Chaotic Sword God

Everything had happened far too quickly. From Luo Mantian’s sneak attack to Gu Li and He Yidao’s combined attacks, all of it transpired in a split second. It did not even take a moment.

The three of them launched sudden sneak attacks when the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak was unprepared, so they immediately inflicted unimaginable injuries to him. These wounds were even life-threatening.

After all, whether it be Luo Mantian, Gu Li, or He Yidao, they were all Grand Primes. Every single strike from them was devastating, and they had struck the defenceless peak lord with terrifying power. The destructive impact of the attacks on the peak lord was evident.

Immediately, the lord of the Heaven’s Lord Peak, who was known as the greatest expert of the Cloud Plane, faced tremendous danger.

To another side, the expressions of Tong Wuming, Lieyan Wuji, and Zhou Zhidao suddenly changed. They stared at the sword in the peak lord and the fist that had collapsed his back as they felt like the world around them was spinning. They felt like the sky was collapsing.

At that moment, how could they not understand? Luo Mantian of the Godsfallen clan, He Yidao of the Daoist Sect of Emergence, and Gu Li of the Heavenquaking sect had all betrayed the Righteous Alliance.

Moreover, they had done so at such a critical moment, dealing a fatal strike to the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak while he was unaware.

“Luo Mantian, He Yidao, Gu Li, you all should die!” The ancestor of the Firegod clan, Lieyan Wuji, had always been the person with the shortest temper. Their betrayal had completely infuriated him. Flames suddenly surged from his body, sweeping through the entire region. It caused the space to constantly distort as the temperature there suddenly skyrocketed.

At that moment, the heat from Lieyan Wuji was thousands of times greater than the sun. The fire transformed into three dragons, directly charging towards Luo Mantian, He Yidao, and Gu Li.

At the same time, Tong Wuming and Zhou Zhidao struck out without any hesitation either. They both gave up on their original opponents and attacked the three of them from afar. At the same time, they quickly approached the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

However, as the space there had become unstable from their battle, their speed was inhibited, so they approached the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak rather slowly. They were nowhere near as fast as Luo Mantian and the others.

Otherwise, they would have been able to reach the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak in a single step.

The Gentle Breeze Ancestor, Zheng Hu, and Changfeng Yun stopped fighting as well. The twist with the Righteous Alliance had stunned the three of them. They stared at the people from the Righteous Alliance with their brows furrowed. They were rather puzzled.

Only Wu Lu and Gong Ji, who knew the inside story, were filled with vigor. They looked at the Righteous Alliance that had turned on themselves as they took joy in the whole matter.

“Gentle Breeze, what is happening?” Changyang Feng asked the Gentle Breeze Ancestor secretly. He was at a loss.

“Can’t you tell now? Luo Mantian, He Yidao, and Gu Li of the Righteous Alliance have all joined the young star lord,” said Gong Ji. At the same time, she tossed the jade talisman that the young star lord had given her to the three of them.

They caught the jade talisman and discovered that it did not contain a secret technique from the Star Brilliance Mountain at all. There was only a message from the young star lord, basically telling Gong Ji to cooperate with Luo Mantian to put on a show and get the peak experts of the Righteous Alliance to start fighting so that they could find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

The lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak was a peak Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime after all. He was more powerful than anyone else on the Cloud Plane. It was very difficult for regular sneak attacks to succeed. An opportunity would only present itself during the chaos of battle.

“I see,” Chengfeng Yun and Zheng Hu both came to a realisation. Immediately, their gazes towards the people of the Righteous Alliance changed. It was no longer as stern as before.

“From today onwards, the Righteous Alliance will cease to exist on the Cloud Plane,” Zheng Hu said in amazement. Out of the seven peak experts of the Righteous Alliance, three of them had switched sides. The only ones that remained were the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak, Tong Wuming, Lieyan Wuji, and Zhou Zhidao.

Moreover, the peak lord was heavily injured, so his strength was greatly inhibited.

On the other hand, their Four Symbols Alliance had gained three traitors, amounting to a total of eight people. They now possessed an absolute advantage.

“W- why do you do this…” The peak lord’s face was rather gloomy. Chunks of his skin had already changed in colour, but he paid no concern to his wounds. Instead, he looked at Luo Mantian, Gu Li, and He Yidao in great pain.

“The Righteous Alliance is done for. We only chose a path that would allow us to exist,” Gu Li said calmly. He showed no regret or shame at all. Instead, there was just coldness and indifference.

Afterwards, he and He Yidao immediately retreated, pulling far away from the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

They understood the strength of the peak lord extremely well. He was a supreme expert who could face the Heavenless Demon Exalt, a Grand Prime who had broken through to the Fourth Heavenly Layer, in battle. Even though he was heavily injured, he still posed a great threat to them.

At the same time, Lieyan Wuji’s three scorching dragons, condensed from the Laws of Fire, arrived and wrapped around the three of them.

“I’ll burn you three traitors to a crisp!” Lieyan Wuji called out. The Laws of Fire condensed in the surroundings, becoming more and more powerful.

Boom!

At this moment, a rumble rang out. Luo Mantian broke free from Lieyan Wuji’s flame dragon first, tearing it to pieces with terrifying energy. Afterwards, the dagger in his hand flew out, gently touching the dragons around He Yidao and Gu Li.

The fire dragons immediately weakened like deflating balloons before being torn to pieces by the two of them.

Immediately, the three of them broke free successfully.

However, aside from Luo Mantian, Gu Li and He Yidao were in sorry shape. Large areas of their skin had been charred, and their faces were blackened.

“Lieyan Wuji really is powerful. He really is a Second Heavenly Layer Grand Prime after all,” Gu Li glanced at his charred arm and murmured.

Among the three of them, only Luo Mantian was at the Second Heavenly Layer. He and He Yidao were both at the First Heavenly Layer. Naturally, they would struggle a little to fend off Lieyan Wuji’s furious attack.

“So what if he’s at the Second Heavenly Layer? He’ll be dead very soon,” He Yidao said calmly before arriving on the side of the Four Symbols Alliance with Gu Li and Luo Mantian. They stood there coldly.

Lieyan Wuji, Tong Wuming, and Zhou Zhidao did not chase them. Instead, they arrived at the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak’s side together. All of their faces were extremely ugly.

“It’s the power of a curse. Luo Mantian, y- y- you really are vicious,” Tong Wuming stared at the peak lord’s green skin and said in pain. He was furious.

He could tell with a single glance that the true wound that was fatal to the peak lord did not come from He Yidao and Gu Li but the power of a curse from Luo Mantian’s dagger.

The power of the curse was the greatest threat. It was like a venomous snake, constantly poisoning the peak lord such that his life force would be sapped away at every moment.

Compared to the power of the curse, the wounds that He Yidao and Gu Li caused were not very severe at all.

“The power of the curse is very powerful. I- it’s a curse from a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime at the very least,” Lieyan Wuji said extremely sternly.
