Quiet.
A deathly silence enveloped the entire sky and the earth.
Medical Immortal Valley, everyone gaped, their eyes wide, as if they were witnessing the most unbelievable sight in the world.
Shen Bixia's Curse froze on her face, Zhang Ziyun's accusation stuck in her throat, Hu Qingxuan's tears congealed at the corners of her eyes, and Xiao Xuan and the others were completely petrified.
What did they see?
That imposing general of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty, who seemed capable of destroying the world with the aid of his Military Formation, that powerful figure who suffocated them with despair... was killed by Zhang Yu... with a single finger?
Like crushing an ant?
On the Flying Boat, the expressions on Zhang Qingyue and Zhang Heng's faces instantly transformed from extreme hatred to boundless fear and unbelievable horror.
"No... impossible... how could this be..."
Zhang Qingyue's delicate body trembled violently, and her lips quivered.
As she watched Bai Lingyun's body fall, and saw the tens of thousands of soldiers below instantly collapse and suffer heavy casualties, she felt her worldview crumble.
That's Bai Lingyun, who can unleash the Combat Power of Heavenly Immortal being!
"A Heavenly Immortal Combat Power... was... was instantly killed..."
Zhang Heng's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The Remnant Soul of the Dongqing Immortal within him now let out a frantic, terrified scream, "Run! Run!"
However, just as Zhang Heng had the thought of escaping, and before he could even turn around, he felt a blur before his eyes.
Zhang Yu's figure appeared silently in front of him, less than three feet away, like a ghost.
"Zhang Heng, it's time to settle this long-standing grudge."
Zhang Yu looked at the face distorted by extreme fear, his tone remaining calm, revealing no emotion, as if he were merely stating a trivial matter.
"No—I don't want to die, Eldest Brother, please..."
Zhang Heng was terrified; all his hatred, pride, and malice transformed into a primal will to survive.
Tears streamed down his face as he tried to beg for mercy.
But Zhang Yu didn't give him a chance to finish speaking.
He didn't even use any fancy moves; he simply raised the index finger that had just killed Bai Lingyun, Heavenly Immortal Combat Power, and gently tapped it on Zhang Heng's forehead.
"Puff."
Another soft sound.
The expression on Zhang Heng's face was forever frozen in extreme terror and pleading.
His body, along with the madly screaming, desperately trying-to-escape Remnant Soul of the Dongqing Immortal within him, was reduced to the finest ashes by this single finger.
Divine Soul and spirit annihilated, body and spirit annihilated!
Decisive, efficient, and ruthless.
Zhang Qingyue watched helplessly as her younger brother was so easily killed by Zhang Yu, unable to even struggle or scream.
Overwhelmed by boundless fear, she felt cold all over, her limbs stiffened, and she didn't have the strength to move a single finger.
Zhang Yu slowly turned around, his calm gaze falling on Zhang Qingyue, whose face was ashen and who stood as stiff as a statue.
"Now you."
Zhang Yu looked calmly at Zhang Qingyue, whose face was deathly pale, without uttering any unnecessary words or showing the slightest pity.
He raised his index finger again, the finger that had just annihilated Zhang Heng's Divine Soul, now aimed at Zhang Qingyue's brow.
Despair, resentment, and a hint of madness flashed in Zhang Qingyue's eyes, but in the end, she did not beg for mercy.
She knew that, given the deep-seated animosity between them, begging for mercy would be futile.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Yu killed her outright.
"My lord, let's go!"
Suddenly, a rapid voice transmission rang in Zhang Yu's mind—it was Shadow Kill!
He had already stealthily moved nearby, his voice filled with an unprecedented solemnity.
"Now the entire Yuhua Prefecture has been completely controlled by the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty and has become its territory!"
As the current Emperor of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty, Ji Wuxiang possesses some ability to monitor the heavens and earth and sense anomalies within the territory he governs.
Although the commotion caused by the lord's attack on Bai Lingyun was largely concealed by the lord's power, the dramatic shift in the Military Formation and the fall of the commander must have been noticed by Ji Wuxiang!
Shadow Kill speaks extremely fast, clearly indicating an urgent situation:
"What's even more troublesome is that within the territory of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty, Ji Wuxiang can mobilize the Fortune at any time and manifest Fortune Incarnation!"
This Fortune Incarnation is no ordinary being; it can mobilize a portion of the National Destiny's fortune, almost equivalent to a portion of the power of Ji Wuxiang's true form in person, far surpassing any ordinary clone.
This place is no place to linger; please leave immediately, my lord!
Zhang Yu frowned almost imperceptibly.
He was well aware of the power of the "Fortune Incarnation," especially on the opponent's home turf.
Previously at the Soul Refining Sect, he killed Baizi Xuan, the Grand General of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty, and also encountered Ji Wuxiang in ordinary Incarnation manifested through Imperial Edict.
However, that place is far from Qianyuan's homeland and is not a place where Fortune is concentrated, so its strength is limited.
Now that we are in the heart of their territory, if they can truly gather their Fortune Incarnation here, it will indeed be quite troublesome.
In a flash, Zhang Yu made a decision.
With a flicker, he vanished from the sky and appeared in front of Xiao Fenghua and the others in the Medical Immortal Valley.
"Come with me, this place is no place to linger." Zhang Yu's words were concise and to the point, leaving no room for argument.
Xiao Xuan and the others naturally had no objections. Having witnessed Zhang Yu's extraordinary abilities, they had long since followed his lead.
However, Hu Qingxuan suddenly grabbed Zhang Yu's sleeve, her beautiful eyes filled with pleading and determination:
"Zhang Yu, could you... could you take my sect members with you?"
They... they were all dragged into this because of me.
If they are left here, they will surely die when the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty's army presses in!
Please, for my sake... for the sake of our past relationship, save them!
As she spoke, she knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face.
She knew this request was excessive; the Medical Immortal Valley had just tried to betray them.
But she couldn't bear to watch the sect that had raised and taught her be destroyed because of her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Bixia, Zhang Ziyun, and the others' eyes instantly blazed with a fierce will to survive. They all turned to look at Zhang Yu, their faces filled with longing and pleading.
Their lips trembled, but they dared not utter a sound of pleading.
They were completely stunned by Zhang Yu's terrifying strength, and were afraid that they might say something wrong and anger this god of death.
Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the people from the Medical Immortal Valley, his brows furrowing slightly.
To be honest, he didn't like these people, especially Shen Bixia.
But Hu Qingxuan's pleading, and the reluctance in the eyes of Xiao Fenghua, Xiao Xuan, and others, made him hesitate slightly.
These people were indeed implicated by the Xiao Family, and the Xiao Family's affairs were related to them.
"Trouble."
Zhang Yu muttered something to himself, then finally nodded and instructed Shadow Kill, who had just revealed himself, "Shadow Kill, take them with you."
"Yes, sir!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Shadow Kill bowed and accepted the order.
With a flash, he appeared like a ghost beside a Primal Origin Divine Dynasty Sky Patrol Flying Ship, quickly dispatched the remaining, still-shaken soldiers on board, and seized control of the Flying Boat's control core.
"Everyone, board the ship immediately! Quickly!"
Shadow Kill's voice was cold and commanding, leaving no room for argument.
Zhang Ziyun and the others felt as if they had been granted a pardon, so excited they almost cried. They quickly called to their disciples:
"Quick, get on the ship!"
In a flurry of activity, they helped up their injured fellow disciples and scrambled towards the Sky Patrol Flying Ship controlled by Shadow Kill.
Shen Bixia disregarded her image and, with the help of her disciples, hurriedly boarded the ship.
Xiao Xuan, Xiao Fenghua, and the others quickly boarded the ship.
Hu Qingxuan glanced at Zhang Yu gratefully and quickly followed.
Zhang Yu was the last to board the ship. He stood at the bow, hands behind his back, gazing at the distant horizon with a slightly furrowed brow.
He could sense a vast, majestic, and terrifying aura, seemingly connected to the entire earth, rapidly gathering and heading towards this place.
The speed was astonishing!
Shadow Kill pushed the Flying Boat to its limit, and this Sky Patrol Flying Ship, known for its speed, transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the outskirts of Yuhua Prefecture.
However, just as the Flying Boat started moving, accelerating away from a distance of less than a hundred miles—
"Now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"
"Why not let him stay for a few days, so that I may do my part as a host?"
A calm, gentle voice, yet seemingly imbued with the power of heaven and earth, resonated deep within everyone's souls, suddenly echoing throughout the world!
