114 Go all out
Zhou Yun did not hold back at all. In fact, he had already formulated a battle plan in his mind from the very beginning.
Everything was just as Zhou Yun had predicted. He had led Jian Xin by the nose without any preparation until he was finally defeated with a sparse and ordinary sword technique.
Zhou Yun kept his Fire Dragon Sword in its scabbard and panted heavily. This was the first time he had used his full power after breaking through to the mid-stage foundation establishment. In just a few moves, Zhou Yun used both his fire essence body and his comprehensive intent. At the foundation establishment stage, he had displayed the attack of a golden core stage cultivator with the Fire Dragon Sword!
Zhou Yun estimated that he had used 10% of his spiritual energy in that attack! He had used the spiritual energy of five cultivators in the mid-stage foundation establishment combined in one sword attack!
“Hiss!” Zhou Yun retracted his gaze from the sky and looked at the spiritual corpse’s skeleton that was still burning.
The intense heat burned a large hole in the spiritual corpses around Zhou Yun. Even the sky which was made up of countless dead souls was temporarily burned into a hole that reached the sky.
Zhou Yun raised his head to look at the sky, but he did not discover anything.
Jian Xin didn’t make any sound, nor did he smile before he died. Some of them were only consumed by his flames and burned to ashes in shock.
Jian Xin probably had no self-awareness at that time and was completely controlled like a puppet. This was also the reason why Zhou Yun was able to predict such a battle.
He adjusted his breathing slightly. There seemed to be no emotion in his eyes. Other than his extreme rationality, Zhou Yun placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked at Meng Yuxin.
“I’ve already killed Jian Xin. Will you keep your promise?” Zhou Yun did not remove his hand from the hilt of his sword. This heretic practitioner loved to torture others the most, and Zhou Yun was extremely worried!
“You’re really a disciple of an upright sect of the five sects? Jian Xin had taken care of you for a long time and even regarded you as his junior brother. You actually killed him without hesitation. Hahaha! So much for the five upright sects! You don’t even have a trace of sadness on your face.” The ten thousand spiritual corpses laughed at the same time.
Meng Yuxin still didn’t have any expression on her face as she sat on the throne of corpses. However, her brows had relaxed.
“Although he isn’t a heaven’s favorite who can use his will to overcome the fear of the soul, he is still a heaven’s favorite. But could he rely on enlightenment to break free from the fear of the soul? Interesting. This is the first time I’ve seen such a genius. You might be able to use it.” One of the spiritual corpses beside Zhou Yun’s feet suddenly spoke.
Zhou Yun knew that he would eventually expose the fact that he was in the midst of enlightenment. After all, when he was undergoing enlightenment, his spiritual light would flash and he would be able to shield himself from all pain and external interference to think rationally.
Just now, Zhou Yun had no other way. At the last moment, before he was about to be killed by Jian Xin, Zhou Yun remembered that he had avoided the pain through enlightenment when he broke through to the mid-stage foundation establishment. He didn’t expect to really succeed!
As for what would happen later, Zhou Yun could not care less. His priority was to survive!
“Very good. I’ve decided to let the two of you live. I’ll let you follow me to the inheritance ground,” one of the spiritual corpses beside Qiao’er suddenly said.
Then, the Autumn Path School’s elite, who had been standing next to the skeletal throne and had a body that was as strong as divine weapons and even stronger than the spiritual corpse, suddenly screamed madly.
The brawny man’s muscles glowed with a black light like granite! It was as if every muscle in his body possessed unparalleled strength!
The brawny man wailed as he brandished the golden jade spear. He had used the great stage of snatching intent. This force made Zhou Yun feel a throbbing pain on his skin while he was watching! This was a heaven-shaking strike that was completed by pure strength!
The brawny man charged in Meng Yuxin’s direction! Blood kept spurting out of his mouth. He had burned everything in this attack!
“You’re useless now. Just become a zombie,” one of the spiritual corpses on the skeletal throne suddenly said.
It stretched out its hand and grabbed the spear head of the brawny man as if it was a toy that a child was waving. Without any pause, the terrifying heaven-shaking strike was forced to a stop by the skeleton. Then, the warm golden jade spear was snatched away by the skeleton.
“Pfft!” With a twist, the strong man who was still attacking a moment ago was stabbed by the skeleton’s spear the next moment, and a large hole was pierced through his heart.
“Plop.” The brawny man fell to the ground with a loud bang. His extremely hard body had lost all signs of life. In just an instant, the brawny man was killed easily!
“Don’t worry. I… No, I mean what I say. Since I’m going to spare your lives, I naturally won’t go back on my word. It’s better to say that the two of you need to grow up quickly. You’ll be of great use to me.” A spiritual corpse in front of Zhou Yun broke free from the grasp of the other spiritual corpses, stood up and said to Zhou Yun.
“In that case, the five sects should have already destroyed most of the ordinary spiritual corpses. I reckon that even my fake body will have to pay the price to finish killing them. It’s time to abandon this world,” the spiritual corpse in front of Zhou Yun said. It pointed to the two sides of the throne, indicating for Zhou Yun and Qiao’er to stand there.
Zhou Yun looked at Qiao’er and nodded. He and Qiao’er stood on either side of the throne.
Zhou Yun was still in the Enlightenment State. He was on high alert. If Meng Yuxin made any other move, he would definitely resist!
Who knew if another heaven’s favorite would be brought here from somewhere else in the next moment? If they were stronger and more outstanding than Zhou Yun, then the next one to die would be Zhou Yun!
“This world has been used for a long time, but to accomplish the great cause, let it be destroyed. Brat, you should be glad that you didn’t meet me. Otherwise, you might have been trapped in this narrow world for the rest of your life and died like an ant,” the spiritual corpse continued.
Suddenly, the entire Avici Hell started to shake crazily, as if it was going to be destroyed!
“My clone was killed. Then let’s begin. Let’s return to the inheritance ground.” The spiritual corpse shook its head and pointed at the space in front of it. The spiritual corpse’s palm seemed to have touched something, and the space around it started to ripple.
“Sizzle!” Suddenly, Zhou Yun discovered that a spiritual corpse five meters away from the throne was set ablaze! The cold white flame burned fiercely!
“Sizzle!” The flames spread rapidly. There was clearly no wind to fan the flames, but the entire mountain of spiritual corpses was like a flammable object. In the blink of an eye, the white flames soared into the sky and burned the entire mountain of bones!
Other than the area within five meters of the throne, all the spiritual corpses outside were burning! It was melting rapidly! It was as if the flames were going to burn all the spiritual corpses!
At the same time, Zhou Yun discovered that the tens of millions of dead souls in the sky seemed to be attracted. The white flames had a fatal attraction to the dead souls in the sky!
Countless dead souls fell from the sky and charged toward the white flames!
