The toad let out a pained scream of unbearable burden, spewing another mouthful of silver blood that splattered everywhere.
Its entire body trembled.
Even its robust demonic physique emitted cracking sounds all over, countless bones broken. Its demonic body, several zhang in size, was being pressed down, gradually bending.
The wrath of a Quasi-Golden Core powerhouse was not something its current mid-stage Core Condensation realm cultivation could contend with.
The formation set up by Ling Fan could only withstand attacks from the Core Condensation realm.
Tian Yun King's Quasi-Golden Core strength had clearly surpassed this limit.
"I'll ask you one last time, will you surrender?"
Tian Yun King's expression was cold, carrying the majesty of absolute dominion as he spoke domineeringly.
The toad bared its mouth, defiantly spitting at Tian Yun King, "Surrender your mother's|pussy!"
Upon hearing this.
Tian Yun King's face turned extremely icy. A terrifying killing intent transformed into a boundless storm, sweeping across the entire mountain range. Instantly, the entire Mogan Mountain Range was shrouded in killing intent. The sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, creating a scene of world-ending destruction.
Countless living beings, as well as the numerous martial artists in Jiangnan City below Mogan Mountain, all felt this overwhelming Quasi-Golden Core pressure, their hearts filled with extreme fear and dread.
"Wicked beast, then die!"
Tian Yun King snorted coldly and pressed down with a palm. Immediately, vast magical power, imbued with golden light, descended with a roar.
Crack!
Crack!
Cracking sounds continuously spread. The formation covering the entire Lan Family Fort had finally reached its limit and shattered with a boom.
The toad was the first to bear the brunt.
Demonic blood splattered from its body, its bones almost shattered into pieces. It was pressed into the ground, leaving a toad-shaped silhouette.
Its life or death was unknown.
Lan Tianxiong and his wife, Lan Junjie and his wife, and other members of the Lan Family Fort were plunged into utter despair at that moment.
In the face of Tian Yun King's heavenly might-like power, they were as weak as ants, with no difference whatsoever.
They possessed no power to resist.
"Your Majesty Tian Yun King, what crime have we committed? What wrong have we done that you must destroy my Lan Family Fort!"
Lan Tianxiong's voice was filled with indignation as he roared out his unwillingness and anger.
Tian Yun King condescendingly looked down at Lan Tianxiong and all the people of the Lan Family Fort.
He sneered, "You have done nothing wrong, nor have you offended me. However... your daughter is guilty! Your daughter dared to occupy the ancient saint's inheritance, which is a capital offense!"
Lan Tianxiong angrily retorted, "What kind of logic is this! What kind of trumped-up charge is this! Whatever fortune my daughter obtained in the Martial King battlefield is her own destiny. What business is it of your Tian Yun Kingdom?"
Tian Yun King said, "Innocence invites crime. Everything in the Tian Yun Kingdom belongs to me."
"You all obediently return to the Tian Yun Kingdom with me. Anyone who dares to disobey will not be pardoned by my ruthlessness."
Tian Yun King casually reached out, and a magical hand that blotted out the sky suddenly pressed down, intending to capture everyone.
Just as everyone despaired.
Suddenly, a figure streaked across the sky at extreme speed.
This figure wore plain clothes and had gray hair. He was young and not tall.
But as he stood there, he was like an unmovable mountain, instantly bringing a sense of peace to Lan Tianxiong, Li Huimei, Lan Junjie, and the others.
Who else could this figure be but Ling Fan.
Ling Fan casually pointed, and space itself seemed to freeze. Cracking sounds echoed through heaven and earth. Tian Yun King's magical hand, conjured from magical power, instantly shattered like a mirror.
"Son-in-law!"
"Xiao Fan!"
"Ling Zun!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and joy.
Even the toad, half of whose body was buried in the ground, let out a weak sound.
Ling Fan swept his gaze, seeing the shattered formation, the ruined Lan Family Fort, and the dying toad. A killing intent arose within him.
He looked coldly at Tian Yun King.
Tian Yun King frowned slightly and looked back at him.
The two sharp gazes collided in the void with a roar.
"You are Lan Xueyi's husband, that Ling Fan?"
Tian Yun King arrogantly raised his chin and said, "You've come at the right time! Capturing Lan Xueyi's parents and then capturing her husband, I'll have more leverage. I don't believe Lan Xueyi won't obediently hand over the Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint's inheritance."
Lan Tianxiong's heart grew anxious. He quickly said, "Xiao Fan, escape quickly! Don't worry about us. You are no match for him, he is a Quasi-Golden Core!"
Lan Tianxiong still thought Ling Fan's strength was only at the Core Condensation realm Martial Venerable level, and thus he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Ling Fan calmly said to Lan Tianxiong, "Father-in-law, you don't need to worry. He can't harm me. I will avenge you."
Hearing this, Tian Yun King was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.
With his laughter, the mountains and rivers trembled.
"Ling Fan, I know you are a monstrous talent. Half a year ago, you caused a commotion at the entrance of the Martial King battlefield and exchanged a blow with the Evil Tree, protecting your wife as she entered the Martial King battlefield. If I hadn't been at a critical juncture of breaking through to the Quasi-Golden Core realm at that time, I would have suppressed you long ago. Now that I have entered the Quasi-Golden Core realm, you are even more insignificant in my eyes. How dare you speak so wildly before me!"
"What are you making such a racket for, you old dog? Your lair, the Tian Yun Royal Palace, has already been razed by me. Your princes and grandsons have all become wandering spirits. I am now sending you to join them."
Tian Yun King's expression suddenly froze, his smile stiffening on his face.
"You're talking nonsense. Although I personally came to the Flowing Cloud Kingdom, the Tian Yun Royal Palace still had over ten Core Condensation realm Martial Venerables stationed there, as well as Core Condensation realm experts from the other three great kingdoms. How could you possibly raze it!"
Ling Fan sneered.
You don't believe it, do you?
Then I'll show you something.
Ling Fan casually waved his hand, and a long, segmented object, like a centipede, flew out from a storage spiritual artifact.
Everyone looked closely.
They saw a long string of heads, threaded together by a thin spiritual energy line, floating in the void.
A rough count revealed at least dozens of heads!
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
Especially the experts from the Tian Yun Kingdom behind Tian Yun King.
Because they recognized some of the heads among them...
The Martial Venerable Evil Tree of their Tian Yun Kingdom, Martial Venerable Tuo Yu, the patriarchs and former patriarchs of the Seven Great Martial Venerable Families, the West River Sword Venerable of the Tian Chuan Kingdom, Martial Venerable Fang Sheng... the Han Yin Venerable of the Tian Yin Kingdom, Venerable Xie Lingdao...
Almost every head.
Represented a Martial Venerable expert who had once been renowned throughout the Tian Shan region.
However, now...
All of them had their heads severed...
Tian Yun King's expression became ferocious.
He believed it now...
Ling Fan's words were not false at all...
He had indeed wiped out his Tian Yun royal family!
"Ah!"
Tian Yun King's killing intent exploded outwards like a storm. He threw his head back and roared at the sky, like an enraged lion.
