Chapter 1080 The One Who Can Slay Drakebane
Dawn had yet to break.
News of the Rivers family's annihilation had already spread like wildfire.
In an instant, it sent shockwaves through the martial world of Sakurania.
Soon after, the impact rippled across the entire World of Darkness at an astonishing speed.
The Divine Drakebane, who had remained silent for three long years, once again sent tremors through the World of Darkness.
A few days earlier, the major sects had already received word and were anticipating the inevitable retaliation from Divine Drakebane.
Yet in just two short days, this bloodthirsty god of slaughter had once again recreated the terrifying legend of obliterating the Phoenix Vanguard.
Two of the most prominent families in Sakurania were brought to ruin under Drakebane's hand in only two days.
Numerous top-tier experts were also slain without exception.
The World of Darkness fell into a collective silence.
Not a single sect dared to make any public statement regarding the matter.
Those sects and individuals that had been named by Drakebane had already begun secretly forming alliances, hoping to band together for protection.
However, all communication remained discreet, as no one dared to make any remarks that could be perceived as provocative.
Unlike the silent World of Darkness, the martial community of Sakurania was in an uproar.
Drakebane's brutal slaughter had long surpassed the realm of mere vengeance—it was now a blatant challenge against the entire martial world of the Sakurania.
The Rivers family was one of the dominant forces in Sakurania's gray zones.
Their industries and capital accounted for nearly half of Sakurania's total commercial value.
For over a hundred years, the Rivers and Clerys families built their legacies, cultivating tens of thousands of disciples and followers.
Many of these individuals held significant influence in Sakurania's political and elite circles.
The swordsmanship of the Northern Star Sect was considered a pinnacle existence in the martial world of Sakurania and even across the entire World of Darkness.
The power of these three forces was far beyond what the ordinary citizens of Sakurania could comprehend.
The Rivers family held immense power, possessing hundreds of elite experts and controlling two-thirds of Sakurania's top martial artists.
They also boasted formidable figures such as Gauthier, Kurtis, Juan, and numerous other supreme experts from the Northern Star Sect.
And yet, in such a short time, every last one of them had perished at the hands of Drakebane.
The magnitude of this event was something the martial world of Sakurania simply could not bear.
With this act of vengeance, the Divine Drakebane had swept away over a thousand top-tier experts. In an instant, Sakurania's martial strength was reduced by more than half.
At the same time, inside the Crystalwind Sect center, the sect leader, Reynard Langstaff, sat cross-legged at the center.
"This Drakebane is too arrogant! Vengeance is one thing, but why involve the innocent? By mercilessly trampling over the Clery family, the Rivers family, and the Northern Star Sect, he is openly humiliating the martial world of Sakurania!"
Nearly a hundred disciples knelt in neat rows within the center, all nodding in solemn agreement.
Among these disciples were the sons and heirs of powerful clans, the descendants of high-ranking officials, and prominent figures from various circles.
Reynard was ranked among the nine supreme masters of the Sakurania Martial Arts Ranking.
A grandmaster of the Crystalwind Sect.
Thirty years ago, when Reynard first emerged in the martial world, he had relied on his near-supernatural swordsmanship to challenge Elijah, the then-head of the Northern Star Sect, in a legendary duel atop Mount Fuoco.
