Ye Luo naturally understood this, his mana fluctuating powerfully. This time, he was attacking with all his might!
With one sword strike, an arm of a Martial King Realm expert was completely severed!
If it weren’t for so many Martial King Realm experts besieging him, Ye Luo’s sword could have killed this expert.
"Hmph, kid, your strength is indeed formidable, but look at those people dying for you. When the time comes, I wonder what face you’ll have to establish a Sect!" In one breath, this expert’s arm regrew. At the Martial King Realm, such a technique was not unusual.
Ye Luo narrowed his eyes, scanning around. Those loose cultivators simply couldn’t escape; many had already perished on the square. Qiong Yao and Ling’er were severely injured, with the possibility of falling at any time!
"You forced me to do this!" Ye Luo said coldly.
Then, the temperature on his body suddenly rose significantly, and the surrounding experts momentarily froze. Ye Luo’s body emitted a power that made their hearts palpitate!
"Fire Origin, Stars Ignite the Plains!"
Ye Luo murmured, but his tone was extremely cold. In the next moment, dots of starlight emanated from his body.
It was daytime, yet these starlights were as dazzling as if it were night. The bright daylight couldn’t overshadow these stars.
What was emitted naturally was the Fire Origin.
"Not good, retreat quickly!" A few Martial King Realm experts didn’t care about anything else. Although they didn’t know what this power was, they understood that if they were contaminated by this starlight, even if they didn’t die, they would shed a layer of skin and very likely drop in realm, a loss they couldn’t afford.
Ye Luo’s target wasn’t these few, but the other Sect disciples who were slaughtering loose cultivators.
In an instant, these starlights fell into the crowd. When the starlights landed on a cultivator, they burned instantaneously, just like fire encountering gasoline!
No matter whether those cultivators rolled on the ground or used mana to protect their bodies, it was to no avail!
In a few breaths’ time, they burned to ashes!
However, the flames spread very quickly. Once a cultivator was burned clean, it immediately moved onto the next cultivator!
In an instant, the square became a purgatory on earth! The Fire Origin took countless lives!
This made everyone around involuntarily startled. Ye Luo narrowed his eyes; if he wasn’t forced, he wouldn’t act this way—this scene was indeed a bit cruel.
But if he didn’t act like this, thousands of loose cultivators would be hard to escape death, and the scene would be even more brutal than now.
Those loose cultivators were also frightened and evaded, afraid of being stained. Moreover, those cultivators caught in flames rushed towards nearby cultivators, not caring whether they were their own. As soon as they saw a figure, they pounced on it.
However, something astonishing happened. Even when those disciples’ bodies burned, holding onto loose cultivators tightly, the loose cultivators were unaffected by the flames!
Soon, they understood the flames were controlled by Ye Luo and wouldn’t harm these loose cultivators!
Immediately, these loose cultivators knelt down, bowing to Ye Luo vigorously. In their eyes, Ye Luo’s means were already god-like.
No matter how, though they were implicated by the Wudang Sect this time, Ye Luo essentially saved their lives.
"Ye Luo, you’re so ruthless!" A Martial King Realm expert immediately shouted.
Those disciples were the backbone of the Sect. If burned to death, the strength of these Sects would be greatly weakened!
"Hmph, when you acted against the Wudang Sect, were you ever merciful!"
Having said that, Ye Luo slashed at these Martial King Realm experts with a sword.
Ye Luo knew that at this moment, these Martial King Realm experts’ minds were already wavering. After all, they were concerned about their own disciples, and furthermore, they belong to different forces, not truly united!
Hence, as Ye Luo’s sword came down, those Martial King Realm experts began to scatter, flying towards their Sect’s disciples, while those disciples not caught in flames fled frantically, terror-stricken, leaving them with no mood to butcher loose cultivators.
However, the flames were too terrifying. In no time, already three-tenths of the disciples had been burned alive!
Even Ye Luo was surprised by the power of the Fire Origin!
This was merely a basic application of the Fire Origin, naturally sourced from his master’s legacy. He never thought the power could be so formidable.
Seeing those disciples scattering, Ye Luo didn’t chase but withdrew the flames. He had achieved his purpose; further slaughter held no significant meaning.
Soon, those disciples had escaped cleanly, leaving only the stunned loose cultivators and scattered corpses and ashes on the square!
The number of fallen among these loose cultivators wasn’t many, mostly severely injured, as the Sect people’s slaughter speed couldn’t compare to the Fire Origin’s!
Moreover, the casualties were mostly those with weak strength; those with slightly more power could escape in time.
"This incident is both a test for our Wudang Sect and a selection for you to enter the Sect. Thus, the Wudang Sect’s selection isn’t over! I promise, once you become a member of the Wudang Sect, regardless of talent, you will receive abundant resources for cultivation! This standard will be at least higher than other Sects’ Inner Sect disciples!" Ye Luo said calmly.
As soon as Ye Luo’s words fell, the square was momentarily silent, then the loose cultivators buzzed with excitement.
Ye Luo’s prestige in their hearts was extraordinarily high; no one doubted his words.
This chaos didn’t hinder the Wudang Sect’s selection ceremony; on the contrary, it made the atmosphere more ardent.
After all, the Cultivation World is inherently a realm of the strong preying on the weak. Death and injury are normal for cultivators.
"Valley Master, was I wrong?" The Sect Master of Qiankun Sect laughed, but he hadn’t anticipated such an outcome.
The Valley Master sighed, "This young man has become a force to reckon with, and will surely become a superpower in the realm, beyond easy judgment by us!"
That assertion was already quite high.
"So, what does the Valley Master imply?" The Sect Master smiled and asked.
"Since the Sect Master already knows, why ask me? Since the Qiankun Sect has taken action, I must go back and prepare as well!"
With this, the Valley Master’s figure gradually faded.
