Kill Them All

"Ying, ying, ying."

"Pfft!"

Black Charcoal's feet were like steel nails, plunging straight into the flesh ball's outer skin. Raising its head, it clamped down hard on one of the thick black veins and began relentlessly sucking the fluid from inside the flesh ball.

The agonizing pain made the flesh ball tremble. Its flying tentacles continuously lashed Black Charcoal's body with loud bangs, but Black Charcoal clung to it like a maggot burrowed into bone, refusing to let go.

At the sight, Bai Yu's expression froze. He reached out and made a grabbing motion, and a crimson longsword fell into his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed before the flesh ball. Relying on his perfected Cutting Technique and the openings revealed by the Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes, he slashed directly at the flailing tentacles!

"Pfft!"

As the longsword descended, a tentacle was severed at once. Green mucus sprayed out, and Bai Yu retreated several steps before continuing what he had been doing.

Tentacle after tentacle broke at the strike. Finally, looking at the flesh ball's wailing mouth, Bai Yu flicked his wrist and sent the longsword flying straight into its mouth!

"Aaaahhh!"

A miserably shrill scream rang out. The flesh ball gradually lost all movement, twitching without end as Black Charcoal devoured it in despair.

"Crack!"

At the same time, the battle in the sky caught Bai Yu's attention. The Golden Snake summoned by Pang Tong had grown dozens of times larger and was tightly coiled around An Leshan.

Meanwhile, the black shadow behind Zhao Mingzhu seized An Leshan's sword-wielding hand and twisted it violently. His entire arm snapped off in response!

"Damn it, is peak ninth level Qi Refinement supposed to be that impressive?"

"Baby, swallow his guts!"

Zhao Mingzhu gave a vicious grin. The black shadow behind him shot forward, its two sharp claws ripping open An Leshan's stomach. The next moment, masses of intestines and organs were torn out.

"Damn it, old Zhao, the thing you raised is fucking disgusting!"

Seeing the scene before him, Pang Tong's fat face visibly twisted. His Golden Snake Gu had a fucking cleanliness obsession, alright?!

"Heh heh, what the fuck do you know? How could trash like you possibly understand the power of the Blood Baleful Gu?"

"Fuck!"

The black shadow cackled as it devoured the organs, piercing chewing sounds ringing out.

At this moment, under the ravaging Blood Mosquito Gu, there were hardly any survivors left in the imperial palace. Even the entire Zhao King City had sunk into dead silence, with scenes everywhere like hell on earth.

Zhao Yun stared at everything before her in terror. When An Leshan was disemboweled, she could no longer care about anything else and turned to flee.

But the next moment, Zhao Yun's hair was yanked. Her whole body crashed heavily to the ground. The instant she landed, a heavy force pressed down on her chest, and a dagger was already held against her throat.

The force in Bai Yu's knee was immense, crushing her so badly she could barely breathe. Meeting his icy eyes, Zhao Yun's face was filled with terror.

"Don't—don't kill me!"

"I'm Zhao Lan's older sister!"

Zhao Yun pleaded in a trembling voice.

"Yes, you're his biological older sister. But why did his death have anything to do with you?"

Bai Yu let out a heavy sigh and said coldly.

"This isn't my fault. He joined the Heavenly Demon Sect. This is the territory of the Iron Sword Sect, even the Myriad Sword Sect. The moment he came here, he was already challenging the authority of the sects here."

"I tried to persuade him, told him to leave, but he refused. He insisted on fighting the imperial family to the bitter end."

"And besides, I wasn't the one who acted. He was my younger brother. I'm devastated that he died too."

With tears glistening in her eyes, Zhao Yun spoke.

In truth, from the moment she had first seen Zhao Lan again, she had harbored boundless resentment toward this younger brother.

Why had he left alone back then without taking her with him?

He had clearly been the one to abandon her here, leaving her to be humiliated by anyone. Now, through her own schemes, Zhao Yunlan had already become a monster, and she had also established ties with the Iron Sword Sect.

Before long, Zhao Yun would reclaim everything. She would become the Wu Shu Kingdom's next empress. And through her connection to the Iron Sword Sect, with her own charm, she could even forge ties with the Myriad Sword Sect!

By then, she too could cultivate immortality, and the Wu Shu Kingdom would forever lie beneath her rule!

But what was Zhao Lan supposed to be?!

All these years, had he ever cared about her?

Now that he had returned with such formidable abilities, he wanted to seize everything she was about to possess. Then what had all her years of groveling, of feeding demons with herself, been for?!

Therefore, Zhao Lan had to die!

After putting on a performance of deep sibling affection, Zhao Yun directly revealed Zhao Lan's identity in the Heavenly Demon Sect to An Leshan. Furthermore, An Leshan's daughter had died during the mountain expedition.

Thus, An Leshan naturally spared no effort in dealing with Zhao Lan.

Zhao Yun clearly remembered the look in Zhao Lan's eyes before he died today.

There was anger, confusion, even a measure of despair.

But so what? She had been even more desperate than he was back then!

Of course, she would never say any of this.

Now, Zhao Yun's only hope was that she could survive.

"Hehe, who in Zhao King City doesn't know about the things you've done?"

"I never thought there could be someone this stupid in the world."

"Damn it, is the Heavenly Demon Sect's reputation outside really that weak?"

"To actually be compared to a sect like the Iron Sword Sect."

An Leshan's head was tossed down, and that bastard Pang Tong arrived as well.

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, his face was full of contempt.

"Junior Brother Bai, not bad. You actually killed even this Five Turbid Evil Thing. I was worried just now."

Looking at the shrinking ball of flesh, Pang Tong's eyes were filled with shock. This thing was exceedingly troublesome to deal with, yet the Centipede Gu in Bai Yu's hand had actually devoured it.

At that thought, Pang Tong and Zhao Mingzhu looked at Bai Yu, their eyes brimming with envy. This guy's luck truly soared to the heavens!

"A Five Turbid Thing?"

"What's that?"

Bai Yu asked in confusion.

"Hahaha, we'll talk about that after we get back. An Leshan carried a life tablet; the Iron Sword Sect must already know he's been killed."

"We have to leave at once, or things will get troublesome."

Pang Tong said quickly.

They had already accomplished this much, and Zhao Lan's vengeance had been avenged. Staying behind to fight the Iron Sword Sect to the death was not worth it, nor did their strength permit them to do so.

"What should we do with this woman?"

"Junior Brother Bai, I was even going to help you find a cultivation cauldron here, but things turned out like this."

"This bitch looks pretty good. How about taking her in as a slave?"

"She may be a mortal, but at least she's presentable."

Zhao Mingzhu raised a brow and suggested.

The moment those words left his mouth, Zhao Yun hurriedly said, "I'm willing! I'm willing to be Your Excellency's slave! Everything I have will be Yours!"

"And aren't you Zhao Lan's friends?"

"Of his bloodline, I'm the only one left. Don't kill me, I'm begging you—I'm willing to do anything."

Looking at Zhao Yun's pitiable appearance, no normal man could honestly claim not to be tempted. Even though Zhao Yun and Zhao Lan shared blood ties, in the Heavenly Demon Sect, such things were nothing.

After all, Zhao Lan was already dead.

But Zhao Yun's actions made Bai Yu feel that the threat she posed was far greater than the allure of her beauty.

"Hehe, listen to what she's saying."

"If she means it sincerely, that means she has no righteousness in her heart. She's disloyal. If she can betray everything here, she can betray me in the future."

"If it's all false affection, then keeping her would be like raising a tiger at my side. She cannot be kept!"

"Indeed, your value lies in this body, but you've misunderstood. This beautiful body is also high-quality material for refining Gu."

"Brother Zhao showed me kindness. The least I can do is let you die quickly."

As his words fell, Bai Yu sheathed his blade and pressed his thumb hard against Zhao Yun's temple.

Bang!

A dull sound rang out, and Zhao Yun breathed her last!

Seeing Bai Yu's actions, Pang Tong and Zhao Mingzhu exchanged a glance, then nodded in approval.
