In front of the Cloud Mountain Sect's gate.
The approaching forces of the Saber Sect were routed like a collapsing mountain.
The two strongest individuals were either heavily injured and lying on the ground, or directly taken away by Chu Fan.
Despite their overall strength surpassing that of the Cloud Mountain Sect, no one dared to make any further moves. They stood frozen in place, as if awaiting judgment.
Five minutes later.
Chu Fan returned alone.
He walked directly to Gong Wenshan.
Their eyes met, and sensing the chilling aura emanating from Chu Fan, Gong Wenshan was utterly panicked.
He knew that Kuang Fengshuang, who had been taken away and his whereabouts unknown, was likely already dead.
No one wanted to die.
To save his life, Gong Wenshan instinctively blurted out, "You can't kill me, I am..."
*Crack...*
Before Gong Wenshan could finish his sentence, Chu Fan stomped on his chest, his entire foot sinking in.
Gong Wenshan's eyes bulged wide, his bloodshot eyes filled with intense resentment, blood continuously gushing from his mouth.
Everyone around was chilled to the bone.
A Grandmaster of the second tier was stomped to death like this.
A powerful figure, under Chu Fan's feet, was like an insect.
His strength was unimaginably formidable.
His ruthlessness was without hesitation.
After dealing with Gong Wenshan, Chu Fan's icy gaze swept over the remaining Saber Sect personnel.
He suddenly extended his hand, and a long saber at his feet automatically sprang up, landing in his grasp.
Flee!
Realizing that Chu Fan was about to unleash a massacre, the Saber Sect members began to flee in panic.
However, facing a devil god with killing intent, all struggles were in vain.
Liu Yunqing and others from the Cloud Mountain Sect felt their bodies go cold and weak as screams echoed with a head falling to the ground in each instance.
Even Liu Yunqing, only at this moment, truly witnessed Chu Fan's terror.
He imagined that if it were him, he would find it difficult to slaughter with such ferocity as Chu Fan.
He couldn't comprehend how Chu Fan's killing intent could be so heavy; even as the pursued Saber Sect members knelt and begged for mercy, they were met with a cold glint.
In less than a minute, all the personnel from the Saber Sect who had come were dead.
The strong scent of blood caused some of the newer recruits to the Cloud Mountain Sect to vomit on the spot.
Chu Fan returned to Liu Yunqing's side and asked calmly, "Do you know where the Saber Sect is located?"
"I... I do!"
Liu Yunqing, as the Sect Master and the one who had interacted with Chu Fan the longest, was unable to control his trembling as he spoke.
"Take me there!"
"Alright!"
Facing the devil god's demand, Liu Yunqing dared not hesitate and immediately set off to personally lead Chu Fan to the Saber Sect.
All those still standing knew that the Saber Sect had brought great misfortune upon themselves by provoking Chu Fan.
They believed it wouldn't be long before news spread of the Saber Sect's destruction.
The Sect Master of the Saber Sect was only a Grandmaster of the third tier.
Two Grandmasters of the second tier couldn't even harm Chu Fan, yet they were easily killed by him like chickens and fish. It was obvious that a Grandmaster of the third tier would also be nothing.
"Clean up the scene!"
With the Sect Master absent, Qi Shan stepped forward to issue orders, instructing the Cloud Mountain Sect members to deal with the corpses scattered everywhere.
Although the incident had passed, as they cleaned the scene, Qi Shan and the others couldn't help but recall the massacre they had just witnessed, their hands trembling and their scalps tingling.
After the scene was cleaned up, the main members of the Cloud Mountain Sect reconvened in the meeting hall to discuss renaming the Cloud Mountain Sect once Liu Yunqing and Chu Fan returned.
Meanwhile, other factions that had been observing from the surroundings, as if they had seen a ghost, fled in haste.
With the entire contingent from the Saber Sect who had come to the Cloud Mountain Sect annihilated, who else would dare to come and seek death?
The Saber Sect was a considerable distance from the Cloud Mountain Sect. Liu Yunqing first took Chu Fan to the town outside the mountain, then to the Cloud Mountain Sect's outpost, and personally drove him towards the Saber Sect.
Along the way, Chu Fan stared absently at the pendant he had retrieved from Kuang Fengshuang.
He remained silent, creating a tense atmosphere.
Liu Yunqing, who was driving, stole glances at Chu Fan from time to time, his heart filled with emotion.
He didn't know the origin of the pendant, only that it was clearly very important to Chu Fan.
Life was unpredictable.
Who would have thought that the Saber Sect would face utter destruction because of a pendant?
Thinking of the Saber Sect's impending fate, Liu Yunqing's emotions grew even more profound.
He couldn't imagine how much more brutal the upcoming slaughter would be.
Little did he know, Chu Fan had never liked slaughter.
However, for daring to harm his mother, he would not let anyone go.
During the interrogation of Kuang Fengshuang, he had initially been unwilling to speak, but facing a devil god, he had no choice.
The facts were much as he had suspected.
When Qin Yu left Shanhai City and traveled south, passing near the Saber Sect, her trace was discovered.
Tu Gang, the Sect Master of the Saber Sect, personally led people to intercept her.
Although he couldn't capture his mother completely, he did inflict significant injuries on her. The pendant fell during the fight.
Kuang Fengshuang picked it up and wore it, thinking the jade was of good quality.
He never imagined that a single glance at the ground would bring him death.
According to Kuang Fengshuang's description, they had intercepted Qin Yu under the orders of their Sect Master Tu Gang and did not know her identity.
Tu Gang, evidently, had also been following someone else's orders.
Therefore, Chu Fan's journey to the Saber Sect was not only to deal with Tu Gang but also to find out from him who had ordered him to do so in the first place.
In the age of the internet, news travels at lightning speed.
Although the Saber Sect's personnel who went to the Cloud Mountain Sect were all annihilated, there were other factions nearby.
Seeing Chu Fan and Liu Yunqing leave the Cloud Mountain Sect, they deduced that the two were likely heading towards the Saber Sect.
Thus, before Chu Fan and Liu Yunqing had even reached their destination, Tu Gang of the Saber Sect had already learned of the loss of his forces.
Even as a Grandmaster of the third tier, upon hearing that his left and right deputy sect masters had been killed and the rest of his personnel could not escape death, Tu Gang was stunned and remained frozen for nearly a minute before regaining his senses.
He didn't know who this opponent was and how his strength could be so formidable.
He also didn't understand why the Saber Sect, which had only sought what the Cloud Mountain Sect obtained from the secret realm, would attract such a fatal disaster.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Cloud Mountain Sect refused to hand over what they obtained from the secret realm, they shouldn't have resorted to such deadly measures.
After all, the forces led by Kuang Fengshuang were the main strength of the Saber Sect.
Currently, other than Tu Gang, the Sect Master, no one else in the Saber Sect was presentable.
Knowing that escape was impossible, Tu Gang, despite his premonition that he was no match for Chu Fan, gathered his forces to prepare for a desperate struggle.
Therefore, when Liu Yunqing brought Chu Fan to the entrance of the Saber Sect.
A large number of people were already standing in front.
To instill fighting spirit in his sect members, Tu Gang did not inform them that Gong Wenshan and the others were already dead. He merely said that a powerful enemy was approaching and to fight with all their might.
"That is Tu Gang, the Sect Master of the Saber Sect!"
Liu Yunqing introduced him to Chu Fan, his gaze sweeping past the crowd.
"You all stay here!"
Chu Fan coldly uttered these words and walked forward.
"Kill!"
Tu Gang roared, and everyone immediately charged towards Chu Fan.
