingtian inside the palace, had naturally heard Su Han’s words.

He looked at the light barrier, his expression gloomy, his face so ugly it was as if it could drip water.

The disciples of the Ruyi Sect were almost being slaughtered by the Phoenix Sect, and he saw it clearly, his heart bleeding!

The many disciples were the foundation of his Ruyi Sect; it hadn’t been easy for the Ruyi Sect to reach this point. Although most of this was his, Gu Qingtian’s, achievement, the contribution of these five hundred thousand disciples could not be erased!

At this moment, watching as the disciples of the Ruyi Sect were being killed in large numbers, Gu Qingtian’s heart was already filled with raging killing intent.

As he was filled with killing intent, Gu Qingtian was also deeply shocked by the strength of the Phoenix Sect.

He finally understood that he had vastly underestimated the Phoenix Sect before.

He had originally thought that the Phoenix Sect, being so arrogant, dared to come with only ten thousand disciples and that they would surely be destroyed here today.

In his heart, and in everyone’s hearts, the Phoenix Sect’s disciples were few because the Phoenix Sect was merely an Eighth-Rank Sect!

Although they had just wiped out the Qilin Daoist Temple, it was also just recent and gathering disciples in such a short time was impossible.

And those Loose Cultivators or newly emerged Heavenly Talents, when choosing a sect, naturally would first choose a higher-level sect, because only such sects could fully cultivate them without letting their talents go waste, only such sects could enable them to awe others as they traveled across the Dragon Martial Continent!

Therefore, both Gu Qingtian and everyone in the Ruyi Sect felt that the Phoenix Sect came with fewer people today because they had few people.

Merely ten thousand people, Gu Qingtian believed, dispatching ten thousand people each from the Outer Sect Disciples to the Inner Sect Disciples, totaling thirty thousand people, would be enough to keep the Phoenix Sect confined here.

But at this moment...

He fully knew that he was wrong, terribly wrong!

The Phoenix Sect was not comprised of few disciples because their sect status was low.

That was because the Phoenix Sect valued the quality of disciples over quantity.

The strength of soldiers lies in quality, not quantity.

He finally understood how ludicrous his idea had been. Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, Pinnacle Disciples—if each group had sent out ten thousand, a total of thirty thousand, they would probably still not be enough to fill the gaps between the Phoenix Sect’s teeth!

Because up to now, ten minutes had passed, and about fifteen thousand disciples from the Ruyi Sect had already died.

This was an astonishing number; an Eighth-Rate Sect might have about that many disciples in total, and even if there were more, it would only be by a few thousand.

The number of disciples who had died in the Ruyi Sect was equivalent to the eradication of an Eighth-Rate Sect, and the number was still increasing.

All over the Ruyi Sect, cries of agony echoed from the Outer Sect Disciples, a complete slaughter.

The situation was hardly better for the Inner Sect Disciples. Their cultivation bases, being inherently inferior to those of the Phoenix Sect Disciples, who were additionally bolstered by more than one layer of Earth Guardian, made it nearly impossible for the Ruyi Sect Inner Sect Disciples to even break through this Earth Guardian, let alone kill any Phoenix Sect members.

It was a massacre just the same!

The only slightly better situation was among the Pinnacle Disciples.

The cultivation of these Pinnacle Disciples placed them at the peak among their peers within the Ruyi Sect, and even the Phoenix Sect’s Seventh and Eighth Armed Forces only matched them in terms of cultivation realms.

But...

Although their cultivation realms were comparable, in terms of strength, the Phoenix Sect was utterly overwhelming within the same level!

Because in the Phoenix Sect, even the most common disciple, even those with the lowest cultivation base, had opened at least twenty Dragon Veins!

On the Ruyi Sect side, they only practiced ordinary cultivation techniques, with five Dragon Veins being common, six passable, seven considered genius, eight outstanding, nine top-tier, and ten... those were true freaks!

And the Ruyi Sect did not possess a single individual with ten Dragon Veins. After all, that was a freak aptitude that even Super Sects cared deeply about. Who possessing ten Dragon Veins would join a Sixth-Rate Sect like the Ruyi Sect?

This was in stark contrast to the Phoenix Sect, where those with ten Dragon Veins were at the very bottom, utterly insignificant!

Each person possessed at least over twenty Dragon Veins, fundamentally overpowering the Ruyi Sect disciples. At the same level, in terms of actual strength, the Phoenix Sect disciples, armed with many secret techniques and such heaven-defying cultivation methods, could not only compare to the Ruyi Sect but could even oppress other cultivators across the Dragon Martial Continent!

The Starry Divine Guards, in groups of ten, totaled one hundred. Ten of them rushed towards the Ruyi Seal, all erupting with Golden Core Stage cultivation.

The Golden Core Stage was comparable to the Dragon God Realm, where ten individuals from early to mid-stage battled against the Ruyi Seal.

However, it must be said that the Ruyi Seal was indeed very strong. Even the ten Starry Divine Guards were in a suppressed state, and a few of them were even injured.

But these injuries were not enough to lead them to death.

The other ninety Starry Divine Guards dispersed, each targeting one of the nine young people.

Ten Dragon God Realms attacking one Dragon God Realm, even if among these nine young people, four had reached the Peak of the Dragon God Realm, that still wasn’t true Peak of the Dragon God Realm.

They used their attacks, which were vastly weaker than the true Peak of the Dragon God Realm, yet the energy consumption was equivalent to the true Dragon God Realm.

In such a battle, it wouldn’t take long before they were overwhelmed by excessive consumption.
