♂,
Xun Yan was covered in sword wounds, having dragged himself up here with barely half his life left. I did not hesitate in the slightest. The Pursuing Immortal Chains behind me immediately lashed toward him!
Only now did the terrified Xun Yan feel my terror. We were both at the third grade, yet the gap between our strength was enormous. He clearly wasn't skilled in combat. After all, the instant he used the God-Burying Coffin to block me, I had already sensed it—he still seemed to be relying solely on the God-Burying Coffin's sturdiness and durability! Against my current perfected third-grade Dao body, a God-Burying Coffin at that level was only slightly better than a wooden plank.
"Help! Help me!" Xun Yan fled in panic, his face deathly pale. Only when they heard his cries did the group of gods react and prepare to come to his rescue!
"Who dares come over!" I roared, intimidating some of the guards. At the same time, I used the Shrinking Earth Technique to instantly block Xun Yan's path, while countless Pursuing Immortal Chains and more than a dozen Void Swords all rained down on him!
Bang! Bang bang bang!
Xun Yan was already a wreck and had no chance of resisting. In an instant, not even his ruined body remained. He transformed into a phantom and tried to flee, but my Soul-Control Technique had been refined to perfection. The moment I cast the ghost-path incantation, the fellow became unable to move, and I seized him in one hand!
Although a group of third-grade Dao-bodied gods had reached my side by then, with some who had been close to Xun Yan already attacking me with Dao Artifacts, once I had him in my grasp, how could I give them a chance to strike?
