Celestial Peak

Chapter 25: A Slaughter

Sun Wu slowly descended from the sky and stood behind Wang Shu Qing. His head bowed down as she respectfully said, "It has been done, master."

Wang Shu Qing lightly nodded his head, "Follow me, you have three jobs you must do today. First, spread your senses and take those who are not a member of the Demon Blood Cult away. You can just have them stand behind you, just don't let them get killed. Second, torture before destroying their souls. We are not a member of the Azure Skies Kingdom anymore, I don't need to act restrained third, turn the whole Hideous Ghost Valley upside down and erased it from the realm, don't let anyone escape and kill those who try. I want to have every trace of Demon Blood Cult erase from this world."

Wang Shu Qing spoke with an ice cold tone of voice. His face carried a deep hint of anger, his aura as spiking and madly pulsing. But he did his best to keep it together as he did not want to accidentally destroy everything too fast.

He wanted to see the people who plotted to take his son away. Wang Shu Qing was already insane but for the sake of calming his anger, he wanted to do this thing slowly so he can savor every blood that will be spilt by his enemy.

As if a knife that will be slowly pushed into your enemy's flesh. He wanted to enter the Demon Blood Cult and act as the knife that will kill them all.

Sun Wu stood behind Wang Shu Qing with a slightly excited light present in his eyes. It had been a while since he saw Wang Shu Qing acting like this. The man who defeated and made him submit had resurfaced to the world after so long.

He responded with a deep deep bow. With that, the two of them walked together with one in front while the other at back. Every step Wang Shu Qing took, the ground would tremble.

Seething with anger, his spirit qi was trembling. While they walked, they saw people who coming out of the Demon Blood Cult. With their keen eyes they saw the people who came out were armed.

Most of these people were old, they looked like they were in their late fifties. They were all energetic and those present had nobody weaker than pinnacle-sky root stage.

All of them could see Wang Shu Qing and Sun Wu walking up to their headquarters. They looked at them and felt a sudden chill running down their spine.

These two were the ones who sent them that spear. The spear they had received was simply too powerful, by their calculation the one who threw that was a nascent soul stage cultivator.

They were trembling. Most of them were only young disciples who are at sky-root stage. While there are a few elders who have cultivated to energy palace stage. They didn't think that they'll be able to match up to these intruders.

They didn't attack as that would be suicidal and simply too stupid of a move. They observe the situation and waited for a chance to appear. However, that chance never did arrive.

The two intruders walked up to their base slowly. They seemed like they were in a walk and was enjoying the moonlight bestowed upon them by the heavens. Soon, the two were already so close that they were only separated by a few tens of meters.

Boom!

A pressure enough to topple mountain appeared and bore upon the disciples and elders present. They looked at the man in front of them as they knew he was the one who made this pressure.

Amidst the crowds there was an elder who was experiencing the same kind of pressure as everyone else. He looked at the man walking towards their headquarters and wxclaimed loudly.

"I know who you are aren't you the righteous general of the Azure Skies Kingdom? The General of the Heaven Wang Shu Qing? What are you doing in our cult's doorstep? Do you not fear for our retaliation? Or do you really think that you can destroy our cult?"

With the elder's words echoing in the Hideous Ghost Valley all were enlightened to the identity of their intruder. They looked at Wang Shu Qing with bewildered eyes but their fear never disappeared as it actually became even deeper.

They know also knew who this man is. He was the one who killed three of their [Minor Saints] back when they tried going against this upstart.

Ten years ago when the southern borders of the Azure Skies Kingdom was beginning to become stronger. The Demon Blood Cult attempted to destroy them as early as possible in fear of having the growing army of the southern border become a threat.

That day, the Demon Blood Cult sent four nascent soul stage cultivators and three minor saint stage cultivator. These line up was enough to make any forces in the southern most parts of the Blazing Wing continent tremble.

They wanted to completely eradicate the southern army but once the small but overbearing attack force of the Demon Blood Cult appeared in the southern garrison, they didn't met an army but rather a man.

That man was Wang Shu Qing. That day he killed the seven powerful men of the Demon Blood Cult and returned their heads to the cult's doorsteps as a warning.

Of course the cult was enrage and sent people after his life but all of them failed. Ten years then passed and to this day the Demon Blood Cult had yet to actually show his true capabilities to them.

He was the figure of both hate and fear in the Demon Blood Cult. Seeing him walking leisurely at their doorsteps all of them trembled. Is this the day this general would make a move?

Wang Shu Qing raised his head and looked at the elder who just shouted those threatening remarks. He looked at him with an unfeeling gaze before saying:

"I am here to eradicate your sect, just wait there with your necks. I'll come to you people and behead you myself." He then continued his walk.

The elder was enraged when he heard this. He frantically circulated his spirit qi and went against the pressure boring upon his body and soul. It was hard to do but he managed to stand up.

He looked at Wang Shu Qing and then turned to his fellow members of the Demon Blood Cult. He stood in front of them as he shouted encouraging words at them.

"Stand your ground and bombard him with your techniques! We may not be able to kill him but we will be able to wear him down! You people have benefited from the cult and it is time to return that gratitude! FOR THE SECT."

The members of the Demon Blood Cult felt their blood was boiling as the feeling of patriotism surfaced in their blood. All of them started chanting, "FOR THE SECT!!! OR THE SECT!!!"

The elder who riled them up smiled and then shouted as he turned around to face Wang Shu Qing, "Now let us fi!"

Bang!!

The elder's upper body suddenly burst into bits and fell to the ground. Starting for his waist up, nothing was left as his body created a puddle of blood on the ground.

His guts and flesh were all over the place. Blood and gore filled the scene and the people who were nearby that elder had their faces dyed red with the blood of what used to be their companion.

Chunks of flesh still remained. An eyeball drop to the ground and rolled over to one of the disciples feet. The pupils of the eye, the disciple looked down and exchanged gazes with it.

The disciple trembled.

The united cheering of Demon Blood Cult members stopped. They looked at the elder's lower half and then raised their heads at the person that was standing before that lower half.

"You're too noisy! All of you are too noisy!! Die!" he said and raised his right hand. The crowd that was united broke down and started running all over the place. Wang Shu Wing with his hand raised exerted his spirit qi outwards and sent numerous palm strikes.

A palm formed in the air and would unconditionally hit a person every time one flew out of his palms. No palm strike of his was wasted. Every movement of his reaped a life.

Screams of terror echoed throughout the Hideous Ghost Valley. A massacre unfolded and Wan Shu Qing began to stop sending out palm strikes and began his hunt. He moved like lightning and tore through the numbers of Demon Blood Cult members.

He began slaughtering them as if a wolf unleashed upon a flock of sheep. He punched and one body will be destroyed. No one could retaliate, no one wanted to retaliate as they focus on their escape.

They run like the wind but Wang Shu Qing was like a ghost hunting them as he would always get behind them. The last thing they would feel would be the gust of wind behind them and an instantaneous pain on their backs.

As many died some felt relieved. They were freed from the sufferings and pain. However, even when they died their souls would be subjected through a hellish tortured from Sun Wu's flames.

They screamed in agony as they started burning. Sun Wu at this moment was also enraged, beside him was a number of women he had found along the path of massacre his maser has created.

These women were citizens of the villages nearby. They had a life and a family but they were forcibly taken away by the members of the Demon Blood Cult and became their 'toys of pleasure'.

These women looked like they were in their teens, the oldest being a mere eighteen years of age. The youngest upon them was not even eleven. These sick bastards of the Demon Blood Cult even took these kind of young children as a toy of pleasure.

He was sure that these women were not the only ones who had been taken by this vile cult.

All these years the Demon Blood Cult's action had already been suppressed by the southern army, but they still managed to get these girls. Then what about those times when the southern army was unable to suppress them?

Sun Wu was sure that throughout the hundreds of years the Demon Blood Cult existed, even a four digit number would not suffice to count the people they have abducted.

Seething with anger Sun Wu's eyes became red. He made sure to let the souls of these bastards suffer as much as possible. He raised the heat of his flames but didn't raised it enough to kill them.

He meticulously controlled his flame and made them suffer hell. With the slaughter of Wang Shu Qing and souls suffering with Sun Wu's flames, the Hideous Ghost Valley became hell on earth.

This hell was watched by the women Sun Wu managed to save with a smile on their bruised up face as tears fell from their eyes. They had been subjected to a great number of hardships by this bastards so seeing them suffer was the greatest treat they could have in their lives.

Their tears continued to fall as they chanted: "DIE!! DIE!! DIE!!!!!"

Their hatred for the Demon Blood Cult was so dense that it made the whole area gloomy. The pent up anger and hate inside their hearts were ignited as most of them screamed out their emotions:

"That's right die you have killed my village and killed my parents in the same manner as this. Suffer and die, dieeeee."

"My sister died from being played by you devils. She was only a mere last she was a mere ten year old girl and you broke herrr!"

All of them screamed their grievances. Sun Wu was by the side watching them and could help but feel the rage they had inside their hearts. These women had their family killed and had been played with for years unable to make any comment about their situation.

He understood their grievances and watched them with pity. He sighed as he thought about the unfairness of the heavens. These women must have been young and had a bright life ahead of them if not for the Demon Blood Cult's lust.

[A field of flowers trembled upon by the feet of beasts. They are nothing but innocent flowers that had yet to bloom, but these cult members plucked them away without regard for their live!] Sun Wu continued his torture and his act of saving more captive.

At this moment the headquarters of the Demon Blood Cult was about to be torn down. The people Wang Shu had been slaying up till now had no longer been normal inner disciples and elders but the core disciples and Grand Elders of the cult/

A number of nascent soul stage cultivator had been slaughtered by his hands. His bloodlust had reached the skies, it was insatiable and could not be quenched until every member of the Demon Blood Cult has been eradicated.

While his act of slaughtering this flock of sheep continued seven figures suddenly burst out of the nearby pavilion. The pavilion stood at the very back of the cult's headquarters and was the main building of the cult.

Out of the seven figures, the one in the middle held the strongest aura. Wang Shu Qing could tell that the one in the middle was a half-step Grand Saint. The half-step Grand Saint was an old man, his hair was all white and his face reflected of the time he had been alive.

He looked old and the people beside him was the same. Only one of these seven people looked like a middle age person and that was the Sect Leader of the Demon Blood Cult.

The name of the Demon Blood Cult sect leader was Batian. He was a middle aged man and like the other five people floating in the air was a pinnacle-minor saint stage.

Batian looked at Wang Shu Qing with his bloodshot eyes. The cult he had been taking care of was destroyed by this man, he knew that this Wang Shu Qing was not a normal General but for him to single-handedly deal with the whole cult was simply unbelievable.

Wang Shu Qing raised his head and looked at the seven figure. He stared at Sect Leader Batian and said.

"Who of you seven ordered for my son to be captured!!?" his voice was clear and crisp so the seven figure managed to hear was he said without problem.

The seven figure floating in the air felt anger welling up inside their hearts. They looked at the arrogant Wang Su Qing who had just disregarded them with anger and hate. They were saints and wherever they go they would be respected.

For them to be ignored like so made them feel gravely humiliated. But the one who felt humiliated the most was the old man who was standing in the middle.

Batian wanted to say something back but the old man actually beat him to it.

"The order came from me!" the old man said.

Wang Shu Qing nodded his head and asked once again, "Who else?"

"The order was given by me and approved by Batian. Is that all you wanted to know before you die? You do know that the audacity of you attacking my cult is death correct?"

"Is that so, then"

Wang Shu Qing smiled at the old man before disappearing from sight.

Bang!

"I don't need the other people."

Other than Batian and the old man exploded and turned into a rain of blood. The old man turned to look at the people who was originally behind only to find Wang Shu Qing standing there clasping at Batian's neck with pliers like grip.

Batian was flailing around as he tried to escape from his grasp only to end up finding no strength to even move the next moment.

The old man looked at Wang Shu Qing with shock apparent in his eyes. Fear started welling up inside his heart. That same old man who was acting so arrogantly suddenly moved. He feared for his life and tried to escape.

[Who was that!?

For him to kill those many saint in mere seconds! What is he?]

He questioned and fled as fast as he could. But while he was just about to leave the premises of the Demon Blood Cult he heard a voice.

"Where do you think are you going!?"

Bang!

Boom!

The old man felt an incredible pressure boring down upon him and dropped from the sky. Spider web like cracks appeared on the ground he crashed on.

He turned around to see the person in the sky looking down upon his with disdain as Wang Shu Qing who still had Batian by the neck.

He wanted to speak and beg for mercy some kind of force made him unable to speak. His body was then dragged away from the rubbles. His neck found its way to Wang Shu Qing's remaining hand.

It was then that he heard Wang Shu Qing say to him:

"Don't even think about escaping. You still have to pay for the heavy price of touching my family." he then proceeded to knocking the two men out.

Handling the two saints by the neck Wang Shu Qing descended from the sky. He turned to look at Sun Wu who had three hinder fifty-six women and thirty-two men behind him cowering and crying. He spared them a glance before turning to Sun Wu.

"Is this all the people inside this place?"

"Yes!"

"Have you cleaned off all the remaining members that I might have missed?"

"Yes, master. I have killed everyone who tried to escape and hide from you.

Wang Shu Qing nodded his head to Sun Wu before passing the two saints to Sun Wu.

"Alright, I will leave to you the eradication of the whole valley. I will now head back to my manor to check up on Wang Ling, come back as soon as you finish everything, we need to leave right away."

"Master, what of the people we have rescued? Most of them should be orphans and had their parent's killed by the cult."

"You can train them if you want, but let them decide for themselves."

With that, Wang Shu Qing disappeared.

Sun Wu looked at the people he had rescued and nodded his head. He escorted the rescued people out of the Demon Blood Valley. They reached the end of the Demon Blood Valley.

Reaching the front of the valley, Sun Wu turned to look at the Hideous Ghost Valley once more. He floated up the sky and took out a spear from his storage ring.

He drew back his arms and made his muscle bulge. He looked ahead and then smiled.

Shiiii! Boom!

An explosion occurred starting from the center of the Hideous Ghost Valley.

He descended from the sky to protect the people he rescued from the explosion.

Swoosh!

A strong wind picked up as the explosion occurred. The moment the wind stopped, what remained of the Demon Blood Cult turned into dust.

The Demon Blood Cult had disappeared by the hands of the Wang family.
