Chapter 124

Petals flew at him like razor blades from every direction, leaving no room to dodge.

The white snowflakes carried a drug that drained strength from the limbs, further crippling any opponent's ability to fight.

And then there was that spinning disc, so blindingly bright that no one could tell which direction the snowflakes were coming from.

That was why the Four Seasons Illusion Array could easily kill enemies far more powerful than its Array Master. It weakened opponents from every angle. No matter how skilled you were, you died inside the Array.

Unless the one who entered was so overwhelmingly powerful that none of it mattered.

Victor flicked his toe, and a thumb-sized pebble flew up into his hand. He snapped his finger, sending the stone hurtling through the air with a sharp whistle.

The seemingly indestructible moon disc shattered like glass the moment it was hit.

The blinding light vanished instantly. The Array's balance collapsed completely.

The wind lost its direction and fell into chaos. The petals lost their aim and scattered across the ground. As for the drugged snowflakes, they couldn't even get through Victor's barrier.

The Four Seasons Illusion Array, their greatest pride, crumbled like paper before raw power.

After breaking the formation, Victor landed a single heavy blow, and all four Envoys flew back as if hit by a truck. They spat blood and crashed hard to the ground.

Even as they lay there, they couldn't believe it. Their beloved Array had been broken by Victor in the blink of an eye.

"Who the hell are you?" Wind struggled to his feet, staring at Victor in shock.

He couldn't wrap his head around it. How could someone from the Mortal World possess this kind of terrifying strength?

Victor smiled faintly. "Me? I'm the one here to kill you. Didn't I send someone to tell you that yesterday?"

He stepped forward as he spoke.

Wind spun around and tried to run.

But he was too slow. Or rather, compared to Victor, his speed was almost laughable.

Before he could even take a step, Victor grabbed his left arm.

Victor gave a light twist. The arm snapped clean off, every bone in it crushed in an instant.

Wind let out a shriek far more wretched than anything his own victims had ever screamed.

Victor's expression stayed cold. His right fist shot forward like a cannonball and slammed into Wind's stomach.

Savage Qi tore straight through him, blasting his back open and shredding his clothes.

Wind didn't even have time to scream. His organs were destroyed in an instant.

He flew sideways and hit the ground hard, completely still.

Wind died without ever understanding how he, a mid-level Immortal, could have met such a brutal end.

The other three stared at Wind's corpse, completely speechless.

Wind was the most gifted person in their Moon Goddess Temple. And he'd been killed in a single move?

"Run! Run now!" Blossom was the first to snap out of it and bolted.

He finally understood that Moon's worry had never been unnecessary. Moon Goddess Temple had gotten themselves into serious trouble this time.

But there was no escape. Victor was already standing in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Didn't you say you were going to make a meal out of me? Scared already?"

"Stay back!" Blossom panicked and swung his cane on instinct.

Dozens of silver needles soaked in deadly poison shot out from inside it, flying straight at Victor at blinding speed.

The poison on those needles was lethal enough to kill even an upper-level Immortal on contact. And with Blossom's full panicked strength behind them, they moved faster than the naked eye could follow.

But Victor simply took one step to the side. An invisible wave of Qi burst outward, and every single needle reversed course.

Blossom screamed once and died, pierced by his own needles.

They came back too fast. He had no chance to dodge.

He never imagined he would die by his own weapon.

"Blossom!" Snow and Moon watched in horror, their courage completely gone.

They finally understood. This fight was over. The man in front of them wasn't human.

A moment later, Snow's eyes went wide with fury. She drew her sword with a scream.

"I'll take you down with me!"

She shot forward like a streak of brilliant light, sword aimed straight at Victor's face.

Sword Qi sliced through the air, turning every blade of grass and tree branch in its path to dust.

Victor simply raised his right hand.

Two fingers caught the blade cold.

Snow's pupils shrank. She poured everything she had into pushing forward. The sword didn't move an inch.

Victor gave the faintest squeeze. The sword she was so proud of shattered into pieces.

Then he kicked her square in the chest.

The sickening crack of breaking bones rang out. Her chest caved in. She flew backward, spraying blood, and hit the ground dead.

Victor pulled his foot back and brushed the dust off his pants with mild distaste.

Less than three minutes. Three of the four Envoys were dead.

Moon sat crumpled on the ground, shaking all over. He watched the man walking toward him like some kind of demon god, his eyes filled with nothing but terror and despair.

"Please… don't kill me…" Moon dropped to his knees and pressed his forehead into the dirt.

"I was wrong. We were blind fools. We never should have come after you. Please, spare my life. I'll do anything. I'll serve you like a slave."

All he wanted now was to survive.

The dignity of the Hidden Sect, the honor of Moon Goddess Temple — none of it meant anything anymore.

Victor stood over him and looked down.

"You want to live?"

"Yes! Please, yes!" Moon nodded frantically.

Victor gave a slight nod. "Fine. I'll let you live. Go back and deliver a message to Moon Goddess Temple."

Moon felt a flood of relief wash over him.

Then, in the next instant, a sharp burst of Qi tore through the air and punched straight through his left eye.

Moon screamed in agony, clutching his bloody eye socket, writhing and convulsing on the ground.

Victor watched him without expression.

"You're spared from death, but not from punishment. Consider that eye the price for disrespecting me."

"Go back and tell your Moon Goddess Temple's leader, Alvin Jordan, and Brad, whoever sent you here."

"In three days, I'll be paying Moon Goddess Mountain a personal visit. Tell them to get their last words ready."

Moon's whole body was seizing from the pain. It was so overwhelming he couldn't get a single word out.

Victor looked away with contempt.

In the eyes of these Hidden Sect people, ordinary folk were nothing but lowlifes. But in his eyes, these so-called Cultivators weren't even worth that.

Moon lay on the ground for over an hour before he could move. Then, biting through the pain, he crawled and stumbled away from the scene.

Victor watched his pathetic retreat and let out a cold laugh.

"These are the four great Envoys? More like four great wastes."

He turned and walked away.
