Jointly Slaying
After killing Yang Yuefeng and Yang Dingkun, Yi Yun gathered their corpses together and unleashed a burst of Pure Yang Fire, instantly turning the two into ashes and annihilating them.
The extremely high temperature of Pure Yang Fire can even vaporize ashes; this is true evaporation.
Yi Yun destroyed everything belonging to Yang Yuefeng and Yang Dingkun, effectively erasing all traces of their crimes.
This is the first time Yi Yun has directly killed someone in both his past and present lives!
Perhaps he was gradually assimilated by this world where martial arts reigned supreme, perhaps he had become accustomed to the battles with wild beasts in the Divine Wilderness, or perhaps it was because of his hatred for Yang Yuefeng and Yang Dingkun. At this moment, Yi Yun did not feel any discomfort from killing.
On the contrary, he felt a sudden release of the pent-up frustration that had been building up inside him for the past few days!
Over the course of ten days, he endured the pain of almost losing Jiang Xiaorou, the despair of being lifeless, being tortured, and about to be tortured to death.
Even a clay figure has some earthy spirit, and the so much repression and pain that Yi Yun had been suppressing had filled him with a violent temper. For Yi Yun, the experiences of the past few days had been a dramatic change in his life.
In dire circumstances, a person can change a lot.
Yi Yun looked up at the sky, but his gaze and senses could not penetrate the dome of the secret chamber. He had no idea what was happening outside. He was waiting, waiting for his fate to be decided.
He vowed that this would be the last time he would leave his fate to others to decide his life or death.
From this day forward, he will take control of his own destiny!
If in this world only the strong can control their destiny, then he will become strong; if the Great Emperor realm is still not enough, then he will surpass the Great Emperor!
At this moment, in the night sky, the Phantom Bone Longsword slashed, its sharp Sword Qi splitting the starlight, blood like a bright sunset, scattering across the sky, and an elder of the Shentu Family was cleaved in two by this sword!
The elder let out a scream as his entire body was shredded by the Sword Qi!
Another elder of the Shentu Family has died.
To date, five elders of the Shentu Family have died!
Elders whose cultivation level had not yet reached the Emperor Realm were utterly powerless against the Shepherd Boy. Once the Shepherd Boy seized an opportunity, they would be killed in one blow!
Those ordinary elders were beginning to consider retiring. Although they belonged to the Shentu Family and did their best for the Shentu Family, they had not yet reached the point of disregarding their own lives.
For them, staying alive is more important than anything else.
"Um?"
As the Shepherd Boy approached, the surrounding elders all retreated. The Myriad Ghosts Emperor frowned. "What are you afraid of! He was struck by the Ancestor's Deathly Sky Wheel ten years ago. He can't possibly recover now. I don't believe he can hold on forever!"
The Myriad Ghosts Emperor reached out and summoned the large bell that had been floating behind him, which flew to his front.
"Clang!"
The great bell tolled. Even those evacuated from Chuzhou City, dozens of miles away, felt their ears ring and their hearts pound when they heard the bell. Those with weaker cultivation were even shocked into coughing up blood.
"Clang!"
As the bell rang again, the sound waves approached. Some mortals who were closer could no longer withstand the impact of the sound waves. They screamed and were instantly turned into blood mist by the sound waves.
"Ah!"
Someone screamed in terror, and after two consecutive sonic booms, blood flowed like a river!
The Prince Chu, far away atop a mountain peak, watched this scene and sighed deeply.
He didn't know what to feel at this moment. Ever since the Shepherd Boy called out the name of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor, he had guessed that a battle between Great Emperor would inevitably affect Chuzhou City, so he ordered the residents to evacuate in advance.
However, there were too many people in Chuzhou City, and there was no way to evacuate them in time. In the end, innocent civilians were killed!
Tragically, they did not die at the hands of the Shepherd Boy of the Wilderness Clan, but at the hands of the Human Myriad Ghosts Emperor.
Both the powerful members of the Wilderness Clan and the Human Clan viewed ordinary people as ants.
A pitch-black bell hovered in front of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor. Ghost Markings were engraved on the bell, making it look ferocious and evil.
"My Myriad Ghosts Bell was forged using the souls of ten Human Race Hegemon, but now it lacks an Emperor to serve as its main soul. A thousand years ago, you killed my only son. Today, I will use your soul to serve as the main soul of my Myriad Ghosts Bell, as a sacrifice to the spirit of my deceased son!"
"Oh? How pathetic. Your body has no life force, and you have no descendants. What's the point of your life?" The Shepherd Boy sneered, speaking with sarcasm.
Emperor typically have long lifespans and numerous wives and concubines, as well as countless offspring. However, the Myriad Ghosts Emperor cultivated an ancient evil art, which led to his demonic Going into demonic possession. Furthermore, he practiced the art of ghosts and the dead, and his physical body had already lost its vitality.
A dead body can hardly nurture life essence again, so the murder of his only son was undoubtedly an irreconcilable enmity!
"You're courting death!" Touched in his most vulnerable spot, the Myriad Ghosts Emperor's eyes turned bloodshot. Thump!
He rang the Myriad Ghosts Bell, and the terrifying sound waves traveled down, shaking the earth. Under the influence of these sound waves, the ground rippled like water.
Waves of earth rippled outwards in a circular pattern, and the Prince Chu's Estate, which was already mostly destroyed, collapsed completely!
Countless magnificent palaces, artificial hills and flowing water have been reduced to ruins. The earth has sunk, and even the foundations of the towers have been overturned.
This was just the aftermath; in reality, the sound of the Myriad Ghosts Bell was highly concentrated and shot straight towards the Shepherd Boy.
This sound wave contains a soul attack!
Faced with the sound waves of the Myriad Ghosts Bell, the Shepherd Boy gently flipped his hand, and a short bamboo flute appeared in his hand. He always carried this bamboo flute with him, and he also used it to transmit sound when commanding the Beast Tide.
The flute melody rose, melodious and graceful, colliding with the resounding tolling of the bell!
"Boom!"
The sonic explosion swept in all directions; the two men's strongest attacks contained within the sonic waves were each other's soul swords!
Soul attacks are the most dangerous; if one is struck by a backlash, the consequences are extremely severe.
The two souls clashed, and within their respective seas of consciousness, illusions abounded, resulting in a stalemate.
In the sky, the soul of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor transformed into a burning crimson skull, like a demon descending to earth, exuding boundless power.
Behind the Shepherd Boy lay a vast Great Wilderness landscape. Within that Great Wilderness, divine dragons seemed to dance and True Phoenix soared. They might not be true divine beasts, but even if they weren't, they were still Primordial Sacred Beast with extremely similar bloodlines!
The extraordinary phenomena of the Great Emperor appeared simultaneously, and the battle had entered a white-hot stage!
"The Shepherd Boy and the Myriad Ghosts Emperor are locked in a soul-to-soul battle. The situation is at a stalemate, making this the perfect opportunity to kill him!"
From a distance of more than ten miles away, Shentu Nantian shouted!
However, several elders of the Shentu Family hesitated, for their companions had died too tragically before!
"Make your move! If you kill the Shepherd Boy, I will use his blood to refine a divine pill, and I will give one to each of you! If you retreat without fighting, the Ancestor will punish you severely if he finds out!"
Shentu Nantian brought out the Old Ancestor Shentu.
Under duress, and tempted by the Shepherd Boy's blood pills, the remaining five elders, along with Elder Su and Elder Mo, a total of seven, launched an attack on the Shepherd Boy.
They each unleashed their unique skills, determined to kill the Shepherd Boy with a single blow!
At this moment, the Shepherd Boy and the Myriad Ghosts Emperor were locked in a stalemate, making him an ideal target!
The divine light merged into one, like a seven-colored cloud, obscuring the blue sky. And the Shepherd Boy was at the very center of this cloud!
At this moment, everyone held their breath. Was the battle about to end?
Boom!
All the attacks erupted simultaneously in the night sky, tearing the void apart like a painting!
The dazzling light of energy blinded people, and the force field formed by the powerful energy blocked their senses, leaving them completely unaware of the outcome of the battle high in the sky.
The combined attack of the seven great masters, while the Shepherd Boy was resisting the solitary ringing of the Myriad Ghosts Bell, was a situation no one could withstand!
"Is the battle over?"
"The Shepherd Boy is dead!?"
As the light slowly faded, people stared intently and saw that the void had vanished, revealing what appeared before them to be a fairyland in the sky.
It was a vast expanse of azure ocean, boundless and shimmering with light.
And on the vast ocean, there is an island!
A sea floating in the sky, and small islands in the sea.
On that island, Spirit Spring gurgles, birds sing, and flowers bloom. Ancient peach trees, some ten thousand years old, are rooted in this land, growing vigorously.
At this moment, peach blossoms were in full bloom, their petals falling like rain, creating a shower of flowers. Auspicious light shone through the petals, and a Green Ox could be faintly seen strolling among the flowers and grass...
Green Ox, peach tree, fairy island!
A Shepherd Boy dressed in blue stood in this celestial paradise, holding a bamboo flute, his blue robe stained with blood!
The Shepherd Boy is injured!
The silvery blood flowed slowly down the Shepherd Boy's fingers, dripping with a soft, persistent patter...
Pink peach blossoms and silver blood created a beautiful scene in an instant.
[Some people asked why Shentu Nantian didn't take Yi Yun's Space Ring. The answer is like this: if you grab a child and beat them senseless, do you still want to take their lollipop? To Shentu Nantian, the protagonist's Space Ring was completely worthless. Stealing it in front of everyone would only lower his standing in front of the lower classes of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom (at least in Shentu Nantian's eyes), and would be meaningless. Later, when Yi Yun becomes powerful and easily kills hundreds or thousands of henchmen, people probably won't ask if they should collect all those Space Ring then, right?]
[Other questions, such as why a single Shepherd Boy could destroy the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, why he launched the Beast Tide, and so on... are all based on the book's setting, where the Tai'a Divine Kingdom spans tens of millions of miles and has hundreds of millions of people. I don't understand why it's said that one person could destroy it. I don't want to explain these kinds of questions anymore.]
[Some readers have been quite rude. Even if you're reading pirated chapters elsewhere, as long as you support Canjian (the author) or quietly read the book, you're still a reader of Canjian, and feedback is welcome. However, please don't read pirated versions elsewhere and then come here specifically to post reviews, using sarcastic and condescending tones to say things that may not be logically correct. Some readers have even threatened to stop reading the book if things go wrong, as if reading my pirated version is some great favor to me. This is truly uncomfortable to read. Please put yourself in my shoes and show more understanding and tolerance.]
[In addition, many readers have expressed their concern and support for the author, thank you all. I appreciate your understanding and support. I will do my best to write <True Martial World> well and ensure it is completed from beginning to end.]
