Chapter 688: The End of a Generation’s Genius

Ling Chuxi had not expected that the appearance of Xie Wuji and the others would affect Chu Fengyun so much. She had no idea that Chu Fengyun’s heart had already become numb when Mo Kongyuan used Breaking Heavens, and when she had arrived, he was overjoyed because he thought he could easily kill her off. When he found out that she actually knew the Core of Martial Path, his emotions had become turbulent again. Finally, Xie Wuji and the rest had appeared, and all of these events had occurred in less than two hours. Chu Fengyun’s emotions had fluctuated so wildly that he had lost the state of mind an expert of True Essence should have.

Ling Chuxi herself was stunned. Chu Fengyun was staring at the chilling light of the sword piercing through his body in disbelief. “Ling Chuxi, I’ll rip you to shreds!” As pain shot through his body, Chu Fengyun suddenly regained his senses and roared angrily.

Chu Fengyun’s eyes shone with a vicious bloodlust, and his heart filled with loathing and outrage. He had planned this for so long, and in the end, it was all for naught! He lunged forward, allowing the Luo Chen Sword to thoroughly pierce his body, and held both palms out in Ling Chuxi’s direction.

Everything happened so quickly, and no one thought that he would actually do something so crazy and reckless. Ling Chuxi could not even turn around in time.

Right at that moment, four magnificent, vast True Qi appeared as Xie Wuji and the others finally rushed over. Lin Cangbo and Mister Cao both stood before Ling Chuxi, using their bodies to withstand the final blow of Chu Fengyun as they placed their palms on Chu Fengyun’s chest. Mo Kongyuan, Xie Wuji, and Mister Wu put their hands on Chu Fengyun’s head.

How strong would the combined force of the five guardians be? There was a blinding flash of light, and the entire Cloud Watching Peak trembled. A few seconds later, there was a deafening boom and a huge mushroom cloud rose.

At that moment, time stood still. Everyone was shocked as they watched the dust settle.

Eventually, Cloud Watching Peak became visible again. The place where Chu Fengyun had stood was now a deep rock pit. Under the combined power of the five guardians, Chu Fengyun’s entire being had dissolved into nothingness.

A generation’s genius was gone, just like that.

Rain suddenly started to fall, as if wanting to wash away the cruelty of the war, and cleanse the weary spirits of the people.

In the army camp below, the commander of Ding Lin Country stared at the people on Cloud Watching Peak, and then quickly turned around and returned to his tent. He had mixed feelings, not sure whether he should feel relieved or sad. In the end, things had actually turned out this way. That person had died, just like that.

Others might not have known those people’s identities, but he knew. They were the secret guardians that protected each country. Chu Fengyun was gone, and the other guardians had gathered, so there was no need to continue this war.

“Report! Shang Yuan, Feng Ze, Dong Xing, and Wan Chuan have launched a surprise attack on Ding Lin’s borders. His Majesty ordered us to retreat for now and return to the capital to reinforce the defenses.” A scout rushed into the tent and passed the army letter to the commander anxiously.

“Call back the army,” the commander ordered.

He was not the least bit surprised that the four countries had launched a surprise attack. Since the four guardians were here, those countries definitely had no reason to remain silent. Truth be told, he didn’t know whether Ding Lin Country would be safe this time. Thinking about this, the commander let out a long sigh, brows creased in worry.
