If 6 Grand Monarchs were already amazing in the eyes of the spectators, what if there were 3 more Divine Monarchs who joined the fray?
Nuts! Completely nuts!
With this terrifying line up, even a Pillar would need to think twice before going into a war against them! Fortunately, these 3 Divine Monarchs weren't part of the Dignified Alliance or else, the Pillars would be threatened.
Divine Monarch Liger of the 4th Pillar, Yellow Mist Flower.
Divine Monarch Zu of the 3rd Pillar, Pink Blossoms.
And Divine Monarch Bluist of the 2nd Pillar, Blue Haven.
Three Divine Monarchs had appeared in the battlefield and these Monarchs were renowned even until now! After all, they were part of the main force of the entire Havenleaf Constellation.
The three Divine Monarchs stared silently at Ancestor Sumire. Though they were not saying anything, their eyes were cold enough to make anyone in the sight tremble in fear. It was the same for those six Grand Monarchs. But they weren't that scared to reveal their expressions.
After all, these beings were far stronger than Ancestor Sumire!
"Cough! Cough!" Once again, Ancestor Sumire coughed blood. It seemed that her body couldn't take it anymore as her aura was weakening in a fast pace. Her eyes were turning almost gray as if she was about to be lifeless. However, she could still manage to say, "I knew it. The other Pillars are pulling the strings behind. Do you hate us that much that you will do everything to eradicate us?"
"..." The three Divine Monarchs didn't answer Ancestor Sumire's question. They just continued glaring at her with undying hatred in their eyes.
Then, a deafening silence permeated the atmosphere. It was suffocating that even the spectators weren't saying anything and were holding their own breaths, afraid that it would irritate the Divine Monarchs.
"Fight if you must. Why keep staring at me with daggers?" Ancestor Sumire sneered and provoked, "You didn't come here just to look at me with loathing, did you?"
The spectators were in disbelief to hear this. Ancestor Sumire was already in a very bad state wherein she couldn't fight any longer. The dao system she used had also disappeared. All she had was a severely injured body and a sword in her right hand. Where the hell did she get the guts to say those?
"All we want is your death, Sumire." Divine Monarch Zu said as her pink hair fluttered in the wind. Although she was also old now, one could see traces of her beauty when she was young.
"Alright, my death? Here I am in front of you. Take my life, then." Ancestor Sumire gathered all her strength in order to stand, and opened her two arms, welcoming the Divine Monarchs.
The spectators were stumped to see this. Ancestor Sumire was accepting her incoming death this way?
However, if one would think about it in a logical point of view, this was an easier and faster death. After all, Ancestor Sumire was already in this bad state and no matter what, she couldn't able to win against 3 Divine Monarchs who weren't even injured. Not to mention them, the Grand Monarchs were also uninjured! The escape paths were no longer available, and all she could was receive her death in indignation.
But the 3 Divine Monarchs were thinking different. As fellow Divines, they knew Ancestor Sumire's temperament well. She wasn't the type to accept death that easy even if she was already one step in that door. In fact, even if she was already a cornered mouse, she would still bare her fangs against the enemy.
Something was wrong here. As people who had a high cultivation, they knew that there was a thing that had yet to fall in its place.
And this assumption was what make them cautious.
"Hmm? Why are you bastards not attacking when I'm giving you the chance?" Ancestor Sumire found a button that she could press to trigger even one of the Divine Monarchs, "If you can't fight, then just turn and tuck your tails between your legs. So much for 3 Divine Monarchs appearing yet not doing anything. Afraid that I still have a hidden card? Stop embarrassing yourself here."
"You..." Divine Monarch Zu almost vomited blood from anger. This old woman was still good and sharp with her words! She couldn't take it anymore. She stepped backwards and equipped a silver-shining bow, "If you want to die that much, then I'll be happy to grant your wish, Old Hag!"
Then, she pulled the bow string and a white lightning arrow appeared.
"Rumble!" The ground shook once again as the power of the arrow was accumulating.
"Die!"
"Whoosh!" Divine Monarch Zu released the arrow and it came rushing towards Ancestor Sumire in a rapid speed! The arrow brought a terrifying momentum that burned everything in its track.
"This is the end..." The sectmaster knew that the ancestor was beyond saving. With the intensity of this attack, who knows if a single part of the ancestor would remain? He was scared and despairing. He wasn't able to help the ancestor and all he could do was watch and think of a plan to let the students escape this place. As a True Monarch, though he was worth a respect from the masses, it was different if Grand Monarchs and Divine Monarchs were in place.
He turned his head away and told the disciples to close their eyes. He didn't want them to see the incoming death of their ancestor.
The spectators were also thinking the same.
This would be the end of a Divine Monarch. And also the fall of Leaf Sword Sect from grace. They could not help but lament and sigh. But this was the natural change of things for those who were seeking for the dao.
While everyone was like this, Ancestor Sumire looked calm. She looked up in the sky and weakly said, "Youngmaster, you asked me what I want earlier, right?"
"..." The monarchs were surprised to hear this. What was this dying old woman talking about?
"Youngmaster, here is my answer. I'm requesting for your noble assistance against these monsters!" Ancestor Sumire shouted with all her might this time.
"Boom!" Then, a loud explosion reverberated in the entire battlefield.
