199: I Should've Just Shot Him On The Wall
🕑 Added 2025-03-07 15:35:28 +0000 UTC"Elder Dong Jiukui!" The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. The East Ruins Divine Sovereign's face paled as he glanced at the man he had originally viewed as weakling, then back at Dong Jiukui, and shouted anxiously.
"Lord Jiao!" Fairy Zixuan and Dongfang Hanwei were also stunned, but their shock quickly turned to joy. The originally grim situation had completely changed the moment their Lord Jiao made his move!
As expected, Lord Jiao Heng is mighty! Not even the great realm king can stop him!
Yan Yao was also surprised. She had thought she had a good grasp of this man's strength, but she hadn't expected him to be this powerful. He had actually managed to defeat a Divine Sovereign with a single punch as a Divine King. 'How the fuck did he do that?!'
She had been watching him the whole time and saw him move before the other two could react, which was already shocking enough. But when he punched that old man, her shock multiplied tenfold!
She had previously heard about Tian Guhu, who was said to be able to fight opponents three small realms above him. So when she fought him, she was surprised but not truly shocked. However, what she witnessed now left her completely speechless, there were no words to describe the shock she felt.
Although Tian Guhu could fight opponents three small realms above him, this advantage only applied within the same major realm. For example, if Tian Guhu was at the 7th level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, he could contend with a 10th-level Divine Sovereign. However, if he were at the 10th level of the Divine Sovereign Realm and faced a 1st-level Divine Master, he would have no chance of victory, the gap between major realms was simply too vast.
However, right now, she had witnessed with her own eyes Yun Wuji defeating a 3rd Level Divine Sovereign with his 10th Level Divine King Realm cultivation. This was no longer simply fighting across small realms, it was transcending an entire great realm!
'No wonder Master paid so much attention to him. Master's insight is truly beyond our understanding,' Yan Yao glanced at Yun Wuji, feeling a deeper admiration for her master, the Devil Queen.
Now that Yun Wuji had displayed a battle strength far beyond her expectations, her plans needed to be adjusted. She swung her sword, sending a dark blade arc toward the East Ruins Divine Sovereign, who was about to rush to Dong Jiukui's aid and smiled coldly. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Damn it!" The East Ruins Divine Sovereign hurriedly used his sword to block the blade attack and cursed loudly. His heart was pounding furiously. The situation had changed so suddenly and drastically. They had originally held the upper hand, but now the "burden" they thought they could exploit had turned out to be a monster that might devour them both!
Standing in the air above the crater, Yun Wuji slowly raised his hand, his arm pointing toward the sky as if it were a sword. With a swift motion, he swung it down. "Heavenly Wolf Slash!"
Instantly, the surrounding space stirred, and the air was forcefully split open. The moment his hand slashed downward, an illusionary image of a blue wolf howling toward the sky flashed momentarily behind Yun Wuji.
Boom!
The Blue Wolf moved in sync with Yun Wuji's hand and descended toward the crater, devouring everything in its path! A sharp, deafening tearing sound filled everyone's ears.
Yan Yao's pupils shrank when she saw this move. Although she had never witnessed the Heavenly Wolf Slash in person, she had inherited memories from her inheritance and occasionally heard Chi Wuyao speak about the Star Gods. She immediately recognized Yun Wuji's technique. 'How could someone from the Northern Divine Region know the Star God Realm's Heavenly Wolf Hell God's Tome?!'
'How many secrets does this man have?!'
'I need to report this to Master immediately!'
When the attack subsided and the dust cleared, a massive, bottomless hole was revealed. Dong Jiukui, a 3rd Level Divine Sovereign Realm expert who had been worshipped like a god by the people of the East Ruins Realm, had died just like that. No corpse remained, only the dark abyss where he once stood.
"You... you!" The East Ruins Divine Sovereign's mouth hung open. He wanted to speak, but no words came out. How could this happen? Dong Jiukui had died so suddenly and easily! 'No! This can't be happening! I need to run!' Without hesitation, the man turned around and fled frantically.
Bang!
However, the moment he moved, Yan Yao's blade appeared before his eyes. He hurriedly raised his sword to block it, being pushed back hundreds of meters. Yan Yao looked at him indifferently and said, "Where do you think you're going?"
East Ruins Divine Sovereign gripped his sword with both hands, forcing a smile that looked uglier than a cry. "Miss, miss, please, this is a misunderstanding! It is indeed my fault. Spare this little one's life, and I will do my best to compensate you."
He didn't dare to show any anger or displeasure on his face, suppressing all his emotions deep in his heart. All he wanted was to preserve his life. So what if he felt indignant and resentful? Without life, how could he even think about seeking revenge?
"Compensation? Why should we care about your compensation? Can't we just take everything you have after you're dead?" Suddenly, Yun Wuji's figure appeared in front of him. He clenched his fist and punched toward the East Ruins Divine Sovereign.
The East Ruins Divine Sovereign froze in shock. Even though he had been facing Yan Yao, his senses had been locked on Yun Wuji the entire time. Yet, somehow, Yun Wuji appeared in front of him without him noticing anything. He couldn't understand how it happened.
Facing the punch coming at his face, time seemed to stretch infinitely, and his movements became unbearably slow. He could only watch helplessly as the fist, surrounded by black fragments of light, struck him.
'I'm going to die just like that?!' The man felt death breathing down his neck. He desperately tried to move his body, but it felt impossibly slow!
Boom!
The moment the fist connected, a terrifying force erupted. The black fragments of light tore through his protective profound energy like paper. A deafening shockwave exploded outward as his body was sent flying like a broken kite, blood spraying from his mouth midair.
Swoosh!
Before the East Ruins Divine Sovereign's body could crash into the ground, Yan Yao suddenly moved. Her body blurred as she appeared behind him. Her sword pierced through his chest without the slightest resistance, stabbing straight through his heart. She then twisted her blade, completely shredding his heart.
"You..." The East Ruins Divine Sovereign slowly turned his head, his wide red eyes filled with anger, hatred, and regret. He regretted seeking revenge for his son. He regretted raising him to be an arrogant second-generation young master. At that moment, he even regretted not shooting him on the wall.
Finally, the light in his eyes dimmed, and his head drooped lifelessly. His body slid off her blade and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Suddenly, Yan Yao began to cough violently. Blood seeped from her mouth, and her body lost control, falling to the ground.
"Yan Yao!" Yun Wuji's expression changed, and he shot toward her to catch her. As he flew, he thought to himself, 'Tsk! This woman didn't forget to keep on her act!'
"Don't touch me!" Just as Yun Wuji was about to hold her, Yan Yao suddenly regained her balance and used her profound energy to push him away, her voice cold. Then, as if realizing her attitude was too harsh, she softened her tone and said, "I'm fine. It's just that an old injury has relapsed."
She had never allowed anyone other than her sisters and her master to touch her. How could she allow a man to do so now? Even if it was for the sake of her mission, she would rather fail than compromise on this.
Yun Wuji retracted his hands, which were just about to catch her, and said, "This isn't the right place to tend to your injuries. Let's get out of here and check them."
"Alright," Yan Yao replied calmly, nodding her head.
Yun Wuji quickly landed on the ground and skillfully searched the body of the East Ruins Divine Sovereign. After taking everything of value, he casually tossed the body aside and flew toward Dongfang Hanwei and Fairy Zixuan. "We no longer have anything to do here. Let's leave," he said.
"Yes, My Lord!" Both girls nodded and followed him.
After leaving the Central Ruins Realm, Yun Wuji's group found a remote place to rest and recuperate.
Yan Yao sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, as dark profound energy swirled slowly around her body.
"Will Senior Yan Yao be alright?" Fairy Zixuan looked at her and then asked Yun Wuji. She had been very dissatisfied with Yan Yao earlier because of her arrogant attitude, but after Yan Yao revealed her Divine Sovereign Realm cultivation, all her dissatisfaction vanished and turned into reverence.
This was a normal occurrence in this world where strength was respected. As long as one was strong, they would earn admiration and worship from others.
"She should be," Yun Wuji replied slowly, glancing at Yan Yao.
'She isn't even injured in the first place. How could anything happen to her?'
After a long while, Yan Yao slowly opened her eyes and coughed up a large amount of thick, black blood. Wiping her lips, she stood up and said apologetically, "Sorry for making you all worry."
"You don't need to apologize, Miss Yan," Yun Wuji said, shaking his head with a light smile as if he didn't mind. However, his smile faded as his gaze turned serious. "But now, isn't it time to tell me why you were hiding your strength?"
As Yun Wuji's words fell, the atmosphere grew tense.
Fairy Zixuan's expression turned serious as she cautiously moved behind Yun Wuji, while DongFang Hanwei wore an uneasy look. In the chaos of the battle, both women had forgotten about this matter, but now that Yun Wuji brought it up, their vigilance returned.
If someone concealed their true cultivation, it meant they had an ulterior motive.
So, what was her reason for getting close to Yun Wuji?
