We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

"not good!"

Ye Qiu watched helplessly as Yang Jian, wielding his mountain-splitting axe, cleaved the unsuspecting and grinning Tenth Golden Crow.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward and pushed the tenth Golden Crow aside. Under the tenth Golden Crow's stunned gaze, he directly confronted Yang Jian, not forgetting to roar:
"Run!!!"

Ye Qiu held the golden wheel, ready to fight Yang Jian, but unexpectedly, Yang Jian cleaved the golden wheel in two with a single axe stroke.

As a result, it even emptied his health bar.

"How could you be... so strong?"

Ye Qiu's face was filled with disbelief, and then he died and vanished into the world.

After eliminating Ye Qiu, Yang Jian did not pause at all. His axe, imbued with black malevolent energy, slashed fiercely at the other Golden Crows.

Like Ye Qiu, none of the golden crows could withstand a single blow from Yang Jian; they were all felled one by one with his axe.

"Ahhhh!!!"

All of a sudden.

The screams from the horizon continued unabated.

"I said it before, whoever killed my mother! I will make their entire family pay with their lives!!!"

Yang Jian roared madly. Because of Yao Ji's death, he had lost all reason and was now driven by a madman's desire to avenge his mother.

That intense killing intent seemed to tear the very air apart.

Before long, several more golden crows fell, shot down from the sky by Yang Jian.

The tenth Golden Crow trembled as it looked at Yang Jian's eyes, which held no warmth whatsoever, and his demeanor was one of utter slaughter.

In the end, it was the Great Golden Crow who reacted and pulled the Tenth Golden Crow along to escape: "Tenth Brother, let's go!"

【kill! 】

【kill! 】

【kill! 】

[Good, good, good! Calling everyone "uncle" and "cousin" with every swing of the axe! The CG has been removed!]

[Damn Heavenly Court! Damn Golden Crows! Second Brother, kill them all! Leave no one alive!!!]

[Damn it, these bastards killed Yao Ji! And they think they can just run away?]

[Ye Shen is hilarious! He always wanted to fight Second Brother, but when they actually did, Second Brother killed him with a single axe blow!]

【Idiot Ye Qiu, I'll forgive you since you're so funny and you had no choice in the situation!】

[Charge! Make the Heavenly Court pay the price! Let's see if Second Brother is someone to be trifled with!]

[Yao Ji is dead, I no longer care about right or wrong! Let's turn the world upside down! Kill their grandma!]

Viewers in various live streams were thrilled as they watched Yang Jian unleash his divine power and continuously slay the Golden Crows.

While they were overjoyed, they were also filled with indignation. No one expected that Yao Ji would die, and in such a tragic way!
Things have come to this point; how could we possibly be satisfied without causing a complete uproar?!
In the game, all the players were already fighting like madmen, charging towards the heavenly soldiers and generals on Peach Mountain!
"Want to go?"

After dealing with the other eight Golden Crows, Yang Jian looked at the fleeing Great Golden Crow and Tenth Golden Crow, his voice as if from the deepest hell.

The axe cleaved fiercely towards the sky, a black axe beam tearing through the clouds, chasing after the figures of the Great Golden Crow and the Tenth Golden Crow.

Wherever the axe blade passed, the air burned fiercely, even suppressing the flames around the Golden Crow and dimming them somewhat.

The Great Golden Crow's expression changed drastically. It hurriedly activated all its immortal energy, and the Golden Crow True Fire transformed into a wall of fire to block in front of it.

With a loud bang, the wall of fire shattered instantly, and the Great Golden Crow and the Tenth Golden Crow were sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by the aftershocks of the axe's edge.

"Tenth Brother, you are no match for him! Run! I'll hold him off. You must retreat back to Heaven!" The Great Golden Crow shouted to the Tenth Golden Crow as Yang Jian sped towards them.

He knew that if things continued like this, neither of them would be able to leave.

He killed Yang Jian's father, Yang Jian's brother, and now he has even killed Yang Jian's mother. Yang Jian will never let him go.

Since that's the case, then why not create an opportunity for my younger brother to escape?

"Big Brother!" Ten Golden Crow was shocked to hear this. His first instinct was to resist. His second brother had already sacrificed himself to save him. Did he want his eldest brother to sacrifice himself for him as well?
But before he could even speak, the Great Golden Crow didn't give him a chance. It struck out with a palm, sending the ten Golden Crows flying, and then one of them came to meet Yang Jian.

"Big Brother!!!" The Ten Golden Crows could only shout in shock at this scene.

The Great Golden Crow didn't even turn its head.

Yang Jian was unconcerned by this scene, his eyes remaining as cold as ever. He simply said, "I told you, none of you will escape."

Liu Ruyan was constantly fighting with the heavenly soldiers and generals below. When she saw this scene, she felt both grief and indignation, but also immense relief.

Understood.

She now understood why Yang Jian and Yang Chan never mentioned their parents in the main storyline; she knew the whole truth.

As the sworn sister of Yang Jian and Yang Chan, and a player with the identity of Guanjiangkou, she now wished she could kill everyone in the Heavenly Court.

But right now.

Ye Qiu also anxiously started sending messages to Liu Ruyan.

[Ye Qiu: Little Sister Liu, quickly stop Yang Jian! Don't let him kill all the Golden Crows!!!]

When Liu Ruyan saw this message, she was furious.

[Liu Ruyan: You bastard, if you're going to die, just go die peacefully! What are you doing showing up again? You even joined the Heavenly Court to fight Yang Jian, but you couldn't even catch your second brother's axe! Now you're partly responsible for Yao Ji's death too!]

[Ye Qiu: I used too much mana for my Ten Golden Crows Formation, and I was simply unable to defend myself. As for causing Yao Ji's death, you know that was clearly part of the plot. Even without me, there would have been other Second Golden Crows Princes.]

Liu Ruyan remained silent upon hearing this. Of course, she understood that she was just taking her anger out on others, but so what? Even if Ye Qiu wasn't there, there would have been others, but the reality was that Ye Qiu was partly responsible for Yao Ji's death.

Just when Liu Ruyan was about to give up, Ye Qiu quickly sent another message.

[Ye Qiu: Let's not talk about that now. Go and stop Yang Jian! Don't let him kill the Ten Golden Crows!]

Liu Ruyan has gone mad.

[Liu Ruyan: What nonsense are you spouting?! The Ten Golden Crows killed Yao Ji, and you still want me to save her? Are you crazy or am I? I wish everyone were dead.]

[Ye Qiu: No, Liu Xiaomei, do you know what the Golden Crow represents? The Golden Crow represents the sun. The Ten Golden Crows represent all the suns in the world. According to the game's setting, if all the Golden Crows die, the world will forever lose its light and fall into darkness. I'm a player, you know. Although I can be resurrected, I can't really be considered a Golden Crow.]

This is something Ye Qiu knew when he was in the Heavenly Court.

[Liu Ruyan: What?!]

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's expression shifted slightly. The Three Realms would forever lose their light?

The consequences of killing these golden crows were so severe.

But she quickly regained her composure and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

[Liu Ruyan: Even so, so what?]

[Ye Qiu: It's not that anything will happen, but I don't think it's necessary. As you know, Sister Liu, the Golden Crow Formation was ordered by the Jade Emperor. We couldn't resist it at all. Even if I entered the formation, I couldn't break free. The ten Golden Crows were in the same situation as me, unable to control their own destiny. In the end, it was only through our combined efforts that the Golden Crow Formation was broken.]

[Ye Qiu: The Ten Golden Crows are kind-hearted. If they weren't, I wouldn't have asked you. Why insist on ending things this way when we can avoid such a tragic conclusion? Besides, who knows if the ending of the dungeon will affect the main storyline? If the Ten Golden Crows are killed in the dungeon, will the main storyline also fall into darkness?]

[Ye Qiu: Besides, in the main storyline, there is a sun, which means that Yang Jian actually spared the Ten Golden Crows in the end, according to the normal plot, don't you think? Yang Jian is going berserk right now, and there aren't many people who can stop him. You're one of them, so hurry up and stop him!]

Upon seeing these words, Liu Ruyan was also caught in a dilemma.

Ye Qiu kept sending messages, saying that even if he could get there now, it probably wouldn't be of much use, so he could only place his hopes on Liu Ruyan.

Just as Liu Ruyan was hesitating.

Yang Jian and the Great Golden Crow had already clashed. Yang Jian swung his mountain-splitting axe fiercely at the Great Golden Crow. Upon seeing this, the Great Golden Crow fought back with all his might, but after only a few rounds, he was defeated.

"boom--"

The axe slammed into the back of the Golden Crow, golden blood spurted out, and the Golden Crow's body fell like a kite with a broken string.

"What a...monster."

Before falling, the Great Golden Crow stared intently at Yang Jian, coughed up blood and said something. It gazed at the sky for a long time before finally losing its breath.

Yang Jian completely ignored the Great Golden Crow. After dealing with it, he saw the direction the Ten Golden Crows had fled in and chased after them without hesitation.

"Exterminate them all!!!"

Yang Jian had no intention of letting even a single golden crow escape.

The viewers in the live stream are now incredibly excited, roaring wildly.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Ruyan finally made up her mind. She broke through the obstruction of the heavenly soldiers and generals, holding a fan in her hand, and soared into the air. Her hoarse voice even pierced through the noise of the battlefield.

"Junior brother! Stop!!!"

Suddenly, a lotus petal appeared in her hand; this was the power of the Lotus Lantern bestowed upon her by Yang Chan in the main storyline.

Seeing Liu Ruyan blocking his way, Yang Jian's scarlet eyes swept over her, his ferocity undiminished: "Get out of my way!"

The axe was raised again, the black aura emanating from its blade almost engulfing Liu Ruyan. The live stream chat instantly erupted in chaos.

[Holy crap! What is Emperor Ruyan doing? Why is she stopping Second Brother?!]

[Kill! Kill! Kill! There's only one left! Let Yang Jian finish them off!]

[Emperor Ruyan, please don't pull those disgusting and underhanded tricks like Ye Shen did!]

[Emperor Ruyan, get out of the way! What are you doing?!]

Liu Ruyan stepped in front of Yang Jian and said quickly, "Junior brother, you have already killed nine of the Ten Golden Crows. You cannot kill any more. If you do, the Three Realms will be forever plunged into darkness!"

"What does that have to do with me?!" Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged as he roared, "All I know is that they scorched my mother to death!"

“This wasn’t his own choice! The Golden Crow Formation was ordered by the Jade Emperor; he had no choice in the matter!” Liu Ruyan said through gritted teeth.

The live stream chat had already exploded. Seeing this, everyone finally understood why Liu Ruyan had stood in front of Yang Jian.

But Yang Jian completely ignored him, coldly sneering as the axe light condensed once more: "Helpless? So my mother deserved to be killed by them 'helplessly'?"

Liu Ruyan was speechless for a moment.

Taking advantage of Liu Ruyan's momentary daze, Yang Jian gripped his axe and immediately cleaved towards the Ten Golden Crows.

"No!" Liu Ruyan was startled upon seeing this and immediately threw the lotus petals in her hand to block Yang Jian.

As the axe struck the lotus petals, the light of the Lotus Lantern burst forth instantly, forming a soft yet indestructible barrier that forcefully blocked the black axe beam in mid-air.

With a muffled "hum," Yang Jian was jolted back half a step, looking at the dazzling light before him with slight astonishment.

The lotus petals slowly dissipated under this attack.

Yang Jian gave Liu Ruyan a deep look, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally slowly put down the mountain-splitting axe and headed towards the Heavenly Court.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of Taoshan—

After the Ten Golden Crows were defeated, the players joined forces and defeated the heavenly soldiers and generals. A dark mass of people surged towards Yang Jian, and the leading players shouted at him:

"Hahaha! Second brother! What are your plans!"

"Whatever you want to do, we brothers will go and turn the world upside down with you!"

"Damn it! Charge! Let's show them what we're made of!"

"What a load of rubbish! They don't even care about the billions of living beings in the mortal realm! What kind of gods are they!"

Looking at the many players present, Yang Jian was also somewhat moved. His hand holding the axe trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He turned to look in the direction of the Heavenly Court, his voice icy cold: "Fine, since that's the case, then today we'll turn the world upside down!!!"

"boom!"

Before Yang Jian could finish speaking, the mountain-splitting axe slammed into the ground, instantly shattering the rock strata of Peach Mountain. A black column of energy shot straight into the sky, tearing open a crack in the heavens leading to the Southern Heavenly Gate. Thunder surged within the crack, as if even the barrier of the Heavenly Court was shaken by this hatred.

"Kill with me!"

Yang Jian was the first to rise into the air, his cloak fluttering in the gale, exuding a fierce aura.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of players cheered loudly after hearing Yang Jian's words and followed closely behind him, beginning their ascent into the sky.

The ten golden crows, standing behind Liu Ruyan, collapsed to the ground upon witnessing this scene, realizing they had escaped with their lives.

However, he survived, but his second brother, eldest brother, and all his brothers had already perished.

As they watched Yang Jian lead an army of hundreds of thousands straight toward the Heavenly Court, the Ten Golden Crows' eyes held a complex mix of hatred, shame, and immense fear.

He turned to look at Liu Ruyan, intending to thank her, but he couldn't find her anywhere.

Liu Ruyan certainly wouldn't care about the Ten Golden Crows. Although she saved the Ten Golden Crows, like Yang Jian, she didn't have a good impression of them. She only acted out of consideration for various factors.

Now, Liu Ruyan, of course, followed Yang Jian directly towards the Heavenly Court! (End of Chapter)
