King Jian’s powerful armor was as fragile as paper before the mighty Zanpakuto.
Yan Shouyi remained in his posture of striking, the blade incredibly bright and unstained by blood, while King Jian behind him had already lost his head.
He released the rusty sword in his hand, his body collapsing weakly to the ground, then to his side.
Without the protection of his armor, the Heavenly Thunder Fire instantly invaded King Jian’s body, incinerating his flesh and blood.
A gust of wind blew, leaving behind only the empty shell of armor, nothing else remaining.
A generation’s formidable figure had thus completely fallen.
“Success!”
Lin Zhitong cried out in delight and came to Yan Shouyi’s side, saying excitedly, “You did it! You killed King Jian!”
Yan Shouyi straightened his body, but his hands trembled incessantly, not from fear, but from excessive excitement.
He gripped the Zanpakuto tightly, feeling his heart about to leap out of his chest:
“Although I killed King Jian, the power within me remains, seemingly endless… I must release it, or this power will explode me!”
What truly instantly killed King Jian was not the powerful Zanpakuto, but the immense power originating from within Yan Shouyi!
Lin Zhitong’s expression changed upon hearing this: “Is it Sha Qi?”
“Yes…” Yan Shouyi gritted his teeth.
The Sha Qi was corrupting his consciousness, making him bloodthirsty and violent. If this Sha Qi were not released in time, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Lin Zhitong immediately embraced Yan Shouyi, urging, “Lian He! Hurry out, this Sha Qi is exactly what you need!”
Lian He could absorb Sha Qi and convert it into power beneficial to Lin Zhitong.
But Yan Shouyi suddenly said, “Wait! Though King Jian is dead, there is still Boss Zhou who has not been dealt with!”
Lin Zhitong came to her senses and quickly let go of Yan Shouyi: “I’ll wait for you here. After you deal with Boss Zhou, if you still can’t control yourself, then have Lian He come out!”
“Okay.”
Yan Shouyi, with trembling hands, gently patted Lin Zhitong’s head as a form of comfort.
The next second, his body instantly vanished from his spot, leaving behind only a streak of black lightning!
Zong Di Jin Guang?
The Zong Di Jin Guang, driven by Sha Qi, was terrifyingly fast!
…
On the other side, the Ma siblings and Yang Li were struggling fiercely against Boss Zhou.
Boss Zhou’s body seemed to have completely merged with the red liquid on the coffin, even transforming into a boneless, viscous mass. Even when Ma Jinxuan cut off Boss Zhou’s fingers with her dagger, he could quickly grow a new one.
And when Ma Xingping punched a hole through Boss Zhou, this fellow could also recover!
The two felt that Boss Zhou at this moment was simply like a slug, disgusting and difficult to deal with!
Yang Li gritted his teeth and cursed, “If I had known, we should have killed him upstairs!”
As he spoke, Boss Zhou suddenly lunged at Yang Li, knocking him aside head-on. Then, transforming into liquid again, he bypassed Ma Xingping and finally grabbed Ma Jinxuan!
Boss Zhou was now over three meters tall. With one hand, he gripped Ma Jinxuan’s body and lifted her into the air!
That hideous head opened its gaping maw, about to stuff Ma Jinxuan into its mouth!
Ma Jinxuan struggled frantically, but she was no match!
Seeing this, Ma Xingping’s eyes turned red, and he charged at Boss Zhou desperately!
Just then—
*Swish!*
A sound of air being ripped apart was heard, and Ma Jinxuan suddenly landed on the ground.
She looked up and saw Yan Shouyi standing on the shoulders of the towering Boss Zhou!
Yan Shouyi stood on Boss Zhou’s shoulders, looking down at the evil creature beneath his feet!
“Yan Shouyi… die!” Boss Zhou’s voice was muffled.
Black energy emanated from Yan Shouyi, and he said coldly, “You are the true Jiang Wusheng. All of this was caused by you.”
“No… it was you!! …It was you!!”
Boss Zhou waved his hands, trying to grab Yan Shouyi on his shoulders, but Yan Shouyi performed a backflip and landed behind Boss Zhou.
*Boom!!*
Immediately, a palm strike of lightning struck down, and black electricity made Boss Zhou tremble all over!
Before he could recover, Yan Shouyi’s Zanpakuto pierced through Boss Zhou’s chest!
“The grudges of generations must be settled at this moment.”
Yan Shouyi slowly drew out the Zanpakuto, and to everyone’s surprise, the wound on Boss Zhou’s chest, where the Zanpakuto had pierced through, did not heal as it had before!
The Jiangtou master hiding in the corner couldn’t help but mutter, “How did this guy turn the Sha Qi to his own use… This is unscientific! …Bah! This doesn’t make sense!”
The Sha Qi was like sulfuric acid, not only preventing Boss Zhou’s wounds from healing but also continuously spreading and consuming the surrounding area.
Unable to heal his injuries, Boss Zhou collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
But his eyes were still fixed on Yan Shouyi, with boundless hatred in them.
“You are… General… I… didn’t realize it before…” Boss Zhou said weakly and with regret.
Yan Shouyi curled his lip; the power within him was still surging.
He might as well take this opportunity to nip the evil in the bud!
“Heavenly Thunder Control Fire Art!”
The same Heavenly Thunder Fire ignited Boss Zhou’s hideous body, turning it into ashes!
After doing all this, Yan Shouyi felt slightly better.
To prevent himself from going berserk, he quickly discarded the Zanpakuto.
As soon as the Zanpakuto left his hand, it ignited on its own and disappeared.
Yan Shouyi, however, knelt on one knee, gasping for breath, looking very weary.
The Ma siblings and Yang Li finally recovered from their shock.
Yan Shouyi had, with his own strength alone, easily killed King Jian and Boss Zhou?!
For Boss Zhou alone, they had to exert all their strength and were almost killed.
But Yan Shouyi…
Was the descendant of Lu Ban truly this powerful?!
Especially Yang Li, who was a Ban Shan Daoist and considered himself superior, particularly in terms of strength. He believed that even disciples of famous orthodox sects were inferior to him.
But after witnessing Yan Shouyi’s abilities, he realized how absurd his past pride was in front of Yan Shouyi!
“Big idiot!”
Lin Zhitong ran over in time, supporting Yan Shouyi: “How do you feel? Do you need Lian He to…”
“No need,” Yan Shouyi waved his hand, “There are no major problems anymore… The Zanpakuto triggers the riot of the Sha Qi within me. Now that I’ve discarded the Zanpakuto, there should be… no problems.”
Lin Zhitong examined Yan Shouyi, confirming he was truly alright, before she felt relieved.
At this moment, King Jian and Boss Zhou in the main tomb chamber had both perished.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of having survived a great calamity.
Yan Shouyi smiled at everyone: “Are you all alright?”
“We’re fine.”
“And Xiao Long…” Yan Shouyi asked again.
Lin Zhitong said, “He’s seriously injured, but it’s not life-threatening. He’s still unconscious.”
“I have some medicine here. Everyone take it to recover some vital energy.”
To help everyone recover, Yan Shouyi took out the Eastern King Gourd and distributed the pills refined by Old Jin to everyone.
The medicine for Long Feicheng was the most precious. Yan Shouyi did not wish for his brother to suffer any harm. Although Long Feicheng was not in mortal danger, King Jian’s kick earlier must have broken his pelvis, and that must have been painful.
However, when facing Yang Li, Yan Shouyi thought about it and did not give him any.
He was not a saint. Yang Li was a petty thief, and Yan Shouyi would not give pills to this fellow.
Yan Shouyi understood the principle of nurturing a tiger that would become a menace. He knew clearly who could be redeemed and who was not worth wasting his feelings on.
If Yang Li had joined him from the beginning, Yan Shouyi would certainly have treated him like the Ma siblings.
But now, he had missed that opportunity.
Yang Li saw everyone else taking the healing pills while he was left alone with nothing, and he felt disheartened. However, he did not show his displeasure on his face, instead offering a fawning smile.
What else could he do now?
He had thought of some devious plans before, but after witnessing Yan Shouyi’s prowess and his fierce demeanor in killing two people, Yang Li somehow couldn’t muster the courage to face Yan Shouyi.
This fellow was clearly a god of slaughter.
Who would want to antagonize a god of slaughter?!
