That scream meant he had lost!
The reason for his defeat was simple. He had poured all his combat power and soul resistance into fighting Li Tianming and the lifebound beasts. The moment his Heavy Sea Heaven-Stabilizing Pillar could no longer suppress the Shenzhao Eastern Emperor Sword, he could not withstand Li Tianming's other two little killing moves!
The first killing move was, of course, Yinghuo's Astral Realm Eonic God Dao. Its wings fused as one, followed by a backward thrust—a blessing for the chrysanthemum, a wail from the rectum...
The second killing move was more civilized, and it was also the move many people saw. Right after the Eastern Emperor Sword, the two sword wheels of Mysterious Chaos Gold and Primordial Chaos merged into one at the moment of slaughter, forming a slightly weaker but faster "Shenzhao" that directly blew apart Lan Zheyang's head while he was powerless to resist!
This was the role of Li Tianming's two Chaos Sword Princesses in a finishing blow. They were no good in a one-on-one fight, but when attached to Li Tianming, they had terrifyingly strong cleanup abilities. They were easy to overlook, yet every follow-up strike landed true!
Of course, Yinghuo was the same...
Lan Zheyang was still young, yet he had been blown apart from above and below, causing all the defenses across his body to collapse.

Indeed, apart from Xixi, Li Tianming had unleashed all his strength after his breakthrough in today's battle. This was also his show of respect for the fifth-ranked genius on the Talent Rankings, the highest-tier genius of the Primordial Chaos Mansion!
That strike directly blasted Lan
