Chapter 2168 - 2157: When the War Sword Appears, Blood Must Be Shed

"Taihuang Demon, sooner or later, I’ll kill you!" Yao Chenfeng was furious, being chased by this sword was suffocating, and he couldn’t wield his Holy Artifact, or else he’d invite greater disaster. Faced with no choice, he turned and punched the Heartless Sword’s blade. Buzz, buzz, buzz... The blade trembled slightly, emitting a quivering sound, yet the punch didn’t directly send the Heartless Sword flying.

Moreover, the Heartless Sword’s brilliance grew even more intense, if given the chance, it would surely continue the rhythm of slaying him.

"This sword will not rest until it drinks blood!" Taihuang Demon’s chilly voice echoed, Yao Chenfeng gritted his teeth, bereft of options, he allowed the sword to slash a bloody wound on his body, only then did he soar into the sky and leave.

Once Yao Chenfeng departed, Taihuang Demon freed herself from the constraints of the five War Arrows, pursuing him until his presence vanished.

"You’re lucky this time; next time when I’m honing my skills, I refuse to believe you can escape." Taihuang Demon gradually sheathed the Dual Swords, her eyes cold, not excited by defeating Yao Chenfeng, rather a hint of disappointment shone in her gaze.

The reason for her emergence now was partly due to orders from Supreme Emperor; Taishang Sect had already announced publicly their cooperation and protection of the Holy Hall’s safety. When the Demon God Sect appeared at this time, it was akin to courting death. Fortunately, in the final moments, Yao Chenfeng hadn’t used his Holy Artifact; otherwise, he would have suffered an utterly miserable death.

Meanwhile, when the Holy Hall’s people arrived, it was too late; the two Buddhist Sect monks had died. The pier’s edges were littered with blood, fragments of flesh, and bodies everywhere.

The instigator felt repentant; he hadn’t anticipated that the matter would escalate so much when he informed Cang Jinyun about the Buddha Gate Guardians’ departure, unaware that Cang Jinyun might have passed the news further.

Facing the two corpses, Hua Tiandu felt deeply saddened and distressed.

"Damn it, who did this!" Black Hawk’s teeth clenched; having spent days with the two Buddhist Sect protectors, he was now witnessing their tragic deaths. He was filled with rage, his fists clenching so hard they made cracking sounds; if the enemy were before him, he truly wanted to punch them to death.

"It must be the Demon God Sect, who else would have such capability to dare kill people from the Buddhist Sect?" Red Eagle was equally furious and distressed; they were one step too late, if only they could have arrived sooner.

The two Buddha Gate Guardians might not have died so terribly or so quickly.

"Damn it, Demon God Sect, we, the Holy Hall, will not let you off." Black Hawk punched the ground, his heart bleeding. These two protectors had recently been closely associated with them, even teaching them the Arhat Golden Body of the Buddhist Sect; they were practically half their masters.

But now, the cold, lifeless bodies would never live again.

"What is going on?" Red Eagle furrowed his brows repeatedly; clearly, the plans were in place, how could there be such a discrepancy in intelligence from the Holy Hall?

"I don’t know either, what’s going on? Didn’t Beiming Yu have an agreement with the Buddha Gate Guardians beforehand?" Not only was Red Eagle baffled, even Black Hawk felt perplexed, because Beiming Yu had previously clarified everything with the protectors.

Now, however, the Holy Hall couldn’t appear in time, leading to the deaths of the Buddhist Sect members.

"There must be something amiss here, let’s not make wild guesses, first take care of the corpses of the two Buddhist protectors, then return and inquire about Beiming sister’s situation." Hua Tiandu said.

He felt some guilt towards the two protectors, after all, this event stemmed from him; were it not for him, they wouldn’t have died so tragically.

"Damn it, let me find out who did it, and if I do, I’ll tear them to shreds!" Black Hawk clenched his fists, his facial muscles twitching, feeling extremely displeased.

Everyone present was in a grim mood; it was the first mistake since the Holy Hall’s establishment, and there was no way to trace its source. They could only transport the Buddhist protectors’ bodies back and then discuss countermeasures.

......

After seeing the protectors’ bodies transported away, Hua Tiandu felt a mix of emotions but ultimately steeled himself, keeping his face unchanged as he sent the bodies back to the Holy Hall.

......

"Crash!"

Within the Holy Hall, the teacup in Beiming Yu’s hand slipped, crashing to the ground, shattering into countless shards!

"What! Those two protectors are dead? Who did it?" Beiming Yu’s body trembled; she never expected the event to unfold tonight as she knew the Demon God Sect harbored hostility toward the Buddhist Sect members, wanting their demise, never imagining they’d be killed this night.

"It must be the Demon God Sect." Black Hawk gritted his teeth, breathing heavily, his dark face exuded intense anger; he was furious.

Zhonghai City was now entirely under the Holy Hall’s control, yet the Demon God Sect could still attack here at night and kill the two Buddhist Sect protectors within the Holy Hall’s boundaries, essentially humiliating the Holy Hall.

"Yes, it must be the Demon God Sect; I can’t think of anyone else bold enough to make a move against the Buddhist Sect here, besides in the Holy Hall’s territory daring to commit murder, this villain must be the Demon God Sect." Red Eagle’s anger blazed, but with no evidence, confronting the Demon God Sect might be futile.

Because when Lin Zifeng was around, the Holy Hall had unknowingly offended many; if they now storm the Demon God Sect recklessly, the ramifications would be significant, and some would likely intervene.

In essence, the Demon God Sect’s existence maintains Huaxia’s power balance; should the Holy Hall devour Demon God Sect, other forces would be anxious, fearing the Holy Hall’s expanded ambitions, complicating matters further.

"Demon God Sect, I’ll make you repay in blood!" Beiming Yu’s face turned pale, her tender fingers squeezed the chair hard, making it creak, until it shattered from her powerful grip!

"Beiming sister, what do we fear? Let’s just attack the Demon God Sect, kill those shameless two sect masters and sect leaders. These two have reached a realm of shamelessness, keeping them around will only harm the Holy Hall more; as long as you say the word, even if you want me dead, I’m willing to sacrifice my life," said Huo Zhengfeng.
