His eyes went bloodshot as he roared, "You bastards! I will avenge the Sixth and Seventh Elders!"
With that, Gong Yuanshan thrust out both palms, unleashing wave after wave of Qi from his Wandering Dragon Eight Trigrams Palm, mercilessly blasting Gong Yue Xue and Gong Lin.
The male Second Elder nearby was also overcome with grief. Staring at the familiar faces of Gong Yue Xue and Gong Lin and the flesh buds writhing madly across them, he cried out in anguish.
"Yue Xue, Xiaolin... How could you two have failed? Don’t worry. I’ll send these damned things down to join you, so your True Spirits can finally rest in peace!"
As he spoke, he frantically channeled the Qi in his body. His palms became a blur, unleashing palm strikes one after another as if they cost nothing.
The female Fourth Elder said nothing. Her face was ashen as she wordlessly circulated her body’s Huajin.
Everyone knew that words were meaningless now. The only true solace for the Sixth and Seventh Elders would be the complete annihilation of these demonic things.
They hadn’t joined Gong Jue’s attack earlier, not out of fear, but because they were unwilling to believe the cruel truth.
They clung to one last sliver of hope, wishing the Grand Elder had been mistaken and that the Sixth and Seventh Elders had only suffered some strange injury. That way, everything could still be saved.
But the wildly sprouting flesh buds and their inhuman healing abilities had already provided the cruelest, most undeniable answer.
In an instant, the four pushed their Wandering Dragon Eight Trigrams Palm to its absolute limit. Dragon roars raged and echoed throughout the vast, empty hall.
Innumerable palm strikes nearly filled the entire hall. In the next moment, the afterimages of their palms formed a wall and the Qi became a tide, rolling over Gong Yue Xue and Gong Lin with overwhelming force.
The two of them sent their palms flying again, unleashing the Qi from their bodies in an attempt to tear an opening through the all-encompassing assault.
However, against the full suppressive might of Gong Jue, a Late-stage Grandmaster of Huajin, combined with the joint assault of Gong Yuanshan, the Second Elder, and the Fourth Elder, their resistance seemed utterly feeble.
The pair was completely overwhelmed by the unending barrage of palm strikes. The attacks hammered into them relentlessly, splitting their skin, shattering their bones, and sending flesh and blood flying.
Then, great plumes of white smoke began to violently billow from the bodies of Gong Yue Xue and Gong Lin. As time passed, the smoke grew thicker and thicker, until it completely engulfed their forms.
Terrifying screams echoed from within the roiling white smoke. Only when Gong Yue Xue and Gong Lin had completely melted into two pools of black liquid did Gong Jue and the other three finally stop their assault.
Meanwhile, in a room within the Gong Family estate, Gong Ning sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, her eyes shut tight. Unseen by anyone, a current of heat was circulating madly through her body as she attempted to break through the bottleneck to the Grandmaster of Huajin realm.
But just as her focus was absolute and her mind was free of distractions, something else appeared in the room.
At this critical moment, Gong Ning could only circulate the Dark Force within her body even more frantically, attempting to suppress the feeling of unease.
But the feeling didn’t disappear. Instead, it grew stronger and more distinct.
In the next moment, her eyes snapped open, and she saw a dark figure in the corner of the room that had appeared at some unknown time.
The dark figure had no physical form; it was just a pitch-black silhouette. The most terrifying part was that it was wreathed in a black liquid visible to the naked eye.
Upon seeing this, a look of utter despair instantly appeared on Gong Ning’s face. "An Outer Celestial Demon!!!"
’I’m about to break through to become a Grandmaster of Huajin! I’m only one step away! Why, of all times, did I have to encounter these damned Outer Celestial Demons now?’
