# Chapter 1390: Brutal Slaughter
The Qi Family and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress were so united in purpose that they lunged directly at Ruoxie the moment the battle began, targeting Heavenly Terrace. If anyone from Heavenly Terrace claimed those two hadn't communicated through sound transmission beforehand, no one would believe it.
An enraged dragon roared, space tore apart, and a powerful oppressive force surged straight at Ruoxie from the very start. Almost simultaneously, Ruoxie's sword left its sheath, stabbing directly into the space above his head, as if sealing off the void. At the same time, it caused the two attackers' movements to stall momentarily. Then, the terrifying Primordial Time Severing Art essence was unleashed, enveloping the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and Qi Family experts.
"Senior Brother Ruoxie's Primordial Time Severing Art essence is a Seventh Layer essence, and that Qi Family Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm expert's Space Essence is also Seventh Layer. As for the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress expert, it seems to be gravity suppression. A difficult battle, but Senior Brother Ruoxie should still have a trump card," Lin Feng thought, his heart tightening as he watched the battle, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.
It was easy to imagine that if he stepped onto the battle platform, Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and the Qi Family would immediately target him. And not just them—people from the Human Desire Paradise and the Sikong Family might also attack him. This rule seemed somewhat unfavorable to him. It all depended on luck. If he actually encountered an Eighth Layer or Ninth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm opponent, it would be difficult. However, these major powers didn't have many Ninth Layer Sovereign Lords to begin with. He shouldn't be that unlucky.
"Roar!" A dragon's cry shook the nine heavens. Blood light flooded heaven and earth, enveloping Ruoxie's body within the void above the battle platform. The Qi Family expert used Space Essence divine abilities to seal off heaven and earth, his palms constantly trembling as he tried to tear apart and kill everyone within that entire space.
"Senior Brother Ruoxie!" The hearts of Heavenly Terrace's members trembled slightly. So ruthless. They immediately launched into a frenzied battle. Blood energy surged, and they even directly used their martial souls. The Qi Family expert still used the Qi Family's hereditary martial soul, the Space Diagram, while the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress expert's martial soul was a ferocious battle beast—dragon-like but not quite a dragon, demonic aura soaring to the heavens, causing his battle qi to grow even stronger, swallowing heaven and earth as it all attacked Ruoxie.
"Chi..." A dazzling and powerful light bloomed. A sword light tore through space. The crowd saw a swift sword—so fast that in an instant it seemed to have ten thousand variations, like a shooting star. A cracking sound rang out, and the entire void collapsed and split apart. The sword then stabbed toward the Qi Family expert.
"Time Severing Art!" Ruoxie shouted coldly, as if time descended upon that person. His movements became sluggish. He tried to use a void step technique to escape, but Ruoxie moved with extreme speed and spat out another cold word: "Slow!"
After that single word was uttered, the movements of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and Qi Family experts seemed to slow down.
"Fast and Slow Essence!" Lin Feng's eyes flickered with surprise. Ruoxie's combat power was beyond doubt. At this moment, the others on the battle platform also began their fierce battles. No one dared to form alliances, afraid of being backstabbed by their own people. On this treacherous battle platform, no one could be easily trusted.
"Big Senior Brother, can Senior Brother Ruoxie advance safely?" someone asked Mu Chen. This battle of twenty-two people on the same platform was extremely dangerous. In this short moment, two weaker individuals had already been directly killed and eliminated.
"The situation changes unpredictably. How can anyone be sure?" Mu Chen said calmly. Whether he could advance wasn't something he could predict. If only those two were dealing with Ruoxie, he could still hold on.
"Whoosh!" At this moment, another figure descended. The Sikong Family expert used his Heavenly Eye, enveloping Ruoxie, causing Ruoxie's movements in the battle to slow down, as if trapped in a Heavenly Eye quagmire. His expression turned ugly.
"Haha, you're dead!" The Qi Family expert roared angrily. But just as his words fell, a chi-chi sound rang out. Blood splattered. The power of slaughter wreaked havoc within the Qi Family expert's body. Wen Aoxue held a thin sword, his slender fingers like a woman's, his beautiful eyes icy cold.
"You..." The man stared fiercely at Wen Aoxue, letting out an unwilling roar. At that moment, the Slaughter Essence fully erupted, and the Qi Family expert's body was directly torn apart, reduced to ruins.
"Whoosh!" Wen Aoxue's figure flashed like lightning, instantly disappearing from his original position. His flexible sword stabbed straight at the Sikong Family expert. The sword was fast and sharp. Though not a sacred artifact, the silver-white light it emitted made hearts tremble.
"Hmph!" As Wen Aoxue attacked the Sikong Family expert, Ruoxie's pressure suddenly lightened. He snorted coldly and stabbed his sword toward the charging Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress expert. Now, he only had one opponent left. What was there to fear? Kill!
"Wen Aoxue's strength has grown this much too? No wonder he could enter the Divine Temple together with Wen Tian Ge. Very strong. Sovereign Lord-level combat power!" Lin Feng murmured to himself. If Wen Aoxue weren't powerful enough, he couldn't have killed the Qi Family member in one blow.
"Senior Brother Ruoxie's advancement is beyond doubt!" Lin Feng swept his gaze over the strength of everyone on the platform and thought to himself. Sure enough, the final outcome was as he had predicted. Ruoxie advanced. However, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress expert also advanced, locked in a fierce battle with Ruoxie. As for the Sikong Family expert, he was killed by Wen Aoxue, meaning Wen Aoxue alone had slain two experts from the Qi Family and Sikong Family.
Thinking of the grudges among the Wen Family, Qi Family, and Sikong Family, in this first battle, Wen Aoxue had successfully slapped the Qi Family and Sikong Family across the face—a very loud slap. The youngest person there had killed members of both their factions.
"Second battle. Who will go?" Ruoxie returned. Mu Chen nodded at him, then asked the Hundred Victories group behind him.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. In this kind of battle, no one knew how the other side would play their cards. Moreover, the encirclement of Heavenly Terrace by Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and the Qi Family earlier had made them somewhat cautious. If Wen Aoxue hadn't intervened, Ruoxie would have been in great danger. The three attacking Ruoxie had nearly pushed him into a desperate situation.
"I'll go!" A Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm peak expert spoke up. This person was one of the Sovereign Martial disciples from the first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples. Lin Feng had seen him before. He had achieved a hundred victories, and his combat power was formidable.
"Alright. Be careful!" Mu Chen nodded slightly at him. Soon, the Qi Family referee announced the start of the second round. That expert then stepped forward. Moments later, twenty-two people descended onto the battle platform.
"Not good!" At this moment, Mu Chen's eyes trembled slightly, revealing an ominous expression. The Qi Family had sent out a Sovereign Lord-level figure. His aura was vast and powerful, very strong. That Heavenly Terrace expert was in danger.
"Don't fight. Directly forfeit and admit defeat!" A voice rolled into the ears of that Heavenly Terrace expert. The man frowned. Forfeit directly and descend to the ground? That would be too shameful.
"Kill!" An angry roar came. The man's expression turned ugly, but in the end, he heeded Mu Chen's words and leaped toward the space below the battle platform. As long as he reached the ground, he would have forfeited the battle.
"Boom!" The Heavenly Terrace expert's speed suddenly increased as he frantically rushed toward the ground. But at that moment, a powerful spatial fluctuation emanated from the void. The entire space was sealed off.
"Break!" The Heavenly Terrace expert roared, but he saw the Qi Family expert's bloodthirsty eyes appear before him. His hand clenched, then plunged into the void. Terrifying spatial power tore at the Heavenly Terrace expert's body. His hand directly lifted up the entire space.
"So strong! This Sovereign Lord descended with the purpose of killing!" The Heavenly Terrace members' faces turned ugly. This Sovereign Lord's strength was terrifying.
Under their cold gazes, the Sovereign Lord slowly lifted the Heavenly Terrace expert's body into the void. His eyes looked toward the Heavenly Terrace crowd, a strange killing intent shining within them.
"Sever!" An angry shout. The Heavenly Terrace expert screamed in agony. The terrifying spatial power continuously sliced through his body. Blood rain scattered within that space.
"Kill! Ah..." The Heavenly Terrace expert was killed in such a cruel manner. His screams continued without end as he was tortured to death alive.
"Boom!" The Heavenly Terrace members' eyes turned bloodshot, their gazes filled with endless, terrifying killing intent.
"Very good. Next round, I'm going up!" Hou Qinglin's face was ice-cold, killing intent spreading wildly. How infuriating. He hadn't gone up this round.
"From now on, if Heavenly Terrace gains an advantage, the first person you kill must be a Qi Family member!" Mu Chen's voice was calm, but the killing intent within it was undisguised. It rolled loudly into the ears of that Qi Family expert. As if sensing the chill from Mu Chen, that expert's eyes flickered slightly. Then, his hand clenched fiercely. The Heavenly Terrace expert's body was torn apart, completely obliterated.
Lin Feng's pitch-black eyes stiffened slightly. The aura of slaughter was thick, but a faint sense of unease spread within him. What if Meng Qing and Yue Xin encountered such experts when they stepped onto the battle platform?
The Qi Family and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress were determined to kill Heavenly Terrace members. Meng Qing's strength was still considerable, but if Yue Xin faced such a powerful existence, she wouldn't have a single chance!
