Chapter 436 Kiyohara Sect Suffers Another Heavy Blow
Enraged, Wu Yuanshan's three corpses leaped wildly, his seven orifices emitting smoke. He frantically waved his palms, unleashing powerful spiritual energy that bombarded the array's light barrier, causing it to tremble violently and cracks to suddenly appear.
"Shen Rugo! Is this it? Is this the only despicable thing you can do? Come out and face your death!"
He attacked frantically while cursing loudly, his voice becoming sharp and distorted with extreme anger.
Shen Rugo watched with great interest from afar, secretly amused, while also marveling at Wu Yuanshan's terrifying strength at the Nascent Soul stage.
The formations he had set up could trap Nascent Soul cultivators for a long time, but under Wu Yuanshan's fierce attack, they began to crumble in less than half an incense stick's time.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Wu Yuanshan forcibly broke through the illusion array and the trapping array!
But then, an even more powerful Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation was activated, along with an even more terrifying Nine Dragons Fire Formation!
The five elements of sword energy—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—cycled and died, forming a giant sword wheel that enveloped Wu Yuanshan and the Qingyuan Sect members, relentlessly annihilating them!
At the same time, nine fire dragons, radiating raging flames, frantically spewed fire and launched indiscriminate attacks.
Screams rang out again, and dozens more disciples perished.
Wu Yuanshan's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Like a wounded beast, he roared and unleashed a magical artifact—a massive black seal. The seal grew rapidly in the wind, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall mountain peak that crashed down upon the Five Elements Sword Formation and the Nine Dragons Fire Formation!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After several violent collisions, the light from both arrays quickly dimmed.
As Shen Rugo watched the formations being broken one by one, only the last two superimposed trapping formations remained. Half of the Qingyuan Sect members had also been wiped out, each one wounded and in a sorry state.
A fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
"Strike while the iron is hot! Let's add some more fuel to the fire!"
With a sudden wave of his hand, he activated all the remaining level-five attack runes in his storage ring, more than twenty in total, and threw them down like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, fiercely towards the Qingyuan Sect members who were about to break out of the formation below!
"Wu Yuanshan! Here's another big gift for you! Catch it!"
The crisp sound echoed through the valley.
The moment she threw out the rune, Shen Rugo didn't even look at the result. She turned around and fled, pushing her sword control technique and swift wind talisman to their limits, shooting off into the distance without looking back.
She was going to deliver the final, fatal blow to Qingyuan Zong and Wu Yuanshan!
At the same time, she was also afraid that Wu Yuanshan would catch up with her; she was no match for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
During the flight, he also activated two flight talismans and an invisibility talisman on his body.
Behind her as she frantically fled, the Qingyuan Sect members, who hadn't even had time to catch their breath within the formation, suddenly saw more than twenty dazzling talismans fall like death warrants from the King of Hell.
Wu Yuanshan's pupils constricted as he sensed the terrifying energy within the talisman. He roared hoarsely, "Scatter! Defend!"
But it's too late!
The first Thunderstorm Talisman exploded, transforming into a raging sea of lightning. Purple electric snakes darted wildly, instantly turning seven or eight disciples into charred remains!
Immediately afterwards, the Fire Dragon Talisman erupted!
Three enormous fire dragons appeared out of thin air, baring their fangs and claws, charging into the crowd with temperatures that could burn the entire world. Wherever they passed, screams of agony filled the air!
The Ice Seal Talisman released extremely cold air, instantly freezing more than a dozen disciples and their spiritual energy shields into ice sculptures, which then shattered into countless ice shards!
The Vajra Armor-Piercing Talisman transformed into an indestructible golden light, easily piercing through a Golden Core cultivator. The Wind Blade Talisman whipped up countless wind blades, slicing through the cultivator like a slow, agonizing death...
The power of all the top-grade level 5 runes was unleashed at this moment!
Fire, lightning, frost, boulders, wind blades...
Various destructive energies collided, compressed, and erupted within the narrow valley passage, forming a destructive storm!
"No!"
Wu Yuanshan watched helplessly as his disciples fell in droves, their bodies torn apart, burned, and frozen...
His eyes were bloodshot as he frantically activated his magical artifacts and spiritual power to protect those around him. However, even at the center of such a dense and terrifying explosion, he was shaken so badly that his blood and qi surged and his spiritual power became disordered.
The shockwave from the explosion shattered his protective aura, and his hair, eyebrows, and beard were singed by the flames, instantly turning them charred and curled, emitting a foul odor.
His sect leader's robes were tattered, and his face and body were covered in countless bloody scratches. He was covered in dust and dirt, looking extremely disheveled.
As the last explosion dissipated in the valley and the lingering smoke and dust slowly settled, the scene before them left the survivors feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies turning ice-cold.
The original team of nearly 500 people has now dwindled to less than 200 survivors!
Moreover, everyone was injured; the seriously injured were wailing in pain, while the less seriously injured were pale as death.
The ground was covered with charred craters, shattered ice crystals, crisscrossing ravines, and mutilated corpses and blood, resembling a hellish landscape!
Looking at this tragic scene, Wu Yuanshan thought about how almost all the elites his sect had brought out had been lost, and how his meticulous planning had ended in utter defeat...
Extreme anger, regret, and humiliation erupted like a volcano.
"puff!"
He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, which splattered into the air. His vision went black, and he fell straight backward, utterly unconscious from the shock of his anger.
"Head!"
"Senior Brother Wu!"
"Master!"
The survivors were terrified and rushed to help, creating chaos at the scene.
Meanwhile, Shen Rugo was already leisurely riding the wind, hundreds of miles away.
Recalling the tragic state of Qingyuan Zong in the valley, she felt a surge of joy, her small face filled with a delighted and sly smile.
"Old dog, you've schemed against me, you've insulted me! This time you're in for a world of hurt!"
After this battle, Kiyohara Munechika will probably take decades for the younger generation to recover.
In a good mood, she quickly determined the general direction of the Star Palace and sped up.
……
Soon after, everything that happened in the Burial Immortal Valley Secret Realm spread like wildfire throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent cultivation world, even the news of the Qingyuan Sect's final sneak attack was spread.
All the major sects were shocked upon hearing the news.
As for Qingyuan Sect and Wu Yuanshan, they became the talk of the town throughout the cultivation world.
"Kiyohara Munechika has truly lost both his wife and his army this time!"
"More than that! They practically lost everything! Over a thousand elite disciples were wiped out in the secret realm, and on the way back, they were ambushed and almost completely wiped out!"
"Hahaha, that old bastard Wu Yuanshan, he's always so arrogant and domineering, I never thought he'd get his comeuppance! This is truly gratifying!"
"Wu Yuanshan and Qingyuan Sect have become the biggest joke in the entire Tianyuan Continent's cultivation world!"
Similar discussions were rampant in various restaurants, markets, and within sects.
Within the Qingyuan Sect, it was as if a magnitude 12 earthquake had struck. The Supreme Elders who had been in seclusion all broke out of their retreats.
When they learned of the sect's near-devastating blow and Wu Yuanshan's major decision-making errors in the process, they were furious.
After an emergency discussion, the Supreme Elders unanimously decided to immediately remove Wu Yuanshan from his position as sect leader. Given that his serious misconduct had caused the sect's reputation to be ruined, he was punished by being confined to the Cold Prison in the back mountains for a hundred years and was not allowed to leave except in times of life and death for the sect!
Subsequently, a Nascent Soul stage elder temporarily assumed the role of sect leader to stabilize the situation.
At the same time, the sect issued an order to devote all its resources to finding and cultivating outstanding and talented disciples in preparation for the Tianyuan Continent Sect Competition three years later, which would determine the allocation of sect resources. They were determined to maintain their fifth-place ranking at all costs.
