The Death of Yè Tiānmíng

"Let's fight!"

As Yè Tiānmíng's voice fell.

Yīn Zhìháng didn't waste any more words with him. He formed his fingers into a delicate gesture and sent several bolts of spiritual energy, condensed from the spiritual power within a cultivator's body, shooting towards Yè Tiānmíng with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound.

Yè Tiānmíng was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, how could he possibly withstand this?

He was directly hit in the chest by these bolts of spiritual energy and sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spitting up blood.

Watching this scene from the sidelines, Yīn Miàomiào felt her heart turn to ash.

"Is that all? Use your forbidden technique to kill me again!"

Seeing that Yè Tiānmíng was completely defenseless against him, Yīn Zhìháng sneered repeatedly.

As he spoke, he walked towards Yè Tiānmíng.

He then grabbed Yè Tiānmíng by the foot and began to swing him around.

Yè Tiānmíng was thrown by Yīn Zhìháng and slammed heavily onto the ground, his head split open and bleeding.

He was already in a state of near death, with more air going out than coming in.

"Tiānmíng!"

Seeing this, Hé Xīnghuǒ's expression changed in alarm.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Yè Tiānmíng coughed up blood, enduring the discomfort in his body, and slowly got up. His eyes were fixed on Yīn Zhìháng as if he wanted to devour him.

"Heh, don't look at me like that. Just obediently go down to accompany my father in death!"

Yīn Zhìháng was unfazed by Yè Tiānmíng's gaze. His figure flickered, and he appeared in front of Yè Tiānmíng, raising his hand to strike Yè Tiānmíng's head with a palm.

If this palm strike landed, Yè Tiānmíng's head would surely explode, leaving him with no place to be buried.

Yè Tiānmíng's pupils contracted at the sight.

But just then, something unexpected happened.

He heard Elder Hui's voice in his mind: "Hey, kid, it seems you can't avoid it. Then you can only go all out. Hand over your body to me."

As Elder Hui's voice fell.

Yè Tiānmíng's aura suddenly surged.

It finally reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, close to Spirit Transmutation, before slowly stopping.

At the same time, Yīn Zhìháng's body was sent flying backward the moment Yè Tiānmíng's aura erupted, like a kite with a broken string, crashing directly into the wall and leaving a spiderweb-like crack.

"Pfft!"

Yīn Zhìháng spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs were churning violently.

Then his vision went black, and he passed out.

"Brother!"

Seeing this, Yīn Miàomiào rushed towards the fallen Yīn Zhìháng in panic.

"Peak Nascent Soul Realm?!"

Everyone present gasped in unison.

What kind of forbidden technique was this?

It could actually allow a Qi Refining stage youngster to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?!

Duàn Wúyá's eyes were now filled with greed.

He was determined to obtain such a secret technique!

"Finally out."

Li Zhōujūn narrowed his eyes.

Li Zhōujūn hadn't made a move immediately because he was waiting.

Waiting for Yè Tiānmíng's old grandpa to make a move.

However, Elder Hui, who was now controlling Yè Tiānmíng's body, had no intention of staying.

He turned to tear through the void and escape.

But in the next moment, a flying sword shot out from Li Zhōujūn's body.

The flying sword emitted a majestic aura, like a mountain, pressing down on everyone present, rendering them unable to move.

This naturally included Elder Hui, who was controlling Yè Tiānmíng's body.

Can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

"Ninth-grade Flying Sword, Mahayana True Immortal?!"

A hoarse, old voice suddenly came from 'Yè Tiānmíng's' mouth.

"What? True Immortal?!"

As 'Yè Tiānmíng' spoke, everyone in the hall looked at Li Zhōujūn with disbelief.

Duàn Wúyá, in particular, was sweating profusely.

After all, they had agreed from the start that if there were any traitors in the sect, they would not be protected. But he had just gone back on his word!

Thinking of this, Duàn Wúyá felt like he had been completely screwed over.

"Esteemed Immortal, I believe I have no enmity with you. Why do you seek to amuse yourself at my expense?"

At this moment, Elder Hui, who was controlling Yè Tiānmíng's body, asked Li Zhōujūn with great alarm.

"Heh, there are some things you don't need to know so clearly." Li Zhōujūn chuckled. Knowing that villains often die from talking too much, he directly controlled the Ao Xue Flying Sword to pierce through Yè Tiānmíng's body, which was controlled by Elder Hui. Immediately after, Yè Tiānmíng's body began to dissipate from the lower half.

Being struck by a Ninth-grade Flying Sword naturally resulted in the complete annihilation of both body and soul.

"No, no! I am not reconciled!"

Just before dissipating, 'Yè Tiānmíng' let out an angry roar.

But that was all.

The power of a Ninth-grade Flying Sword was such that not only a Spirit Transmutation cultivator who had already died once, but even cultivators at the Void Return, Integration, or Tribulation Stage would not be able to withstand a single strike.

[Ding: Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and receiving the reward 'True Immortal Special Effect!']

[True Immortal Special Effect]: With a single thought from the host, heaven and earth respond!

As the System announced the completion of the mission, Li Zhōujūn finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that no matter how heaven-defying a protagonist's luck was, if faced with a villain who was determined to kill them and gave them no opportunity, they would also have no chance.

As the saying goes, all fear stems from a lack of firepower.

Li Zhōujūn truly understood this saying now.

"We pay our respects to the Esteemed Immortal!"

At the same time.

Everyone present immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Zhōujūn.

Duàn Wúyá shouted the loudest.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hui saw her disciple still hugging her brother in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and felt a surge of panic.

However, Li Zhōujūn did not dwell on these matters.

He simply looked calmly at the people kneeling before him.

"Junior has previously treated you as an equal, and I hope the Esteemed Immortal will forgive my transgressions!" Duàn Wúyá said quickly to Li Zhōujūn.

"Mm, you may rise. There's no need for such formality." Li Zhōujūn smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly stood up respectfully, like children facing their parents, standing there afraid to speak.

As for Yè Tiānmíng's matter, they wisely did not mention it.

Because they had also realized.

The reason Yè Tiānmíng had become stronger was not due to some secret technique?

It was clearly because an old monster had been dormant within him.

It was highly likely that this old monster had offended this Esteemed Immortal in the past, which was why the Esteemed Immortal wanted to kill him. What if they brought trouble upon themselves by mentioning it now?

Even Hé Xīnghuǒ, whose disciple Li Zhōujūn had killed, dared not speak at this moment.

To offend a True Immortal for a disciple he had only taken in recently and who had already died – wasn't that simply asking for trouble?

At the same time, Li Zhōujūn waved his hand, recalling the Ao Xue Flying Sword to return to his Dantian for nourishment.

He then walked to Yīn Miàomiào's side, squatted down, and directly placed a healing pill into Yīn Zhìháng's mouth, who was being held by Yīn Miàomiào.

Yīn Miàomiào finally reacted. She carefully placed her brother on the ground, stood up, and respectfully bowed to Li Zhōujūn, saying, "Miàomiào thanks the Esteemed Immortal for your intervention."

Li Zhōujūn smiled and said, "Take good care of your brother. Your brother actually treats you very well."

After speaking, Li Zhōujūn did not linger. With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the great hall amidst the awe-filled gazes of the crowd.

"We respectfully bid farewell to the Esteemed Immortal!"

The people of the Kaishan Sect reacted and said to Li Zhōujūn's retreating back.

As for what Li Zhōujūn's real name was?

Where he was going?

They did not know.

They only knew that the great hall of the Kaishan Sect had once been visited by a Mahayana True Immortal who roamed the world, dispensing justice and settling grudges.
