"Counter-attack! Fight to the death!"
"Counter-attack! Fight to the death!"
"Counter-attack! Fight to the death!"
The vast army roared with fervent indignation.
"This time, we shall first eliminate the Kaitian Sword Sect and the Huo family. After severing the Liu family's wings, our armies will converge on the Liu family and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Now, heed my command. I will temporarily store you away. In a few minutes, I will bring you to the territories of those two families. The Kuilian Sect and the Fang family will spearhead the attack on the Kaitian Sword Sect. The Yin Yang Sect and the Thunder Emperor Palace will spearhead the attack on the Huo family. This battle is an extermination war. I implore all of you to give your utmost."
"We obey the Alliance Leader's command!"
Everyone was stirred and filled with excitement.
Except for the people of the Thunder Emperor Palace, the other three factions harbored a deep-seated resentment.
When the demons descended, they went to intercept them, only to be defeated. If it weren't for Wan Lei's desperate destruction of the teleportation channel at that time, they would have all been annihilated by the demons.
The battle of the Thunder Emperor Palace had nothing to do with them; it was won by the people of the Thunder Emperor Palace.
Afterward, the Alliance Leader's forces were divided into countless small teams to enter the Liu family's territory to rescue civilians. During that time, there were both victories and defeats.
Then, in the great decisive battle of the Yin Yang Sect, they were so thoroughly beaten that they couldn't even lift their heads, suffering countless casualties.
Throughout these battles, their fellow disciples, family members, and friends, countless individuals, had died at the hands of the enemy.
Now, the time had finally come for a counter-attack, to annihilate the enemy in one go. How could they not be excited?
Alliance Leader Wan produced the Fate Controlling Diagram. The scroll, vast enough to blot out the sky, occupied more than half of the sky, and a majestic suction force emanated from it.
"Everyone, please enter."
Following Alliance Leader Wan's order, these fleets of war vessels entered the Fate Controlling Diagram in an orderly fashion.
After all the war vessels had entered, the tribulation-passing experts behind Wan Lei also entered in succession.
"Your subordinate wishes the Alliance Leader a triumphant return."
Xi Renjun bowed with clasped palms.
Wan Lei smiled faintly.
"We will."
Wan Lei put away the Fate Controlling Diagram, took Fang Xiaoyu's hand, and looked towards the south.
"Wife, this is the final battle."
"We have no choice but victory."
In Xi Renjun's eyes, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu suddenly vanished. Xi Renjun was stunned for a moment, and when he recovered his senses, the two of them had already shot out of the Thunder Emperor Palace's territory and entered the Kaitian Sword Sect's domain.
The territories of the nine major powers were fan-shaped, radiating from the central Thunder Emperor Palace. This meant that from the Thunder Emperor Palace, one could reach any of the other powers' territories without passing through any other faction's land.
To the southeast lay the Kaitian Sword Sect.
In just a few minutes, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu had already killed their way to the outer gates of the Kaitian Sword Sect.
The Kaitian Sword Sect was situated amidst a range of undulating high mountains. The peaks were extremely precipitous, with clouds and mist swirling around the mountainsides. The various peaks resembled sharp swords thrusting into the firmament, as if拔地而起.
Wan Lei opened the Fate Controlling Diagram and released the war vessels of the Kuilian Sect and the Fang family, along with their tribulation-passing elders. With five tribulation-passing experts and over two million troops, dealing with a sect that had no tribulation-passing experts and only a few remnants would not result in any unexpected occurrences.
The people of the Kaitian Sword Sect, upon seeing enemy war vessels suddenly appear in the sky, immediately descended into chaos. Some attempted to use their defensive fortifications to resist, while others scurried about wildly, trying to escape.
Wan Lei flew to the front of the sect-protecting grand formation and, in mere seconds, directly took control of it.
"I have control of the formation. Entry is permitted, but exit is forbidden. You may commence your attack."
"Understood!"
The tribulation-passing elders flew into the sky, commanding their armies to unleash fire from the spirit cannons on their war vessels, bombarding the area below.
At present, the enemy still had a considerable number of forces, and they were all trapped, unable to escape. Like cornered beasts, knowing their doom was certain, they would fight to the death, unleashing formidable combat prowess, even if it meant taking allied forces down with them.
In that scenario, the allied forces would likely suffer further casualties.
After all, in the previous great decisive battle of the Yin Yang Sect, the allied forces relied on their spirit of fighting to the death to staunchly resist the enemy forces.
Therefore, the current strategy was to bombard them from above first. After a portion of them were killed and their morale was broken, rendering them scattered and disorganized, the allied forces would then move in to harvest, minimizing casualties.
As the allied army began its bombardment, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu turned to depart.
Suddenly, Wan Lei stopped in his tracks. After a moment of thought, he took out the Fate Controlling Diagram again and released all the armies within.
The people of the Thunder Emperor Palace and the Yin Yang Sect were confused as to what was happening. According to the original plan, shouldn't they have accompanied Wan Lei to destroy the Huo family?
"Alliance Leader, the destruction of the Kaitian Sword Sect can be handled by the Fang family and the Kuilian Sect alone. There is no need for the fellow daoists from the Thunder Emperor Palace and the Yin Yang Sect to assist. Please escort them to eliminate the Huo family."
Fang Xiaohui flew over. Since the attack had not yet commenced, he was not in a hurry.
Wan Lei shook his head and smiled.
"Let them attack together with you. Having more people will increase our chances of success and minimize our casualties as much as possible.
As for the Huo family, leave them to Xiaoyu and me. We are more than capable of annihilating their entire clan.
Rest assured, we will not leave a single living soul from the Huo family behind."
With that, Wan Lei took Fang Xiaoyu's hand and vanished like a blur.
Fang Xiaohui and the other tribulation-passing elders watched the departing pair with stunned bewilderment. Anyone could discern the potent killing intent within Wan Lei's casual remark of "not leaving a single living soul."
"I recall the Alliance Leader mentioning that the young girl named Qi Manyao was killed by three young disciples from the Huo family, correct?"
Chen Manlian sighed.
Old Fang's gaze was profound as he said slowly,
"They are going to avenge her with their own hands. Perhaps, when Wan Lei learned that Qi Manyao was killed by members of the Huo family, the thought of personally eradicating the Huo family had already formed in his mind, but he simply didn't mention it to anyone."
"Could there be any danger?"
"Indeed, the people of the Huo family are in danger."
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu flew at full speed. From the Kaitian Sword Sect to the Huo family's territory, they did not pass through the Liu family's ancestral lands. However, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu still detoured southward, stopping outside the Liu family's domain.
"Shall we go in for a look?"
Fang Xiaoyu gazed at the boundless spatial blockade before them, its surface shimmering with flowing light. The situation within was completely obscured, bearing no difference to the conditions of the Wu Zhou and Dun San families.
Ever since Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu had mastered the Wind Blade Escape technique, such spatial blockades could no longer impede them. Yet, they had never had the time to visit those three families.
"No, if we go in now, I will be unable to restrain myself from unleashing a massacre. We cannot afford to have the Huo family learn of this and escape.
Since the demons are helping us seal off the Liu family, preventing anyone from escaping, there is no need for us to rush. After we annihilate the Huo family, we will concentrate our forces to deal with the Liu family and the demons together.
They are left with only remnants and a few demon marshals; they cannot stir up any major trouble."
