Chapter 384 It Is A Warning Shot
"I didn't know that the enemy is a pseudo-demigod." Lai Peng had panic clearly written on his face and he put aside his pride as a supreme realm Spirit Warrior to beg the gold dragon standing beside him.
The attack will reach them in about 30 seconds and he felt there was enough time if the sect's guardian beast makes another move.
However, the gold dragon only scolded him in return for his ignorance, "Pseudo demigod? Are you that much of a fool that you lost all of your senses?" It roared.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me that the enemy is a demigod…" As Lai Peng didn't properly understand the words, the gold dragon shed light on the matter. "There are five elements in that sphere coming at us. Don't you understand what that means? There's only one being with the power of a demigod and mastered all the basic five attributes."
It was at that moment realization dawned upon the patriarch of the Wuji sect, "the Zheng of Kunyu Mountains… But, that's impossible. How someone like Lu Zhen could have…" A gasp escaped from Lai Peng as suddenly everything became connected, "Wu Weibao… he is the zheng. Is this why Lu Zhen was acting so recklessly?"
When he realized what he had done, regret took over him. He felt like if he had been given another chance, he would have kept his emotions in check and calmly negotiated the terms instead of trying to trap the demigod.
Looking at the crestfallen patriarch who lost his motivation to battle, the gold dragon said, "All is not lost yet, Lai Peng. Surrender and negotiate for peace on behalf of the sect. We can end this battle without facing any casualties."
"Alright, I will kneel before him and apologize. Just get us out of this trouble, Jinlong." Patriarch Lei appeared to have made his decision in an instant as the energy sphere was only about a couple of kilometers away and will probably reach in 10-12 seconds.
"Good decision…"
The gold dragon nodded and closed its eyes. It transformed into countless specks of light before shaping in the form of a barrier inside the existing golden barrier.
Ten seconds later, the energy sphere struck the golden barrier and a huge explosion occurred, flattening everything in a 2-kilometer radius.
The Kunlun sect's elders and elite disciples standing in their respective positions about five kilometers away from Mt. Wu and waiting for the signal couldn't help but crouch and defend themselves from the debris falling onto them.
Unknown to Mark, there were a couple of tiny villages located in the forest and they were also caught up in this explosion. Fortunately, they were all evacuated. So, only the houses and other structures were destroyed.
Meanwhile, the disciples living at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but scream in panic. Many of them felt like they were going to die. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Half of the golden barrier from the top half was impacted by the explosion and was destroyed. The inner barrier, on the other hand, developed deep cracks all over the place.
As the outer golden barrier started to self-heal, the cracked inner barrier disappeared and it went back to its original form, the gold dragon.
Jinlong, upon returning to its beast form, was seen with injuries all over its body. It couldn't hold on and just collapsed onto the ground. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝔀𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘vℯl. 𝑐o𝚖
Before it lost its unconsciousness, the dragon did manage to warn the stunned Lai Peng for the last time to keep his word for they don't have any means to protect themselves from the following attacks of the scarlet leopard.
But, what's the use?
As soon as the barrier was cleared, forty projectiles were launched at Mt. Wu, all of them at the same time without any gap.
20 of them are X-3 missiles with each of them having the capacity to eradicate every existence below 7-circle using the power of advanced 7-circle and 20 of them are X-2 missiles with each of them having the power of advanced-6-circle.
As none of them contained any ether energy, Lai Peng and the other elders couldn't sense them until they were in plain sight.
Seeing so many projectiles raining down at the sect at the same time, Lai Peng could only try to protect himself. A shield of ether energy covered him up.
*Boom* Boom* Boom*
Simultaneous powerful explosions were heard on the top of Mt. Wu, making giant craters one after another.
By the end of the last explosion, there's nothing left on top of the mountain except for lightly injured grand elders, a few heavily injured elders, an unconscious gold dragon, and an unharmed Patriarch. The remaining elders, elite disciples, residences, caves, ponds, beautiful fountains, everything was destroyed.
pαп?α-noν?1·сoМ In an instant, the 5174-meter mountain had become a 4000-odd-meter mountain with somewhat a flat peak and surrounded by an enormous amount of dust, smoke, and harmful gaseous substances.
"Cough" "Cough"
Lai Peng slowly rose to his feet covered by dust from top to him and looked at his surroundings. Tears almost welled up in his eyes, "Our sect… everything has gone…"
"Not yet, Lai Peng." A familiar voice interrupted him and Patriarch Lai couldn't help but turn around.
The place was full of dust. So, his vision was completely blocked but as the figure walked to him closer, he was able to see the person.
"Wu Weibao…" Lai Peng gritted his teeth in anger. He wanted to rush forward and kill him but upon remembering his earlier conversation with the sect's guardian beast, he forced himself to calm down.
Meanwhile, Lan Ju continued to walk until he was only a couple of feet away from his enemy. With a look of indifference, he said, "Consider this as a warning shot. My master doesn't want to spill the blood of innocents. That is why he doesn't allow me to blow up your entire sect."
"Okay, take my life and leave the sect alone," replied Lai Peng with a reddened face. Clenching his fists, he further added, "You can also take all the treasures of our sect."
Lan Ju shook his head, "The terms are changed now. My master wanted to make an example out of the Wuji sect for a greater purpose. So, here are the new terms my master has informed me just in case you suddenly changed your mind about the war like you did now."
"What are they?" helplessly asked Lai Peng.
Lan Ju took out a scroll from his right sleeve and handed it to Lai Peng.
