Chapter 632: Killing Young Master Zhu!
"Hm?"
In the center of the Blood Pool, Young Master Zhu immediately looked over.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his sinister face as he suddenly stood up, causing endless blood to erupt with a splashing sound.
"Die!"
Young Master Zhu suddenly stood up and grabbed at the air with his large hand.
Instantly, countless drops of blood were lifted from the Blood Pool. They continuously changed shape in his hand until they formed a blood dragon hundreds of meters long.
He let out a sinister laugh, and under his control, the blood dragon roared and charged toward Li Yun. The endless blood aura seemed to drown Li Yun from afar.
"Heaven-Intent Sword Art!"
Li Yun snorted coldly and swung his sword.
A strand of Sword Qi hundreds of meters long erupted, flowing with four-colored radiance. It was incredibly beautiful, yet within that brilliance, it concealed tremendous lethality.
Swoosh!
The sharp Sword Qi directly sliced the massive blood dragon in two with a single strike.
"Not bad."
Young Master Zhu curled his lips, and a sinister smile appeared on his face as he sneered, "Kid, you clearly have the strength of a 1st level Heavenly Core Realm expert, yet you can disguise yourself as a peak Mortal Core Realm cultivator. Even I could not see through it. It seems you have mastered a cultivation technique that conceals your cultivation. Hand over that technique, kneel and submit, and I will spare your life."
"Ridiculous."
Li Yun laughed coldly. "You should worry about saving your own life first."
As his words fell, Li Yun suddenly swung his sword.
Sword Qi erupted with unimaginable speed, unleashing a shocking aura of slaughter.
"You do not know when to quit."
Young Master Zhu’s face darkened.
He grabbed at the Blood Pool with both hands, and instantly, the massive pool churned violently. Seventy percent of the blood in the entire pool surged upward at the same time.
Splash!
Under his control, that enormous amount of blood transformed into a blood dragon a thousand meters long. Compared with the previous one, this thousand-meter blood dragon had an even more imposing and dangerous aura.
Roar!
The thousand-meter blood dragon roared and charged forward, even shattering the Sword Qi Li Yun had unleashed.
"Hahahaha!"
Young Master Zhu controlled the blood dragon to stop, laughing heartily. "Kid, with only this level of strength, you dare to come assassinate me? I will give you one last chance. Kneel and submit, or do not blame me for being ruthless."
Li Yun’s expression remained indifferent, completely ignoring Young Master Zhu’s words.
Young Master Zhu’s strength had indeed exceeded his expectations. He had reached the peak of the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm, only a hair away from the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm.
Even so, he was far too weak compared to the five assassins Li Yun had faced outside the Floating Island.
’End this quickly. If this drags on and the surrounding Devil Cult experts come to rescue him, things will become troublesome.’
Li Yun immediately made a decision in his heart.
Young Master Zhu was too weak, and Li Yun could tell that his essence qi was somewhat unstable. Clearly, his cultivation had not been solidly built and relied on various shortcuts.
People like this often lacked firm willpower. Against such cultivators, using soul attacks was the best method.
"Dreamlike Bubble!"
He suddenly struck with his sword.
This strike had no trace of worldly aura. It was as if it did not exist in the mortal realm, but in a dream. Anyone who caught even a glimpse of it could not help becoming entranced.
"Huh? What is this?"
Young Master Zhu initially wore a disdainful smile, but after seeing this strike, he froze completely. His eyes became dazed, his face turned blank, and he completely lost self-awareness.
Although his strength surpassed those five Blood Blade Tavern assassins, in terms of firm willpower and soul resistance, he could not compare to them at all. He fell for the attack in just one exchange.
"Slow Sword!"
Seizing the opportunity, Li Yun swung his sword without hesitation. Brilliant Sword Light instantly pierced through Young Master Zhu’s heart, sending blood spraying outward.
"Ah! Young Master Zhu is dead!"
"Young Master Zhu is actually dead. We are finished now."
Seeing this, the many black-robed cultivators in Violetthorn City turned pale, as if the sky had collapsed. Their hearts filled with utter despair.
Young Master Zhu was the only son of Protector Zhu, the person who governed the surrounding ten-thousand-mile region.
Because he had only this one son, Protector Zhu doted on Young Master Zhu to an extreme degree, almost spoiling him without limit. Whatever Young Master Zhu wanted, Protector Zhu would spare no effort to obtain it for him, and anyone who dared offend Young Master Zhu would face Protector Zhu’s retaliation.
And now, Young Master Zhu was dead.
It was easy to imagine how furious Protector Zhu would become after learning this news. A massive upheaval would sweep across this ten-thousand-mile area.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, Sword Light flashed, and countless strands of Sword Qi rained down, instantly killing all these black-robed cultivators.
Li Yun’s expression remained indifferent as he looked at the corpses of the black-robed cultivators, showing no trace of sympathy.
Young Master Zhu deserved to die, and these people, who aided and abetted tyranny, also deserved death.
Whoosh!
Then, he unleashed another strand of Sword Qi, directly shattering the massive Blood Pool, before flashing back to Ye Qingxue’s side.
"Let us go."
He sheathed his sword and spoke.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from Violetthorn City, there stood a magnificent city.
This city covered an enormous area, dozens of times larger than Violetthorn City. It was the largest city in this ten-thousand-mile region.
Coiling Dragon City.
Young Master Zhu’s father, Zhu Yanlei, was stationed right inside Coiling Dragon City.
At that moment, Zhu Yanlei was inside a luxurious palace chamber. Bare-chested, he lay on a bed three meters long, surrounded by seven or eight beautiful young women in nearly transparent gauze who were diligently attending to him.
In this regard, Zhu Yanlei was very similar to his son, Young Master Zhu. Both were lustful to the core and insatiable in their desires.
"Disaster!"
Just then, a 1st level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator rushed in, panic-stricken, and urgently screamed, "Protector, disaster! Young Master’s soul crystal has shattered."
"What did you say?"
Zhu Yanlei’s expression changed drastically.
He stood up abruptly, and his powerful aura erupted instantly. The eight beautiful young women beside him groaned and were directly crushed to pieces by that terrifying aura.
But he paid no attention to this.
His eyes were icy as he stared at the cultivator who had rushed in and said coldly, "Say that again?"
"I said... Young Master... Young Master is dead..."
Feeling the terrifying aura Zhu Yanlei released, the 1st level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator was so frightened that he knelt down. His whole body trembled, and it took him a long time to stammer out those words.
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yanlei slammed his palm down.
With just one strike, he crushed the man into flesh paste.
"Ah!"
At the same time, a furious roar erupted, directly shattering the room and even the entire palace.
Zhu Yanlei was truly enraged.
In his entire life, he had only this one son. Although this son often caused him trouble, he was still his only son.
He had even thought about letting Young Master Zhu take over his position as a protector of the Blood Slaughter Hall in another twenty years, while he himself could retire in peace and enjoy all the beauties of the world.
But now, his son was dead.
