Using One's Own Methods Against Them
"Cough cough!"
Su Boyang coughed up blood, his old face as pale as wax paper.
For hundreds of thousands of years after Su Boyang became an elder of the Danxin Sect, he was constantly flattered by other major powers. People were afraid of Su Boyang treating him well enough. Countless experts from the Tiannan Great World, including figures like Prince Yi, would often bring generous gifts, hoping that he could refine pills for them.
Su Boyang had thought that he would spend the rest of his life in such a halo, enjoying all the riches of the Martial Dao World, and that his life would be like that of a star surrounded by the moon.
He never imagined that one day he and his junior apprentice would be hung on the wall like this, one old and one young.
This is an utter disgrace!
"Uncle-Master, will... anyone from the sect... come to our rescue...?"
Su Muyan's lung was punctured, and every time he spoke, air leaked from his chest; the pain he endured was unimaginable.
Now his only hope is that the experts from the Danxin Sect will come to their rescue. The Danxin Sect has many experts and is their only hope.
Before Su Muyan could finish speaking, his voice trailed off. He suddenly saw Yi Yun in the darkness, holding a blue Longsword, standing amidst a pile of corpses lying haphazardly. Blood dripped from the Longsword, drop by drop.
Su Muyan then realized that, apart from himself, all the other junior members of the Danxin Sect had been killed!
Su Muyan was almost suffocating. He had just been in a semi-conscious state and had not noticed what Yi Yun had done. The corpses on the ground were truly shocking.
"You... you killed seven of my Danxin Sect's most talented disciples in one fell swoop..."
The Danxin Sect has been rampant in the Tiannan Great World for far too long. For ten thousand years, Danxin Sect disciples have received extremely high honors wherever they go. But today, Yi Yun and that old man, the old man and the young man, killed Danxin Sect disciples like chickens and dogs, without any scruples. This made Su Muyan feel a deep fear. He saw his own fate in those dead Danxin Sect disciples.
"I only killed seven self-important idiots. Did you think taking your lives was such a big deal to me?" Yi Yun sneered, his Longsword trembling slightly. A chilling blue aura emanated from the sword, instantly freezing the blood on it into red Ice Crystal that shattered and scattered without leaving a trace.
The old snake had now completely subdued the dark-faced middle-aged man and the beautiful woman who controlled ghosts. He clapped his hands and lazily said, "What do you plan to do with these people? Kill them all?"
The old snake spoke these words casually, but the murderous intent hidden in his words sent chills down one's spine.
"You can try, but the Danxin Sect won't let you go... Don't think that just because the Danxin Sect is going to kill you, it doesn't matter to you. Many times, death isn't the worst consequence."
The beautiful woman who controlled ghosts stared maliciously at Yi Yun and threatened him. Her voice was chilling, as if it came from the deepest abyss, containing a terrifying aura.
"Oh?" Yi Yun laughed. "Tell me, what's more terrifying than death?"
"Hmph! If you kill us, the Danxin Sect will make you pay an unbearable price. Alchemists can refine many kinds of pills that will leave you wishing for death! You will be tortured by the Danxin Sect for hundreds of thousands of years. Then you will know that death is an incredibly happy thing!"
The beautiful woman who controlled the ghosts continued to speak. Yi Yun knew that her words contained a malevolent aura. Although she had been subdued by the old snake, she could still infuse this aura into her voice, attacking his Divine Soul and making him easily fearful, thus causing him to retreat.
"Torturing someone for hundreds of thousands of years? I'm quite curious about such methods."
Yi Yun stroked his chin and said, the beautiful woman who controlled ghosts' eyes flashing coldly. "You can take me as joking, but the Danxin Sect is certainly aware of our actions against you today. Our deaths in this canyon are inextricably linked to you. You can try and see if you can challenge the entire Danxin Sect! You will suffer the most terrible and miserable torture!"
The beautiful woman who controlled ghosts continued her threats. What she said was not false. Anyone who wasn't insane would be terrified of the retaliation from a behemoth like the Danxin Sect.
"I'm actually a little scared by your threat," Yi Yun said calmly. He lightly wiped his hand on his Space Ring, and a green earthenware jar appeared out of thin air in his hand.
This Ashes Jar a powerful being, obtained by Cang Wu in an ancient secret realm. After Cang Wu was killed by Yi Yun, the jar fell into Yi Yun's hands.
Yi Yun patted the top of the earthenware pot.
Buzz--
With a soft sound, a wisp of green smoke flew out of the earthenware pot. The smoke swirled and danced, transforming into a hideous face, baring its fangs and claws, like a demon.
This demon was Poison Demon born from the ashes in the earthenware jar. It had been utterly defeated by Ling Xie'er and had no choice but to sign a contract with Yi Yun, completely submitting to him.
Over the past year, Yi Yun had barely paid any attention to this Poison Demon and had almost forgotten about him. But just now, when facing the Ghost-Controlling Beauty, the Poison Demon suddenly emitted a strong fluctuation of his Divine Soul.
"You want to devour her?"
Because of the contract, Yi Yun could sense the Poison Demon's thoughts.
The Poison Demon nodded frantically. "Yes, Master. This poisonous woman cultivates the Ghost Path, and she has also fused with Million-Year Ghost King within her. I have a feeling that if I devour her, my strength will experience a major leap forward. Moreover, I can Soul Searching her soul and report any valuable information I find to you. After the Soul Searching, I can also torment this poisonous woman for hundreds of thousands of years, making her wish she were dead. Then she'll know how blissful death can be."
The Poison Demon chuckled, revealing a fawning smile, but its already hideous appearance still sent chills down one's spine when it smiled.
Of course, this smile, when seen by the ghost-controlling beauty, sent chills down her spine!
She never expected that the words she had just used to threaten Yi Yun would be used by this Poison Demon to threaten her!
Moreover, she knew all too well that this Poison Demon was no joke.
Just by looking at that Ashes Jar, the Ghost-Controlling Beauty knew that this Poison Demon was definitely no ordinary creature. It had been nurtured in the Ashes Jar for who knows how long, probably even longer than her Million-Year Ghost King.
How could this be...? That ragged old man just said he'd lived for over a billion years—even longer than the history of the Danxin Sect! And this Green Smoke Demon, which Yi Yun somehow conjured up, is also such an ancient being?
If one's soul were truly devoured by the Poison Demon, and then tormented for hundreds of thousands of years, the pain would be unimaginable. Before she knew it, the beautiful woman who controlled the ghost had turned pale.
"Wait... wait!"
She was terrified. She had only intended to intimidate Yi Yun, but she never expected that Yi Yun would be fully capable of using the same method against her.
However, Yi Yun completely ignored the woman; he only looked at the old snake. "Senior, what do you think of this Ghost King...?"
"Not interested, do whatever you want." Old Snake didn't even look at these people.
Yi Yun nodded and casually waved his hand at the Ghost King, "Since you think that devouring this Million-Year Ghost King will allow you to evolve, then devour it..."
"Thank you, Master!"
The Green Smoke Poison Demon roared excitedly, and its body immediately transformed into a thick cloud of green smoke, billowing like smoke, rushing towards the beautiful woman.
"Ah--!! No! Wait!"
The beautiful woman let out a desperate and terrified roar. As Ghost Cultivator, her fear of having her soul devoured was stronger than that of other martial artists because she understood the consequences of it better.
But her wails were useless. Her entire body was shrouded in green smoke, and in no time, her physical body had completely lost its vitality. Her soul was pulled out directly. Of course, what the Poison Demon coveted most was the Ghost King who was united with her soul.
"Soul Searching thoroughly. Report any valuable information to me. As for this old woman's soul, you can do whatever you want with it."
Yi Yun felt no pity for this woman. Most of the Ghost Path martial artists were not benevolent. In order to cultivate the Ghost Path, these people had killed countless people and captured countless souls to refine. Most of these souls were tortured and then scattered.
"Yes, Master!"
The Poison Demon was extremely excited, but its voice, when it reached the ears of Su Muyan and Su Boyang, terrified them both.
When they first heard the beautiful woman who controlled ghosts threatening Yi Yun, they were secretly pleased, thinking that the immense threat posed by the Danxin Sect had terrified Yi Yun.
But in the blink of an eye, everything reversed, and what was truly terrifying were them.
Because no matter what Yi Yun's future fate may be, Yi Yun has a way to make them wish they were dead right now!
