Chapter 793: Time For A Payback!
"Time for payback."
Li Yun muttered as he fully activated the power of Nine Tribulations Divine Eye.
His left eye blazed with purple radiance.
The moment this happened, Li Yun could feel his soul power returning to his body at a rapid speed.
Originally, his soul power had nearly run dry, and his soul was on the verge of perishing. However, after he used the full power of Nine Tribulations Divine Eye, a mysterious force rippled outward, nourishing and restoring his soul.
In only a few breaths, his depleted soul power fully recovered.
His soul returned completely to its peak state, and it even became stronger and more stable than before.
Although the quantity of his soul power did not increase much, its quality improved significantly.
It was as if something originally made of cotton had been refined into steel.
This was a qualitative leap.
Compared to a simple increase in quantity, this change was far more significant and carried deeper implications.
At this moment, Li Yun had fully recovered.
He opened his eyes.
His left eye glowed with purple radiance, while his right eye contained the Sword Pupil.
"Illusion-Extinguishing Sword Pupil."
He let out a sharp cry.
Within his eyes, countless swords emerged and rose and fell like a sea of stars. These innumerable swords formed a sea of swords, a kingdom of swords, and a universe of swords.
This time, Li Yun did not hold anything back.
For the first time, he allowed this eye technique to run wild.
"Destroy."
Then, countless precious swords whistled upward.
In an instant, clouds surged, heaven and earth shifted, and the swords struck down with peerless sharpness, directly cleaving through the sea of fire.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Clusters of flames melted away rapidly, as if they had met their natural nemesis.
Even though this was the Abyssal Evil Flame, it still could not withstand such pure power.
Murong Lan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with horror. He could barely believe the reality before him.
Even with the power of the Abyssal Evil Flame strengthening him, his Blazing Current Divine Eye had still been broken.
"Slash."
Li Yun had no intention of letting Murong Lan off.
This was a blood feud, a grudge that could only end in death.
He turned from defense to offense.
Within the soul space, countless swords erupted with peerless and terrifying power, slashing down through the air toward Murong Lan’s soul.
"No!"
Murong Lan’s face filled with terror.
He screamed frantically and wanted to retreat from the soul space.
Unfortunately, it was already too late for retreat.
Pop!
In the next instant, both of his pupils suddenly exploded.
Blood flowed frantically from his eye sockets, and his entire appearance became wretched and miserable to the extreme.
"Lan’er!"
Murong De’s expression changed instantly.
His figure blurred, and he appeared above the arena in a flash.
Looking at Murong Lan’s wretched state, he was filled with shock and fury, and he could not stop himself from roaring.
Although Xie Yanluo’s pupils had also exploded before, that had been due to the backlash of the Ghost-Seizing Evil Eye. As long as a certain price was paid, he could still recover.
But Murong Lan was different.
His pupils had exploded not because of a personal backlash, but because they had been forcibly broken by Li Yun.
This kind of damage was irreversible and irreparable.
In other words, from this moment on, the most outstanding descendant of this generation of the Blazing Current Divine Eye Clan had been completely ruined and forever severed from the Martial Dao.
"Little bastard, you dare to be so ruthless? I want you dead."
Murong De roared, completely losing his mind as he moved to strike Li Yun with a palm.
"You are courting death."
But before his palm could fall, a cold snort rang out.
Then, Elder Bai Jing appeared instantly, swung his sword, and sent Murong De flying backward.
He said coldly, "Murong De, do you really think my Profound Origin Immortal Sect is easy to bully? When Murong Lan used the Abyssal Evil Flame, I did not intervene only for the sake of the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly’s rules. Do you really think I am afraid of you? Do you believe I can cut you down with one sword right now?"
"Little Bai, are you not being a little too overbearing?"
From the Myriad Demon Dao Sect camp, the skeletal old man’s slow voice rang out. "Murong De was simply concerned for his family junior and lost his mind for a moment. That is within reason. Why must you make such a fuss?"
"Old thing, shut up."
Elder Bai Jing sneered. "Do you really think you can act superior in front of me just because you are a little older? I said I did not act earlier only because of the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly’s rules. That does not mean I am afraid of you."
"You!"
The skeletal old man’s face immediately darkened.
A cold light flickered in his cloudy eyes as he prepared to stand up.
"Enough."
But just then, Elder Qing’s indifferent voice rang out.
He said coldly, "How much longer are you all going to continue this farce?"
"I have already said before that anyone who dares to take action without permission at the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly will be expelled immediately."
"Murong De, it seems you treated my words as wind passing by your ears."
"This..."
Murong De’s face changed instantly.
With the skeletal old man as his backing, he might dare to ignore Elder Bai Jing, but even so, he did not dare to disregard Elder Qing.
"I will give you three breaths of time to leave Lake Heart Island immediately."
Elder Qing’s voice was cold.
Then he turned his gaze toward Murong Lan and said indifferently, "Before the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly began, I emphasized that intentional killing is prohibited during the competition."
"You do not need to continue in the subsequent matches. All your remaining matches will be counted as losses."
Surprisingly, after hearing Elder Qing’s words, Murong Lan’s expression did not change at all.
From the moment his Blazing Current Divine Eye was ruined, his heart had already died.
Whether Elder Qing punished him or not no longer mattered.
Without the Blazing Current Divine Eye, his combat power would only be ten or twenty percent of what it had once been. He would not be able to defeat anyone. Even Lu Yuchen or the Fourth Knight could easily defeat him now.
He knew that his future was completely ruined.
To be precise, he no longer had a future.
The Murong Family was not a place of kindness or humility. Although it was a family, its cruelty far exceeded that of sects like the Profound Origin Immortal Sect.
One could imagine that news of his ruined pupils would reach the Murong Family headquarters before long.
Before he could even return to the family, someone else would likely have already taken his place.
And his end was destined to be incredibly tragic.
Finally, with a dark expression, Murong De took Murong Lan and left Lake Heart Island.
Elder Bai Jing and the skeletal old man also obediently sat back in their seats.
Both of them had been warned by Elder Qing. However, perhaps out of consideration for the Five Supreme Factions, Elder Qing did not expel them from the venue and only scolded them for a few sentences.
The farce came to an end here.
However, at this moment, the way everyone looked at Li Yun had become completely different from before.
"Li Yun is truly ruthless enough. First, he forced Xie Yanluo into an evil eye backlash, and now he has directly ruined Murong Lan’s Blazing Current Divine Eye. He really does not hesitate when he strikes."
"He is indeed ruthless. Facing the Three Great Eye Cultivation Clans, most people really would not dare to do this."
