Shock and Awe

His heart was pierced, and he bled to death. In addition, Shentu Nantian had recklessly burned his life essence earlier, so now, the Life Fire was gradually extinguished, and his life was coming to an end.

Shentu Nantian stared wide-eyed at the black stone ground, and that stone became the last thing he saw of the world...

A man who aspired to become a powerful figure in the Tianyuan Realm and would stop at nothing to achieve it died unwillingly, carrying with him his ambition and deep hatred.

No matter how glorious a martial artist was in life, or how much world-destroying power they possessed, if they die in a secret realm, they often die as gruesomely as wild dogs. This is perhaps the tragedy of martial artists.

Surrounding Shentu Nantian, many trial participants witnessed Shentu Nantian death and fell silent in fear.

Shentu Nantian, a figure of such prominence in the Tianyuan Realm, died in the Empress Secret Realm, at the hands of Yi Yun.

At the early stage of the Dao Seed realm, Yi Yun killed a genius at the peak of the Dao Seed realm. He is already this terrifying. If he is given another thousand years, it is unimaginable what level he will reach!

Many people who had grudges against Yi Yun became nervous, as Yi Yun might take the opportunity to kill them.

After all, Yi Yun's killing of Shentu Nantian and obtaining the Empress Inheritance was something that couldn't be made public.

Killing Shentu Nantian alone might not be a big deal; the Lin family isn't afraid of the Shentu Family, and they can easily fight back. However, the matter of the Empress Inheritance is extremely sensitive!

Once word gets out that Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong have obtained the Empress Inheritance, all the major Lineage in the Tianyuan Realm might target the Lin family Yi Yun. In that case, Yi Yun would surely die without a burial place!

In this situation, would Yi Yun choose to kill him to silence him?

At this moment, only four or five members of the Shentu Family remained on Black Stone Square. Their palms were sweaty, and they were extremely nervous.

Among them was a member of the Shentu Family who had gone through the trials with Yi Yun. He was even more afraid. He had repeatedly mocked Yi Yun before, saying that he would torture and kill Yi Yun as soon as he was eliminated. He even threatened to record the process of torturing and killing Yi Yun with an array plate for Shentu Nantian to enjoy.

Even now, his legs tremble when he thinks about what he did back then.

Yi Yun looked at Shentu Nantian's corpse, sensed and probed his dantian and soul sea, and after confirming that he was dead, he took out a red lotus seed from his Space Ring and swallowed it directly.

Since the Red Lotus was planted in the fifth level of the Empress Secret Realm cultivation space, the Red Lotus seeds haven't run out after being eaten.

However, the red lotus is Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It takes a very long time for it to produce a single lotus seed, requiring the gathering of a large amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Therefore, the red lotus seed is extremely precious to Yi Yun.

However, the situation is critical now. Yi Yun was too exhausted in the battle with Shentu Nantian. Under these circumstances, he and Lin Xin Tong, who possess the Empress Inheritance, are surrounded by so many trial participants with unknown intentions. They might be attacked by these people!

Besides them, there are two other people with the blood moon mark on their bodies, but their whereabouts are unknown, and they haven't come out yet.

Yi Yun was also very wary of these two mysterious people.

Therefore, Yi Yun decisively chose to swallow a red lotus seed. After swallowing the red lotus seed, a rich Pure Yang Energy immediately surged into Yi Yun's dantian, and his consumed power was quickly replenished.

Such a pure Yang-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, used to replenish Yi Yun's physical strength, coupled with the assistance of Purple Crystal, has an effect that can only be described as miraculous.

Yi Yun scanned his surroundings. After breaking through to the Dao Seed realm, he could roughly judge the strength of everyone present. These trial participants were all top figures in various trials. Among them, there were a few who, even if they were not as good as Shentu Nantian, were not far off.

Yi Yun's gaze lingered briefly on the group. If they joined forces, it wouldn't be easy for him and Lin Xin Tong to fight together.

Even if they kill them all, Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong will inevitably be greatly weakened. If those two mysterious figures who disappeared reappear, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The atmosphere froze for a moment. After killing the attacker, Lin Xin Tong returned to Yi Yun's side, and the two stood together, facing the crowd.

Not only Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong are under pressure, but the other trial participants are also under great pressure!

Many people are considering whether Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong killed someone to cover up their crime and preserve the secret of the Empress Inheritance.

However, in everyone's opinion, unless Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong were insane, they wouldn't do such a thing. If they really killed everyone, how would they explain themselves after they got out?

The forces behind these people are all guarding the entrance to the Empress Secret Realm. If they all perish here and only the Lin family members emerge, everyone will realize something is wrong, and the Lin family will surely be attacked by all sides.

The situation was becoming increasingly complicated. At this moment, several members of the Shentu Family secretly communicated. "Gentlemen, what are you still hesitating about? That Yi Yun doesn't have much strength left. He only has Lin Xin Tong left. Let's attack together. Are we afraid of just one woman?"

"So many treasures! They've got them all. As long as we kill them, we won't take a single penny of those treasures; they're all yours! And that little girl, Lin Xin Tong, she has Pure Yin Body. Originally, obtaining her primordial Yin would greatly benefit our cultivation, and now that her power has greatly increased, she's an excellent furnace. Plus, her appearance and figure are absolutely stunning. Such a gem, aren't you tempted? Enjoy her pleasure, need I say more?"

Several members of the Shentu Family were constantly inciting and persuading them.

However, none of the trial participants made any rash moves.

The opportunities that Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong possess are tempting, but one must be alive to seize them. Yi Yun's strength has already been terrifying, while Lin Xin Tong's is even more unfathomable.

In a real fight, they had no confidence whatsoever. Optimistically, they estimated that most of them would die, and they didn't even know if they could win.

Even if they manage to defeat Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong in a pyrrhic victory and obtain the Empress Inheritance, they will still have to go through a bloodbath that will inevitably result in rivers of blood!

Even the ultimate victor, after leaving the Empress Secret Realm, may not be able to survive the encirclement and attack by numerous forces...

Many hesitated, Shentu Family members grew increasingly anxious. "Gentlemen, hesitation will only lead to disaster! Such an extraordinary opportunity is right before your eyes; if you don't seize it, you'll regret it later! After the great battle between Yi Yun and our young master, he is no longer a threat! His remaining strength is almost negligible, but if you give him time to recover, he might regain his peak combat power in just a few hours. By then, it will truly be too late to make a move!"

Several members of the Shentu Family spared no effort in bewitching people. While transmitting their voices, they also kept an eye on Yi Yun, trying their best not to show any unusual behavior. Just then, a sharp, shrill whistling sound suddenly rang out!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A crimson-gold ray of light sliced through the air, shooting towards them at an incredible speed.

People were so shocked that they retreated in all directions, but the Shentu Family members were the first to be hit. They saw the golden light coming and had no time to react.

In an instant, their minds went blank; the power and speed of this golden light far exceeded their level of understanding.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With several loud bangs, several people were struck by the golden light like stationary targets! They didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were thrown backward by the immense force.

A crimson-gold beam pierced through their bodies, exiting from their backs and spraying a cloud of blood!

The blood rain, carried by the golden light, shot out more than ten meters away, forming a sky full of red mist, which was then instantly scorched and evaporated by the Pure Yang Flame!

"Ding ding ding!"

Four arrows struck the black stone pillar in quick succession, shattering and exploding!

These people were thrown high into the air like broken sacks before crashing heavily to the ground.

Blood filled Black Stone Square. Their bodies convulsed, their faces were deathly pale, and they stared wide-eyed at Yi Yun.

Yi Yun stood a dozen feet away, dressed in blue, with a bow in his left hand and his arms hanging down, expressionless, as if he hadn't moved at all.

The Shentu Family members were rapidly losing their life force. In their final moments, their eyes were glazed over. Had the arrow just now been shot by Yi Yun?

He just had a fierce battle with Shentu Nantian, and his stamina was almost depleted...

Why... why does he still possess such terrifying power...?

Even in death, these members of the Shentu Family never saw Yi Yun's archery movements clearly; a deep fear filled their hearts.

The Youth in Green before them looked like a god of death.

One by one, the disciples of the Shentu Family breathed their last. Yi Yun gripped the Sun-Shooting Nine Sorrows Bow, the sharp blades at both ends of the bow tip gleaming with a chilling light.

The members of the Shentu Family were all Origin Foundation Realm martial artists, and their strength was vastly different from Yi Yun's. With the Sun-Shooting Nine Sorrows Bow, Yi Yun could instantly kill them with very little Yuan Qi.

The lightning-fast slaughter left many trial participants ashen-faced. Just now, not only did the Shentu Family members who were killed fail to see Yi Yun shoot the arrow, but the other trial participants below the Dao Seed Realm also only saw a flash of golden light before several people were sent flying, followed by a cloud of blood mist and an explosion of vital energy.

Such a murder process is chilling!

This means that if Yi Yun wanted to kill them, it would be a matter of an instant. As long as they were below the Dao Seed Realm, no matter how many people there were, they would be sent to their deaths!

Only a few trial participants at the peak of the Dao Seed Realm were able to remain calm under such circumstances.

They exchanged a glance, their faces darkening. Yi Yun might have guessed what tricks the Shentu Family members were up to, or perhaps he had always intended to kill all members of the Shentu Family. These people were not surprised, but their swift and decisive actions were chilling.

Did he hold back some strength during his fierce battle with Shentu Nantian, or was his recovery ability so amazing that he regained a significant portion of his strength in just a short while after killing Shentu Nantian?

Either way, they are equally terrifying.

Decisive and ruthless, with astonishing strength, such an opponent is the most fearsome.

Yi Yun's move not only killed those petty villains who had stabbed him in the back, but also served as an absolute deterrent. Many Dao Seed Realm martial artists completely abandoned their intentions and dared not attack Yi Yun again. (To be continued~^~)
