This was also why he was eager to execute the two of them. If Mo Qi were alive, these two could have been used to threaten him. But with Mo Qi dead, these two had to be killed, otherwise, the authority of the Immortal King’s Palace would be questioned.
Yu Dangchu breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Chang family, led by a beggar who appeared out of nowhere, had caused some trouble for the Immortal King’s Palace, it had ended without any real danger. In the end, he had won, and the Immortal King’s Palace had returned to its former state, its supreme status restored.
At this moment, Chang Yuning and Chang Xunhuan were tied to pillars. A flying sword hovered above their heads. With a slight wave of his hand, the sword would descend, and their heads would follow.
Yu Dangchu surveyed the surroundings with a solemn expression. “The Chang family dared to oppose my Immortal King’s Palace, so I destroyed the Chang family. These two are the remaining remnants of the Chang family and must also die. I want to tell all of you that opposing my Immortal King’s Palace leads to no good end, only death. Do not harbor any侥幸, for no one can escape retribution.”
A roar of cheers erupted from below.
Just then, a voice sliced through the air, “Today, you are the one who should die.”
Yu Dangchu turned towards the sound and was so enraged he almost spat blood. Standing on the rooftop was none other than the beggar.
He wasn’t dead yet!
Beside him stood another beauty, a woman no less stunning than Chang Yuning.
Where did this beggar find such romantic luck, always accompanied by beautiful women?
A commotion rippled through the crowd. Some cursed loudly, while others cheered.
At this moment, Qi Sansi and Kang Beike lunged forward, one wielding a sword, the other a saber, their movements creating streaks of light as they slashed towards Mo Qi.
Mo Qi advanced instead of retreating, unleashing the Myriad Phenomena Soul Devourer. Light and shadow clashed and intertwined. The crowd only saw three figures merge and tear at each other. After a series of explosive crackles, the figures separated.
Qi Sansi and Kang Beike lay on the ground, motionless.
Mo Qi stood there as if nothing had happened, his demeanor unchanged.
Qi Sansi and Kang Beike were both formidable generals under Yu Dangchu, yet they were instantly killed by Mo Qi!
The people felt that Yu Dangchu’s ruling position was facing an unprecedented challenge!
They also sensed Yu Dangchu’s panic.
The once arrogant and overbearing Immortal King was showing a hint of fear before these so-called lowly commoners!
Even dread!
Did this mean they were not inviolable, not beyond questioning?
This had never happened in the history of the Immortal King’s Palace.
But they were witnessing it!
They felt honored, perhaps they would personally witness the downfall of the once invincible Immortal King. The thought alone was exhilarating.
Yu Dangchu was indeed terrified at this moment.
Who in the heavens was this person? How could he be so resilient?
He wasn’t worried about losing the fight; he was worried about not being able to kill him.
An unkillable opponent was far more terrifying.
Yet, before these commoners, he desperately maintained his composure and elegance, projecting an air of unruffled calm.
Suddenly, a deafening roar, like an earthquake, shook the ground. The earth sank several feet. The crowd panicked, scattering in all directions. However, after a moment, they realized the tremors had stopped and gradually calmed down.
Still, some asked with lingering fear, “What happened?”
They were met with blank stares.
No one knew what had happened.
But at this moment, the palaces of the Immortal King’s Palace dimmed.
The buildings, once surrounded by spiritual energy and bathed in radiant mist, were now devoid of light.
Yu Dangchu suddenly realized something, his face contorting in terror as he looked at Mo Qi. “You opened the gate to the Star World, the path to the Tree World?”
“That’s right, you’re not entirely foolish,” Mo Qi said leisurely.
“You… do you know what this means?” Yu Dangchu trembled, pointing a finger at Mo Qi.
“It means your Immortal King’s Palace is finished,” Mo Qi stated unhurriedly.
A cheer erupted from the crowd.
Only then did they realize that this was something they had long anticipated.
It was a deep-seated expectation they had never acknowledged.
“You court death!” Yu Dangchu roared. A Dharma Aspect appeared behind him, a towering, golden figure dozens of feet tall, with furious eyes and holding a staff. He swung it down at Mo Qi. Mo Qi dodged, and the staff struck the ground, kicking up dust and smoke, leaving a massive crater.
The Dharma Aspect, having missed its target, did not hesitate and continued to swing the staff at Mo Qi.
Mo Qi remained unfazed, raising his hand. The Sinless Spear shot out, crackling with lightning and wreathed in flames. The surrounding air churned violently, stirring clouds and darkening the sky.
The Sinless Spear clashed with the staff instantly, causing the entire space to tremble and roar.
The staff shattered, and the Sinless Spear pierced the Dharma Aspect’s body. The Dharma Aspect dissipated into smoke.
Yu Dangchu, however, let out a cry and spat a mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing to the ground.
Mo Qi pressed his advantage, flicking his hand. The Sinless Spear circled and plunged fiercely towards Yu Dangchu again.
At that moment, a figure streaked through the air, shouting, “Stop!”
Upon hearing the voice, Mo Qi already knew who had arrived.
He ignored it, continuing to drive the Sinless Spear towards Yu Dangchu.
No matter who it was, nothing could deter his resolve to kill Yu Dangchu.
These people deserved to die, they were utterly insane.
He was merely a passerby, and he didn’t know how he had offended them to warrant such relentless pursuit.
Thus, the Sinless Spear pierced Yu Dangchu’s body, pinning him. After flying a short distance through the air, it slammed into the ground, and Yu Dangchu’s body slowly slid down the spear.
Tong Qin immediately let out a hysterical scream, “My son…”
She didn’t rush towards the now-dead Yu Dangchu, but instead lunged madly at Chang Yuning. “You deserve to die, all of you deserve to die.”
Chang Yuning’s hands and feet were bound, unable to move. She could only watch helplessly as the madwoman lunged at her.
Mid-air, Tong Qin thrust her hands forward, a red light emanating from them, splashing like blood towards Chang Yuning.
From a distance, Chang Yuning felt a tearing force rushing towards her, her skin almost ripping apart. Pain coursed through her entire body.
Life was worse than death; she just wanted it all to end quickly!
At this moment, seeing the bloody mist unstoppable as it flew towards Chang Yuning, Mo Qi, in a moment of desperation, leaped in front of her, activating his Indestructible Golden Body. Golden light instantly enveloped his form.
However, the frenzied Tong Qin’s eyes gleamed with ruthless determination. Though mad, her mind remained clear, her tactics sharp.
She intended to deal with Mo Qi, but she first targeted Chang Yuning, precisely to lure Mo Qi into a trap.
If you can’t deal with someone you’ve schemed against, a little trickery might make them walk into a trap, and you’d certainly use such tricks.
The red light suddenly distorted. What was initially like blood splattering in the air rapidly transformed into rows of red chains, each tipped with a barb. They whistled forward in parallel.
Mo Qi gasped, feeling that his protective golden light was as fragile as mud before these red chains. But it was too late.
With a cry of alarm from Chang Yuning and Shui Han, the chains pierced Mo Qi’s body.
However, the chains did not stop. Like靈蛇, they extended forward, then curved back, forming a closed loop.
Mo Qi’s body was impaled, blood gushing out, instantly rendering him incapable of fighting.
The sudden lethality of his opponent had caught him completely off guard.
His opponent was likely at the Saint Monarch level of cultivation.
Saint Monarch, Saint King, and Saint Emperor were three tiers of cultivation. Those who reached these levels generally wielded significant influence across the myriad realms.
Just like Qi Ba, Chu Fen, Ah Zhi, and Ah Wu; the last time they competed for the Green Lotus Fire, everyone else could only watch.
Once one reached these cultivation levels, progress typically became very difficult, and one would remain at that level for a long time. Many were even named after their cultivation, such as Saint Monarch Qi, Saint Monarch Chu…
Therefore, the strength of the present Saint Monarch Tong should not be underestimated. She was fully capable of killing Mo Qi, but she chose a more secure method, intending to give Mo Qi no chance of escape.
Just like now, she had impaled Mo Qi’s body with chains, and the rest was how to torture him.
Shui Han pointed a finger, and a myriad of flower shadows spun towards Tong Qin. A sinister smile played on Tong Qin’s lips. With a casual flick, she swung the red chains, sending Mo Qi’s body crashing into the myriad flower shadows.
The flower shadows shattered instantly, gradually dissipating into smoke.
Mo Qi’s body was also splattered with blood, riddled with wounds.
The tearing and ripping forces constantly assailed his soul. He fainted several times, but each time Tong Qin gave the chains a gentle tug, she would jolt him awake.
He was now like meat on a chopping block, with no other possibility but to be slaughtered.
But Tong Qin deliberately denied him a swift end, choosing instead to torment him.
To make him wish for death but be unable to find it.
Shui Han watched this unfold and dared not continue attacking Tong Qin.
Tong Qin, however, was not satisfied. She pulled the chains again, swinging Mo Qi’s body towards Shui Han from various angles. Shui Han had no choice but to dodge and flee into the distance.
Chang Yuning, watching from the side, wept profusely. “Silly, silly boy, why would you do this?”
Chang Xunhuan also sighed repeatedly.
Even the Turtle Immortal in the secret realm shook his head repeatedly. “I’m sorry, old brother, I haven’t fully recovered yet, I can’t save you.”
Seeing Shui Han flee, Tong Qin was still not appeased. She swung the chains, smashing Mo Qi’s body against the ground from all angles, blood showering through the air like rain.
Mo Qi felt numb. His body seemed no longer his own.
When pain becomes the norm, it becomes a part of the body, and the body becomes a burden!
He had completely given up struggling. The more he struggled, the more pain he felt.
His only wish was for a swift death.
At this moment, no matter how heroic or invincible he had been before, it all became a fleeting memory.
No matter how many grand ambitions he harbored, they were completely cast aside.
Tong Qin held Mo Qi’s life and death in her hands and laughed maniacally. “You damned commoner, you killed my son, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!”
