Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 525: Chapter 522: Giving You One Chance!

As for the Seventh Army and Eighth Army behind the Starry Divine Guard, they were now roaring furiously, rushing toward the 45,000 pinnacle disciples whose Dragon Power had been drained and who were attempting to recover!

The leading ones among these pinnacle disciples changed color dramatically!

They took out their pills, but before they could swallow them, they were overrun by the charging Phoenix Sect Disciples.

The Phoenix Sect Disciples had long since noticed their moment of weakness, seizing this opportunity!

In almost the blink of an eye, two thousand pinnacle disciples were brutally slain.

Before their death, their eyes bulged, their faces filled with reluctance.

They died with their eyes wide open!

Because they had not truly engaged with the Phoenix Sect Disciples, had not displayed their peak combat power, before they were massacred.

And their deaths contributed to the plight of the remaining Ruyi Sect pinnacle disciples.

The remaining 43,000, after Phoenix Sect launched an assault on over a thousand more, finally had time to swallow their pills, and amidst roars and resentment, clashed with the Seventh and Eighth Armies of the Phoenix Sect.

...

Inside the palace, Gu Qingtian’s eyes were turning red as he watched this scene.

And at this moment, it was Su Han’s voice that reached his ears.

He had been able to restrain himself up until now, but Su Han’s words pushed his endurance to the limit.

His entire being shuddered with energy as his cultivation base at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm erupted at that moment.

It was an extremely eerie aura, yet one that made hearts tremble with fear.

In comparison, the white-haired elder behind him, also at the peak of the Dragon God Realm, was not on the same level!

”Su! Sixth! Rate!!!” Gu Qingtian spoke, almost biting off each word.

But at that moment, Elder Dixue of the Golden Mountain Pavilion, who still wore a calm expression while observing the light barrier, casually waved his hand and said, ”Sect Master Gu, why be so angry? These disciples are but ants, after all. In the end, in war, they can only play the role of cannon fodder.”

”What do you know!” Gu Qingtian suddenly turned toward Dixue, saying with a chilling tone: ”They are all disciples of my Ruyi Sect, they are the lifeblood of my Ruyi Sect! My Ruyi Sect has reached this day because of their contributions and efforts, inseparable from our journey; how can I just watch as they are killed, watch as they die!!!”

Dixue frowned slightly, ”Their deaths will pave the way for a stronger Ruyi Sect. After this battle, the Demon Army will join the Ruyi Sect and, once they join, it will amount to a million. Put aside the quality for now; the sheer number alone will overwhelm your disciples by double their current amount!”

”The Demon Lord has ordered that Sixth-Rate Sects can only be allocated up to a million of the Demon Army, even in conjunction with the Sect’s own disciples.”

”The other Sixth-Rate Sects have only been allocated four to five hundred thousand, at most six to seven hundred thousand. I secured a full million for you. If these disciples didn’t die and there were still five hundred thousand of them, then the Demon Army could only allocate five hundred thousand here. Which do you think is more beneficial?”

”But how can I just watch them die!!!” Gu Qingtian’s heart swelled with immeasurable resentment.

He wanted the fearless Demon Army, but he also did not wish for these Ruyi Sect Disciples, who had earned their stripes with hard-fought contributions, to die.

”Father.”

At that moment, Gu Yunlei stepped forward, even changing his form of address, no longer calling him ’Old Man Gu’ but ’Father.’

Hearing these two words, Gu Qingtian’s body shuddered, and his frenzied emotions became somewhat stable. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

”Father, in fact, Elder Dixue’s words are not wrong. The death of these disciples will pave a better future for Ruyi Sect. With the addition of the Heavenly Demon Army, we should immediately head to Wang’an Mansion and utterly annihilate Phoenix Sect. Would that not be better?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Qingtian’s just-calm emotions erupted again.

He suddenly turned around, extended his palm, and mercilessly slapped Gu Yunlei across the face.

Gu Yunlei was sent flying backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and Han Mei, who was in his arms, was also toppled to the ground by the force.

”You hit me?!” Gu Yunlei lifted his head, fury blazing in his eyes.

”If you were not my son, I would kill you today without hesitation!”

Gu Qingtian pointed at the Light Barrier, grinding his teeth as he spoke: ”Look, just look at those disciples, how many of them watched you grow up from a child, how many of them have wiped your bottom when you caused trouble! Have you ever had a shred of gratitude in your heart, or in your eyes, are they just a bunch of walking corpses for you to command?!”

Hearing these words, looking at this scene, both the white-haired and grey-clothed elders sighed quietly to themselves.

”All of this, isn’t it because of you, this bastard!”

Gu Qingtian shouted angrily: ”You know nothing but eating, drinking, and merrymaking all day, never caring about cultivation. Even your current cultivation base was forcefully raised by me! Bullying men and women, acting arrogantly, all of the bad things have been done by you! Now, retribution has arrived, and my Ruyi Sect has finally been brought to disaster by you!”

”Why are you blaming me?”

Gu Yunlei stood up, retorted loudly: ”Before this, did you not likewise disregard Phoenix Sect? Did you not also think that you could easily obliterate Phoenix Sect? Now that you see the strength of Phoenix Sect, you blame everything on me? Look at yourself, where do you resemble a Sect Master? You are clearly a madman!”

”Bastard, I’ll kill you!”

Gu Qingtian’s anger boiled over, his aura exploded, and he was about to make a move.

But the white-haired elder quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying: ”Sect Master, please calm your anger. The Young Sect Master is young and ignorant, and will surely come to understand in time.”

”The Young Sect Master is your only son. Sect Master, you cannot extinguish the lineage of Ruyi Sect!” the grey-clothed elder also spoke up.

They knew that Gu Qingtian, how could he truly wish to kill Gu Yunlei? At this moment, what was needed was merely an excuse to step down, and this excuse was provided by the two of them speaking out.

”Issue my command, all elders in the Ruyi Sect, take action!”

Gu Qingtian took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart, and then said: ”And you two as well, join the fight. As for anyone from Phoenix Sect, I do not wish to see a single complete corpse!!!”

”Yes.”

The white-haired elder and the grey-clothed elder immediately nodded and stepped back.

Meanwhile, Gu Yunlei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Gu Qingtian with a venomous gaze.

”Rebel, oh rebel!!!” Gu Qingtian roared inwardly.

It was at this moment that Su Han’s calm voice came through again.

”Gu Qingtian, I’m giving you a chance.”

”Open your Clan Guardian Light Curtain now, and I’ll assume you’ve surrendered. The old, young, and women of your sect, I can spare their lives, allowing a few embers of your Ruyi Sect’s legacy to remain.”

”But if you don’t open it...”

”After I break through this Clan Guardian Light Curtain, I will show no mercy!”
