Chapter 296: Slaying Sanru!
The underground currents were stirred, like roaring beasts, howling as they surged upward.
Waves of vast, mighty qi swept outward like a raging tide, carrying an endless aura of destruction.
The small city was as fragile as paper in that instant.
In an instant, it was swept into the ashes, reduced to flying dust. Countless living beings died miserably in this catastrophe, leaving behind endless wails of agony.
“Ah…”
“Help!”
Cries of misery rose one after another, like heart-rending laments echoing between heaven and earth.
Countless cultivators were caught in the aftermath, sent flying backward.
Their bodies slammed into the ground with dull thuds.
The earth collapsed amid violent tremors, and countless rocks and soil were flung high into the sky.
They fell like torrential rain, striking the ground with tremendous crashes.
Lu Qingyang’s figure was forced back a dozen steps by the tremendous force, the ground beneath his feet seeming to sway.
A trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The bright red liquid traced a beautiful yet perilous arc through the air.
But in this moment, though he looked utterly bedraggled,
He could not hide the wild joy in his heart. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if celebrating his own victory.
And in his hand, the Golden Flood Dragon Sword that had been so invincible just moments ago
was now dim and lusterless.
It seemed unable to withstand the shock of all this.
Lu Qingyang’s right hand suddenly clenched tight, veins bulging on his fist, power surging within his palm.
“Boom!”
Accompanied by a deafening explosion.
The Golden Flood Dragon Sword instantly shattered into countless fragments.
They scattered to the ground like stars, emitting a faint glow.
Just then, Lu Qingyang sensed the power within his body beginning to surge.
His injuries were recovering rapidly, as if he had been revitalized.
“What kind of monster are you?”
The expression on Ruyun’s pretty face suddenly froze, and her gaze toward Lu Qingyang was filled with dense shock!
She had only been blocked by Jiangxin for a moment.
And her greatest trump card for this trip had been crippled?
How could that possibly be!
Ruyun was shocked.
And how could it be that she was truly... just now, Lu Qingyang had also used his greatest trump card!
At this moment, within Lu Qingyang’s body, a pitch-black Blade Horn trembled slightly.
Endless crimson qi was slowly drawn back into it.
Over these years, Lu Qingyang had fed no small amount of Heavenly Dao Essence to this Heaven Shard.
Just now, he had only mobilized it for an instant, and the Golden Flood Dragon Sword had been instantly defeated!
“Now… it’s your turn!”
Lu Qingyang slowly raised his head, his voice filled with ice-cold killing intent, and the aura around him surged once more!
A terrifying sense of oppression descended upon Ruyun’s delicate body.
Ruyun felt as though she had sunk into a swamp, unable to move a single step.
She knew she was going to perish here today!
Not only because of Lu Qingyang’s current aura and fighting spirit.
Her Master’s divination had also left her without full confidence from the very beginning.
It was as if she was destined to fall here.
Ruyun’s pretty face turned pale, and her heart surged and fell like a boat tossed on stormy waves.
No. I have cultivated for a hundred thousand years. Even if I truly am to perish here today, I will drag one or two down with me!
A crazed light flickered in Ruyun’s eyes.
She spread both arms, no longer restraining herself.
The might of a Human Immortal erupted from within her body, transforming into a sky-blotting killing intent that spread outward.
A faint golden light appeared on the surface of her body.
Streaks of resplendent golden patterns flickered in and out of visibility within the light.
Ruyun’s aura grew stronger and stronger, gradually rising above that of numerous Human Immortals!
“Two Junior Sisters! Even if we die here today, we will not disgrace ourselves!”
A voice transmission reached Rumeng and Ruyue.
They exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
In this moment, all three fought with everything they had, heedless of their lives!
Streaks of golden runes continuously drifted out from Ruyun’s body, transforming into countless golden arrows that shot toward Lu Qingyang.
The golden arrows were incredibly fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.
Rumeng summoned an Immortal Artifact spear and unleashed a sweeping strike. Wherever the spear tip passed, the void shattered completely.
Ruyue was unwilling to be outdone. She took out a golden talisman and, with a wave, transformed it into countless flames that howled toward Lu Qingyang.
Three attacks were launched simultaneously, a terrifying display of power.
Yet Lu Qingyang remained calm.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Within his body, the Heaven Shard trembled.
In the next instant, that Blade Horn flickered out.
Floating above his head.
“Boom!”
A tremendous crash.
The Heaven Shard, no larger than a palm, now flickered with a Giant Axe Phantom!
This Giant Axe Phantom exuded an endless, majestic aura.
Each axe mark seemed like a living thing. With a single chop, it split the void in two!
“Crack!”
The Immortal Artifact spear in Rumeng’s hand was instantly reduced to powder.
And that talisman shattered along with it.
Rumeng’s delicate body trembled, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying backward to crash onto the ground.
Ruyue was sent flying outright, her chest carved open with a hideous gash, blood soaking her dress.
“No!”
Ruyun’s face was pale as paper, her body trembling violently, her heart filled with terror!
She had ultimately still underestimated Lu Qingyang!
In the clash just now, she had not been able to gain even the slightest upper hand!
Lu Qingyang’s strength far exceeded her imagination.
No, rather, Lu Qingyang’s foundation was simply inhuman!
The instant that giant axe appeared, she had actually felt an impulse to submit and worship.
Such a thing had never happened before, and this feeling filled her with boundless terror!
“You still have more tricks?”
Lu Qingyang’s gaze swept the entire field as he spoke coldly.
Under the shroud of his aura, everyone involuntarily shuddered, as if placed within the Nine Nether Abyss, every hair on their bodies standing on end.
Ruyun’s expression grew increasingly grim!
The years of arduous cultivation flashed through her mind, yet she still could not match Lu Qingyang!
This caused a strong sense of defeat to rise in her heart.
At the same time, an endless rage rose as well!
“Junior Sister, I’m going.”
After a simple word of instruction, endless brilliance suddenly appeared on Ruyun’s body.
Dazzling and radiant as the Great Sun.
Her figure vanished from its spot.
When she reappeared, she was already within several hundred zhang of Lu Qingyang!
Lu Qingyang’s gaze contracted.
Not good! She’s going to self-destruct!
At such a close distance, a Human Immortal’s self-destruction.
Never mind Lu Qingyang, a True Immortal — even an Earthly Immortal would not dare take this blow head-on!
“Master, go quickly!”
Jiangxin had also sensed something was wrong and immediately sent a voice transmission!
On the other side, Rumeng and Ruyue, seeing their Senior Sister so decisive,
actually also disregarded reincarnation and self-destructed on the spot!
For a time, three Great Suns blazed across the heavens, boundless scorching heat sweeping outward in all directions.
“Go!”
Lu Qingyang urged hastily!
His expression was extremely grim!
A self-destruction of this magnitude — he absolutely could not withstand it!
But it was too close. Even at his speed, he could not run far.
And at this critical moment, Jiangxin actually used his own Heavenly Dao Body to forcibly shield Lu Qingyang.
The next second, the Great Suns exploded, heaven and earth went dark.
A Human Immortal’s self-destruction, for a newly born Great Thousand World like the Chaotian Realm, was undoubtedly a catastrophe…
