Although Wang Ruoxie had stepped off the Soul Boat, the Blood Demon Sect members, including the masked man, dared not act recklessly.

The recent rounds of cannon fire had thoroughly intimidated them.

Even the masked man with Third Layer Cultivation in the Acupoint Condensation Realm didn't believe he could withstand the blast of the Inscribed Cannon.

At this moment, Shao Yongyuan was already in front of Wang Ruoxie, his fist about to strike Wang Ruoxie's body.

"Ha ha... Die!"

Shao Yongyuan let out a manic laugh, as if he could already see Wang Ruoxie being struck dead by his punch.

Back when Wang Ruoxie was still in the Celestial Sword Sect, Shao Yongyuan had tried every means to kill him; if not for Xiao Jingyu and Chu Li interfering, he might have succeeded long ago.

Now, he could finally avenge his disciple.

"It's you who will die."

Wang Ruoxie slowly uttered, then pointed with a single finger.

Instantly, a dazzling silver light burst forth, and his finger turned completely silver, carrying terrifying power as it stabbed towards Shao Yongyuan's fist.

Star Shattering Finger!

With Wang Ruoxie's current cultivation power, the Star Shattering Finger, though unable to truly shatter stars, might be too much even for someone at half-step Acupoint Condensation Realm, or even the true First Layer of that realm, to withstand.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Wang Ruoxie's silver finger stabbed fiercely into Shao Yongyuan's fist.

In the next moment, everyone saw Shao Yongyuan's fist get pierced instantly, and even his whole arm shattered, blood gushing out like a fountain.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream escaped Shao Yongyuan's mouth.

"Now I will cleanse the sect, die!"

Wang Ruoxie did not stop, his silver finger continuing to stab towards Shao Yongyuan.

"Sizzle!"

With a soft sound, Wang Ruoxie's finger directly pierced through Shao Yongyuan's body.

Shao Yongyuan's strength was far inferior to Wang Ruoxie's. After losing an arm, he was gravely injured and could not resist or even dodge.

Before the shocked gazes of everyone, Shao Yongyuan's entire body shattered instantly into a pile of gore, his end as desolate as those dozens killed by the masked man earlier.

"Well done, this shameless traitor deserved such an end."

"How satisfying, that traitor is finally dead."

After a brief silence, cheers erupted from the Celestial Sword Sect crowd.

When Shao Yongyuan defected to the Blood Demon Sect, many had cursed him, predicting he would have a miserable end.

Few expected retribution to come so swiftly; had Shao Yongyuan foreseen this outcome, he might not have made such a choice.

As for Wang Ruoxie's strength, the crowd now had a clearer understanding.

"Though he only has Eighth Layer Cultivation in the Essence Pill Realm, his real power might rival the First Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, or even surpass it."

The masked man's eyes were fixed on Wang Ruoxie, murmuring.

"Vice Sect Leader, what do we do now?"

Tang Xuansi asked the masked man with a grim expression.

He had thought he could avenge his nephew Tang Liren this time, but didn't anticipate Wang Ruoxie's overwhelming strength, leaving him with no confidence to contend against him, even with his own First Layer Cultivation in the Acupoint Condensation Realm.

"All together, kill him."

After a moment's thought, a glint of coldness flashed in the masked man's blood-red eyes. "Before he returns to that battleship, eliminate him with full force."

He believed that no matter how strong Wang Ruoxie was, he couldn't be his match, especially with Tang Xuansi and nearly a thousand others fighting as one.

If they could kill him, the powerful battleship in the void would be theirs, elevating his status in the Blood Demon Sect significantly, potentially making him the top Vice Sect Leader, second only to the Sect Leader.

"Yes."

Tang Xuansi and the others agreed.

"Wang Ruoxie, die."

Tang Xuansi shouted as his figure charged towards Wang Ruoxie.

The other Blood Demon Sect powerhouses wasted no time and moved to encircle Wang Ruoxie.

The masked man trembled and appeared right between Wang Ruoxie and the Soul Boat, preventing his retreat.

Numerous attacks, glowing in dazzling colors, carried terrifying power, seemingly about to engulf Wang Ruoxie.

"Wang Ruoxie, get out of the way."

"Ruoxie, be careful..."

The Celestial Sword Sect members turned pale, with Xiao Ningyue on the verge of stepping in to aid.

In their eyes, despite Wang Ruoxie's formidable power, he couldn't withstand near a thousand Blood Demon Sect elites attacking simultaneously, especially with Tang Xuansi of the First Layer and the masked man of the Third Layer Cultivation in Acupoint Condensation Realm among them.

Yet, facing the encircling of nearly a thousand Blood Demon Sect elites, Wang Ruoxie remained still, a disdainful smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"You aren't qualified to kill me."

Wang Ruoxie sneered.

In the past, even when facing countless powerful adversaries from the Three Realms, he remained unflustered, let alone now against this mere thousand.

"All of you, perish."

With a light command from Wang Ruoxie, a terrifying aura surged from the battleship above.

"Not good... run."

Feeling the terrifying aura, fear flickered in the masked man's blood-red eyes. Without a moment's hesitation, he turned into a series of blood-colored phantoms fleeing into the distance.

He knew clearly that if he didn't escape, he would be blasted to bits by that inscribed cannon.

Fortunately, being close to the Soul Boat, he was the first to sense the energy emanating from the Inscribed Cannon; otherwise, once it was fully charged, he would have had no chance to escape.

But Tang Xuansi and the near thousand other Blood Demon Sect members weren't so lucky; by the time they sensed the terrifying energy, it was too late to flee.

"Boom!"

The gigantic light mass, imbued with dreadful power, swallowed Tang Xuansi and nearly a thousand Blood Demon Sect members in an instant; they vanished into nothingness without even time to scream.

The Annihilation Level Inscribed Cannon, when fully unleashed, could challenge even Martial Cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm, and at its peak, threaten those of the Pocket World Realm.

Although this cannon shot's power was less than one percent of the Inscribed Cannon's true might, it was enough to annihilate Tang Xuansi and the rest instantly.

"Hiss... what a terrifying inscribed cannon."

Witnessing the dreadful power of the Annihilation Cannon again, Chu Li and Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but take a sharp breath, their scalps tingling.

If this cannon shot had been aimed at them, none of them would likely survive.

"That guy... escaped rather quickly."

Wang Ruoxie glanced towards where the masked man had fled, a thought crossing his mind.
