Chapter 764: Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Destroying the Yin Soldiers
“Is that all you got? How terribly disappointing!”
Mistress Yu Hua shook her head with disdain before curling her lips at Murong Xianxian. “It’s your turn now, sister.”
As she said this, the ghost gods waved their banners, and the rest of the yin soldiers inside the yellow river charged toward her like an avalanche.
“You’re disappointed? You know not the world beyond your well, frog.”
While looking at the yin soldiers and ghost gods charging toward her, Murong Xianxian summoned a single bead of water and flicked it away.
The water bead slowly spread wider and wider until suddenly, it transformed into a raging flood. Caught completely off guard, the swarm of yin soldiers were instantly overwhelmed and scattered by it.
This was just the beginning though. A forest appeared at the east, a stele emerged from the west, and a volcano rose from the south.
A hundred different flowers bloomed inside the magnificent forest, ten thousand swords erected from the tall stele, and lava poured from the violent volcano.
Together with the northern flood, they surrounded the yin soldiers from all sides and pinned them inside their yellow river like some sort of seal. The next moment, the plants shot themselves forward like spears, the stele fired their ten thousand swords, the flood continued to fling the yin soldiers about like helpless children, and the lava consumed it all.
All one hundred thousand yin soldiers and ghost gods were dead just like that.
Having lost its army, the yellow river disappeared to reveal ten banners. It was none other than the infamous King Yan Slayer.
Normally, the banners would be glowing with power and spirituality, but as it was, it was perfectly dim and mundane.
Mistress Yu Hua was unharmed, but her eyes were widened like saucers, and her smile had completely frozen on her face. She could not believe what was happening.
This was a hundred thousand yin soldiers and ghost gods, not a hundred thousand ants. Hells, even a hundred thousand ants would’ve cost some time to annihilate. However, her army was gone in just the blink of an eye.
Just how was this possible?
Mistress Yu Hua wasn’t the only one who was stunned. Sun Sovereign, Madman Chu and the others were flabbergasted. Ye Qing was wide-eyed with shock as well.
When Murong Xianxian had revealed herself, he had wondered how she could possibly turn the tables against Mistress Yu Hua. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Murong Xianxian would annihilate the army of one hundred thousand strong in one go. It came as such a shock that it was less pleasant surprise and more stupefied disbelief.
It looked like their cry for mercy worked, because the red light surrounding the peachwood nail dimmed, and Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows’ screams grew fainter.
“Thank you, miss!”
Sun Sovereign let out a clear sigh of relief. The fact that Murong Xianxian did not kill Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows meant that there was still room for negotiation.
“I did not kill him not because I’m afraid of the consequences of his death, but because I do not wish to stain my hand with his filthy life.”
Murong Xianxian’s voice was cold and devoid of emotion as she stared at Sun Sovereign. “That Sex Spirit might be afraid of the factions you represent, but I’m not. After all, I’m alone without anyone or anything to tie me down. So what if I killed all of you? You don’t even know who I am, do you?”
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat. No one could say anything.
It was the truth. If she was a strong warrior with a powerful faction behind her back, then they would not have feared her. After all, as a representative of her faction, she couldn’t act without taking her faction’s interest into consideration. That would’ve given them a lot of leeway that they could exploit.
However, this did not apply to powerful warriors with no one and nothing to call to their name. People like that weren’t bogged down by anything, and because they weren’t bogged down by anything, they could and would do whatever the hell they wanted.
It was one thing if you could kill such people and end the threat they represented, but if you failed, then they would be a thorn in your side forever and ever, and generally speaking, the only way the situation could be resolved was if one side perished. That was why you never wanted to provoke or annoy this type of person, ever!
Worse still, it was exactly as the woman said. They had no idea who she was, which meant that she had the option to go into hiding after killing them. With her strength, it was unlikely anyone could suss her out of her hiding spot, not to mention that the world was a wide, wide place. How could their faction take revenge for them if they couldn’t even find their killer?
They would’ve died for nothing.
That was why no one said anything. There was simply nothing to say.
“My question remains the same. Do you wish to live or die?” Murong Xianxian repeated after receiving no answer.
“Of course I wish to live! I’m not done living yet!”
This time, it was Madman Chu who spoke up. His face was fearless as he stared at Murong Xianxian with a challenging look. “But if I die, then so be it! Such is my way of living!”
Unlike Sun Sovereign or Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows, whose courage only seemed to dwindle with age, Madman Chu was a lot more accepting of death. If he could live, then of course he wanted to live. But if that option did not exist, then so be it. Nothing and no one could scare him.
