Chapter 82: The Divine Slaughter Sect
Chapter 82: The Divine Slaughter Sect
"Or perhaps—"
"I should refine a hundred martial arts and create a truly perfect martial art!"
A divine light flashed in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
Throughout history, no martial art had appeared out of thin air; all were created by predecessors.
If they could create them, why couldn’t he?
"In this world, martial arts are in decline, and sorcerers are held in high esteem. Therefore, the martial arts of this world are all flawed and cannot achieve true perfection. Even the powerful Five Viscera Canon is not truly flawless. If it were, the cultivation of the Mystic Jade Mirror would not bring about any changes!"
Of course, the main reason was that the martial arts of this world were inherently flawed. For ordinary people, reaching the peak of Grand Master was the limit, and it was rare to see a Supreme Grand Master in a hundred years. If he were to reach the Grand Master or Supreme Grand Master level, he would always have to blaze his own trail. Using enhancement points to break limits required too much consumption. If he could create his own martial art, he could save a lot of resources.
However, there was another reason. Gu Qingfeng also had the idea of reviving the martial arts of this world.
"They say that martial artists are inferior to sorcerers!"
"But I, Gu Qingfeng, refuse to believe that..."
Gu Qingfeng’s expression became resolute. To create such a martial art, he would need to truly refine a hundred martial arts. Only by being flawless himself could he create a truly flawless martial art. But he wasn’t at that stage yet.

Night fell, and the ancient city lost some of its daytime bustle. Suddenly, flames shot into the sky, piercing the night with their intense light, accompanied by fierce battle cries, shattering the city’s peaceful atmosphere.
"Sky Eagle Gang, Vermilion Bird Gang, you dare to invade the Divine Slaughter Sect? You are courting death!"
In the Divine Slaughter Sect, Sect Leader Luo Yi’s face was filled with anger. With a hand the size of a fan, he struck out, instantly reducing a Sky Eagle Gang Blood Refinement Realm martial artist to a pile of shattered flesh.
At that moment, two powerful gusts of wind attacked, causing Luo Yi to become serious. He swiftly struck out with both hands, colliding with the attackers.
The three forces clashed, and Luo Yi’s body trembled as he took three steps back, each step leaving a clear imprint on the stone ground.
"Yan Xiong!"
"Dugu Jin!"
Luo Yi’s eyes turned cold. In his line of sight, a black-robed elder and a woman in a red dress had appeared.
Yan Xiong, the leader of the Sky Eagle Gang!
Dugu Jin, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Gang!
Both were mid-stage Bone Refinement experts.
Luo Yi hadn’t expected that the two major gangs would join forces and launch a surprise attack on the Divine Slaughter Sect.
"Do you really think the Zhuo Family won’t be enraged by your attack on the Divine Slaughter Sect today!?"
His voice was cold. Hearing the name "Zhuo Family," both men’s eyes flickered with a hint of fear.
Then, Yan Xiong’s expression turned cold. "Luo Yi, don’t think the Zhuo Family will come to your rescue. The Shangguan Family and the Scarlet Flame Sect have already joined forces. The Zhuo Family’s experts are likely tied up by the two major forces and can’t break free.
"Today, you must blame the Divine Slaughter Sect for choosing the wrong allies. After today, there will no longer be a Divine Slaughter Sect in the Taishan Dao!"
As if to confirm Yan Xiong’s words, several terrifying auras erupted outside the ancient city, accompanied by the angry roars of Zhuo Family experts.
Seeing this, Luo Yi’s heart sank. Since the Qingyang Sect was destroyed, all major forces in Guangyang Prefecture had their eyes on the Taishan Dao, choosing to support a local Taishan Dao faction.
Behind the Divine Execution Sect stood the Zhuo family.
What Luo Yi didn't expect was how quickly the Shangguan family and the Crimson Flame Sect reached an agreement.
Together, they pinned down the Zhuo family's experts, while the Heavenly Eagle Gang and the Vermilion Bird Gang were sent to exterminate the Divine Execution Sect.
With the situation at hand, Luo Yi was well aware that the Divine Execution Sect had no choice but to fight.
In this battle, if they couldn't suppress the two gangs, then tomorrow, the Taishan Road would no longer have a place for the Divine Execution Sect.
With this thought in mind, Luo Yi's blood qi surged, lighting up the night like a beacon. His powerful aura erupted, and his eyes glinted with determination.
"For centuries, the Divine Execution Sect has stood tall on Taishan Road, relying on our formidable strength!"
"Even if you all join forces, what can you do? The outcome of this battle is still uncertain. Come at me, all of you—"
With that, Luo Yi charged at Yan Xiong and Dugu Jin.
His Mid-Bone Refinement stage power erupted, putting significant pressure on the two.
In a one-on-one fight, neither Yan Xiong nor Dugu Jin would have a chance against Luo Yi.
Even at the same Mid-Bone Refinement stage, there were still differences in strength.
But with the two of them working together, the situation changed.
"Kill!"
"First, we kill Luo Yi, then we destroy the Divine Execution Sect!"
The two exchanged a glance and attacked Luo Yi from both sides.

Three days later, Gu Peng arrived.
"Lord of the Manor, we have news from Taishan Road!"
"Bring it here."
Gu Qingfeng swallowed a thread of Great Sun Yang Qi, then turned to Gu Peng, who respectfully handed over a sealed letter with the Gu family's emblem on the wax seal.
The former guards of the Gu family were now part of the outer hall, serving as disciples of the Gu family manor.
Gu Qingfeng had tasked Gu Peng with selecting the most loyal among them for special training and deploying them to gather intelligence across Guangyang Prefecture.
Opening the seal, Gu Qingfeng pulled out the yellowed paper, which contained the latest news from Taishan Road.
"The leader of the Divine Execution Sect—"
"He's quite a formidable opponent!"
The letter detailed how, three days ago, the Heavenly Eagle Gang and the Vermilion Bird Gang had launched a joint assault on the Divine Execution Sect. However, the sect's leader, despite being heavily wounded, managed to slay the leaders of both gangs and secure a decisive victory.
The leader of the Divine Execution Sect, Luo Yi, was a Mid-Bone Refinement cultivator.
The leaders of the other two gangs were also at the Mid-Bone Refinement stage.
Yet, they were no match for Luo Yi.
This clearly demonstrated the depth of the Divine Execution Sect leader's foundations.
"Now that the Heavenly Eagle Gang and the Vermilion Bird Gang have been destroyed, the Shangguan family and the Crimson Flame Sect should withdraw according to the rules, right?"
As Gu Qingfeng spoke, a burst of blood qi from his palm shattered the paper.
Recently, the major ancient families and sects had engaged in direct confrontations, each suffering significant losses. They then established rules to primarily support one faction each, competing for dominance.
The victor would control Taishan Road.
This was done to minimize losses, as a full-scale conflict over Taishan Road would result in mutual destruction, benefiting no one.
Gu Peng replied, "From what we can see, the Divine Execution Sect, supported by the Zhuo family, has a good chance of winning. However, if the other families join forces, the Zhuo family might not be able to hold them off."
"Whether they can or can't, we'll just have to wait and see."
Gu Qingfeng folded his arms and smiled faintly.
"Besides, the defeated families and sects might not necessarily follow the rules. If someone decides to break the agreement, things will get interesting..."
