85: Do you guys do it yourself, or let me do it?

Lu Fengming turned his head, his gaze falling upon the Divine Fire Sect Elders who were already ashen-faced, filled with trepidation, and uneasy, as he smiled at them.

With the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor dead at Lu Fengming's hands, beaten until not even his bones remained.

The hearts of the remaining Divine Fire Sect Elders had long since plummeted to rock bottom.

The last sliver of hope deep within their hearts had been completely extinguished, replaced by utter despair.

"You guys, will you end yourselves, or shall I personally take action and send you on your way?"

Lu Fengming narrowed his eyes, a sharp killing intent radiating from them as he gazed indifferently at these people.

Lu Fengming's words were extremely cold, and that merciless voice, entering everyone's ears, sent a chill straight to their hearts.

"Our Shenhuo Sect has no grievances with you, sir. You have already killed our Divine Fire Sect Old Ancestor and many of our disciples. Must you really wipe us out completely, uprooting our Shenhuo Sect, and utterly destroying it?"

The Leader of Shenhuo Sect, Huo Lingyun's, face was extremely grim. His eyes stared intently at Lu Fengming as he asked in a deep voice.

As he spoke these words, Huo Lingyun's body trembled uncontrollably.

"Hahahahaha..."

Hearing the Divine Fire Sect Old Ancestor speak these words, Lu Fengming did not immediately respond to him. Instead, he let out a burst of laughter.

His laughter was extremely unrestrained, his words cold, his voice harsh, carrying an air of decisive ruthlessness.

"A good 'no grievances'! From the moment your Shenhuo Sect people set their sights on me, Lu Fengming, and attacked me, the fate of everyone in your Shenhuo Sect was already sealed."

"All of you must die."

As he spoke, Lu Fengming raised his hand again, casually pointing at Huo Lingyun not far away, delivering his final command and judgment: "Remember what I just told you. You only have these two choices. Make your decision quickly."

"Hahaha..."

Hearing Lu Fengming's utterly merciless words, as the Leader of Shenhuo Sect, Huo Lingyun couldn't help but let out a long, loud laugh towards the sky.

However, his laughter was filled with desolation and sorrow.

Immediately, within the entire Shenhuo Sect Ruins, apart from the bursts of laughter from Huo Lingyun, there was complete silence. No other sound could be heard.

Such a silent environment truly made people feel a chill, causing them to tremble involuntarily, giving them a spine-chilling sensation.

Amidst his laughter, Huo Lingyun couldn't help but raise his head and let out a long cry towards the sky.

"To think that my Shenhuo Sect, after developing for over ten thousand years, has achieved such great accomplishments today. Even within the entire Yan Yang Empire, it is a well-known major sect and power."

"Looking at the many forces in the Yan Yang Empire, even those first-rate forces, even the Yan Yang Empire Imperial Family, would never dare to be presumptuous when they see my Shenhuo Sect, let alone destroy it."

"Who would have thought that my great Shenhuo Sect would one day be destroyed by a junior like you? How pathetic, tragic, hateful, and lamentable!"

After saying this, Huo Lingyun once again turned his gaze to Lu Fengming.

A complex mix of emotions flickered in his deep eyes as he quietly watched Lu Fengming.

After much deliberation, he spoke again: "Sir, your strength is extraordinary. Even our Divine Fire Sect Old Ancestor was not your match and fell at your hands. Our Shenhuo Sect loses without regret and has nothing to say."

"However, many of our Shenhuo Sect disciples have suffered heavy losses after being suppressed by you. The remaining disciples are merely innocent and pitiful individuals. Their strength is low, and they pose no threat to you whatsoever."

"I only hope that you, sir, can show great mercy and spare these poor disciples. If you truly wish to vent your anger, then take my life, Huo Lingyun's life, to do so."

"I, Huo Lingyun, humbly beg you, sir, to show mercy and give them a chance to live."

At this point, Huo Lingyun, as the Leader of Shenhuo Sect, spoke with a naked plea in his words.

His old face was filled with helplessness and bitterness, and a sense of desolation involuntarily welled up in his heart.

The dignified Leader of Shenhuo Sect was now humbling himself before such a junior, even begging him in a pleading tone.

But at this point, besides humbling himself and bowing to Lu Fengming, Huo Lingyun had no other choice.

His strength was inferior.

Even the Divine Fire Sect Old Ancestor had died in battle. As the Leader of Shenhuo Sect, he was powerless against Lu Fengming's might.

"Hahahaha..."

Lu Fengming couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

This sound carried a bone-chilling aura of coldness, like the eerie sneer of a malevolent spirit from the Nine Netherworld.

"Are your ears deaf, or was my previous explanation not clear enough?"

"I've said it already, the people of your Shenhuo Sect only have two paths: either end yourselves, or let me send you to the afterlife."

"I've said it, it's everyone from the Shenhuo Sect. Not a single one of you will escape from here today."

Show mercy, spare these innocent people?

Lu Fengming was not a saint, nor was he a benevolent person.

In his dictionary, the words 'show mercy' simply didn't exist.

Not to mention, killing them would bring Lu Fengming a sum of evil points.

Even as Huo Lingyun said, these Shenhuo Sect disciples were weak. Even if all of them combined, they would not pose any threat to Lu Fengming.

But letting these people go would also bring no benefit to Lu Fengming.

On the contrary, keeping them alive would be a huge hidden danger.

Even if they couldn't deal with Lu Fengming, having these flies buzzing around Lu Fengming's ears, continuing to annoy him, would be a vexing thing.

Since that was the case, why not cut the grass by the roots and thoroughly eliminate these hidden dangers?

Hearing these words, Huo Lingyun suddenly looked up, his face filled with despair.

Not only Huo Lingyun, but the faces of the Shenhuo Sect's Grand Elder and the other numerous Divine Fire Sect Elders also showed expressions of terror and despair.

They were very clear that the Shenhuo Sect was doomed this time. They all would likely suffer the same fate as the Divine Fire Sect Old Ancestor, dying without a burial place.

The remaining many disciples of the Shenhuo Sect also changed greatly in color, their hearts already in their throats.

One by one, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and cold sweat continuously poured from their foreheads.

The meaning in Lu Fengming's words was already very clear.

This time, not only would he kill the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor, but he would also kill the Leader of Shenhuo Sect and the numerous Elders, including those powerful individuals of the Shenhuo Sect.

Even these Divine Fire Sect disciples, who in Lu Fengming's eyes were not even ants, would not escape death.

Everyone, from top to bottom, in the Shenhuo Sect was already on Lu Fengming's kill list.

He intended to uproot the entire Shenhuo Sect, not giving anyone from the Shenhuo Sect a single chance to live.

An extreme chill rapidly swept through, permeating the hearts of everyone in the Shenhuo Sect, giving them a feeling of being chilled to the bone.

They never expected that this young man before them would be so ruthless, merciless, and utterly vicious.

He would not rest until every single person in the Shenhuo Sect was utterly annihilated.

They also never expected that this person before them was as deranged as a mad dog.

Even those great devils probably wouldn't be as merciless as Lu Fengming.

Hearing Lu Fengming's absolute determination and the undisguised killing intent in his words, Huo Lingyun, as the Leader of Shenhuo Sect, began to tremble.

"You... you... I don't know what kind of deep hatred our Shenhuo Sect has with you... you... you actually want to completely exterminate everyone in our Shenhuo Sect, to destroy the ten-thousand-year legacy of our Shenhuo Sect."

"You are so utterly devoid of conscience, so deranged, so inhuman, are you not afraid of divine retribution, are you not afraid of developing inner demons?"
