In the sect leader's view, Ye Cangtian and the Poison Corpse Emperor were evenly matched during their fight.
At this moment, even an ant joining the battle could tip the scales of victory.
And as a Great Perfection expert, if he were to join forces with the Poison Corpse Emperor, they could definitely kill Ye Cangtian.
If that were to happen, even if the Five Poisons Sect were annihilated, he would die without regret.
The reason was simple: with Ye Cangtian dead, the Imperial Dragon Villa would be leaderless, possibly fragmenting and falling from its pedestal.
Furthermore, Ye Cangtian was also a Heaven-rank expert of the Hidden Group, and its future.
If he died, the strength of the Hidden Group would also be affected, and its future would be severed.
To be frank, trading one Five Poisons Sect for the decline of two major powers was not a bad deal!
"Hmph! Did I ask you to disturb him?"
Just then, a water arrow forced the advancing sect leader back.
The one who made the move was Nami. How could Nami let her opponent go to Ye Cangtian?
Damn it!
The sect leader, who was blocked, had a face ashen, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.
After all, the other party was a Heaven-rank expert. If he forcefully attacked Ye Cangtian, he might very well lose his life.
The most crucial point was that even at the cost of his life, he would not be able to achieve the desired outcome.
Helpless, he could only turn around and confront Nami first.
"Heh heh, Sect Leader, since you are so eager to duel me, I will give you a chance."
Ye Cangtian sneered disdainfully, then looked at Nami and said, "Nami, give me ten breaths of time!"
Humph!
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Nami snorted. If Ye Cangtian wanted to deal with the sect leader, then it was naturally none of her business.
Similarly, the sect leader also snorted upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words.
He roared, "Death God, what do you take the Poison Corpse Emperor for? You want to finish him off within ten breaths? Are you out of your mind? Arrogance has its limits!"
"Sect Leader, if I cannot defeat the Poison Corpse Emperor within ten breaths, then I will personally guarantee to let you go today!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and said faintly.
The sect leader immediately burst into laughter. In his opinion, no one could defeat the Poison Corpse Emperor within ten breaths!
One had to know that the Poison Corpse Emperor not only possessed extremely strong ancient armor but also had a terrifying physique!
Thinking this, he loudly declared, "Good, I will give you ten breaths of time. I want to see how you defeat the Poison Corpse Emperor!"
"Then watch closely!"
Ye Cangtian sneered, forced the Poison Corpse Emperor back with a move, and then unleashed a soul piercing attack.
The Poison Corpse Emperor let out a piercing scream.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian did not stop, and the Death Scythe in his hand was swung.
Instantly, the sounds of ghosts crying and gods wailing echoed, causing disorientation. Accompanied by a dragon's roar, the entire place fell silent.
Ye Cangtian had already stepped onto the dragon's head and was slashing towards the Poison Corpse Emperor.
Boom!
The next moment, an explosion sounded. The Poison Corpse Emperor's mouth opened wide, but no further screams could be heard.
As Ye Cangtian landed steadily on the ground, the Poison Corpse Emperor's body, along with its armor, instantly shattered into countless fragments.
This...
This kid has become much more monstrous!
Seeing the scene before her, Nami's eyes widened in disbelief, and she muttered to herself.
She had thought that reaching the Heaven rank meant she had caught up to Ye Cangtian, but she hadn't expected the gap between them to still be noticeable, and perhaps even wider.
On the other side, the sect leader stared at the Poison Corpse Emperor turning into dust and was stunned.
His mind was filled with indignant questions of "Why!"
Why had the Poison Corpse Emperor, who was just evenly matched with Ye Cangtian, turned to dust in mere breaths? He couldn't understand this situation at all!
Had the opponent been holding back all along during the previous battle?
In fact, it wouldn't be entirely wrong for the sect leader to think so.
When Ye Cangtian fought the Poison Corpse Emperor previously, he hadn't used his three major seals, and had primarily engaged in close-quarters combat.
Given the Poison Corpse Emperor's formidable defense at that time, the evenly matched assessment was indeed accurate.
However, Ye Cangtian had revealed his three seals later.
The Dark Seal had the effect of suppressing soul power, allowing Ye Cangtian's soul piercing attack to affect the Poison Corpse Emperor for a longer duration.
The Imperial Dragon Seal had the effect of suppressing the opponent's combat power, which would somewhat affect the Poison Corpse Emperor's defense.
As for the Chaos Seal, it was even more incredible. It could not only weaken the Poison Corpse Emperor but also enhance Ye Cangtian's combat power and mental energy attacks.
With this balance of power shifting, Ye Cangtian was able to defeat the Poison Corpse Emperor with a single, unmatched move.
Otherwise, if he had wanted to kill the Poison Corpse Emperor, it would have truly required considerable effort.
"Sect Leader, ten breaths of time haven't passed yet, have they?"
On the other side, Ye Cangtian turned his gaze to the sect leader and asked with a smile.
This...
The sect leader snapped back to reality. His face was flushed red, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"Since you have nothing to say, let's be direct and save time."
Seeing the other party's silence, Ye Cangtian spoke, then hefted his Death Scythe and walked towards him.
"Don't kill him too quickly!"
Just then, Nami's voice reached them.
As Ye Cangtian cast his gaze over, Nami spoke, "You've had your show, it's my turn. If he dies, won't I lose an audience? Likewise, ten breaths of time will suffice!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded helplessly.
Damn it, this mermaid is also so arrogant! She's treating me as an audience!
But what kind of grand show was she going to put on?
While the sect leader was still wondering, Nami's small hands began to wave in front of her, and streams of water arrows formed before her chest.
With a pointed finger, hundreds of water arrows shot up into the sky.
At that moment, a vertical harp appeared before Nami. As her delicate hands plucked the strings, beautiful melodies instantly filled the entire hall.
"What a beautiful melody..."
The sect leader muttered involuntarily. The moment he spoke, he realized something was amiss and quickly shook his head.
Looking around the hall now, he was completely stunned.
The elders who had been fighting Xueqi and the other two women were all in a daze, completely immersed in the music and forgetting about the battle.
And just then, the countless water arrows that had shot into the sky turned their trajectory and rained down like icy precipitation.
"Wake up! Dodge!"
The sect leader cried out urgently. These were all elders of the Five Poisons Sect. If they all died here, even if the Five Poisons Sect survived this ordeal, its strength would be greatly diminished.
As his voice fell, only the Second and Third Elders, who had slightly stronger cultivation, managed to regain their senses.
Upon seeing the sky filled with water arrows, the two of them cried out in surprise and quickly dodged.
However, due to being a beat too slow, they still sustained some injuries.
As for the others, they were not as fortunate. The countless water arrows instantly pierced through their bodies, blooming into bright red splashes of blood.
Ugh...
Xueqi and Bing Yao, who had been fighting moments ago, were stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Although they had learned from Ye Cangtian that Nami was a Heaven-rank expert, neither of them had expected Nami to be so terrifying.
In just a few breaths, she had eliminated the vast majority of the elders. In their eyes, her combat power was no less than Ye Cangtian's.
After all, Ye Cangtian would also find it difficult to achieve such an effect.
Thump!
Looking at the scene before him, with the majority of the elders falling dead, the sect leader sat down on the ground in despair.
All his trump cards had been destroyed by the Death God, and now even these elders had been killed by this Nami.
Currently, only he and the Second and Third Elders remained in the hall. Facing the Death God and his companions, they had no chance of winning.
Apart from the sect leader, the two surviving elders also showed no joy on their faces, only endless fear.
"Alright, my grand show is over. The rest is up to you."
Nami's voice rang out. Turning her head, Nami had already returned to the Qiankun Pouch.
Ye Cangtian smiled wryly and then looked at the despairing sect leader, saying, "Sect Leader, considering you are a hegemon of sorts, I will give you a choice!
Do you plan to take your own life, or do you want me to finish you off!"
As his voice reached him, the sect leader looked at Ye Cangtian with lifeless eyes.
After a long while, he sighed and murmured, "I thought the Five Poisons Sect would become a peak force under my leadership, even dominating the ruins. But I never expected it to perish under my watch!"
He paused, then continued, "However, Ye Cangtian, don't celebrate too soon. The Five Poisons Sect still has five halls! They will surely make you suffer..."
