Chapter 0812: The Deterrence of the Celestial Dragon

The members of the Long Family were all intimidated by Lan Suyao's eerie power, falling into momentary terror.

Keep in mind that there were many people from other factions present here, but they were merely allies of the Long Family.

These allies of the Long Family had previously believed that Qin Yun and the Immortal Armory Palace would be easy to deal with, especially since a powerful six-tribulation Half-Immortal was present. They had assumed they could effortlessly crush the forces of the Immortal Armory City.

The Immortal Armory City had not sent many people—only Qin Yun and a mysterious, formidable woman had arrived.

Yet, the strength Lan Suyao displayed was on par with an Immortal's, terrifying the Long Family's allies.

"Everyone, there's no need to fear them at all! That woman is not a true Immortal—she merely knows some powerful forbidden arts. As long as we unite and surround them from all sides, we can capture both of them!" shouted the Long Family elder.

"Our Soaring Dragon Province also has reinforcements on the way, arriving soon. Do not fear them!" a middle-aged man shouted loudly.

Hearing that backup was coming, the Long Family's allies breathed easier.

"Qin Yun hasn't even reached Martial King—he only got off so easy because of that woman's help! If we charge together, they won't stand a chance! Unity is strength!" the Long Family elder shouted, rousing the troops and psyching himself up.

After all, these people were seasoned veterans and could discern Lan Suyao's true strength.

Based on their experience, Lan Suyao packed serious power, but she had not yet reached the level of an Immortal.

"Charge!"

"Capture them!"

"We have so many Half-Immortals and Emperor Wu—we will surely defeat just two of them!"

"Kill!"

The members of the Long Family and their allies broke into war cries.

The thunderous roars even made the mighty Weilong Mountain Range tremble!

At that moment, dozens of Emperor Wu and Half-Immortals simultaneously unleashed their formidable auras, sending out invisible force waves that rippled through the air.

The onlookers in the distant sky were blown away by the spectacle, to the point where they themselves itched to jump in.

Yet, they also found it somewhat amusing—after all, the Long Family had brought out the big guns just to attack two people!

After taking a few steps forward, Lan Suyao's blue Saint Eyes shimmered with cerulean glow.

"If only we still had that Square Eye!" Ling Yuner said.

The Square Eye Lan Suyao had obtained had been devoured by Ghost Dragon, leaving Qin Yun deeply regretful at the time.

Though she no longer had the Square Eye, her blue Saint Eyes were still incredibly powerful. Blasts of blue energy shot forth, crashing forward in a blue tsunami toward the charging crowd.

The speed of those rushing forward suddenly slowed.

"Kill!"

The Soul Sacred Blade in Qin Yun's hand trembled violently, as if thirsting to devour countless powerful souls.

He plunged into the crowd, cutting through them like a scythe. Those at the forefront were all from the Martial Emperor Realm. Despite their defensive gear, it might as well have been tissue paper before the Soul Sacred Blade.

Qin Yun mowed them down without breaking stride—one stroke, one corpse!

Jian Shitian and the others originally wanted to descend into battle, but he knew all too well the dread of that azure radiance—only Qin Yun could remain unaffected by it.

Qin Yun charged in, bathed in the blue light, yet it had no impact on him.

This was precisely why Qin Yun had barred most reinforcements from coming—even if they had arrived, they wouldn’t have been able to fight effectively. It was better for them to remain guarding the Immortal Armament City.

The strongest Half-Immortals from the Long Family and the Profound Domain didn’t charge forward but instead hid in the rear.

The blue light emitted by Lan Suyao’s sacred pupils enveloped the entire square before the Tyrant Dragon Manor’s gates. Even those who hadn’t rushed forward were still bathed in its glow.

The Long Family had sorely underestimated Lan Suyao’s power!

Half-Immortals from the allied forces—Herb Immortal Vale, Canghuo Immortal Mountain, the Mystic Rune Temple, the Tian Family, the Yang Family—were all slain one by one under Qin Yun’s blade, their corpses seized by him in an instant.

Though Lan Suyao stood motionless, she was the most terrifying of all. The blue light from her sacred pupils functioned as a supreme paralyzing force, rendering everyone unable to move.

The onlookers burst into gasps and cheers every time they witnessed a Half-Immortal being slain.

Thus, an endless stream of shouts filled the air, fueling the frenzy.

Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter…

Half-Immortals and Emperor Wu were the strongest figures in this realm of the Spirit Barrens. Though few in number, they stood at the pinnacle of power.

Yet now, they were being felled like wheat—bisected in one slash!

This was the most horrifying realization of all!

The revered Emperor Wu and Half-Immortals, so admired and envied, were actually this fragile! Before overwhelming power, they died just like ordinary people!

In just a short span of time, the ground was drenched in blood.

The metallic reek of blood and the phantasmal azure glow cloaked the plaza, filling it with an aura of death and brutality—yet also with a macabre elegance!

Whish—whish—whish!

Qin Yun’s slaughter showed no signs of stopping!

The flying daggers he unleashed were also claiming lives in droves, cutting down Martial Kings and Martial Lords.

He channeled Dark Moon to unleash formidable mental energy, controlling the spirit-forged flying blades to pierce through the ranks of Martial Lords and Martial Kings.

Some wore armor too sturdy for the daggers to penetrate, so Qin Yun dashed over and split them helm to hip!

Before the gates of Tyrant Dragon Manor, the square was dominated by a majestic dragon statue, now surrounded by pools of blood.

The vast square was painted red!

Martial Lords and Martial Kings, trapped in the blue light, were frozen stiff—their lives harvested by Qin Yun!

They had ached to see Qin Yun dead, yet now it was he who took their lives!

"Hand over Qiao Feng’s martial soul!"

Qin Yun’s bellow of fury, brimming with wrath and killing intent, quaked the skies, sending tremors through souls.

The Long Family and their allies had been wiped from existence!

They had originally gathered here to plot the razing of the Immortal Armament City—to reduce it to ashes!

But before they could launch their attack, Qin Yun had already blocked them at the gate and brutally cut them down.

Now, only a few Half-Immortals from the Long family and people from the Profound Domain remained!

They had greatly underestimated Lan Suyao's strength.

They had previously thought that Lan Suyao's eyes could only freeze a handful of people at a time. Little did they expect that anyone caught in her blue gaze would be completely paralyzed.

"Qin Yun... With so many witnesses here, the news of you killing our Profound Domain elders will surely reach back! The sects within our Profound Domain are far more powerful than you can imagine!" An elder from the Profound Domain spoke in a threatening tone, though fear flickered in his eyes.

The Profound Domain was formidable, with numerous sects within it.

But Qin Yun didn't hesitate—he simply swung his blade!

The remaining Half-Immortals from the Profound Domain were also slain by Qin Yun!

Qin Yun harbored deep hatred for these people from the Profound Domain. Their purpose in coming to the Spirit Wasteland's Mortal Domain was to ally with the Long family and sow chaos, preventing the Mortal Domain's forces from attacking the Profound Domain—even plotting to control the Mortal Domain.

Now, only the Long family remained!

"Speak! Where is Qiao Feng's martial soul?" Qin Yun pressed his blade against the elder's neck and roared.

"You want to take back Long Qiaofeng's dragon-phoenix Martial Soul? Dream on! We've already sent it to the Soaring Dragon Province. If you dare, go to the Long family's headquarters there and try to seize it, hahaha..." The elder's body suddenly began to swell—he was attempting to detonate!

A Half-Immortal's self-destruction was terrifyingly powerful!

Qin Yun lashed out in a flurry of strikes, killing him before he could detonate, then stored the corpse in the second pearl of the Nine Sun Divine Pouch, which was designated for corpses.

Just as Qin Yun finished off the elder, an enraged draconic bellow suddenly echoed from afar!

Whoosh—!

A violent gale swept through, causing commotion as everyone turned toward the source of the sound.

Golden light shimmered in the distance, with golden clouds churning as a colossal golden dragon, over a thousand meters long, soared through the sky, its thunderous roars quaking the skies as it approached with terrifying grandeur.

Reinforcements from the Soaring Dragon Province had arrived!

But they were too late!

Not all members of the Long family had been killed—only their strongest Half-Immortals, Emperor Wu, Martial Kings and Martial Lords had been slaughtered. Many lesser fighters remained inside the Mighty Dragon Manor, cowering in terror.

The reinforcements from the Soaring Dragon Province were also from the Long family, and they had brought a colossal golden dragon with them!

Many present had lived for years without ever seeing a living dragon.

Now, they finally witnessed one—and were stunned by its might!

"Grandfather, how strong is that dragon?" Jian Nanhu asked.

"Beyond measure! Even if we fought with our lives, we couldn't take it down!" Jian Shitian suddenly grew worried for Qin Yun and Lan Suyao.

The Long family members from the Soaring Dragon Province descended into the Mighty Dragon Manor and quickly discovered Qin Yun and Lan Suyao's slaughter at the gates.

Though only three had come, all were Half-Immortals.

They soared into the air, landing atop the massive dragon's head, scowling down at Qin Yun and Lan Suyao.

"Qin Yun! You've butchered so many of our Long family! Even no amount of dying would repay your crimes! We will capture you and torture you for the rest of your life, ensuring you suffer endlessly!" An elder standing on the dragon's head bellowed, his voice seething with rage.

"Long Qiaofeng's dragon martial soul bears the dragon totem I carved! I'll kill anyone who takes her martial soul! Your Long family took her martial soul with no intention of returning it—so I will wipe your entire clan from existence!" Qin Yun's voice seethed with fury toward the Long family of Tenglong Province.

Because Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi had been cursed by none other than the Long family of Tenglong Province.

Lan Suyao's expression turned frosty, her gaze piercingly cold.

"Bwahaha! You think you can destroy our Long family? How naïve! Our Long family of Tenglong Province is the strongest force in the entire Mortal Realm! Don’t assume only your Celestial Armory City has Immortals! Our Long family is guarded by a Celestial Dragon—even if an Immortal came, they would only become food for our Celestial Dragon!" The elder laughed arrogantly.

The Jian family, initially defiant, now backed down in hushed terror upon learning the Long family possessed a Celestial Dragon.
