The Whole Sect Forced Me to Die, So I Went Berserk and Killed Them All - Chapter 9:

Chapter 9: Void Storage

Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, sword qi and palm strikes clashed violently, bursting into fierce collisions of power.

Despite being only at the 8th stage Spirit Transformation Realm, Shen Lian alone faced two Void Refining Realm experts, and after exchanging over a hundred moves, he remained completely unshaken.

Boom—

One more exchange sent shockwaves through the hall as all three were pushed back a few steps, entering a temporary stalemate.

“Hmm… Shen Lian is clearly only at the 8th stage Spirit Transformation Realm. How is he managing to stand toe-to-toe with me for so long without losing?”

“What kind of trick did this brat use to unleash such overwhelming pressure that we can’t even subdue him easily?”

Yuwen Tianzhao and Dongfang Lie were both baffled by Shen Lian’s sudden transformation.

“Why aren’t you attacking? Realized your own uselessness? Or have you already run out of moves?”

Shen Lian mocked, gently flicking open his folding fan with an air of absolute calm.

Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao exchanged glances and quickly reached a silent agreement.

“He must be hiding something we don’t know.”

“Take him down immediately. We’ll interrogate him, find the truth, and execute him on the spot.”

“Agreed.”

Their minds made up, Dongfang Lie stepped forward first, forming a hand seal.

Immediately, blazing flames erupted around him, and a towering flame god phantom over 10 meters high appeared behind him.

Yuwen Tianzhao, meanwhile, sheathed his sword on his back and subtly retreated several steps.

“Hmm? Flame King’s Wrath?”

Shen Lian recognized the technique at a glance and drew upon his energy, preparing for the next clash.

“Shen Lian, a disgrace like you should’ve died long ago. If you had just obeyed your seven Senior Sisters and surrendered for Fan’er’s sake, maybe you wouldn’t be in this situation today. But now, I’ll use this raging flame to reduce you to ashes.”

“Just you? A piece of trash like you has the audacity to say that? What a joke.”

Shen Lian instantly shifted his cultivation into extreme cold energy.

“A mere spark dares to challenge the tide? Let me show you what true power looks like.”

In an instant, a frigid aura surged, and behind Shen Lian, a massive wave-like phantom emerged.

“What is that technique? Why have I never seen it before?”

Dongfang Lie was deeply shaken by the sight.

“Watch me snuff out your pathetic spark completely!”

With a roar, Shen Lian leapt into the air and struck with a devastating palm.

“Wave-Chasing Millennium · Divine Smite!”

Like a mighty river surging endlessly, the palm force crashed toward Dongfang Lie.

Just as Dongfang Lie had gathered 80% of his power, he was caught off guard and hastily countered with a palm of his own.

Boom—

The instant water and fire met, the Law Enforcement Hall was reduced to rubble.

“Ugh—”

As the shockwave settled, Dongfang Lie staggered, a bloody trace at his lips, and was blown tens of meters away.

In contrast, Shen Lian merely stepped back a few paces before regaining his footing.

“You…”

“This is the fury you’re so proud of? What a pathetic, powerless display. Hahahaha—”

Shen Lian’s laughter rang out thunderously, twisting Dongfang Lie’s face in humiliation and fury.

“Eight Gate Golden Lock Sword · Bind!”

Just then, countless chains formed from sword qi surged at Shen Lian from behind.

“Hmm?”

Shen Lian reacted quickly, dodging the incoming chains with a side roll.

But the moment he landed, sword chains erupted from beneath, entangling his ankles.

In the next instant, his arms were also bound.

“Now’s our chance!”

Ignoring his injuries, Dongfang Lie seized the opportunity and slammed a palm directly toward Shen Lian’s chest.

Boom—

“Ugh—”

The palm struck Shen Lian square in the chest, sending him flying backward with a grunt.

“Don’t give him any time to react—subdue him now!”

“Got it!”

With a successful strike, the two didn’t relax. Instead, they began encircling him from both sides, refusing to give him even a moment to recover.

Though wounded, Shen Lian landed on his feet, wiped the blood from his lips, and blasted out two palm strikes.

But due to his injury, the attacks were weakened. Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao easily blocked them and pressed forward.

Though staring death in the face, Shen Lian’s fighting spirit only grew more intense.

“You think this is enough to kill me, Shen Lian? Not even close!”

Boom! Boom—

BOOM!

With his voice still echoing, the three figures clashed once again.

But the next moment—

“What?! How is this possible?!”

Shen Lian had used both fists to forcibly block the full-powered attacks of the two men.

Even more shocking was the sudden surge in his aura—it was the sign of a breakthrough!

“The game ends now! Hah!”

With a mighty shout, Shen Lian blasted both men backward.

At that very moment, his cultivation broke through to the 9th stage Spirit Transformation Realm.

“You… you broke through during battle?”

Yuwen Tianzhao stared in disbelief.

“Regret not killing me in one move? Then take that regret with you to the afterlife!”

Shen Lian roared and exploded with true essence, sweeping the ruined Law Enforcement Hall with a massive shockwave.

“If we don’t kill him now, he’ll become a disaster for Heavenly Feather Sect.”

“Then let’s end him!”

Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao both knew they couldn’t hold back anymore. Whether or not Shen Lian had secrets, he could not be allowed to leave alive.

They summoned all their Spiritual Energy, condensed it into a single point, and prepared to unleash their strongest attack.

Yet Shen Lian stood firm, unafraid. Knowing the next strike would decide life or death, he steadied his energy and prepared to face it head-on.

“Eight Gate Golden Lock · Break!”

“Silver Python Flame Devouring Palm!”

A sword and a palm, the strongest techniques of Heavenly Feather Sect, burst forth together. A devastating energy wave shot toward Shen Lian with blinding speed.

“Perfect timing!”

Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Shen Lian wanted.

He flipped his palms, and thousands of streams of water manifested around him.

They converged into a torrent of Spiritual Energy, forming a swirling Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram before him.

Just as the two techniques were about to land—

“Void Storage · Absorb Form!”

In that instant, the two attacks capable of destroying half the sect were fully absorbed into the spinning Yin-Yang diagram.

“What?!”

Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao cried out in shock as their ultimate techniques were instantly neutralized.

“Return of the Angry Sea!”

Boom! Boom—

Void Storage absorbed the external force and amplified it, condensing it into chaotic Yin-Yang flames, which then rebounded at triple the power.

Caught off guard, Dongfang Lie and Yuwen Tianzhao were both pierced by the chaotic energy and exploded on the spot.

They didn’t even have time to scream before they died.

“Ugh… pfft—”

Though he had killed two Void Refining Realm cultivators in one strike, the strain exceeded Shen Lian’s limit. Blood trickled from his mouth.

“Hmph. So this is the power of Heavenly Feather Peak Masters? The weakest Void Refining Realm I’ve ever seen.”

After the battle ended, Shen Lian adjusted his breathing, flicked open his folding fan again, and approached the unconscious Ye Fan.

He raised his hand to strike him dead.

But just as he was about to do so, the memory of being falsely accused by Ye Fan flashed through his mind.

A cruel smile curved on Shen Lian’s lips.

“Letting you die like this would be far too merciful. I just thought of a fun little game to test on you.”

With that, Shen Lian pointed a finger and pierced Ye Fan’s Dantian Sea.

“Ah…”

His cultivation was destroyed. The searing pain of his shattered Dantian Sea yanked Ye Fan out of unconsciousness.

Realizing his decades of cultivation were gone, he glared at Shen Lian with hatred, “Shen Lian… I won’t let you get away with this…”

“Remember this moment, little worm, because from this moment on, your destiny is mine to rewrite. I love watching pathetic insects like you thrash in rage. Toying with fools like you… is one of life’s greatest joys. Hahaha…”

Then, Shen Lian placed his palm on Ye Fan’s forehead and suddenly withdrew it.

“Ah! What are you doing?!”

“Letting you experience what it means to be a dog.”

Amid Ye Fan’s anguished screams, seven parts of his Divine Soul were forcibly torn out.

A moment later, Ye Fan blacked out.

Staring at the soul fragment in his hand, Shen Lian smirked coldly.

“His cultivation was too low… I couldn’t extract all of his Divine Soul with the Extreme Dao Soul Extraction Hand. But this piece is enough.”

He walked outside the ruined Law Enforcement Hall and casually tossed the fragment into a random black dog.

“Awooo…”

The dog whimpered in agony as its soul was forcefully fused with Ye Fan’s.

“From now on… you’re nothing but a broken dog. Hahaha.”

“Woof! Woof! Woof—”

Listening to the dog’s miserable barking, Shen Lian shook his fan and left Heavenly Feather Sect laughing, and not a single person dared block his path.

“Hurry, report to the Ancestor! Something terrible has happened!”

Several disciples, seeing the blood-soaked ruins of the Law Enforcement Hall, immediately ran toward the forbidden grounds of the rear mountain, where the Ancestor cultivated in seclusion.
