Chapter 345 A Certain Death Situation
"You arrogant brat!!"
The hot-tempered red-haired old man was the first to attack. His fire element surged instantly, and even his beard and hair turned into burning red lotus flames. The surrounding space twisted and deformed under the high temperature.
"As a junior, how could you be so ruthless, even killing a Supreme Elder! If we don't grind you to dust today, what face will our Demon-Slaying Hall have left?!"
"good!"
Another elderly man with long eyebrows, carrying an ancient sword on his back, took a step forward, and behind him, thousands of sword energies rang out, their killing intent soaring to the sky.
"Duanmu Hong, do you really think that just because you've grasped a smattering of the Dao of Space, you can do whatever you want in front of us?"
"Stop wasting your breath on him!"
The eerie voice of the Old Ghost of the Netherworld echoed from the corner, his hands radiating a dense aura of deathly darkness.
"He is now at his last gasp; that last move must have exhausted all his power."
"If we don't act now, when will we?!"
With a sharp shout from Old Ghost Youquan, the remaining thirty-two ninth-tier experts present reached an unprecedented tacit understanding at this moment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, the laws within the Burial Emperor Valley roared, and strange phenomena appeared one after another.
There are raging flames that can scorch the heavens and boil the seas, there is mysterious ice that freezes thousands of miles, there is sword energy that can tear the sky apart, and there is also poisonous mist that can corrode all things...
Thirty-two completely different yet equally terrifying torrents of laws, like thirty-two world-destroying dragons, roared from all directions and blasted towards the teetering figure in the center.
Such power, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to wipe a super sect off the map in an instant, and could even sink the land within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles!
At the eye of the storm, Duanmu Hong was like a lone boat in a raging sea, appearing so small and helpless.
At this moment, he was indeed, as the old ghost Youquan had said, completely exhausted.
He had already exhausted most of his power by repairing the formation, and the forbidden transfer technique he had just used had completely depleted his power of laws.
Faced with this seemingly inescapable situation, anyone would likely fall into despair.
However, there was no trace of panic or fear on Duanmu Hong's face.
He simply stood there quietly, his blood-stained purple-gold robe fluttering wildly in the chaotic storm of laws.
His bloodshot eyes, filled with an extremely piercing mockery, slowly swept across every face present.
That was extreme disappointment and contempt after seeing through the baseness of human nature.
"hehe……"
Duanmu Hong smiled.
His laughter was hoarse, yet it conveyed an indescribable sense of joy.
"What a show!"
"When the demons invaded and the great formation was about to break, not a single one of you stood up, nor did you display even half of your power."
"You guys are quite proactive in taking action against your own people now, full of energy and working together seamlessly."
At this point, Duanmu Hong's eyes turned cold, and his voice suddenly rose.
"You old fogies... you're experts at internal wars, but complete idiots at external wars!"
"Since you are so eager for my death, then I will remember your 'enthusiasm'."
"I hope that one day, when the demon army truly marches upon you, you will still maintain this ruthlessness towards me!"
Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Hong suddenly pulled out a silver talisman exuding an ancient and weathered aura from his sleeve with his blood-stained right hand.
As soon as the talisman was released, the previously locked space began to tremble violently!
"That's...?!"
Just as the old ghost Youquan was about to deliver the fatal blow, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he screamed in terror:
"A ninth-tier top-grade spatial teleportation talisman? How is that possible! This kind of ancient treasure has been lost for ages, how could you possibly have it?"
"Quick! Stop him!"
The elders were shocked and their attacks quickened instantly.
But it was too late.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Duanmu Hong's lips as he suddenly tightened his grip on his fingers.
"Snap!"
The priceless ninth-grade top-quality talisman shattered instantly in his hands.
Goodbye, everyone.
"If I don't die, we'll have a long future ahead of us!"
"Buzz—!!!"
As the talisman shattered, a powerful force of spatial laws erupted instantly.
A dazzling silver pillar of light shot into the sky, completely ignoring the sealing barrier set up by the thirty-two powerful figures around it, as well as the protective array of the Burial Emperor Valley that had been passed down for ten thousand years.
The beam of light enveloped Duanmu Hong's figure, and like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, it vanished from its spot in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the unknown depths of the void.
"Boom—!!!"
The next instant, everyone's attacks finally landed.
The torrent of thirty-two laws slammed into the spot where Duanmu Hong had originally stood.
The earth cracked open, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and the entire council hall, along with the mountain below, was reduced to dust by this attack.
However, after the smoke cleared, there was nothing there except a bottomless pit.
Not even a single hair of Duanmu Hong's head was left.
"They...they got away?!"
The red-haired old man stared blankly at the giant pit, the flames on his body flickering with extreme anger.
"You bastard!"
He turned around abruptly, grabbed the collar of an old man wearing a formation master's robe next to him, and roared.
"Heavenly Array! Are you a piece of trash? How are you managing this array?!"
"Didn't we tell you to activate the defensive array? Why couldn't you even hold onto someone who was half-dead?"
Elder Tianzhen, whose collar had been grabbed, also looked aggrieved, even more so than the red-haired elder.
"Let go! You brute, let go of me!"
Elder Tianzhen shoved the red-haired old man aside and retorted, his face flushed.
"You know nothing about formations!"
"That's a ninth-grade top-tier spatial teleportation talisman! It's a supreme treasure passed down from ancient spatial masters! It contains unparalleled divine powers!"
"Don't even mention our shabby formation; even if you moved the world barrier of the Heavenly Profound Realm here, this talisman could still force its way through!"
"If you're so good, then you do it! Why are you yelling at me like that?!"
The two were on the verge of fighting, and it even seemed like it was going to escalate into an internal conflict.
"Fellow Daoists, please calm down. Things have come to this point, arguing about this is pointless."
At this moment, Old Ancestor Youquan spoke up to smooth things over.
"Although Duanmu Hong has run away, it may not necessarily be a bad thing."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this and turned to look at Ancestor Youquan.
Old Ancestor Youquan sneered, a calculating glint in his turbid old eyes.
"Think about it, spatial teleportation talismans, while capable of breaking through boundaries to teleport, have a fatal flaw—they are extremely random!"
"Especially these ninth-grade top-quality talismans, their teleportation distance is ridiculously far, often spanning hundreds of millions of miles."
"Using it without fixed coordinates is practically gambling with your life."
At this point, Ancestor Youquan pointed to the sky, which led to the endless void.
"Given Duanmu Hong's current state of utter exhaustion, if he's unlucky enough to be teleported to some desolate void, such as the edge of a black hole or the center of a storm of laws, could he still survive?"
