Chapter 1006 - Asura's Blade of Execution
"There is only one fate for those who dare block my path— death!"
Yuan's words reverberate in Lord Ji's and the leaders' heads, putting them in a daze for a split second.
However, this split second was more than enough to disturb their concentration and break their defenses.
"THE HEAVENS WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS, YUAN!" Lord Ji screamed at the top of his lungs as the Asura's Blade of Execution consumed their bodies, killing them instantly.
Yuan wiped the sweat from his face after deactivating Asura's Blade of Execution. The technique required so much energy that it nearly exhausted all of his spiritual energy.
"The Heavens will never forgive me? The Heavens should be the one begging for forgiveness!"
He closed his eyes and began recovering his spiritual energy while hovering in midair.
When the army saw this, they saw this as a chance to avenge their leaders and kill Yuan while he was weak.
And since there were so many people there, Xiao Hua and the others could not hold them all back from reaching Yuan.
However, their help wasn't necessary because Yuan still had more than enough energy to deal with the leftovers of the Ji Family and the Seven Legacy Families.
Without opening his eyes or moving his body, Yuan used the Starry Abyss to kill anyone that dared to approach him.
Eventually, the rest of the army started fleeing from the battle.
With their leaders dead and without having anyone strong enough to deal with Yuan's servants, much less Yuan himself, it was basically a suicide mission with no chance of winning, so the people did what was natural— abandon the fight and run away.
"Where do you ants think you're going?! There is nowhere for you to run! The Young Master has ordered us to leave none alive! All of you insignificant ants that dared to point their weapons at my Young Master will perish here today!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed as she released the strongest technique that she could muster with her current strength.
"Phoenix Flames Burning Heavens Art!"
Feng Yuxiang summoned her fiery wings, and flames started appearing in the sky above her, almost as though the heavens were on fire.
"Burn them all!" Feng Yuxiang flicked her sleeves, causing the sea of flames in the sky to rain down countless fiery projectiles that took the shape of a feather.
"Aaaaah!'
In mere seconds, tens of thousands of cultivators fell to Feng Yuxiang's attack.
Not wanting to lose to Feng Yuxiang, Xiao Hua started releasing Heaven Splitting Sword Strikes with every swing, changing the landscape there within moments.
When Lan Yingying saw their awespiring performance, she felt a rush of adrenaline coursing through her body and her heart throbbing with excitement.
The three servants felt as though something had ignited within their hearts after Yuan gave them their first order to fight for him, so they wanted to perform to the best of their abilities.
Although it felt like a long time had passed, in reality, only a few minutes have passed since the fight began.
The battlefield eventually became quiet, and Xiao Hua and the others returned to Yuan's side, their mission finished.
"Young Master, we have eradicated everyone from the Seven Legacy Families and the Ji Family. What are your orders now?" Feng Yuxiang said to him with a satisfied look on her face.
Yuan looked at the destruction that they had caused and spoke, "We have done something irreversible today. We might kill even more people in the future, soaking our bodies in blood. I won't blame you even if you wish to leave my side now."
"Even if you order me to kill everyone in the Nine Heavens, I would not hesitate to stain my hands for you, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said.
"Xiao Hua too!" Xiao Hua also said.
Lan Yingying silently nodded her head.
Yuan smiled when he saw the resolve in their eyes, and he spoke in a calm voice, "I'm really fortunate to have companions like you by my side."
Sometime later, Yuan's appearance returned to normal, and the Evil God's presence could no longer be felt.
"Let's gather all of the treasures here before we leave. It would be a waste to leave them here." He said to them a moment later.
They proceeded to gather all of the spatial rings and storage pouches from the battlefield.
"Young Master, I have been wanting to ask you this for a while now, but how many reincarnations have you experienced? And do you have memories from all of your past life?" Feng Yuxiang asked him as they looted the corpses.
"I don't know. I am only aware of four at this moment, and I don't have all of their memories. I have recently assimilated the Divine Paragon's memories, but I can only absorb so much at a time, so it will be a while before I fully regain all of the Divine Paragon's memories, and until I do that, I cannot touch the others' memories. Though, they sometimes leak out, just like a few minutes ago." He explained to them.
"Who was responsible for the event just now?" Feng Yuxiang asked him.
"He calls himself the Evil God. He seems to be an infamous killer that has killed countless people in the past, but I think there is more to it."
"Evil God, huh? The name sounds familiar, but I cannot remember where I heard it from." Feng Yuxiang said with a pondering face.
Xiao Hua then spoke, "Brother Yuan… That technique you used just now… Is it also because of the Evil God?"
He nodded. "That's right. Asura's Blade of Execution, huh? It's the strongest technique I have seen thus far. It must be at least an Ancient-rank technique."
"It's a Mythic-rank technique from Xiao Hua's family…" She revealed to him the origin of the technique.
"What? Really?" Yuan looked at her with wide eyes.
"So the Evil God is somehow connected with your family? How surprising…" Yuan mumbled.
"But Xiao Hua doesn't know any Evil God." She shook head.
"It's fine. We don't need to know everything right away. We will find the answers eventually."
Xiao Hua nodded.
