"Killing Move, Returning Wind!"
"Killing Move, Light Rain Kill!"
"Killing Move, Thunder Halberd Breaks Formation!"
The three Rank Five Great Masters didn't make a move unless necessary, but when they did, it was with powerful Killing Moves.
The wind and clouds changed color, the heavens and earth surged, and a fierce gale roared. A powerful oppressive Aura enveloped a hundred-mile radius, making it difficult for low-Rank Gu Masters to even breathe.
Zhou Qitian was fearless. Several Gu worms glowed on his body, quickly forming a Killing Move.
Endless flames surged from the Void Realm behind him, forming a mysterious ring. Flames wrapped around his limbs, creating what looked like substantial flame ribbons. His eyebrows, eyes, and hair all turned into fiercely burning flames, and an endless majesty shot towards the sky with the firelight.
At this moment, Zhou Qitian was like a fire god descended upon the world!
Boom!
The four Killing Moves collided violently. Another sun seemed to light up in the sky, dazzling brightly, causing countless low-Rank Gu Masters who couldn't move their gaze in time to scream in agony.
Within the enormous ball of light, tongues of fire suddenly burst forth, stretching wantonly, and in an instant, half the sky was illuminated by flames.
The high temperature distorted the Void Realm, and the blinding light made it impossible to look directly. One could only vaguely see the figure of an incomparably massive flame giant tearing through the ball of light and leaping out.
"You are not a Rank Five Advanced! You are a Rank Five Peak!"
"Zhou Qitian, what deep schemes you have! You actually deceived everyone! Ah!"
"Batuha, what are you doing!"
With a loud bang, the giant ball of light in the sky suddenly exploded!
A massive energy fluctuation instantly spread, bending all the grass and trees, pressing them tightly against the ground. Countless mounts wailed, forced to kneel, and the faces of low-Rank Gu Masters turned crimson, extremely uncomfortable.
Four figures suddenly separated. Two fell towards the direction of the three Families, and two fell towards the direction of the Zhou Family.
Everyone quickly looked closely, only to see that Kou Chi and Fu Ying were the ones who fell towards the direction of the three Families, but Wenren Yue was nowhere to be seen.
And those who fell towards the direction of the Zhou Family were Zhou Qitian and... Batuha!
Batuha was still holding a bloody head in his hand. The head's eyes were wide open, with expressions of terror and confusion permanently frozen on its face.
It was none other than Wenren Yue's head!
"Master!"
The incomparably arrogant Rank Five Advanced Demonic Gu Master Batuha, at this moment, knelt on one knee respectfully before Zhou Qitian, offering the head in his hand!
Kou Chi and Fu Ying's expressions turned extremely ugly. At this moment, how could they not know what had happened?
They had been tricked! Zhou Qitian had played them from beginning to end!
Perhaps Batuha and Zhou Qitian were once mortal enemies, but it was clear that Batuha had long since been subdued by Zhou Qitian in secret!
The story of Batuha ambushing Zhou Qitian and severely injuring him was all an act for them!
Zhou Qitian was not injured at all, and his true strength was not the Rank Five Advanced he had always shown, but Rank Five Peak!
Zhou Qitian had painstakingly laid out his plans, step by step, with interlocking schemes, deceiving everyone, all for today!
As for why he didn't directly attack and devour one Family after another with such strength?
Hmph, of course, it was because of the "Righteous Path's rules"!
The various Families of Northern Plains prided themselves on being of the Righteous Path, so naturally, they couldn't kill and annex each other without restraint like the Demonic Path. If they did, small Families would have no room to survive at all.
The various Families followed the "Righteous Path's rules," reducing much meaningless slaughter. When Families went to war, they usually found a grand and justifiable reason.
If they wantonly started wars and plundered resources without any reason, it would be tantamount to incurring public wrath and would be attacked by all Families.
Originally, the three Families had already prepared many excuses to release after destroying the Zhou Family, to solidify their justifications and silence public opinion, leaving the Zhou Family unable to refute.
Now, the three Families had initiated the war, which ironically became the Zhou Family's reason for military action. At this moment, even if the Zhou Family annihilated the three Families, it would be justifiable, and other Families in Northern Plains would have nothing to say!
"Slave Gu?" Kou Chi asked with extreme bitterness.
Zhou Qitian nodded, a smile appearing on his pale face for the first time.
Facing the attacks of the three Rank Five Gu Masters, even though Zhou Qitian's Realm was higher than theirs, he still couldn't avoid injury.
However, everything was settled, and this injury was nothing.
Slave Gu, an Enslavement Path Gu worm, could control a Gu Master for one's own use. To control a Rank Five Gu Master, one absolutely had to use a Rank Five Slave Gu to succeed.
Rank Five Slave Gu was incomparably precious and extremely rare.
"To think you could even obtain a Rank Five Slave Gu, our defeat... is not unjust!"
Kou Chi gritted his teeth as he spoke these words, then suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of fresh blood with a "wah" sound.
The next moment, he instantly transformed into a rainbow of light, traversing dozens of miles in an instant. Within a few breaths, his figure had disappeared!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he actually forcibly activated a Gu worm to form a Killing Move, abandoning the Kou Family army and fleeing!
By the time Kou Chi had fled a hundred miles away, Fu Ying had already reacted from his astonishment and immediately tried to escape as well, but he met Zhou Qitian's icy gaze.
"Do you think you can still escape?"
A chilling, eerie voice sounded by his ear. Batuha, the Great Master of assassination, had appeared behind Fu Ying at some unknown point.
Among the three Families, Wenren Yue and Kou Chi were veteran Rank Fives, both currently at Rank Five Intermediate cultivation.
Fu Ying was a newly promoted Rank Five in recent years, with the weakest foundation and lowest strength.
Therefore, as soon as Batuha made his move, he aimed to kill the strongest, Wenren Yue, while the three were completely unprepared.
And now that both wanted to escape, Zhou Qitian didn't want to prolong the battle and wanted a quick resolution, so he could only leave behind the weakest, Fu Ying.
Soon, Fu Ying fell under the combined attack of the two Rank Five Gu Masters.
After that, there was a fierce and grand battle.
The situation, with two of the three Clan Chiefs dead and one fled, had been completely reversed. The three Families, originally with an Aura like a rainbow, now had their fighting spirit utterly destroyed and were routed by the high-spirited Zhou Family army in a single battle.
Any Family Elder who tried to organize a counterattack would immediately be killed by Zhou Qitian or Batuha.
After several such instances, the three-Family allied army completely lost the power to resist, suffering a crushing defeat and fleeing in disarray. The number of those who attacked and trampled each other to death was not small, and countless were killed in battle or captured.
Subsequently, Zhou Qitian rushed to reinforce Elder Zhou Mang, who was besieged, but he was ultimately a step too late. Although he defeated the enemy army, Elder Zhou Mang had already died in battle.
Zhou Qitian gathered the remnants of the army, without any delay, and merged with the army originally left to guard the Family (Zhou Qitian had already used a letter Gu to inform the army to set off), then marched directly to attack the three Families.
First was the Wenren Family. Because they had not yet received news from the front lines, they were caught off guard, suffered a crushing defeat, and their Family stronghold was captured and completely annexed by the Zhou Family.
When attacking the Fu Family, the Fu Family had already received news and was somewhat prepared. Although they were eventually conquered and annexed, they still suffered considerable losses.
Finally, when attacking the Kou Family, it was discovered that the Kou Family had actually abandoned their Family stronghold. Under Kou Chi's leadership, they had led the remaining clansmen in a mass exodus, leaving only an empty shell for the Zhou Family.
At this point, the three Families were pacified, and the Zhou Family absorbed a massive amount of resources, their strength skyrocketing.
At the same time, within the Family, Rank Four Family Elder Zhou Mang died in battle, four Rank Three Family Elders died in battle, and countless low-Rank Gu Masters were killed or wounded.
Originally, among the three Rank Four Family Elders, Zhou Mang's faction was the most powerful. Now, with Zhou Mang's death, his influence waned, and the various factions within the clan gradually balanced and checked each other.
After this battle, internal and external matters were settled, and Clan Chief Zhou Qitian's authority within the clan reached its Peak. As the results of this battle gradually spread, Zhou Qitian's name also became famous throughout Northern Plains, gaining widespread renown.
Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Zhou Ming anymore, because at this time, he was already a thousand miles away from the Family, having started his third plot world... [Announce next mission information.]
