Chapter 167: Escape? (1/3)

Chen Daoxuan no longer paid attention to the Yin Corpse Sect cultivators. With a sweep of his robe, he carried Li Yourong and the others, along with the nearly lifeless Li Shenruo and Chi Yun, and disappeared from the deck.

Leng Yanran arched her hand slightly towards the spot where her master disappeared, her expression as cold as frost. Then, she turned her gaze towards the six expertsfour in the Void Refining Realm and two in the Fusion Realm. However, her focus wasn't on how to defeat them but on keeping them here as quickly as possible!

Any one of them getting away would mean she had failed the task her master assigned her!

"Miss, that person has probably forgiven us, right? If so, let's talk about compensation. As long as you speak, we will offer double the compensation to you. What do you think?"

The Second Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect, seeing that the terrifying presence had left with others, leaving only a woman in the Annihilation Realm's Sixth Heaven, assumed she would handle the matter. He could already tell that the matter at hand would involve negotiating compensation.

Even though the woman before them was only in the Annihilation Realm, the Second Elder and the others still wore obsequious smiles, not daring to show the slightest disrespect. After all, that formidable existence possessed fearsome abilities; he could appear and disappear with a wave of his hand. Should they dare to resist, they would likely face instant death.

As a Fusion Realm cultivator, the Second Elder acknowledged that he had no confidence in escaping from here back to the Central Region without being pursued and killed halfway by that dreadful figure.

"Double compensation? But I'm afraid you may not be able to afford it."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yanran raised an eyebrow. To offer double compensation, one would need to possess two lives. Disinterested in wasting words, she was infuriated by how they had made her junior sister, Yourong, so sad. Her junior sister, who even the Master and herself wouldn't dare to bullyhow could outsiders have the chance?

However, she wasn't concerned about Li Shenruo and Chi Yun. To this day, she still remembered the terrifying abilities of her master. Even dead, they could be resurrected; and if severely injured, even more so.

Without further ado, she clenched her right hand in the air, and a surge of sinister energy gathered, manifesting into the God Slaying Spear.

"Miss, please make any request you have. If you feel dissatisfied, I am willing to stand here and take three strikes from you, Miss. This way, you can vent your frustration. What do you think?"

The Second Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect, noticing the displeasure on her face and her retrieval of a spiritual treasure, was undaunted by the sight. Instead, he was prepared to take three strikes from her, thinking she would feel satisfied afterward. After all, she was just a junior in the Annihilation Realm. Even if she was in the Void Refining Realm, taking three strikes shouldn't pose any problems.

In this way, after withstanding three strikes, this woman should understand the gap in strength. Then, we can sit down and discuss compensation calmly. Who knows, we might even be able to reduce the compensation a bit! The other Yin Corpse Sect members on the side nodded along with the Second Elder's words, not sensing any issues.

"Tsk"

Hearing the opponent's confident words, Leng Yanran couldn't help but make a clicking sound of her tongue. She wasn't going to be polite with the Second Elder. If she could save some effort, why not? Without using the Heavenly Demon Transformation, she instantly vanished, leaving only afterimages behind. When she arrived before the Second Elder, Leng Yanran thrust her spear without any expression. Wherever the tip of the spear passed, even space was slashed open, revealing a thin void crack.

"Hmm!?"

The initially calm Second Elder finally realized something was amiss after witnessing the tearing of space. Since when could an Annihilation Realm slash through space? Even he would need to exert his full strength to sever space, and he was a Fusion Realm cultivator. Could this Annihilation Realm be so outrageous?

He hadn't even used his mana to form a barrier, just a faint layer on the surface of his body. However, seeing this abnormal attack, he quickly concentrated his spiritual energy on his body, forming a resilient protective layer. Even if a Void Refining Realm pinnacle expert struck him with their full power, it wouldn't even scratch him!

"Splurt!"

With a soft sound, everyone present except Leng Yanran was left dumbfounded. Under her attack, the Second Elder was pierced through the heart. The protective mana barrier that could withstand a Void Refining Realm's full-power strike was as good as non-existent, instantly corroded by the sinister energy and penetrated.

The Second Elder himself gazed at his chest, his eyes somewhat vacant. Could it be that the Annihilation Realm had reached such an absurd level? His body was much stronger than the ordinary Fusion Realm experts, having undergone countless temperings. But despite all that, he had still been pierced through by a single spear thrust.

Leng Yanran paid no mind to what others were thinking. Her actions didn't pause for a moment. After extracting her God Slaying Spear, she immediately attacked the other Fusion Realm cultivator nearest to the Second Elder.

Dealing with these two Fusion Realm experts first would save her much energy, as dealing with Void Refining Realm cultivators wouldn't require much effort.

"Go!"

Sensing the threat, the Fusion Realm expert also reacted rapidly, immediately summoning his Heaven-Grade high-tier spiritual treasure shaped like a hook. He planned to directly clash with Leng Yanran head-on. He believed that the Second Elder was pierced through the heart due to underestimating the situation.

However, in the blink of an eye, his expression changed drastically. Leng Yanran lightly flicked her spear, sending the man's spiritual treasure flying away at a tricky angle. Then, with another thrust, similar to the previous one, she cleaved through space.

The man attempted to evade by using his body movement technique to create distance, but before he could even react

"Heavenly Demon Finger."

Leng Yanran's right hand thrust her spear, but this time, she didn't employ the Heavenly Demon Finger with her left hand. Instead, she directly infused the Heavenly Demon Finger's power into her God Slaying Spear, releasing it alongside the spear thrust.

To call it the Heavenly Demon Spear wouldn't be an exaggeration. The reason she could do this was because of the third part of the Chaos Heavenly Demon ScriptureThe Art of Spear.

As expected, with the combination of her Heavenly Demon Finger and the God Slaying Spear, the Fusion Realm expert froze in place. In his eyes, Leng Yanran was no longer just wielding a spear; she appeared as an ancient Heavenly Demon, staring at him with crimson eyes, her fanged, bloodthirsty mouth seemingly ready to devour him.

This ancient Heavenly Demon gradually extended its claw towards him, a long, metallic-clad talon exuding a radiant metallic gleam, aimed at his heart.

He wanted to resist, but he couldn't. He even wanted to scream in terror, but no sound came out. His throat felt as if it was being gripped by that ancient Heavenly Demon.

With the God Slaying Spear piercing through his heart, the terrifying illusion finally dissipated. As he lowered his head, he realized he was just like the Second Elderpierced through the heart.

"Escape!"

Witnessing two Fusion Realm sect experts being killed at a glance, the remaining four Void Refining Realm cultivators were suddenly flustered. Without any hesitation, they transformed into streaks of light, fleeing in four different directions!

"Escape? Tsk, can you escape?"
