Chapter 687: Slaying Qing Luan, Pardoning Hongze
Chapter 687: Slaying Qing Luan, Pardoning Hongze
Even the lowest-level beings could see with their naked eyes that Shen Yi's probing palm firmly grasped Qing Luan's lower jaw, and a noticeable green light was spreading from it.
This was a sign that Qing Luan's Jie Li was about to be broken.
"Huh?" Qi Feng was a little surprised. When did Shenxu have the strength to restrain Tianwu?
This wasn't something that could be achieved with just a 200-Jie difference.
Obviously, Qi Feng wasn't the only one surprised.
After a brief moment of daze, Qing Luan's fair and handsome face suddenly flushed, and he held the Xian Wu long spear with both palms, awakening the spirit of the immortal bird. He fiercely thrust the spear forward!
The sound of the Luan Feng's cry echoed again, and the distorted Tian Mu was pulled by the green light, as if the curtain was rolling, about to be torn down.
The power of this spear was even more formidable than before!
Under such divine might, a dull sound slowly reverberated.
Boom! Shen Yi's free right palm suddenly clenched into a fist and struck the spear, causing the Xian Wu long spear to halt in mid-air once more. As it trembled slightly, it emitted a sound like a mournful cry.
After a stalemate of over ten breaths.
The dense green light suddenly scattered, and under Qing Luan's gaze, the long spear slipped from his palm and flew away.
Just as he turned his head, a punch followed closely behind.
The fist peak, which he couldn't guard against, stamped onto his face, unleashing immense power and sending him flying tens of thousands of miles away!
Before Qing Luan could stabilize his body, he heard Hong Jing's angry shout, "Careful!"
With his rich experience, he turned his head and his pupils constricted.
He saw a figure in a black robe emerging from the void in the direction he was falling.
Shen Yi slightly raised his eyes, calmly gazing at himself.
Between the swaying sleeves, a slowly clenching palm emitted a flickering golden light, resembling a deadly blade.
For some reason, Qing Luan, who had fought all his life, suddenly felt a deep chill in his bones when he saw that golden light.
He smelled the scent of death.
Although Qing Luan had joined the Tian Ting as a general at a young age and had limited interactions with Shenxu Mountain cultivators, he had some understanding of them.
That golden light was far less dazzling than the Tai Xu Shen Yang and lacked the annihilating might of the Tai Xu Jin Lei. It was just an ordinary sight, yet it inexplicably made one's heart palpitate! Up until now, Qing Luan still didn't know what kind of divine ability the other party had deduced from the Tai Xu Dao Fa.
Something's wrong, this Tai Xu Dao Guo is not right!
Forget about the Tianwu Dao Guo; even his master, the Tianwu Xianzun's Dao Guo, emphasized rooting in the heavens and earth, not speed.
Qing Luan hadn't even recovered from the immense power he had endured, let alone had the chance to turn around. Shen Yi's position, stepping out of the void, precisely blocked his only retreat.
It seemed that the only choice now was to summon the power of 2,700 Jie and use his indestructible Xian Wu body to withstand the golden light in the other party's hand.
But at this moment, Qing Luan's pupils dilated, and his entire face turned fierce! At his age, he had rarely made mistakes to become a high-ranking and powerful immortal general. He relied on never gambling on uncertain things.
The next moment, he clenched his right hand in the air.
The Xian Wu spear, which had been blasted away, reformed in his palm, and as the vibrant green energy spread, Qing Luan's left hand quietly rested on his robe.
Under the cover of the robe, the fourth-rank leopard seal suddenly burst forth with dazzling immortal light!
The great seal bestowed by the Celestial Court usually represented the limit of the same rank.
Although the fourth-rank realm is a cultivator's personal understanding of the Dao Guo, each has its own merits, and one cannot simply use Jie Li to judge superiority.
But three thousand Jie is enough for a celestial being to suppress those of the same realm!
When his five fingers touched the seal, the warmth from his palm spread throughout his body, and Qing Luan's eyes once again became calm, as if he had transformed back into that invincible immortal general.
This leopard seal didn't fall from the heavens for no reason.
It was earned by Qing Luan through countless battles, so why shouldn't he use it? Why can't he use it? To bind oneself with such stupidity is not the act of a wise man.
With the enhancement of Xian Li, Qing Luan suddenly turned around, and the Xian Wu spear pierced through the sky, carrying his Jie Li like a blue dragon leaping out of the sea.
"Follow me, and slay this brute!"
The Xian Yin represented not only the mighty Xian Li but also the command over the celestial soldiers and generals under his command.
The celestial formation that had previously trapped Hongze with countless soldiers and generals moved against their will at this loud shout, following the spear and charging towards the black-robed figure in the air.
"Despicable beast!"
The beings of Hongze witnessed this scene, completely forgetting the majesty of the Celestial Court, and couldn't help but shout in anger.
Even if they couldn't understand the changes in the Xian Yin, how could they not see the Xian Li surging on the celestial soldiers and generals? At this moment, the heavens and earth had become their prison, trapping Shen Chief in the middle.
The situation suddenly reversed.
However, Shen Yi's expression didn't change much. He had never believed Qing Luan's words from the beginning.
Hence, he had spoken with some intensity earlier.
Not only did the common people of Hongze have high hopes for the Immortal Court, but so did Shen Yi.
He was just unaccustomed to entrusting his life to others, which didn't mean he truly believed that his path of subduing demons and eliminating monsters could be casually slandered.
Shen Yi wanted to live, but while staying alive, he also tried his best to protect those innocent lives.
This action shouldn't be considered demonic, it made no sense! But Qingluan's previous words shattered the faint hope he had for the Immortal Court.
Therefore, when Shen Yi made his move, he had always taken that immortal seal into account, the only thing that exceeded his expectations was the immortal formation composed of heavenly soldiers and generals.
After all, it was his first time being a "demon" under the nose of the Immortal Court. He never expected that these low-cultivation heavenly soldiers and generals, once gathered, could unleash such terrifying power, even rivaling that of the immortal seal!
"All of you, stop for this lord!"
Qifeng's divine general's face changed drastically. He waved his arm forcefully, and in front of the surging divine power, the countless heavenly soldiers and generals, like wild grass in a strong wind, were instantly tossed aside, twisted and bent.
However, the strike he had just unleashed was already out.
He furiously extended his palm, and the five fingers of his primordial god-demon body pierced through the void in an instant, reaching straight for Shen Yi, wanting to pull him out of this heavenly prison first.
"Qingluan, are you forcing this lord to build a Demon-Subduing Pagoda just for you!"
Considering Tianlu's laws and Qingluan's outstanding battle achievements, Qifeng had been extremely patient with him, but now, his voice turned cold, without a trace of softness left.
Since it was a personal grudge, how dare he use the immortal seal, how dare he mobilize the heavenly army!
However, what Qifeng didn't expect was that his palm grabbed nothing but air.
As the ink-colored robe fluttered, Shen Yi's slender figure lightly dissipated into thin air.
The Great Void Dao Fruit once again came into play.
Qifeng's face didn't show joy, instead, he sighed in frustration, "Ai!"
Indeed, Qingluan didn't show the slightest change in expression. His eyes were cold and sharp, and his lips held murderous intent. The Tianwu spear still thrust towards the empty space.
At the same time, the thick immortal force instantly sealed the surrounding heaven and earth.
The distorted void was forcibly stretched flat!
Escape into the Great Void? Don't even think about it!
Just as the Tianwu spear was about to reach, the immortal force finally separated the Great Void from the heavens and earth completely.
In an instant, a shadow was forced to fall out of the Great Void.
However, what appeared before Qingluan's eyes was not the tall and slender figure from before, but a round golden pill.
"Is this your Dao?"
Qingluan gave a cold laugh, his face twisted with malice. No matter how you change, once your true form is revealed, you can only meet your end under this spear.
The spear's glow, infused with the power of the cataclysm and immortal energy, fiercely pierced the golden pill.
Following closely, the power of the heavenly soldiers and generals' formation also arrived.
The three forces converged! Crack!
The golden pill quietly developed cracks.
Feeling the spreading rich fragrance, Qingluan's eyes turned red, completely losing his sanity. From the moment he took out the immortal seal, he had no way back.
"Ahhhh!"
He roared, withdrawing his right hand that held the spear, then swinging his long arm in a circle, he slapped the spear's tail with a heavy palm! The entire Tianwu spear shattered from the top, immortal wood flying everywhere, determined to crush the golden pill with one strike.
Until the spear completely collapsed, the golden pill also cracked like an egg.
Qingluan roared again, his fists like pounding hammers, pounding down relentlessly! As a Tianwu, he stood on the earth, his body soaring into the clouds, tearing through the vast sky.
"Die for this general!"
At this moment, the shattered golden pill became extremely quiet, as if incubating something.
Just as Qingluan's fist was about to land, strands of golden light shot out from within, growing against the storm, transforming into two solid arms that blotted out the sky!
Without any hesitation, the first issue was resolved.
The golden light extended, forming a palm and five fingers.
It was as if an extraordinary being was about to break free from its shell!
Under Qingluan's wide-eyed gaze, the two arms pressed down on the heavens and earth, as if propping up the abyssal cliff, and a majestic upper body emerged from the pill, raising its head!
"Roar!"
Amidst the dragon's roar and tiger's howl, a half-figure of a majestic golden figure suddenly appeared before Qingluan, high above, with the blue sky as its canopy, its entire body bathed in golden light, radiating in all four directions. The figure looked down indifferently, as if gazing upon ants.
The pill's emergence startled both ghosts and gods, shaking the heavens and earth.
Qingluan's fists, which he had pounded down with all his strength, froze in midair, and then instinctively crossed his arms, blocking his front.
Because the golden arms that blotted out the sky had already risen high, and with a deafening thunderous roar, they stirred up a thousand-zhang golden river, smashing down directly!
Boom!
A mountain crushing an ant.
With just one punch, Qingluan's arms cracked, and with another, his eyes nearly burst from their sockets, and he spat out blood.
His final strike, with no way back, couldn't cause even a ripple in Shen Yi's heart.
From the very beginning, Shen Yi had never considered retreat.
His desperate fight for survival was merely a daily routine for Shen Yi.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the incessant crashing sounds, all living beings present seemed to witness a towering immortal wu tree being shattered by powerful punches, with phoenixes and birds startled into flight.
This was a sign of the calamity force being forcefully dispersed.
"Chirp... Chirp..."
Qing Luan's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard, staring intently upwards with a fixed gaze. His entire body had already shattered completely.
Until a faint muffled sound emanated from within his body.
The immortal wu tree's divine phoenix fruit shattered, and a bit of green light overflowed from his body.
He stared blankly at the sky filled with green light, and finally, a thick sense of fear and despair emerged in his pupils, gradually losing all luster.
Pfft!
The final punch landed, causing Qing Luan's frail body to explode cleanly, turning into a pool of blood. Even this, the only proof of his existence, was instantly swallowed by the golden river flowing from the massive fist.
The majestic half-body monster stood silently, gazing down. It closed its eyes, and amidst the thunderous breathing, its colossal form gradually turned into golden light and dissipated.
What remained at the site was not the golden pill from before.
Instead, a handsome young man stood quietly, his thin lips pressed tightly, exuding a hint of coldness. His clear black eyes calmly scanned the surroundings.
Shen Yi remained silent, and the entire world seemed to fall into silence along with him.
After a long while, the sound of inhalation rose like a tidal wave, and the countless immortal generals and soldiers in the sky and land finally regained their senses.
Their Qing Luan Immortal General was dead! Compared to the half-body evil god from before, the young man before them seemed so insignificant, yet the oppressive aura emanating from his body was becoming increasingly intense.
"Using the Tai Xu Dao Fa to cultivate the Dan Dao and give birth to ghosts and gods?"
"What kind of method is this..."
Qi Feng had witnessed Qing Luan's death, and after all, the one from Shenxu Mountain had not broken any rules. If he had won, it would have been a purely internal conflict within the immortal sect, unrelated to Qi Feng.
He had never seen such an unusual fourth-grade Dao fruit.
Thinking of this, Qi Feng subconsciously looked at the surrounding celestial soldiers and generals. With so many people around, this direct disciple of Shenxu Mountain would soon become famous throughout the realm.
And this fame was built upon the death of Tian Wu Qing Luan, making it even more significant.
"It's over..."
Dong Longwang's entire head was trembling.
Even as one of the most experienced and knowledgeable in Hongze, he had never imagined that he would witness the fall of a fourth-grade immortal general in his lifetime.
The one who struck the fatal blow was someone who, just a few years ago, had laid under a pagoda tree and addressed him as a senior.
Both had their own thoughts, considering how to bring a new era to Hongze, but now, in front of this young man, even the so-called heavens might not have the qualifications to flatter him.
The sword hanging over the heads of countless Hongze lives had been shattered by Shen Zongzhu in the most brutal way, reduced to pieces with just a few punches and kicks.
"Shen... Master."
Ye Lan hurried over, her eyes darting around with apprehension.
Only she knew that the majestic golden figure from before was not manifested through the Tai Xu Dao Fa but was actually the Bodhi Sect's Great Luohan's Golden Body.
It was true that the Tian Wu was indestructible, but Qing Luan had not yet reached that level. He only possessed the fourth-grade immortal wu tree Dao fruit.
The so-called indomitable spirit was in comparison to the Dao fruits of cultivators. It wasn't meant for him to engage in a direct confrontation with the Luohans of the Bodhi Sect, who cultivated their physical bodies.
What shocked Ye Lan the most was that she had just accepted the fact that Shen Yi had broken through to the fourth grade, and before she could fully process it, she discovered that his Tai Xu Dao fruit had also reached the fourth grade. Moreover, in terms of calamity, it was no less impressive than the other Bodhi Sect's fruit position.
What kind of monster was this?
Even the heavens couldn't explain it clearly; perhaps only the embodiment of the heavens themselves could provide such an effect.
"I'm fine," Shen Yi said, shaking his head lightly.
The reason he stood in the air was not because he had suffered a severe injury.
Even with the addition of the celestial seal, Qing Luan's cultivation was still inferior to his. The celestial soldiers and generals, who posed the greatest threat to him, had only launched one attack before being dispersed by the Star God General.
The reason Shen Yi hadn't moved and was casually observing the surroundings was because of what he held in his embrace.
His tightly pressed lips were not due to the coldness but rather a hint of guilt.
The fourth-grade celestial seal, which should have dissipated with Qing Luan's death, returning to the heavens, was still intact.
Within the large seal, beside the sleeping panther spirit, several "thief" figures appeared.
The Azure Dragon, Frost Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Green Phoenix quietly approached its limbs, while the Calamity Qilin cautiously climbed onto its head.
"..."
This wasn't the first time Shen Yi had stolen celestial power, but he had never done it in front of a third-grade true god.
Don't cause trouble!
