398: Chapter 395 Slaying the Third Elder of the Demon Clan

Mixing into the crowd, Chen Erniu lowered his voice and said, "The Yao Race sacrifice will officially begin soon. Once the ceremony starts, those high-ranking officials will all follow the regulations and flood into the Yao Race Altar, each performing their duties and participating in the sacrificial process."

"At that time, the city's defenses will be empty. I will follow the original plan, sneak to the eastern defense line, create large-scale chaos, tie up all the remaining Yao Race forces, and completely disrupt the defense rhythm of the entire ceremony."

"Brother Hu, take the opportunity to slay the Third Elder of the Demon Clan."

Qin Changsheng nodded slightly, giving a gentle nod.

Qin Changsheng had no affection for the Yao Race.

Since stepping into Yaoling City, he had witnessed the Human Race being sold as goods and treated as flesh and blood food, and had seen tens of thousands of innocent humans tied beneath the Yao Race Altar, about to become sacrifices for the Yao Race's ritual.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also decided to use the Longyuan Sword Domain and the Golden Core Divine Ability, Dharma Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, to see if there was an opportunity to destroy this Yao Race Altar.

More than half an hour later, the Third Elder of the Demon Clan stepped slowly to the center of the high altar.

The Third Elder of the Demon Clan stood in the center of the altar with a steady posture and loudly declared, "The auspicious time has arrived; the Yao Race's ten-thousand-year sacrificial ceremony officially begins!"

After a pause, he raised his hand in a gesture of invitation and respectfully called out to the high platform above and the strong figures of the Yao Race in all directions, "I invite the Leader, the Grand Elder, and all the noble experts of the Yao Race to enter the altar for the sacrifice!"

As this announcement fell, it completely raised the curtain on this Yao Race sacrificial ceremony.

On the top viewing platform, the group of high-ranking Yao Race members who had been sitting and chatting quietly all stood up upon hearing the sound.

Shen Guhong, who was leading, restrained the relaxed smile on his face. The casual Aura around his body instantly transformed into the Pressure of a hegemon overlooking all living beings. His black robes fluttered without wind, his posture stood tall like a pillar of the firmament, and his demeanor was magnificent.

The Grand Elder in white robes at his side also rose slowly. His white clothes were spotless, and his introverted cultivation Aura rippled slightly. He appeared gentle, but hidden within was an unfathomable and terrifying foundation.

Following the two top giants, all the Yao Race Elders, high-level Yao Generals, and Yao Venerables of various tribes on the altar stood up and formed lines.

Under the bowing welcome of the Third Elder of the Demon Clan, Shen Guhong took the lead, walking with steady and composed steps, carrying the majestic Aura of ruling over ten thousand Yao, and was the first to step into the core area of the Yao Race Altar.

The Grand Elder followed closely behind, his white robes fluttering, with a transcendent demeanor.

The rest of the high-ranking Yao Race members followed behind the two, entering in an orderly fashion, each taking their respective positions, and standing layer by layer on the exclusive combat stations on both sides of the altar.

As each person stood, a strong demonic power descended, making the killing atmosphere of the entire altar very intense.

In an instant, all the top combat power and power core of the Yao Race entered the arena, gathering within the Yao Race Altar.

"Brother Hu, I'm going to the east side to incite chaos!"

"The Third Elder of the Demon Clan is left to you!" Chen Erniu's figure moved, and he rushed towards the east.

Qin Changsheng nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the Third Elder of the Demon Clan on the high platform.

At this moment, the Third Elder of the Demon Clan stood on the high platform, hands forming seals, chanting ancient and obscure Yao Race sacrificial texts. Demonic light swirled around him, Demonic Qi surged throughout the entire altar, and countless runes floated and sank, shrouding all directions.

Inside the altar, Shen Guhong, the Grand Elder, and the group of high-ranking Yao Race members stood solemnly to observe the ceremony. The surrounding guards were strict, and the attention of all the strong Yao Race figures was focused entirely on the sacrificial ritual.

Just at the moment when the sacrificial text was chanted to a critical point, a heaven-shaking commotion suddenly erupted from the east side of the altar!

Boom!

The sound of violent spiritual energy explosions suddenly rang out. Fire soared into the sky, Demonic clouds burst, and rolling smoke and dust swept across the entire eastern defense line. The originally orderly eastern guards were instantly thrown into chaos.

The sounds of chaos, slaughter, and explosions intertwined, completely breaking the solemnity and tranquility of the ceremony.

"There are assassins!"

"Enemy attack! Someone has broken into the east side of the altar!"

"Quick! Protect the altar's defense line! Quickly surround and annihilate the assassins!"

Sharp and urgent shouts exploded one after another. The countless Yao Race experts on duty instantly changed color. The Yao Generals and soldiers who were originally guarding the four directions had their minds tightened, and they could no longer care about maintaining the order of the sacrifice.

Everyone's gaze and attention were completely attracted by the sudden turmoil on the east side.

Shen Guhong, the Grand Elder, and others all had very bad expressions.

However, at this moment, they were participating in the sacrifice and could not go to check at all.

"Have someone go check immediately!" Shen Guhong shouted loudly.

As Shen Guhong's voice fell, a large number of Yao Race experts, personal guards, and patrol elites turned their directions, their figures flashing as they rushed towards the east with monstrous Evil Qi.

The originally dense and impregnable altar defense instantly had a huge gap.

Although the high-ranking Yao Race members on both sides of the high platform did not move easily, the outer defense forces below had already been completely emptied.

Far away at the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qin Changsheng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his cold Killing Intent completely locked onto the Third Elder of the Demon Clan on the high platform.

He knew in his heart that this was the only and best opportunity for assassination.

Without any hesitation, Qin Changsheng moved his mind and controlled Hu Nan's palm to wave gently.

Hum—! A clear and domineering sword hum soared into the sky, shaking the heavens and earth!

Ten long swords, shining brightly and gleaming with cold light, suddenly flew out from Hu Nan's sleeves; they were none other than Qin Changsheng's Lifebound Treasure, the Dragon Abyss Sword!

The Dragon Abyss Sword soared through the air, heading straight for the Nine Heavens, and hovered high above the altar.

The spiritual light on the sword bodies surged, and endless, extremely sharp sword dao spiritual power poured out, spread, and intertwined crazily.

In an instant, dense sword shadows filled the sky, and crisscrossing sword patterns locked all directions. The terrifying sword dao Pressure instantly suppressed the entire airspace of the altar.

A huge, boundless golden Sword Domain instantly formed, shrouding the entire central altar!

The Sword Domain was grim, with cold light covering the ground. The Killing Intent soared to the sky, instantly suppressing the Demonic Qi filling the sky, and completely locking the unprepared Third Elder of the Demon Clan, who was in the center of the altar, into the center of the Sword Domain!

A terrifying Pressure, ancient, vast, and incomparably domineering, suddenly fell from the Nine Heavens, ruthlessly crushing down on the entire Yao Race Altar.

This was pure, top-tier sword dao Pressure—piercing, murderous, and heavy—carrying the supreme might to crush all ants. It instantly overturned all directions, crushing and suppressing all the Yao Race's Demonic Qi filling the sky.

The entire Yao Race Altar instantly fell into dead silence. The wild wind stopped abruptly, the runes dimmed, and all restless Auras were completely frozen.

On the high platform, all the high-ranking Yao Race members changed color. None were spared; all were firmly locked by this sudden, terrifying Pressure.

The Third Elder of the Demon Clan, who was in the very center of the Sword Domain, bore the most violent and purest impact of the Pressure.

He had been completely unprepared, as he was wholeheartedly hosting the sacrificial ritual. Suddenly suffering this massive force of suppression, his legs instantly went weak, and his body sank heavily.

Accompanied by a dull thud, he was pressed firmly onto the altar floor by the terrifying sword dao Pressure. His demonic power was completely stagnant, his Meridians were blocked, and his bones cracked all over. He was completely unable to mobilize even a shred of power, his limbs were stiff, and he could not move. Extreme terror and panic instantly welled up in his eyes.

Compared to the disheveled Third Elder of the Demon Clan, Shen Guhong and the Grand Elder in white robes, who stood at the very top of the high platform, had completely different foundations.

In the critical moment, Shen Guhong's eyes turned cold. With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black Demon Emperor Seal floated in front of him. Imperial demonic power surged mightily, propping up a thick barrier that forcibly resisted the pouring sword dao Pressure.

The airflow around him vibrated, and his sleeves danced wildly. Even under the heavy Pressure, he remained tall and straight, as steady as Mount Tai, but his eyes were already covered with cold Killing Intent.

The Grand Elder on the side also made a move in an instant. His white robes fluttered, and an ancient jade ruyi appeared in his palm. Spiritual light surged, and layers of soft light barriers spread out, steadily blocking the sword Pressure filling the sky.

His beard and hair flew, his expression was solemn, and the Aura around him surged violently. Clearly, he was also shaken by this sudden, terrifying Sword Domain and did not dare to be even slightly careless.

Only by simultaneously sacrificing their supreme treasures to resist could the two top giants of the Yao Race barely withstand this supreme sword dao Pressure, which was enough to show just how terrifying the power of the Sword Domain was at this moment.

At the same time, in the distant east, the countless Yao Race experts who had originally rushed to suppress the chaos sensed the heaven-shaking change above the altar and turned back one after another. Countless strong Auras approached rapidly, demonic light streaked across the sky, and they rapidly closed in on the altar. The situation instantly became extremely dangerous.

Qin Changsheng's Divine Sense quickly scanned the entire scene.

He clearly saw that Shen Guhong and the Grand Elder had monstrous foundations and were protected by Magic Treasures, making them impossible to shake in a short period.

The returning Yao Race experts were endless, and delaying would only lead to being trapped in a desperate encirclement.

Only the Third Elder of the Demon Clan, who was firmly suppressed on the ground, unable to move, and had no ability to resist at all, was the only and safest target for assassination at the moment.

There was no more hesitation in Qin Changsheng's heart; he moved his fingertips gently and waved his hand slightly.

The giant golden Sword Domain hanging high in the Nine Heavens instantly roared into motion. Thousands of crisscrossing sword shadows trembled in unison, carrying the destructive power of killing, like a meteor falling to the ground or mountains and rivers collapsing, and crashed directly toward the Third Elder of the Demon Clan, who was firmly suppressed in the center of the altar!

Boom—!!!

A heaven-shaking loud noise exploded!

The brilliant, dazzling golden sword light instantly swallowed the entire center of the altar. The terrifying sword dao power crashed to the ground, slamming fiercely onto the Yao Race Altar. A violent spiritual energy shockwave swept in all directions, shaking the entire Yao Race Altar violently, sending debris flying and causing Demonic Qi to disperse!

The extremely violent sword dao power swept wantonly and vented crazily, crushing down without any reservation.

The incredibly hard Yao Race Altar, which carried the ten-thousand-year Luck of the Yao Race, was as fragile as thin paper in front of this supreme sword might.

Dense cracks instantly covered the entire stone platform. Golden light erupted from the cracks, and with a harsh cracking sound, it collapsed with a bang.

Blocks of thick Yao Jade platform surfaces exploded and flew. The sky was filled with rubble and debris, accompanied by the dispersing Demonic Qi, and the entire core altar was directly blasted into countless fragments, completely becoming ruins.

The Third Elder of the Demon Clan, who was in the center of the Sword Domain and firmly imprisoned by the Pressure, had no room to struggle at all.

The terrifying sword dao killing power instantly swallowed him completely. The miserable scream only sounded for half a second before it was completely covered by the monstrous sword hum.

When the golden light slightly receded, the spot was already empty.

This Third Elder of the Demon Clan, who held great power and presided over the ten-thousand-year sacrificial ceremony, left no bones remaining under this sword. Not even a shred of his remains was left; he directly turned into a wisp of flying ash and completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
