Chapter 538: With a Single Gesture, the Army Crumbles

At this moment, the disciples of the Six Great Sects roared with rage. Those who possessed magical treasures immediately activated them, while those without treasures elevated their auras to the peak of their power.

Their fighting spirit soared, as if their entire bodies were filled with boundless strength.

At this moment, the Gu Clan no longer seemed so terrifying in their eyes—in fact, they felt a surge of excitement.

Because this was their moment to shine. No matter what, they would make the beings of the Great Thousand Races sing their praises and glorify their names.

They were the Six Great Sects, who had prepared so thoroughly. How could they allow a mere human to steal the spotlight?

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Mu Longtian roared furiously, then turned his head and shouted at his juniors, “Show the might of the Ancient Dragon Sect and slaughter every member of the Gu Clan!”

At this moment, Mu Longtian—who loved to steal the spotlight—became wild with rage. His heart burned with fury at the thought of a human stealing all the glory.

Each time the beings of the Great Thousand Races praised that human, a sharp pain pierced his heart, as if something vital was being torn away from his very soul.

It hurt. It hurt terribly.

“Ahh…” At this moment, the beings of the Great Thousand Races cowered behind the disciples of the Six Great Sects, but when they saw the figure emerging from the dark clouds in the sky, they were all stunned with terror.

“Don’t panic! As long as we’re here, we will absolutely ensure your safety!” Mu Longtian saw the frightened expressions on the faces of the beings of the Great Thousand Races and allowed a faint, calm smile to appear on his lips.

They were scared now. Once they crushed these Gu Clan members, all the glory and admiration once showered upon the humans would now be bestowed upon them.

At this moment, Mu Longtian suddenly turned his body, fingers together, his white robes fluttering, his expression exuding supreme arrogance as he shouted, “Gu Clan, receive… receive… receive—”

But in an instant, when Mu Longtian saw the figure in the sky, his arrogant expression vanished completely.

The supreme confidence in his eyes was instantly replaced with terror.

“Despair Marquis!”

In the void above, a group of Gu Clan members floated in midair. Before them stood a child wearing a black fur coat, silently motionless, his cold face showing no emotion.

His eyes were deep and icy, and a single glance from them sent chills down one’s spine.

Standing beside him, Long Xuan’s expression slightly darkened. He looked toward Despair City, wondering where all the millions of Gu Clan members had gone. When his gaze fell upon Zhu Long, Long Xuan’s expression changed again.

What had happened? Why was there not a single Gu Clan member left?

The Gu Clan members standing behind them all wore savage expressions, and the faint auras they exuded were enough to send waves of fear through the disciples of the Six Great Sects.

So powerful!

“Mu Longtian, come back!” Zhu Long fixed his gaze on Long Xuan and immediately pulled Mu Longtian back beside him.

“Senior, this…” Mu Longtian swallowed hard. He had not expected the Despair Marquis to be so terrifying. Without even speaking a word, the mere sight of him made his entire body shudder with fear.

In his eyes, if the Despair Marquis truly attacked, he might be able to kill him with a single thought.

Zhu Long stepped forward, and the other twenty-nine elders followed, stepping out to shield the disciples behind them.

They had not expected the Despair Marquis to return at this moment, and even less expected that he would be accompanied by so many powerful Gu Clan members.

“Master.” Long Xuan looked at Zhu Long and finally spoke.

“Silence! I have no such disciple!” Zhu Long roared furiously, a flicker of sorrow flashing in his eyes before being quickly replaced by anger.

Upon hearing these words, the people of the Six Great Sects all changed expressions. They had never imagined that the dragon-clan individual following the Despair Marquis was actually Zhu Long’s disciple.

“Are you here to challenge my authority, Despair Marquis?” At this moment, the Despair Marquis finally spoke. His black fur coat fluttered in the wind, exuding waves of cold and sinister energy.

“This Despair Marquis… seems to be a dragon-clan member.”

“Yes, look at the twin horns on his head. That’s the mark of the dragon clan. But how can such a young dragon child be the Despair Marquis?”

“I don’t know either. The Despair Marquis has been legendary in the Gu Saint Realm for a thousand years, and this is the first time I’ve seen him in person.”

“Still, the Despair Marquis looks so adorable.”

At this moment, some disciples began whispering among themselves. The current situation left them astonished and confused.

At the same time, some female disciples could hardly believe their eyes. How could such a cute child, like a delicate porcelain doll, be the infamous and terrifying Despair Marquis?

“Despair Marquis, since you’ve appeared, today we will surely kill you!” Zhu Long knew there was no retreat left, only a desperate battle.

“Jiejie! The Six Great Sects, the insignificant beings of the Great Thousand Races—they really are restless! I never imagined that your stronghold would be destroyed by these insects. How utterly laughable!” The Gu Clan members around the Despair Marquis burst into laughter.

These Gu Clan members’ auras were no weaker than those of the elders of the Six Great Sects—in fact, they were even stronger.

At this moment, the disciples of the six great sects were roaring incessantly. Those who possessed treasures immediately unleashed them, while those without treasures elevated their own auras to their peak state.

Their fighting spirit was soaring, as if their entire bodies were brimming with power.

At this moment, the Ancient Clan did not seem so terrifying in their eyes; in fact, they were somewhat excited.

The opportunity to prove themselves had arrived. No matter what, they had to make the myriad races sing their praises and extol them.

As the dignified six great sects, they had prepared extensively. How could they let a mere human steal the spotlight?

“Fight, fight, fight!” roared Mu Longtian. He then turned to his junior disciples and bellowed, “Show the might of our Primordial Dragon Sect and annihilate the Ancient Clan!”

At this moment, the attention-seeking Mu Longtian became frenzied. His heart could not bear the thought of all the glory being snatched away by a human.

Every time the myriad races praised that human in front of him, his heart would ache fiercely, as if something important had been ripped from his soul.

It hurt, it hurt so much.

“Ah…” At this moment, the myriad races hid behind the disciples of the six great sects. But when they saw the figure within the dark clouds in the sky, they were all terrified.

“Do not panic. With us here, we will absolutely protect your safety,” Mu Longtian said, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he saw the panic-stricken expressions of the myriad races.

They were afraid. Once they suppressed the Ancient Clan, the glory that had been showered upon the humans would all be transferred to them.

At this moment, Mu Longtian suddenly turned around, his fingers pressed together, his white robes fluttering, and with an aura of dominance, he roared, “Ancient Clan, prepare to… prepare to… prepare to…”

In an instant, when Mu Longtian saw the figure in the sky, his dominant expression changed drastically.

The look of supreme confidence was now filled with terror.

“Despair… Marquis.”

In the sky, a group of Ancient Clan members floated in the void. In front of them stood a child clad in black fur, standing silently, his cold face devoid of any expression.

His eyes were deep and icy, and just a single glance was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Standing beside him, Long Xuan’s expression slightly hardened as he looked at Despair City, wondering where the millions of Ancient Clan members had gone. When he saw Zhu Long, Long Xuan’s expression also changed.

What had happened? Why were there no Ancient Clan members left?

And those Ancient Clan members standing behind them, each with a ferocious expression, exuded an aura that filled the disciples of the six great sects with fear.

So strong!

“Mu Longtian, come back!” Zhu Long’s eyes were fixed on Long Xuan as he pulled Mu Longtian to his side.

“Elder, this…” Mu Longtian swallowed hard. He had not expected the Despair Marquis to be so terrifying. Without saying a word, he made him feel a deep chill.

In his view, if the Despair Marquis were to strike, he could probably kill him in an instant.

Zhu Long took a step forward, and the other twenty-nine elders also stepped out, shielding the disciples behind them.

They had not expected the Despair Marquis to return at this time, nor had they expected that he would be accompanied by so many powerful Ancient Clan members.

“Master,” Long Xuan looked at Zhu Long and finally spoke.

“Silence! I have no such disciple,” Zhu Long roared, his eyes revealing a hint of sorrow, which was quickly replaced by anger.

The people of the six great sects, upon hearing this, also had a change in expression. They had not expected that the dragon following the Despair Marquis was actually Zhu Long’s disciple.

“Are you challenging the dignity of the Despair Marquis?” At this moment, the Despair Marquis spoke. His black fur robe fluttered in the wind, and a cold, sinister aura spread out.

“This Despair Marquis seems to be a member of the dragon race.”

“Yes, look at the horns on his head. That’s a mark of the dragon race. But how could a child of the dragon race be the Despair Marquis?”

“I don’t know. The Despair Marquis’s reputation has been known in the Ancient Saint Realm for a thousand years. This is the first time I’ve seen him in person.”

“But the Despair Marquis looks so cute.”

At this moment, some disciples began to whisper among themselves, bewildered by the situation before them.

At the same time, some female disciples could not believe that such a cute, porcelain-like child could be the infamous Despair Marquis.

“Despair Marquis, since you have appeared, today we will surely kill you,” Zhu Long knew there was no way out now. They had to fight to the death.

“Hehe, the six great sects, the myriad races of ants, truly restless. Despair Marquis, I never expected your stronghold to be destroyed by these ants. How laughable,” the Ancient Clan members beside the Despair Marquis laughed.

The auras of these Ancient Clan members were not much weaker than the elders of the six great sects; in fact, they were even stronger.

“Ants, I am Gu Xiao, son of the Mighty King under the supreme lord of the Ancient Clan. Today, you dare to challenge the dignity of the Ancient Clan. You shall atone with your blood,” Gu Xiao roared, and a fierce aura erupted from him.

This fierce aura filled the disciples of the six great sects with dread, for it was overwhelmingly powerful.

And the Ancient Clan members behind Gu Xiao all revealed cruel smiles.

“Don’t kill them, please,” Long Xuan looked at the Despair Marquis. Although there were tens of thousands of people from the six great sects, he knew they stood no chance against the Despair Marquis and Gu Xiao.

Because this Gu Xiao was a half-step Divine Heaven Realm expert.

Whoosh!

In that instant, Gu Xiao appeared before Long Xuan, grabbing his neck and lifting him high.

“Hmph, Despair Marquis, your subordinate dares to plead for these ants. Let me clean up your house for you,” Gu Xiao sneered, increasing the pressure, intending to crush Long Xuan’s neck.

Long Xuan’s face turned red; he was no match for Gu Xiao.

“He is mine,” at this moment, the Despair Marquis looked at Gu Xiao. His calm eyes seemed to hide two sharp swords. If Gu Xiao dared to act, he would die a horrible death.

Gu Xiao’s body trembled violently. After a moment of staring at the Despair Marquis, he finally snorted and released his grip.

“Hmph, damn it,” Gu Xiao was filled with boundless anger, hating the Despair Marquis to the core.

“Since you’ve come to Despair City, you shall all stay,” at this moment, the Despair Marquis spoke, then slightly raised his hand. The heavens and earth seemed to tremble violently.

“Little Guang, please spare them,” Long Xuan’s expression changed drastically as he saw the Despair Marquis take action.

“Haha…” the Despair Marquis suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with helplessness and despair.

“Ah!”

“I am so despairing.”

“Don’t kill me.”

At this moment, the disciples of the six great sects seemed to be invaded by something. Their eyes widened, filled with infinite despair.

Snot and tears streamed down the faces of the disciples of the six great sects.

The power of ten thousand armies crumbled in an instant as the Despair Marquis raised his hand.

Power, absolute power.

The elders of the six great sects all wore expressions of terror.

Truly terrifying.

This terrifying aura sent chills through the disciples of the Six Great Sects, for it was simply too overwhelming.

Behind Gu Xiao, the other Gu Clan members wore cruel smiles.

“Please… don’t kill them.” At this moment, Long Xuan looked toward the Despair Marquis. Although there were tens of thousands of disciples from the Six Great Sects present, he knew they stood no chance against the Despair Marquis and Gu Xiao.

Because Gu Xiao was a half-step Divine Heaven expert!

Whoosh!

In an instant, Gu Xiao appeared before Long Xuan, grabbing his throat with one hand and lifting him high into the air.

“Hmph, Despair Marquis, your subordinate dares to plead for these insects? Allow me to cleanse your sect for you!” Gu Xiao sneered coldly, tightening his grip, trying to crush Long Xuan’s throat.

Long Xuan’s face turned bright red, utterly powerless against Gu Xiao.

“He is mine.” At this moment, the Despair Marquis turned his gaze toward Gu Xiao. His calm, emotionless eyes seemed to conceal two sharp swords. If Gu Xiao dared to kill Long Xuan, he would surely suffer a terrible fate.

Gu Xiao’s entire body trembled. After a tense stare-down with the Despair Marquis, he finally snorted coldly and released his grip.

“Hmph, damn it!” Gu Xiao’s heart boiled with endless fury, filled with hatred toward the Despair Marquis.

“Since you’ve come to Despair City, all of you shall remain here.” At this moment, the Despair Marquis spoke, and with a slight raise of his hand, the entire heaven and earth seemed to tremble.

“Little Light, please spare them!” When Long Xuan saw the Despair Marquis begin to act, his expression changed drastically.

“Hahaha…” The Despair Marquis suddenly laughed, a helpless, despairing laughter.

“Ahh!”

“I’m so desperate!”

“Don’t kill me!”

At this moment, the disciples of the Six Great Sects felt as if something had invaded their minds. Their eyes widened, filled with boundless despair.

Snot and tears streamed down the faces of the disciples of the Six Great Sects.

The power of ten thousand armies collapsed in an instant beneath the Despair Marquis’s slightest movement.

Absolute power.

The elders of the Six Great Sects all wore expressions of terror.

Such terrifying might.
