The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2589: Killing Against Killing

Haotian City was unusually quiet at this moment. Only Ye Futian’s voice echoed in the sky above the ancient city.

On this day, the Divine Prefecture gathered here, as the six Ancient God Clans jointly issued a kill order to destroy Ziwei and kill Ye Futian.

However, at this moment, Ye Futian was standing above Haotian City.

One man alone to face down the six Ancient God Clans and all the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture.

“Renhuang in the Ninth-Realm!” The City Lord of Tianyan stared at Ye Futian, as did Wang Xiao behind him, his eyes fixed squarely on Ye Futian.

His cultivation was in the Ninth-Realm of Renhuang and it had not changed. The City Lord of Tianyan was a bit more relieved when he realized this. In the past thirty years, Ye Futian had been trapped by the imperial arms and had not had a breakthrough in his cultivation. If he had stepped into the Tribulation Plane already, it would be that much harder to deal with him.

However, if Ye Futian dared to come to Haotian City, presumably he had some plan because he was so confident.

“Seal the city!” The City Lord of Tianyan commanded. As soon as his voice fell, a terrifying aura bloomed from him, which soon covered Haotian City. Above the firmament, a divine matrix appeared, and it was the Heaven Tempering Divine Matrix.

Tianyan the Great had used this divine matrix as the foundation in the creation of the Heavenly Tempering Enumeration.

Not just him alone, but other cultivators were also taking action. The peak giants of all six Ancient God Clans had released their greatest abilities. Above the firmament, the boundless space seemed to be shrouded by a supreme will. The entire sky turned into a gigantic face, like Haotian’s will, overpowering the whole city.

“Since you are here, don’t leave,” the Clan lord of Haotian Clan said coldly. While he was speaking, the face representing Haotian’s will above the sky also spoke at the same time. The entire Haotian City could hear what was said clearly.

The clan lord of Haotian Clan’s youngest son had perished at the hands of Ye Futian, and that was why he gathered the six Ancient God Clans to issue a joint kill order. But, Ye Futian was bold enough to appear in Haotian City on this very day and start a killing spree of his own.

How could they allow Ye Futian to leave here alive?

“Why would I leave?” Ye Futian looked at the clan lord of Haotian Clan and replied.

Above the firmament, a supreme divine might now gathered. Everyone could see that Haotian divine shadow raising his hand and slamming it in the direction where Ye Futian was; it seemed to contain Haotian’s supreme will. At this moment, the cultivators in the entire city felt a tremor from the depths of their souls, and it was difficult for any of them to move.

As if they were being pressured with no room to breathe.

The city seemed to be frozen solid.

“Authority of heaven!” Countless people trembled in their hearts; this was the real authority of heaven, Haotian’s will.

A radiant divine aurora burst from that great handprint, which contained the might of heaven. The moment the handprint disappeared from the firmament, everyone inside Haotian City trembled in their souls, as if it was an apocalyptic attack that they had encountered.

Boom… There was a loud noise, and there was no way to see where the handprint fell. The divine light exploded in an instant, and the next moment, a massive handprint left its mark somewhere else in Haotian City, like a huge sinkhole. In that area, all the buildings had crumbled, and the cultivators who once stood there had turned into dust. No one saw how they died before they disappeared forever, as all traces of them were erased; no one knew who they even were.

All of them—dead!

The cultivators who were near the deep pit, survived by pure chance, shuddered uncontrollably. Those people were all dead. Many cultivators had gathered inside Haotian City. The blow just now must have slain a lot of cultivators.

The clan lord of Haotian Clan watched what happened with an extremely terrible look on his face. His eyes fixed forward, as he saw that Ye Futian was still standing where he was, as if he had never moved a muscle.

Ye Futian did not block the blow, choosing to disappear instead. The authority of heaven did not oppress him and could not lock onto him. After the attack landed, he returned to where he was, his comings and goings were completely untraceable and unpredictable.

It was precisely because Ye Futian did not block this attack that the attack was allowed to land where it did. Not only did it not kill Ye Futian, it killed those unlucky cultivators inside Haotian City instead.

“Because you tried to save yourself that so many cultivators died because of you,” the clan lord of Haotian Clan said coldly. His voice was full of indifference and rage as if it was Ye Futian who had killed those people.

However, it was he who killed those men.

Naturally, the clan lord of Haotian Clan understood that, but what could he do about it now? Today, it was him who invited these people of the Divine Prefecture here so he could make the kill order official. Now, he had killed these cultivators from the Divine Prefecture by mistake, so even if he knew it was his fault, what of it?

How could he admit it?

If he were to admit wrongdoing, then how would he account for the doings of the Haotian Clan?

Because even if everyone was here to witness it, and the fact was right in front of them, he would still say that it was Ye Futian who killed these men.

The cultivators in Haotian City said nothing when they heard his words, maintaining their dead silence. Ye Futian was a little bit astonished. Looking at the others, he said, “I can hardly believe there are actually such shameless people in the world like you. Did the Haotian Clan survived these countless years purely non the power of such outrageous shamelessness?”

Today, all those who were here were for the sole purpose of the kill order. Should he even care about the lives of these people?

If the clan lord of Haotian Clan didn’t care, why should he?

The expressions of those giant figures from the six Ancient God Clans did not look very good. Ye Futian showed up here as if he was holding the cultivators of the entire Haotian City hostage. With his Buddha’s Celerity, unless an attack on a massive scale was carried out to destroy this entire area, there was almost no other way Ye Futian could be killed.

If he choose to attack this way, he would endanger the entire Haotian City.

In Haotian City, a lot more people were going to die. The intensity of the kind of attack that could kill Ye Futian was not likely to be survivable by people inside Haotian City.

No one dared to go ahead with a plan like that.

But, at this moment, a powerful aura of the Great Path appeared in the area surrounding Ye Futian, attempting to superimpose his surroundings with this domain of the Great Path. However, nothing inside the entire Haotian City could escape Ye Futian’s sharp perception. A sarcastic amusement appeared in his eyes as his body disappeared directly from where he was standing.

In the next moment, he appeared in a place beneath Haotian City. Here, there were cultivators from a major principality in Nantian Domain—a part of the Divine Prefecture. Just now, they had chanted the threats of destroying Ziwei.

They saw Ye Futian suddenly appeared in front of them, and their expressions changed to one with horror. In the next moment, they felt it was difficult for them to move, as the entire space was absolutely frozen. All around them, the divine splendor of the space was shining, along with an extreme sense of coldness. Follow current s on ɴovelFɪre.net

“Destroy Ziwei, kill Ye Futian!” Ye Futian spat. In the next moment, the space where all these cultivators were in front of him was shattered. Blood spurted everywhere as this group of cultivators was obliterated by a thought, dead, nothing remaining.

Everyone around them only felt an unspeakable horror as they paled. After Ye Futian had slaughtered these people, he disappeared again and reappeared somewhere else. It was impossible to lock on his location.

After the second tribulation, Ye Futian’s Buddha’s Celerity was approaching perfection, and he could do whatever he wished. How could he possibly be locked down by anyone?

Above the sky, Ye Futian stood there, surveying the crowd. Then he said coldly, “When I cultivated in the Original Realm, I had not offended anyone. But, disasters came from the heavens nonetheless, as the powers of the Divine Prefecture coveted the divine treasures and tried to assassinate me many times. Now, they even issued a kill order. This being the case, anyone who agreed to the kill order, let me tell you this: no matter where you are, I will end you. If you dare to harm my people in the Ziwei Segmentum for your own gain and are willing to harm the innocent to get it, don’t blame me for my ruthlessness and destroy you and your clan!”

“From today on, only killing can stop killing!” Ye Futian’s icy voice resounded through the space and gave everyone chills.

Today, Haotian Clan had issued a kill order which was without restrictions, and took effect immediately. People from Ziwei Segmentum would be killed indiscriminately.

Therefore, he could only employ the most ruthless means in return to ward off these cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. To stop killing by killing, so that no one would be so bold as to risk responding to the kill order.

Just as Ye Futian’s voice faded, the terrifying spatial divine light descended right away, flooding that space in an instant, tearing up that space into pieces, as if everyone in this space was condemned to die.

However, Ye Futian’s figure appeared in another area, still beneath Haotian City. With a wave of his hand, he claimed the lives of some more people—another group of cultivators who had clamored to destroy Ziwei not too long ago.

It seemed that for whoever dared touch him, he would retaliate immediately and unequivocally.

The person who made a move before was the clan lord of the Ancient God Clan of Jiang. His face had a terrible look as he witnessed this scene. Ye Futian’s keen perception was terrifying beyond imagination. As soon as his will arrived, his attack followed instantly, but Ye Futian had somehow managed to evade it immediately. This kind of precision attacks could not touch him at all to even hurt him, so their only choice was to sequester a large area to trap him within.

For instance, they had sealed off the entire Haotian City at this moment, and they could launched a destructive attack on the entire Haotian City.

But who would dare to do this?

Ye Futian’s figure, once again, appeared in the void, facing them as he said, “You still won’t unseal Haotian City? Those who threatened to destroy Ziwei and kill me, remember that your faces are all imprinted in my mind. As long as I am inside Haotian City, I will slowly settle these accounts with you. Since you all claimed that I killed indiscriminately and you wanted to punish me for it, your wish is granted. Let’s see how the six Ancient God Clans want to handle this.”

The cultivators in Haotian City trembled when they heard Ye Futian’s declaration, especially the cultivators who responded to the killing order with much enthusiasm before; they were now sorely afraid.

Today, Ye Futian would stop killing by killing. In this sealed off ancient city, he would massacre anyone who had threatened to destroy Ziwei and kill Ye Futian.

And Haotian City was sealed off by the six Ancient God Clans. Ye Futian couldn’t get out, but neither could anyone else. However, within the sealed city, no one was able to do anything to Ye Futian.

No one could have imagined that this was the situation they were facing. He came alone to face the peak giants of the six Ancient God Clans, as well as countless cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. He had launched a killing spree inside Haotian City, yet no one could stop him.

The clan lord of Haotian Clan and the other five cultivators looked pretty bad, and they were hesitating. If they were to release the seal, he could escape at any time with Ye Futian’s ability. It would almost be impossible for them to find a similar opportunity to kill Ye Futian.

Today, Ye Futian came to slaughter them, but it was also the best chance to kill him. Would all six Ancient God Clans relent on the imprisonment and let Ye Futian leave?

Everyone in Haotian City was watching this!
