Calculated by the Entire Sect? Don't Cry When Your Whole Family is Slaughtered! - Chapter 9

Inside the Enforcement Hall, sword qi and palm forces intertwined, unleashing the most intense collisions.

Shen Lian, who was only at Divine Transformation Eighth Layer, single-handedly faced two Void Refinement experts, enduring hundreds of moves without falling into a disadvantage.

Bang—

After a clash and a surging wave of energy, the three separated by several steps, entering a stalemate.

“Hmm, Shen Lian is clearly only at Divine Transformation Eighth Layer, so why can he withstand hundreds of moves against my Void Refinement realm without defeat?”

“What method is that kid using to possess such pressure? We can’t easily take him down.”

Yuwen Tianzhao and Dongfang Lie were deeply perplexed by Shen Lian’s current transformation.

“Why aren’t you attacking? Have you recognized your own incompetence, or have you exhausted your tricks?”

Shen Lian’s mocking voice resounded again, as he gently fanned his folding fan, looking completely unconcerned.

Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao exchanged glances, quickly formulating their next strategy.

“He must have secrets we don’t know about.”

“We’ll take him down directly, force the truth out of him, and then execute him.”

“Agreed.”

With their minds set, Dongfang Lie stepped forward first, forming hand seals.

Immediately, a brilliant light surged, and a ten-foot-tall divine phantom slowly appeared behind him.

Yuwen Tianzhao, meanwhile, held his long sword behind his back, quietly retreating a few steps.

“Hmm? Fiery Divine King Energy?”

Shen Lian recognized the technique Dongfang Lie was employing at a glance. He immediately gathered his Qi, preparing to face the coming challenge.

“Shen Lian, a sect scoundrel like you should have died long ago.

If you had listened to your seven senior sisters and meekly surrendered to pave the way for Fan’er with your death,

perhaps you wouldn’t be facing this outcome today. Now, I will use this surging divine fire to completely reduce you to ashes.”

“Just you? You waste, where do you get such confidence? What a joke!”

Shen Lian made a decisive move, converting all his cultivation into extreme cold energy.

“How dare a mere firefly contend with a giant wave? Let me show you what true peak is.”

In an instant, cold air condensed, and a surging wave-like phantom appeared around Shen Lian.

“What cultivation technique is this? Why have I never seen it before?”

Seeing this, Dongfang Lie was greatly shocked.

“Watch how I extinguish your laughable firefly completely!”

With a furious roar, Shen Lian leaped into the void, unleashing a mighty palm strike.

“Eternal Wave Pursuing, Soul Cleansing Strike!”

The force of the palm strike was like a vast, endless river, surging straight towards Dongfang Lie.

Dongfang Lie, who had just activated his technique to eighty percent, was greatly alarmed. Without time to think, he fiercely met the attack with his palm.

Boom—

The moment water and fire intertwined, the Enforcement Hall instantly turned into rubble.

“Ugh—”

After the ultimate clash, Dongfang Lie grunted, a crimson bloodstain appearing at the corner of his mouth. His entire body was sent flying several tens of feet away.

Shen Lian, in contrast, only took a few steps back, steadily stabilizing his posture.

“You…”

“Is this your so-called proud divine fire? It’s truly dim and vulnerable. Hahahaha—”

Shen Lian’s laughter shook the hall, making Dongfang Lie’s cheeks twitch uncontrollably.

“Eight Gates Golden Lock Sword – Entrap.”

Just then, behind Shen Lian, densely packed chains formed from sword qi came surging towards him.

“Hmm?”

Without time to think, Shen Lian leaped and rolled sideways, avoiding the incoming sword qi.

The moment he landed, sword chains rising from the ground had already bound his ankles.

The next moment, his arms were also entangled by the chains.

“Good opportunity!”

Dongfang Lie seized the moment, disregarding his injuries, and decisively sent a palm strike towards Shen Lian’s chest.

Bang—

“Ugh—”

A solid palm strike landed on Shen Lian’s chest.

Accompanied by a low groan, Shen Lian’s body was immediately sent flying backward.

“Don’t give him any time to react, take him down directly.”

“Alright!”

Having succeeded in one move, the two did not relax their vigilance, continuing to encircle and attack from left and right, intending to give Shen Lian no chance to breathe.

Shen Lian, having taken the blow, landed on his feet, quickly wiped the blood from his mouth, and with a flick of both hands, unleashed two palm strikes.

Due to his injuries, the power of his palm strikes was greatly reduced. Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao easily parried them, then continued to charge at Shen Lian.

Seeing the imminent danger, Shen Lian’s battle intent, instead, surged again as the risk level deepened.

“You think this is enough to kill me, Shen Lian? Not enough!”

Bang, bang—

Boom!

As Shen Lian’s voice rang out, the three figures finally clashed.

But the next moment.

“What? How is this possible!”

Shen Lian was seen striking with both hands, directly enduring both of their full-powered palm strikes.

What surprised them even more was that they felt Shen Lian’s aura suddenly surge dramatically, a sign of another breakthrough in his cultivation.

“The game should end now! Hmph~”

A deep roar directly forced the two back.

It was at this moment that Shen Lian’s cultivation reached the Ninth Layer of Divine Transformation.

“You can actually break through your own limits in battle?”

Yuwen Tianzhao asked in disbelief.

“Regretful? If you couldn’t kill me with one strike, then take that regret with you and die in the Yellow Springs!”

Amidst his roar, Shen Lian unleashed his true essence. Instantly, a vast wave of energy swept around him, further ravaging the already ruined Enforcement Hall, making it even more unrecognizable.

“Don’t hold back anymore! If this child is not eliminated today, our Heavenly Feather Sect will surely face endless troubles in the future.”

“Then let’s eradicate him!”

Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao knew that they absolutely could not hold back anymore. Regardless of whether Shen Lian had any secrets, they could not let him leave the Heavenly Feather Sect alive.

The two used all their spiritual energy, quickly condensing it to a single point, intending to quickly kill Shen Lian with one strike.

However, Shen Lian showed no fear, knowing that the next move would decide life or death. He decisively reined in his Qi, preparing to meet this final blow.

“Eight Gates Golden Lock – Break!”

“Silver Serpent Devouring Flame Palm!”

One sword, one palm. The Heavenly Feather Sect’s strongest sword and palm techniques struck simultaneously, instantly forming a destructive wave of energy that surged towards Shen Lian’s entire body with lightning speed.

“Good move!”

Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Shen Lian wanted.

As his hands flipped, three thousand ripples of water essence appeared around him.

The water essence transformed into converging spiritual energy, forming an endlessly regenerating Yin-Yang Tai Chi totem in front of Shen Lian.

Just as the two ultimate moves closed in.

“Void Repository – Absorb!”

The next moment, the two massive waves of energy, capable of destroying half a sect, were completely absorbed by the rotating Tai Chi totem as they approached.

“What!”

Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao did not expect this sudden turn of events. They cried out in unison, and their counter-attacks were instantly unleashed.

“Raging Sea Returning Current!”

Boom, boom—

The Void Repository absorbed external forces and intensified them during its operation. Then, it condensed into two streams of Yin-Yang chaotic energy, reflecting back to the attackers with triple the power.

Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao had no idea Shen Lian had such a hidden move. They were instantly pierced by the Yin-Yang energies, exploding and dying on the spot.

They didn’t even have time to utter a single groan before they died.

“Ugh, puff—”

Killing two Void Refinement realm cultivators in one go, however, exceeded the limits of Shen Lian’s own foundation. He immediately spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

“Hmph, so this is the strength of the Heavenly Feather Peak Masters? Truly the weakest Void Refinement realm cultivators I’ve ever encountered!”

After ending the battle, Shen Lian quickly adjusted his breathing, unfolded his folding fan again, and walked past the unconscious Ye Fan, intending to directly finish him off.

But just as he was about to make his move, a scene of his former self being framed by Ye Fan suddenly flashed in his mind.

The next moment, Shen Lian changed his mind, and a cruel arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Letting you die like this seems too easy for you. I’ve thought of a very fun game I want to test on you!”

With that, Shen Lian pointed a finger, directly piercing his Elixir Sea…

“Ah…”

His cultivation completely crippled, his Elixir Sea shattered, the extreme pain forcibly woke the unconscious Ye Fan.

Realizing that his decades of cultivation were instantly ruined, he looked at Shen Lian with extreme resentment: “Shen Lian, I will definitely not let you off…”

“I hope you, this ant, remember this emotion at this very moment, because from now on, your fate will be completely changed by me.

I thoroughly enjoy watching your powerless, enraged clown-like appearance, because playing with ants like you is an essential joy in life, hahahaha…”

With that, Shen Lian’s hand directly pressed on his forehead, and he suddenly pulled back.

“Ah~ what are you doing!”

“To let you experience what it’s like to be a dog.”

Amidst Ye Fan’s agonizing wails, seven portions of his soul were forcibly stripped out by Shen Lian.

The next second, Ye Fan only felt his vision go dark, and then he knew nothing more.

Shen Lian looked at Ye Fan’s soul in his palm, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

“My cultivation is too low. The Extreme Dao Soul Extraction Hand cannot extract all of his soul, but this one soul fragment is enough.”

He walked out of the Enforcement Hall, and with a flick of the soul in his palm, it instantly entered the body of an ordinary black dog.

“Woof~”

The black dog’s soul was forced to merge with another, immediately letting out a painful whimper.

“From now on, you are a crippled dog. Hahahaha.”

“Woof, woof, woof—”

Listening to the black dog’s mournful barks, Shen Lian gently fanned himself, walking slowly away from the Heavenly Feather Sect with a loud laugh. Along the way, no one dared to stop him.

“Quick, quickly report to the Ancestor! Something big has happened!”

Several disciples, seeing the blood-soaked ruins of the Enforcement Hall, immediately ran towards the forbidden area of the back mountain, the Ancestor’s cultivation retreat.
