A sense of fear emerged in Jue Kong’s heart for the first time in his life. He quickly mobilized every ounce of his power, but the vines got stronger every time he tried to get rid of them.
The Beyond Heaven King’s Crown on Yun Lintian’s head suddenly shone with multicolored lights. At the same time, the moon and the sun in the sky had also grown brighter, emitting their respective elemental powers.
,m One hot and one cold. Jue Kong felt as though he had been throwing away between a scorching desert and an extreme ice abyss.
Rumble—
The thunder roared, and a thick purple lightning bolt abruptly descended, mercilessly striking Jue Kong’s head.
His body, which innately possessed the protection of the death aura, was instantly pierced through like a fragile piece of leather. Under the terrifying force brought by The Moon, The Sun, and The Thunder, several of his skeletons were directly shattered into pieces, causing him to let out a painful scream.
Jue Kong’s glowing eyes were filled with endless fear. He was genuinely fear this time. Throughout his life, he had never encountered anyone that could hurt him to this extent. Even Huoyun Yurou and Tianqi Zongwei couldn’t do it.
At this moment, Yun Lintian raised his fist and struck Jue Kong’s forehead. His action was slow, seemingly possessing no power.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the surrounding space violently collapsed. An incomparably clear crackling sound rang as Jue Kong’s skull shattered directly from the center of the forehead. An even stronger aftershock instantly spread to every part of his body, rendering all the bones into countless pieces.
A burst of crimson flame erupted from the inside of Jue Kong’s shattered body and ruthlessly burned all the tiny pieces of bones into ashes… The mighty Dragon of Death died just like that!
Until his death, Jue Kong still didn’t understand how the Ruler Profound Realm ant-like Yun Lintian could possess such overwhelming power.
In the next breath, the ashes gradually scattered along with the wind and disappeared completely. The sky returned to its original bright and clear as if nothing had happened.
Mu Qiuxue, Huoyun Zhu, Lang Moxie, and others kept staring at Yun Lintian in a daze. They felt as if they were dreaming right now. The opponent that even Huoyun Yurou and Tianqi Zongwei’s all-out attacks could bring him down was actually killed by a nineteen-year-old youth. They didn’t know what to think anymore.
Yun Lintian slowly descended from the sky and landed on the ground in front of the Vermilion Cane that belonged to Huoyun Yurou. He knelt on his knees and kowtowed at the cane. “I’m sorry, Senior. If I woke up earlier, you wouldn’t have to sacrifice yourself… Please reassured. I will take care of your clan as my family, and I will definitely bring everyone back to where they belong.”
In the distance, Huoyun Zhu covered her mouth and sobbed while looking at this scene. She raised her head to look at the clear sky and said chokingly. “Rest well, mother.”
Yun Ruanyu, Yun Meilan, Yun Qingrou, Yun Huanxin, and Yun Lingwei arrived by Yun Lintian’s side and stood calmly behind him. Although they didn’t know Huoyun Yurou personally, they had witnessed everything she did for Yun Lintian. They were grateful and would remember this gratitude in their hearts forever.
Yun Lintian carefully picked up the cane and wiped the dust out of it with his sleeve before turning around to face everyone. His face was calm, without any emotion. “Thank you for your hard work.” 𝐞𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
Yun Ruanyu smiled softly and said. “Let’s leave this place first. I’m afraid Du Huanfeng will come back soon.”
A cold glint flashed through Yun Lintian’s eyes as he nodded. When he was about to move, he caught a glimpse of Lang Moxie, who was struggling to get up.
Yun Ruanyu glanced at him and said. “He fought with everything he had and didn’t run away while he could. Although his previous action seemed to indicate that he was standing in the opposite party, I think he has already proven himself otherwise.”
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and made a decision. A thick tree branch from the Tree of Life quickly extended toward Lang Moxie at the fastest speed, causing the latter to be nervous.
Just as Lang Moxie was about to struggle, a warm current rushed into his body, and all the injuries gradually recovered at a visible rate.
Lang Moxie calmed down instantly and looked at Yun Lintian gratefully. “Many thanks.”
Yun Lintian nodded and said. “You should return to your clan as soon as possible. Someone from the Myriad Pill Palace would arrive here soon. I reckon there would be an upheaval later.”
“Myriad Pill Palace?… I understand.” Lang Moxie responded.
“Oh, please keep this matter a secret.” Yun Lintian said. Although Yun Lintian’s voice was calm, Lang Moxie felt a chill running down his spine.
He quickly replied. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.”
“You better be.” Yun Lintian smiled faintly and walked toward the village with Yun Ruanyu and others.
Lang Moxie stood up from the ground and stared at Yun Lintian for a while before leaving the scene. Tianqi Zongwei had passed away. The Nine Profound Beast Palace was no longer dominated by the Sky Qilin Clan. This was the best chance for his Netherworld Wolfe Clan to rise in power. He must seize this opportunity.
Yun Lintian arrived before Huoyun Zhu and bowed his head while offering the Vermilion Cane to her. “Senior, please accept this.”
Huoyun Zhu looked at him for a while and said softly. “You should keep it. In the ancient era, this Vermilion Crane belonged to Lord Vermilion Bird. Now, you possess Lord Vermilion Bird’s bloodline. This cane naturally belongs to you.”
Yun Lintian raised his head and stared at Huoyun Zhu for a moment before saying. “Alright. I will keep this first.”
Huoyun Zhu smiled faintly. “What’s your next plan?”
“My next plan?” Yun Lintian revealed a cold smile. “Of course. I am going to kill someone.”
While Yun Lintian was talking with Huoyun Zhu, he was completely unaware there was a tiny dot of black light slipping away from the place where Jue Kong stood earlier…
