"Harm a single hair on my disciple's head, and I'll dig up your ancestors' graves!"
The domineering voice bood, vast and mighty as thunder shaking the heavens. Bai Yunfeng shot forward as a streak of white light, landing in front of Hong Yu.
Wang Jiankun's pupils constricted. "It's you? Your strength..."
"That's right. I've recovered!"
Bai Yunfeng smiled faintly and looked at Hong Yu, his expression turning kind. "My apologies, little one. I'm late."
"Master, you're right on ti!"
Hong Yu grinned, letting out a sigh of relief.
Though he had only been Bai Yunfeng's disciple for a few months, the bond between them was already incredibly deep.
A truly heartfelt connection doesn't need a lot of ti to grow.
As long as the other person can feel your sincerity, a deep bond can be forged even from a single eting.
And such was the case for this master and his disciple.
Bai Yunfeng chuckled, brushing the dust from Hong Yu's clothes and wiping the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. His white beard twitched slightly, and his weathered voice was as warm as sunlight. "Little Yu, step aside and wait. Your master is going to vent so frustration for you!"
Bai Yunfeng slowly turned. The warm, kind smile on his face vanished, replaced by a cold, stern gaze that fell upon Elder Zhu and Elder Luo behind Wang Jiankun.
"Elder Bai, what do you think you're doing?" Wang Jiankun said coldly.
His aura, at the Peak of the Primordial Core Realm, erupted forth as well.
The clashing auras of the two Primordial Core Realm experts were like two colliding mountains. The roar of their energy was as deafening as thunder on a clear day. The contest of their presence alone was enough to whip up a furious cyclone.
The whistling, raging winds battered the broken walls and ruins, kicking up a thick, hazy smog.
Sand and stone filled the air, layered thick like rolling black clouds that blotted out the sun.
Everything went dark, and the atmosphere beca incredibly oppressive.
Bai Yunfeng's eyes shone like beacons in the darkness. "Hand those two over to ," he said coldly.
"Impossible," Wang Jiankun said, shaking his head. "They are of great use to our sect."
Bai Yunfeng sneered. "It's about the Void Heaven Creation Pill, isn't it? What's more important, your selfish desires or the centuries-old reputation of the Sword Sect?"
"Don't push !"
Wang Jiankun's aura was as sharp and unyielding as a Heaven and Earth Divine Sword.
"And what if I do?"
Bai Yunfeng snorted coldly.
"You're courting death!"
With a cold cry, Wang Jiankun struck first.
With a flick of his wrist, Elder Bai raised a Bladeless Heavy Sword and swung.
BANG!
The two streams of Sword Aura collided. The force of the explosion radiated outward in a tangible shockwave, so vast that the very earth seed to shake and the mountains tremble in its wake. This was rely a preliminary exchange, yet the resulting spectacle was already more astonishing than all of Hong Yu's previous battles combined.
'So this is the terrifying power of a Primordial Core Realm expert!'
Watching from the side, Hong Yu's eyes glead. 'This is a true expert... soaring through the heavens, roaming across the world...'
As both n were part of the Sword Sect's leadership, they were naturally unwilling to destroy its foundations. They soared high into the clouds.
The sound of their battle, BOOM! BOOM!, echoed from high above.
Below, tens of thousands of people gazed upward. They could see hundred-ter-long blades of sharp Sword Aura streaking through the void, each one seemingly powerful enough to tear space itself. They exploded in the sky, the blasts echoing throughout the entire Cyan Nether Mountain Range.
BOOM!
Another clash.
A thunderous shockwave ripped across the Celestial Universe.
A fearso pressure descended from the sky, making the legs of every expert in the Cyan Nether Sword Sect go weak—even those at the Celestial Soul Realm were no exception. It was the feeling of a mortal facing a Celestial God: powerless, helpless, able to do nothing but gaze upward in awe.
High in the sky, Bai Yunfeng's Bladeless Heavy Sword swung in wide, powerful arcs. His voice roared like rolling thunder, "Little Yu, what are you waiting for? Get rid of those two!"
"Understood, Master!"
Hong Yu grinned. 'It feels great to have such a badass master!'
Hong Yu walked toward Elder Zhu and Elder Luo.
However, several Elders loyal to Wang Jiankun stepped forward to block his path. "Hong Yu, what do you think you're doing?"
"Those two are utterly devoid of conscience. I'm enacting justice on heaven's behalf!" Hong Yu replied, neither humble nor overbearing.
The Elders shook their heads. "The Sect Leader has forbidden anyone from harming them."
"Move!" Hong Yu said in a low voice.
"Hong Yu, don't be so arrogant...!" one of the Elders said angrily.
Seeing this, Elder Zhu's face twisted into a ferocious and triumphant sneer. "Heh heh heh... Hong Yu, don't you want to kill ? Go ahead, try! HA HA HA, you can't kill ! Just you wait. Once the Sect Leader defeats Old Bai, you and your sister will beco my playthings."
"I'll say it one last ti: move!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you shout at us Elders..."
Hong Yu's gaze turned icy. "Xingtian, move!"
"What?"
The Elders were stunned as a silver figure abruptly appeared before them. A grayish-white light flowed in Xingtian's eyes. Its body, which seed cast from steel and shimred with a silver gleam, began to walk with heavy steps toward Elder Zhu and Elder Luo.
"Dammit..."
The Elders were furious and launched their attacks.
But Xingtian was a First-Tribulation Execution Corpse. Why would it fear attacks from the Celestial Soul Realm? Watching Xingtian move freely amidst their powerful Martial Skills, the Elders were utterly dumbfounded.
Elder Zhu and Elder Luo, who had been so fearless just monts ago, were also stunned. "H-How is this possible?"
ROAR!
Xingtian moved with incredible speed. It grabbed one in each hand, lifted them into the air, and walked back to Hong Yu.
"Damn thing, stop it!" one of the Elders growled.
Just then, Feng Xue Xin's voice suddenly cut through the crowd. "Elders, what these two have done is an offense to both gods and n. I assu you don't want to be labeled as their accomplices, do you?"
Luoo Xiaoguai's breezy voice chid in. "That's right! If Junior Brother Hong Yu kills them, it's just him cleaning up our own house!"
"You... you people..."
Seeing dozens of experts from the Wind and Snow Association staring at them with fiery eyes, the Elders were rendered speechless.
The power that Feng Xue Xin and Luoo Xiaoguai represented was simply too great.
They could only step aside sullenly.
Hong Yu nodded gratefully at the pair, then his gaze flickered with a deathly chill. "How would you two like to die?"
"N-No, don't kill ."
"Hong Yu, I... I can give you the token for the Void Heaven Creation Pill! Just spare my life..."
They both pleaded in terror.
A glint appeared in Hong Yu's eyes. "I can spare one of you. Whichever one of you kills the other gets to live."
"What?"
Elder Luo was stunned.
Elder Zhu looked at Elder Luo. "Don't listen to his provocations. This is a treacherous plot to divide us."
Elder Luo nodded subconsciously, but in the next mont, he felt an icy sensation from behind.
He turned his head in shock, only to see Elder Zhu, covered in blood, having plunged a broken dagger into his back.
As he died, the last thing Elder Luo heard was Elder Zhu's indifferent voice: "Sorry, but I don't want to die."
"You... you..."
Elder Luo closed his eyes. In that mont, he finally understood the true aning of the saying, "the most venomous heart belongs to a woman."
Covered in blood, Elder Zhu looked at Hong Yu, desperately trying to conceal the surging venom and killing intent in her heart. "I... can I go now?"
"Mhm."
Hong Yu nodded, then looked at Xingtian. "It's all yours."
Elder Zhu stared at Hong Yu in terror. "You... you're going back on your word! You said you would let go..."
Hong Yu laughed coldly. "I don't need to keep promises made to animals. Besides, I'm not the one killing you!"
"No! No, I don't want to die! I have Beauty Pills! I can keep my youthful looks until the day I die! I don't want to die! Aaaah..."
Xingtian stomped down, directly snapping Elder Zhu's thigh. It wasn't a clean break; it was utterly pulverized into a puddle of bloody paste. Elder Zhu shrieked horribly.
Hong Yu watched, expressionless. "Does it hurt?"
Elder Zhu nodded instinctively.
Hong Yu said flatly, "Then when you were cutting off their arms and legs for your experints, did you ever stop to think if they were in pain?"
"You bastard, Hong Yu! If you have the guts, then kill ! I'll beco an Evil Ghost and haunt you forever...!" Elder Zhu roared venomously.
Hong Yu smiled faintly. "An Evil Ghost? Do you really think you'll get the chance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xingtian delivered three more stomps. Elder Zhu's remaining limbs—her two arms and other leg—were completely destroyed. She was left writhing in a pool of acrid blood, a human torso, a truly wretched sight.
Li Tie frowned, unable to watch any longer. "Hong Yu, isn't that enough?"
"Enough? Not even close!"
Hong Yu shook his head. Using his Wandering Dragon movent technique, he zipped through the now-exposed underground prison, flinging open every cell door he passed.
A few breaths later, Hong Yu returned to Elder Zhu's side. He grabbed a wooden club and used it to hoist her high into the air, completely ignoring her venomous curses and screams.
Hong Yu looked at the people hesitantly erging from their cells and announced in a booming voice, "Everyone! This is the monster responsible for your suffering! I'm handing her over to you now. Do with her as you please!"
"N-No! Hong Yu, just kill ! You can't do this..."
Elder Zhu shrieked in despair.
Expressionless and without a trace of pity, Hong Yu tossed the limbless Elder Zhu into the middle of the prison.
The crowd of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people with special constitutions finally realized Hong Yu wasn't joking. One by one, their faces twisted with ferocity, hatred, and venom. They rushed toward Elder Zhu like a pack of ravenous ghouls.
Even so who had lost their legs dragged themselves forward with their hands, joining the punishnt of Elder Zhu.
"No, nooo..."
"Save ... save ..."
The people, each one a survivor of inhuman torture, tore at Elder Zhu. They bit with their teeth and slamd her with their heads, unleashing years of accumulated rage and resentnt.
In monts, not even a single whole bone of Elder Zhu remained. She had been literally torn to pieces by the resentful crowd.
"Bastard! You bastards..."
Wang Jiankun could only watch as Elder Zhu was brutally slaughtered, his eyes practically splitting with rage.
'My Creation Pill... my path to the Primordial Embryo Realm... destroyed just like that?'
Staring at Hong Yu and Bai Yunfeng with bloodshot eyes, a venomous, chilling light flashed in Wang Jiankun's gaze.
He had waited a full ten years to obtain the Void Heaven Creation Pill! Ten long years!
To see ten years of effort and his long-dread-of path to the Primordial Embryo Realm turn to dust, the killing intent in his heart toward Hong Yu and his master surged to its absolute peak.
Wang Jiankun beca hysterical, falling into a state of madness.
His venomous gaze locked onto the master and disciple as he roared, "Lord Owl, I request your aid in cleansing my sect!"
His voice bood like rolling thunder over the Cyan Nether Sword Sect.
The echoes lingered for a long ti. Then, after a mont, a sinister, sharp sound, like tal scraping against tal, suddenly emanated from the depths of the Sword Sect.
A frigid, sinister aura washed over them in an instant, sending a chill down the spines of the tens of thousands present. Even Bai Yunfeng, at the Peak of the Primordial Core Realm, tensed as if facing a great enemy.
"Tsk, tsk... the grand Sect Leader of a dignified sect can't even handle one True Disciple and a decrepit old man. Wang Jiankun, you are a great disappointnt to ."
