Chapter 303: Those Who Offend My Serpent Clan Death Without Mercy! Cloud Ridge Dies!
As the tornado descended from the sky, the entire linear space beneath it seemed to transform into a massive black hole.
Everything caught within its trajectory was pulled instantly toward Wu Tian's palm.
Nothing was spared not even large buildings. The moment they were lifted into the air, they were obliterated into dust before anyone could react.
That terrifying tornado was an unstoppable force, sweeping through everything like an apocalyptic storm.
Deep inside a narrow, dimly lit alley, where the air was oddly warm yet deathly still, a white bearded old man dashed forward at breakneck speed.
"Too terrifying! Too terrifying! I have to get out of here immediately! Only by escaping can I guarantee my safety! Who cares about Yun Lan Sect? My own damn life is the most important thing!"
His ghost like figure flickered through the alley, making the already eerie atmosphere even more unnerving.
Anyone who happened to brush past him would immediately feel a bone chilling cold seep into their very souls.
"M Mother of God! I've lived nearly a hundred years, and now I finally get to see a ghost! This is a life well lived!"
"Cough… Wait a minute. Is it a female ghost?"
"If it's a beautiful ghost… please, by all means, take me with you!"
The white bearded "ghost", who was none other than Yun Lan Sect's fleeing Grand Elder, Cloud Ridge, nearly spat blood upon hearing the old man's perverse mutterings.
You old fart! If I weren't trying to stay hidden, I'd send you to meet your damn "female ghost" right now!
But Cloud Ridge had bigger concerns.
He had orchestrated the entire "bait the snake out of its hole" scheme.
Yet, never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the "snake" he lured out would be so terrifying!
Wu Tian had annihilated Wu Guardian in a single strike.
If even that terrifying existence had perished so easily, then what chance did he have?
Thankfully, he had foresight.
He had released the Sky Piercing Signal Arrow, summoning five more Dou Huangs to stall for time.
If they could just hold Wu Tian's attention long enough, he might just be able to escape with his life…
"Boom !"
Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted right next to him.
Cloud Ridge's expression twisted in sheer horror, and his body instinctively leaped away.
But the next second
His soul nearly left his body in fright.
You may ask, what happened?
Cloud Ridge had immediately reacted, pushing off with his legs to launch himself away.
Yet
His body hadn't moved at all.
No
He had moved.
Just not in the direction he wanted.
Because at that moment
A terrifying suction force had locked onto him.
His entire body was frozen in place.
His movements were no longer his own.
A force beyond his comprehension was dragging him upward against his will.
Cloud Ridge's face drained of all color, terror gripping his soul.
From his peripheral vision, he saw a massive building get pulled into the air.
And then, in the blink of an eye
It was disintegrated into absolute nothingness.
He shuddered.
His fate… would be no different.
"Cough "
In an instant, Cloud Ridge felt his throat clamped in an unbreakable grip.
Struggling to pry his eyes open, his soul nearly collapsed when he saw who was holding him.
It was him.
That monstrous Serpent Clan Elder.
Cloud Ridge could feel it
This man's power was beyond anything he could possibly resist.
His vision blurred, his eyes drifting toward the remaining Yun Lan Sect elders and disciples below.
At that moment
A horrifying realization dawned upon him.
Perhaps…
All of us were merely sacrificial pawns from the very beginning.
Yun Lan Sect was not that far from the imperial capital.
So why had Sect Leader Yun Shan not personally led their forces here?
The answer was now painfully obvious.
Yun Shan… had already abandoned them.
A self deprecating laugh escaped Cloud Ridge's lips.
Not only had he tried to bait the snake out of its hole, but Yun Shan had done the exact same thing to him
And with far greater precision.
He had been used.
Completely.
Utterly.
Like a complete fool.
"Those who offend my Serpent Clan "
" shall die without mercy!"
"Boom !"
With those final words, a Dou Zong powerhouse was obliterated in the sky.
Wu Tian had nothing to say to Yun Lan Sect's people.
Since they had dared to attack the Mitchell Clan, that meant they were his enemies.
Whether they had come willingly or unwillingly, it didn't matter.
His slaves were not to be humiliated by others.
Anyone who dared to do so… would die.
With just a slight tightening of his grip, the once mighty Cloud Ridge
A man who had orchestrated the empire's greatest crisis
Was crushed to death like an insect.
The sight was nothing short of awe inspiring.
Inside the Mitchell Clan estate, the people erupted into cheers of pure joy.
"So strong!"
"He's too strong!"
"Will we ever reach this level of power?!"
Even Dou Huang powerhouse Fa Ma couldn't hide the intense admiration in his eyes.
He was certain
This man…
Had reached a level comparable to his former teacher.
Meanwhile, Ya Fei's delicate eyes remained fixed on Wu Tian.
The young man who had once been her dear "Brother Wu", the noble heir of Wutan City
Had now become a ruler among rulers.
She had once thought that by becoming Clan Leader of the Mitchell Clan, she would finally be worthy of standing beside him.
But now…
She realized
She wasn't even qualified to be a mere handmaiden.
Even Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor himself, stood respectfully behind Wu Tian like a subordinate.
What did that make her?
A sense of bitterness crept into her heart.
Why… Why is my strength so insignificant?
Beside her, Imperial Princess Yao Ye found herself similarly entranced.
As one of the empire's greatest prodigies, she had always considered herself peerless among women.
Yet standing before her now…
Was a man who surpassed even her wildest imagination.
Compared to Wood Clan's so called prodigy, Mu Zhan, this man was perfection itself.
A true king.
However
While Ya Fei and Yao Ye were lost in thought
Wu Tian was entirely uninterested.
He only had eyes for his wife, Medusa.
As long as she was beside him, no one else mattered.
Not Ya Fei.
Not Yao Ye.
With a cruel smirk, Wu Tian turned his gaze toward the Yun Lan Sect disciples trembling below.
"Pfft "
A small, almost insignificant sound echoed through the deathly silent imperial capital.
All eyes snapped toward it
And in that instant, a Yun Lan Sect Dou Huang expert burst into flames.
No warning.
No resistance.
Within a second
He was completely erased from existence.
Nothing remained.
Not even ashes.
