The old zombie was deeply resentful of Sun Yueying and her companions. If it werenât for them, how could it have ended up in this situation? So, at this moment, it immediately volunteered to kill Sun Yueying.
âThis woman dares to threaten you, young master. Let me kill her!â the old zombie said coldly once again.
âYes, young master. We donât even have to get our hands dirty⌠heheâŚâ
Li Ming didnât finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious. Using the old zombie to kill Sun Yueying would free them from responsibility. Later, they could even claim that they subdued the zombie themselves, gaining significant merit.
âHeheâŚâ The Yin-Yang Young Master chuckled darkly, then said, âHehe, Sun Yueying, youâve defied me repeatedly. Do you really think I donât dare to kill you? Hehe, Zombie King, kill her!â
âHow dare you, Yin-Yang Young Master!â
At this moment, Sun Yueying panicked. Just as the old zombie had said, killing her and her companions would only benefit the Yin-Yang Young Master, with no downside.
âThereâs nothing I wonât dare to do. Old zombie, kill!â The Yin-Yang Young Master sneered coldly and retreated.
âArrrrr!â
Receiving the Yin-Yang Young Masterâs command, the Zombie King let out a long howl that made the mountain tremble. As it howled, the b!ood in the entire b!ood pool surged violently, suddenly rising into the air and forming a column of b!ood that rushed toward its body. In an instant, the pool dried up, and all the b!ood wrapped around the Zombie King, forming a massive b!ood ball in the center of the scene.
Moments later, an overwhelming aura filled with b!oodlust and killing intent appeared again. Sun Yueying wore a bitter expression, unable to imagine how the three of them could escape this catastrophe.
The b!ood covering the Zombie King dispersed, revealing its complete body. After absorbing the b!ood from the entire pool, the injuries it had sustained were completely healed, and its aura became even more formidable.
âLittle junior sister, donât be afraid. Even if we die, weâll make these bastards pay!â
Li Yunyang grasped his Azure Light Sword in his right hand, his face pale but determined as he stepped forward, glaring coldly at the group.
âHmph, Second and Third Brothers, kill those two useless ones. Leave that s!ut, Sun Yueying, for the Zombie King to handle!â
The Yin-Yang Young Master sneered at Li Yunyang. After his words, two men advanced toward the two behind Sun Yueying, their faces twisted with mocking smiles. There was no way Sun Yueying would watch them kill Tian Fan and the others. She gathered her True Qi, and her Violet Purity Sword emitted a faint glow as she swung it forward, trying to block their advance, but the old zombie intercepted her.
âKehehe, little girl, let this king play with you!â
The old zombieâs entire body emitted a nauseating odor. After blocking the Violet Clear Sword with one palm, it launched a fierce attack toward Sun Yueying.
âHeheâŚâ
The second and third men had already approached Tian Fan and the other companion. Li Yunyang stood with his Azure Light Sword across his chest, full of rage and vigilance, while Tian Fan stood calmly behind him.
âHehe, boy, kneel before your granddaddy and crawl between my legs. If you do, Iâll give you a quick death!â
The second man, the first to step forward, sneered at Li Yunyang, pointing to his legs. The third man beside him laughed coldly as well.
âYou!â
âWhat? Crawling between my legs would be an honor in your life! HahahaâŚâ Both men laughed loudly, their faces filled with ridicule and contempt.
âYou!â Li Yunyang was furious. âIâll fight you to the death! Even if I die, Iâll take you down with me!â
As he spoke, Li Yunyangâs entire body began to emit a faint glow, growing stronger and stronger. His aura intensified, nearing the mid-stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm. His pupils were b!oodshot, staring fixedly at the second man in front of him.
âYou⌠youâre crazy!â
Seeing Li Yunyangâs state, the second and third men were alarmed, quickly taking a step back. Li Yunyangâs aura continued to grow, his entire body emitting a blazing red light, now surpassing the second man by a small margin. Sun Yueying, who was engaged in battle, was shocked when she sensed this, and she turned her head to see Li Yunyangâs current state. She cried out anxiously, âSenior Brother, no!â
She wanted to rush over, but the old zombie held her back.
âHehe, burning your life force? Youâll still die! Youâll turn to dust! Donât think about getting past me!â The old zombie sneered, clearly toying with her, not intending to kill her immediately.
The Yin-Yang Young Master and Li Ming also looked over. Li Mingâs expression turned serious. âThis kidâs gone mad. Heâs burning his life force!â
The Yin-Yang Young Master, full of disdain, said, âThat trash. Even if he burns his life force, at best heâll reach the peak of the mid-stage Condensation Realm. Trash is always trash! Burning his life force wonât change anything!â
Li Yunyang was originally only at the early-stage of the Condensation Realm. Though he had one foot into the mid-stage, he hadnât fully reached it yet. The second and third men were both solidly at the mid-stage, though their foundations were unstable. Even so, they were slightly stronger than him.
Now heavily injured and facing certain death, humiliated by the second man, Li Yunyang chose the most brutal way to fight: burning his life force to gain temporary power. Life force is second only to the soul and is the foundation of cultivation!
âNo, Senior Brother!â Sun Yueyingâs face was full of sorrow, tears streaming down her face.
âDonât cry, little junior sister. Even if I die, I wonât let these bastards go!â
The light around Li Yunyang grew even more intense, and the powerful energy scattered debris everywhere. The second and third men now each held a precious golden sword, their expressions grim as they stared at Li Yunyang. They no longer dared to underestimate him. Only a madman would burn their life force to fight.
Li Yunyang let out a roar, and the light around him became even stronger, his life force burning fiercely. The Azure Light Sword emitted a dazzling red glow as he was about to charge forward. But at that moment, a hand gently pressed on his shoulder from behind, instantly suppressing his powerful aura and extinguishing the raging flames of his life force.
Behind him, Tian Fan sighed softly, smiled at Li Yunyang, and said in a gentle voice, âSenior Brother Li, is this really necessary?â
âYou⌠Xiao Fan, you⌠youâŚâ
Li Yunyangâs mouth fell open in shock. He stared at Tian Fan as if seeing a ghost. He had just been burning his life force, reaching the peak of the mid-stage Condensation Realm, yet Tian Fan had effortlessly suppressed that power. What kind of strength did he possess?
The Yin-Yang Young Master and Li Ming were equally stunned. The Yin-Yang Young Masterâs face darkened, and he said, âIâve misjudged. So, heâs a hidden expert!â
âXiao Fan⌠you?â
Sun Yueying and the old zombie also paused their fight, looking over. Sun Yueyingâs mouth hung open in disbelief.
Tian Fan smiled at her, then turned to the still-surprised Li Yunyang, laughing as he said, âThe dashing, suave, and charming Yunyang, beloved by all, could you take a moment to rest and let your junior borrow your sword?â
âUh⌠well, heheâŚâ
Li Yunyang was still full of astonishment, but Tian Fanâs words made him pause. Wasnât this exactly what he had said before? Embarrassed, he chuckled. Tian Fan stepped forward, took the Azure Light Sword from Li Yunyangâs hand, and walked slowly toward the front.
âI donât want to kill anyone. Disappear from my sight immediatelyâŚâ
His calm words carried an undeniable aura of dominance. He held the sword in his right hand, its tip dragging on the ground, leaving a long sword mark as he walked step by step toward the old zombie.
