"Wait!"
Just as Yun Qingyao was about to force her way into the fight, Lu Ren's voice rang out, clear and firm.
Every gaze snapped toward him.
Lu Ren looked at Yun Qingyao, his eyes as still as an ancient well. "If you intervene now, you'll draw interference from that expert with a Perfected Dao Fruit. Leave this man... to me."
"You?"
Yun Qingyao's gaze shifted to Lu Ren, scrutiny and doubt in her eyes. "In your current state, how will you kill him?"
"If I say I can kill him, then I will."
Lu Ren slowly straightened his back. Though his aura was feeble and his body covered in wounds, he radiated an indescribable confidence and a domineering air that looked down upon the world.

"You can kill me?"
Ghost Ancestor Jiangchen seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. So furious that he laughed, he bared a hideous ghostly face twisted with rage and humiliation.
Lu Ren's Dao Rhyme was clearly exhausted. He was a lamp with no oil left, yet he dared declare before everyone that he would take Jiangchen's life?
"Kill him! Don't hold back!"
"Tear him limb from limb!"
"Make him pay for his arrogance!"
The Evil Dao camp erupted in fury, countless experts roaring wildly.
Lu Ren looked at the Evil Path Cultivators and said coldly, "What are you all howling about? Once I've killed him, you're next!"
Lu Ren did not speak loudly, yet his voice carried clearly over everyone else's.
His tone made every Evil Path Cultivator want to charge onto
