Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 403: The Moment of Life and Death

Chu Li, the Sect Leader, had spoken, so naturally, Sun Huacang and Song Qing dared not say more.

"Sect Leader, I heard that Ruoxie has already joined the Black Dragon Guard and is currently hunting Evil Demons in the Outer Battlefield."

Xiao Jingyu looked at Chu Li and spoke.

"If we inform the Black Dragon Guard of this, do you think it might resolve the current crisis of the Celestial Sword Sect?"

Chu Li's eyes brightened, then he spoke to Xiao Jingyu.

He knew very well that even if the entire force of the Celestial Sword Sect were used, it could never match the Golden Armor Imperial Guard, not to mention having someone as terrifying as Marquis Wu personally overseeing it.

"Although Ruoxie is a Chiliarch of the Black Dragon Guard, why would the Black Dragon Guard offend Marquis Wu, Zhuge Junxiong, for a mere Low Tier leader?"

Xiao Jingyu smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and said.

Moreover, unless the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Guard came personally, it would be impossible to stop Zhuge Junxiong.

However, the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Guard is such an esteemed existence, how could he wage a war for a mere Chiliarch?

"Alas... Is today the day my Celestial Sword Sect meets its end?"

Chu Li sighed heavily and said.

"Then we shall fight them. No matter how strong the Golden Armor Imperial Guard is, what does my Celestial Sword Sect have to fear? At worst, we'll go down together with them."

A Celestial Sword Sect Elder spoke suddenly.

"Indeed, let's fight them. Even if we die, we must take some Golden Armor Imperial Guard with us."

"I've long heard that the Golden Armor Imperial Guard is second only to the Black Dragon Guard. I want to see if they are truly that strong."

Upon hearing the Elder's words, the senior members of the Celestial Sword Sect also echoed their agreement.

"We are willing to live and die with the Celestial Sword Sect."

Song Qing, Bing Ling, and other young elites of the Celestial Sword Sect also spoke up.

However, the newly joined talented disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect remained silent, their eyes flickering with a strange light.

"Sect Leader, forgive my bluntness, but is it truly worth sacrificing tens of thousands of people in the Celestial Sword Sect for one person?"

Sun Huacang cupped his hands towards Chu Li and spoke.

"It's worth it."

Chu Li fixed his gaze on Sun Huacang and then nodded, saying, "Without Ruoxie, my Celestial Sword Sect would have long ceased to exist. Moreover, without him, our sect wouldn't have been able to stand on such a treasured land, nor would everyone be able to have a Purple Thunder Bamboo Sword."

"Ruoxie's contribution to my Celestial Sword Sect is unmatched by anyone, not even me as the Sect Leader. So, I don't want to hear anyone questioning him anymore."

Hearing Chu Li's words, a strange light flickered in Sun Huacang's eyes, but he said nothing further.

"Boom..."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the space, and everyone could feel the entire world tremble violently.

"The Sect Defense Array has been breached."

Xiao Jingyu's expression stiffened as he spoke.

Although Wang Ruoxie had set up the Sect Defense Array for the Celestial Sword Sect before leaving, it was still hard to withstand Zhuge Junxiong's attacks.

Even the Annihilation Cannon left by Wang Ruoxie could not stop Zhuge Junxiong's advance.

Because Zhuge Junxiong is not at the rumored Peak Purple Mansion Realm, but the Peak Pocket World Realm.

"Let's go, we must all head out to face the enemy. If that Marquis Wu truly intends to destroy my Celestial Sword Sect, we will not sit idly by but will fight to the end."

Chu Li spoke to everyone.

Immediately, they walked out of the main hall.

When Chu Li and the others came out, all the disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect gathered behind them.

At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers in golden battle armor had already surrounded the entire Celestial Sword Sect, leaving no gap.

Evidently, these were the Golden Armor Imperial Guards of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, second only to the Black Dragon Guard.

Ninety percent of the Golden Armor Imperial Guard possess cultivation in the Purple Mansion Realm, emitting an aura of tangible killing intent, signifying they were battle-hardened military elites.

At the forefront stood a white-haired elder clad in Purple Gold Flowing Cloud Armor, emitting an overwhelmingly vast aura. Even though he stood there silently, Chu Li and the others felt immense pressure.

Chu Li and his companions focused their gaze on the white-haired elder, knowing that this was Marquis Wu, Zhuge Junxiong.

"Are you the Sect Leader of this Celestial Sword Sect?"

Zhuge Junxiong glanced indifferently at Chu Li and spoke.

"I am."

Chu Li slightly nodded and said, "Marquis Wu, leading an army here, may I know your purpose?"

"No need to feign ignorance. The reason I, this old man, am here today is to annihilate your entire Celestial Sword Sect."

Zhuge Junxiong slowly uttered a cold remark.

As his words fell, a terrifying aura filled with endless killing intent enveloped Chu Li and the tens of thousands of Celestial Sword Sect members, making them feel as if suffocating.

Pausing for a moment, Zhuge Junxiong spoke again: "However, heaven has virtue in living, and I am not one who enjoys slaughter. If anyone wishes to leave the Celestial Sword Sect on their own accord now, I will permit them to leave safely."

Hearing Zhuge Junxiong's words, the disciples from the Eastern Domain showed no reaction. To them, the Celestial Sword Sect was their home, and if their home was lost, what meaning would life hold?

However, for those who recently joined the Celestial Sword Sect, the sect was merely a place to cultivate Martial Arts and naturally didn't evoke much sense of belonging.

Furthermore, most of them were from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, and they greatly feared Marquis Wu and the Golden Armor Imperial Guard.

"Sect Leader, I apologize, but I, Sun Huacang, do not wish to die in vain for an arrogant individual."

After a moment of silence, Sun Huacang suddenly turned to Chu Li and said.

"Indeed, Sect Leader, we are not afraid of death, but we do not want to die in vain due to someone's personal vendetta."

"Why should we pay with our lives for the mistakes of one person?"

The recently joined disciples also spoke up one after another.

"If that's the case, then you may leave my Celestial Sword Sect."

Chu Li cast a cold glance at Sun Huacang and the others and spoke.

"Sect Leader."

Xiao Jingyu looked at Chu Li with some confusion.

"They do not have true loyalty to my Celestial Sword Sect. Even if we force them to stay, it is meaningless."

Chu Li smiled faintly and said.

"Thank the Sect Leader for granting this."

Sun Huacang and the others cupped their hands slightly towards Chu Li and then stepped out of the Celestial Sword Sect's ranks.

Nearly all the newly joined disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect chose to leave, leaving only a few who remained to stand with the Celestial Sword Sect to the end.

However, Sun Huacang and the others did not leave outright but stood at a distance, seemingly waiting to see the Celestial Sword Sect's fate.

"Since you all wish to die, then I shall grant your wish. Exterminate them all, leave none."

Zhuge Junxiong's gaze landed on Chu Li and the others, and he coldly ordered.

"Yes!"

Tens of thousands of Golden Armor Imperial Guards responded in unison.

"Kill, kill..."

In an instant, the sounds of killing shook the heavens as the tens of thousands of Golden Armor Imperial Guards charged simultaneously to surround and slaughter Chu Li and the others.

"Then let's fight them, kill!"

The members of the Celestial Sword Sect also charged into the fray.
