In an instant, Luo Tianfan's body was riddled with holes, and blood dripped continuously, making him look extremely frightening. Xie Zhou, who had been following behind, was also very worried about Luo Tianfan entering the trap. He was about to rush to his rescue, but it was too late.
For a moment, Xie Zhou could only watch helplessly as Luo Tianfan was hit by a hail of arrows right in front of him, and fell to the ground instantly, his whole body covered in blood in a terrifying state.
Xie Zhou's tears fell silently. Clearly, Xie Zhou hadn't expected that he would only have Luo Tianfan travel in his place for a short while, but in the end, Luo Tianfan would die at the hands of these demons in his place.
Luo Tianfan and Xie Zhou were simply kind-hearted people with a sense of justice, so why did they suffer such a tragic and unsettling death?
"I didn't expect that the old woman would attract you instead of Xie Zhou. Since that's the case, we have no choice but to let you die in Xie Zhou's place. Our goal is that simple: someone has to sacrifice themselves! We need to let Xie Zhou know the power of all our sects and that he can't act recklessly like this!"
After hearing these words, Xie Zhou became extremely angry, his demonic energy surged, and bursts of red spiritual light burned behind him.
Xie Zhou's current appearance is extremely terrifying. The self-righteous elders and religious representatives behind him were so frightened by Xie Zhou's appearance that they broke out in a cold sweat and did not want to look at him, for fear of suffering misfortune because of it.
"How dare you offend me! How dare you kill my friend! If it weren't for me, Luo Tianfan wouldn't be dead. I will make sure you all die by my hand! I will avenge Luo Tianfan! You vicious villains!!"
After Xie Zhou finished speaking, his entire body emitted a bloodthirsty light, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry this time. The dignified religious elders looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
"You're just a woman. Although I've heard of your strength, if you were to fight against so many of our elders, you would definitely be at a disadvantage. You might even get beaten to death by us!"
One of the elders was quite confident in his strength and made a mocking remark. However, Xie Zhou moved with incredible speed and slit the throats of all the elders in front of him in a flash.
Blood splattered everywhere, and all those who fell were just corpses, still warm to the touch.
For a moment, the other elders looked at each other in disbelief. They hadn't expected Xie Zhou to be so swift, killing them all while their bodies were still warm, all in less than a few seconds.
The other elders knew they couldn't stay any longer, otherwise Xie Zhou would surely kill them all without leaving a single survivor. So they all immediately turned around and tried to run away, but Xie Zhou wouldn't stop them, and they all escaped.
"Trying to escape now? I'm telling you, it's too late. You'll all pay for Luo Tianfan's life! Give me your lives!"
After Xie Zhou finished speaking, he killed all of them with lightning speed. In an instant, everyone collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Xie Zhou, like a demon who had walked out of hell, exuded bloodlust.
Meanwhile, the Sword Sect learned of this matter. After all, Xie Zhou was a disciple of the Sword Sect. Although Xie Zhou was no longer a member of the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect still had the grace of raising him. Therefore, the Sword Sect showed him special mercy and did not kill him.
When the Sword Sect heard about Xie Zhou's bloodthirsty nature, they immediately sent someone to discuss the matter with him.
"Xie Zhou, we hope you will stop in time and not make the same mistake again. You have killed these elders. If you sincerely apologize and reflect on your actions, we will not force you to do so. But if you remain so stubborn, we will definitely attack you together!"
When Xie Zhou heard the elder of the Sword Sect say these words, he felt it was laughable. Now the Sword Sect could not go back to what it once was, and he could not reach the level of his former self.
Xie Zhou then firmly rejected the Sword Sect's words, and didn't bother to pay attention to the Sword Sect's hypocritical face. On the surface, they seemed so righteous and awe-inspiring, and now they were advising him, but in reality, their hearts were so dark and twisted!
"Of course, I don't need your so-called good intentions. I don't know if you're heartless or doing something wrong!"
Xie Zhou then turned and left. The Sword Sect elder behind him looked unwell, his face alternating between red and black, his thoughts unknown.
At this moment, after undergoing the previous demonic transformation, Xie Zhou's demonic power was extremely strong, reaching an unparalleled peak. Now, even if there were thousands of troops in front of Xie Zhou, they could be blown away and annihilated in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Xie Zhou had gone through so much and had now reached such a peak, Luo Fantian didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but he still came to advise Xie Zhou as soon as possible.
"I advise you to stop as soon as possible and not continue down this wrong path! What is there to judge right and wrong in this world? I know you are heartbroken by Luo Tianfan's death, and so am I! But we must move on from this grief! Let's hide your identity and live in seclusion! Let's never again be tainted by the troubles of this world!"
Upon hearing these words, Xie Zhou's eyes sharpened, and he immediately refused.
"I don't want to just disappear into obscurity! I've done countless good deeds in my life, but why do people only remember my bad reputation?! I only wanted to live a carefree life, but I ended up carrying the burden of Luo Tianfan's life. How can I face continuing on the righteous path?!"
When Xie Zhou said these words, his face was also very ugly. He was obviously thinking of Luo Tianfan's death and was still feeling a pang of heartache. Xie Zhou was a man of great loyalty and righteousness. He and Luo Tianfan had been comrades-in-arms for a period of time.
But now that Luo Tianfan has died in front of Xie Zhou, it's natural that Xie Zhou can't let it go. Luo Tianfan sighed as he thought of this.
"Since you're so arrogant and won't agree to my demands, then there's nothing I can do. You should know that once Xie Zhou's demands are made, no one can refute them! I just hope you can protect your life and not fall any further into depravity!"
