War God Long Ao

"Hahaha, Ao Shichong, no matter how you try to spin it, Long Ao is a dead man today."

As he spoke, Guan Hang shot toward Long Ao. The power of an Earth Venerable was immense; with his current strength, Long Ao stood no chance against him.

But before Long Ao could dodge, Ao Shichong made his move. The two Earth Venerable Martial Artists clashed in an instant, their battle shaking the heavens and the earth. The sheer force of their auras was enough to send many Martial Artists scrambling back in terror.

"Ao Shichong, this means war between my Blood Sea Sect and your Ghost King Sect! We will not rest until one of us is destroyed."

"Hahaha, bring it on whenever you like."

He completely ignored Guan Hang's threat. After all, the Ghost King Sect's power was plain to see. So what if they provoked the Blood Sea Sect? 'Even without this business with Long Ao, the Ghost King Sect and the Blood Sea Sect were destined to go to war anyway,' Ao Shichong knew.

Long Ao had killed ten Venerables and one Supreme Venerable, dealing a crippling blow to the Blood Sea Sect's strength. Though they had temporarily withdrawn from the struggle for dominance, the Ghost King Sect wasn't foolish. Once the Blood Sea Sect recovered, they would undoubtedly stage a comeback.

The Blood Sea Sect would always be their greatest threat.

'They would have to face the Blood Sea Sect in a battle to the death eventually. Since that's the case, why not act now? Why wait until the Blood Sea Sect has regained its strength?'

'This was exactly why he had decided to kill Guan Hang. Then, the Ghost King Sect could ally with the other Four Great Sects to deal with the Blood Sea Sect together. He was confident the Blood Sea Sect wouldn't last long.'

Of course, Guan Hang knew exactly what Ao Shichong was thinking.

'They'd had a chance to contend for control of the Celestial State. But because of one wrong decision by Guan Feng, the Blood Sea Sect was now on the back foot, cornered from all sides.'

'Guan Hang knew he had to kill Long Ao and deal with the Ghost King Sect. Otherwise, the Blood Sea Sect would be in grave danger.'

The battle between the two Earth Venerables raged from the ground into the sky, a spectacular exchange of blows.

Long Ao paid no attention to their fight. Instead, he charged toward the two remaining Supreme Venerables. His intentions were perfectly clear.

Seeing Long Ao's move, everyone was utterly speechless.

The Blood Sea Sect's own ancestor, the Earth Venerable Martial Artist Guan Hang, had already made a move to kill him. If the Ghost King Sect's ancestor hadn't intervened, Long Ao would surely be dead by now.

The two Earth Venerables were finally occupied, giving him a perfect chance to escape the Blood Sea Sect. But not only did Long Ao not take it, he actively attacked the two Supreme Venerables. In everyone's eyes, his actions were outrageously arrogant.

Under normal circumstances, Long Ao wouldn't be a match for even one Supreme Venerable, let alone two.

But the current situation was entirely different.

Long Ao had instantly killed Guan Feng, and the two Supreme Venerables were already scared witless. Without even needing to fight, they had already concluded that Long Ao was stronger than them. Even if he couldn't kill them in a single blow, he could definitely finish them off within ten moves.

Of course, the two Supreme Venerables feared death. That was precisely why they didn't dare to face Long Ao head-on.

But Long Ao clearly had no intention of giving the Blood Sea Sect a chance to make a comeback. He had an Earth Venerable from the Ghost King Sect on his side—a rare opportunity. If Guan Hang and the remaining two Supreme Venerables were killed, the Blood Sea Sect would truly be finished.

'Thinking of this, Long Ao decided to bet everything on this one move and kill the two Supreme Venerables.'

To outsiders, Long Ao's actions seemed reckless and suicidal. But in the eyes of Dugu Bai and Xia Jun, he was clearly acting with full confidence. Otherwise, he would never be so audacious.

Before this, everyone had assumed Long Ao was courting death by wreaking havoc in the Blood Sea Sect. But what was the outcome?

Long Ao had successfully turned the tables. Though no one knew exactly how he'd done it, the fact remained that he had. Not only did he slay ten of the Blood Sea Sect's Venerables, but he even killed one of their Supreme Venerables. Such a feat was enough to make him a legend in all of Kyushu.

Long Ao was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the two Supreme Venerables.

"Long Ao, what do you think you're doing?"

The question was almost laughable, but under the circumstances, no one dared to laugh. They all stared dumbly at Long Ao, waiting to see what he would do.

Everyone knew Long Ao wanted to kill the two Supreme Venerables, but they were still filled with anticipation. After all, Long Ao was only a Venerable. Could he really kill two Supreme Venerables by himself?

"Long Ao, you dare!"

Guan Hang, still locked in battle with Ao Shichong, saw Long Ao intercept the two Supreme Venerables. His expression changed drastically as a thought occurred to him. He didn't want to believe it, but he knew with certainty that Long Ao was capable of it.

An ordinary person wouldn't even dare to set foot in the Blood Sea Sect, let alone kill two Supreme Venerables.

But Long Ao?

Not only had he stormed the Blood Sea Sect alone, but he had single-handedly killed ten Venerables and one Supreme Venerable. With a temper that explosive, he was more than capable of hunting down the last two Supreme Venerables.

Tangled up with Ao Shichong, Guan Hang was utterly furious. The Blood Sea Sect couldn't afford to lose two more Supreme Venerables. Otherwise, he'd be the only commander left with no army.

But Long Ao ignored Guan Hang and struck. 'This time, it has to be a single, decisive blow,' he thought. 'If the two Supreme Venerables see through my plan, I'll be in deep trouble.'

'I still have two drops of the Fire Qilin's Life Essence Blood left. As long as I can land a clean hit, I can definitely kill both of them.'

Normally, the two Supreme Venerables would have been on full alert. But now, their state of mind had changed. As they tried to dodge, Long Ao's Soul Attack struck them, smoothly invading their own souls.

Two bloodcurdling screams rang out. Before anyone could process what had just happened, the two Supreme Venerables collapsed.

'He killed two Supreme Venerables in a single move?'

Staring blankly at the corpses on the ground, everyone was stunned. Long Ao's power was too terrifying. He could kill one Supreme Venerable in a single move, and now he had even killed two at once. With that kind of strength, didn't that mean he was unmatched among all Supreme Venerables?

"Long Ao, I'll kill you!"

To have two Supreme Venerables killed right under his nose was an utter disgrace. If he couldn't kill Long Ao, Guan Hang might as well commit suicide. To continue living after this would be a complete embarrassment.

But Ao Shichong gave Guan Hang no such opportunity, keeping him completely tied down. A Second Level Earth Venerable was far stronger than a First Level Earth Venerable. And that was with Ao Shichong holding back; otherwise, whether Guan Hang would live or die would be an open question.

"Ao Shichong, I'll fucking kill you!"

"Hahaha, you and what army? Guan Hang, all of your Blood Sea Sect's masters have been slaughtered. From this day forward, there will be no Blood Sea Sect in the Celestial State."

The members of the Five Great Sects felt no joy upon hearing this. As everyone knew, the Blood Sea Sect still had an Earth Venerable. As long as Guan Hang lived, the Blood Sea Sect would not be extinguished. Sooner or later, they would rise again. After all, a single Earth Venerable was worth more than three Supreme Venerables and ten Venerables combined.
