Chapter 1949: Chapter 1942: Beating a Dog When It’s Down
In front of everyone, Zhang Menglong walked up to the Nine Hells Beast, then controlled the Illusory God to rip it open, gut it, skin it, and pull out its wolf hairs.
Everyone knew Zhang Menglong was ruthless, but they still hadn’t expected him to be this ruthless—after slaughtering the Nine Hells Beast, he wouldn’t even leave the corpse alone.
After a brief silence, a roar of cheers exploded across all of Mount Yushen.
They’d been suppressed for far too long, constantly crushed by the Divine Profound Hall’s oppression. Today they finally got to straighten their backs and breathe. With this Nine Hells Beast gone, it was like one gigantic threat had been removed.
"Tch, never seen the world, have you!"
"Just a mere Nine Hells Beast. Bunch of hillbillies!"
The Sunset Sect disciples following Zhang Menglong all showed disdainful expressions. They’d already seen way bigger scenes than this—Zhang Menglong had one-shotted that bald guy with a single move. A mere Nine Hells Beast was worth jack shit to them.
After putting the Nine Hells Beast’s corpse away, Zhang Menglong drove the Illusory God straight toward the people of the Divine Profound Hall. The other Sunset Sect disciples followed right behind him, looking every bit like a vengeful king returning in triumph.
The Divine Profound Hall’s lackeys had already been scared shitless. Just the aftershocks from the Illusory God’s battle with the Nine Hells Beast had already made them wail in misery. Now that the Nine Hells Beast was dead, who could stop the Illusory God? Didn’t that mean they could only sit and wait to die?
The Elders and Divine Profound Hall disciples were all ashen-faced as well. Three years without seeing him, and this damned Gu Xiao had grown even stronger. He actually controlled the Illusory God to directly kill the Nine Hells Beast. That Nine Hells Beast was something even their Hall Master couldn’t match!
The Vice Hall Master was cursing nonstop in his heart. Their original goal today had been to break apart the alliance of these five great powers. Who knew Zhang Menglong would walk out of the Endless Land with his disciples, not only with their strength massively increased, but even killing the Nine Hells Beast.
If he drove the Illusory God to fight them, they’d be dead for sure!
"Retreat!" The Vice Hall Master immediately gave the order. The Illusory God could only act within the area around Mount Yushen. Once it left a certain range, it would automatically disintegrate and turn back into the underground vein of fate. Only within Mount Yushen’s range could it condense again.
This Vice Hall Master had once crossed hands with Lei Poguan, who had comprehended the third layer of the Nine Nether Sunset Art. At that time, another Vice Hall Master had been severely injured by him and almost fell, and his own strength was on par with that Vice Hall Master.
He’d already heard last time that Zhang Menglong had displayed the third layer of the Nine Nether Sunset Art in front of another Elder. Zhang’s current strength had also reached the Peak Divine Cultivator realm; he was probably no weaker than the Lei Poguan of back then!
But in these past years, relying on the resources of other superpowers, his own strength was also totally different from before. Even if he met the Lei Poguan of that year, he was confident he could defeat him. After all, he was now a Ninth Grade Dao Realm powerhouse!
Without the Illusory God, he might not necessarily lose to Gu Xiao and the others!
But how could Zhang Menglong possibly let them retreat? Controlling the Phantom Body, he directly blocked their escape route. The others followed closely behind; over eight thousand people, together with the Illusory God, formed a human wall.
"Retreat? Why the hell would you retreat?" Zhang Menglong chuckled. "You scared?"
"Gu Xiao, you’re just relying on that Illusory God’s power. If you’ve got the guts, fight me head on!" The Vice Hall Master immediately used a provocation tactic.
"Hmph!" Zhang Menglong let out a cold snort, and in an instant a gigantic palm swung viciously toward that Vice Hall Master.
He was no Nine Hells Beast—his physical toughness was nowhere near comparable. Even though he used all his strength to defend, he still felt as if all the bones in his body were almost shattered.
This time, Zhang Menglong didn’t use destructive power. Killing him in one hit would be way too boring!
The Vice Hall Master lay in the deep pit on the ground, blood and fragments of his internal organs at the corner of his mouth. As his powerful Life Force kicked in, those injuries began to rapidly heal.
He had just opened his mouth to speak when the Illusory God lifted a foot and stomped down again.
"Hiss!" Everyone sucked in a sharp breath. This was way too damn brutal!
"What head-on fight, what provocation tactic—what a load of bullshit. When you brought that Nine Hells Beast to attack Mount Yushen, why didn’t you think about relying on your own strength?"
"I’ve wanted to beat the crap out of you Divine Profound Hall bastards for a long time. Every single one of you acts like you’ve got no family, just love invading, huh? Love annexing others, huh? Love acting like kings and overlords, huh? I’ll beat the shit out of you, you dog-bred bastard!"
"Sorry, I don’t have much going for me, but I sure as hell love bullying people with power. Right now I really am stronger than you, and I really can stomp you to death. What the hell can you do to me about it?"
Zhang Menglong kept stomping as he ranted wildly, every other sentence cursing the Vice Hall Master’s mother.
The Vice Hall Master didn’t even get a chance to scream. His body was crushed over and over again, and healed over and over again. For the first time, he understood what it meant to want to live but not be able to, to want to die but not be allowed to.
This savage scene left the Divine Profound Hall’s disciples and Elders a bit at a loss.
"Run! Whoever can run, run! If you don’t run now, none of you are getting out!"
No one knew who shouted that from the crowd, but all at once all the Divine Profound Hall people and those Empire warriors started retreating in a panic.
This time, the Divine Profound Hall had brought a hundred thousand junior and mid-level Elders, several thousand high-level Elders, and millions of disciples. Now they scattered in all directions; it really would be hard to catch them all.
"Trying to run?" Zhang Menglong sneered. He formed a seal with both hands, and a gigantic dome covered all of Mount Yushen, sealing all the Divine Profound Hall people and their lackeys inside.
"Shut the door and beat the dog!"
"Heh heh!" At Zhang Menglong’s command, all the Sunset Sect outer sect disciples showed lewd, wicked grins. They’d been waiting for this day a long time. They’d start with these Elders and disciples first.
"Nine Nether Sunset Art, Second Layer!"
Even though they were still a bit inferior to the Lei Poguan of that year in this state, using the second layer of the Nine Nether Sunset Art to deal with these trash Elders was still easy as hell.
"Elder Liu, you were the one who led people to massacre my entire family back then, right? Did you ever imagine this day would come?" A young man radiated a dense bloodthirsty aura. His strength was enough to make Elder Liu, a Third Grade Dao Realm expert, tremble.
"You’re that little bastard from back then! You’re actually still alive!" Elder Liu clearly remembered killing him completely back then, not even leaving a single bone.
"Sorry to let you down. Today, are you ready to die?"
...
"You dog thief, you slaughtered my entire Royal Family back then. Today I’ll use your blood to honor them!"
"The few of you ganged up on me back then. I was lucky enough to survive. Today, I’m here to collect that old debt!"
"Fuck, how come all of you have old scores to settle? I got nothing—this is awkward as hell."
"Who cares! You Divine Profound Hall bastards killed my brothers’ families. I’ll take your dog lives for them too!"
...
"Let’s join in too!" Seeing this blood-boiling scene, the people on Mount Yushen couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
"Those Elders and Hall Masters are already tied up. Can’t we at least handle the rest? They’ve only got a few million. We’ve got over a billion!"
"And those lackeys—don’t let a single one of them get away!"
...
