Chapter 140: Chapter 140: All because of you

Within seconds, the black powder disappeared inside the wine, not even changing the wine's color in the slightest. It dissolved instantly, leaving no trace of its presence.

Ye Liang smirked, his eyes glinting with malice. He resealed the wine bottle. However, just as he was about to leave, he stopped.

"Hahaha!"

He started laughing randomly, unable to control himself. He kept laughing like a maniac. Fortunately, no one was here to listen to him.

He kept laughing until tears came from his eyes. Only after a long time, he stopped laughing.

"This damn penalty!" He cursed under his breath while wiping his years.

Only after making sure that nothing looked out of place, he made his way back to Eren.

Meanwhile, the battle raged on below. The nine disciples had realized that Eren was actually supporting them from the ship.

All they had to do was fight their way in the sect. Everything else was going to be handled by the Battleship.

As they killed more people, they also became much more accustomed to it. They fought with a ferocity that even surprised themselves.

Their confidence grew with each fallen enemy while the Asura Sect's defenses crumbled.

Eren, still seated comfortably, watched the chaos unfold with a satisfied smile.

"This is quite the show," he remarked, swirling the wine in his glass.

Ye Liang approached, the wine bottle in hand. He stood silently next to Eren, simply waiting for him to ask for another refill. He didn't want to make Eren suspicious by being impatient and asking him first.

Eren took the last sip, completely emptying the glass.

"Ah, perfect timing," he said as he reached out his glass towards Ye Liang.

Ye Liang opened the wine bottle in front of Eren and poured it in the crystal glass.

While Eren brought the glass closer to his lips, Ye Liang watched him silently. All he needed was for Eren to have one sip.

Even if the poison failed to kill him, it could still weaken him and make it impossible for him to use his Qi.

Eren also matched the physical description of Elder Ren that he had heard from the survivors.

Everything that happened to them was because of this one Elder! He killed their Sect Master, and now he came to annihilate them as well?

"Even if I am to die today, I will take you with me!"

Great Elder Lian flew towards Eren. On the other hand, Eren didn't even spare a second glance in his direction.

As Great Elder Lian reached near him, an energy wave came from the Battleship. Great Elder Lian reacted fast and jumped back, but at the same time, another energy wave came for him.

It was as if someone was really upset with him and wanted to kill him at any cost.

"I told the kids that I am not here to fight. So keep me out of it." Eren waved his hands at Great Elder Lian. "But if you can survive until I return, I might as well play a little with you."

"You!"

Great Elder Lian kept dodging the energy waves, but with each passing second, his reaction speed was getting slower. He was barely avoiding the attacks until he failed, and his right arm disappeared.

"Arghhh!" He roared in pain, but right then another energy wave came from the Battleship, swallowing him whole.

The blinding light from the energy wave consumed Great Elder Lian, and his agonized roar was abruptly silenced.

Eren watched calmly as the remnants of the wave dissipated, leaving nothing but a burnt silhouette where the great elder once stood.

"The girl really knows how to play with her toy." Eren looked towards the Battleship.

For the most part, this battle was over. All the Great Elders were dead. Even most of the Elders were annihilated.

Meanwhile, the nine outer disciples were killing the rest. It was only a matter of time before everything was over.

....

One of the nine outer disciples came across a young woman. The woman was not wearing the attire of the Asura Sect, but he didn't take it into consideration.

For her to be inside the Asura Sect, she could only be a member.

"Did you think that not wearing the Sect's clothes can help you escape?" The young man grabbed his sword firmly and ran towards the young woman.
