Chapter 362: The Battle for Domination of the Chu Yun Empire!
Chapter 362: The Battle for Domination of the Chu Yun Empire!
"Hahaha! Hua An, your arrogance knows no bounds! Do you really think that by destroying the small Ten Thousand Poison Sect, you can declare yourself invincible?"
Just after Hua An announced the fall of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, a wildly arrogant laugh echoed from the foot of the mountain.
The Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s gates were now heavily guarded by the Demon Poison Sect’s disciples, making it nearly impossible for even a bird to slip through. Yet, the owner of that voice appeared without anyone noticing, clearly a powerful individual.
"What kind of lowlife dares to act so brazenly here!"
Right after the voice faded, Huang Dashan immediately flew to a high vantage point to observe.
In his sight, three figures with Dou Qi wings were slowly flying toward the square. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a sullen expression and dressed in luxurious robes, followed closely by two elders.
"Three Dou Emperors!"
Sensing the aura exuding from the trio, Hua An’s face instantly changed, and he quickly shouted toward Huang Dahai, "Dahai, retreat now!"
However, just as Hua An warned him, the middle-aged man leading the group flashed in front of Huang Dahai and gently lifted his foot, kicking Huang Dahai's large belly.
"Boom!"
Before Huang Dahai could react, he plummeted from the sky, crashing hard onto the square.
"Dahai!"
Seeing that Huang Dahai had taken a blow, Hua An hurriedly flashed to his side, checking his injuries with concern.
"Master..." Huang Dahai struggled to speak, blood gushing from his mouth once again.
"That was just a little punishment for his rude words!" the middle-aged man who had struck him mocked nonchalantly.
After inspecting Huang Dahai’s injuries, Hua An’s expression turned grim. He could clearly feel that this middle-aged man’s strength surpassed his own, and with two other Dou Emperors backing him, Hua An knew that it was not wise to attack directly.
"Who are you, and why have you come here today?" Hua An asked in a deep voice.
"Hehe, I am Xie Shan, the sect master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!" the middle-aged man replied with a light chuckle.
"Xie Shan! The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!"
Hearing the man’s response, Hua An quickly recalled information in his mind.
The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had once been the most powerful sect in the Chu Yun Empire long ago, though it had fallen into decline for many years. Its disciples had always acted quietly and kept a low profile. Yet today, they had managed to bring forth a lineup of three Dou Emperors.
"I’ve come here today to claim the territory of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect!" Xie Shan continued, his intentions clear.
Furious, Hua An responded, "Claim the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s territory? Do you not know that we, the Demon Poison Sect, have already taken over this sect?"
"Hehe, Sect Master Hua, it seems you still don’t understand the situation. With Liu Rulong dead and you, Hua An, having lost an arm, there are few forces left in the Chu Yun Empire capable of standing against my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!" Xie Shan sneered, his voice cold and confident.
Hua An signaled for the others to take Huang Dahai away for treatment before standing up, fury in his eyes. "It seems you don’t just want the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. You plan to wipe out my Demon Poison Sect as well!"
"Indeed, Sect Master Hua. You’re a smart man. With both the Demon Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s elite gathered here today, it saves me the trouble of hunting you down one by one!"
Xie Shan made his intentions perfectly clear—he aimed to dominate the Chu Yun Empire.
Before the elders and disciples of the Demon Poison Sect could react, sudden screams erupted from the foot of the mountain.
"Sect Master, something terrible has happened! A massive magical beast is approaching, and a group of unknown individuals has surrounded the entrance at the mountain’s base," a Demon Poison Sect elder hurriedly reported as he rushed forward.
Hearing this, Hua An finally realized that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had come fully prepared for today’s confrontation.
In the next moment, behind Xie Shan and his group, a massive creature appeared, hovering in the sky.
At a glance, it seemed to be a gigantic scorpion, dozens of meters long. The enormous scorpion had four pairs of giant wings on its back, and its hairy, pitch-black legs towered in the sky. The legs were covered in sharp, serrated edges, each as long as a human thigh, glinting with a faint purple light. Its scorpion tail, nearly as long as its body, swayed menacingly, with a sharp stinger at the tip glistening with a cold gleam. The sudden appearance of this giant scorpion instantly drew the attention of everyone present. Those lacking strength unconsciously stepped back in fear.
When Hua An saw this creature, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, "Four-Winged Sky Demon Scorpion! A sixth-rank magical beast!"
"You have good eyes, Sect Master Hua. Now listen up, all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and Demon Poison Sect: if you don't wish to die, surrender to my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect early. We will not treat you unfairly," Xie Shan said with even more arrogance after summoning the Four-Winged Sky Demon Scorpion.
Hearing Xie Shan's words, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, who had just surrendered to the Demon Poison Sect, instantly turned their backs and joined the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
At this moment, the entire Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s stronghold was not only overwhelmed by the superior strength of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect but also outnumbered as more disciples defected.
"All Demon Poison Sect disciples, break through with me! We will avenge today’s defeat another day!" Hua An shouted, even though the situation was dire. Refusing to surrender, he gave the order, and nearly ninety percent of the Demon Poison Sect disciples and elders began to charge down the mountain.
"Foolish resistance!"
Seeing Hua An’s defiance, Xie Shan’s previously calm expression was now tinged with anger.
In a flash, Xie Shan moved to intercept Hua An.
Meanwhile, the two elders following Xie Shan took action against the elders of the Demon Poison Sect.
The two Dou Emperor powerhouses faced off against a group of Dou Kings, and it was an absolute massacre. In mere moments, casualties began to pile up among the Demon Poison Sect.
Witnessing this, Hua An, who was rushing to escape, turned back to help. But as soon as he moved, Xie Shan blocked his path, swiftly swinging a blue rod with a pungent scent directly at Hua An’s head.
In his hurried defense, Hua An’s single arm produced a rod-shaped weapon. Ever since his battle with Old Monster Liu, where he lost his arm, he had given up his silver spear.
The two rods clashed violently in midair, sparks flying as a strange, cold poison gas spread from the blue rod. Hua An’s arm went numb, and he quickly retreated.
"Haha! To be able to withstand my strike with your strength as a Seven-Star Dou Emperor, you're not bad!"
