Chapter 0891 Purple Fire Dragon

Chapter 0891 Purple Flame Serpent

Qin Yun frowned to himself. Though the Qianyun Island Lord's methods were cruel, Ying Chengyu was being ridiculously pathetic.

Despite being an old man his age, he was wailing miserably and speaking in such a cowardly, groveling tone.

But after careful consideration, Qin Yun suspected Ying Chengyu might be faking his weakness!

"This guy must really have an important map in his possession!" Qin Yun thought to himself. Crouched behind a distant boulder, he pondered ways to possibly rescue Ying Chengyu.

He was currently about a thousand meters away from Ying Chengyu—reaching him wouldn't be hard. The real challenge was figuring out how to save him!

The Qianyun Island Lord snorted. "Worthless old worm! If you don’t hand over the map, I'll give you real reasons to scream!"

With that, he produced two long staves.

As the Qianyun Island Lord gripped them tightly, the staves suddenly turned red, emitting waves of scorching heat.

What was even more terrifying was that crackling arcs of lightning surged from the staves!

"Let’s make you cry!" The Qianyun Island Lord forcefully drove one stave into the wound left by the sword.

Ying Chengyu immediately let out blood-curdling shrieks, his wails so heart-wrenching that they made even Qin Yun's skin crawl.

"Is the map in your possession or not?" the Qianyun Island Lord demanded angrily.

"No, it really isn’t with me!" Ying Chengyu wailed piteously.

"Hmph!" The Qianyun Island Lord swung the other stave, striking Ying Chengyu’s body.

With suppression talismans plastered on his body, Ying Chengyu’s energy was sealed, and his hands and feet were bound—he couldn’t resist at all.

Qin Yun couldn't help but pity the man. Ying Chengyu was a powerful Half-Immortal, yet now he had met such a miserable fate!

"Xiao Yun, extract that prisoner and find a way to make him hand over the map!" Ling Yuner said.

"Got it!"

Qin Yun had already devised a plan.

He activated the *Piercing Mystic Art*, phasing through the earth and carefully making his way beneath Ying Chengyu.

Above, Ying Chengyu continued to scream under the relentless electrocution and burning, still insisting he didn’t have the map.

Once Qin Yun reached the spot beneath Ying Chengyu, he activated the *Sky Lion Summoning Technique*, summoning forth four terrifying Netherworld Celestial Lions!

The four lions appeared at four different points on the surface, releasing their Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound the moment they materialized.

This was one of Qin Yun’s trusted tricks from his playbook!

The Netherworld Celestial Lions he summoned were often unleashed to terrify or divert attention.

Their ominous presence and earth-shaking roars easily drew others’ focus.

Sure enough, the Qianyun Island Lord took the bait, just as planned.

"Was that the roar of Sky Lions? It sounded like four of them!"

"It definitely was! I’ve heard their roars preserved in memory crystals before!"

"This desolate land actually hides extinct Sky Lions!"

"It's so vast here, no one has fully explored it. It's normal for Sky Lions to exist!"

Several elders from the Strange Rune Hall exclaimed in shock as they discussed.

The Qianyun Island Lord said excitedly, "Those four Sky Lions shouldn’t be too strong—they should be easy to subdue! Though we couldn’t obtain the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron this time, capturing rare Celestial Beasts like Sky Lions alive is still worth it!"

As they were discussing, they suddenly sensed a faint energy fluctuation from the ground.

They quickly looked at Ying Chengyu, who was lying on the ground, only to see him suddenly vanish—dragged underground by something!

Boom!

The Qianyun Island Lord immediately struck the spot with a palm strike. The Half-Immortal’s overwhelming power blasted deep into the earth, creating a gigantic crater spanning a kilometer!

After successfully grabbing Ying Chengyu, Qin Yun activated the Piercing Mystic Art in an instant to travel underground, instantly moving hundreds of meters away.

The blast's shockwave from the Qianyun Island Lord’s strike still hurled him back, but since he was already hundreds of meters away, he wasn’t hit by the core force.

Qin Yun seized Ying Chengyu and sealed him inside the third bead of the Nine Sun Divine Soul, entrusting Yao Fang to guard him.

One of the Strange Rune Hall elders drew a talisman and hurled it into the air.

The talisman shot forward, locking onto Qin Yun’s position.

Even though Qin Yun was concealed, the talisman still detected him.

"Crap, they’ve locked onto me!" Qin Yun immediately triggered the Vanishing Shadow Ceasing Breath technique and sprinted, but the talisman continued chasing him without pause.

The Qianyun Island Lord and his group abandoned their pursuit of the Netherworld Celestial Lions—they all chased after Qin Yun, following the talisman.

They were shocked that someone could rescue Ying Chengyu right under their watch!

"Xiao Yun, use the Beast-Tracking Talisman!" Ling Yuner shouted. "Find powerful beasts nearby and lure those guys over! Otherwise, you’ll be caught if this keeps up!"

Qin Yun took out a Beast-Tracking Talisman, one he had crafted alongside Jian Linglong and the others.

After activating it, he immediately sensed the direction where beasts were located.

Qin Yun changed course, charging toward the area with beasts.

The Qianyun Island Lord and his group were all Half-Immortals—they were incredibly fast. Only the talisman’s delay slowed them down a bit.

Qin Yun was on edge, a flicker of fear in his chest as he sprinted across the desolate land.

Dawn broke!

Qin Yun entered a barren mountain range, and as soon as he approached, he heard a thunderous roar!

Whoosh!

A middle-aged man in purple robes, shrouded in purple fire, flew out from the mountains!

The purple-robed man saw the eight Half-Immortals in the distance and instantly flared with rage, his body engulfed in violet flames.

ROAR!

A flash of violet light burst from his body, and he transformed into a colossal violet-scaled drake! "This guy… is on the verge of dragonhood!" Ling Yuner gasped. "Beasts that cultivate step by step like this are incredibly strong—he can take those eight on!"

Qin Yun initially wanted to flee, but he thought the Violetflame Drake might be able to take down those eight, so he hid nearby to observe.

Qianyun Island Lord raged and swore, wielding two massive swords as he slashed at the enormous Violetflame Drake wreathed in violet flames.

The Violetflame Drake was formidable—the Half-Immortals’ ranged attacks couldn’t even damage its scales.

The elders from the Rune Hall, though not skilled in combat as Rune Masters, possessed many talismans and enchanted tools.

They hurled those talismans and talisman artifacts from afar.

The massive body of the Violetflame Drake trembled, unleashing waves of violet flames and scorching violet-flame gales that deflected all the talisman strikes.

"Use the Imperial Talismans now!" one elder shouted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The other elders had no choice but to deploy their precious Imperial Talismans, launching them at the drake.

The Imperial Talismans lived up to their power, blasting the Violetflame Drake, forcing it into pained roars as its scales cracked under the assault.

The battle between the eight Half-Immortals and the Violetflame Drake shook the earth like an earthquake!

"This is bad—if this keeps up, the drake will lose!"

Qin Yun, hiding in the distance, watched as the surrounding mountains were flattened; he grew anxious. He then drew the Lion King Cannon.

He still had some Emperor Wu Elixirs, given to him by others.

"These ought to do something!" Qin Yun aimed the Lion King Cannon at one elder and fired.

Boom!

The Emperor Wu Elixir exploded just over a meter in front of the elder, triggering a violent explosion that threw him off balance!

Roar!

Seizing the opportunity, the Violetflame Drake loosed a fireball from its jaws, striking the elder.

The elder, already disoriented by Qin Yun’s Emperor Wu Elixir, was engulfed in the drake’s explosive flames, his body charred and wreathed in purple smoke!

"Perfect!" Qin Yun exulted silently, then continued picking off the remaining enemies with the Lion King Cannon.

Qianyun Island Lord and his group were clueless about the interference—only after the fact did they realize someone was sabotaging them.

Originally, they had a strong chance of defeating the Violetflame Drake!

But now, thanks to Qin Yun’s interference, the drake tore through them one by one!

Qin Yun ran out of Emperor Wu Elixirs, with a twinge of regret.

The eight Half-Immortals were barely clinging to life, their bodies severely wounded by the drake, charred like coal.

The Violetflame Drake was also heavily injured. It opened its maw and devoured six of them, leaving two untouched.

"Those are yours!" the drake bellowed in a rough voice, looking toward Qin Yun’s hiding spot.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Yun sprinted forward, landing beside the two remaining Half-Immortals.

At this moment, the Violet Flame Wyrm also transformed into human form, becoming a middle-aged man clad in purple robes. However, he looked like hell, clearly showing the heavy injuries he had sustained in the earlier battle!

"I could defeat them, and you played a part in it! So these are left for you!" The Violet Flame Wyrm said before flying away, without attacking Qin Yun.

It was evident that the Violet Flame Wyrm was a creature with honor.

Among the two injured Half-Immortals, one was the Qianyun Island Lord. His half-opened eyes widened upon seeing Qin Yun's face, and he rasped, "Qin Yun... you little bastard!"

Qin Yun released Ying Chengyu and tore off the talismans stuck to his chest and back.

Though Ying Chengyu's body had been brutalized, the energy from his Half-Immortal core was still strong. He was also surprised to see Qin Yun.

"Qin Yun? It's actually you... Thanks!" Ying Chengyu said before walking toward the Qianyun Island Lord.

His hands and feet were still bound, making movement difficult, so he could only bounce on him, stomping wildly.

"You old turtle, bastard, son of a bitch, monster... You tortured me, now I'll torture you back!" Ying Chengyu cursed angrily while jumping and stomping on the Qianyun Island Lord.

Before long, the Qianyun Island Lord was finished off by him.

Qin Yun pulled Ying Chengyu aside and said, "Enough, he's dead!"

He retrieved the Qianyun Island Lord's Martial Soul and Half-Immortal core, then killed the other elder from the Strange Pattern Hall, taking his Half-Immortal core and Martial Soul as well.

"Qin Yun, we don’t have any deep-seated hatred between us!" Ying Chengyu laughed. "Get these chains off me!"

"I can’t undo them!" Qin Yun shook his head. "You know damn well how strong those chains are!"

"I... I’ve got a way to break them, but you must return it to me afterward!" Ying Chengyu said. "Qin Yun, relax—once I’m loose, I won’t try to capture you either!"

"I have the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron on me, something you’ve always wanted. I don’t buy your act!" Qin Yun said as he quickly slapped two more talismans onto Ying Chengyu.

After being tagged with the talismans, Ying Chengyu gave a pained grin. "Little brother, you just freed me and let me take revenge. I’m grateful to you—why would I screw you over? Let me go, please!"
