Phoenix Emperor
Chap 26's. The destruction of the Jade Lotus sect.

"Gather the disciples!" xu Jiang said.

"Don't give them a chance, take it all out until there's nothing left!" Shan Zhe Ming immediately gave the order to attack.

The Jade Mountain sect disciples who had been prepared to fight were directly attacking when obtaining orders, as well as the elders of the sect.

Xu Jiang who was worried about the sect disciples tried to obstruct the enemy forces, but his actions were prevented by Shan Zhe Ming who suddenly attacked.

Although in a panic and unprepared situation, Xu Jiang still managed to withstand Shan Zhe Ming's attack, but he was still hit back a few steps due to the attack.

"I'm the one you're supposed to be dealing with!" shan Zhe Ming.

"Shan Zhe Ming, I will not let you destroy this sect!" Xu Jiang pulled out a sword from his spatial ring, then darted forward to attack Shan Zhe Ming.

The battle between the two was fierce, Xu Jiang who did not want to waste time, used all his strength to defeat Shan Zhe Ming.

But on the other hand, Shan Zhe Ming only used half his strength, not even the slightest difficulty when facing Xu Jiang's attack.

"Haha! Is this all you have?"

The situation he was currently in made Xu Jiang confused, because as he remembered, his strength and Shan Zhe Ming did not differ much, it could even be said to be balanced.

But now, the gap between the two of them was clearly visible, it was even impossible for Xu Jiang to compensate for Shan Zhe Ming's current strength.

Despite that, Xu Jiang would never retreat or surrender to Shan Zhe Ming, as he had to protect his disciples from Shan Zhe Ming's hands.

Booms!

The explosion occurred when the blows of the two of them collided, but again only Xu Jiang was knocked back, while Shan Zhe Ming was still standing upright in his place.

In addition, fresh blood also seemed to flow from the corner of Xu Jiang's lips, which indicated that he had deep wounds from the impact of their attacks.

"Xu Jiang, you better just give up and I promise not to destroy your sect" Shan Zhe Ming said.

"Don't hope! Even if I have to die, I will still take you with me!"

"Formasi Teratai Giok!"

Xu Jiang formed a seal with both hands. A moment after, Shan Zhe Ming's body was instantly surrounded by spiritual energy that formed like a lotus flower.

"Destroy it!"

Dhuayarrr!

The giant lotus that locked up Shan Zhe Ming exploded and made a very loud sound, even the explosion to the point of shaking the entire Jade Lotus sect.

"Haha!" laughter rang out from within the puff of smoke blocking Xu Jiang's gaze.

"I used to be so scared of your technique, even my body always trembled when I saw you use it. But now, this technique is nothing more than a toy to me!"

Oh wow!

Shan Zhe Ming emerged from the puff of smoke and released an aura of such great power, he also looked fine and did not sustain any injuries.

Though, the formation techniques used by Xu Jiang were extremely powerful, even those formation techniques were capable of killing dozens of Yin and Yang realm cultivators easily.

"No way!"

"Now, it's your turn to feel my attack!"

Shan Zhe Ming disappeared from sight and a moment later, Shan Zhe Ming appeared right in front of Xu Jiang while getting a crushing blow on his face.

That loud punch left Xu Jiang flung tens of meters away, even the gates and some sect buildings were instantly shattered from being hit by Xu Jiang's body.

Not only that, Shan Zhe Ming then raised his right hand into the air, then in his palm appeared a ball of lightning with an enormous size.

"Death!" shan Zhe Ming said as he threw the ball of lightning.

Dhuayarrr!

A much more powerful explosion occurred when the ball of lightning struck Xu Jiang's body, despite having created a protective shield, but was unable to withstand the force of the blast.

In addition to destroying the building where Xu Jiang was sprawled, the explosion of lightning power also destroyed dozens of buildings in the vicinity, as well as claiming many lives.

"Oh, apparently you are still alive" Shan Zhe Ming said as he approached Xu Jiang, who was now helpless.

Xu Jiang's state was really very severe, both of his hands were shattered from trying to resist the ball of lightning, his body was also filled with burns from the explosion.

"If from the beginning you want to give up, your situation will not get this bad. But I appreciate your decision to fight to the end."

Not too long later, some Jade Mountain sect elders came to that place with the three Jade Lotus sect elders, the three of them were also injured but not too severe.

"Do you want to say something?" shan Zhe Ming.

"Xu Jiang, I actually don't want to do this, but what's the point of surviving in a sect that has been destroyed?" said the second elder.

Although he did not convey his point directly, Xu Jiang understood that the second elder decided to betray and join the Jade Mountain sect.

Unlike the second elder, the first and fourth elders did not say anything, because what they wanted to say was almost the same as what the second elder said.

Other than those three elders, there were over 200 disciples who eventually decided to give up and join the Jade Mountain sect, while the rest chose to fight to the end.

"Su-someday, you all will definitely get a reply" Xu Jiang said stammeringly.

"really pathetic. But fine, I will not kill you, so that you can wait for the impossible hope to come!"

After that, Shan Zhe Ming decided to return to the Jade Mountain sect, but before that, he gave the order to kill all the remaining members of the Jade Lotus sect.

In the end, the Jade Lotus sect that was one of the top sects in the Bei empire was destroyed within a day, and the news of the sect's destruction spread rapidly.

The destruction of the Jade Lotus sect certainly had a considerable impact on the Bei empire, because the Jade Lotus sect was one of the imperial pillars.

Even so, Zhao Yujin seemed to close her eyes and did not want to bring up the matter, as she did not want to lose the other imperial pillars anymore.

Moreover, the assault that the Jade Mountain sect had made happened so quickly and unexpectedly, that Zhao Yujin could not take any precautions.

And since Zhao Yujin decided to turn a blind eye, the other sects couldn't go any further, because they had nothing to do with the matter.

"Your highness, what about patriarch Xu's disciple?"

"When he comes back, I'll explain the situation to him, I'm sure he'll understand and understand why I'm not helping."
