Chapter 0333: A Ruthless Slaughter

Xiao Yanglong stopped screaming, completely stunned by the terrifying power of Qin Yun's Great Dao!

He looked at Qin Yun with immense fear!

Qin Yun, at the ninth level of the Martial Body realm, was already terrifyingly powerful, capable of rivaling a first-level warrior of the Martial Dao realm when fighting with his life on the line!

Now that Qin Yun had entered the Martial Dao realm, his strength was unimaginable!

"You... you demon, you consumed my martial soul to break through!" Xiao Yanglong, trembling in fear, screamed in a hoarse voice.

"Xiao Yanglong, you've committed countless evils. You should be content to have lived this long!" Qin Yun said coldly, staring at Xiao Yanglong.

His Heavenly Lion's Arm transformed into a lion's claw, and with the Six Forms of Wind Slash, it unleashed a surge of purple-gold thunder and raging flames, enveloping Xiao Yanglong!

"Ah... don't kill me..."

Xiao Yanglong, engulfed in the violent purple-gold thunder and flames, let out a final, blood-curdling scream before his body was torn to pieces and turned to ash by the raging thunder and fire!

The noisy and chaotic Western Palace square suddenly fell silent, only to erupt into a wave of shouts moments later!

Xiao Yanglong was dead!

The Crown Prince of Tian Xiao, the young Martial Dao realm warrior, the chief disciple of the Western Palace, and the possessor of the Heaven-bestowed Golden Sun Martial Spirit, had been killed by Qin Yun, who was not even twenty years old!

Lan Huayu hurriedly went to shut down the formation. The situation had escalated far beyond his expectations!

The Southern Palace Lord, sensing the terrifying power of Qin Yun's Great Dao, quickly retreated.

The Northern Palace Lord did the same!

Their enmity with Qin Yun was not as deep as that of the Western Palace's Yang Palace Lord. Qin Yun's exposure of the art of soul refinement technique was a desperate move, ready to fight to the death.

Although Qin Yun had just entered the Martial Dao realm, the power of his dual totem powers was terrifying and unfathomable!

Engaging in a reckless battle with Qin Yun could very likely result in severe injuries.

Lan Huayu finally shut down the formation!

Only the Western Palace's Yang Palace Lord charged in, holding a long sword!

"You colluded with Xiao Yanglong, knowing he intended to use Teacher Yang as a cultivation furnace. You deserve to die too!" Qin Yun threw out several immobilization talismans, freezing Yang Palace Lord in place.

Overwhelmed by rage, Yang Palace Lord had momentarily forgotten Qin Yun's immobilization talismans. The moment he was immobilized, Qin Yun lunged forward!

Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion's Arm transformed into a lion's claw, slashing out with a surge of purple-gold thunder and flames, roaring and dancing as it tore Yang Palace Lord into several pieces!

Boom!

Qin Yun unleashed his thunder and fire inner energy onto the shattered remains, burning them to ashes!

Witnessing this scene, everyone swallowed hard, filled with tension, excitement, and fear...

Qin Yun had actually killed a palace lord!

The situation had developed in a way that left everyone shocked and astonished!

The Western Palace's Yang Palace Lord, who usually stood high above, was someone many disciples could only look up to in awe!

But at this moment, Qin Yun had taken him down in just a few moves!

After Qin Yun stepped into the Martial Warrior realm, his strength grew even more fearsome!

Everyone's hearts raced as they looked at Qin Yun, their eyes filled with fear!

With a whoosh, Qin Yun activated his Fire Cloud Step and flew out of the arena.

In the blink of an eye, he landed near the Yang family elders.

"Ah... save me!" The lanky elder who had injured Yang Shiyue, although also a Martial Warrior, was utterly terrified of Qin Yun.

Qin Yun darted forward like lightning and punched the elder in the abdomen!

"Ah—" The lanky elder screamed in agony as his Dao Core was cracked, suffering severe damage.

"Die!"

Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion Claw, raging with thunder and fire, slashed a few times, reducing the Yang family elders to fiery fragments!

Another Martial Warrior had fallen!

Martial Warriors stood no chance against Qin Yun!

Here, only Zhuochuan and Lan Huayu were strong enough to subdue Qin Yun.

But they were both Qin Yun's friends and also hated the Yang Palace Lord and the Yang family members, so they refrained from acting.

"Teacher, I'm sorry!" Qin Yun looked at Yang Shiyue in Lan Fengjin's arms, overcome with guilt.

"No more words, hurry, leave the Blue Spirit Star Palace quickly!" Yang Shiyue whispered urgently, though she was also happy to see Qin Yun step into the Martial Warrior realm.

Lan Huayu was also by Qin Yun's side, handing him a box filled with the Blue Spirit Mystical Robe, Sun and Moon Mystical Bowl, Yang Flame Liquid, Star Runes, and mystical weapon blueprints...

These were the rewards Qin Yun had earned by defeating Xiao Yanglong!

Here, there were also a few elders from the Holy Palace, whose duty was to maintain order. They swooped in and encircled Qin Yun.

"The great palace master will be here soon! Qin Yun, give yourself up!" one of the elders said.

"If the Yang Palace Lord truly allowed Xiao Yanglong to cultivate demonic techniques, then he had it coming. As for you killing the Yang family members, that's your own vendetta, and we won't interfere. But you used demonic techniques to extract martial souls, and that cannot go unpunished!"

"Qin Yun, your strength is indeed terrifying, and we prefer not to confront you. If you truly repent, stay put and comply, and wait for the great palace master to handle this!"

Yang Shiyue softly called out, "Qin Yun, ignore them, break through..."

Wu Xiang and Lao Tan also hurried to Qin Yun's side.

"Ah Yun, let us handle this, you get out of here!" Lao Tan whispered, taking out his Spirit King Cannon.

"Kid, if the great palace master arrives, it'll be game over! That guy is at the Spirit Martial realm! He can kill a large number of Martial Warriors with a single slap. We are like ants in front of him!" Wu Xiang also urged.

The elders from the Holy Palace were under tremendous pressure!

If Qin Yun's friends intervened, all-out chaos would ensue.

Xie Wufeng also stood by Qin Yun's side, whispering, "Brother Yun, hurry and leave!"

The head of the Southern Palace suddenly said, "Qin Yun has mastered soul-devouring techniques. We must join forces to capture him, or else the great palace master will blame us all!"

"Zhuochuan, Lan Huayu, you are the strongest warriors in the Spirit Martial Realm here. Are you going to shield this demon just because he's your friend? Hmph!"

The head of the North Palace also quickly stepped forward, shouting, "Qin Yun is a demon. If you shield him, the great palace master will never let him go!"

Qin Yun looked at his friends, willing to help him, and felt deeply moved...

Back in the imperial palace, when his spiritual veins were ripped out, he stood alone, abandoned by all.

Now, there were so many people who trusted him and did not see him as a demon!

"Everyone, thank you... To have friends like you, I, Qin Yun, can die without regret!" Qin Yun's eyes glistened with unshed tears as he clasped his fists and spoke to Xie Wufeng and the others.

Finally, he glanced at Yang Shiyue, nodding to Lan Fengjin to take care of her.

"Brother Yun, what the hell are you doing?" Xie Wufeng quickly asked. As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, and Qin Yun rocketed into the air.

Qin Yun activated the Star Profound Steps, launching himself into the sky, then headed east toward the Blue Spirit Star Palace!

"After him!" the elders from the Star Palace urgently shouted.

At the same time, the powerful aura of Lan Chen, who was in the Spirit Martial Realm, surged from the direction of the Star Palace!

"The great palace master has arrived, Qin Yun! There's no escape!" an elder shouted.

Zhuochuan, Lan Huayu, and Xie Wufeng, along with other warriors in the Spirit Martial Realm, flew into the air, chasing after Qin Yun!

If Qin Yun were to be caught by Lan Chen, they could still plead for him.

Qin Yun shuddered under Lan Chen's overwhelming aura, his fear hidden but palpable.

He also knew that the elders and heads of the Star Palace could use spiritual tools to send messages to Lan Chen, which was why Lan Chen had arrived so quickly.

"Qin Yun's heading straight for our East Palace!"

An elder woman said. She was the head of the East Palace and, along with Shui Yihui, followed behind.

They had no plans to intervene, merely observing.

But now, Qin Yun was heading toward their East Palace.

Shui Yihui asked in confusion, "What the hell is Qin Yun planning at our East Palace?"

Qin Yun moved with blinding speed, leaving even the seasoned Spirit Martial Realm warriors struggling to keep pace!

As confusion spread, a towering mountain loomed ahead.

The mountain soared a thousand meters, its peak jutting sharply into the sky.

The mountain gleamed with silver-white stone, an otherworldly sight.

At the sight of the silver-white mountain, the pursuing warriors gasped, their shock palpable.

This mountain, nestled within the East Palace, was renowned throughout the Blue Spirit Star Palace.

For within this mountain lay the dreaded Gate of Strange Patterns.

"Qin Yun, stay away from the Gate of Strange Patterns!" Lan Huayu shouted, "Once you step inside, there's no turning back!"

"Brother Yun, don't do this!" Xie Wufeng also urgently shouted, frantically pushing his speed to the limit.

At this moment, everyone knew that Qin Yun's purpose in going to the East Palace was to enter the Runes Master Hall!

Lan Chen's aura was closing in rapidly, and he quickly surpassed Lan Huayu and the others, chasing after Qin Yun.

"Great Palace Master, you must stop him!" Lan Huayu urgently shouted.

"I’ll handle it!" Lan Chen's voice came, putting Xie Wufeng and Lan Huayu at ease.

Feeling Lan Chen's aura approaching, Qin Yun gritted his teeth and combined the instant movement of the Fire Cloud Steps with the Star Profound Steps!

He streaked toward the silver-white mountain like a meteor!

Soon, Qin Yun arrived at the foot of the mountain and rushed into a cave shrouded in black mist!

Just as he entered, Lan Chen released a powerful force, enveloping the cave in an attempt to drag Qin Yun out, but it was already too late.

Lan Chen let out a frustrated sigh, slapped his bald head in frustration, and stomped his foot hard, making the East Palace shake violently.

Then, Lan Huayu, the three palace lords, and a group of elders gathered in front of the cave.

"Great Palace Master... where is Qin Yun?" Lan Huayu hurriedly asked.

"He went in! This guy was running for his life and suddenly increased his speed!" Lan Chen sighed deeply: "What a shame! What a shame!"

"Master, aren’t you going to punish Brother Yun?" Xie Wufeng quickly asked.

The elders of the other holy palaces and the three palace lords also had their expressions shift slightly.

The South Palace Lord hurriedly said: "Great Palace Master, Qin Yun used the soul-devouring forbidden technique to devour Xiao Yanglong's Yang Martial Spirit, killing both Xiao Yanglong and the Yang Palace Lord!"

"Xiao Yanglong fought a life-and-death battle with him, so his death was justified. Qin Yun merely extracted his Martial Spirit in passing—it’s not a big deal!" Lan Chen's words left the martial realm practitioners present stunned.

Extracting a Martial Spirit isn’t a big deal!

They all wondered if they’d heard right.

"You’re all clueless!" Lan Chen looked at Zhuochuan and asked: "You are the elder of the Runes Master Hall, you should also know that this kind of thing is nothing, right?"

Zhuochuan nodded: "In Wuhuang, soul extraction and refining are seen as an arcane art. Those who know this art are called Soul Refiners! Like alchemists and Runes Masters, they are deeply respected!"
