Chapter 561: Chapter 560: A Thankless Task!
Feeling as if her whole body was being torn apart by pain, Yun Ran couldn’t help but curse under her breath.
[This wasn’t in the notes. This Flower Demon is so strong, despite using all my strength, I can barely suppress it!]
The trapped Flower Demon struggled incessantly, turning the originally round ball of light into something resembling an enlarged virus.
Yun Ran’s sudden move caught others off guard, but now they have all reacted.
Seeing that the Flower Demon couldn’t be suppressed for the time being, He Tu struggled to sit up and gave Yun Ran a deep look.
Then, grabbing his cracked Magic Artifact, he charged directly towards the light ball that was shifting into various shapes.
He snorted lightly, saying, "Young people are unreliable after all; old folks like me are still needed for an extra push!"
Hearing this, Yun Ran suddenly understood why many of these old monsters with deep Dao progress eventually chose to live in seclusion.
It’s not just that they are neither good nor evil, with little restraint in their hearts or actions.
More so, it’s because they really don’t know how to talk. Despite risking their lives to help, they had to add an unpleasant comment.
Aside from some Xuanmen people with low talent and rank who are also quite dull.
The other Xuanmen people, even if not the elite among elites, are at least capable of overwhelming numerous others.
Who can stand such snide comments, even with mockery and suppression, unless they’re a masochist?
Those decent-minded Xuanmen people would just feel uncomfortable and keep their distance from such toxic talkers in the future.
But those with a petty nature or not good-natured themselves could hold grudges, and might seize a chance to harm here and there.
In the end, they reduced their credit from ten to three, becoming annoying to the point where no one wants to associate with them.
The other old monsters regained their composure, noticing Yun Ran’s action, their eyes flickering with dark intent.
Weighing their options, whether to assist Yun Ran in eliminating the Flower Demon.
Or conserve their strength until Yun Ran falls, then reap her treasures.
At this moment, Wanqi Yu wiped the blood from his lips and drew the sword his adoptive father had given him.
He cast a sharp glance toward Ming Shaoqiu and then at the old monsters on the ground who hadn’t completely recovered.
With a resolute and cold tone, he declared, "Anyone who wants to take advantage must ask this Godslayer Sword I’m holding first!"
When the Godslayer Sword was in its sheath, no one noticed anything special about it.
Thus, initially, no one took Wanqi Yu’s sword seriously.
Now, as he unsheathed it, the blade’s full edge was revealed, subtly threatening everyone present.
Ming Shaoqiu clutched his faintly aching chest, visibly shaken by the menacing Godslayer Sword. He lowered his eyelids.
In that moment, he was extremely grateful that they had switched to large numbers before.
Otherwise, today, they might all have perished under that sword.
Almost instantly, Ming Shaoqiu made a decision, forcibly suppressing his reluctance and masking his emotions.
Then he stood up, taking out his Magic Artifact.
Righteously, he said, "That’s right! Whoever wants to take advantage must step over my dead body first!"
Old monsters: ...
Well, isn’t this blatantly pointing at them?
Obviously, they were the ones fighting initially, and they got the most seriously injured.
Just because they hesitated momentarily and didn’t charge in blindly, now these young ones suspect them?
A few of them were a little amused by this, see, they said one should never rush to do good deeds, otherwise, it’s a futile effort!!!
Now, they are cast as the unpopular character in and out.
If only they weren’t gravely wounded now, and their belongings hadn’t all but been destroyed.
And given the other holds the Godslayer Sword and doesn’t seem to be some small fry, they wouldn’t endure this frustration!
These old monsters who had never been so wronged could only forcibly turn their heads.
Not wanting to see this distressing scene anymore, out of sight, out of mind!
At this moment, He Tu’s Magic Artifact completely shattered, causing backlash to strike him, turning his complexion ashen.
As the Flower Demon was about to burst through the confining light ball, Yun Ran’s Heavenly Thunder Order finally locked onto the Flower Demon’s scent.
With a swish, it teleported above the light ball, expanding to the size of a giant door.
The bloody aura surrounding the Heavenly Thunder Order simultaneously confined the backlash of cause and effect within its grasp.
Now, everything was ready except the crucial moment!
Wanqi Yu didn’t know what Yun Ran intended to do, but he continued to vigilantly watch everyone with unabated focus.
Yun Ran, however, disregarded the thoughts of those around her, seeing that the time was right.
She swiftly drew a talisman and shouted sternly, "Heavenly Punishment, descend!"
As Yun Ran’s voice fell, everyone present suddenly felt a blinding flash before their eyes, and then they knew nothing.
It was unclear how much time passed before Wanqi Yu felt raindrops hitting his body, prompting him to suddenly open his eyes.
He saw that he was lying next to a gigantic stone pit, his clothes completely soaked, indicating that it had been raining for a long time.
He hurriedly checked around, noticing the scene before him looked entirely different from before he fainted.
Wanqi Yu soon saw his companions, all lying on the ground, neither alive nor dead, and his heart tightened.
"Wake up!"
Fortunately, they soon came around, though their gazes at Wanqi Yu were briefly disoriented.
"Young master, what happened to me?"
They quickly recalled seeing a flash of light before passing out.
Seeing the surrounding situation, everyone was dumbfounded, this...
One person, voice trembling with fear or possibly cold from being drenched.
"Young master, was this done by that lady?"
At that moment, no words could describe the shock inside him, while everyone usually fought with Magic Artifacts, occasionally using talismans—these were normal means.
But this lady, going straight for the immortal cultivation method!
This is Heavenly Thunder, something everyone avoids, and it just fell like that, vivid and forceful.
And they were so close to the Heavenly Thunder just now...
Just thinking about it, several shivered in fear again.
