CHAPTER 240: MASSACRE

The saber pierced a disciple of Crimson Flame Palace through the neck and since the saber was coated in a layer of sharp wind, the head got separated and flew up.

Everyone who was about to walk towards the steps stopped seeing this. Their blood ran cold. They couldn’t believe how easily a mid-stage Soul Sea Realm cultivator was killed.

They were just thinking when another head flew up, then another.

Everyone’s eyes widened in horror, especially the disciples of Crimson Flame Palace who were now trying to run away or forcefully hiding behind someone. But no matter what, the saber would avoid everyone else and only target the disciples of Crimson Flame Palace.

Dodging was almost impossible and blocking didn’t work either. It was too fast for them to react properly.

"WHO IS DOING THIS..." The leader of Crimson Flame Palace was enraged but inwardly he was scared. Suddenly he remembered something. Crimson Flame Palace and Yin Yang Harmony Sect had been targeted inside the inheritance site. Was this...

He didn’t have time to think as the saber was now coming directly towards him. He felt his heart stop. He took out his sword but...

SLIKKKK

His head also flew up in the air. Watching this, despair hit the disciples of Crimson Flame Palace. They knew they couldn’t escape this fate. When even the strongest of them was killed like nothing then what could they do.

"Se-senior save us..." One of the female disciples of Crimson Flame Palace looked towards the shining orb in the sky but there was no response.

It was ironic to ask the spirit consciousness for help when you had entered the core city on your own greed while knowing all the dangers.

It wasn’t long before the woman was beheaded too.

The saber kept reaping lives and intense gloominess spread through everyone. No one took a single step other than the disciples of Crimson Flame Palace. A similar thought that someone was targeting Crimson Flame Palace ran through everyone’s head.

If their guess was true then wouldn’t that mean... they all looked towards the disciples of Yin Yang Harmony Sect.

The disciples of Yin Yang Harmony Sect were thinking the same thing and looking at the horrifying situation of the Crimson Flame Palace disciples they felt deep fear. Every single one of them was praying to heaven inside that it wasn’t the case.

Although it seemed their prayers hadn’t paid off. The saber flew up after taking the lives of at least eighty disciples of Crimson Flame Palace and it moved towards the disciples of Yin Yang Harmony Sect. Even after killing so many it was pristine clean and looking at its beautiful appearance made the disciples of Yin Yang Harmony Sect despair.

"No No.....NOOO..." Yun Zhihao, who was standing in front with Rong Chengyu and Ma Tianqi, screamed and immediately ran towards the back.

Rong Chengyu did the same but Ma Tianqi stood at his location. He knew that as long as the wielder of this saber wanted them dead they would die. No matter where they ran away it wouldn’t matter.

Ma Tianqi looked at the saber and when it came too close he closed his eyes before his head fell and that was the start of the massacre of Yin Yang Harmony Sect disciples.

The disciples of Crimson Flame Palace who survived didn’t know if they were spared or the person just wanted them to survive longer to feel more despair. They just sat in their location looking at the headless corpses of their fellow disciples near them. Blood had stained everything near them, making the whole pathway red.

Lian Zhi, Pei Lingxi and Bai Lian sighed inwardly. Lian Zhi even turned her head away. She still didn’t like seeing so much bloodshed. She didn’t say anything though. Feng Tian had already warned her to be prepared and she indeed was prepared for it.

Yun Zhihao had come almost to the beginning of the pathway where Lin Feng and the others were standing. He was scared to the core and without even caring decided to get off the pathway. But just as he was about to cross...

THUDDDD

He got slammed into an invisible shield and fell to the ground.

Rong Chengyu, who was just behind Yun Zhihao, stopped seeing that. He looked back at the saber and what entered his eyes was a clean massacre similar to Crimson Flame Palace. Was he going to die too? The saber was already very close to his location. There was little hope inside his heart as a few disciples of Crimson Flame Palace were spared.

Just as he thought that, the saber stopped and flew a little above. Rong Chengyu got stunned as it turned its blade towards Yun Zhihao and him.

"N-No..." A single word escaped his mouth before he felt like he was flying and rotating. While rotating he saw a headless body just below him and he knew it was his own body. Slowly his eyes closed and without feeling much pain he died.

Yun Zhihao looked at the falling head of Rong Chengyu. He trembled and when he looked at the saber he almost lost his soul as it was pointing towards him. "S-Stay away..." He started moving away without even standing up from the ground. He even covered his neck with his arm.

Looking at Yun Zhihao’s state most of the cultivators shook their heads. They couldn’t believe he was the leader of Yin Yang Harmony Sect inside this inheritance site.

The saber moved. Its speed wasn’t slow or fast as Lin Feng didn’t think this guy was anything special. It was just that this guy was on his list of elimination due to his killing intent.

SLIKKKK

The hand and the neck of Yun Zhihao got sliced without any obstruction and this was the end of the massacre.

As for the reason he killed only about eighty cultivators of both sects, it was so that suspicions wouldn’t fall on Lian Zhi and Pei Lingxi for surviving.
