In an instant, the surroundings fell deathly silent.
That was the Third Divine Son of the Yin-Yang Cult, yet he had been smashed to death with a single punch?
This…
Not a single person in the entire place spoke. They all stared at Elder Niu in terror, with only three words in their minds.
The sky has fallen!
For these guards of the City Lord’s mansion, the killing of a Divine Son meant exactly that: the sky had fallen.
They had even forgotten that their own City Lord had long since been slaughtered.
“What do we do?”
These people were utterly panicked.
In contrast to their panic, Ye Qiu appeared somewhat helpless.
He had originally wanted to battle Song Que properly, to see the methods of a Divine Son of the Yin-Yang Cult. Who could have expected that Elder Niu would directly smash Song Que to death with one punch.
Remember the website.
“Little rascal, Brother Dali did not grasp your meaning. His brain seems a bit slow.” Elder Longbrow pointed at his own head.
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and said, “It was hard to encounter a worthy opponent, yet he died just like that. It is indeed a pity.”
“However, dead is dead. The Yin-Yang Cult still has other Divine Sons anyway.”
“Next time I encounter one, I will fight personally.”
Elder Niu turned back, grinning at Ye Qiu as he said, “Master, I tested him for you. This Divine Son of the Yin-Yang Cult had no notable methods.”
Ye Qiu: “…”
Elder Longbrow: “…”
Only at this point did Song Que’s two peak Tongshen guards finally react.
“Divine Son!”
“Divine Son!”
The two guards cried out mournfully and rushed into the cloud of blood mist, hoping to recover some remains. Unexpectedly, they could not find even a fragment of bone.
Their Divine Son had not only perished in body and dao, but was thoroughly reduced to nothing, not even bones remaining.
“Divine Son, you died so tragically!”
The two guards wept bitter tears.
Their strength was considerable. With their abilities, they could easily have secured high positions within the Yin-Yang Cult. Yet they had chosen to serve as Song Que’s guards.
In their view, Song Que had boundless potential. So young, yet already a Divine Son. Becoming a saint was only a matter of time, and perhaps he might even become the next Cult Leader of the Yin-Yang Cult.
Moreover, they had spent many years with Song Que, developing deep master-servant bonds.
Who could have foreseen that Song Que would be killed.
In that moment, they felt all their hopes shatter.
Furthermore, as guards, with Song Que killed right before their eyes, they bore inescapable blame.
The two guards exchanged a glance, then turned simultaneously, staring at Ye Qiu with murderous aura surging.
One guard shouted sternly, “Ye Changsheng, you first killed Holy Son Yunjie, then poisoned Holy Son Tang Ye to death, and now you ordered your man to kill the Divine Son and City Lord Qian…”
Before the guard could finish, Ye Qiu interrupted forcefully, “And what of it?”
“And what of it? Good, very good!” The guard gnashed his teeth and said, “Killing a Divine Son is an unforgivable crime.”
“Killing Holy Sons is an unforgivable crime.”
“Killing the City Lord is an unforgivable crime.”
“Ye Changsheng, according to the rules of the Yin-Yang Cult, you should suffer the punishment of a thousand cuts and ten thousand ants devouring your heart.”
“However, I can offer you a choice.”
“Destroy your own physical body and offer up your primordial spirit. I will take your primordial spirit back to Yin-Yang Cult headquarters, to be executed by the Cult Leader himself!”
Ye Qiu laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” The speaking guard’s face darkened.
“I am laughing at you for being a bloody idiot.” Ye Qiu said without mercy, “I do not even fear the Wuji Heavenly Venerable. Why would I fear two old fogeys like you?”
Elder Longbrow joined in shouting, “Exactly! You two should piss on the ground and look at your reflections. What the hell are you? Daring to speak to the little rascal in that tone is like lighting a lantern in the toilet: looking for shit!”
“And you lot, did you not vow to follow your master? Now that your master is dead, why do the two of you not follow him?”
“Where has your loyalty gone?”
“Does your conscience not ache?”
“Do you have no sense of contractual spirit at all?”
“If I were you, I would never have the face to continue living in this world. It is utterly fucking disgraceful!”
Elder Longbrow stood with hands on hips, unleashing a full barrage, spittle flying everywhere.
With Elder Niu by his side, Elder Longbrow felt utterly fearless. Even if a saint-level expert arrived, he would dare to curse them, let alone these two who were merely at the peak of the Tongshen realm.
As his tirade rang out, veins bulged on the foreheads of Song Que’s two guards. The killing intent in their eyes grew ever denser.
They longed to crush Elder Longbrow in their grasp.
Unexpectedly, just as Elder Longbrow paused, Elder Niu spoke up.
“Heh heh… just the two of you trash dare to demand that my master destroy his physical body and offer up his primordial spirit? You truly court death!”
“Let alone you two, even if the Wuji Heavenly Venerable came in person, he would not dare such arrogance.”
“Otherwise, this old cow would smash him with one punch!”
As Elder Niu spoke, a smile played on his face, giving him a somewhat honest and simple appearance. Yet to the two guards, that expression looked very much like mockery.
“A few fools who do not know the meaning of death. Even at this point, you still dare to act arrogantly. You seek death.”
Boom!
The two elders stepped forward in unison, murderous aura rolling forth.
“Ye Changsheng, since you are so eager to die, we shall oblige you.”
The two peak Tongshen guards advanced in step, releasing an intimidating pressure.
All around, the guards of the City Lord’s mansion trembled in fear.
Yet, faced with the formidable pressure from the two guards, Ye Qiu and his companions remained utterly unmoved.
“Dali, this is yours.” Ye Qiu instructed.
“Yes, Master.” Elder Niu acknowledged, then grinned at the two guards, “Is peak Tongshen very strong?”
Is it not strong?
The two guards thought to themselves, then sneered coldly, “It seems you still do not understand the might of peak Tongshen…”
Boom!
Before their words finished, an oppressive aura swept over like a tidal wave. Instantly, the sounds of “thud thud thud” echoed endlessly. Every guard in the City Lord’s mansion collapsed to the ground in a single moment.
The two guards felt as though a massive mountain pressed down upon them. In their eyes, Elder Niu suddenly became inscrutable and profound.
“This is… saint-level pressure!”
“You are a saint-level expert!”
The two guards’ faces changed dramatically. They cried out in terror.
“Your master was a fool. You two are fools as well. Otherwise, how could you only now discover my cultivation?”
Elder Niu grinned and said, “I thought you would have realised when I smashed your master with one punch.”
Indeed, if not a saint-level expert, how could he have killed a mid-Tongshen Divine Son with a single punch!
“Run!”
The two guards reacted swiftly. Seeing the situation turn dire, they turned to flee.
But they had forgotten that above the City Lord’s mansion, they themselves had deployed the saint-level killing array. To escape, they would first need to deactivate it.
“Bang!”
Elder Niu extended both hands simultaneously, swiftly seizing the two guards. Without a word, he exerted force in his palms.
“Puff!”
The bodies of the two guards instantly turned into clouds of blood mist. They died on the spot.
“Master, how was my performance?”
After killing the two guards, Elder Niu turned back, smiling as he asked Ye Qiu.
“Not enough.”
Ye Qiu glanced at the thousands upon thousands of City Lord’s mansion guards prostrating on the ground, then looked up at the saint-level killing array and said, “Do not let this killing array go to waste.”
