Chapter 34: Luo Wu's Demise! Fairy Leng, Spare My Life
Luo Wu played his cards well in his mind.
He intended to use the fearsome power of the Sky Monument within the jade pendant to break through the barrier.
If his assumptions held true, the collision between the Sky Monument and the barrier could genuinely grant him a chance of survival. After all, the Ninth Heaven power of the Sky Monument was potent enough to either shatter the barrier or create an opening within it!
Even other cultivators watching this scene couldn't help but entertain a glimmer of hope.
In their eyes, Leng Yanran seemed like a heartless witch, ready to kill without batting an eye. All they wanted now was to flee this barrier, to get as far away from this witch as possible.
Who knew if, after dealing with Luo Wu, she might turn her attention to them, the scattered cultivators?
Unfortunately, Luo Wu's strategy didn't pan out.
A hint of derision flickered in Leng Yanran's indifferent eyes.
She was no fool; how could she not see through Luo Wu's plan?
The power contained within that jade pendant wasn't the Sky Monument technique, but the Demon Finger technique!
With a crisp crack, the jade pendant shattered, releasing the stored power.
"It's happening!
"No, wait!
"This isn't the same technique as before!"
Luo Wu immediately heightened his alertness, preparing to evade. However, as the jade pendant shattered, panic set in.
The fragments revealed a substantial, primordial, and chaotic demon that resembled an ancient devil deity. It exuded a dense aura of malevolence, its eyes crimson and fixated on Luo Wu.
Just locking eyes with the demon caused Luo Wu to visualize mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He completely lost control over his body, trembling incessantly.
He helplessly watched as the demon extended a finger from its forehead toward him. With a soft sound, the demon's fingertip connected with Luo Wu's forehead.
In an instant, Luo Wu's trembling ceased. He remained frozen in place, eyes locked in an expression of sheer terror from his final moments. After a single touch, the demon dissipated like dissipating malevolence, as if it had never existed.
But the hole in Luo Wu's forehead served as a reminder to everyone that the terrifying entity just now was far from an illusion!
Deprived of external support, Luo Wu's lifeless body plummeted straight down from hundreds of meters in the air, crashing onto the ground below. Without the infusion of spiritual energy, his body lay there, no longer resembling that of a human.
Just now, that single finger not only severed his life force, but even his divine consciousness was instantly obliterated. Even those who possessed life-preserving techniques for their soul would meet their doom if faced with the Demon Finger. Their fate would be nothing but death.
"Indeed a disgusting creature," Leng Yanran murmured, her brows furrowing as she gazed at the humanoid flesh on the ground.
With a casual wave of her hand, a surge of spiritual energy swept through, reducing it to a pool of blood. A passing gust of wind carried it away. The last trace of Luo Wu in this world vanished, leaving only a spatial ring behind.
She then gently extended her hand, beckoning the spatial ring into her possession.
After dealing with Luo Wu, Leng Yanran propped her chin up, lost in thought. She had used less than half of the items given by her Master, and the Luo Heaven Sect was now thoroughly annihilated.
Should she bring back the remaining items, or should she make full use of them and eliminate the remaining cultivators within the barrier?
For a moment, Leng Yanran felt conflicted.
Her Master's command was clear: eradicate every trace of the Luo Heaven Sect.
If she were to slaughter these onlookers, who might not necessarily be involved, would it lead to unnecessary bloodshed and displease her Master?
Meanwhile, within the barrier, the remaining scattered cultivators watched Leng Yanran in silence, afraid to make a single sound. If they knew she was contemplating wiping them all out, they probably wouldn't be as composed.
"Right, it seems that a cultivator in the Annihilation Realm managed to escape from the Luo Heaven Sect. I should take care of him as well! As he was associated with the Luo Heaven Sect, it should be safe to treat him as part of it!"
Suddenly, Leng Yanran remembered the severely wounded expert from the Annihilation Realm who had escaped earlier. She turned and flew in the direction she remembered.
Passing by several peaks on her way, cultivators on top of those peaks bowed in reverence as Leng Yanran passed by.
"Fairy Leng is mighty!"
"Luo Heaven Sect brought their doom upon themselves by offending Fairy Leng!"
"We implore Fairy Leng to spare us. We have no affiliation with the Luo Heaven Sect!"
Many cultivators couldn't help but plead and flatter Leng Yanran.
Unfazed, she paid no attention to their words and continued her search for the expert from the Annihilation Realm.
Observing her actions, many cultivators deduced her intentions. However, for a Profound Sky Realm cultivator to hunt down Annihilation Realm cultivator was a rarity that opened their eyes.
None doubted Leng Yanran's capability to take down an Annihilation Realm expert. The recent example of Luo Wu was testament to that fact.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Yang Chun cowered within a cave on a mountainside, secretly observing Leng Yanran's search. He was petrified!
A cultivator in the Profound Sky Realm was usually someone he could swat away with ease, yet today he was so terrified that he didn't dare to show himself.
"Damn you, Luo Wu, what kind of monster have you stirred? Damn it, I've had enough bad luck for eight generations. Luo Wu, you old scoundrel, you deserve to... censored!"
Sect Master Yang Chun clenched his teeth, trembling in the cave. He even cursed Luo Wu and the Luo Heaven Sect countless times in his heart!
He had thought that Leng Yanran's master was just an Annihilation Realm Triple Heaven expert. But now, observing Leng Yanran, a Profound Sky Realm cultivator, hunting down an Annihilation Realm expert, he realized he had been sorely mistaken.
The sight of Leng Yanran at the Profound Sky Realm flattening Luo Heaven Sect and even chasing and killing Annihilation Realm was self evident.
Just as Sect Master Yang Chun felt like tearing Luo Wu from the afterlife and killing him a thousand times over, he suddenly sensed a gaze.
"Found you."
Leng Yanran's expression remained composed as she looked toward a cave. A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
However, in Sect Master Yang Chun's eyes, that faint smile was more terrifying than meeting a devil. It wasn't the fierceness of an enemy's attack that scared him; it was the prospect of being killed with a smile, as if he wasn't even worth her attention!
As Leng Yanran slowly approached the cave, she reached for her waist pouch and retrieved an identical jade pendant to the one used to kill Luo Wu.
In an instant, Sect Master Yang Chun made up his mind. He dashed out of the cave, his expression determined as he faced Leng Yanran...
"Thud!" He immediately knelt down.
"Fairy Leng, I am Daoist Yang Chun, the Sect Master of the Jin Ding Sect. I came to the Luo Heaven Sect today solely to discuss matters related to the secret realm. I have no intention of collaborating with them!
"I implore Fairy Leng to spare my life. From now on, my Jin Ding Sect will hold Fairy Leng in the highest regard!"
Sect Master Yang Chun's voice carried his spiritual power, resonating through the surrounding mountains.
Simultaneously, facing Leng Yanran's approach, "Boom! Booom! Boom!", he knocked his head on the ground three times.
