Chapter 1831: Chapter 1825: Beat the Hell Out of Him

"How... how is this possible?"

On the battlefield, the inner sect disciples of Divine Profound Hall and Sunset Sect couldn’t help but pause their fierce battle and turn to look at the group of Sunset Sect apprentice disciples.

Each of them had pupils burning with blue flames, and the energy surrounding their bodies not only turned blue, but even featured deep blue light spots.

"It’s the Power of Qi Fortune!" Among those present, Xiu Miao had studied the Nine Nether Sunset Art the longest. Most people gave up after 5-10 years without gaining anything, opting to cultivate other techniques, but Xiu Miao persisted for 15 years, even sensing the Power of Qi Fortune during this time.

Unfortunately, in the subsequent steps, he couldn’t control the Power of Qi Fortune to circulate along a fixed path within his body and had to eventually give up. As for others, they hadn’t even had the chance to feel the Power of Qi Fortune before giving up.

Even from this distance, Xiu Miao could feel the power he had longed for dozens of years.

But while he could barely accept one or two people comprehending it, how could all these 8000 people gain enlightenment? Is this logical?

The fact is, up until now, fewer than two hundred individuals in all of Sunset Sect have comprehended the first and second layers of the Nine Nether Sunset Art. Its difficulty is well acknowledged, and the emergence of even one person who can understand a single layer every few decades is enough to set the entire sect abuzz.

As a result, everyone knows about the Nine Nether Sunset Art, but it’s become a legendary cultivation technique.

So when did the Nine Nether Sunset Art become so worthless and widespread? And the most infuriating part is, he can’t even use it!

"Could it be that the secret of the Nine Nether Sunset Art has been discovered?" Some had suspected that perhaps something was missing in the Nine Nether Sunset Art, making its cultivation so challenging.

Even the sect elders had doubted this possibility, as among the elders, those who have mastered it are extremely rare.

Judging by today, it might just be that someone among those apprentice disciples has grasped the secret of the Nine Nether Sunset Art, making it common for everyone!

"Could it be?" Xiu Miao’s gaze was fixated on Zhang Menglong.

Among this batch of apprentice disciples, the most peculiar figure is undoubtedly Gu Xiao from Yanlan Empire.

Ever since he defeated a core disciple of Divine Profound Hall last time, information about him has started spreading among keen observers, including Xiu Miao.

His growth trajectory resembles that of a typical protagonist, turning from waste into a super genius, if anyone is special, it must be him!

...

In a moment of stunned silence, the more than three hundred disciples of Divine Profound Hall were surrounded by 8000 apprentice disciples of Sunset Sect.

The previously fierce Divine Profound Hall disciples suddenly felt surrounded by a pack of tigers, with even their backs turning bright.

Of course, not every core disciple has seen the scene when Lei Poguan crashed into Divine Profound Hall years ago, many were not part of Divine Profound Hall back then, but they had been warned more than once that if they encountered someone practicing the Nine Nether Sunset Art, their first reaction should be to run, as far as possible!

But now they found they had no chance to run, more than 8000 apprentice disciples of Sunset Sect had blocked every direction around them, each one looking at them with a playful gaze, as if they had become the prey.

"Are Sunset Sect members always bullying the few with the many?" a Divine Profound Hall disciple said grudgingly.

"Bullying the few with the many?" an apprentice disciple of Sunset Sect laughed.

"Ah, you all are noble inner sect disciples, we’re just a group of mere apprentice disciples, of course we rely on our numbers, otherwise how can we stop you?"

"Exactly, aren’t you core disciples reputed to be able to fight hundreds alone? Now you’re only over three hundred, we’re 8000, isn’t that reasonable?"

"Ah, well, we’re just apprentice disciples, the most humble among Sunset Sect disciples."

This group mentioned ’apprentice disciples,’ each time echoed like a slap exploding near their ears.

Whose apprentice disciples are so fierce? Where have you seen a sect’s apprentice disciples overwhelm another’s inner sect disciples like this? Wu Yang just received a hit earlier, and now he’s still lying on the ground not waking, probably dead.

How have Sunset Sect’s apprentice disciples become so ferocious?

Isn’t the Nine Nether Sunset Art a Supreme Secret Technique of Divine Profound Hall, supposedly mastered only by a rare few, how has it turned from an elective to a mandatory course now?

"Why talk so much nonsense with them? Beat these bastards!"

"Yes, we’re bullying the few with the many, what can you do about it?"

"Leave 1000 people and try to capture this group alive. Inner disciples of Divine Profound Hall should carry plenty of good stuff, we can’t come empty-handed can we?"

"Remember to take videos, I heard from a senior brother last time, Sunset Sect has a rule, whoever beats a Divine Profound Hall member down and strips them naked in public gets 100 contribution points for a same-level reward, 1000 points for one level higher, and so on!"

"What? We’re all apprentice disciples, these people are inner sect disciples, two levels higher, doesn’t that mean we can earn 10,000 points?"

"Just remember to take videos for proof! But I wonder if beating the same individual repeatedly counts!"

... 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Hearing the unfiltered conversations among Sunset Sect disciples, those inner sect disciples of Divine Profound Hall felt their hearts shift from fear to despair, they understood well that with the tense relationship between two superpowers, falling into the opponent’s hands meant a dire fate!

Besides, this is a battlefield! In such a chaotic place, it’s not unusual to lose a few people, right? An all-out rout is totally normal, isn’t it?

"Alright, stop playing!" Zhang Menglong said, "Hurry up and finish the fight, capture all Divine Profound Hall disciples alive, and try to kill as many Legion Commander-level individuals from Xingyu Empire as possible!"

"Understood, Clan Leader!"

"Brothers, the boss has spoken, get to work!"

...

The Sunset Sect disciples, having used the Nine Nether Sunset Art, rushed into the enemy ranks like tigers, their presence even surpassing the 8000 Legion Commander-level individuals, making Xingyu Empire’s warriors retreat in defeat.

If they weren’t stopped, they might even charge into Xingyu Empire’s military base, paying the price of more than 2000 Legion Commanders to barely push back the apprentice disciples of Sunset Sect.

divine cultivators of fifth and sixth rank prior! This is an indescribable loss for a sixth-rank empire, it could even be termed a national calamity.

After all, among dozens of armies, there are only some 12000 legion commander-level divine cultivators.

In the midst of cheers, Xingyu Empire’s army retreated in disarray, capturing 496 of 800 Divine Profound Hall disciples alive. Up until now, this marks the biggest victory Shenxiao Empire has achieved, and also the largest victory for Sunset Sect in a direct conflict with Divine Profound Hall!
