Inside Heaven's Gate's HQ, all the Demigods were amidst a fierce argument. They were discussing how to kill Jiang Luoxia. The biggest problem in this was related to Long Yingqing. The Long family still cared about this girl. She had outstanding looks and was also a talented genius. No matter whether she remained in the Long family, she'd still have worth as a marriage tool in the future.
Long family's Demigod, Long Zaizong was doing his best to oppose the plan to kill Long Yingqing along with Jiang Xiu. The destructive power when Demigods battled was too immense, so he was requesting them to first rescue Long Yingqing.
Korea's Demigod narrowed his eyes, "She should feel honored to sacrifice her life for Heaven's Gate. My family's Jae-Ki is already dead. As his fiancée, shouldn't she also follow him into death?"
Long Zaizong roared, "Shut your bitching mouth. My great-granddaughter was merely engaged with your Lee family's descendant, not married. Even if she had married him, you don't have the right to bury my great-granddaughter together with him."
The old Korean man got infuriated, "Long Zaizong, Long Yingqing has fallen into Jiang Luoxia's hands. Do you think he'll let her go? I fear she's already been violated by him. This isn't just a disgrace to my Lee family but also to your Long family. Death is the best ending for her and also the only way to maintain our families' prestige."
Long Zaizong sneered back at him, "What era are you living in? Only an obstinate old fogey like you would care about this matter. Even if something really happened, Long Yingqing is the victim. Moreover, you're just reaching about this."
"I think you just want to take revenge for Lee Jae-Ki and don't care about my great-granddaughter's life, am I right?"
A redheaded woman took this rare opportunity to cut into the conversation, "The two of you, Jiang Luoxia is strong, and everyone knows about this clearly. First, he killed Buzhi Ming then killed the monk from far away. We don't even know how big a price we'll have to pay to kill him, and we're still quarreling here. We must first formulate a plan to kill him in a single attack. We can't let him escape to China."
"Long Zaizong, just what does your great-granddaughter's life alone amount to?"
"You…" Long Zaizong's face was entirely flushed from anger.
"Alright, everyone, calm down." An old European man commented. "Jiang Luoxia has killed two Demigods of my Heaven's Gate. If we don't settle this hatred by killing him, the prestige of Heaven's Gate will take a huge hit."
"It's just as Selena says. We can't let him escape to China and have to kill him!"
"Only if Long Zaizong renounces that great-granddaughter of his can a few of us can bring out our power as much as we wish. Even if Jiang Luoxia is strong, we can crush him down!" A wild looking stubble-bearded European man mocked in a cold tone.
Boom!
A fierce wave rushed in from outside, resulting in the windows' glass to explode. The people inside the hall were all jolted. The Korean Demigod voiced out his doubts, "What happened?"
A European man rushed inside with a terrified look on his face, screaming with all his might. "That Jiang Luoxia is raiding the place!"
"What?!"
The members inside the hall were stunned. This place was the HQ of Heaven's Gate, and ever since it was established several hundred years ago, no one had dared to forcefully invade this place.
"He really dared to come here?"
"Does he think he can challenge 23 Demigods of my Heaven's Gate alone?"
They all rushed out and saw dense black clouds covering the entire sky above the grass mountain. Rumbles of thunder resounded from the horizon as lighting flashed inside the dark clouds. "China's Jiang Luoxia has arrived as planned!"
As he walked in with swag, the warhorses neighed in shock, and the birds fled in disarray.
Currently, Jiang Luoxia's long hair was waving in the air like flames, and his clothes fluttered due to the wind. Lightning seemed to flash within his eyes, and the entire world quaked in fear due to his descent. That powerful aura was terrifying to the heart as the black clouds covering the whole sky seemed to wail in anguish under that aura. His apathetic gaze was full of an imposing attitude which looked down over the entire world with disdain.
"Y-You really dare…"
The one who rebuked him was the Lee family's Demigod. His face was full of shock as he confronted Deity Xiu's aura which was covering the heavens. He even stuttered while speaking and lacked his previous vigor.
A Demigod who wasn't even 20, a person who had risen to fame from killing Ji Wudao and become China's No.1 Super Demigod.
Though Heaven's Gate was based in Europe, since Jiang Xiu had killed Buzhi Ming, they were paying close attention to him, so they had photos of his deified appearance.
But only when they saw the scene in person did they sense how astonishing Jiang Xiu's aura was.
"You really dared to come to my Heaven's Gate!"
"I, Jiang Luoxia, always do what I say. Since I said I'll exterminate your Heaven's Gate, I definitely won't disappoint you."
"Arrogant brat!"
Long Zaizong snarled at him, "Naïve child, Heaven's Gate isn't a place where you can behave so atrociously. Just who is your master? I really wish to ask him just how did he raise up an apprentice like you."
Jiang Xiu's expression turned grim, "You're not qualified to ask my master's name!"
Long Zaizong was also Chinese. Though he didn't dare to say he knew the names of all the experts in China's martial arts world as he had left that place many years ago, he knew almost all of them and believed he might recognize the name.
"You…"
Long Zaizong saw Long Yingqing walk forward with a pale face. She felt as if she were having an out-of-body experience and had a lifeless look in her eyes as she stepped forward mechanically.
She was really terrified!
No one knew just what she had witnessed as Jiang Xiu invaded the Holy Land. Only now did she truly realize what the name 'Jiang Luoxia' represented.
Long Zaizong shouted at her, "Yingqing, are you alright?"
"Ancestor, I'm fine."
"Did he do anything to you? A-Are you still…" He felt a little embarrassed while asking this question. Although he didn't mind saying it, he was, after all, a person from a hundred years ago and was concerned about such things.
Long Yingqing understood what the ancestor was asking and shook her head.
Korea's Demigod barged in at this moment, "Long Zaizong, looks like you've gone senile along with time. Do you think your great-granddaughter will admit what happened to her in front of everyone here?"
He ignored Long Zaizong's angry expression and said, "Jiang Luoxia, since you dared to kill my Lee family's people, how do you plan to repay this debt of blood?"
Jiang Xiu sneered at him, "What? You think your Lee family's people are more precious than others? They're no better than pigs waiting to be slaughtered…"
"Just take a look behind me…"
There wasn't even a single person remaining standing behind him. Mountains of corpses laid on the ground and blood flowed like seas. The entire place was a mess. Especially the Lee family's members, none of them had an intact corpse.
It was similar to that of a battlefield overrun by an Asura, filled with dead bodies of Heaven's Gate's disciples. The expressions of all the Demigods of Heaven's Gate warped when they saw this.
Korea's Demigod trembled all over. "Good. Very good. Since you dared to come to my Heaven's Gate, don't blame us for fighting together against you."
"Everyone, let's kill this evil person to take revenge for the dead Buzhi Ming, the black-robed monk as well as the disciples."
Jiang Xiu scoffed back at him, "Useless trash!"
"You're courting death!"
The redhead, Selena, suddenly grabbed towards his direction. Her fingernails were also scarlet, just like blood, and as she went through the motion of grasping, a flame spurted out from her hand.
She wasn't a natural esper. When she was 6 years old, her house had caught fire, and her parents burned to death. She had seen a shadow within the fire, and when she grabbed it, she gained the power to control fire.
Soon after that, she was taken in by a convent of Gaulle and discovered a method to control and increase her power in their scriptures. She became the youngest witch of Europe at the age of 18 and gained the moniker of Goddess of Fire.
"Too weak!"
"This kind of flame will stop burning without external help to keep it burning." He waved his hand with ease, releasing a cool breeze towards the flame. The flame's color turned dull, and along with a rumble, the flame appeared to lose its power slowly before disappearing.
"This is…"
The expressions of Heaven's Gate's Demigods distorted in shock.
This was Selena who was praised as the Goddess of Fire in Europe yet her attack was broken so easily. This attack of hers could easily blast a colossal tree which required at least 4-5 people to surround it entirely, but it was nothing to Jiang Xiu.
All of them were utterly shocked.
With such power, it was no wonder that he was able to reach till here and kill so many disciples. In front of him, those ordinary people were equivalent to ants.
Long Yingqing's eyes grew wide open in shock as well.
He's able to deal with a Demigod's attack with such ease?
"Everyone, let's attack together!"
Korea's Demigod immediately realized that the circumstances didn't look good. Jiang Xiu was too powerful, and it'd be difficult to defeat him if they attacked one by one. It'll need all of them to attack together to avoid getting killed by him one by one.
All the Demigods attacked in an instant. There was an intense light as well as thunder, flame as well as poison…
BOOM!
The Demigods' attacks were very astonishing, and among them, many of them had revealed their deified state, each one possessing a bizarre look, as they burst out with a decimating force.
All of them desired to destroy this monster which had descended into this world, so they released all the power they had suppressed all these years.
One of them flew towards a far away tree like a bird and landed on top of it, looking over the place from high ground.
"Keep at it! Attack him!"
A huge hole 3-4 m deep was created at the place Jiang Xiu was standing due to the explosions.
"Hahaha…"
"Jiang Luoxia has turned into du…"
But he couldn't finish his words.
A formless power crazily converged at the place Jiang Xiu was standing, and a shadow slowly walked out from inside. A hidden aura soared up behind him which seemed to be formed of flames and thunder, issuing a deep rumbling sound.
The Demigods revealed a look of shock and despair when they saw the person clearly.
"Just how…"
