CH 70

…

Within the secret chambers of the four great clans.

The sages, whose lifespans were about to end, slowly opened their eyes.

Staring at the Sword of Damocles hovering in the air above the heads of each of the clan’s disciples, they couldn’t help but shake their heads helplessly.

Most likely, within the empire, the four great clans had already completely lost their former glory and prestige.

The empire that followed would no longer belong to the four great clans.

They didn’t dare to bargain with Lin Lei

They knew that if Lin Lei didn’t kill them now, it would already be the best possible outcome.

And then, in the skies above the four great clans…

A series of explosions rang out.

The defensive formations of the four great clans had all been forcibly dispersed.

In mid-air, Lin Lei nodded.

The Sword of Damocles hovering above the four great clans contained Lin Lei’s powerful sword intent.

As long as the four great clans followed Lin Lei’s instructions and remained in seclusion for five thousand years, after five thousand years, the Sword of Damocles hovering above their heads would completely disappear.

But if the four great clans dared to disobey Lin Lei’s orders, the hovering swords would instantly end their lives.

Lin Lei didn’t think that the members of the four great clans would be able to destroy those four sword intents.

That was Lin Lei’s most powerful attack. To completely destroy those four sword intents, one would need to be at least at the level of a Grand Sage.

Seeing that his goal had been accomplished, Lin Lei’s body flashed, and he directly appeared in the air above the Li Fire sect.

Right now, countless loose cultivators were staring at Lin Lei in the skies, their expressions extremely complicated.

After all, the elite disciples of the four great clans had all been brought by the four dukes to deal with the Li Fire sect.

As for the remaining members of the four great clans, they were nothing more than smelly fish, rotten prawns, and ordinary people who didn’t have any talent for training.

The four great clans, in name only, were dead!

At this moment, they all felt as though they were in a dream.

Perhaps it was because the ordinary people of the four great clans hadn’t offended Lin Lei, which was why Lin Lei had spared their lives.

And right now, amongst the countless people…

Two figures were fleeing at high speed into the distance.

The two were clearly Duke Haitang and Jerry.

“Lord Duke, it’s a good thing we ran so quickly…”

“The Master of the Ultimate Sword seems to have forgotten about us. He didn’t mention us at all when he was settling the score just now.”

Duke Waiting and Jerry flew away crazily in the sky.

Hearing Jerry’s words, Duke Waiting couldn’t help but frown.

“Do you still want to live?”

“If you don’t want to live, I still want to continue living. Hurry up and shut up.”

At this moment, a voice directly sounded from the sky.

“Haitang, do you really think you can leave?”

At this moment, Duke Haitang’s entire body stiffened.

The next moment, Duke Haitang’s face was bitter as he brought Jerry to the front of the Li Fire sect.

He knew that he absolutely could not escape.

If he immediately apologized now, he might even be able to keep his life.

“Lord Master of the Ultimate Sword, I suddenly remembered something.”

“I’ll be leaving now. Farewell.”

After speaking, Duke Haitang wanted to leave.

Just as Duke Haitang was about to turn and leave, Lin Lei said calmly.

“Wait.”

“If you hadn’t left earlier, I really would have forgotten about the two of you.”

“In that case, let’s settle the score.”

“Although your Haitang family didn’t participate in this joint attack against the Li Fire Sect, you want to use me as a sacrifice for the four great families, right?”

“Elder Almos seems to want to threaten me even more.”

“You can escape death, but you can’t escape punishment.”

“The two of you can continue living as ordinary people.”

After saying this, a soul arrow directly pierced towards Duke Haitang’s magic circuit!

The light purple arrow continuously magnified in Duke Haitang’s eyes.

In the next moment, the soul arrow pierced through his voice.

It did not cause any harm to Duke Haitang, but there was a piercing sound.

This soul arrow had directly pierced through Duke Haitang’s magic circuit at this moment.

Following that, Duke Haitang felt that the vast and boundless sage magic power in his body leaked out continuously.

Tier Two Sage..

Tier One Sage..

Half-step Sage..

Great Mage..

Mage..

In less than a blink of an eye, Duke Haitang had already become a mage.

Feeling his own power, Duke Haitang’s face finally changed dramatically.

He wanted to fight back, but there was nothing he could do!

In the blink of an eye, Duke Haitang had transformed from an insufferably arrogant sage to an ordinary person who could be seen everywhere on the streets of the empire.

“Is there anything you aren’t happy about?”

Lin Lei asked calmly.

Duke Haitang’s face was ashen as he felt the mageforce circuit within his body disappear without a trace.

His originally shiny black hair had now turned gray.

“Not at all…”

Duke Haitang no longer had the slightest hint of arrogance or pride.

Everyone, seeing how Lin Lei was able to strip Duke Haitang of his magic circuit, couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

How terrifying!

As for the nearby Jerry, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

His eyes flashed with fear. At this moment, he truly was terrified.

This once domineering, arrogant eldest son of the Haitang clan had directly prostrated himself in front of Lin Lei.

He knelt down!

“Milord, I truly was wrong!”

“I’m willing to do anything!”

“I’m willing to be your slave. But please don’t take away my cultivation…”

“I’ll kneel before you. I beg of you!”

Linl Lei’s face was calm, and he didn’t budge at all.

Another soul arrow flew directly towards Jerry’s mageforce circuits.

In the next moment, Jerry’s peak-level power as a Grand Magus slipped away rapidly.

In the end, he ended up just like Duke Haitang, a completely ordinary person.

Jerry’s entire body was trembling, and his face was blank.

“You can leave now.”

Lin Lei said calmly.

“Yes, siir…”

Duke Haitang pulled Jerry up slowly, who was at a loss as to what to do. With his body bent, he slowly departed into the distance.

Countless people stared at their backs, shaking their heads helplessly.

This was a former sage.

But now, he had been reduced to an ordinary person.

Lin Lei placed his hands behind his back, slowly watching them leave.

A tit for a tat. This was justice.

After Lin Lei had done all this, the loose cultivators who had come to watch all dispersed.

As for the desolate sword saint, Bard, he left the Li Fire sect after chatting a while with Lin Lei.

The Li Fire sect, which had originally been filled with countless people, was now completely empty

Lin Lei’s figure appeared within the Li Fire sect.

Right now, countless disciples of the Li Fire sect were all staring at Lin Lei with incomparable admiration.

Natasha’s eyes were wide open. Even now, Natasha couldn’t accept this reality.

“Lin Lei…”

“You… are you really the Master of the Ultimate Sword…”

Linley hadn’t even replied when the nearby Roderick bark hurriedly.

“Natasha, how could you talk to the Master like this?”

Lin Lei couldn’t help but laugh.

“There’s no need for everyone to act like this. Just treat me like you did in the past.”

In the next moment, Lin Lei disappeared on the spot.
