Chapter 2397: Chapter 2396: With Your Sword, I Sever Your Head
Li Daoxun and the generals behind him, along with the more than five hundred thousand soldiers remaining, all wore expressions of anger.
They hadn’t expected that after their arduous battles and struggles against the Demon Race, there stood such a shameless group of people behind them.
Long Fei’s expression was calm as he stared at the people of the Nine Clans and softly said, "With the Demon Calamity looming, yet you still engage in internal strife here. If you perish, it wouldn’t be undue punishment."
Yao Zhaoyu and other descendants of the Nine Clans smiled coldly and scoffed at Long Fei, saying, "Long Fei, don’t be too arrogant. Our Elders have emerged; this Celestial Realms City is no longer a place for your antics."
"Is that so?"
Long Fei looked at him and suddenly made his move.
In the Void, he formed a massive palm imprint that swept up a black Mysterious Light and thunderously struck toward Celestial Realms City.
The huge palm imprint pressed against the transparent barrier of Celestial Realms City.
The semicircular barrier shook violently in the sunlight, like a water bubble, followed by a thunderous explosion as it shattered into pieces in the air.
The supports and the Formation Eye of the Array maintaining its operation simultaneously exploded, sending clouds of dust a hundred meters high into the air.
The people in and outside the city were instantly stunned by Long Fei’s dominant hand imprint.
The barrier that even the Nine Demon Lords couldn’t break, he shattered with one palm.
Zhang Ziling let out a crisp shout, "Soldiers, the Nine Clans have planned rebellion. Capture them all after returning to the city. If they resist, kill them without mercy!"
Li Daoxun led with a shout, "The end generals accept the command!"
In an instant, streaks of golden and silver armor soared into the sky, rushing toward Celestial Realms City in a fierce assault.
Long Fei had already ascended the city; without waiting for Yao Zhaoyu to escape, he stepped on him.
Yao Zhaoyu was never a match for Long Fei; even though he broke through to the Void Insight Realm over the years, he remained vulnerable in front of Long Fei.
The powerful force came crashing down, and the longsword in his hand shattered into two pieces.
Long Fei stared at him, shaking his head and saying, "Over the years, what have you Nine Clans done besides bleeding the world dry and fattening yourselves?"
Yao Zhaoyu’s face turned pale, shouting incessantly, "Long Fei, my great-grandfather is here; if you dare harm me, he will behead you!"
"I’ll wait for him!"
Long Fei kicked him away, and the Chaos Beast, long waiting on the side, swallowed Yao Zhaoyu whole.
The disciples of the Yao Family defending the area witnessed this, frightened, and ran away, swiftly flying back to the central continent with their swords.
Zhang Ziling led the army across the eight cities surrounding them. Before they could make a move, the citizens had already surrounded and attacked the Nine Clans’ descendants.
The will of the people, longing and yearning.
Everyone knew who protected Celestial Realms City and who wrecked it.
The truly challenging area was the central continent, already controlled by the Clan Elders of the Nine Clans, with millions of troops from the Nine Clans stationed in this city.
They fortified all places, merely awaiting Zhang Ziling and the army to advance.
Long Fei, accompanied by the Chaos Beast, descended first from the sky, standing in the air a thousand meters high, gazing down below.
He was well-acquainted with the mansions of the Nine Clans from his past exploits in Celestial Realms City.
This time, he brought not wealth, but vengeance.
"You’re here waiting for me; why bother hiding your head and skirting?"
Long Fei clasped his hands behind his back, uttering a gentle command to the people below.
In the city, nine Mystic Lights simultaneously soared into the sky with a long cry, "Since you’ve come, leave your life behind!"
Nine sword lights simultaneously rose to the sky, representing the most formidable power of the Nine Clans and the evolution of the Nine Sword Techniques.
The Sword Qi swirled like a flying rainbow, coiling in the air and revolving, forming a dense net encasing Long Fei.
They had prepared long ago for this moment, waiting for Long Fei to ascend and unleash this strongest strike.
Confident, they believed this sword stroke could kill the Demon Lord.
Yet, Long Fei appeared, and they used this sword on Long Fei.
The gaze of everyone in Celestial Realms City was entirely absorbed by the nine strands of Sword Qi soaring into the sky.
The Sword Qi resembled festive fireworks, illuminating the skies of Celestial Realms City.
Long Fei curled his lips, stamping down sharply.
A swirling black vortex rapidly evolved beneath his feet.
Time Law and Space Law continually intertwined within the black vortex, spitting out gleaming light bursts like electric sparks.
This black vortex was extremely dark, like ink splashed on white paper.
When the nine Sword Qi struck, they rushed into the vortex.
In the Void, a series of muffled explosions echoed, and as the Sword Qi entered, there was no response, sinking into the vortex as if into a void, consumed by it.
The Nine Tribes’ Elders gasped in shock below, their beards bristling.
They frantically urged the Sword Qi, battling the black vortex in the Void, adding even greater might to the Sword Qi.
The nine-colored light in mid-air grew blindingly intense.
Yet, inside the black vortex, there was still no reaction.
Long Fei called out in the air, "Passing the Heaven-Piercing Nine Swordplay to you is an insult to the ancestors of Heaven-Piercing Palace. I will use your swords to decapitate your heads, letting you apologize to them in the underworld!"
"With your own sword, behead your own head!"
He raised his hand and flicked, opening a portal on the other side of the black vortex.
Nine strands of Sword Qi soared into the sky simultaneously, guided by his Imperial Envoy, cutting arcs that flew downwards toward nine directions of the city.
The Sword Light was swift as lightning.
From nine directions in the city, a sound of Sword Qi reverberating in harmony echoed, as nine elders’ heads dropped to the ground.
"How is this possible!"
Their Primordial Spirits escaped the encasement of their flesh, fleeing in panic.
The Primordial Spirits of the Celestial Venerate Realm simultaneously fled in nine directions, fast as lightning, deserting their severed bodies without hesitation.
The Chaos Beast waited on the side, seizing the opportunity, devouring one elder’s body into its stomach.
After finishing one, it turned to another direction, devouring all the bodies of the nine Celestial Venerates.
The bodies of these nine Celestial Venerates, crafted with various natural treasures, had evolved to perfection.
Yet under the fierce Sword Light, they could not withstand.
To preserve their Primordial Spirits, they could only abandon their corporeal forms.
In anger and hatred, they left their words in the Void, promising revenge against Long Fei one day.
The Nine Clans’ disciples, observing the situation, were all terrified.
They stood there as if struck by lightning, their legs trembling, repeating internally, "The Old Ancestor died?"
"The Old Ancestor left?"
"Is it over like this?"
"..."
Only the Clan Leaders and Elders of each family reacted the fastest, shouting aloud, "Old Ancestor!"
"Everyone, act together, avenge the Old Ancestor!"
"Long Fei, you deserve death!"
"..."
The Sword Light flickered, and the group was about to strike at Long Fei.
Li Daoxun had already led the army in a charge, issuing an order, "Exterminate the Nine Clans’ rebels, if they do not surrender, kill them without mercy!"
The army shouted in unison, "Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
"..."
In an instant, weapons clashed, blood stained Celestial Realms City.
The Demon Race retreated, while the Human Race fell into chaos, and heads began to fall instantaneously.
