Chapter 609: Send Them Back

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Send Them Back

Eastern Emperor City, the West Third Level Long Family, the Southern Netherworld Mansion, and the North Piaomiao Palace.

Just as Long Ao had guessed, his tactic of feigning a retreat had successfully exploited the mindset of the Four Great Forces.

Unsurprisingly, just as Long Ao had anticipated, when news spread that he had been summoned away by the Long Clan, the Four Great Forces paid the Dragon Sect no mind.

Ultimately, the one the Four Great Forces feared was Long Ao, not the Dragon Sect. This was a crucial distinction.

Long Ao had been summoned by the Long Clan, his fate uncertain.

With the Million Corpse Slaves recalled, all the teleportation channels opened. The Four Great Forces swarmed into Kyushu and began fighting to the death before they could even gain a firm foothold.

This time, the Four Great Forces had gone all in, and the flames of war spread across every corner of Kyushu.

Bodies littered the landscape, and rivers of blood flowed.

A thick stench of blood hung in the air above Kyushu.

Meanwhile, Long Ao had already dispatched his Million Corpse Slaves, who slipped into the Kyushu Spirit Realm without a sound. The Four Great Forces were completely unaware.

Not only that, but Long Ao had personally entered the Kyushu Spirit Realm, preparing to trap his enemies and slaughter them. After all, with both the Dragon Sect and his family protected, he had nothing to worry about.

「Ten days later.」

The Four Great Forces were still locked in a life-or-death struggle in Kyushu when news suddenly came from the Kyushu Spirit Realm: the million-strong Corpse Slave Army had launched a surprise attack on the Four Great Forces.

Long Ao himself did not appear.

’What is going on?’

As far as the Four Great Forces were concerned, Long Ao had been summoned by the Long Clan; it should have been impossible for the Million Corpse Slaves to attack them. And yet, what was the reality?

The Dragon Sect had caught the Four Great Forces completely by surprise.

The Four Great Forces didn’t dare show the slightest carelessness and immediately launched a counterattack. However, the Million Corpse Slaves possessed Undying Bodies, and each one could fight a hundred men. Coupled with the fact that the Four Great Forces were completely unprepared, they suffered one defeat after another in just a single day. In the end, they could only defend and were unable to mount any offense.

This time, Long Ao had learned his lesson, dispatching a two-hundred-thousand-strong Corpse Slave Army to directly guard two of the teleportation channels.

This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Four Great Forces sealing the channels and preventing him from entering the Kyushu Spirit Realm.

The Four Great Forces were utterly exasperated. None of them had ever imagined the Dragon Sect would pull the rug out from under them like this. If not for their deep reserves of power, they would have been annihilated by now.

Removing the foundation of the problem.

The Dragon Sect had used this tactic, and the Four Great Forces decided to use it as well.

The Four Great Forces conferred with the utmost speed and came to a decision: each force would dispatch an Earth Saint Warrior—a total of four Earth Saints—to the Dragon Sect. Their goal was to take control of the sect’s leadership and force the Million Corpse Slave Army to withdraw.

The Eighth Realm of Void Saint, in ascending order of power, consisted of the following ranks: Semi-Saint Martial Artist, Saint Warrior, Earth Saint Warrior, Heavenly Saint Martial Artist, Holy King Martial Artist, Saint Emperor Martial Artist, Saint Venerable Martial Artist, and Saint Emperor Martial Artist.

Earth Saints were considered precious assets by the Four Great Forces. Under normal circumstances, they were extremely reluctant to deploy their Earth Saint Warriors.

But things had already reached this point, leaving the Four Great Forces with no other choice. They could only dispatch their Earth Saint Warriors, hoping to annihilate the entire Dragon Sect in one fell swoop.

Four Earth Saints. Such a force was sufficient to destroy any power in all of Kyushu.

The Four Great Forces told no one about dispatching the four Earth Saints, all to ensure their strike would succeed on the first attempt.

Although the Dragon Sect was said to have a Great Emperor Martial Artist protecting it, the Long Family might not. The Four Great Forces had never believed the news about Long Haoshi breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm, which was why they had sent the four Earth Saints to the Long Family.

Celestial State, the Long Family estate.

Long Ao Peak was perfectly still. In the pitch-black night, only the intermittent croaking of frogs could be heard.

Just then, four figures suddenly appeared. They exchanged a look but said nothing, then shot toward Long Ao Peak, disappearing into the dark of night in the blink of an eye.

"Since the four of you are here, why not come and have a drink?"

The four had just arrived at Long Ao Peak and were about to begin their slaughter when a sudden voice nearly scared them to death.

The four of them were no fools. ’As Earth Saint Warriors, we know that not even a Celestial Saint could appear so silently,’ they thought. ’Could he truly be a Great Emperor Martial Artist?’

Rumor had it that the grandfather of the Dragon Sect Master, Long Ao’s grandfather Long Haoshi, had experienced a sudden, inexplicable surge in his Cultivation, allowing him to break through directly to the Great Emperor Realm. At first, no one believed it, but now, with the truth right in front of them, the four had no choice but to accept it.

’A Great Emperor Martial Artist is not someone we can fight.’

At this thought, the four Earth Saints didn’t hesitate for a second, immediately turning to flee. But just then, a terrifying pressure bore down on them, and in the next instant, Long Haoshi’s figure appeared before them.

"You had your chance to do this the easy way."

"You—"

SLAP! Without giving the man a chance to speak, Long Haoshi slapped him across the face. He then proceeded to slap them all left and right, landing heavy blows on the faces of the four Earth Saints.

In just a few seconds, all four of their faces were swollen like pigs’ heads. None of them could have ever imagined it would come to this.

"Courting death."

Done toying with them, Long Haoshi didn’t hesitate, killing each of the four with a single palm strike.

Before a Great Emperor, an Earth Saint was no different from an ant, unable to even put up a fight.

The Ten Realms of the Great Emperor, in ascending order of power, were as follows: Red Level Emperor, Orange Level Emperor, Yellow Level Emperor, Green Level Emperor, Cyan Level Emperor, Blue Level Emperor, Purple Level Emperor, Black Level Emperor, White Level Emperor, and Golden Level Emperor.

The Peak Realm of the Ten Realms of the Great Emperor was the so-called Sealed Titled Realm.

With Long Batian’s help, Long Haoshi had become a Red Level Emperor in just three short months. Even so, annihilating four Earth Saints was still a laughably easy task for him.

"Father, what should we do with the four of them?"

"Ao’Er left instructions before he left. No matter who the Four Great Forces send, we are to kill them and send their bodies back. I’m very curious to see what the Four Great Forces will think when they receive these corpses."

Long Yi felt as if he were in a dream. In less than two years, his son had grown to such a degree, and even his own father had reached the Great Emperor Realm. If this had happened in the past, he never would have believed it was real.

"Father, Ao’Er went to the Kyushu Spirit Realm to deal with the Four Great Forces this time... will he be alright?"

They were all well aware of Ao’Er’s strength. If he encountered an expert at the Earth Saint level or higher, he would likely have a hard time fending them off.

But Long Haoshi didn’t seem the least bit worried, saying with great confidence, "I have faith in Ao’Er’s abilities. With the help of the Million Corpse Slave Army, as long as he advances cautiously, it will be more than enough to deal with the Four Great Forces."

"Father, what should we do now?"

"We’ll send the four corpses back. I, for one, want to see how the Four Great Forces will react."
