Chapter 731: Please Sect Leader to Death

Jiang Fan gave him no chance to regret.

With a single swing of his sword, his enormous head flew into the sky, its face contorted with indignation.

"Ah! You deserve to die!" the three remaining Grand Elders roared in fury, attacking Jiang Fan's head and lower body simultaneously. They intended to deliver a fatal blow, leaving him no way to dodge or escape.

Jiang Fan casually swung his blood-red skirt at one Grand Elder, forcing him back. He then gripped the black medicine bottle that the little Qilin had retrieved and crushed it on the spot. Poisonous liquid instantly splattered everywhere.

The other two Grand Elders were startled and quickly retreated. "Are you insane?" they shouted. "Are you trying to poison yourself too?"

To their shock, the potent poison only turned Jiang Fan's skin a greenish-blue where it landed on his palm. Yet, on them, it rotted their flesh. In the blink of an eye, the faces of the two Grand Elders, who couldn't evade in time, began to decompose, forming black holes of decaying flesh from which black smoke billowed. The intense pain made them howl repeatedly.

"Ah! My face!""My fingers are gone, my fingers! Ah!"

By this point, everyone from the Giant Sect was numb with despair. Only two Elders remained alive. Of the Grand Elders, five were dead, two were injured, and only one remained unharmed. Such a tragic outcome filled everyone with profound sorrow and deep regret.

"Kong Yuanba!" Zhou Qingcang, clutching his rotting eyes, howled in rage and curses. "We told you not to kill Li Qingfeng, but you insisted! Are you satisfied now?"

The other two Grand Elders were also seething with resentment. "We all told you not to kill him, but you called us cowardly Grand Elders! Are you happy with the situation now? The Giant Sect's current plight is all your fault!"

Kong Yuanba was also shaken by the horrific scene before him. If he said he didn't regret it, that would be a lie. If he had known that killing an insignificant Li Qingfeng would lead to such catastrophic consequences, he would have never done it.

At this moment, he remembered Ye Cangyuan's warning: *Do not provoke Jiang Fan.* If only he had listened, none of this would have happened. But how could he admit he was wrong? Even if he truly was wrong, he would persist to the end! His eyes blazing with murderous intent, he roared, "What's the point of saying all this now? Kill Jiang Fan and avenge them!" He then glared at the disciples. "You bunch of good-for-nothings! Haven't you captured Xu Yining yet?"

"Soon, we've found the tools!" an older disciple said with hateful excitement. "Hold on, we'll capture Xu Yining right away!" Once Xu Yining was captured, they would see if Jiang Fan valued her life or his own!

Jiang Fan's gaze turned cold. He leaped towards the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain.

"Stop him!" Zhou Qingcang gritted his teeth and charged forward, enduring the severe pain in his face. Unexpectedly, just as he pursued, Jiang Fan suddenly turned back for a counterattack! A dark red spherical bead was forcefully thrown by him. It was precisely the Scented Corpse Pill he had found on Wang Chongxiao! This was a precious treasure from the Great Yin Sect that could even knock out Qingde, who was at the peak of the Ninth Core Formation stage. Zhou Qingcang immediately realized something was wrong. He covered his mouth and nose, intending to retreat. However, he was in mid-air, still rushing forward, and had no time to dodge instantly. He crashed directly into the Scented Corpse Pill.

"Explode!" With a soft command from Jiang Fan, the Scented Corpse Pill burst into a large cloud of blood mist. Zhou Qingcang covering his mouth and nose was useless. His eyes rolled back, and under the potent blood mist, he immediately fainted, falling stiffly to the ground. "Old Zhou!" The other two Grand Elders rushed to rescue him, but it was too late. Jiang Fan had already activated the Purple Sword, thrusting it towards Zhou Qingcang's chest.

And at this moment, a cheer erupted among the disciples. "Hooked her, pull her out, pull her out!" the older disciple exclaimed in surprise. They had tied an iron hook to a rope, snagged Xu Yining's ankle, and were dragging her out.

Seeing this, Kong Yuanba roared, "You little beast! If you dare to harm a single hair on Grand Elder Zhou, you'll never see Xu Yining again!"

Jiang Fan, however, ignored him. He commanded the Purple Sword to descend from the sky, and it mercilessly plunged into Zhou Qingcang's heart. The blade pierced through his chest and into the earth, with only the hilt remaining visible in his chest, vibrating continuously.

"You little beast!" The two Grand Elders were furious. They hadn't expected Jiang Fan to be so reckless even after Xu Yining was captured! Kong Yuanba was even more enraged: "Kill that wretch! Chop her to pieces!"

Jiang Fan didn't even turn his head. With a thought, the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain suddenly expanded a hundredfold, transforming into a hill. With a hum, the iron hook was instantly pulled away by the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain, for another major use of the mountain was to seize weapons! Immediately after, Jiang Fan moved his thoughts again, and the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain rose into the air, circling Xu Yining and sweeping through the surroundings. *Thump, thump, thump* The older disciple was instantly turned into a bloody mist by the impact. In addition, a dozen or so disciples were caught off guard and killed, and dozens more were injured! When the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain descended again, the disciples, still shaken, dared not approach the strange, colorful mountain. And they no longer dared to harbor thoughts of harming Xu Yining.

Jiang Fan looked coldly at Kong Yuanba, the two Grand Elders, and the two Elders. "There are already twelve sacrifices," he said. "Only five of you remain."

The Elders shivered with fear. The Grand Elders were also afraid. Kong Yuanba was filled with terror. Who would dare to believe that sixteen Grand Elders and Elders of the Giant Sect had been single-handedly slaughtered by Jiang Fan, leaving only a mere four, plus the Sect Master? The failure to capture Xu Yining made them realize even more that the tide had turned. And when Jiang Fan again pulled out several of those incredibly powerful Scented Corpse Pills, the few remaining completely despaired.

A Grand Elder stepped back and said, "Young Master Jiang, every grievance has its perpetrator, every debt its owner. It was Kong Yuanba who killed Li Qingfeng; you should seek trouble with him. I'm out!"

Another Grand Elder surveyed the bloody battlefield, which resembled a hellish Asura purgatory. He also trembled with fear and retreated, saying, "Right! It's all Kong Yuanba's fault! I once advised him not to kill Li Qingfeng, but he stubbornly refused to listen! This matter actually has nothing to do with us!"

Seeing that both Grand Elders were backing out, how could the Third Elder and Fourth Elder dare to face Jiang Fan alone? They all retreated to their side. "Sect Master, you caused this trouble; you should bear the consequences yourself! Don't let the entire Giant Sect be buried with you!"

Kong Yuanba was furious. He turned his head and roared, "What do you mean by this? With a great enemy before us, you choose to protect yourselves? Are you worthy of the deceased Grand Elders and Elders of the Giant Sect?"

Had he not said this, one Grand Elder might not have become enraged. "What right do you have to say that?" he snapped. "Why did they die? Wasn't it because of your obstinacy and self-importance that you killed them? You are a historical criminal of the Giant Sect!"

The other Grand Elder also had a face full of anger: "Kong Yuanba, commit suicide! Give Young Master Jiang an explanation, and the Qingyun Sect a reason! Consider it lessening your own sins!"

As things stood, the only way was to sacrifice Kong Yuanba to quell Jiang Fan's wrath and preserve a flicker of hope for the Giant Sect. Today's immense blood debt could only be avenged in ten, twenty, or even fifty years, when the Giant Sect rose again! At that time, they would surely raze the Qingyun Sect to the ground, leaving no one alive!

The statements of the two Grand Elders instantly made the Third and Fourth Elders understand their intent. The death of one Kong Yuanba in exchange for a chance for the Giant Sect to barely survive, to lay low for sixty years, then exact bloody revenge! The Third Elder said solemnly, "Sect Master, please commit suicide!" The Fourth Elder also spoke up, "Sect Master! Please commit suicide!"

The disciples throughout the hall, looking at the countless dead and injured Grand Elders, Elders, and so many fellow disciples, had expressions filled with grief and indignation. If the Sect Master hadn't insisted on killing Li Qingfeng, would things have turned out this way? They were all killed because of the Sect Master's reckless decision!

"Sect Master! Please commit suicide!""Sect Master! Please commit suicide...""Sect Master, please..."

Countless voices converged into a single will: "Sect Master, please die!!!"
