First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 52: Flaunting Power

"Who?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone's hearts trembled, and they quickly turned their heads in the direction of the sound.

Two figures were suspended on the eaves of the building, coldly overlooking the guests in the hall.

These figures were a man and a woman.

The man was an old man with a hunched figure, holding a dragon-headed cane.

The woman was a beautiful and voluptuous young woman dressed in revealing clothing.

"They are members of the Blood Robe Sect!"

Shen Zhou recognized the faces of these two people and was instantly shocked.

These two individuals were none other than Xue Ren, the Hall Master of the Blood Robe Hall under the command of the Blood King, and Gu Chao, the Hall Master of the Ghost Spring Hall.

"The Blood King has ordered your Shen family to be wiped out, to die in your own home."

"You old immortal, you still want to play the hero and make a name for yourself. You really don't know the meaning of life and death."

Xue, the Hall Master, slammed his cane heavily on the ground, his voice hoarse and filled with a strange laughter.

"How dare you, you remnants of the demonic cult, dare to intrude into the Shen family!"

"You're simply throwing yourselves into a trap!"

Upon seeing the two Hall Masters of the Blood Robe Sect causing trouble, the many heroes present were instantly stirred up.

"The Blood Robe Sect massacres innocent people and are demonic cult members. Everyone in the martial world should exterminate them!"

"We don't need to talk about martial ethics with them anymore! Since these two dare to intrude on the Hero Banquet and flaunt their power, we will join forces to capture and kill them as a sacrifice to our flag!"

The first to stand up was the young master of the Hidden Sword Villa.

His entire family had been slaughtered, and he had long been unable to contain his deep hatred.

"Clang!"

A flash of light, and the Hidden Edge Sword was unsheathed, slashing towards Xue Ren's face.

"Hmph, an ant trying to shake a tree!"

Xue Ren's eyes were full of disdain. After a cold snort, the dragon-headed cane in his hand suddenly rose.

"Crack!"

The sword was shattered by the cane's shadow, and the young master of the Hidden Sword Villa staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

Obviously, he was no match for Xue Ren.

Although Liu Jing came from a martial arts family and had been practicing martial arts since childhood, he had already reached the level of a top-notch expert after many years.

But when facing the Hall Master of the evil cult, he was still not strong enough.

"Amitabha, let this old monk have a meeting with you."

Although Liu Jing was not a match, among the heroes present, there were still true masters.

With the sound of a Buddhist chant, a figure slowly walked out of the crowd.

This person was dressed in a monk's robe, holding a nine-ring golden staff, giving off a solemn and dignified aura.

"Master Fa Zheng!"

Seeing this eminent monk appear, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

This person was the most famous abbot of the Floating Monastery in Tianyou City, Master Fa Zheng.

His cultivation was profound, although he rarely fought with others, he was still a top-notch expert in the righteous path. He was highly respected in Tianyou City.

His cultivation had already reached the level of a half-step Innate many years ago, and he was not inferior to Shen Zhou, the leader of the martial alliance.

"Whoosh!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Master Fa Zheng raised his palm and struck out a Vajra Seal.

"Just a mere golden seal, how can it stop me!"

Xue Ren remained calm, even in the face of this top-notch expert, he still carried a hint of disdain and arrogance.

With a loud shout, he raised the dragon-headed cane in his hand and smashed it down fiercely.

An unexpected scene unfolded before everyone's eyes!

"Spurt!"

Although the Vajra Seal came with great momentum, it couldn't withstand the dragon-headed cane in Xue Ren's hand at all.

In just an instant, it was shattered, and at the same time, the cane continued its momentum and struck Master Fa Zheng's chest.

The latter spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened.

With just one strike, he was seriously injured.

"How is this possible?"

This scene suddenly silenced the entire audience, followed by a great uproar and astonishment.

"Master Fazheng couldn't withstand a single blow from this thief. He's not just at the half-step Innate level, he's a true Innate Grandmaster!"

The Innate Grandmaster is the highest realm in martial arts.

A sight rarely seen in a hundred years.

Currently, Shen Zhou, the leader of the Tianyou City Martial Alliance, Master Fazheng of the Suspended Monastery, and Daoist Cangshan from the Baiyun Temple have all been trapped for many years, only stepping into the half-step Innate Grandmaster realm, but have not yet reached this level.

They never expected that the hall master of the Blood Robe Sect would reach this step!

"Now you all realize how foolish you are!"

"The strength of my Blood Robe Sect is far beyond what you so-called righteous martial artists can contend with!"

Xue Ren's face was proud as he slowly retracted his coiling dragon staff and spoke coldly.

A chill instantly swept through the entire Shen family.

Indeed, they had greatly underestimated the resurgence of the Blood Robe Sect.

"Although an Innate Grandmaster is the strongest in the martial world, in the end, they are still mortals and not invincible!"

"There are hundreds of experts here, we don't need to fear him. Even if it takes time, we can wear him down to death!"

At this moment, a burly middle-aged man stood up from the crowd and shouted in an attempt to calm everyone down.

This person was the head of the Qingcheng Sect, a prominent figure in the righteous martial world.

But before he could say much more.

Someone in the distance drew their sword.

The one who made a move was another hall master of the Blood Robe Sect, Gu Chao!

Her long sword suddenly unsheathed, gleaming with a cold light.

"Pu!"

Along with the sheathing of the long sword, a bloodstain appeared on the head of the Qingcheng Sect's leader, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Leader!"

Several disciples of the Qingcheng Sect who had followed him immediately gathered around, crying out in grief.

"The leader of the Qingcheng Sect was an unparalleled expert. This woman was able to kill him with a single sword. Could it be that she is also a true Innate Grandmaster?"

Everyone's gaze turned in astonishment towards Gu Chao, who had drawn her sword.

Gu Chao raised a cold smile on her face and said, "All four hall masters of my Blood Robe Sect are Innate Grandmasters. As the sect master, Ming Wang has become a legend in the martial world."

"With this kind of power, you ants can't contend with us!"

All four hall masters are Innate Grandmasters?

And Ming Wang has reached the legendary realm of martial arts?

This statement shocked and chilled everyone.

They shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!

Many heroes of the martial world secretly lamented.

If they had known that the Blood Robe Sect was so powerful, they wouldn't have dared to attend the Hero Banquet and lend a hand.

"Lord Shen, I have urgent matters at home and need to leave first!"

One of the masters of the Dragon Tiger Martial Hall, with a forced smile, found an excuse and bowed to Shen Zhou, intending to leave with his disciples.

But they were stopped.

"Since you've come, there's no need to leave!"

Gu Chao had a cold smile on her face and said, "The Shen family once led the heroes of Tianyou City to crush our Blood Robe Sect's headquarters. It was a fair and square challenge, so rest assured, we won't make a move to kill you until the agreed time."

"We will abide by the rules you followed back then. However, anyone who participates in this Hero Banquet should not expect to leave alive!"

"For the next few days, you can wait for death in the Shen family. If anyone dares to take a step out of the Shen family, it will be a one-way road to death!"

"Don't blame our Blood Robe Sect. If you want to blame someone, blame the Shen family for involving you all!"

The alliance of righteous martial artists, who were once united against a common enemy, completely fell apart after experiencing this sudden turn of events.

Fear quickly spread among the crowd.

They were like mice playing with a cat, thoroughly experiencing the fear and despair in the hearts of these self-proclaimed righteous heroes.

"Rest assured and wait for death. After three days, we will come to kill you!"

After showing off their might, Gu Chao and Xue Ren, the two hall masters of the Blood Robe Sect, successfully disrupted this Hero Banquet and planned to leave.

But just as they leaped up.

A pair of hands appeared out of nowhere and pressed on their shoulders.
