Chapter 231: Kill Until You're Willing
Chapter 231: Kill Until You're Willing
"Puff, puff"
Under the sweep of the Abyss Demon Sword, the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect died all over the place.
A lot of people also fled frantically, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.
Mo Xiu killed for a while, then stopped suddenly, looking at the current Sect Master Shan Yuanze.
Shan Yuanze's expression was very ugly. Even the Eight Diagrams Sword Formation could not deal with Mo Xiu, he was afraid that no one in the entire Seraphic Sword Sect could deal with Mo Xiu, and there would be no other means to harm Mo Xiu.
Even if he did it personally, he reckoned that he would die in Mo Xiu's hands.
He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Mo Xiu, let's have a talk."
Hearing Shan Yuanze's calm voice, all the elders only recovered a little calmness, and those elders who had just been killed and fleeing all ran to stay behind Shan Yuanze.
Mo Xiu waited for Shan Yuanze to speak, but instead of putting on a nice face, he said blankly, "What's there to talk about?"
Shan Yuanze: "Your strength is very strong. I have to admit that, but even if you kill everyone, it won't do you any good."
"..."
Mo Xiu was noncommittal.
Shan Yuanze: "In the past, we did have a bit of hatred with you. We wanted to kill you, destroy the Mo Family, and destroy the entire Yan Kingdom. But now, you are the deacon of the Seraphic Sword Sect, we have no reason to attack you, and there is no reason to attack your family and the whole Yan Kingdom."
"Wu Jue is the deacon of Seraphic Sword Sect. Mo Xiu is not the deacon of Seraphic Sword Sect," Mo Xiu corrected.
"There's no difference, Wu Jue is Mo Xiu, and Mo Xiu is Wu Jue," Shan Yuanze reverse. "Don't mention the deacon of the Seraphic Sword Sect, as long as you want, I can make you the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect now."
"Do you think becoming the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect is novelty?" Mo Xiu didn't give Shan Yuanze a good expression.
Shan Yuanze was not discouraged, and replied, "You are powerful, of course, it becoming an elder is not anything novelty, but it does not do any harm to you to become the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect either. On the contrary, you can get some of the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect to manage the Yan Kingdom. This is a good thing for you and our Seraphic Sword Sect, right?"
"You are right, but it makes no sense to me," Mo Xiu shook his head in denial.
"..."
Shan Yuanze's old face suddenly froze.
He took a few deep breaths, forcibly calmed the anger in his heart, and then said, "What can we do to make you give up?"
Mo Xiu's eyes suddenly deepened, and he slowly said, "It's not impossible for me to stop. The two conditions are: first, you kill yourself, and second, I will have the final say in the Seraphic Sword Sect from now on. I can decide to let whoever be the Sect Master. If I will let you go east, you must not go west. If I let you go south, you must not go north."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.
The next second, an elder said incomparably angrily, "What a joke! In this way, what is the difference between us and your servant?"
"Why? Not willing?" Mo Xiu asked very calmly.
"Of course, I'm not willing! If you want to kill us, just kill. But you want to control the Seraphic Sword Sect and want us to be your servants? In your dream!" That elder said impassionedly.
However, in the next moment, everyone heard a "poof" before that elder's body split in half in his waist, and his two bodies fell to the ground which was dyed red by blood and inner organs.
"What... what's going on?"
Everyone was stunned. They obviously didn't see Mo Xiu taking action. What Mo Xiu was holding was the Abyss Demon Sword, not the Profound Void Blade. How did Mo Xiu kill that elder in this situation?
Of course, Mo Xiu took the shot, but his speed was as fast and silent as the wind. First, he used his phantom supernatural power to appear behind that elder, and after beheading that elder with a single sword, he used the phantom supernatural power to return to where he stood before.
Everything was completed in the blink of an eye, and after the elder was cut in the waist, his body fell backwards, so that the phantom behind him instantly dissipated, creating an illusion that he did not take action.
Of course, it was also because that elder's cultivation base was not high. Otherwise, with his current cultivation base, he would not be able to perform such a difficult action.
Regardless of that, Mo Xiu's hand still stunned all the elders present, although they didn't think they would be Mo Xiu's opponent, no one wanted to die so cruelly in the hands of Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu looked around and said leisurely, "Is there anyone else who is not willing?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
After a while, Shan Yuanze said, "It is impossible for me to commit suicide. It is even more impossible for all of us to listen to your orders. However, as the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect, I can give you special treatment. You have the power to veto the decisions made by the Seraphic Sword Sect through the elders' meeting, and we will give priority to any suggestions you make."
What Mo Xiu wanted was to control the entire Seraphic Sword Sect, not the special treatment given by Sect Master Shan Yuanze.
His gaze fell on Shan Yuanze, and he said indifferently, "You mean, you don't agree?"
Shan Yuanze could feel the killing intent from Mo Xiu, his scalp was numb for a while, and he was sweating wildly.
He didn't even dare to stare at Mo Xiu, but he had to be wary of Mo Xiu before he took his gaze away from Mo Xiu.
After being nervous for a while, he said, "It's not unwilling, but..."
"No but, since you're not willing, then I will kill until you're willing!"
Mo Xiu snorted coldly before his figure blinked, and he rushed towards Shan Yuanze with his Everlasting Instant Shadow Step. With a wave of the Abyss Demon Sword in his hand, a sword energy with the Destruction Sword Intent swept out.
Shan Yuanze was shocked, never expected that Mo Xiu would have to kill him.
Although he made a wild statement before, saying that he would be able to break through to the realm above Sea Core Realm in a few days, in the final analysis, his strength was not so strong. He was just stronger than the average Sea Core Realm elder, and his True Energy was just more vigorous.
In terms of means, he was no better than Zhong Ruhao who died in Xing Yuyan's hands, and in terms of strength, he was no better than Bai Lizhi who died in the boundless sword domain.
As the terrifying pressure fell on him, his figure was locked very quickly.
He struggled frantically, the True Energy of his body gushing out, and finally broke free from the coercion, but the sword energy with the Destruction Sword Intent had already smashed his body.
"Puff"
Blood splashed, but Shan Yuanze's cultivation base was there to guard, it was not far from the realm above Sea Core Realm either. When the Destruction Sword Intent penetrated into his body, it was forcibly suppressed by him.
Mo Xiu didn't care about this. In his words, if one sword couldn't kill, then two swords, and if two swords couldn't kill, then three swords
"Puff, puff"
Several sword energies with a Destruction Sword Intent struck Shan Yuanze's body in succession.
Shan Yuanze could barely suppress it at first, but gradually, he couldn't suppress it anymore.
"Ahh!"
After a scream, Shan Yuanze's body was frantically torn apart by Destruction Sword Intent, turning into nothingness.
"You... how dare you kill the Sect Master!"
Some die-hard supporters of Shan Yuanze suddenly became a little angry and glared at Mo Xiu one after another.
Mo Xiu glanced away and said coldly, "I said, if you're not willing, I will kill until you're willing!"
With that said, he turned to kill the die-hard supporters of Shan Yuanze again.
"Puff, puff"
The hardcore supporters of Shan Yuanze fell one after another.
Those people also thought about joining forces against Mo Xiu, but since even the previous sword formation could not injure Mo Xiu, even if they joined forces, it was still useless, and they would inevitably die in the end.
There were also people who turned around and wanted to escape, but since Mo Xiu had already decided to wash them, he wouldn't let them escape. All those who wanted to escape were strangled before they could even step out from the boundary of Eastern Hedge Peak.
Not long after, there were only a few fifty elders left. Together with the deacons who had guarded the Teleportation Array on Eastern Hedge Peak, there were only sixty people on the scene.
More than sixty people stood in front of Mo Xiu, shivering, always worried that Mo Xiu would raise his butcher sword at them.
Mo Xiu's eyes fell on the remaining people, staring at them for a long time, before he said, "What about you? Are you willing?"
"Willing!"
"I have seen the Sect Master."
"From now on, we are willing to look forward to our new Sect Master."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and even bowed to the ground, expressing their willingness to surrender.
Mo Xiu was slightly satisfied. Although he didn't know what these people thought in their hearts, at least they had already surrendered on the surface.
Surface surrender was enough for Mo Xiu; he didn't expect these people to surrender to him from their hearts either. After all, he relied on killing, not prestige.
He didn't need prestige, as long as these people were afraid of him, that was more or less enough.
He raised his hand and made everyone stand up, "I didn't say that I want to be the Sect Master. I just let you listen to my orders in the future. I will find time to choose the new Sect Master."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Everyone nodded again and again, anyway, they had already succumbed to Mo Xiu, everything Mo Xiu said was an imperial decree.
Mo Xiu extended his Divine Consciousness and explored various places inside the Seraphic Sword Sect, but could not find Ji Linyuan and others, so he asked, "Where are Ji Linyuan and the others? Were they killed?"
"They were locked up in the Repentance Tower," an elder was responsible for describing in detail what happened during the period when Mo Xiu was not in the Seraphic Sword Sect.
Mo Xiu was not surprised, "Go to the Repentance Tower, release all those people, and bring them to see me. I have something to say."
"Yes."
That elder nodded respectfully, but in his heart, he thought to himself, "Do you think this would make me surrender to you? Naive! You even let me go to the Repentance Tower to release people; when those hostages fall into my hands, I will see how you die!"
