Chu Qingyun remained completely unfazed by the incoming blade and palm strike.
Under his control, the four Iron Walls lined up and hurtled toward Zhu Xilin with full force.
CLANG... SCHRRK!
Amid a grating shriek of tal, Zhu Xilin's blade cut into the first Iron Wall. His full-powered strike pierced straight through it, the tip of his blade jutting out the other side.
But the second Iron Wall ca right after, slamming into the first with a deafening BOOM.
Propelled by the trendous force of the impact, the two Iron Walls pressed together and surged forward, crashing heavily into Zhu Xilin!
His body took a massive blow. Excruciating pain wracked Zhu Xilin, and he couldn't stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But it wasn't over!
Under Chu Qingyun's command, the two Iron Walls suddenly flipped, pinning Zhu Xilin underneath and slamming him ruthlessly into the ground!
A loud boom echoed.
The solid bluestone ground of the courtyard shattered, and from beneath the two Iron Walls, Zhu Xilin let out a faint, pained groan.
As expected of a Level 9 Martial Artist, he was still breathing after being crushed by two extraordinarily heavy Iron Walls.
However, the third Iron Wall ca right after, descending from the sky and smashing heavily onto the first two.
Then, the fourth followed without rcy, crashing down with a resounding CLANG.
The imnse impact of the two walls drove the first Iron Wall deep into the ground. As for Zhu Xilin, who was underneath it all...
Under Wen Yanlie's control, it was incredibly difficult for the Iron Wall Martial Soul to defend against two people at once; it was always on the verge of collapse.
But under Chu Qingyun's control, it executed all sorts of complex maneuvers, crushing a level-nine Martial Artist to death!
With the sa Martial Soul, a difference in Control Power could result in a massive gap in the might one could unleash!
While controlling the Iron Wall Martial Soul, Chu Qingyun also unleashed his Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, blasting a sword strike toward the Elder, Peng Yu.
Although Peng Yu's strength was far greater than Zhu Xilin's, he was still no match for a Spirit Level Divine Weapon and a king-level Sword Technique. He was killed in a single strike!
"Blood Wolf Bite!"
"Blood Shadow Seven Swords!"
The instant Peng Yu was killed, the last remaining mber of the Blood Wolf Gang, Gang Leader Qi Gang, attacked. He unleashed his Soul Techniques and Sword Technique in a single, all-out strike against Chu Qingyun.
A blood-red wolf's head over three ters long, radiating a monstrous, bloody Qi, lunged ferociously at Chu Qingyun. Surrounding the wolf's head were seven crimson Sword Shadows, all slashing toward him in unison.
Qi Gang had always been the strongest mber of the Blood Wolf Gang.
In this Illusion Realm, his all-out attack reached the power level of a Silver dal Captain from the Great Xia Dragon Guards!
"Qi Gang, I was waiting for you!"
"Ten-Star Vine, Thunder Sword Montum!"
Chu Qingyun roared. Lightning flared across the ten vines. In an instant, all the vines twisted together, converging into an incredibly terrifying Thunder Sword Montum that blasted ferociously toward Qi Gang!
Each vine carried a Thunder Sword Montum at seventy percent of its full power.
With ten of them twisted together, all their power condensed and erupted at once. This was a Thunder Sword Montum with seven tis the normal power!
The blood-red wolf's head instantly exploded, and all seven Sword Shadows disintegrated!
Even the bloody Qi was scoured away by the terrifying Thunder Power!
"No!"
Sensing the overwhelming power, Qi Gang roared in defiance, erupting with all his Primordial Power in a final attempt to resist.
However, it was utterly futile!
BOOM!
A cataclysmic explosion shook the heavens.
All of his Primordial Power, along with Qi Gang himself, was blasted into dust!
Not a single trace remained!
A seven-fold Thunder Sword Montum was enough to sweep through the entire Martial Master Realm!
In less than ten minutes, the entire Blood Wolf Gang, from the Gang Leader on down, had been annihilated by Chu Qingyun with lightning speed!
Nearby, his parents, Chu Xuan and Liu Lanfang, were utterly dumbfounded, unable to process what they had just seen for a long ti.
"Qingyun, you... you're this powerful now? You even destroyed the Blood Wolf Gang?" Chu Xuan said, standing nearby with a look of utter shock.
Chu Qingyun nodded and gave a soft sound of affirmation.
'I'm not sure how to face these parents in the Illusion Realm. I know deep down that this is all fake, but the two people standing in front of feel so real. They're clearly living, breathing people!'
"By the way, Qingyun, when you arrived, did you see your uncle Chu Hua, or the village chief and the others?"
Chu Xuan asked, and even his anxious expression felt incredibly familiar and dear to Chu Qingyun, exactly as he rembered.
"Hua... he's dead. The village chief was severely injured, but I rescued him," Chu Qingyun said after a mont's hesitation.
"Sigh... Chu Hua... he did it all to save our Chu Family Village..."
Chu Xuan sighed. Looking at the devastated village around them, his eyes grew moist. Liu Lanfang couldn't hold back and lowered her head, beginning to weep.
The sorrowful atmosphere began to affect even Chu Qingyun.
Soon, the surviving villagers, led by their chief, gathered near Chu Qingyun's ho.
They were all endlessly grateful to Chu Qingyun. They spontaneously began to help, disposing of the surrounding bodies and washing the bloodstains from the ground and walls.
So of the more familiar villagers even started chatting with Chu Qingyun, reminiscing about his childhood.
All of this allowed Chu Qingyun to deeply feel the kindness and warmth of Chu Family Village, but at the sa ti, a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.
'Because I know,' he thought, 'this is all fake.'
'The more kindness and warmth I feel, the deeper I'm sinking into this place. It's taking further and further from my goal: the Golden dal.'
After the cleanup was finished, the crowd dispersed.
'The village crisis is over,' Chu Qingyun thought. 'Even if this is an Illusion Realm, my conscience is clear. I won't have to feel like I can't face my parents and family in the future. Now, it's ti to complete my true objective...'
Chu Qingyun closed his eyes, focused his mind, and carefully sensed the location of the Golden dal.
Soon, he sensed the location of the Golden dal once again.
This ti, perhaps because he was closer, the sensation was much clearer.
Following the direction he sensed, he walked out through the collapsed courtyard wall. After just a few steps, he saw a path ahead of him—one he had seen before.
It was just as gloomy and dark, with faint, eerie green lights flickering within. Low growls echoed continuously from deep down the path.
Seeing this path, Chu Qingyun understood instantly. 'This is the way back to the correct course!'
If he took this path and overca the dangers within, he could return to the correct road leading to the Golden dal—the one he had previously chosen not to take!
Peering down the path from where he stood, things seed a little clearer than when he had first arrived. Chu Qingyun could vaguely discern massive, blurry figures moving about in the darkness.
"Those are... Cyan Wind Wolves!"
