Settling Old Scores

In the sky, the Shepherd Boy and the Myriad Ghosts Emperor Shepherd Boy clashed. The laws of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation were no longer effective in sealing off the Shepherd Boy, and the elders of the Shentu Family began to fight him head-on.

Led by the Myriad Ghosts Emperor, and including Elder Su, Elder Mo, and several other renowned figures, a grand formation was formed to assist the Myriad Ghosts Emperor.

When the Myriad Ghosts Emperor unleashed his Ghostly Laws, the sound of ghostly wails echoed throughout the void for miles around.

A vast ocean of blood spread out, even casting a bloody shadow over the full moon in the sky.

Facing the all-out attack of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor, the Shepherd Boy lightly swung his beast bone sword, and nine runes lit up on the blade.

"Now!"

Several miles away from the battlefield, Shentu Nantian watched as the fierce battle between the Myriad Ghosts Emperor and the Shepherd Boy was about to erupt. Suddenly, he grabbed Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng beside him. At the same time, the array plate of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation flew high and spun above Shentu Nantian's head.

The great formation flashed with light, Shentu Nantian, holding Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng, was about to throw them into the light.

At this moment, both Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng tensed up. "Young Master Nantian, wait! The Shepherd Boy hasn't made a move yet. It's not the right time!"

Before Yang Yuefeng could finish speaking, Shentu Nantian threw him into the array of light. What power did Yang Yuefeng and Yang Dingkun have against Shentu Nantian?

"Ah!"

The two brothers cried out in alarm, feeling the space around them shift as they were swept into the great formation.

Behind them, Shentu Nantian sneered, "Good luck to you. If you can alert the Shepherd Boy and get him to kill you, then you'll have died a worthy death."

Although the core of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation is protected by a barrier, and the Shepherd Boy is busy fighting the Myriad Ghosts Emperor, if Yi Yun is really killed, who knows what reckless things the Shepherd Boy might do in a fit of rage?

Moreover, Shentu Nantian himself had a grudge against the Shepherd Boy. Therefore, Shentu Nantian would absolutely not take this risk.

However, Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng didn't care. If they could provoke the Shepherd Boy and distract Shepherd Boy to kill them, it might even create an opportunity for the Myriad Ghosts Emperor to launch a sneak attack, which would be making the best use of them.

Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng felt the space shift, and the next moment, they had arrived in the underground secret chamber of the Prince Chu's Estate.

"Um?"

High in the sky, the Shepherd Boy's heart stirred. A sense swept across the core of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation Array, and he knew clearly that someone had sneaked in just a moment ago.

The Shepherd Boy's senses passed directly through the barrier and landed on Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng.

Upon seeing the two people, the Shepherd Boy remained silent for a moment, but made no move. Just then, in front of him, the Myriad Ghosts Emperor let out a strange howl and struck with his palm. His palm transformed into a black ghost claw in the sky, aiming straight for the Shepherd Boy's face.

The Shepherd Boy flew backward, unleashing a sword strike. White flames ignited on the white bone sword.

This flame was pure white, without a trace of impurity, as if it could burn away even the Heaven and Earth Order.

Boom!

The ghostly claws clashed against the Sword Light, divine light soared into the sky, and a series of ghostly wails rang out. The unrestrained energy light poured down on the palace of the Prince Chu's Estate.

The palaces and pavilions built from various hard and precious stones were destroyed like sand sculptures under the burst of this energy light.

People watched in disbelief as the main hall of the Prince Chu's Estate's mansion was struck by a beam of white light and began to dissipate. It did not collapse or crumble, but rather turned into countless specks of dust within the white light. In the end, even the dust dissipated. This was true annihilation!

"Horrible!"

At this moment, the Prince Chu of Chu was already pale. He couldn't care less about the huge cost he had spent building the palace, which was equipped with countless arrays. Now, lives were at stake. This was a battle between two Emperor-level experts. If they really fought, who knew what would happen?

"Send the order to evacuate the people of Chuzhou City, and all personnel from the Prince's Palace must also leave this place!"

That Myriad Ghosts Emperor was clearly not a kind-hearted person. As the Shepherd Boy said, he cultivated ancient evil arts, so it was impossible to expect him to be kind-hearted.

The other was Shepherd Boy. He looked handsome and dashing, but he was a member of the Wild Tribe. He showed no mercy when killing humans, just like humans slaughtered wild beasts!

"Boom!"

The Shepherd Boy and the Eternal Emperor clashed once more. The ground in the center of the Prince Chu's Estate completely collapsed, leaving a huge ghostly claw imprint on the ground. Countless palaces crumbled and vanished, and the earth trembled...

"What happened!?"

Inside the secret chamber at the heart of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng slammed heavily against the wall. The attack from the ghost claw had been directly absorbed by the core barrier of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation!

Although the barrier did not explode, the terrifying tremor threw Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng, who were inside, flying so hard they almost coughed up blood!

"What's going on? The Shepherd Boy is attacking the formation?"

Once inside the formation, all sound was cut off, and Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng had no idea what was happening outside.

Just then, Shentu Nantian's voice transmitted through his inner energy reached their ears. "Don't panic, the Shepherd Boy isn't paying attention to you at all. He's fighting the Myriad Ghosts Emperor. The shock you feel is just the aftershocks of their battle."

Shentu Nantian was unaware of the situation within the great formation, but he guessed that the aftershocks of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor's ghostly claw would surely cause Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng considerable discomfort, which is why he used his spiritual energy to transmit his message to them.

What? The aftershocks are this strong?

Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng exchanged a glance, both secretly alarmed. However, since the Shepherd Boy hadn't interfered with them, there was no problem.

"Take care of Yi Yun first!"

"That's right, now that we're inside, killing Yi Yun is the most important thing. I've wanted to crush that kid under my feet and turn him into a pile of mud for a long time!"

The two grinned maliciously, the thought of facing Yi Yun, whose cultivation had been crippled, filled them with excitement.

They rushed into the place where Yi Yun was being held.

"Boom!"

The door to the secret room was kicked open roughly by Yang Dingkun.

"Hahaha! Yi Yun, you never thought this day would come, did you!"

Inside the secret chamber, Yi Yun, bound by chains, huddled in a corner. His face and hair were covered in frost, and his clothes were mostly torn and stained with blood—the blood that had flowed when Yi Yun was injured by Shentu Nantian. The blood had now dried and turned black.

Yi Yun looked like a beggar.

"Yi Yun, it's only been a few days, and you've changed so much. If I didn't know you were the only one imprisoned here, I truly wouldn't have recognized you. Is this the same proud son of Tai'a Divine City back then? Tsk tsk, how unpredictable life is."

Seeing Yi Yun like this, Yang Dingkun felt much better. He immediately felt that their risk of entering this place was worthwhile.

The sense of accomplishment from being able to ruthlessly crush this genius, who was once praised by the Lord of Tai'a Divine City and worshipped by countless Tai'a Divine City trial participants, is indescribable!

"Yi Yun, one should never be too complacent. The higher you stand, the harder you fall. You've fallen from the Heavenly Palace to hell. I truly feel sorry for you. But don't worry, we're here to end your suffering. Someone like you, now a cripple, is just suffering even in life, isn't he?"

Yang Yuefeng also said jokingly.

Yi Yun raised his head, his gaze passing through his disheveled hair and landing on Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng.

"It's you guys..."

A cold glint flashed in Yi Yun's eyes.

When Jiang Xiaorou's identity was exposed, Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng diligently prepared an alchemy room for Shentu Nantian. They even sent a telepathic message to Yi Yun, saying that it would be great if they could also get a few pills.

Yi Yun harbored a strong murderous intent towards these two people!

"Tsk tsk, your eyes are terrifying, but what can you do about it? What's about to begin is our torture and murder of you. Your eyes are good; I'll gouge them out and preserve them in a medicinal solution. Then you can keep staring at me. That'll be quite interesting."

Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng laughed heartily as they walked towards Yi Yun step by step.

Yang Yuefeng reached into his Space Ring and pulled out a dagger. The dagger gleamed coldly, and he lightly flashed the tip in front of Yi Yun's eyes, making a gesture as if he were to gouge out Yi Yun's eyes.

Yang Dingkun walked up to Yi Yun, raised his foot, and prepared to stomp on Yi Yun's face.

"So what if you're a prodigy? I can trample you like a dirt dog!"

Stepping on Yi Yun's face head-on gave me a great sense of accomplishment.

However, just as Yang Dingkun was about to step down, Yi Yun, who was originally in the corner, suddenly jumped up like a leopard.

"Splash!"

The chains binding Yi Yun were tightened!

Call--

A surge of powerful energy erupted from Yi Yun's body, burning fiercely!

The sudden change startled Yang Dingkun. Before he could react, Yi Yun his neck and pinned him to the ground.

"You!"

Yang Dingkun cried out in surprise, and at that moment, Yi Yun had already pressed down on Yang Dingkun's calf with one hand, while taking out a brick from his Space Ring with the other.

The black metal brick, gleaming with a chilling light, was the very one Yi Yun had used while traversing the Divine Wilderness. With a fierce glint in his eyes, Yi Yun held the metal brick and smashed it down with all his might, aiming it at Yang Dingkun's ankle.

How can severing a foot with Sound Killing Blade compare to the satisfying feeling of completely smashing it with a metal brick?

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Yang Dingkun let out a pig-like scream. Yi Yun's brick smashed directly onto Yang Dingkun's foot. The floor of this secret room was made of specially crafted metal, which was extremely hard. With the help of Yi Yun's violent strength, the metal brick was smashed solidly. Combined with the hard metal floor, Yang Dingkun's entire foot was turned into a bloody pulp!

The foot bone was smashed into bone fragments, and the flesh was completely mangled.

Yang Dingkun screamed madly, as if his throat was filled with glass. His face was deathly pale and he was sweating profusely.

He never expected that Yi Yun, who was already half-dead, would suddenly become so terrifying!!
