The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 679: Chapter 679: The Entire Army is Annihilated

Not only were outsiders unable to believe it, but even the Jing Family Disciples were stunned for a long time before they could come back to their senses.

Jing Chengye and others did know that before leaving, Jing Yan had set up three big arrays in Donglin City, with the purpose of protecting the family headquarters in Donglin City.

But before, they were not clear on the exact power of the formations that Jing Yan had set up.

Now, having witnessed with their own eyes the big array annihilating many Gu Family experts, they were undoubtedly extremely shocked.

Especially some of the younger members of the Jing Family, who clenched their fists with flushed faces, looking up at the sky.

Their admiration for Jing Yan had reached an indescribable level, so much so that even if Jing Yan asked them to die, they would do so without hesitation. At least, most of the Jing Family Disciples would not question Jing Yan’s orders.

Gu Xingshan and another Dix Peaks Cultivation Ancient Family Elder, frantically fled, using one life-saving measure after another.

However, under the coverage of the big array, their escape speed was severely slowed down.

Although the Attack Array wasn’t like the Trapping Array, which was specialized in binding and trapping Martial Artists, the Attack Array not only purely attacked—it also contained abilities to restrict the enemies’ escape.

For Gu Xingshan and the other Ancient Family Elder, the Attack Array also generated clusters of suction, making it impossible for them to increase their flying speed.

”Ah...”

”Damn it! Damn it... How could Donglin City have such a terrifying formation for protection?”

Both of the people from Gu Xingshan had gone crazy.

Their Primordial Energy was completely boiling, almost to the point of collapse. But because their speed was greatly restricted, the distance to escape from above Donglin City was still very far.

”Pfft!” Gu Xingshan finally couldn’t hold on any longer and was killed by the big array.

And the other Ancient Family Elder didn’t last much longer before being killed as well.

Thus, nearly thirty Gu Family Daoist Master Realm and Dao King Realm Martial Artists led by Gu Xingshan all perished within Donglin City. They had come ferociously, intending to annihilate the Jing Family, but in less than two hours, they all met their demise.

If they were given another chance to regret, they probably would not come to Donglin City at all.

”Clan Leader, clean up the battlefield. Those people from the Gu Family, being Daoist Master and Dao King Realm experts, must have plenty of resources on them,” Jing Tianying said, calming his emotions, to Clan Leader Jing Chengye.

”Good!” Jing Chengye waved his hand.

The Jing Family Elders immediately rushed out behind him, collecting the Sumeru Rings left behind by the fallen Gu Family experts.

Although the Sumeru Rings were scattered, and many even fell among the crowd outside, the Martial Artists of Donglin City who witnessed the entire Gu Family forces being wiped out didn’t dare to snatch these Sumeru Rings from the Jing Family.

They also knew that the Sumeru Rings must contain a great amount of resources, and getting just one would mean a fortune. But they didn’t have the guts.

A joke, to rob the resources of the Jing Family? That would be like pulling a tooth from a tiger’s mouth.

No matter how strong they were, could they be stronger than those Gu Family Experts? The Gu Family was annihilated here; if they made a move, the result would surely be that not only would they fail to obtain the resources, but they would also lose their lives.

The Jing Family needed to use the power of the big array to deal with the Gu Family Experts, but to deal with these Martial Artists, they didn’t even need the big array. Now the Jing Family had quite a number of Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists and even more Martial Artists in the Innate Realm, numbering in the hundreds.

At the same time, in the Ancient Family stronghold in Flowing Light City.

Ancient Family Patriarch Gu Jinlan once again came before the Ancestor Gu Wanquan.

”Ancestor, the order to annihilate the Jing Family has been conveyed to the family elder Gu Xingshan. By now, Elder Gu Xingshan should have already entered Donglin City and be slaughtering the Jing Family members,” Gu Jinlan reported reverently with his head lowered.

”Hmm.” Gu Wanquan nodded expressionlessly.

”Other than Jing Yan, the rest of the Jing Family are not worth mentioning. However, since there are quite a few Jing Family members, it might take Elder Gu Xingshan some time to kill them all,” Gu Jinlan continued.

”There’s no rush with this; let Gu Xingshan be thorough. Anyone from the Jing Family must not be spared. Even those ordinary Jing Family members who are not Martial Artists can’t be left alive. I want that Jing Yan to experience the taste of having his close ones completely eradicated. That little bastard!” Gu Wanquan said with a cold voice tinged with anger.

”Yes!” Gu Jinlan nodded in response.

Then, he hesitated before adding, ”Ancestor, won’t this have too big of an impact? Together, there are tens of thousands of Jing Family members. The vast majority of them are in Donglin City, with only about a tenth in Lanqu County City.”

Gu Jinlan wasn’t feeling sorry for the Jing Family.

To become the Ancient Family Patriarch, Gu Jinlan was a man whose methods needed no explanation. Such a man’s hands were already stained with blood, and it didn’t matter to him whether it was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people killed—it wasn’t significant.

His hesitation was regarding the stance of the Holy City.

More than a decade ago, the reason the Ancient Family didn’t confront the Jing Family openly and directly eradicated them was because of warnings from the Holy City.

Now, with the Ancient Family’s actions, the Holy City would definitely be displeased.

”Jin Lan, what are you trying to say?” Gu Wanquan narrowed his eyes at Clan Leader Gu Jinlan.

”Ancestor, I’m worried that the Holy Master of the Holy City will seize this opportunity to make things difficult for our Ancient Family,” Gu Jinlan said. As the current Clan Leader of the Ancient Family, while not willing to oppose Gu Wanquan, he was not unable to express his own views before Gu Wanquan.

”Hmph, I want to see what the Holy Master can say after the Jing Family is eradicated!”

”That little beast Jing Yan killed two of our Ancient Family candidates for the patriarch and a Daoist Elder in the Emperor Realm, and this is well-known to their Holy Master. So what if the Gu Family eradicates the Jing Family?” Gu Wanquan snorted coldly.

Gu Jinlan didn’t dare to say more, but he was still somewhat worried in his heart. Regardless, the Holy Master was the one who controlled the Heavenly Origin Continent. If the Holy Master got angry, the pressure on the Ancient Family would be great.

”Jin Lan, you don’t need to think too much, just do your own work well. Also, once the Jing Family in Donglin City is destroyed, you must immediately pass on the news to those families, so they are aware. Right, also to the Holy City—the news must also be conveyed there,” Gu Wanquan said with a chilling look in his eyes.

”Yes!” Gu Jinlan responded.

He understood that the ’few families’ the Ancestor mentioned were the other six families among the Seven Great Families.

Several hours later!

”What’s going on? Why has there been no news from Donglin City?” Gu Jinlan frowned, glanced at the sky, and muttered softly to himself.

However, he didn’t think too much of it. The number of Jing Family members was indeed too large; perhaps Elder Gu Xingshan planned to eliminate all the Jing Family Disciples in Donglin City before sending any news back.
