Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1442 A Battle to the Death

Upon hearing this, Yun Tianqi's expression turned extremely ugly. He knew very well that this map jade slip was completely fictitious.

As the current clan leader, if such a map jade slip truly existed, why would the Youqiong clan remain holed up here? They would probably have already taken the map jade slip to search for ancient relics and obtain the ancient heritage. How could the Youqiong clan be in its current state?

Besides, even if he really knew such a map jade slip existed, how could he possibly give it away so easily?

Its importance lies not only in the information it records, but also in the fact that it represents the hope for the rise of the Youqiong clan.

As the head of his clan, he absolutely could not allow this treasure to fall into the hands of outsiders. His gaze swept quickly across the Holy Sound Pavilion's ranks, attempting to assess the odds of victory in this desperate battle.

It only takes a breath to reach this point.

Yun Tianqi's thoughts were quickly pulled back to reality by the telepathic communication of the elders. One of them, an elderly man with white hair, was the first to send a telepathic message:

"Clan leader, the Holy Sound Pavilion is really going too far. Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, the Qiong Clan will never succumb to any coercion or inducement. At worst, we will fight them to the death."

"Clan leader, give the order! Our Qiong clan will fight to the death, we absolutely cannot surrender!" another middle-aged cultivator transmitted his thoughts.

Lu Chen stood to the side, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. If the Qiong Clan really possessed such a jade slip, he would also like to add it to his possession.

It should be known that the God Realm is extremely resource-scarce, and it is incredibly difficult to cultivate to the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. If he obtains this jade slip, he will no longer have to worry about resources, and he will have a better chance of fulfilling his ten-year promise with the old Taoist priest.

Just as Lu Chen was making up his mind, Yun Tianqi, the clan leader, calmly denied it:

"Gentlemen! The existence of the map jade slip is merely a rumor, without any factual basis. If such an important treasure truly existed, how could my Qiong clan have fallen to this state?"

Therefore, I urge you all to leave immediately, and let us keep to ourselves. If you insist on making things difficult for us, then what harm is there in the Qiong clan fighting you to the death today?” His voice was powerful and righteous, striking a chord with everyone present.

Before he finished speaking, Yun Tianqi flashed forward a short distance, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body. It was the aura of a Dao Transformation Realm expert, which swept out rapidly like a surging wave. In an instant, the entire space seemed to tremble.

At the same time, the elders also displayed their strength. First was Yun Fengyuan; with a slight movement, an equally powerful force was released from his body.

Next was Yun Kuihai, who was expressionless, but the aura emanating from him was not to be underestimated.

Following their actions, the other three elders—Yun Shoucheng, Yun Xuanming, and Yun Shoucai—also revealed their Dao Transformation Realm strength.

Six experts at the Transformation Realm stood side by side, forming an unbreakable defensive line. Their eyes showed no fear, but rather a resolute determination as they faced the Holy Sound Pavilion's camp.

At this moment, the Youqiong tribe displayed a rare unity, which even moved Lu Chen.

Upon seeing this, the Dao Yin Sage did not show much change in expression, but a cold glint flashed in his deep eyes.

He waved his hand lightly, as if he were directing a pre-arranged game of chess.

As he made his gesture, seven distinguished-looking cultivators appeared beside him like ghosts.

These seven cultivators had contrasting appearances: some had cold, stern faces, like solid ice in the dead of winter; some had sharp eyes, seemingly able to penetrate the deepest secrets of people's hearts; and others were surrounded by a faint halo, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

They stood side by side in a row, and then, a powerful aura that was almost suffocating erupted from their bodies, forming a stark contrast with the six Transformation Realm experts of the Youqiong Clan.

Yun Tianqi, Yun Xuanming, Yun Shouyi, and the others standing at the forefront all showed solemn expressions after feeling the immense pressure from the other side.

Their gazes swept over the eight Transformation Realm experts opposite them, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts.

Originally, it was thought that six experts at the Transformation Realm would be enough to fight against the Holy Sound Pavilion, but now it seems that the outcome of this battle has been decided.

“Eight… actually eight experts at the Transformation Realm.” Yun Xuanming said in a low voice, his tone filled with undisguised shock and bitterness. “We are afraid… we really have no chance of winning.”

Yun Tianqi clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. He knew that any retreat at this moment would mean the annihilation of his people, but he also knew that the enemy before him was too powerful, and that his own strength alone could hardly budge them in the slightest.

However, as the head of the clan, he could not allow this despair to spread; he had to find a glimmer of hope.

“Even so, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom.” Yun Tianqi said in a deep voice, which was full of power. “I will activate the formation later. Elder Feng Yuan, you will be responsible for bringing the younger generation out of the small world. We will try our best to buy you enough time.”

Hearing the clan leader's words, the people around nodded, their fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes. Despite facing a battle with a slim chance of survival, they remained fearless.

Just then, the Sage of Daoyin threatened again:

"Do you still have the courage to resist? If you don't want the Youqiong clan to disappear, I advise you not to put up a stubborn resistance."

The threat from the Sage of Daoyin echoed in the air, as if an invisible hand had gripped everyone's heart tightly.

His cold and ruthless face was filled with contempt and disdain for the Youqiong clan. On the other hand, Yun Tianqi and the others standing opposite him had resolute expressions, their eyes burning with an indomitable flame.

"Even if we are as insignificant as ants, we will never bow down to you," Yun Tianqi's voice was firm and powerful, resonating in the air like a great bell, "Today it's either you die or I die! Kill!"

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst forth from Yun Tianqi's body, transforming into a longsword that shone with golden brilliance.

At the same time, the other five experts at the Transformation Realm also released their magical treasures.

In an instant, the entire space was filled with spiritual light of various colors, and powerful auras spread out, inspiring awe.

Upon seeing this, Dao Yin Saint sneered, "You ignorant fools!" With that, he quickly formed hand seals, and the eight Transformation Realm experts behind him stepped forward in unison, launching their attacks simultaneously.

They each unleashed their strongest spells, and in an instant, the world changed color, a gale arose, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the Youqiong clan did not back down.

Yun Tianqi was the first to charge into the enemy ranks, his golden sword flashing like the light of dawn, slicing through the darkness and aiming straight for Daoyin Saint's throat.

However, the Dao Yin Saint was agile and easily dodged the attack with a flash, and quickly countered with a purple beam of light.

The beam of light was extremely fast, arriving in front of Yun Tianqi almost in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and blocked the attack with his longsword, but the huge impact still forced him back several steps...
