The Elders were trembling with fear as they watched Ye Fan, who wielded the Slaying Blade, drenched in blood, their hearts pounding.

The three Elders, including the Seventh Elder, who were the first to leap out in a desperate attempt against Ye Fan, were killed by him.

Looking at the Seventh Elder and the others, slaughtered and collapsed on the ground, the hearts of the other Elders grew cold.

"Seventh Elder!" a sorrowful shout sounded, with two Elders mumbling about the deceased.

"Good riddance, they’re extremely dead, dead in a gratifyingly thorough manner," Song Tianba shrieked neurotically. To him, watching the Sky Net Elders meet misfortune was more important than anything else. He disregarded his own life and only thought of making the culprits who had caused him misery pay the deserved price, which was an extremely thrilling prospect for him.

"You lunatic," the Second Elder glared angrily at Song Tianba.

Ye Fan strode towards the Elders huddled together, retreating in fear.

He paid no attention to Song Tianba, ignoring him completely.

"Crunch!"

Another slash, taking someone’s life, and the Sixth Elder lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, blood flowing everywhere.

"Sixth Elder!" The Fifth Elder couldn’t help but sob, shouting at Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, you bastard, I’ll fight you."

The Fifth Elder charged forward, greeted by a Slaying Blade. Ye Fan effortlessly swung his blade, slashing into his body, severing his arteries, with blood gushing out.

The Fifth Elder died tragically.

"Prepare to die!" Ye Fan slowly radiated his killing intent around the Elders.

The Elders watched Ye Fan, whose murderous aura was overwhelming and unmatched, as his Slaying Blade swung down once more, pushing the Eighth Elder and Tenth Elder forward.

"Great Elder!" The Eighth Elder turned angrily towards the Great Elder, as it was the Great Elder behind him who pushed him out.

"Fourth Elder, you’re shameless," the Tenth Elder, facing the same fate as the Eighth Elder, glared at the Fourth Elder.

Two decisive slashes.

The Eighth Elder and Tenth Elder fell to the ground, dead beyond any doubt. Before dying, the one thing they couldn’t understand was why the Great Elder and Fourth Elder pushed them out to be slaughtered, leaving a bitterness in their hearts.

"You were just moments away from dying like us. Why did you turn your backs on us so ruthlessly now?" the Eighth Elder and Tenth Elder muttered in their final moments, leaving words for the other Elders.

One by one, the Elders fell to the ground dead, and Ye Fan’s Slaying Blade dripped with blood.

Soon, only the Great Elder and Second Elder were left, as the other Elders had become corpses.

"Ye Fan, Terminator, you’re too ruthless. Do you really need to kill us all?" The Second Elder laughed bitterly, foolishly complaining, making the Great Elder feel very awkward.

"Do you expect me to spare you?" Ye Fan retorted playfully.

"To spare a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Don’t you understand this principle? I advise you to stop the killing," the Second Elder admonished.

"I think your brain is broken. Are you having a breakdown?" Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and said, "How can you say such things? Do you know what you’re saying? Truly disappointing, the Sky Net’s Second Elder is of this character."

Song Tianba’s mocking voice echoed, "Second Elder, weren’t you always arrogant, ignoring others’ lives? Why now, you’ve become like this, begging for a chance to live? Kneel, hurry and kneel to beg, maybe then Ye Fan might show mercy and spare your life."

The Second Elder’s heart was complicated, after hearing Song Tianba’s words, he looked hopefully at Ye Fan and said, "Really? If I kneel and beg for mercy, will you really spare me? I really don’t want to die; I still have a lot to do."

"How can you talk about forgiveness between mortal enemies?" Ye Fan spoke coldly, "It was you all who kept pushing me, trampling on my limits, which led to this consequence today. This was your own doing. When Sky Net was strong, you all claimed control over everything, stirring up trouble, even scheming against me. Now, faced with this outcome, why display such a weak side? Where has your ambition gone?"

Facing Ye Fan’s questioning, the Second Elder paused, left speechless.

The Second Elder admitted he feared death; when Sky Net was strong, he had backing and could dominate confidently. But now, when there’s nothing left and facing a tragic death, how could he accept such a fate?

If there was a fraction of a chance to plead for survival, he willingly tried it.

"Sky Net being strong was my backbone of confidence. Now it’s finished; Sky Net is broken and faltering. My life and death lie in your hands now, Mr. Ye. How about this?" The Second Elder insisted, "I pledge allegiance to you, gather the remnants of Sky Net’s power, and follow your orders. Why destroy what’s left of Sky Net when you can control and use it? It’s a win-win."

"You’re dreaming a good dream, but unfortunately, I have no intention of subduing Sky Net. Having touched my reverse scale, Sky Net must be erased. Even if you hadn’t touched my reverse scale, with things reaching this point, do you think you could still live?" Ye Fan laughed disdainfully, "It seems someone is more eager than I am to kill you. You humiliated Sky Net; all the other Elders died bravely, except you, the prestigious Sky Net’s Second Elder, are a coward, truly laughable."

"What do you mean?" Just as the Second Elder questioned, a blade stabbed through his heart from behind.

The Great Elder acted as the killer. During the conversation between the Second Elder and Ye Fan, he picked up a blade from the ground behind him.

He plunged it into the Second Elder’s body.

"Great Elder, you..." The Second Elder’s face turned pale, utterly confused and enraged.

"Disgraceful, truly disgraceful. As an Elder of Sky Net, you should die honorably. Even in death, you should die with dignity. How didn’t I see your treachery before?" The Great Elder lamented.

"You dare kill me, you actually dare kill me!" The Second Elder’s eyes widened, his voice fading away as he collapsed, dying with unwillingness.

At this point, all the Elders of Sky Net were killed, leaving only the Great Elder.

He held the knife in his hand, the very knife that had just killed the Second Elder.

"The winner rules, the loser falls. I have no words. I have to admit, confronting you was a mistake leading to Sky Net’s downfall today. Yet, I do not regret; if given another chance, Sky Net’s hostility towards you wouldn’t change," the Great Elder looked deeply at Ye Fan, then stabbed himself.

The Great Elder died breathless.
