The people who had suddenly appeared were none other than Ji Yongyan, the Headmaster of the Heavenly Person Academy, along with several other Mansion Masters.
Ever since Lin Tang had visited the Heavenly Person Academy and nearly obliterated it, they had been keeping a low profile, not daring to trouble him again. The Holy Corpse they had placed inside the academy had also been "consud" by Lin Tang, resulting in a significant loss.
So, why had another Holy Corpse appeared at this ti? Naturally, it had been specifically excavated from a relevant ancient tomb. As for whether this constituted desecration of their ancestors… With the great catastrophe imminent, should they really care about such trivial matters?
As Ji Yongyan and the others knelt and loudly recited the classics of the ancient sages, the righteous energy released by the Holy Corpse grew increasingly potent and pure. The resulting purple flas completely enveloped Si Dele's massive body. This was the sa purple fire that had once forced Mu Fan to flee in disarray and had nearly killed Yan Luoyang. Its power was incredible; it was the ultimate bane of all things evil and demonic.
But just when they thought they were on the verge of success, Si Dele, after its initial shock, sneered with disdain. "Even when he was alive, this pedantic scholar was no match for . You expect a re corpse to deal with ?"
WHOOSH!
Its tail lashed out again like a whip. Lin Xincheng, the Star Mansion Master, was turned into a mist of blood before he could even grunt. All his muscles and bones were pulverized into fine powder.
In fact, just the night before, he had observed the heavens. No matter how he interpreted the signs, they all foretold great, ominous danger. He was almost certain that he would face a bloody calamity. Of course, he was afraid to die, but when the day of the Underworld's invasion truly arrived, he still ca here without a second thought.
"Xincheng!" Ji Yongyan cried out in grief. The other Mansion Masters were similarly filled with sorrow and fear.
Ni Xiuyun's pupils shrank as she watched wide-eyed, about to follow in Lin Xincheng's footsteps. Si Dele's blood-soaked whip was about to strike her. Her heart sank, unwilling to die like this. At the sa ti, her hatred for Long Tianji surged anew. That damned bringer of disaster! If he hadn't annihilated all the Underworld's Soul Hooking Envoys back then, perhaps this invasion wouldn't be happening today…
Of course, that was a purely naive thought. The Underworld had been preparing to invade the human realm for ages, likely since before Ni Xiuyun's ancestors for eighteen generations back were even born. Whether or not Long Tianji had annihilated the Soul Hooking Envoys, the Underworld's invasion was a certainty. It was unchangeable.
Ning Yuexi, oh, Ning Yuexi, you always boasted about how formidable Long Tianji was. So where is he at this critical mont? My biggest regret is failing to raise you properly, letting you be so blind as to choose a man like him…
Ni Xiuyun closed her eyes, bracing for death.
CRACK!
A seemingly ordinary hand suddenly shot out and grabbed the tip of Si Dele's tail. Its sharp point had barely pierced Ni Xiuyun's skin, drawing only a trickle of blood. She hadn't died. She had survived!
Ni Xiuyun opened her eyes again. Before her stood the body of Long Tianji, minuscule in comparison to Si Dele. Bright flas began to burn from his body, his head, his brows, and his eyes. His Divine Sense swept out across a ten-thousand-ter radius, capturing the countless tragedies unfolding across the human realm. His rage fused with the fire, causing it to swell hundreds of ters in an instant, forming a ferocious dragon head in the air that roared toward the heavens!
"ROAR!!!"
The entire city echoed with the stirring dragon's cry. Upon hearing the sound, the Underworld monsters that were wreaking havoc froze as if struck by lightning. Those closer spewed blood and collapsed. A few even had their souls annihilated, dying instantly.
"You... all deserve to die!"
Lin Tang's icy voice reached Si Dele's ears. Its forrly mocking and relaxed expression instantly beca grave and incredulous. What a joke! This is the human realm, an age of terminal decline. How can such a powerful human still exist? Is he the incarnation of a god or an Earth Immortal? Or maybe a specially crafted human Puppet? No! He is human! A living, breathing human!
"I know now… you're that Long Tianji! You're supposed to be just a Heavenly King, how could you…" Si Dele began to question reality. It hasn't been that long since the last Soul Hooking Envoys ca to the human realm to gather intelligence! How did a minor Heavenly King advance to this level so quickly? It's absurd!
"I told you," Lin Tang said, his voice devoid of warmth, "you deserve to die." He naturally couldn't be bothered to answer its questions. He threw a punch backed by the power of his divine soul. The earth trembled and the heavens roared. Ji Yongyan, Ni Xiuyun, and the others couldn't even keep their footing and were sent staggering.
BANG!
Si Dele was struck so hard that every pore on its body gushed blood. It was sent flying backward, but since the tip of its tail was still in Lin Tang's grip, its massive body was yanked back the mont the tail went taut.
What t it was Lin Tang's second punch, then his third, and then innurable more. Lin Tang's arms beca a blur of afterimages. First, his blows caused Si Dele's flesh to swell grotesquely. Then, the swollen parts exploded like balloons, splattering flesh everywhere and revealing ghastly white bone. Most of its body was pulverized. Like a yo-yo, it was repeatedly knocked away only to be yanked back again and again.
Ji Yongyan and the others could only stare blankly at the scene, their mouths agape. Netizens watching on their screens fell into a deathly silence.
Was it cathartic?
Absolutely.
Was it shocking?
Needless to say.
"I don't know why, but even though I hated this dinosaur-like demon a mont ago, I kind of feel sorry for it now."
"Yeah, this is just too brutal!"
"The Dragon State Preceptor has finally arrived and taken action!"
"I've seen videos of the Dragon State Preceptor fighting before and knew he was incredibly powerful, but only now do I truly understand the sheer scale of his strength!"
"The monster that missiles were completely useless against is like a three-year-old child in his hands."
