Slaying
"What, aren't you going to say anything?"
The Masked Man's silence made Zhulong's gaze towards Masked Man even colder.
"Third Inspector, you are in charge of signing the Soul Contract of all Heavenly Dao Alliance members. Some people betrayed the Martial Arts Alliance, and it was you who brought them back. If I remember correctly, Jiang Yi Dao was one of those escapees..."
Faced with Zhulong's questioning, the Masked Man calmly replied, "Soul Contract are not without a way to break them. Perhaps the King of the Desolate Clan possesses such means. I cannot answer your question."
"Get rid of?"
Zhulong raised an eyebrow. Indeed, Soul Contract also vary in strength. A powerful Soul Contract can restrain an unparalleled Great Emperor, while a weak Soul Contract, usually signed by a junior, can be broken by their elders.
However, the Soul Contract of the Martial Arts Alliance is extraordinary; how can it be broken?
Disaster!
Zhulong doesn't believe that such a person is currently hidden in the Tianyuan Realm.
However, Zhulong was unsure whether the Queen of the Wilderness Clan, who was also Jiang Xiaorou's mother, could break the Soul Contract.
Zhulong stared at the Masked Man, his gaze seemingly trying to see through Masked Man, but the Masked Man remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.
Yi Yun knew that even if the Masked Man offered an explanation, it would still not dispel Zhulong's suspicions.
But that doesn't matter anymore. In this Soul Tomb, a bloody battle is inevitable between him and Zhulong.
"Jiang Yi Dao, you traitor!"
Gongsun Hong suddenly shouted.
He already had an old grudge against Jiang Yi Dao, and now a new one has been added to the mix. With Yi Yun crippling his arm, one can imagine how much hatred he harbors for Yi Yun.
"You shameless scoundrel! You actually betrayed us and joined the Desolate Clan, attacking the Martial Arts Alliance to save this Desolate Clan demoness! What? Did you become the Desolate Clan's live-in son-in-law and get Divine Soul by this demoness? With your groveling ways, be careful she doesn't drain your yang energy and turn you into a dried-up corpse! Hahaha!"
"However, you probably won't even have a chance to become a dried corpse. You're so reckless, daring to act so arrogantly in front of Lord Zhulong. Today is your death day. I'll wait to see you cripple your martial arts, suffer the excruciating pain of Lingchi Devouring Heart, have your soul extracted, and then be tortured for a thousand years!"
Gongsun Hong's furious outburst was only possible because of the protection of numerous Reincarnator, including Zhulong, which emboldened Gongsun Hong to so fiercely denounce Yi Yun.
He was beaten so badly by Yi Yun that he was furious. This anger had become a mental demon in his heart, which would affect his cultivation and breakthroughs in the future.
He knew perfectly well that he was no match for Yi Yun, and could only hope that Zhulong would torture Yi Yun with all sorts of cruel methods.
"You..."
Yi Yun looked at Gongsun Hong, his eyes suddenly flashing with murderous intent, "Die!"
Yi Yun uttered these two words, then suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow!
"Collapse!!"
The bowstring snapped, and the arrow was released!
Yi Yun's movements were so fast that people could barely see him draw his bow; they only saw a dazzling divine light, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi) was completely swept away by this arrow!
The arrow burst forth with dazzling golden light, like a surging sun!
Gongsun Hong was shocked. He hadn't expected that Yi Yun would ignore all the Reincarnator present and instead try to kill him by shooting an arrow right through Reincarnator!
The arrow was too fast; Gongsun Hong had no time to react. Just then, a loud shout suddenly echoed through the valley—
"Presumptuous!"
As the arrow was being fired at Gongsun Hong, a Black Shadow figure appeared out of Black Shadow and grabbed the arrow!
As the Black Shadow figure made his move, a black dragon roared behind him.
This black dragon is menacing, its scales resembling lifelike black gems.
Zhulong!
People were astonished; Zhulong had actually taken action himself!
"Drink!"
Zhulong grabbed the golden arrow like a cormorant catching a golden fish; no matter how the golden arrow tried to break free, it couldn't escape Zhulong's grasp.
"Boom!"
Energy erupted from the golden arrow, causing it to explode completely. However, the black dragon phantom behind the Candle Dragon opened its maw and devoured all the golden energy.
But just then--
Swish!
A blade of light flashed, even faster than the Sword Light from before.
An arrow and a flash of light, occurring in less than a fraction of a blink of an eye. Zhulong was startled and tried to intercept the flash of light, but it was too late.
The blade flashed and slashed directly at Gongsun Hong!
"Aaaaaah!"
As the blade came hurtling towards him, Gongsun Hong's pupils contracted. He knew he couldn't possibly block it. He bit his tongue hard, burning his essence blood, unleashing his inner energy, and charged to the side with all his might!
But... it was too late!
It should be said that the blade was too fast, far exceeding Gongsun Hong's dodging speed. Even if he made the most correct reaction immediately, it would be meaningless.
"Snap!"
Gongsun Hong's body suddenly froze, his expression completely solidified as the blade grazed his chest and pierced through it!
Gongsun Hong was completely stunned. He stared wide-eyed at his chest in disbelief.
A shocking line of blood ran across his armpit, from which blood spurted out.
"Bang!"
Gongsun Hong's lower body fell directly down; he had been cut in two by Yi Yun's blade!
"Ah... ah..."
Gongsun Hong groaned in pain, and blood gushed from his mouth.
Gongsun Hong's body, severed in two by Yi Yun, fell to the ground. He looked at Zhulong in despair; Zhulong was his only lifeline.
Zhulong's face was gloomy, and he suddenly beckoned.
"Call out!"
Gongsun Hong's soul was forcibly extracted by Zhulong, transforming into a ball of light that landed in his hand.
"Sir, save me! Save me..."
Gongsun Hong let out a painful sound.
His physical body, which he had honed for over twenty years, was completely destroyed. He now had no way out and had to cultivate the "Great Dao Samsara Technique," otherwise he would die and his cultivation would be extinguished.
Zhulong ignored Gongsun Hong and looked at Yi Yun instead.
He held Gongsun Hong's soul in one hand and the arrow that Yi Yun had just shot out in the other. At this moment, most of the arrow had exploded, leaving only a small part in Zhulong's hand.
At this moment, everyone looked at Yi Yun.
Although Yi Yun easily caught Yi Yun's fatal arrow, Yi Yun had already prepared a backup plan. His second attack arrived almost simultaneously with the arrow, leaving Zhulong no time to block the blade. As a result, Yi Yun killed Gongsun Hong right under Zhulong's nose!
In all previous battles, Zhulong was virtually invincible, with unfathomable strength. This was evident in his ability to break through the Desolate Clan's trump card, the Great Evolution Array, and to summon ancient creatures from the God Burying Abyss.
Now, facing Yi Yun, Zhulong was outmaneuvered by a little trick.
"A fine knife!"
Zhulong looked at Yi Yun, threw away the broken arrow in his hand, took out a pair of black gloves from his Space Ring, and slowly put them on...
