Chapter 61

"Such a powerful soul fluctuation." As Xiao Yun's soul power surged out, Qiu Yuchen's eyelids twitched. "This kid actually has such soul power. A person like this is one in ten thousand in our Tianyuan Sect, truly a genius."

Although he was surprised, Qiu Yuchen did not panic.

"Hmph, you think you can kill me with this? You're still too young." Qiu Yuchen sneered, seemingly well-versed in soul power.

Before his words had even finished, he moved his palm, and a powerful essence energy swept out, forming a shield in front of him to block the soul power. The shield-like light screen only trembled slightly.

"Blocked?" Xiao Yun frowned.

"Ha ha, let's see what else you can do. If you have nothing left, then die." Qiu Yuchen grinned, "The feeling of stifling a genius, I haven't experienced it in a long time. A person like you is rare in our Tianyuan Sect!"

"Go all out!" Xiao Yun's brows furrowed tightly, now aware of his disadvantage.

Although his soul power was strong, the perception of a True Essence Realm cultivator was also extremely terrifying. Once they sensed danger, they would immediately detect it. Moreover, their control over essence energy was already proficient, making it easy for them to counter soul attacks.

To win by surprise was too difficult.

However, Xiao Yun did not become disheartened. His eyes darkened, and he fully mobilized the soul power within his body, sensing the Swallowing Heaven Tower. He wanted to touch the inscriptions on the tower wall, which he felt were very important to him.

Perhaps once he touched them, the situation would change.

Xiao Yun's soul power touched the first level of the Swallowing Heaven Tower and was immediately shaken by the powerful restriction, causing his mind to tremble.

Under the impact, his body could not help but tremble.

"No, I must break this seal." Xiao Yun clenched his teeth, gathering all his soul power to strike the restriction. For some reason, he always felt that the restriction was extraordinary, and perhaps breaking it would allow him to further control the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

Boom!

Suddenly, the restriction trembled and was struck open by Xiao Yun's soul power.

The inscriptions inside began to move, as if coming to life. One by one, the runes merged into his mind, and he felt a deeper connection with the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

With his powerful soul, Xiao Yun almost instantly understood the information.

"God-Slaying Spear?" Several important words appeared, making Xiao Yun's heart leap with joy.

"So, this Swallowing Heaven Tower has a divine weapon inscribed on it." With a thought, Xiao Yun immediately channeled all his soul power into the first level of the tower wall. There, a black spear could be faintly seen, shimmering with strange runes.

It was a marvelously constructed by runes.

"Hehe, since you have no more power, die." At this moment, Qiu Yuchen grinned and walked over step by step.

"Lord Qiu, stop!" At this time, City Lord Yan rushed over, bursting with a powerful aura.

"This old man." Qiu Yuchen's brows furrowed, feeling a sense of dread from City Lord Yan's aura.

"Too late to save him." Qiu Yuchen did not hesitate, moving his palm to form a vast palm, striking the lying youth. If he killed this boy, everything would be settled, and even City Lord Yan would be helpless.

After all, he was a disciple of the Tianyuan Sect. Who would risk a conflict with the Tianyuan Sect over a dead person?

"You..." Seeing Qiu Yuchen mercilessly strike, City Lord Yan's brows furrowed tightly. He had just arrived at the final stage, and it was too late to stop him. His heart sank, feeling a deep sense of loss.

This was a gifted youth, and his death was too tragic.

"Xiao Yun!"

"Brother Xiao Yun!"

"Yun'er!"

Seeing the descending giant hand, cries of alarm rang out. Yan Shifei and others were filled with sorrow, tears welling in their eyes.

Grandpa Xiao was enraged, almost going mad.

"Your grandson will die too." Grandpa Fang sneered.

"What a pity!" Many sighed.

Everyone knew the youth was already injured and lying on the ground. How could he resist Qiu Yuchen's fatal strike?

"Ha ha, Xiao Yun is dead for sure." Fang Wei and others sneered.

"With Xiao Yun dead, what future does the Xiao family have? Everyone, follow me to destroy the Xiao family." Grandpa Fang called out, wanting the elders of other clans to help him eliminate Xiao Hai and others, thus solidifying the situation by killing Xiao Yuanshan.

At this moment, Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly opened, a sharp light flashing.

Seeing the youth's eyes flash, Qiu Yuchen's heart trembled.

"Die!" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, shouting, "God-Slaying Spear, kill!"

Buzz!

Suddenly, a light pattern flashed at his brow, forming a vortex, like a deep passage opening a gate to hell. A chilling aura spread out, causing his soul to tremble.

"What is this?" Qiu Yuchen was full of fear, feeling uneasy.

Before Qiu Yuchen could react, a black spear suddenly shot out from the vortex at the youth's brow.

It was a short spear about a foot long, emitting dark light with runes flashing, radiating a terrifying aura. It seemed to be a God-Slaying Spear, its momentum making people's hearts race. The runes contained the essence of the Dao, a supreme killing technique.

At the same time, Qiu Yuchen's giant palm was also pressing down on Xiao Yun.

Bang!

The short spear, like a star arrow, pierced through the giant palm formed by essence energy, directly aiming for Qiu Yuchen's brow. The terrifying aura made the young man's mind tremble.

Qiu Yuchen's pupils suddenly contracted, seeing the black spear pierce through the void, aiming straight for his brow.

In the next moment, dark light flashed, and under the powerful aura, Qiu Yuchen lost consciousness.

Buzz!

The light pattern flashed, and the God-Slaying Spear entered Qiu Yuchen's mind.

Ah!

After the God-Slaying Spear entered his mind, Qiu Yuchen's soul trembled, emitting a piercing scream.

The scream was filled with fear and abruptly stopped.

Then, the light flashed, and the God-Slaying Spear turned into a dark light, entering Xiao Yun's mind and attaching to the Swallowing Heaven Tower wall. At this point, Qiu Yuchen's aura was completely gone, and his body fell to the ground with a thud.

With Qiu Yuchen's death, the violent essence energy fluctuations on the final stage gradually dissipated.

"Finally succeeded!" Looking at the lifeless Qiu Yuchen, Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he narrowed his eyes, lying weakly on the ground, silently beginning to meditate to recover his soul power.

Just now, he had broken the seal on the Swallowing Heaven Tower and obtained the method to activate the God-Slaying Spear, but he had also exhausted all his soul power, leaving him almost drained and his spirit somewhat weakened.

This was because activating the God-Slaying Spear required a vast amount of soul power, which was beyond his current capacity.

However, solving this major enemy was enough.

As Qiu Yuchen fell, the cultivators on the square were stunned.

"What happened?" Countless people stared wide-eyed at the final stage, muttering to themselves.

Just now, it was clearly Qiu Yuchen who launched the fatal strike, so why did he fall?

It seemed he was dead!

"Is Qiu Yuchen dead?" City Lord Yan had already landed on the final stage. His eyes narrowed, showing surprise. He had clearly felt Qiu Yuchen's killing intent, and such an attack was not something a先天境 cultivator could resist.

But now, he carefully sensed, and Qiu Yuchen was indeed dead.

On the final stage, two people lay on the ground. Qiu Yuchen was dead, but the other youth was breathing faintly, clearly still alive. This scene was completely beyond everyone's imagination, and the elders of the various clans were dumbfounded.

The entire square was almost silent, everyone staring at the final stage in disbelief.

"Xiao Yun, are you okay?" City Lord Yan walked towards the youth, seeing his chest still rising and falling, and asked.

"Not dead yet." At this moment, Xiao Yun had temporarily caught his breath and struggled to stand up.

This time, he had expended too much soul power, but his body was not injured, so he was not seriously harmed.

"Good, good." City Lord Yan stared at the youth, feeling extremely excited but only managing to say these few words. He was at a loss for words, as a先天境 youth had killed a True Essence Realm cultivator, which was too shocking. His emotions were beyond words, and he could only say these few short words.

"Thank you, City Lord, for your timely intervention." After standing up, Xiao Yun looked around and bowed to City Lord Yan.

"I was too late." City Lord Yan waved his hand, indicating he did not deserve the thanks.

"Qiu Yuchen is from the Tianyuan Sect, so Uncle Yan had some reservations at first. I hope you don't take it to heart." City Lord Yan smiled.

"I understand." Xiao Yun smiled faintly.

He naturally understood the key points.

"What happened? Am I seeing things?" Seeing Xiao Yun stand up as if nothing had happened and calmly talking to City Lord Yan, the entire square erupted in excitement. Many rubbed their eyes, feeling it was too surreal, like a dream.

"Is Xiao Yun even human?"

"Qiu Yuchen met his end at his hands. Such a youth is truly heaven-defying!"

"Once Xiao Yun grows up, he will surely cause a great stir, far beyond the reach of ordinary people." The discussions in the square were like a flood, and the cultivators of the major clans felt their hearts almost leap out of their chests.

A先天境 youth killing a True Essence Realm cultivator, what did this mean?

It was not hard to imagine how terrifying this youth would be once he reached the True Essence Realm.

"Thank goodness I didn't act just now!" Some clan elders felt a sense of fear. If they had acted, they would have made a mortal enemy of the Xiao family, and they would not be able to escape the youth's revenge in the future. The consequences would be unimaginably terrifying.

"Ha ha, old ghost of the Fang family, my grandson is blessed and destined for greatness. How can your Fang family destroy him?" Seeing his grandson was alive, Grandpa Xiao laughed heartily, his heart finally at ease. "Come and die!"

Dragon and Snake Transformation!

Grandpa Xiao's fighting spirit grew, his blood boiling. He moved his hands, and an intention seemed to merge with the heavens and earth.

Roar!

A roar echoed, and it seemed as if a dragon and a snake appeared beside Grandpa Xiao.
