I really didn't expect this... No, I actually should have. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest!
Not everyone in this world has a clear head.
This is the norm.
Seeing Tang Yizhou suddenly get bewitched and even wanting to seize his cultivation method, Li Yun was instantly speechless.
He truly didn't want to see others as fools.
But this Tang Yizhou insisted on being a fool, so what could he do?
"Bastard, what do you mean?"
"Are you saying I don't have a clear head?"
"I think you're looking for death. Alright, I'll let you truly experience what it means to be crushed by a Transcendent Realm expert right now. Your so-called invincibility below the Innate realm is just a joke in front of a true Transcendent Realm expert!"
Boom!
Seeing that Li Yun seemed to look down on him and even had a bored expression, Tang Yizhou was enraged. He immediately drew his sword and instantly unleashed a continuous curtain of sword light.
It should be said that Tang Yizhou wasn't completely a fool either.
That night, he had seen Li Yun from afar below Flying Goose Tower, using an Innate sword technique to unleash an effect close to a Sword Domain to defeat Ye Tianxie. Yet, he still dared to disregard Li Yun like this because he had enough confidence and assurance.
He came from the major sect Canghai Sword Sect in Nanchi Prefecture, and was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Canghai Sword Sect.
His cultivation had reached Transcendent Realm Seventh Level!
Moreover, after reversing from Houtian to Innate, he also had a fortuitous encounter once, having consumed a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, the Three-Colored Abalone Mushroom. Therefore, his Innate True Qi quality reached sixth grade.
Relying on Innate True Qi of middle-third grade quality, he cultivated three Innate sword techniques concurrently. One top-tier sword technique reached the Great Accomplishment realm, while two mid-grade sword techniques in the Transcendent Realm both reached the Perfection realm.
His overall strength among the Transcendent Realm Inner Sect Disciples of the Canghai Sword Sect was definitely considered powerful, enough to rank among the top fifty.
If this level of strength couldn't handle a mere Houtian Martial Artist, wouldn't that be a joke?
"Angry Waves!"
"Thousand Strikes!"
The continuous curtain of sword light spread out, instantly forming a powerful sword momentum of raging waves crashing against the sky, transforming the area within a one-mile radius into a sea of angry waves.
Extremely terrifying!
So much so that the four surrounding True Qi Realm Martial Artists were scared and retreated in a hurry, fearing that if they got too close, they would accidentally be swept into the sword momentum.
They didn't want to be torn into pieces by the terrifying raging force of that sword momentum.
Only Li Yun stood his ground, like a hundred-zhang reef that had stood in the vast sea for thousands of years without moving an inch, unfazed by the currents of the sea, and unmoved by waves crashing a thousand feet high.
Like a mountain standing firm, like an abyss deep and still!
"Is that all?"
"Then, how will Your Excellency respond when I unleash this sword?"
Li Yun smiled faintly.
The ancient sword suddenly unsheathed in an instant like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss. The sword light was like a dragon, illuminating the sky with a hundred zhang of light, and abruptly transformed into a majestic mountain, standing tall and sheer, with the momentum to suppress the vast earth!
"Mountain Suppressing Sword!"
If Zhao Xiaohan, that Outer Sect Disciple from Heavenly Martial Sect, were here, he would be extremely shocked. The Innate sword technique created by the Zhao Family ancestor back then had actually been cultivated by Li Yun.
And it wasn't just as simple as cultivating it successfully.
It was Perfection, and even sublimation after Perfection.
With a thought, he could use a heavy Sword Intent as deep as a ten-thousand-zhang mountain, merge it with Innate True Qi, and simulate a majestic mountain suppressing the sky!
This single sword strike instantly emptied all the air in the area within dozens of meters, forcibly creating a vacuum zone.
In this space.
Only an incomparably heavy sword momentum remained, crushing downwards, unstoppable and overwhelming!
Bang!
Without any warning, Tang Yizhou directly fell headfirst to the ground, face-planting on the spot.
What sword techniques, what sword curtains.
All of them were crushed!
Even Tang Yizhou's body rapidly twisted and deformed under this terrifying suppressive force. As the spine on his back broke, he let out a mournful scream on the spot.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
The sound was filled with pain and terror.
At this moment.
Tang Yizhou fell into deep fear, his eyes filled with regret.
"You... you've actually reversed to Innate, and your Innate True Qi quality is so high. Even your sword technique... you've cultivated a true Sword Domain?"
"Correct, but there's no prize!"
Li Yun smiled calmly, and the ancient sword descended with a terrifying momentum, without the slightest delay.
No one knew.
After several days of crazy stat allocation, just how far had the overall strength of Li Yun, who was supposed to be a newly advanced Transcendent Realm Martial Artist, reached?
Just the Mountain Suppressing Sword, which he had barely used after learning it, was directly pushed to its limit by him.
Perfection, sublimation.
Coupled with extremely high-grade first-rank Innate True Qi.
A true Sword Domain was almost naturally cultivated, it was just that Li Yun hadn't had the chance to encounter a truly decent opponent yet, and hadn't had the chance to display it.
It was enjoyed by this Tang Yizhou.
In the Sword Domain formed by the Mountain Suppressing Sword, under the domineering and unparalleled Domain rules of heavy crushing and absolute control killing, Tang Yizhou couldn't even keep his remaining body parts.
He was directly crushed and exploded, flesh and blood flying, and then instantly shredded and evaporated by the endless Sword Qi.
What remained was nothing more than a pool of blood.
Scattered on the grassland ground, it was quickly absorbed and disappeared without a trace.
The only thing that could still prove Tang Yizhou had been here was a damaged treasure sword, lying quietly on the ground.
"Hiss..."
The four True Qi Realm Martial Artists beside them were instantly so scared by this scene that they all collapsed onto the ground.
Like mud, their faces were full of terror.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen Transcendent Realm Martial Artists before, but in their understanding, Transcendent Realm Martial Artists simply couldn't possess such terrifying strength.
Li Yun had completely exceeded the scope!
If someone said he wasn't in the Transcendent Realm but the Spirit Cocoon Realm, they would believe it.
"Young Lord Dongyang, please spare us, we know we were wrong..."
"You are indeed wrong. With your mistakes, you successfully caused the death of a Transcendent Realm Martial Artist. Since that's the case, what face do you have left to live?"
"People should be loyal and righteous..."
Li Yun glanced disdainfully at the two Nanchi Prefecture Martial Artists. The ancient sword swept towards them without hesitation, directly obliterating these two fools as well.
Seeing Li Yun was so ruthless.
The two Eastern Cloud Continent Martial Artists who had originally been seeking help from Li Yun were trembling with fear. They actually knelt on the ground and desperately begged Li Yun for mercy.
Li Yun was speechless.
He sheathed the ancient sword.
"Gentlemen, may I ask why you are begging for mercy?"
"Ah..."
The two Eastern Cloud Continent Martial Artists, who were kowtowing like pounding garlic, suddenly froze and stiffened.
They only just realized it.
That's right, it wasn't them who wanted to rob Li Yun, so why were they begging for mercy?
For a moment, they were so embarrassed they wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it.
