Chapter 2400

Lei Hao spent a full ten minutes persuading them, and about a quarter of the Dao Venerables were persuaded to stand with him.

The remaining three-quarters, about 1,500 to 1,600 Dao Venerables, were not persuaded and continued to head towards Lin Moyu.

The distance of tens of thousands of miles was crossed in the blink of an eye, and those Dao Venerables appeared in sight.

Each of them was surrounded by purple light and surging lightning, looking at Lin Moyu with killing intent.

Lin Moyu said loudly, "It was Lei Xuan who attacked me first; he brought his own death upon himself. If you all wish to avenge Lei Xuan, feel free to attack me."

"However, I will state the ugly truth upfront: once you attack me, or enter the forbidden zone behind me, I will show no mercy."

Lin Moyu originally couldn't be bothered to say a word, but out of respect for Lei Hao, he added one more sentence.

As for whether they listened or not, that was their own affair.

Lei Hao also flew to Lin Moyu's side at this moment and made one last attempt to persuade them, "Fellow clansmen, Lei Xuan attacked first. According to the clan rules, one is responsible for their own life and death. Why must you listen to the words of others?"

"Brother Lin is my honored guest. You should all know what my status is. Why must you make things difficult for me for the sake of one Lei Xuan?"

"If you all die here for Lei Xuan, it is truly not worth it."

Chapter 3010: Out of respect for Lei Hao, I will not kill you

Lei Hao made his final effort to persuade his clansmen as much as he could.

In his view, there was truly no need for these people to go to their deaths for Lei Xuan. As for the talk of avenging their clansman, it was more of an emotion incited by others.

Most of the Demon Race didn't think flexibly; they were straightforward and easily incited by others.

Such things had happened many times in the history of the Demon Race.

It was precisely because of this that the Demon Race was suitable for the 'raising Gu' model; if they died, they died, and no one would bring a group to seek revenge afterward.

But this time, it was somewhat different.

It was mainly due to two points: Lin Moyu had killed a direct descendant of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan.

Although Lei Xuan's status was not as high as Lei Hao's, and he was not some heir, he was a direct descendant; that much was certain.

Secondly, the place where the killing occurred was wrong; it was in the ancestral land of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan.

The ancestral land held a special status for many clansmen of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger.

It wasn't that killing was forbidden in the ancestral land, but it was rare for a direct descendant to die there.

Furthermore, too many people had seen Lin Moyu commit the killing.

If this matter hadn't spread and no one knew, then it would be fine.

But now that the matter had spread, if these people didn't seek justice for their own, what would others think of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan?

The entire incident, after a series of changes and incitement, had risen to the level of a matter of racial dignity.

Although Lei Hao had persuaded a quarter of the clansmen to leave, that was only because his status was high enough; trying to persuade more was of little use.

The 1,500 to 1,600 Dao Venerables before him were unmoved, and not a single one retreated.

Lin Moyu had already understood and said to Lei Hao, "Brother Lei, you should step back. They will not leave. Everyone has their own fate; perhaps this is their tribulation."

Lei Hao also understood and sighed helplessly, "Alright."

He silently stepped back and retreated to a distance with the few hundred Dao Venerables he had persuaded.

These Dao Venerables who were willing to listen to his advice were basically people from his own faction; if he were to ascend to power in the future, these people would become his foundation.

As for the others, he truly couldn't control them.

Lin Moyu looked at the thousand-plus murderous Dao Venerables, "Everyone, I once had a brief meeting with your clan leader. Out of respect for him, I do not wish to kill you."

"Therefore, I hope you all do not make a mistake."

Hearing that Lin Moyu had once had a brief meeting with their clan leader, some of the Dao Venerables showed signs of hesitation.

At this moment, someone shouted loudly, "Don't listen to his nonsense! How could the clan leader know a human of the Dao Venerate Second Realm? He killed our direct descendant in our ancestral land, causing our entire clan to lose face. Today, we must kill him to avenge our clansman."

"This is our ancestral land! Killing our direct descendant in our ancestral land is simply shitting on our heads."

"We are a Royal Clan; how can we tolerate this?"

"Even if the clan leader were here, he would surely agree with our actions."

These words were highly inflammatory, immediately causing the Dao Venerables to be filled with righteous indignation.

The onlookers watching the show also chimed in, "That's right! Having a direct descendant killed in their own ancestral land—they've lost all face."

"Hurry up and kill him; the dignity of the race must be preserved."

"There are over a thousand Dao Venerables, and he's only one person. What are you afraid of?"

"Even if he has some puppets, can these puppets block them?"

"What 10,000-meter forbidden zone? This is simply an insult. This is the ancestral land, not his human territory."

Amidst the words of the onlookers, the Dao Venerables of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan became even more agitated.

Their auras surged, and the auras of the Dao Venerables intertwined, summoning countless bolts of lightning and forming a terrifying pressure that swept towards Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu viewed the pressure as nothing. He sighed softly; the Demon Race's brains were certainly not very functional.

They relied too much on bloodlines. Relying on their bloodlines, they could advance all the way, thereby ignoring the power of the Dao Heart.

If it were among the human race and someone said this, there wouldn't be many who would follow.

Because human Dao Venerables polished their Dao Hearts step by step, and every Dao Venerable had their own thoughts and judgments.

It was incredibly difficult to incite them.

Lin Moyu looked at the large group of Dao Venerables before him. He recalled that in the past, facing even one Dao Venerable felt like facing the might of heaven, but now, facing these 1,500 to 1,600 Dao Venerables, he could view them as nothing.

Those Dao Venerables were filled with killing intent and looked like they were about to attack.

On the other side, Lei Hao's anxiety was overflowing.

He was truly distressed and did not want to see his clansmen die here.

But he was also truly helpless; he just couldn't persuade them.

Lin Moyu saw Lei Hao's expression and sighed softly, "Fine!"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. Legion Commander No. 1 flew over and raised his battle blade. Just as everyone thought a fight was about to break out, the space distorted on a massive scale.

One after another, terrifying Dragon Cavalry appeared between heaven and earth. They were bathed in lightning, clad in crimson battle armor, tall and imposing.

Every Dragon Cavalry radiated the aura of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm.

The Bloody Bone Great Dao intertwined on them, gathering into a sea.

What was truly terrifying was not the aura and combat power of the Dragon Cavalry, but their numbers.

The number of Dragon Cavalry appearing between heaven and earth exceeded 100,000. A full 100,000 Dao Venerable 3rd Realm Dragon Cavalry formed a battle formation, gathering the Great Dao into a sea, making the world solemn.

The whole world was silent; the previous shouting and roaring had completely died out at this moment.

Except for the sound of thunder, the entire world went quiet, without a single discordant noise.

100,000 Dao Venerable 3rd Realm Dragon Cavalry suppressed the entire scene, making everyone unable to catch their breath.

Lin Moyu's gaze was solemn, "Lei Hao is my brother; I give him face, so I will not kill you."

"10,000-meter forbidden zone, trespassers will die!"

As his voice fell, the 100,000 Dragon Cavalry formed 100 battle formations, with a thousand in each, completely enveloping this 10,000-meter area.

There was not a sound during their movement; it was like ghosts passing through, and in the blink of an eye, the defense was completed.

It was precisely this behavior that made everyone gasp.

What kind of army is the most terrifying? It is this kind of army before them.

All orders could be completed in an instant; they followed orders and prohibited what was forbidden.

Even such commands could be completed just by moving a thought.

Everyone had a thought emerge in their hearts: there was simply no way to fight.

First, in terms of numbers, they had been completely crushed; with a number dozens of times greater, they had no power to fight back.

Looking at the actions of these Dragon Cavalry, all the Dao Venerables of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan felt that they were facing a terrifying army.

An army could exert combat power several times its own; with the same number of people, they would have no power to resist against a well-trained army.

Not to mention that the number of this army was now dozens of times greater than theirs.

There was no need to think about it; if they fought, it would inevitably be a one-sided crushing.

Lin Moyu looked at the expressions of these Dao Venerables and knew that a fight would not break out.

Originally, he wouldn't have done this; he would have waited for these Dao Venerables to make a move, then released the Dragon Cavalry Legion to directly kill them, and that would have been the end of it.

But out of consideration for how difficult things were for Lei Hao, Lin Moyu still did not deal a killing blow and spared their lives.

In the current situation, as long as one was not a fool, one would not come to seek death.

In the distance, Lei Hao cast a look of gratitude. He was not stupid and knew why Lin Moyu had done this.

Suddenly, a purple spear rose into the sky. The spear was bathed in divine lightning, one turning into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into ten thousand.

Countless purple spears came crashing down towards the Dragon Cavalry Legion.

Chapter 3011: Even in front of the Demon Emperor, I will kill if I must

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned on the spot.

This spear suddenly appeared and suddenly attacked without any warning.

Before others could react, the Dragon Cavalry Legion had already responded.

All the Dragon Cavalry raised their sharp swords, turning into a blood-colored torrent to meet the spears.

The spears had unparalleled might; halfway through, they absorbed a large amount of divine lightning, making their power even stronger.

Every spear was shrouded in divine lightning, its might unparalleled.

The blood-colored torrent formed by the Dragon Cavalry army collided with the lightning spears, erupting with earth-shattering aftershocks.

After holding out for a period of time, the blood-colored torrent collapsed with a bang.

Countless Dragon Cavalry were crushed by the spears, but the power of the spears also turned into nothingness in the process.

The purple spears exhausted their power and returned to stand between heaven and earth.

Divine lightning rumbled and fell upon the purple spears, replenishing their power.

In the blink of an eye, the power of the purple spears surged again, and they would soon return to normal. With one strike, they had routed the 100,000-strong Dragon Cavalry army, causing an uproar among everyone.

The power of this strike had already exceeded the Dao Venerable 4th Realm and reached the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

"So powerful!"

"It seems there are still experts hidden within the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan."

"That is normal. This is their ancestral land; they can exert power far exceeding their usual level. As long as there is an expert of the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, they can crush this army of 100,000 puppets."

"Let's see how this kid handles it this time. I thought the good show was over, but now it seems it's far from over."

"The 100,000-strong army has collapsed by more than half, let's see him…"

Before the onlookers could finish speaking, those Dragon Cavalry whose bodies were not yet cold were resurrected one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the 100,000 Dragon Cavalry reappeared between heaven and earth, looking completely intact, as if the scene just now had never happened.

Those guys who were loudly discussing and preparing to watch the show were all like people whose necks had been grabbed, unable to speak.

Who could have imagined that the Dragon Cavalry, who had clearly been killed, would actually resurrect on the spot?

Lin Moyu flew out, his gaze icy, "Are you coming out yourself, or do you want me to personally drag you out!"

Killing intent was boiling; Lin Moyu's gaze looked towards the Dao Venerables of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan.

Crack!

Accompanied by a flash of lightning, a Dao Venerable of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan flew out slowly.

His body rapidly grew larger, drawing in lightning, with purple lightning covering his entire body.

In the void of heaven and earth, a huge purple lightning tiger appeared.

On the tiger's body, unique patterns were spread everywhere; each line was like a Dao Pattern, filled with the power of majestic lightning.

As soon as he appeared, he revealed his Dao True Body, accompanied by divine lightning, and his aura rose step by step.

He radiated the aura of the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, and not just an ordinary Dao Venerable 5th Realm; he belonged to the ranks of experts within the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

This was the ancestral land of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan. The combat power of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger clansmen here would increase by a significant margin; the stronger the bloodline, the more the combat power increased.

Lin Moyu could see that he should have only been at the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, but here, his combat power could reach the forefront of the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

The tiger's body shook, and its tiger claw lifted. Infinite divine lightning fell, transforming into a phantom giant hand, grasping the lightning spear in its hand.
