Chaos Palace.
Initially, Xu Rui was closing his eyes to recuperate. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and his expression changed. He stood up and shouted in a low voice, âJunior Sister Chen, Junior Brother Meng, Junior Brother Pan, there are people here!â
Chen Qianhe and Meng Shiâs hearts skipped a beat as they walked out of the straw huts one after another.
Pan Mu was already waiting outside his straw hut. When he saw Xu Rui and the other two coming out, he welcomed them hurriedly and said in a low voice, âIt should be Black Rat Sect!â
âHow many people came?â
Meng Shi asked hurriedly.
Xu Rui sensed it and said with a grim expression, âThere must be tens of thousands of them.â
Upon hearing that number, Chen Qianhe and Meng Shiâs hearts sank.
With such a huge commotion, it was clear that they had ill intentions. Chaos Palace would probably not be able to escape this calamity this time round!
âFellow disciples, weâre under attack. Be on guard!â
Xu Rui hollered.
The 3,000-odd people of Chaos Palace were jolted awake and headed out hurriedly. They gathered beside Xu Rui and the other three and looked into the distance in bewilderment.
At that moment, everyone could already sense the slight trembling from the ground!
Everyone felt a heavy pressure in their hearts.
âSenior Brother Xu, in my opinionâ¦â
Pan Mu frowned with a hesitant expression.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Xu Rui focused his attention on the black shadows that appeared on the mountain range not far away and asked casually.
Pan Mu sighed. âWhy donât we surrender?â
Pan Mu did not suppress his voice and everyone present heard him clearly.
The initially noisy crowd instantly fell silent.
Xu Rui, Meng Shi and Chen Qianhe turned around abruptly and looked at Pan Mu in disbelief.
âSurrender?â
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xu Rui clenched his fists and asked once more.
âWhat did you say?!â
Meng Shiâs temper flared even more as he hollered.
Pan Mu took two steps back and shook his head. âSenior Brother Xu, you know very well that even if we persevere, so what? We wonât be able to escape the fate of defeat in the end. How many people from Chaos Palace will survive in the end? Since thatâs the case, why be stubborn?â
âSo that means we should surrender to Black Rat Sect and be their slaves? Ptui!â
Meng Shi cursed.
Xu Rui laughed in anger. âEven if we surrender, can these people from Chaos Palace survive? Donât tell me you donât know the fate of our Flora race under these factions? Weâll be enslaved and driven for the rest of our lives without any dignity. Weâll become tools or even food!â
âOur lives are like grass in their eyes. Even if we submit, we wonât be able to escape death in the end.â
âHahahaha!â
A sharp laughter sounded. âIf you donât surrender, youâll die today!â
Before the laughter ended, seven figures had already descended above Chaos Palace. They were all Supremacies.
Two of them were Third Transformation Supremacies of the Dao Manifestation realm, three were Second Transformation Supremacies and two were First Transformation Supremacies.
Behind the seven Supremacies, tens of thousands of troops rushed over and created a sandstorm.
Xu Rui swept his gaze and looked at Pan Mu, saying in a deep voice, âJunior Brother Pan, there are only seven Supremacies on the other side. If the four of us join forces, we might stand a fighting chance!â
Pan Mu shook his head repeatedly and retreated gradually. âWe canât win.â
âThe wise recognize their circumstances.â
The Sect Master of Black Rat Sect in the middle smiled. âFellow Daoist Pan has long submitted and is already a member of our Black Rat Sect.â
âYou!â
Meng Shi glared angrily.
When Chen Qianhe heard that, she had a conflicted expression and could not believe it.
Pan Mu avoided the gazes of Xu Rui and the other two and said in a low voice, âI was waiting for you guys to return here because I wanted to fight for this opportunity for you and everyone else.â
âXu Rui, Sect Master has already cultivated to the peak of the Third Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm. He will dominate Baldachin State and is invincible across his peers. His title will be the Peerless Supremacy!â
âNot to mention that youâre already injured, even if youâre at your peak and there are ten of you, you wonât be a match for Sect Master.â
âFufu.â
Meng Shi sneered. âThere are 108 states in the Southeast Region. Just because heâs invincible among his peers in Baldachin State, he dares to call himself the Peerless Supremacy? How f*cking shameless!â
Meng Shi did not hold back with his ridicules and was not fearful of death at all.
âYouâre sharp-tongued. When you fall into the hands of my hubby, heâll definitely make you wish you were dead!â
A woman with heavy makeup stood beside the Sect Master of Black Rat Sect and hollered. From afar, one could smell the cosmetics on her body.
âAlright.â
The Sect Master of Black Rat Sect had a cold gaze. âToday, Iâll let you see the methods of the Peerless Supremacy!â
Before his sentence was finished, the Sect Master of Black Rat Sect had already arrived in front of Meng Shi. He extended his palm and his sharp nails flicked out, shimmering with a dark light as he grabbed towards the top of Meng Shiâs head!
The movement technique of the Sect Master of Black Rat Sect was extremely fast. There was a difference of two minor realms between the two parties and Meng Shi could not react in time.
âWatch out!â
Xu Ruiâs voice sounded in his ears.
Suddenly, Meng Shi felt himself being sent flying by a tremendous force. From the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Rui standing in his position and punching back, blocking the claw of the Sect Master of Black Rat Sect for him!
Shing!
Blood light appeared.
Xu Rui staggered a few steps back with blood dripping from the back of his handâhe had already been scratched by the Sect Master of Black Rat Sect.
Pfft!
Xu Ruiâs expression changed as he spat out a pool of blood.
In just one move, Xu Rui was already injured!
His injuries had yet to recover to begin with and now, it was even worse.
âYou canât even withstand a single blow.â
The Sect Master of Black Rat Sect sneered and swung his palm casually, his rat eyes flickering with disdain.
âSenior Brother Xu!â
Chen Qianhe and Meng Shi hurried to Xu Ruiâs side and shielded him.
âIâm fineâ¦â
Xu Rui forced a smile. Before he could finish, he suddenly felt dizzy and swayed, almost falling to the ground.
âDo you think my claw strike can be resolved so easily?â
The Sect Master of Black Rat Sect asked with a smile.
When Chen Qianhe saw the wound on the back of Xu Ruiâs hand, it was dark green and emitted a faint rancid smell. She could not help but exclaim, âThereâs poison!â
Xu Rui realized that as well and was in extreme despair. However, he did not show it on his face and merely looked at the Sect Master of Black Rat Sect coldly.
He knew that the difference between the two of them was indeed too great.
Even if he was at his peak, it would be difficult for him to fight against the Sect Master of Black Rat Sect.
Xu Rui surveyed his surroundings.
His gaze landed on everyone from Chaos Palace and he saw confused, terrified, afraid and cowardly facesâ¦
When he thought of the fates of Chen Qianhe, Meng Shi and the remaining 3,000-odd people of Chaos Palace after his death, he could not help but feel sorrowful.
The original Chaos Sanctuary had fallen to such a state today!
From today onwards, the Chaos Sanctuary will become a part of history forever, remaining an illusory legend.
âArenât you guys going to surrender?â
The Sect Master of Black Rat Sect was domineering.
âJust kill me!â
Chen Qianhe said sadly.
âThe Cycle of the Heavenly Dao shall prevail and there will be retribution! If the heavens are just, they will let the Flora race rise again. At that time, all of you with blood on your hands will definitely be punished!â
âHehehe!â
The Sect Master of Black Rat Sect cackled. âThe few of you are already on the verge of death and yet youâre concerned about the future of the Flora race? The Flora race no longer calls the shots in the Southeast Region!â
Meng Shi gritted his teeth. âNo matter what, itâs not your turn to rule the southeast!â
The Sect Master of Black Rat Sect sneered and said proudly, âLetâs not talk about anything else. At the very least, Iâm the one who calls the shots in this place right now!â
âNot necessarily.â
Right then, a voice sounded from the side. It was indifferent and calm.
