Chapter 107: The Annihilation of the Iron-Blood Sect
"Ah… Xiao Chen, you killed them? Didn't you say you'd wait until tonight to act?"
Tang Ya hurried over, confused and startled.
"They insulted me. I couldn't hold back. And since there's no one around, might as well clean them up now," Ye Chen said casually.
As he spoke, he kicked the two corpses through the iron gate and shut it behind him.
Close the gates—beat the dogs!
Several Iron-Blood Sect disciples came out from the inner courtyard. When they saw Ye Chen and the two bodies lying on the ground, they froze in shock.
"Who are you—?"
Puchi!
Ye Chen teleported and killed them instantly.
These disciples were merely common soul scholars, most between levels 3 and 4, with one at level 11—but even he died instantly.
Before a soul master released their martial soul and soul rings, they were no different from ordinary people.
Before arriving, Ye Chen had already scanned the sect with the Heaven and Earth Infinite Eye.
The entire Iron-Blood Sect currently had 134 members. Many were out on missions, but the sect master, Tie Li, and his son, Tie Tang, were both within the compound.
Tie Li was the strongest. The rest included two Soul Kings as elders, three Soul Sects, four Soul Experts, and seven Grand Soul Masters.
To Ye Chen, anyone below Soul Emperor was nothing but trash fish—unless they managed to release their martial soul, they wouldn't last a single move.
As for Soul Emperors, they were slightly tougher—but if Ye Chen unleashed the Ice Dragon King, even they wouldn't survive.
...
The Iron-Blood Sect's grounds were fairly large, being built over the Tang Sect's old estate—prime property even within bustling Heaven Dou City.
Ye Chen strode in with Tang Ya at his side.
Everyone they encountered along the way died in silence, slain before they could make a sound.
To keep the blood scent from spreading, Ye Chen froze each wound after killing his victims, sealing the flesh instantly to prevent bleeding.
Then he tossed the bodies into nearby shrubbery and flowerbeds—effectively hidden from discovery.
Thanks to his caution, they reached the main hall without alerting a single person.
Just then, laughter rang out from a nearby residence.
"Hahaha, congratulations to young master for reaching level 42, becoming a Soul Sect!"
"Yes indeed, young master is truly gifted. Perhaps one day he will become a Soul Saint!"
"Hahaha, of course! I'm in a good mood today. Let's celebrate at Huafang Pavilion!"
"Thank you, young master!"
"Young master is mighty—hahaha!"
As the laughter died away, three figures appeared. Leading them was a burly man of about forty—Tie Tang, the Iron-Blood Sect's young master.
At age forty-one with a level 42 cultivation, he wasn't outstanding by Shrek standards but still impressive for an ordinary sect.
As they stepped out, they noticed Ye Chen and Tang Ya at a distance.
"Hm? New disciples?" Tie Tang's eyes lit up when he spotted Tang Ya.
A lewd grin spread across his face—two young newcomers, and lovers at that… how convenient.
Dozens of vile thoughts flashed through his mind.
But before he could move, there was a muffled sound.
Thud.
Thud.
The two men behind him collapsed on the spot, twitching twice before falling still.
"What—!"
Tie Tang's pupils shrank as terror seized him.
"Steel Arm Bear!"
In desperation, he tried to summon his martial soul.
But before the transformation completed, a sharp pain ripped through his lower back.
Ye Chen had teleported behind him—one swift knee strike landed precisely at his dantian.
Crack!
Tie Tang's core shattered.
The shockwave from the blow ruptured his energy sea entirely, then launched him violently backward.
"Ahhhh! You crippled me! I'll kill you!!"
Tie Tang screamed in agony.
The dantian was the soul master's core reservoir—destroy it, and the soul power scattered. The victim would become a cripple, unable even to summon their martial soul.
"Xiao Ya-jie, he's all yours," Ye Chen said lightly, turning back to her.
"Won't that draw attention?" Tang Ya asked nervously.
"No matter. If Tie Tang's father shows up, even better—saves me the trouble of finding him." Ye Chen shrugged, unconcerned.
"Alright."
Tang Ya nodded, eyes burning with hatred as she conjured a fine Dragon Beard Needle in her hand.
She clearly intended to torture Tie Tang—to vent the rage and grief that had festered for years.
After all, it was Tie Tang who led the assault that destroyed her family and massacred the Tang Sect disciples.
"You… what are you doing—AHHHHH!!"
As the needle pierced his flesh, Tie Tang's screams filled the courtyard. The tearing agony nearly shattered his mind.
Overwhelmed, he let out one final desperate roar:
"Father! Save me!!"
The next instant—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three powerful auras exploded from the inner courtyard, racing toward them at terrifying speed.
At the same time, dozens of Iron-Blood Sect disciples from all sides began converging on the area.
In moments, three elders flew into view and landed in the courtyard.
At their front stood a giant bear-like man towering over three meters tall, already in full martial soul possession, six soul rings shining behind him—one white, two yellow, two purple, one black.
It was the Iron-Blood Sect's master—Tie Li.
Though his ring configuration was mediocre, his Soul Emperor cultivation made him a regional powerhouse in Heaven Dou City. Few dared provoke him.
"Rebels! Release my son, and I might let you die quickly!"
Tie Li roared, eyes bloodshot as he saw his son writhing helplessly beneath Tang Ya's torment.
He dared not move—Tie Tang was his only son. No matter how broken he looked, as long as he lived, there was still hope.
"Hehehe… Sect Master Tie Li, do you really think that's possible?"
Tang Ya's cold voice cut through the air as she slowly raised her head, her gaze icy and vengeful.
"Wait… you! You're that wretched Tang Sect girl! Damn it, I should've crushed you like a bug when I had the chance!"
Tie Li's eyes widened in recognition, his fury twisting into regret.
Back then, he had seen her escape but dismissed her—a useless Blue Silver Grass spirit master couldn't threaten him, or so he thought.
He hadn't expected that, years later, she would return… with vengeance and power.
