Scarlet Flame's expression changed as he felt his legs sink. Under the pressure of the Poison Sect Master, he felt like he was about to kneel on the ground. However, he managed to hold himself back.
He took deep breaths as he furrowed his brows. It seemed that facing the Poison Sect Master was very strenuous and unbearable.
"Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to be stronger than me. A loss is a loss. There's nothing more to say. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I'll accept dying at your hands."
Scarlet Flame used the last of his strength to speak.
In front of the Poison Sect Master, it was truly too oppressive.
He knew that this day would come sooner or later. However, he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so suddenly. He wasn't prepared at all. If he had enough time to set up defenses and take precautions, at the very least, Evil Mountain wouldn't have been breached in such a short time.
"Ai."
The Poison Sect Master clasped his hands behind his back as he looked at Scarlet Flame with a weary expression. He sighed heavily. Even the surrounding people could hear the helplessness and desolation in his voice.
"Scarlet Flame, I can let you go. However, you can no longer stay in my ten great cities."
The Poison Sect Master spoke calmly. In the end, he valued relationships and couldn't bear to kill Scarlet Flame. After all, Scarlet Flame was his junior brother.
"Sect Master." When the Three Elders and Ten Pavilion Masters heard that the Poison Sect Master wanted to let Scarlet Flame go, they became nervous and immediately called out. Their meaning was clear. They had to kill Scarlet Flame and not let the tiger return to the mountain. Otherwise, the number of people who would suffer next time would double.
Everyone knew that evil cultivators were inherently evil. If they still harbored thoughts of revenge, with his terrifying cultivation of a Ninth Stage Martial Ancestor Realm and his subordinates, as well as the hidden forces under his control, it was possible that he could destroy the entire city.
"I don't need you to pretend to be a good person. I, Scarlet Flame, am not afraid of death."
Scarlet Flame glared at the Poison Sect Master with grief and indignation. Then, he frantically circulated his cultivation and unleashed a terrifying set of martial skills. A large amount of black mist emanated from his body and rolled endlessly, attacking the Poison Sect Master's defensive light barrier until it was on the verge of collapse.
Some of the Poison Sect disciples further away were also heavily injured by the Scarlet Flame Devil Art. A few of them had even died.
After all, their levels were too low. Even if Scarlet Flame didn't want to deal with them, the aftermath of the explosion could still destroy them.
"Scarlet Flame, you dare?"
The three elders and the ten pavilion masters couldn't help but roar when they sensed the situation around them. Anxiety was written all over their faces as they worried about the safety of the Poison Sect's disciples.
These disciples who'd gone through bloody battles were the best of the best. In the future, they'd be the Poison Sect's most reliable defensive force. Even the death of a single one was heart-wrenching.
"Sect Leader."
They couldn't stand it any longer and shouted for Poison Sect Master again.
The Poison Sect Master furrowed his brows slightly. He relaxed his clenched fists, then clenched them again. His expression revealed his hesitation. It was clear that he was very conflicted.
He wanted to kill the leader of the Evil Cultivator Alliance and destroy this scourge, but he also wanted to spare Chi Yan's life.
"Scarlet Flame, stop. Don't force my hand."
The Poison Sect Master was also angry. His heart was filled with anxiety as he roared at Chi Yan.
Back then, he and Scarlet Flame had been apprenticed to a master and got along very well. They'd grown up together for a long time and naturally had feelings for each other.
Perhaps only the two of them knew the best about the friendship and experience they'd shared for more than ten years.
"Heh heh …."
Scarlet Flame didn't show the slightest fear in the face of the Poison Sect Master's roar. Instead, he sneered and stared disdainfully at the Poison Sect Master. In any case, he wasn't afraid of death and felt that he'd lived long enough. If the Evil Cultivator Alliance he'd founded was destroyed, what was the point of living? Even if he lived, he'd be all alone in the future, a commander without an army.
"Senior brother, you're still the same as many years ago. Indecisive and indecisive. If it were me, I would've killed you long ago."
Scarlet Flame mocked.
While they were locked in a stalemate, a bitter battle was still unfolding on the other side of the battlefield.
There were still around two hundred evil cultivators left in the alliance. Their cultivation levels varied, but they were all working together to form a defensive perimeter. They were barely able to protect themselves, and the Poison Sect disciples wouldn't be able to break through their defenses easily.
Both sides were still clashing and people were dying.
Bu Tianlang, Liu Quan, Lan Jiaoye, Fang Zihan, Lan Jiaoye, Gu Qianqian, Li Qinghe, Gu Shanqing, and the others were all on the frontlines of the battle. They'd attacked several times in a row, but still couldn't break through the enemy's defenses. The evil cultivators had learned their lesson. As soon as a gap appeared, someone would immediately fill in.
At this rate, even if the Poison Sect won, they'd have to pay a heavy price.
"Brother Xiao Yang, what should we do? We can't break through their defenses at all. "
"That's right, cousin. If both sides continue like this, we'll also suffer heavy losses."
"Big Brother Xiao Yang, do you have any good ideas?"
These people had long regarded Xiao Yang as their backbone, so they all asked Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at the battlefield in front of him. Everyone knew that in a large-scale battle like this, no matter how strong an individual was, they wouldn't be able to affect the overall situation unless they were at Wu Zun's level.
He pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an idea.
He slowly said, "These evil cultivators know they're going to die, but they're still bitterly holding on. If that's the case, we should break their minds. Once their hearts crumble, it doesn't matter how strong their cultivation is."
"Oh? Then how can we break their hearts? "
Lan Jiaoye, Bu Tianlang, Fang Zihan, and the others all looked at Xiao Yang with interest.
Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Just shout that Chi Yan has been defeated, that Chi Yan is dead, and that those who surrender will not be killed. This way, in order to survive, their morale will be shaken, and their will to fight to the death will be shattered."
Fang Zihan, Liu Quan, Bu Tianlang, Gu Shanhe, Li Qinghe, Chen Zhifu, and the others' eyes lit up. They praised Xiao Yang for a while, then scattered and went to different corners.
Then, one shout after another rang out.
"Scarlet Flame has been defeated."
"Scarlet Flame has been killed."
"Why aren't you surrendering? Those who surrender will be spared. "
The slogans spread throughout the entire Evil Mountain.
The remaining two hundred or so evil cultivators who were still bitterly holding on were all moved after hearing these words. Even their hands that were holding on to their magic treasures loosened.
On the Poison Sect's side, the three captains of the Hall of Penal Laws led the attack this time.
Qiu Shanming, Nangong Mingliang, and Guo Xiangyang exchanged glances and saw the opportunity. They immediately ordered their subordinates, "Shout as well."
