Chapter 940 - 10,000 Corpses Elder Chen and the rest of the disciples that survived the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike did not dare to move as their widened eyes stared at the devastating destruction before their eyes. They have never seen such destruction before— at least not from a single attack. In the blink of an eye, half of their 10,000 army was vanquished. While the Universal Music Academy were in a daze, Yuan shouted at them, "This is your last chance to give up on revenge and go back to your sect! If you continue being stubborn, then I will truly show no mercy and kill every last one of you!" The disciples' bodies trembled in fear upon hearing Yuan's words, but Elder Chen gritted his teeth and shouted back, "Do not be afraid! Do not falter! Do not listen to his empty threats! There's no way he can still fight after releasing such a powerful attack! He must be out of spiritual energy now! Forward! Kill him and avenge our fellow disciples and our Sect Master!" The disciples regained their courage after hearing Elder Chen's words. They all believed that Yuan would have little to no more spiritual energy left after such a big attack. Seeing the disciples charging at him, Yuan took a deep breath. "What a pity." [Ten Thousand Ghost Blades!] Ten thousand copies of Starry Abyss suddenly appeared in the sky, causing the disciples to halt. "W-What the hell!? I thought he had no more spiritual energy!" The disciples were shocked to see so many daggers appearing out of thin air. "It's just an illusion! Keep going!" Elder Chen shouted as he led the disciples. Yuan closed his eyes and motioned for the daggers to fly. Whoosh! All ten thousand daggers flew towards the disciples like a meteor shower. A single dagger had the strength of a Spirit Lord, so it was as though ten thousand Spirit Lords had appeared in the battlefield. "Run! He's a monster!" When the disciples saw how effortlessly Yuan was killing them, the surviving disciples towards the end of their formation turned around and started running away. "Where do you idiots think you're going?! Get back here and fight!" Elder Chen roared at those that ran away, but none of them turned around. Unfortunately, he was too busy dealing with the flying daggers to chase after them. With that being said, even though Elder Chen was unable to stop them, there were more than enough flying daggers to chase after the disciples that ran away. 'I gave them plenty of chances, but none of them took it. Even if you suddenly decide to change your mind, I have already made up my mind. Everyone here will die today.' Yuan sighed inwardly. The loud noises caused by the fighting and the screaming quickly became weaker and weaker, until there was nobody left. It has been less than five minutes since Yuan showed up, but he'd managed to kill all of the disciples that came after him without sparing a single life. Yuan opened his eyes again after the battle, and he looked at the bloodstained battlefield with a profound expression on his face. "Do you guys think I am a hypocrite? Even though I keep saying that I do not enjoy killing people, I always end up with blood in my hands." He suddenly spoke out loud. "No, the Young Master has done nothing wrong. You gave them many warnings and chances to turn around, but they ignored it. If you warn someone to not enter a burning building but they still decide to anyway, that is entirely their fault, even if you were the one who lit the building ablaze." Feng Yuxiang said in a calm voice. "Don't think too much about it, Brother Yuan. This is the true nature of the cultivation world. You either kill them or they kill you. There is no need to feel guilty about it." Xiao Hua said. "Sorry, but I cannot lie and say that I understand your feelings, Yuan. As a Divine Beast, I don't see anything wrong with killing those that wish to harm you." Lan Yingying said. "Thank you." Yuan said to them. And he sighed inwardly, 'Maybe I am just worried that killing too many people will change me— change Yuan.' After taking another look at the chaos he'd caused, Yuan turned around and flew back to the Spirit Healing Academy. "Are you not going to loot their bodies, Young Master? You might find something nice with so many corpses here." Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked. "I don't feel like it. And it's too bloody down there." Yuan said without even looking back. "Yuan! Are you okay?!" Wang Xiuying rushed to him the moment he returned. "Yes, as you can see, I am totally fine." He said with a smile. However, Wang Xiuying did not smile. Instead, she frowned. "Who do you think you're trying to fool? Despite my young age, I have dealt with all sorts of patients in my grandfather's hospital. I can tell if someone is hurt or not by looking at their eyes, and when I look into your eyes, I can tell that you're not fine. You may be fine physically, but not mentally, and mental damage is just as dangerous as physical injuries, sometimes even more severe." "I'll give you some time for now, but I will eventually ask you about it." "Thanks." The smile on Yuan's face became less stiff after hearing her words. "Hey… The Universal Music Academy… What happened to them?" Sect Master Xiahou asked him afterward. "I killed them. Every last one of them." Yuan responded in a calm yet cold voice, sending shivers down their backs. And he continued, "Oh, I didn't touch the bodies. If you want, you can go ahead and loot them. It'd be a waste to leave them behind." "I-I will send some disciples there later…" Sect Master Xiahou nodded her head in a dazed voice. 'It hasn't even been that long since he left and he's already killed all 10,000 of them? Utterly ridiculous…' She was terrified inwardly, yet she was also relieved that she didn't offend this monster like Sun Hao had.
