Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Unable to Resist
Is the secret of the Chaotic City held in the hands of those elders who wail and howl like ghosts?
Hearing Elder Ghost Howl’s words, everyone turned to Di Hai, who was locked in a fierce duel with Tianxing.
After all, they weren’t fools. Even if they hadn’t been considered by Elder Ghost Howl before, when such wails were invoked, it was impossible for them not to suspect Di Hai—why would he, the king of Chaotic Capital, suddenly leave Endless Sea, step onto land, and represent Divine Sword Sect in Dabie Mountain?
There must be an unknown secret!
Left to fate, left to fate—the sarcastic remarks flew instantly, mocking Elder Ghost Howl. Truly befitting the wit of the Ghost King Sect.
At this moment, the ghostly shadow handed the elder over to Yang Tian. To Xiang Tianhang, it was clear that Di Hai was bound to be affected. At this very moment, Di Hai was caught in an agonizing dilemma!
On the path back to rescue Yang Tian, he naturally wouldn’t agree to align with Xiang Tianhang. He could even exploit a flaw to decisively defeat Di Hai!
But if he didn’t act, the secret of the Chaotic City would inevitably be exposed, striking directly at the heart of Di Hai!
Thinking this through, Xiang Tianhang immediately accelerated the attacks from his hands, sneering as he provoked Di Hai with his words: "Oh heavens, look at this situation—surely you didn’t foresee this outcome, did you? Are you even truly saving the child?"
"Save?"
Upon hearing Xiang Tianhang’s words, Di Hai burst into laughter.
Who is Yang Tian?
He is the absolute head of devils, one who devours demons, walks the path of devil ancestors, and is destined to become sanctified by their ancestors!
Su Youu merely wielded the magic weapon gifted by Yang Tian to slay Elder Ghost Howl in the early stages of the robbery, forcing Elder Ghost Howl to flee!
If Yang Tian himself were to act, in Di Hai’s view, not to mention Elder Ghost Howl—even the Ghost King Sect Clan Leader Tianxing would likely be unable to withstand him!
Di Hai laughed immediately, saying, "Go to heaven, go to heaven! You still don’t understand what this king means. God respects him but refrains from descending to this stage because you are unworthy to face him as an opponent. Does Ghost Howl truly wish to disrupt heaven at this moment? You’re marching toward your death!"
Di Hai, however, showed no emotion. He accelerated the attacks from his hands once again, engaging Tianxing in another clash.
Just like that, Di Hai forced Tianxing to swallow his sarcastic remarks down, choking on them in his throat and leaving him unable to speak!
Is Yang Tian not the puppet pushed forward by Di Hai?
Can Elder Ghost Howl, as an elder of the Ghost King Sect, truly not defeat him?
What exactly did Di Hai mean by what he said earlier?
Why does he not seem worried at all?
Does Yang Tian not know Di Hai’s secrets?
Suddenly, in the midst of his swirling thoughts, a gentle sound emanated from Shenjian Gate, pulling him into the depths of memory.
As he stared outward, he could barely focus on the scene before him.
Because Elder Ghost Howl was wielding a top-tier magic weapon-level Ghost Head Blade, ready to execute a vicious slash directed at Yang Tian!
Yet as the ghost’s attack descended upon Yang Tian, the elder showed no signs of panic. Yang Tian didn’t even flinch—not a single twitch from his seated form, as motionless as a corpse on a throne.
Instead, Yang Tian reached out with a cold expression, extending a single palm to catch Ghost Head Blade in his hand.
"This... this... this..."
Standing beside Elder Ghost Howl, he stared at Yang Tian who effortlessly held off the blade with just one hand, looking completely stupefied!
You must understand, even though Ghost Head Blade was no match for the mightiest magic weapons in Su Youu’s possession, it was nonetheless a weapon no ordinary child could possibly block!
Furthermore, Yang Tian didn’t employ any defensive techniques—he merely relied on his bare palm to stop the strike. What kind of physical defense was this?
Could this be the capability of early-stage Divine Separation cultivators?
To Elder Ghost Howl, it was utterly miraculous, prompting him to involuntarily exclaim, "You... are you a ghost?"
"A human ghost?"
Yang Tian gripped Ghost Head Blade in one hand while with the other, he casually gestured in front of him.
Su Youu’s blade let out a crisp chime as it slipped loose from Su Youu’s grasp, tracing an arc through the air before landing in Yang Tian’s palm.
"This grandson is a devil!"
With a faint smile, Yang Tian softly declared, "Take it—one slash!"
The sweeping cut of the blade through the air was devastatingly clean. Elder Ghost Howl’s neck was severed, his body sliced in half alongside Yuan Ying by the second swing!
Witnessing such a terrifying strike, Tuoba Wenqing, the master of Lingtian Sect, was stunned.
Jinling Fairy, the gatekeeper of Golden Acacia Sect, was dumbfounded.
Saint Ruan Xingyue of Wanhua Valley was speechless.
Lu Haisheng, the master of Mad Saber Sect, and Hee Qidao, the elder, were shocked to their core.
As for the leaders and elders of the other sects—they...
Boom!
With the thunderous roar from Divine Arrow Sect’s grounds, the surrounding area erupted in dazzling brilliance.
Amid such luminance, the mournful cries were innumerable, leaving people unable to distinguish if they were the wails of Yang Tian, the unleashed evil spirits, or the devoured souls.
But regardless, everyone was filled with dread, their faces pale.
Because what they saw was this: as light engulfed the surroundings, everything touched by it seemed to be obliterated, disintegrating into nothingness until it was completely gone!
"Juan, how are you?!"
Staring at the terrifying light that covered nearly half the venue and consumed anyone within its reach, turning them into nothingness akin to decomposition, Hee Qitao cried bitterly, tearing his heart out as he tried to rush forward.
Yet Lu Haisheng held him back firmly, his tone indifferent as he said, "This sect master once said: From the moment Divine Sword Sect provoked Ghost Sect King, its destruction was inevitable. No one can undo this, nor save it!"
"But..."
Hee Qitao struggled desperately against Lu Haisheng’s hold, shifting his gaze toward Lingtian Sect, Hehuan Sect, and even Wanhua Valley.
From the expressions of Tuoba Wenqing, Jinling Fairy, and Ruan Xingyue, it became clear they shared the same conviction as Lu Haisheng.
At this moment, in the eyes of the masters of the four sects and one valley, the fall of Divine Sword Sect was absolute!
"Hahaha! Kill! Finally, this grandson has finished him off!"
As the mournful cries faded under the hazy, gray light, Xiang Tianhang burst into laughter before turning a venomous glare toward Di Hai and Su Youu, proclaiming, "The next ones are you! Whoever dares offend my Ghost King, dies without question!"
His words sent a wave of silence across the crowd.
Though Di Hai had fought Tianxing for a long time, his strength was evidently robust.
But this was not the path to heaven!
If Xiang Tianhang were to employ Soul Burial techniques against Di Hai at this moment, it was doubtful Di Hai could resist!
The result would be total destruction—the annihilation of Divine Sword Sect’s leader alongside the sect itself.
Indeed, with so many slain elders of Ghost King Sect, there was no chance of mercy being shown toward Ghost King’s Sect Master Tianxing or the Second Leader of Reality as well.
Yet to everyone’s astonishment, neither Di Hai nor Su Youu showed any hint of panic on their faces.
"Heaven will not die!"
Su Youu coldly countered Xiang Tianhang’s remarks with resolute determination.
For Yang Tian had brought him too many miracles and impossibilities!
From that point, in Su Youu’s heart, Yang Tian had become a being equal to God.
As for Di Hai, he ignored Tianxing entirely, replying flippantly, "Tianxing, I advise you to think about how you’ll endure heaven’s wrath in the future."
Heaven’s wrath?
