Chapter 633 - 629: Clan Annihilation

Chapter 633: Chapter 629: Clan Annihilation

"I am here. I’d like to see who dares to harm him!"

The indifferent voice was devoid of any worldly emotion, yet it carried a supreme authority that none dared to defy.

A five-colored radiance suddenly shot out, enveloping Hong Yu’s body and, with a WHOOSH, vanishing from right under the noses of the Lion King and the Great Ape King.

"Hmm?"

The expressions of the Lion King and the Great Ape King changed.

They had already guessed who had secretly intervened and looked up at the sky in unison.

A handsome, middle-aged man in a green robe surrounded by auspicious five-colored clouds stood with his hands clasped behind his back. At his side was the heavily injured Hong Yu.

At that moment, Hong Yu was being held in the arms of a beautiful young woman.

The woman wore a long green dress, looking both noble and pure. She had bright eyes and pearly teeth, and her gaze, as brilliant as the stars, was fixed on Hong Yu in her arms. Her fine brows furrowed slightly. "Father, his injuries are severe."

"Give him a Peacock Spirit Pill," the middle-aged man in the green robe said with a kind smile, looking at the young woman.

"Mhm!"

The young woman blinked, took out a Spirit Pill, and had Hong Yu consume it.

BUZZ!

A layer of green light enveloped Hong Yu’s body.

A moment later, the countless wounds and torn flesh on his body began to heal at a visible rate. Even the broken bones in his left hand quietly mended.

However, he remained asleep and had not yet woken.

The young woman asked worriedly, "Father, why hasn’t he woken up yet?"

"It’s fine. He simply overexerted himself and is recovering from grave injuries. He just needs to rest for a while."

The middle-aged man in the green robe was, of course, the Peacock King. He lovingly stroked his younger daughter’s head and smiled. "Jie’Er, take him back to Peacock Mountain first. I’ll come back to be with you after I’ve dealt with things here, alright?"

"Then you must be careful, Father. I’ll go back and make dinner for you!"

The young woman, Kong Jie, squinted her eyes, enjoying her father’s affection. Her voice was like celestial music.

The Peacock King nodded. "Alright. Remember to make me some braised Celestial Vault Mushroom!"

"Okay, I know!" she chirped.

Kong Jie flew away, carrying Hong Yu.

She left a trail of five-colored radiance in her wake.

The expressions of the Lion King and the Great Ape King shifted, their faces flushing with anger and shame. Both were incredibly proud and powerful beings who had just sworn to kill Hong Yu and obliterate his Soul.

And in the blink of an eye, the Peacock King had intervened and rescued him.

Even though they had come with the intention of having a showdown with the Peacock King, they still felt deeply humiliated. They sneered, "Peacock King, do you have no regard for us at all? This person killed our children, yet you let him go just like that?"

The Peacock King glanced at the two, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "You’re this furious because your sons were killed? Then what would you do if someone poisoned your closest friend and your young daughter?"

"Hmm?"

The faces of the Lion King and the Great Ape King changed.

They only knew that the Peacock King intended to move against their two tribes, but they had no idea that their own secret plot had already been exposed.

With that, the two of them dropped all pretense.

Ferocious, cold glints appeared in their eyes. The Lion King said sinisterly, "Since you already know, there’s nothing more to say. Nanshan Collection has been under your control for years. All this time, your Peacock Mountain does nothing, yet you take a quarter of Nanshan Collection’s income every year. We’re not happy about that."

The Great Ape King grinned, his silver fur bristling like steel needles clashing against each other. "Old Peacock, I’ve put up with you for a long time. Today is a good day to settle old and new scores. It’s time for Nanshan Collection to change masters!"

"My children, show yourselves!"

The Great Ape King let out a low roar.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of experts from the Great Ape Tribe surged forward from the distance, a dense mass like a rolling black cloud.

The Lion King also roared, "Warriors of the Lion Tribe, from this day forward, Nanshan Collection is ours!"

ROAR!

Similarly, over a hundred thousand of the Lion Tribe’s experts appeared, their elite forces blotting out the sky.

In an instant, the entire War God Arena plunged into Chaos and turmoil. The million spectators were terrified by the sheer momentum and scale of the scene.

Three great kings had gathered, with the Lion Tribe and the Great Ape Tribe joining forces in an attempt to overthrow the Peacock King’s rule.

The winds of change were sweeping through Nanshan Collection!

"Nobody move! Anyone who dares to leave today will be considered an enemy of my Lion Tribe!"

"Warriors of the Great Ape Tribe, listen up! Kill anyone who tries to leave without mercy!"

At once, the million spectators truly did not dare to move.

"Do you think the two of you alone are enough to deal with me?" the Peacock King asked, standing with his hands behind his back, his face thick with sarcasm.

This made the Lion King and the Great Ape King turn pale, but they had to admit that even if they joined forces, they were no match for the Peacock King.

However...

"Gak gak gak, but what if you add this old man to the mix?"

A cloud of black energy descended from the sky, forming a black whirlwind that howled and spun on the ground. A hunched-over, black-robed old man slowly straightened his body.

His eyes were like two volcanoes, his face pale and shrouded in a gloomy aura.

Though he looked ancient and decrepit, he faintly exuded an aura of supreme power, like an old lion that was still in its prime.

This person was the Lion King’s father, the previous Lion King—Lion Batian!

Once, his rapacious ambition led him to try and overthrow the Peacock King. He was ultimately wounded and nearly killed by the Xishang King, but the Peacock King mercifully spared his life.

Unexpectedly, after several decades, Lion Batian had not died, nor had he repented.

Instead, he had grown even worse.

Using a manual of Ancient Witchcraft and Gu he had obtained, he secretly stirred up trouble. For ten years, he used the Witchcraft and Gu Technique to covertly harm the experts of Peacock Mountain, the Xishang Tribe, and Nanshan Collection, or turn them into puppets to strengthen the Lion Tribe, all for the sake of this day’s battle.

"As I thought, you were behind all of this," the Peacock King sighed.

Lion Batian laughed sinisterly, his voice grating and harsh. "That’s right. The Dao Heart Demon Curse on the Xishang King, the Soul Poison on your daughter, and all the experts who have mysteriously disappeared from Nanshan Collection over the years—it was all part of my secret plunder plan. It’s just a pity that the Xishang King was only a few days from becoming my puppet before someone ruined it."

"Back then, I didn’t kill you, nor did I take my anger out on your tribe, all to give you a chance to repent and start anew. Who would have thought..."

The Peacock King sighed.

He had always been a peaceful man, unwilling to engage in wars and conflict. Because of this, although Peacock Mountain was the ruler of Nanshan Collection, it owned no industries.

But that did not mean he was soft-hearted.

The Peacock King’s gaze gradually sharpened as he swept it across the three of them. "I can give you one more chance. If the three of you take your own lives to atone for your crimes, I will not pursue the matter with your tribes. Otherwise, I can’t say for sure that Nanshan Collection won’t be left with only two tribes!"

"Heh heh, do you really think you’re the king of Nanshan Collection?"

"You want us to kill ourselves? Do you think you’re worthy? Do you have the strength?"

"Old Peacock, you’re finished. The Heaven-Dominating Elder Clan Leader wields the Witchcraft and Gu Technique. You are no longer our opponent."

The three kings all sneered, thinking the Peacock King was telling a joke.

"Alas!"

The Peacock King let out a sigh.

Suddenly, a vigorous and powerful voice, as deep and resonant as that of the Thunder Battle God, echoed from the void. "Big Brother, I told you long ago that these curs were ambitious and couldn’t be spared. You just wouldn’t believe me. Now, you should finally see the truth, right?"

The newcomer was none other than the Xishang King!

The Xishang King was in high spirits, wearing a suit of Purple Gold Divine Armor with a Five-clawed Golden Dragon coiling around it.

His long black hair flowed freely behind him, moving with the wind. His eyebrows were like two bolts of Thunder, and his mere presence exuded an immense, crushing pressure.

Excluding the Peacock King, he was the strongest fighter in Nanshan Collection—the Xishang King!

The kings of the Four Great Tribes had all gathered. This was not a feast, but a slaughter, a contest for supremacy.

The victor would surely prosper in the future.

The loser might face the extermination of their entire tribe...

A grim, cold light surged in the Xishang King’s eyes as he stared intently at Lion Batian. "You old bastard, I said back then I should have slapped you to death! If my big brother hadn’t pleaded for you, you’d have met King Yama long ago. To think you’d remain so unrepentant and nearly get me killed. Today, I’m going to flay you alive!"

"Hmph, I am not the same as I was before. The only one dying today will be you!" Lion Batian said coldly.

"Big Brother, the hearts of these traitors and rebels deserve death. Tell us how you wish to resolve this!" the Xishang King said, looking at the Peacock King.

His bond with the Peacock King was unbreakable; they were sworn brothers in life and death.

The Peacock King took a deep breath. He was not a weak or soft-hearted man. His cold gaze swept over the experts of the two tribes as he spoke indifferently, "The Lion Tribe and the Great Ape Tribe have committed treason and rebellion. Moreover, they have slaughtered indiscriminately with vicious methods that cannot be condoned. Today, I hereby decree that all forces of Peacock Mountain and the Xishang Tribe in Nanshan Collection are to attack with their full strength and bring about their..."

"Total! Annihilation!"

The two words were sonorous and forceful, spoken one at a time, each one ringing with finality.

As these two words left the Peacock King’s lips, the world seemed to lose its color. Dark clouds rolled in, and Thunder boomed.

And then...

A world-shaking battle began.

In this battle, the Peacock King revealed his supreme Divine Power. Fighting one against three, he brutally killed or crippled the three opposing kings.

The Xishang King’s combat prowess was equally unparalleled.

Clad in his Divine Armor, flickering with the shadow of a dragon, every punch and palm he threw carried world-destroying power.

Before him, even the combined forces of the Lion Tribe and Great Ape Tribe’s experts couldn’t last a single exchange. Their forces collapsed like a landslide.

The Peacock King and the Xishang King shocked all of Nanshan Collection with their bloody methods. Under their leadership, the powerful experts of the Xishang Tribe and Peacock Mountain joined forces and charged into the main camps of the Lion Tribe and the Great Ape Tribe.

For a time, Nanshan Collection was thrown into turmoil, and the sounds of slaughter echoed everywhere.

The massacre lasted for a full day and night.

The final result left countless people in silent shock, striking fear into the heart of all of Nanshan Collection.

As powerful as the Lion Tribe and the Great Ape Tribe were...

...within a single day, their tribes were tragically exterminated, with not a single member left alive.

Peacock Mountain remained the uncrowned king of Nanshan Collection, while the Xishang Tribe profited from the conflict, seizing control of the vast majority of the Lion Tribe’s and Great Ape Tribe’s assets, their power growing with each passing day.

Of course, Hong Yu knew nothing of this.

After a night of rest, he finally began to stir. He struggled to open his eyes, but when he saw the scene before him, he was completely stunned...

’What the hell is going on? Am I having a wet dream?’
