Chapter 1141: Wrath of Gods and Men

You lost!

Ye Chen descended from the nine heavens, landing on the ruined Dan Fighting Platform.

Ye Chen had won, but the victory came at a heavy cost. His Saint Body was stained with blood, covered in wounds, for facing off directly against an Emperor Realm Peak expert required a tremendous price. Such supreme glory had to be exchanged for fresh blood.

I don't believe it! I don't believe it!

Ku Yue roared, his hair disheveled, his face a bloody mess, looking ferocious like a malevolent ghost.

You lost. Hand over your life!

Ye Chen spoke indifferently, his words ethereal and ice-cold.

As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Was Ye Chen really going to kill Ku Yue?

Immediately, all eyes turned to Ruò Tiān Zhū Què.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què rose to her feet and approached slowly, her expression cold and imposing, carrying the authority and pressure of an ancestor that made everyone present tremble. It was the pressure of a Quasi-Saint, which few could withstand.

Ku Yue suddenly turned his head, staring coldly at Ruò Tiān Zhū Què, his face still twisted in ferocity.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què said nothing, but a chain of order flew out from her brow—it was her supreme dao principle—and she sealed Ku Yue on the spot.

This...!

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què's action left everyone at the scene stunned. She had sealed Ku Yue. Was she really going to execute him? He was a seventh-tier alchemist, after all, the leader of Ling Dan Ge, with an enormously vast influence.

Zhū Què, are you going to kill me?

Ku Yue did not resist, but he gritted his teeth and glared at Ruò Tiān Zhū Què.

You lost, so you must pay with your life.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què replied calmly.

I lead Ling Dan Ge. Do you dare to kill me?

Ku Yue let out a sinister laugh.

Ling Dan Ge.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què couldn't help but smile. If you had used that to threaten me in the past, I might have been cautious. But now, do you think you still have that qualification? Ling Dan Ge was defeated by Dan Fu, and you were defeated by Ye Chen. Dan Fu has the absolute strength to replace Ling Dan Ge and the absolute qualification to lead it. They will do a better job than you, Ku Yue.

At these words, a cold, menacing light flashed in Ku Yue's eyes.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què's words also made many people at the scene stroke their beards thoughtfully.

What Ruò Tiān Zhū Què said was indeed correct. Ling Dan Ge, from top to bottom, had been utterly defeated, and Ku Yue no longer had the leverage to make Zhū Què ancestor wary. His chips were completely gone.

Zheng!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Zhū Què Saint Sword appeared in Ruò Tiān Zhū Què's hand, surrounded by chilling sword light.

Hahaha... hahaha...!

Unexpectedly, Ku Yue burst into laughter, his voice filled with ferocity and anger. When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked. Zhū Què, you have such a ruthless heart.

I'm still not as ruthless as you.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què replied with a cold smile.

This is truly disheartening.

Yue Shan and the others all let out cold hums. Our master has led Ling Dan Ge for a thousand years, guiding us to refine countless pills. Even if he has no merits, he has toiled hard. To kill our master over a single dan fight—how can Zhu Que ancestor's actions appease the people's hearts?

Ancestor, please think twice!

As soon as Yue Shan spoke, the eight great princes quickly stood up.

The True Person is a seventh-tier alchemist with immense contributions. He cannot be killed.

Many from the nine great families also rose to their feet.

It's just a bold claim. Why take it seriously, ancestor?

Even people from the Zhū Què family stood up, each with noble status.

Ancestor, please reconsider. The True Person cannot be killed.

Too many people at the scene stood up—members of the nine great families, the main branch of the Zhū Què family, and various renowned figures. Each of them held significant power and military authority, and they were all pleading for Ku Yue.

This is truly shocking.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què watched and then sneered. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have realized how deeply and widely Ku Yue's influence had infiltrated.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què was certain that if she killed Ku Yue today, it wouldn't be long before his allied forces would likely unite in rebellion. Those people all held military power, forming a terrifying force.

Ancestor's actions this time are hard to convince the masses.

As Ruò Tiān Zhū Què sneered, Xue Yan let out a cold hum.

Please release the True Person.

Xue Yan's words were firm, and many others echoed him, as if they were on the verge of forcing her hand.

Then I'll eliminate you first.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què suddenly struck, her sword destroying heaven and earth.

You...

Xue Yan's expression changed drastically, his eyes bulging in shock. He never expected Ruò Tiān Zhū Què to attack him so suddenly, leaving him completely unprepared and struck down without warning.

This...

Everyone at the scene was stunned, not anticipating Ruò Tiān Zhū Què's ruthlessness. Even Ku Yue was taken aback.

Who else wants to plead for him?

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què let out a cold hum, scanning everyone present with the pressure of a Quasi-Saint.

We...

Those people hesitated to speak and quietly backed down. If they stuck their necks out again, they would be the next Xue Yan.

Ku Yue, safe travels.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què had already raised her killing sword, her eyes filled with naked killing intent.

Zhū Què, how dare you kill me?

Ku Yue was afraid now, roaring hysterically, If I die, more than half of the people here will accompany me to the grave.

Oh?

Hearing Ku Yue's words, Ruò Tiān Zhū Què couldn't help but smile and lowered the Zhū Què sword.

You never expected this!

Ku Yue laughed in a sinister and terrifying way. More than half of the people here have been implanted with my cursed seals. The eight great princes, the Zhū Què family Holy Lord, the nine great families' ancestors, Holy Lords, elders... If I die, they won't survive either. They'll all perish with me, and the entire Zhū Què Star's combat strength will plummet instantly. The whole You Du will fall into chaos.

How is that possible?

Ku Yue's words caused an uproar at the scene.

You're making it sound so frightening. Do you think I'll believe it?

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què looked at Ku Yue with great interest.

You will believe it.

Ku Yue gave a strange smile, and an ancient cursed seal appeared on his brow. At the same time, more than half of the people present had cursed seals emerge on their brows, all connected to his main cursed seal.

You...

Everyone at the scene was shocked, including the great prince, the Zhū Què family Holy Lord, the nine great families' ancestors, Holy Lords, elders... and even Yue Shan and Yue Hai. The number was staggeringly large, and none of them knew when they had been implanted.

Damn.

Someone in the crowd cursed loudly—it was Fan Tong.

So many people have been implanted with cursed seals. Has Ku Yue gone mad?

Exactly as Ku Yue said, those implanted are all high-level figures in You Du, holding military power and with high cultivations. If they die, You Du will collapse in an instant.

Good thing this dan fight exposed his trump card. If we waited a few more decades, he would have completely controlled You Du.

What a massive scheme.

The shocked voices at the scene turned into waves, each one rising higher than the last.

Ku Yue.

Amid the shock, the various renowned figures were furious, the eight great princes were furious, the nine great families' Holy Lords, ancestors, and elders were furious, the Zhū Què family Holy Lord, elders, and hall masters were furious, and even Yue Shan and Yue Hai were furious. Killing intent overflowed from all of them.

Do you still wish to plead for him?

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què looked at those with the cursed seals with great interest.

Kill him! Kill him!

Everyone was enraged. They had revered Ku Yue for years, only to realize he had treated them this way. It was a massive irony, the greatest sarcasm.

Kill me? If you kill me, you'll all go down with me.

Ku Yue's ferocity had turned manic in his desperation to survive.

You...

Too many people nearly choked on their anger. They knew they had been schemed against by Ku Yue, but they couldn't kill him.

Ruò Tiān Zhū Què, do you still dare to kill me?

Ku Yue laughed sinisterly at Ruò Tiān Zhū Què.
