"Boss is indeed wise!" Toad praised with a wide grin.
The Crescent-Faced Second Elder, holding a three-pointed double-edged lance, took the lead, followed closely by the hooded Fifth Elder and Eighth Elder.
Over a hundred disciples flew swiftly behind the three elders.
The four brothers stood proudly in the air, and the Second Elder was the first to arrive before them.
He smiled coldly, a sinister and terrifying smile.
"Hahahahaha, you four arrogant fools, how dare you attack the Holy Land! Today, this old man will make you regret coming into this world!" the Crescent-Faced Second Elder said confidently.
The four brothers exchanged a glance.
"This guy is too ugly. Who's taking him?" the Man in Black asked.
Toad looked at Snail and said, "You go. Crush him with the weight of Mount Tai and flatten his face!"
Snail looked disgusted. "Fine."
Then, Toad and the Man in Black engaged the Fifth and Eighth Elders, while Yi Feng charged towards the group of miscellaneous grunts in the back.
"Arrogant and reckless! Take this!" the Second Elder shouted angrily.
Snail's size rapidly increased, instantly growing to hundreds of zhang, blotting out the sky and the sun.
The Second Elder's face suddenly stiffened, his heart trembling wildly.
He knew these four brothers were formidable, but he never expected them to be this terrifying!
But he quickly calmed his mind.
He figured that such a size-increasing spell must have many flaws, such as in defense and speed.
The Second Elder's three-pointed double-edged lance suddenly flashed with a monstrous golden light, which shot fiercely towards Snail.
"Bang!"
The golden light hit Snail, smashing a deep crater into its body with a loud explosion.
"Think getting bigger makes you a match for me? Too naive!" the Second Elder sneered playfully.
But the next moment, the Second Elder's face stiffened again.
The deep crater smashed into Snail's body was instantly covered in slime.
With the wriggling of Snail's flesh and blood, the crater healed rapidly in less than a breath's time.
Snail completely ignored the Second Elder and smashed down toward him fiercely.
The Second Elder's eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned to escape.
He thought to himself, this big guy's speed definitely can't match mine. I'll dodge this attack first!
But the sky-obscuring Snail followed closely, its body growing larger and larger, as if covering a thousand miles in a single step.
Snail's speed was not only not slower than his, but even much faster.
Without a word, Snail smashed down on him viciously.
The Man in Black had chosen the Fifth Elder as his target.
The Man in Black flashed and eerily appeared behind the Fifth Elder.
He then slashed out with his sword, a hundred-zhang sword aura sweeping swiftly toward the Fifth Elder's neck.
The Fifth Elder's heart chilled, and he spun around abruptly, then controlled his body to plummet rapidly.
This strike truly made his entire body run cold. Caught off guard, he could only shrink his neck.
"Slash!"
The sword gleam directly severed his hood, revealing the Fifth Elder's withered and pale old face.
The Fifth Elder narrowly dodged this strike and immediately swung his sword to counterattack.
He swung his sword in mid-air, slashing out a cross-shaped sword gleam that shot towards the Man in Black.
The Man in Black shook his head and sneered, "Is this it?! Too damn useless!"
The Man in Black didn't even try to dodge, but casually slashed out.
An incredibly sharp sword aura instantly shot out, directly breaking through the cross-shaped sword gleam and slashing towards the rapidly plummeting Fifth Elder.
The Fifth Elder was still unwilling to give up. He hastily summoned a large cauldron to block in front of him.
"Clang!"
A loud bell-like sound echoed through the sky.
"Crack, crack, crack."
The cauldron shattered instantly. The Fifth Elder took the opportunity to slash out dozens of sword strikes to defend against the invading cauldron fragments and simultaneously attacked the Man in Black.
The Man in Black curled his lip in disdain.
"Trash like you is worthy of using a sword?!"
Then, the Man in Black turned into a stream of light with his sword, charging rapidly toward the Fifth Elder.
The Man in Black's figure seemed to merge with the sword light. Wherever he passed, the void distorted, and sharp sonic booms shook the mind.
Seeing this, the Fifth Elder's heart trembled violently, and he felt a chill down his spine.
Obviously, this Man in Black's swordsmanship and cultivation were entirely above his.
In the eyes of the Man in Black, he was just a small fry.
The Fifth Elder bit the tip of his tongue, quickly burning his essence blood to turn and flee.
But the Man in Black didn't give him the chance at all.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The Man in Black transformed into a beam of light, directly catching up to and piercing through the Fifth Elder's body.
The immense energy instantly blew the Fifth Elder into a bloody mist.
Yet the bloody mist didn't stain the Man in Black in the slightest.
On the other side, Yi Feng broke all techniques with a single sword strike.
Yi Feng unleashed a fierce slash.
A terrifying sword aura, hundreds of zhang high and a thousand zhang long, swept toward the hundred-plus disciples of the Desolate Hall like an overwhelming tide.
The sword aura was like a rainbow and raging waves. Wherever it roared past, the Desolate Hall disciples were left without a trace of flesh and blood, instantly annihilated between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, the Man in Black twitched his mouth, as if somewhat unwilling.
Toad puffed out clouds of mist, spitting out countless air cannons toward the Eighth Elder.
The air cannons seemed tangible, each strike producing a deafening explosion.
Clearly, he wasn't using his full strength, but was toying with this hooded man.
The Eighth Elder crazily blocked the bizarre attacks with his saber.
"Clang, clang, clang, boom, boom, boom!"
The sound of clashing metal and explosions rang out incessantly.
The webbing between the Eighth Elder's thumb and forefinger split open, his treasured saber's edge rolled, and he coughed up blood from the shock of the impacts.
Seeing that everyone had basically finished their battles, Toad opened its massive mouth and inhaled sharply, directly sucking the injured Eighth Elder in front of it.
The Eighth Elder looked terrified, feeling as if he were on the edge of an abyss or treading on thin ice.
He used all his strength to resist this powerful suction force, only to find he couldn't stop it at all.
Toad delivered a leaping kick, viciously striking the Eighth Elder's abdomen and shattering his ribs inch by inch.
Then it eerily opened its bloody maw and swallowed the Eighth Elder alive into its belly.
"Burp..."
After swallowing the man, Toad didn't forget to let out a loud burp.
On the other side.
Snail had crushed the Crescent-Faced Second Elder, breaking his bones and snapping his sinews.
Just as he was about to end this scoundrel's life, Yi Feng called out to stop him.
"Snail, leave him alive. Let him walk back to deliver a message!" Yi Feng shouted.
Hearing this, Snail felt very displeased.
After all, the brothers had all killed to their hearts' content, and he was the only one who hadn't flattened this person's face.
But the boss had already laid out the plan, so he could only pretend to let this person go, tail him to the Desolate Hall, and then unleash a massacre.
Originally, the Second Elder only felt a chill on the back of his neck. He had never expected these four to be so powerful.
The three elders had attacked, yet they had no power to resist.
But hearing Yi Feng's words at this moment, the Second Elder's expression froze.
They were actually letting him go back to deliver a message?
Despite acknowledging that these four were very strong, this was a bit too arrogant, wasn't it?
Did they think they could take on the entire Desolate Hall?
But regardless, the fact that he didn't have to die now was real. He hastily swallowed several pills, gathered all the energy and strength in his body, turned around, and fled in panic.
The four brothers just smiled as they watched the Second Elder's figure disappear into the distance.
Then, the four brothers exchanged a glance and vanished from where they stood...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
