Chapter 76

"Such a powerful aura!" A terrifying wave of energy swept out, causing nearby people to feel their souls tremble, their consciousness gradually blur, and they found it hard to see clearly, feeling an inexplicable fear, all of them letting out cries of shock.

Just as everyone was shouting in surprise, a loud noise suddenly rang out.

Bang!

The God-Slaying Spear pierced through the void, directly heading towards the Wolf Tooth Mace. The originally mighty mace, which seemed capable of sweeping all directions, suddenly shattered under the God-Slaying Spear, almost crumbling at the slightest touch, like a divine weapon encountering rotten wood, requiring no effort at all.

The loud noise echoed, and Qi Ming's eyes became呆滞, staring intently at the front. He wanted to shout in shock but couldn't open his mouth.

Because the God-Slaying Spear possessed such a powerful震慑力, making his soul tremble.

Whoosh!

The God-Slaying Spear flickered with light, striking down Qi Ming's soul, and the powerful energy wave spread out, shattering his body.

Now that Xiao Yun had reached the first level of the God-Slaying Technique, the God-Slaying Spear he wielded was even more powerful than when he dealt with Qiu Yuchen. At this moment, he felt a wave of exhaustion, almost collapsing.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun's soul power had strengthened compared to the last time, so he was not seriously injured.

Phew!

With a thought, the God-Slaying Spear returned to his sea of consciousness, then disappeared into the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

At this moment, the light faded, and Xiao Yun stood in the canyon, standing out prominently.

Silence!

The entire canyon was unusually quiet. The originally deafening battle cries and rampant killing intent were instantly replaced by a bone-chilling cold. Everyone stared at the young man, feeling a chill run down their spines.

A True Essence Realm powerhouse had fallen so inexplicably, making it hard to accept.

Upon closer inspection, the young man was only sixteen years old. How could he have such strength?

Everyone's eyes were呆滞, all of them involuntarily drawing a cold breath, looking at the young man with awe.

"This young man is too strong. Is he even human? He's practically a divine being!" The cultivators from the Tie and Qi families muttered.

Almost no one had seen how Xiao Yun had made his move, as the powerful soul wave had made everyone's minds hazy.

This made the young man even more mysterious.

"Second Brother!" Not far away, Qi Zhong's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a roar of anger, holding an iron fork and rushing over to kill.

"Haha, Qi Zhong, today your brothers will both meet their end here. Come on, men of the Tie family, kill! Annihilate the Qi family!" Tie Er Ye was full of excitement, never expecting this unfamiliar young man to be so powerful.

With a loud laugh, Tie Er Ye wielded a large saber and swung it at Qi Zhong.

The saber's light was shocking, like a rainbow piercing the heavens, with a fierce momentum.

Earlier, the two of them had been evenly matched, but now that Qi Ming had fallen, the situation had turned in their favor. Tie Er Ye's fighting spirit was fierce, and dealing with Qi Zhong, who was slightly lower in realm, was effortless. The momentum of the saber alone was intimidating.

"Hmph, you won't stop me!" Qi Zhong coldly snorted, his palm flipping to throw an iron ball.

Bang!

The iron ball was crushed by the violent essence energy, immediately releasing a thick poisonous gas.

Tie Er Ye frowned, his body trembling to disperse the poison mist, and he swung his saber back, still aiming at Qi Zhong.

"Looking for death!" Qi Zhong's eyes darkened, holding the iron fork and charging forward.

Clang!

A crisp sound echoed as the iron fork and the large saber clashed, sparks flying. Tie Er Ye's body retreated slightly, he took a deep breath, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he had inhaled some poison, but he quickly suppressed it.

Thud, thud!

Qi Zhong's body retreated two meters, a mouthful of blood spilling out.

"Old man, now that you are poisoned, I'll see how you can fight me." Qi Zhong's eyes flickered, looking at Tie Er Ye with a sinister expression. "Once the poison enters your body, as soon as you use your True Essence, it will invade your entire body, making you lose your fighting ability."

Tie Er Ye circulated his essence energy and indeed felt a powerful poison spreading through his body. This made his brows furrow, his face darkening, as he had lost his fighting ability.

"What? Second Elder is poisoned?" The people of the Tie family were all in a panic.

If Second Elder was poisoned, who could stand against Qi Zhong?

This person had the cultivation of the late True Essence stage!

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to the young man in the center of the battlefield.

"Can he turn the tide?" Everyone muttered.

Xiao Yun had killed Qi Ming, which was surprising, but now Qi Zhong was at the late True Essence stage, and the gap in strength was too great. Killing him would not be easy, after all, Xiao Yun was only a sixteen-year-old youth.

But now, the Tie family could not think of anyone else who could help them out of this predicament.

"Killing my second brother, you will pay with your life." Sensing the hope in everyone's eyes, Qi Zhong's face was twisted, and he immediately held the iron fork and walked towards Xiao Yun. His steady steps were like a hammer striking the heart, making people feel fear.

Thud, thud!

As Qi Zhong approached, a powerful aura pressed down, and the air around him seemed to solidify.

A killing intent spread out.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was meditating to recover his soul power. Feeling the sudden terrifying aura, his brows furrowed slightly.

The late True Essence stage was too strong; just the aura made him feel his breath catch.

"This is a formidable opponent!" Xiao Yun's face was serious, and he quickly tried to use his soul power to activate the God-Slaying Spear on the Swallowing Heaven Tower. Unfortunately, his soul power was not enough to activate this spiritual weapon, and using it to defend against the enemy was not so simple.

"Don't be afraid, isn't there still Lord Tian?" Just as Xiao Yun was worried, the voice of the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow suddenly came.

"You?" Xiao Yun was taken aback. "Can you deal with a late True Essence stage cultivator?"

"I may not be able to deal with a True Essence stage cultivator, but I can help you activate the God-Slaying Spear." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow said.

"Oh." Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. "How can you help?"

"Can't we combine our soul powers to activate the God-Slaying Spear?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow said.

"Combine soul powers?" Xiao Yun asked. "Isn't that too difficult?"

"Lord Tian has a technique that can combine soul powers." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow simply said.

It quickly told Xiao Yun the technique.

"Is that so." Xiao Yun nodded slightly after listening, understanding the technique.

This technique was similar to connecting the mind, using a soul imprint as a bridge to merge the soul powers of two people.

However, this technique was very dangerous to activate. If one of the people had ill intentions, it could result in unimaginable harm.

This required absolute trust.

"What, don't you trust Lord Tian?" Seeing Xiao Yun hesitate, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Since you dare to try, why should I be afraid?" Xiao Yun did not hesitate and immediately used his soul power to form a soul imprint with the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow.

At this moment, Qi Zhong was already close.

"Boy, you killed my brother, now give me your life." Qi Zhong stopped about ten feet away from Xiao Yun, his eyes dark, his True Essence energy surging like a hurricane. He held the long fork and thrust it towards the young man in front of him.

Buzz!

The iron fork glowed, bringing a wave of wind, the cold light of the fork blade piercing through the void, emitting a light that made the heart tremble.

This attack was like a thunderbolt piercing through the void, incredibly fast.

"Bad, Xiao Yun, quickly dodge." In the distance, Tie Feng's eyes darkened, seeing that the young man's eyes were closed, meditating, which made him extremely anxious. He shouted a warning, knowing that such a fierce attack could not be avoided if not dodged in time.

"Be careful!" Miss Tie San was also worried, her face pale with fear.

"Stop!" In the distance, Tie Er Ye, suppressing the poison in his body, took large steps and charged over, wielding a large saber.

"Overestimating yourself." Seeing Tie Er Ye charge over, Qi Zhong coldly smiled, and with a backhand, a large essence energy hand struck out, shattering the saber's light. A powerful essence energy wave spread out, pushing Tie Er Ye back two meters.

Ah!

A mouthful of blood, with a trace of black, spewed from Tie Er Ye's mouth.

After being poisoned, Tie Er Ye's fighting ability sharply declined, and he was no longer capable of fighting.

At this moment, Qi Zhong grinned, and the long fork was already thrusting towards the young man in front of him.

Whoosh!

The long fork glowed coldly, carrying a fierce aura, aiming directly at Xiao Yun. The aura made the void ripple, but the young man remained unmoved, making the cultivators in the distance hold their breath in anxiety.

"What is he doing?" The Tie family members were shocked. They had hoped this young man could turn the tide, but now it seemed he would lose his life. How could he turn the tide? This made many people feel extremely hopeless.

"Doesn't he know the danger?" Miss Tie San's hands were tightly clenched, her brows furrowed, extremely worried.

At this moment, the young man's eyes suddenly opened, and a powerful soul wave swept out from his sea of consciousness.

The powerful soul power was like a hurricane, making the void in front of him ripple.

Buzz!

The aura from the iron fork actually dissipated.

Then, Qi Zhong's eyes darkened, his mind buzzing as if a powerful storm was raging in his head, making his soul almost collapse. This sudden change made his body pause, and at this moment, a vortex appeared on Xiao Yun's forehead.

God-Slaying Spear!

A short spear appeared, bringing a cold light, piercing through the void, and directly stabbing into Qi Zhong's head.

Qi Zhong's mind trembled, as if struck by lightning, his soul collapsing.

With the collapse of his soul, his aura dissipated, and he wilted like a deflated balloon.

Clang!

Without the support of essence energy, the iron fork fell to the ground.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, drawing the God-Slaying Spear into his body.

At this moment, he was truly exhausted, his entire body drained of energy, his eyes slightly dim.

With Qi Zhong's fall, the air in the canyon seemed to solidify.

The cultivators of the Qi family looked at each other, staring at the man lying on the ground, his aura gone, all of them with looks of disbelief. A late True Essence stage cultivator had fallen right before their eyes. Was this real?

Many people shook their heads, unable to accept this fact.

After all, just a moment ago, the young man had his eyes closed, showing no signs of making a move.

"How did he kill Grandfather Qi?" The people of the Qi family were all stunned.
