Five hours had passed since the pandemonium occurred, total chaos shrouded the ground as everyone started to kill one another.
There are only a few patches of the ground that wasn't dyed red by blood.
Five hours, five hours of continued fighting, slashing, and stabbing at each other, pain multiplied many times over as the Fatal Blood Aspect coursed through their veins.
Out of the 90,000 of them, not even six hundred had died, only those that had been stabbed directly at their heart succ.u.mbed to death and the ones that were ganged up upon.
"Gyaaa!"
"Kuaack!"
"Just kill me already, please!"
"Mercy!"
"Waack!"
Cries and screams sounded as every one of them continued their fight, trying to kill one and hide!
Sadly, their dreams weren't coming to fruition, as soon as they killed one, another person will try to kill him, after all, who wouldn't want to aim at an exhausted person?
Although they are being healed, that doesn't mean that their stamina is recovered as well.
The more exhausted they are, the easier target they become!
Soon, more and more people will die, the more exhausted they become, the easier it is for one to kill them!
From the six hundred that died, their killers were also being pursued, nobody managed to hide!
"I... I killed, I can finally hide!" Excitedly, someone exclaimed as he sat on a corpse with his dagger stabbed right through the person's heart, he couldn't help but feel the rush inside his head as he stood up searching for a place to hide, but what he saw are three people making their way to him.
"N-no, I'm free now, I only need to hide, I only need to hide! ACK!" Immediately, the three ganged up on to him and started killing him, the pain is too excruciating as he shouted: "JUST KILL ME PLEASE!"
As the three killed him, they looked unto each other... 'Who killed this guy?'
They immediately stared at each other, a few seconds later, they started to fight.
The chaos unstoppable as each and everyone wanted to get a kill and hide!
That's their goal, but to do so, they found it impossible as a dagger stabs right through their chest or brain!
Mo Xie looked at them: "The true color of a human really does shine when they are cornered."
He shook his head and sigh.
Shang Ting meanwhile only focused on the Du Family and the Xiao Clan's affairs.
Du Mingzi is actually losing, being killed by his own son!
But inside Shang Ting, she couldn't help but feel that this is all too much: "Husband... should we..."
Mo Xie smiled at her: "If you want all of this to stop, I will stop them if you want it to continue, then, so shall it be."
Hearing his words, Shang Ting felt a little weird inside her, does she really want to pardon these group of people that drove her clan to death? The ones that destroyed her clan? The friends she knew of growing up?
Although she didn't want to, she felt that this is wrong.
"Husband... please enlighten me." Shang Ting couldn't really find an answer for herself, the only one she could rely on is Mo Xie, her husband.
Mo Xie nodded his head: "To these people, the lives of other people are mere ants, whether they kill someone or not, they are merely stepping on an insignificant being."
"If we didn't stop them... if I didn't kill their marching army, how many people would've lost their lives?"
Hearing him, Shang Ting looked at Du Mingzi and Du Hong, the two father, and son trying to kill each other just to live! Even the elders and their most trustworthy soldiers are fighting amongst themselves, they became divided, doing whatever they can to survive!
Mo Xie then added: "Let's not talk about the future, we count the number of people they had killed, not limited to the Mo Clan and the Gangting City, they had destroyed two kingdoms, killed many experts that they had overpowered with cultivation and numbers."
"All the women were used by the soldiers, the children slaves, the elderly as laborers."
"If I didn't stop them, they may already be halfway through the human race's territory, and who do you think was responsible for such an event?"
Hearing this, all the guilt inside Shang Ting cleared up, she nodded her head: "Yes, that's right, to those that do evil shall heaven's will their doom be."
Mo Xie sighed, heaven? Destiny? Fate? He doesn't really believe it, but he didn't need nor want to force his own ideology to others.
"You ungrateful bastard!" At this moment, Du Mingzi howls, three daggers stuck on his body as he struck his own son's neck with his: "Kill this unfilial child! NOW!"
At this moment, Du Mingzi howled, but nobody listened to his orders as the ones protecting him already dead.
Those that killed them are still fighting others and... in total, it became a chaotic fight where no one can really identify whose side they really are.
They are fighting for their own sake now!
To think that gathering his forces in a single location would actually backfire!
"Kak!" Du Hong screamed, his neck itching through the pain multiplied a dozen times, he pulled it out: "Father, just die so I could live!"
He used the dagger that his own father struck his neck with: "DIE!"
"KUAAAK!" Du Mingzi howled as the dagger pierced his heart.
Du Hong chuckles, his expression that of an insane person, but as soon as he was about to flee and hide, three of his personal guards struck him in his heart!
Du Mingzi although in much pain smiled before his eyes fell lifelessly.
"Y-you, you ungrateful trash! I'm the one that fed you and your families! H-how dare you- KUAAAK!" Du Hong died miserably as the soldiers continued to fight.
Almost all of them are already poisoned by the Fatal Blood Aspect, the pain is simply too unbearable for ordinary people, they wish to not be injured so much that they started to think insanely... so long as they can kill others, then, they will be safer.
They too had killed those that had killed someone, they know the outcome of escaping without cleaning the area!
At the 10th hour mark, the healing formation, the Xiao Clan suffered a much more grueling fate!
It was a ten versus a hundred expert of the Xiao Clan, he was dismembered so much that his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
The pain he suffered was extreme, at this time, they weren't even using the dagger anymore, pure brute force!
Mo Xie and Shang Ting watched the event without so much as blinking.
Shang Ting couldn't help but cry seeing the two people that were the reason for her clan's demise, her father's death, her sister's tragic story.
Her heart flutters as her whole body started to be wrapped by a greenish light.
Mo Xie smiled: "Your heart's demon1 had been cleared."
For a cultivator, to have a heart's demon, or in short, something they dearly regret or fear in their life is a huge demerit, it will slow down their cultivation, and in many cases, they will be stuck at the same cultivation rank until they die!
Shang Ting's body started to continuously absorb spiritual energy from her surrounding.
Mid-stage Immortal Foundation rank, peak-stage, pinnacle-stage... BREAKTHROUGH!
Shang Ting didn't even have signs of stopping as she reached Immortal Ascension rank pinnacle.
Mo Xie couldn't help but be awed struck, this is simply too great, he had never seen such an event happened even from his past life.
Shang Ting slowly opened her eyes: "Husband, thank you, I am enlightened."
Mo Xie nodded his head: "Well, there are still a few dozens who wishes to hide instead of participating in the chaos, what should we do?"
Shang Ting looked at him: "If they'd rather die than commit the same atrocity as the others, then, they should be spared."
Mo Xie nodded as he smiled: "As you wish." Is a mental blockade for cultivators, preventing them from cultivating with their inborn talent and is a hindrance to cultivation, slowing their means of breakingthrough.
