Chapter 82

（Thank you, book friend mrsliunian, for your generous encouragement）

A soft tearing sound echoed as the "Heavenly Fire Meteor" scroll suddenly flashed with a fiery red light, and a wondrous aura instantly spread out.

Jiang Han took a deep breath, stirred his true essence, and fiercely threw the scroll towards the group from the Black Slaughter Sect.

Everyone's gaze followed the trajectory of the flying scroll, especially the members of the Black Slaughter Sect, who didn't dare to blink, all nervously staring at the scroll.

Jiang Han's cultivation level was only that of a martial apprentice, which they could sense. Although they didn't believe he could harm them, seeing his determined expression, they began to feel uneasy.

"It's just a piece of paper, what power could it have..." they reassured themselves.

No one wanted to die!

However, they knew that with Elder Yun by their side, they had no hope of escaping!

The words "Martial Venerable" weighed heavily on their hearts like a mountain, making it hard for them to breathe.

They believed that if Elder Yun wanted to, he could turn them into ashes with just a thought!

The fate of the previous few people served as a warning.

"Poof!"

A soft sound, and the scroll exploded above their heads under the watchful eyes of the Black Slaughter Sect members, slowly dissipating into nothingness.

Silence!

The "Heavenly Fire Meteor" scroll exploded right before everyone's eyes, but strangely, there was no change in the surroundings.

"Is that it? It's over?" Yan Yumo frowned, turning to look at Jiang Han, who appeared calm, as if he had expected this.

Could there be more to come? Yan Yumo wondered.

Not just him, but others were also puzzled.

Given Jiang Han's determined expression, even if the thing had little power, there should have been some effect, not such a calm and quiet outcome.

Elder Yun had been focused on the entire process. Seeing the scroll explode and the silence that followed, he was initially stunned, then suddenly looked up, his pupils constricting.

He could feel a scorching energy in the sky rapidly converging, almost instantly forming an energy vortex that churned in the air.

"This... is equivalent to the full force of a peak Martial King!" Elder Yun's gaze became slightly serious.

Although this level of energy was nothing to Elder Yun, who could extinguish it with a wave of his hand, what surprised him was the way the energy converged, as if a powerful martial technique was being unleashed by someone.

Sealing a martial technique in a peculiar way on a piece of animal skin, and releasing it completely by tearing the skin—what kind of skill was this?

At the very least, Elder Yun couldn't do it!

While he could seal powerful energy in an object, that object needed to be made of extremely good materials, and it would only contain ordinary energy, not a martial technique like the one Jiang Han had just released.

Moreover, throughout the history of the continent, apart from the "Immortal Talismans" used by the Immortals, there were no other similar things!

However, Elder Yun was extremely certain that the energy's fluctuations were completely different from those of the Immortals, and it was definitely not an Immortal.

"Could it be that some unknown powerful being from another realm has descended upon the Heavenly Martial Continent?" Elder Yun was surprised, but quickly shook his head in denial.

To enter the continent from another realm, one would need to break through a barrier. Any movement in that barrier would be instantly detected by the powerful figures on the Heavenly Martial Continent!

"Who could it be?" This feeling of having no clue had been absent from Elder Yun for a long time.

"Indeed, it was just a bluff."

One of the Black Slaughter Sect members let out a sigh of relief, muttering to himself. He casually glanced up at the sky and was immediately stunned, his eyes widening in terror.

"Th... Th... Th..." He raised his arm, trembling, pointing at the sky.

"What sky?!" The person next to him, impatient, spoke up, thinking this fool was about to die and still had the nerve to look at the sky.

But he still glanced up, "And there's nothing in the sky..." Suddenly, his voice faltered, his expression turning blank, then he looked up in a daze.

Suddenly.

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from his mouth, "No!!!"

At that moment, everything around was quiet, and everyone was startled by his scream, their gazes following his to the sky...

Boom!

Like a thunderclap in their minds, the members of the Black Slaughter Sect were all stunned.

Above the sky, it was now a fiery red, with massive, blood-red fireballs floating and coalescing, like the sun exploding, the clouds stained with blood.

This scene was like the end of the world!

Yan Yumo, Ye Ruhong, and the others also looked up at the sky, their eyes wide with shock.

Although they were far away, the terrifying aura still emanated from above, and they could clearly feel its immense power!

This... was the power contained in that thin piece of paper?

They were amazed.

When they looked at Jiang Han again, his figure seemed to grow incredibly tall... even though they knew he couldn't have done this.

But since he had it, it was part of his strength!

Jiang Han's expression was calm, his hands behind his back, and he looked up at the sky with a composed gaze.

This scene added a unique charm in the eyes of Yan Yumo and the others.

"Brother Jiang, you truly live up to your name!" Ye Tianming's eyes sparkled, "That piece of paper is great, I should get a few when I have the chance..."

"Very impressive," Jing Tian nodded seriously.

"Brother Jiang... is so strong..." The last youth to pass the test, Bai Feng, said, his face still young and green, looking at Jiang Han with wide, admiring eyes. He was only about 15 years old.

Of course... Jiang Han was actually putting on a show. In fact, he was also shocked by the scroll's power, almost screaming out loud, but he forced himself to remain calm, maintaining a mysterious demeanor.

"Brat, you're putting on a show again..." Elder Yun glanced at Jiang Han, slightly pursing his lips.

"Spare us, spare us, I don't want to die!"

The members of the Black Slaughter Sect finally reacted, screaming wildly, some with tears and snot streaming down their faces.

The massive energy in the sky was terrifying, making their hearts and livers tremble, almost driving them to the brink of collapse.

"Please, please spare us..."

Begging for mercy never ceased.

They wanted to run, but found themselves unable to move, as if a powerful force was binding them to the spot, making them even more terrified.

Elder Yun's expression was indifferent. At his level of cultivation, few things could shake his inner peace. Killing a thousand people was just a number to him.

Jiang Han's expression also became calm. With the improvement in his mental state and understanding that the Black Slaughter Sect had a notorious reputation, he had no psychological burden in killing them.

Finally, the buildup in the sky ended. In an instant, all the fireballs rained down on the Black Slaughter Sect members, leaving trails of flames in the sky, like beautiful meteors.

"Beautiful..."

Yan Yumo murmured.

Yes! It was really beautiful.

The Heavenly Fire Meteors, like real meteors, fell with a momentary brilliance, a fleeting eternity.

But hidden within the beauty was death.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed, mingled with the Black Slaughter Sect members' piercing screams and pleas for mercy.

The Heavenly Fire Meteors... a momentary brilliance, a fleeting eternity.

Life quietly faded away.
