Chapter 173: Mass Murder

Mo Xiu thought that the last person who entered the iron gate would be attacked by everyone below the altar, but he didn't expect these people to be so fearless. They still dared to come to ask for death even knowing that his True Energy might not be restricted.

Originally, he didn't want to kill people because once he made a move, the fact that his True Energy was not restricted would be exposed, the person hiding in a corner of this special space would know it instantly, and that would be very detrimental to his next actions.

But since these people took the initiative to seek death, he didn't mind making their dream perfect.

Fortunately, Ge Liuyun had already entered the iron gate, so he couldn't see the situation here. Some of his methods could be used without scruples. In this way, it would not necessarily require the use of True Energy.

Seeing the people from the major sects rushed forward in desperation, he thought, and eight Shadow Demon Guards emerged from the shadows behind him, shielding him in the middle.

Seeing the eight Shadow Demon Guards that suddenly appeared, the people of the major sects were stunned for a moment, not knowing what it was. But they had already realized that they had to stop Mo Xiu from entering the iron gate anyway. Therefore, after a brief stunned, they still rushed towards Mo Xiu.

"Kill!"

One by one, people rushed to the altar, attempting to break through the line of defense composed of eight Shadow Demon Guards, using their advantage of number to kill Mo Xiu.

But each of the eight Shadow Demon Guards had the strength equivalent to a peak-stage Abstruse Form Realm. Moreover, they all had horrifying powers themselves, they did not need to use True Energy and whatnot.

These Shadow Demon Guards didn't just know how to guard. Two Shadow Demon Guards raised their hands, their claws manifested out, and immediately killed the two Arcane Truth Sect disciples who rushed towards them.

Everyone was taken by surprise. They didn't expect the strength of these Shadow Demon Guards to be so abnormal. Not to mention that their True Energy was limited in the body and could not be displayed at all. Even if their True Energy could be displayed, they might not be the opponents of these Shadow Demon Guards.

"Keep on attacking, even if you die, you must prevent Wu Jue from entering the iron gate. Or else, not only will we die, everyone who participated in the trial on Spirit Island will be finished!"

A disciple of the Arcane Truth Sect said, continuing to rush towards Mo Xiu.

His enlightenment regarding the truth of the current situation was very high, but before he rushed to Mo Xiu, two Shadow Demon Guards exuding a chill together tore him in half.

There were not many disciples of the Arcane Truth Sect, and being killed by two Shadow Demon Guards like this, the effort was half gone in the blink of an eye.

However, the Jasper Blossom Sect disciples and Heaven Crafting Gate disciples who were behind quickly filled in, and a group of people attacked again.

Although their True Energy was not usable, it did not mean that the True Energy of these people disappeared, but it could only operate in the body and could not be displayed.

Moreover, people who could cultivate to the Essence Converging Realm or even the Abstruse Form Realm had innate strength that was not comparable to ordinary people, so they were not without any combat power.

In the blink of an eye, the silhouettes slammed into the Shadow Demon Guards, but the force of a countershock shook them upside down.

This didn't stop, and soon another disciple from Heaven Crafting Gate rushed over and hit a Shadow Demon Guard with a punch.

"Boom!"

After a shock from the impact, the Shadow Demon Guard was beaten back a small step.

Obviously, without using any True Energy, this person could still compete with the Shadow Demon Guard, which made Mo Xiu couldn't help but take another look.

He soon understood that this guy was not an ordinary warrior at all. His body was transformed into an artifact, just like a humanoid puppet, unable to cultivate, unable to obtain True Energy, but it had a strong power itself. So this fellow could compete with the Shadow Demon Guard.

"Die!"

The Heaven Crafting Gate disciple said a word coldly, and in a heartbeat, he punched again.

But before that guy knew it, the two Shadow Demon Guards stepped out, punched each on the left and right, and swiftly blasted the Heaven Crafting Gate disciple into the air.

After a round of shock, it was fine to fail to cross the Shadow Demon Guard's line of defense, but what was worse was that many people were killed by the Shadow Demon Guards, which made everyone feel a sense of powerlessness.

It was just that they were very aware of the consequences of not stopping Mo Xiu, and now, they could only work hard.

Several Heaven Crafting Gate disciples stood up, looked at each other, and shouted tacitly, "Enlarge the puppet!"

Hearing that, three of them raised their hands, the storage ring in their hands flashed. Three puppets with strange appearances, which looked like beasts but were not beasts, appeared in the hall.

"Roar…"

The three puppets roared. They all looked alike, and they looked as if they were really fierce beasts caught from somewhere.

Before long, the three puppets opened their mouths and swallowed the three Heaven Crafting Gate disciples beside them in one bite, and immediately rushed towards Mo Xiu's direction.

With a thought from Mo Xiu, the three Shadow Demon Guards rushed out and fought against the three puppets.

It seemed that the strength of the three puppets was very powerful, but it was nothing more than that. Fighting alone might not be the opponent of the Shadow Demon Guard.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The rumbling sound became one-piece, echoing in the whole hall.

Although the strength of the three puppets was not as good as the three Shadow Demon Guards, it was not so easy for the three Shadow Demon Guards to take down the three puppets either.

The disciples of Heaven Crafting Gate obviously knew that the strength of the puppets was not as good as that of the Shadow Demon Guards. For them, these puppets were not to defeat the Shadow Demon Guards, but to help attract a few Shadow Demon Guards. If not, they would never be able to break through the protective line of the Shadow Demon Guards.

Seeing the three puppets fighting with the three Shadow Demon Guards, the Heaven Crafting Gate disciple who shouted before shouted again, "Advance! Fight with Wu Jue!"

The people from all major sects once again joined forces to launch an impact on Mo Xiu.

The three Shadow Demon Guards were missing all of a sudden, and the defense was naturally relaxed, but for Mo Xiu, it was not a big problem.

He simply took a small step back, raised his hand, and three more Shadow Demon Guards rushed out, rushing towards the people of the various sects.

"Puff, puff…"

After the three Shadow Demon Guards went wild for a while, many people immediately fell to the ground.

However, many people still successfully avoided the Shadow Demon Guard and rushed to Mo Xiu.

It was just that there were two Shadow Demon Guards beside Mo Xiu. The two Shadow Demon Guards spontaneously stepped forward and stood in front of those people. Their claws protruded, and several others were easily torn apart.

"Go to hell!"

A voice rang from the right-hand side of Mo Xiu without warning. It was Zhu Wutao of Inferno Martial Sect who went around to the right of Mo Xiu at some unknown time, and slammed Mo Xiu's head with a vicious punch.

Mo Xiu had already noticed Zhu Wutao, so naturally, it was impossible for Zhu Wutao's sneak attack to succeed. He took a small step back decisively and easily escaped Zhu Wutao's attack.

Zhu Wutao was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Mo Xiu's defensive awareness was so strong that he would not forget to pay attention to the actions around him even when he was guarded by the Shadow Demon Guards.

Before he could attack again, a Shadow Demon Guard rushed over, pressing two demon claws on his shoulders, and tore his body in half without mercy.

"Puff…"

Blood rained out crazily.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Those Shadow Demon Guards were not stunned, they were still slaying frantically at the people of the major sects, and many people fell one after another in the blink of an eye.

At this time, there was a loud crash, and one of the puppets of Heaven Crafting Gate lost to the Shadow Demon Guard. It was thrown to the ground by the Shadow Demon Guard. After a violent tremor, it was completely destroyed.

"Boom, boom..."

Like a chain reaction, the other two puppets were also beaten to the ground by the Shadow Demon Guards one after another.

Seeing that the remaining two puppets were destroyed, the blood-red eyes of the three Shadow Demon Guards shifted towards the disciples of the major sects in the hall.

As if being stared at by the god of death, the people of the major sects finally knew that they were afraid, their faces were full of horror, and a few even trembled uncontrollably.

"Flee!"

A Heaven Crafting Gate disciple first yelled, ignoring being cast aside, and rushed towards one of the stone walls, seeming to want to escape the hall instantly.

At this time, escape was the only way. If they continued to fight, all of them would die. Even so, they wouldn't be able to win Mo Xiu. In the end, Mo Xiu would still enter the iron gate.

In other words, their battle was meaningless, it was just to die in vain.

With someone took the lead, others reacted one after another as many people rushed towards the stone wall for a while.

"Want to escape? Now that I have taken action, do you think you can escape?"

Mo Xiu snorted coldly and waved his hand. The three Shadow Demon Guards guarded the three stone walls respectively. All those who rushed to the stone walls and wanted to escape were shot to death without notice.

Still not giving up, there were also people who wanted to continue to fight Mo Xiu. After all, Fang Jing and Wang Xian had already entered the iron gate early. It was good to be able to delay Mo Xiu for a while. Maybe Fang Jing, Wang Xian, and the person from the Heaven Crafting Gate would get their hands on the treasure in this short time.

As long as one of the three got the treasure, everything was worth it, hence, someone could avenge them at that time.

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn.

"Kill!"

Everyone shouted, and once again rushed towards Mo Xiu.

Before, they could do nothing to Mo Xiu, but now, they had done everything possible, and many people had died, but they still couldn't do anything to Mo Xiu.

The battle was not even fierce, it lasted only a short while, and everyone died in the hands of eight Shadow Demon Guards.

Looking at the corpses that fell to the ground, Mo Xiu's face was indifferent. And between the wave of his hands, the eight Shadow Demon Guards returned to his back and disappeared.

After that, he ran the Universe's Origin Heavenly Art and cultivated for a short while, and the seven colors of light flashed together in a large array.

"Boom!"

After a loud noise, the tall iron gate burst open, but unfortunately, no one had seen this scene, otherwise, it would have been even more shocked.

The space inside the iron gate.

Ge Liuyun and Xing Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little worried because they did not see Mo Xiu even after a while.

Soon, three figures appeared in their line of sight, but it was not Mo Xiu, but Wang Xian, Fang Jing, and Zhou Yi of Heaven Crafting Gate.

The three of them obviously sensed that someone had entered the iron gate, so they came here specifically. But looking at the reaction of the three of them, it seemed that they did not expect that the people entering the iron gate would be Ge Liuyun and Xing Yuyan.
