Killing Ao Yuan

In the blink of a thought.

True Gang formed a forest.

The razor-sharp edge made Ao Yuan, trapped at its center, twitch his eyelids.

Luo Chen said nothing and lightly clenched his right hand.

The forest of True Gang filling the sky began to stir, slowly rotating as it sliced through space and encircled Ao Yuan at its center.

It formed a sphere of True Gang in midair.

Ao Yuan's heart sank. He knew there would be no peaceful end today.

This kid was far more ruthless than he had imagined.

But he had still cultivated to the Great Completion of the Mysterious Aperture Realm, so he naturally had his own Territory.

All three hundred and sixty Mysterious Apertures across his body bloomed with divine radiance, glittering brilliantly.

Behind him, a phantom of a silver carp leaped high, like a swimming dragon emerging from the sea, its tail whipping behind it.

Looking closely, an ancient Dao inscription had condensed upon the silver carp phantom's forehead.

Purple lightning seemed to explode through the void.

The bloodline demon power within his body burned madly.

Clang!

In midair, the Yin Yang True Gang began to contract.

True Gang collided with flesh, producing bursts of metallic clanging.

Silver Scales emerged across Ao Yuan's body.

The distinctive Silver Scale on his forehead rippled faintly.

Rip!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere. A scale was forcibly pierced through by True Gang, and the terrifying force broke through his defenses, wildly slicing apart his flesh.

Ao Yuan screamed as ripples spread through the void, gradually revealing his true form.

A Silver Carp more than ten meters long swam through the air.

The Silver Carp wildly whipped its powerful tail.

Ancient lightning inscriptions burst with brilliant light, and bolts of purple lightning erupted through the void.

In an instant, purple lightning ravaged everything within five li.

The purple lightning crashed against Luo Chen's body.

Endless Buddhist chants seemed to drift through the void. Luo Chen's entire body shone dazzling gold, and beneath his peaceful features lurked an air of slaughter.

Within the sea of lightning, that golden figure remained standing, unshaken.

Luo Chen walked step by step toward the Silver Carp.

The instant lightning touched him, his clothes turned to nothingness, yet he suffered no injury.

The ground beneath his feet had been scorched black. Luo Chen stepped across the searing earth without slowing.

"Monster!"

His strike, fueled by burning his bloodline power, had failed to breach Luo Chen's defenses.

Meanwhile, Ao Yuan himself was starting to crack.

With terror in his eyes, he whipped his strong tail and fled toward the river.

Behind him, Luo Chen, glowing all over with golden light, grinned.

With one stomp, his figure shot forth like an arrow loosed from the bowstring.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived above the Silver Carp.

His fists, radiating Prison Suppressing Golden Light, crashed down like two immovable divine mountains descending from heaven.

The Silver Scales shattered one after another the instant they collided.

The sounds of shattering scales mixed with the squelch of crushed flesh and the crack of breaking bones.

The Silver Carp swimming through the air was instantly smashed onto the ground.

The golden figure followed close behind.

A massive foot descended from the sky and viciously stomped onto the Silver Carp's belly.

Another mouthful of blood sprayed out!

Within the crater smashed into the ground, it carved a graceful arc.

Ao Tian's eyes were full of venom. His body twitched spasmodically, but he still laughed wildly.

"I've already sent out the news. Lord Ao Sheng will be here soon."

"I admit that you're strong!"

"If you have the guts, kill me right now!"

"Come on! Hahahaha!"

Ao Yuan laughed maniacally, his laughter brimming with venom and arrogance.

The two had fought to this point.

They were essentially mortal enemies now.

If Luo Chen did not kill him today, he would inevitably return for revenge in the future.

As for whether Luo Chen would dare to act.

Ao Yuan was still very confident.

Leaving aside Ao Sheng's status in the Dragon Palace, Ao Sheng's Dharma Form Realm cultivation alone was enough.

He believed that as long as Luo Chen still had any sense, he would not dare kill him.

Unfortunately.

Luo Chen looked down at the badly wounded Silver Carp beneath his foot. Just as he found himself in a difficult position.

A calm voice came from somewhere far beyond the horizon.

"Ao Sheng, it has been a while!"

Though spoken softly, those words rang clearly in the ears of every living being.

Luo Chen came back to himself and looked down at the Silver Carp.

Upon hearing that calm voice resounding through the heavens, Ao Yuan's body began to struggle uneasily.

"It seems your backer can no longer act without restraint either."

Luo Chen gave a savage grin.

Thick, bulging tendons emerged across his arms.

"No!"

The Silver Carp spat out the Demon Core in its body, trying to beg for mercy.

Only to have its head blasted apart by a righteous golden fist.

Inch Force Split Crown!

The Silver Carp, with half its head blown away, twitched a few times before losing all signs of life.

[You killed Ao Yuan (Mysterious Aperture), plundering 272 years of lifespan!]

[Lifespan: 17/1526.]

Luo Chen took out Golden Scale and cut open the Silver Carp's body. After searching for a while, he removed a lustrous, round Demon Core.

Feeling the pure essence of heaven and earth within the Demon Core, Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

Good stuff.

A pure Demon Core from a Great Completion Mysterious Aperture Realm cultivator was a treasure even to him.

It was far more valuable than the Demon Core Ao Yuan had given him before.

After a long while.

Luo Chen took out a spare set of clothes from his Spatial Secret Treasure and put them on.

Then he crouched by the Silver Carp's corpse and examined it for a while longer.

In the end, he used Golden Scale to remove the Silver Scale from the carp's blasted crown.

Feeling the faint demon power leaking from the Silver Scale.

Blood and qi gathered in Luo Chen's palm. With its owner dead, the mark on this Spatial Secret Treasure was quickly washed away.

He did not have time to inspect it carefully.

Sensing terrifying battle fluctuations from afar, he immediately tucked the Silver Scale into his pocket and headed toward the direction where the battle had erupted.

The Silver Scale was also a Spatial Secret Treasure and could not be placed inside his own ring.

When Luo Chen returned to the hill.

The five Demon Suppression Envoys under his command were already waiting once more.

Seeing Luo Chen return.

Wang Yue and the others visibly sighed in relief.

Wang Yue stepped forward. Seeing Luo Chen covered in dust and travel-worn, even having changed out of the Demon Suppression Captain's Golden Patterned Cloud Robe, he asked with concern.

"Boss, what happened?"

"Nothing. Just a little bug."

Luo Chen waved his hand, looking utterly unconcerned.

Seeing that Luo Chen was indeed uninjured and that even his aura remained steady, Wang Yue and the others believed him somewhat.

Luo Chen felt the battle fluctuations coming from the distant edge of the sky, his face expressionless.

"What's going on?"

"Not sure. Most likely, an expert from our Demon Suppression Bureau headquarters has made a move."

One of the Demon Suppression Envoys, Cao Wu, guessed.

Wang Yue added, "That Dragon Palace Water Tribe has been far too brazen, swaggering about in our Demon Suppression Bureau's Territory.

Today, they even directly cut off a tributary, affecting countless commoners.

It is only reasonable for headquarters to intervene."

Although Luo Chen and the others were still one or two hundred li from the center of the battle, they could still feel the aftershocks.

Considering Ao Sheng's cultivation realm.

The person fighting him had to be at least in the Dharma Form Realm.

There was no prolonged, earth-shaking battle between the two experts as they had imagined.

Three hours later.

Standing atop the hill, Luo Chen and the others saw Ao Sheng and his group of Water Tribe members retreating past them.

Ao Sheng still looked cold and proud, and he bore no injuries.

But he had indeed led the Water Tribe away.

As the Water Tribe army departed.

The invisible barrier stretched across the White Dragon River Tributary's junction vanished with a boom.

The surging river swept in, carrying the might of heaven and earth as it thundered onward.

Fortunately, every village had Demon Suppressing Guards on patrol and had received the news long ago. Otherwise, the common people would certainly have suffered devastating losses.
