Chapter 376: Chapter 376 The Beginning of Slaying the Gods
“Kill!” Wu Peng roared in fury as he saw nearly a thousand saints from the four major Sects fall, all meeting grim deaths, all perishing without a whole corpse, bellowing, raging, madly striking out in frenzy.
However, no matter how frantically Wu Peng and the others attacked, they were constantly suppressed by the Iceflame Qilin and Azure Thunder Python’s six people.
The more Wu Peng fought, the more he was inflamed with rage, the more frenzied he became.
And Xiaotian, controlling the power of the Sword Path, would occasionally activate the eighteen Sword Steles to bombard Wu Peng and his seventeen people, leaving Wu Peng in a sorry state.
“Xiaotian, if you have the guts, come down here!” Wu Peng bellowed furiously, his murderous intent unruly, “Let’s have a one-on-one duel!”
Everyone was speechless.
Wu Peng was a Divine Spirit, yet he had the audacity to challenge a Martial Emperor to a duel. Such words, it seemed, only Wu Peng could utter.
The Iceflame Qilin looked at the frenzied Wu Peng and spoke coldly, “Wu Peng, if you’re brave enough, duel me!”
Wu Peng was momentarily choked up.
Seventeen Divine Spirits were at a disadvantage against the six of them, including the Iceflame Qilin. If he were to duel the Iceflame Qilin alone, he would surely get trounced so badly that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.
The battle raged on.
Sword Qi pierced the sky, Iceflame enveloped everything, and Divine Thunder roared with detonation.
The forces of the Divine Spirits, intertwining with one another, shocked everyone present.
Li Hong stood at a great distance, his spirit wavering, his blood boiling.
This was the power of the Divine Spirits— a raise of a hand or a step could obliterate mountains and rivers, destroy cities and nations.
This battle was even more shocking, more stirring, more exciting than the one when the four major Sects besieged the True Dragon Divine Sect.
Especially the power of the Demon Sky Sword God and Heartfelt Demon Ape, which shook Li Hong and the others to their core.
By now, the battle between the Demon Sky Sword God and the Heartfelt Demon Ape had reached a fever pitch. They fought above the Nine Heavens, with storms swirling and darkness boundless, as myriad Sword Qi burst out from time to time.
However, as strong as the Demon Sky Sword God’s Sword Qi was, it could only cut through the surging Demonic Qi on the Demon Ape’s body, unable to inflict any harm on the Demon Ape itself.
And every time the Demon Ape Iron Chains were swung, they forced the Demon Sky Sword God to retreat continuously. The difference in strength was clear, and if the battle dragged on, the Demon Sky Sword God was bound for defeat.
Wu Peng also saw that it was only a matter of time before the Demon Sky Sword God lost. Panic-stricken, he wondered—who among them could withstand the Demon Ape if it turned its attention to them after defeating the Demon Sky Sword God?
None of them could!
Soon, they would all be killed one by one by the Demon Ape.
Thinking about the predicament he would face in a short while, Wu Peng felt icier the more he thought about it.
Tang Hong and the others apparently also realized this, and fear began to unsettle their hearts.
“We have to break out!” Wu Peng bellowed, stepping into the air and ascending, rising in a straight line upward. This was the signature Divine Skill of Sky-Stepping Sect, the Sky-Stepping Ascendancy.
As Wu Peng stepped into the sky, an astonishing Divine Power burst forth from his figure, propelling him upwards like a rocket.
Just as Wu Peng was about to escape, the Azure Thunder Python coldly shouted, “Thunder Burst!” Countless Divine Thunders from the Nine Heavens blasted down, exploding right above Wu Peng’s head.
Wu Peng’s face turned pale as he frantically dodged backward, his Sky-Stepping Divine Sword spinning madly to form a barrier of swords.
The Nine Heaven Divine Thunder exploded upon the barrier, blasting Wu Peng back to where he started.
At that moment, Wu Peng finally realized—the Iceflame Qilin and the others hadn’t been fighting with all their might; they’d been simply containing them, waiting for the Demon Ape to be free so they could deal with them one by one!
Wu Peng glanced at Xiaotian on the airship, noticing his cold gaze. Wu Peng was both shocked and furious.
He looked at the Demon Sky Sword God above the Nine Heavens, then suddenly pulled out an ancient talisman.
“Don’t let him use the talisman to teleport!” Xiaotian on the airship spotted the ancient talisman in Wu Peng’s hand and immediately called out.
As Xiaotian’s words fell, the Iceflame Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python both attacked Wu Peng simultaneously.
In alarm, Wu Peng crushed the ancient talisman in his hand.
Instantly, the space vibrated, and his body surged with light.
Just as Wu Peng was about to be transported thousands of miles away by spatial transmission, suddenly, the Iceflame Qilin roared, its power of ice and flame surged dramatically, covering the sky and engulfing the area, freezing all the surrounding space.
As long as the space was frozen, he wanted to see how Wu Peng would use spatial transmission.
Sure enough, Wu Peng, whose form had vanished, soon fell from the sky once more.
Seeing that even the spatial transmission talisman had failed, Wu Peng’s expression turned even uglier.
He roared at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, in this life, I will kill you!”
“Unfortunately, you won’t have the chance,” Yang Xiaotian replied coldly.
Wu Peng tried to speak again but was interrupted by the Azure Thunder Python’s Nine Heaven Divine Thunder.
Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others, just like Wu Peng, tried to escape countless times, but they were always interrupted by the Iceflame Qilin, and Tang Hong gradually fell into despair.
“Yang Xiaotian, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!” Tang Hong roared furiously, with his blood essence burning and his divine power continuously rising.
Clearly, he had deployed a forbidden technique of the True Dragon Divine Sect, willing to sacrifice his blood essence to increase his combat power.
Xiao Xiong and others also deployed their Sect’s forbidden techniques to enhance their combat abilities.
Watching Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others fight desperately, Yang Xiaotian stepped into the void, arriving at the Sword Path, and activated the power of eighteen Sword Steles with the Divine Elixir.
Endless Sword Qi surged forth from the eighteen Sword Steles.
A golden divine shadow appeared behind Yang Xiaotian.
The moment this golden divine shadow emerged, divine might spread all around, causing the hearts of Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and everyone else to tremble with an overwhelming impulse to worship.
Even the Demon Sky Sword God was no exception.
The Demon Sky Sword God, filled with fear, wondered which ancient powerhouse had set up this Sword Path, possessing such divine might!
However, the golden divine shadow was very vague, and everyone couldn’t make out the appearance of the divine shadow.
As the power of the Sword Path continued to erupt, the Demon Sky Sword God pushed back the Heartfelt Demon Ape with a single sword strike and, no longer lingering in battle, turned into a beam of sword light, vanishing into the horizon.
Seeing the retreating Demon Sky Sword God, Wu Peng and the other seventeen despaired even more.
Seeing the Demon Sky Sword God flee, the Heartfelt Demon Ape didn’t pursue, but with one step forward, it had already reached the seventeen, swinging out a massive iron chain, which flung a Divine Spirit powerhouse of the Sky-Stepping Sect flying away.
The Divine Spirit crashed into the distant ground, its head having been blown to pieces, and became a headless corpse.
Seeing the Divine Spirit of the Sky-Stepping Sect’s head exploded, all the powerhouses broke out in cold sweat.
Wu Peng and the other sixteen turned pale as ghosts.
“The God Slaying is beginning,” Li Hong said, stunned.
What would the scene be like if Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others were all slaughtered?
“The Divine Dragon Empire is about to change hands!” murmured an old ancestor.
If Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others were to fall, it would mean the extinction of the four great Sects; it was not just a change of hands, the very land itself might be transformed.
After exploding the head of the Divine Spirit Powerhouse from the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Demon Ape grinned coldly, swinging its iron chain once more.
Soon, another shriek echoed through the air.
Another Divine Spirit was flung away.
Again, the head exploded.
Seeing this, Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others felt a chill to the core.
“Yang Xiaotian, the Maha Divine Sect is willing to submit to you!” At that moment, an Ancestor of the Maha Divine Sect spoke in terror, “We are willing to help you surround and kill Wu Peng!”
