897: 249_3 897: 249_3 Therefore, even if he launched a sneak attack, in order to seriously injure or even kill Dao Yi, he had to use a Secret Technique.
Dao Yi had fully unleashed his combat power, but his attention was wholly focused on the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Suddenly, a blazing aura attacked from behind.
In an instant, every hair on Dao Yi’s body stood on end.
Someone was launching a sneak attack!
The thought had barely formed in his mind when an attack of extreme violence from Liè Yàn had already descended.
Blazing with devouring power, the black flames fell entirely upon him.
Liè Yàn had never revealed this flame to the public before.
This flame, which he had accidentally discovered in the deep recesses of the earth, was part of the reason he had attained his current level of cultivation base.
He did not rely solely on the Hundred Peaks Sect or the Fourth Prince; he too had had his own fortuitous encounters.
Originally, it was in the depths of the earth, where he had skirted the brink of death, that he had acquired this flame.
It was also the first time he had revealed it in the eyes of the world.
It seemed to be a flame from the Demonic Realm, filled with the power to destroy everything!
“You…”
Dao Yi cried out in shock, seemingly wanting to say something, but the terrifying flames had already completely enveloped him.
These flames were filled with Liè Yàn’s guilt towards the Hundred Peaks Sect, his hatred for his father and the Fourth Prince, his hatred for himself!
These flames were released with everything he had staked on them!
He, Liè Yàn, was a son of Hundred Peaks in life and in death!
The towering flames instantly devoured Dao Yi.
This was the blow of someone at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, having used all his strength after deploying a Secret Technique.
Amidst the burning inferno, Dao Yi’s body continuously decayed, decay upon decay.
All around, whether it was the remnants of the former dynasty, the people from the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty, or even the members of the Hundred Peaks Sect, were all stunned.
Wasn’t Liè Yàn one of the remnants of the former dynasty?
Why did he suddenly attack their leader?
Was Liè Yàn truly a member of the Hundred Peaks Sect or one of the remnants of the former dynasty?
The attack by Liè Yàn was too sudden and too fierce.
Dao Yi did not even have a chance to react before the fearsome flames, seemingly capable of devouring everything under Heaven, had completely engulfed him.
Liè Yàn, on the other hand, let out an enraged roar, as a thick killing intent surged to the skies, filled with deep guilt.
“I, Liè Yàn, am a man of Hundred Peaks in life and in death!”
Liè Yàn had deployed a Secret Technique, which was nothing less than the use of one’s strength in a brief moment, resulting in extreme weakness after its use.
Even Xiang Ziyu had been extremely weakened after deploying a Secret Technique.
Liè Yàn was equally weakened after deploying the Secret Technique, yet he still burned everything frantically, his power, his life!
Not a single piece of unscathed skin could be seen on his body.
Inside him, the black flames that seemed to come from the Demonic Realm gave him terrifying power but were also crazily devouring his flesh, his life force, everything he had.
“Pfft…”
Liè Yàn opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
It wasn’t the bright red of fresh blood, but rather blood tinged with black, his own blood infused with flames from the Demonic Realm.
Still, he crazily urged his own power, as flames surged from the phenomena of his Golden Core on his back, blasting out in all directions.
He would make amends for his own mistakes!
Liè Yàn recklessly expended all he had to attack each enemy around him.
Meanwhile, Little Beiyan had once again unleashed his battle power.
Suddenly, clouds of tribulation appeared.
Due to the unexpected action of Liè Yàn, the remnants of the former dynasty and the people from the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty had once again gathered.
This facilitated Little Beiyan’s move to break into their midst and trigger a Heavenly Tribulation.
In no time at all, numerous Heavenly Tribulations descended.
The remnants of the former dynasty, though numerous, were thrown into disarray with the sudden death of their leader Dao Yi.
There was also Bei Yan, who was bombarding them with the mighty Wind Fire Tribulation.
Behind them was Liè Yàn, who had gone mad, burning everything he had.
With the addition of Li Ke, Yan Yourong, and Xiang Ziyu, these three powerhouses, the remnants of the former dynasty found themselves in a completely passive position.
And they were not united.
Among them were people from the Great Lai Dynasty, from three different Immortal Sects.
Each person from the Immortal Sects had their own schemes.
Suddenly, the people from the Void Breaking Sect, one of the three Immortal Sects, began to retreat.
They felt that if the battle continued as such, they would likely be unable to conquer the Hundred Peaks Sect, and that even their Golden Core Stage cultivators might all perish here.
If that happened, the members of the Void Breaking Sect would not even have the strength to protect themselves on the road, let alone contemplate relocating their whole sect.
Even if they won the battle after continued fighting, by the time their people were nearly all dead, the remnants of the former dynasty would probably give them benefits, but the survivors would not have the power to defend the resources they acquired.
Moreover, this battle likely held no hope of victory.
Therefore, why not retreat first, then consider whether the Void Breaking Sect should leave the Great Lai Dynasty and go elsewhere?
Maybe even to another great province.
The Void Breaking Sect actually had forces they could turn to.
Quickly, the people from the Mirage of the East Sea and the Star Moon Mansion noticed the actions of the Void Breaking Sect.
All at once, the people from the Star Moon Mansion also began to leave.
Su Fangrong had already considered an escape route before this operation.
Now, seeing that it was impossible to conquer the Hundred Peaks Sect, and with the Void Breaking Sect already retreating, he decisively led the remaining experts of the Star Moon Mansion to depart.
