Chapter 768: It’s Too Late!

Yangzhou City.
As the troops of Lingxiao Palace suffered successive defeats and the news spread that Kai Xin had forcefully killed a group of experts from Longmen along with several elders from Lingxiao Palace, they were no longer able to organize any resistance outside the city.
The people from Mu Family and Xifeng Tower joined forces—over two thousand strong—they charged into the city at full speed, heading straight for Lingxiao Palace’s main altar.
Boom… Boom…
The troops of Lingxiao Palace retreated to their base to defend it.
Inside the main altar, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and others had already formed defensive formations, waiting for the forces from Mu Family to attack. Tension hung thick inside and outside the altar.
Who would have thought…
Thirty years on one bank, thirty years on the other.
Last night, tens of thousands of Lingxiao Palace troops besieged Mu Family’s branch altar, feeling invincible.
Now, they were forced to defend their own main altar under pressure from their enemies!
As more and more disciples from Lingxiao Palace rushed in from outside, chaos and the sound of hooves quickly reached the outer square of the palace.
“…”
Shangguan Lian and the others frowned deeply. The archers tightened their bows, their expressions turning grim.
The sound of hooves never ceased!
Boom! Boom!!
It grew louder and clearer!
The disciples of Lingxiao Palace outside could not stop the enemy’s advance. Cries of pain filled the air as chaos reigned.
Suddenly…
Boom!!!!
The main gate was split in two by a dazzling sword strike. The door latch broke, and under the force of inertia, it crashed inward…
A figure in a light blue warrior’s robe appeared on the steps of Lingxiao Palace’s gate, drawing everyone’s attention.
With a cold gaze, he swept inside majestically. The tense disciples of Lingxiao Palace gasped in shock, forgetting to shoot arrows for a moment.
They stared dumbfounded at the man dismounting from his horse!
“What are you staring at? Shoot!!!”
In the hall opposite, several elders of Lingxiao Palace, as if seeing something terrifying, urgently ordered…
Amidst the shouts, the people inside the main altar finally snapped out of their daze.
They released their bows!
Swish… Swish…
Arrows rained down like a storm!
With a slight smile, the young man stepped forward, mysteriously moving ten meters ahead. An invisible current surrounded him.
The arrows flying in the air and those heading toward him were drawn into a sudden swirling force, circling around him.
Swish swish swish!!!

A torrent of arrows instantly changed direction, shooting at the densely packed disciples of Lingxiao Palace in the hall with even greater speed… Arrows flew everywhere. Cries of pain filled the air. Those at the front suffered greatly—their protective barriers shattered instantly, turning them into porcupines. Seeing this, those behind dared not use their bows anymore. “Kai Xin, stop!” “We admit defeat in this battle… Lingxiao Palace will compensate for all the losses suffered by the Mu family…” Watching this, Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing realized that Kai Xin’s strength had reached an unimaginable level—they were no match for him. Lingxiao Palace had no hope of turning the situation around; continuing would only undermine its foundation. Kai Xin ignored them, continuing to walk toward the main altar while simply saying, “It’s too late.” Indeed. He hadn’t stopped them from declaring war on the Mu family through United First-Class Hall; he hadn’t stopped Lingxiao Palace from attacking its branches; he hadn’t stopped them from destroying the Mu family and hunting down Silver Fox and others. Now, only when Lingxiao Palace was in peril did he show up—where in the world was there such good fortune? Naturally, Kai Xin wouldn’t be kind. With a sweep of his sword, magnificent sword energy swept through the crowd, slashing through them and leaving trails of blood. “What’s the point of talking to him? Attack all at once!!” A few elders on the steps roared in anger, but before their words could finish, they were torn apart by a shooting sword beam… “I’ll take down Lingxiao Palace’s main altar today.” As he spoke, Kai Xin casually swung his sword among the crowd—his Dragon Form was ready at any moment to avoid damage, and his Arhat Body protected him, making it difficult for the disciples of Lingxiao Palace to harm him. Cries of pain echoed everywhere. With just Kai Xin alone, in less than half a minute, he shattered Lingxiao Palace’s carefully prepared arrow formation and disrupted their defenses… Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing watched anxiously from afar. From their strength, they could tell that Kai Xin was even more powerful now than when he first came here, unafraid of being surrounded by thousands of Lingxiao Palace warriors. Because no one could hurt him… With each sword strike, Kai Xin effortlessly took the lives of at least seven or eight people. His swordsmanship was too fast! So fast that even Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing didn’t dare approach. “Kill!!” Kai Xin completely disrupted several lines of defense within Lingxiao Palace. When he reached the steps of the meeting hall, shouts of rage came from outside. Silver Fox, who had been waiting for this moment, led the outside forces in a fierce charge into Lingxiao Palace’s main altar.

In panic, the men at the back turned around, their chests glowing red with blood—as soon as they faced him, they were knocked to the ground… A group of experts from the Mu family rushed in like wolves and tigers! They slashed down everything in their path with ruthless efficiency! “Xiao Bei, take your men and destroy the foundation stones of Lingxiao Palace! Leave these people to me!” Silver Fox rushed in fiercely, slashing mercilessly as he advanced, shouting loudly among the crowd—no one could stop him. Seeing the Mu family’s men and those from Xifeng Tower also storm in, the front courtyard was instantly seized by them. Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and the others paled deathly. “It’s over!” … Happy continued his slaughter! With thousands of Mu family members dead, he felt no pity for the people of Lingxiao Palace at all. He moved relentlessly, killing his way from the council hall to the central courtyard… Along the way, the corpses of Lingxiao Palace disciples formed a horrifying blood trail behind him. “All Lingxiao Palace disciples, listen up! Now! Immediately! Withdraw from the main altar!” Suddenly, several people stepped out of the central courtyard. A familiar female voice spoke firmly through Qin Yun’s mouth. “…” Countless Lingxiao Palace disciples who had rushed forward to defend the main altar hesitated for a few seconds. Qin Yun shouted again, and only then did the disciples glare hatefully at Happy before retreating from the main altar. In an instant, almost no one was left in the vast central courtyard! Aside from Qin Yun, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and Happy, who slowly descended the steps, there were only corpses everywhere—at least two hundred of them. “You want the main altar of Lingxiao Palace. I agree—I’ll let you have it. But tell me, does getting it mean the end?” Qin Yun was already willing to make peace. Happy remained calm, unleashing a flurry of sword moves: “From the moment you allied with Longmen and Yipin Hall, Lingxiao Palace no longer exists in my eyes!”
