Chapter 2497: Swift Killing
Chapter 2497: Swift Killing
Yun Lintian's eyes flickered with surprise. His guess was correct.
Xia Nongyue's expression turned icy. A cold aura emanated from her, freezing the surrounding air. Her eyes, usually calm and composed, now burned with fierce intensity.
Without a word, Xia Nongyue erupted in cold fury, her figure a blur as she lunged toward Ju Liang. Her sword, a slender blade of moonlight, hummed with chilling energy, its edge tracing a deadly arc through the chaotic air.
Ju Liang remained calm and composed, as if he had anticipated this beforehand. He raised his hand, and a wall of chaotic energy materialized before him, shimmering with an eerie green light.
BANG!!
Xia Nongyue's sword struck the wall with a resounding clang, the force of the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the air. The wall held firm, however, the chaotic energy absorbing the impact of her attack.
Xia Nongyue's aura erupted, and a stream of water appeared around her, forming a water dragon. As she swung her sword down, the water dragon instantly rushed out with its mouth wide open, slamming into the wall.
BOOOOM!!
The chaotic energy wall was instantly shattered, which surprised Ju Liang.
"The combination of the Law of Water and the Law of Destruction? Gentleness and violence coexisting peacefully... What profound understanding you have," Ju Liang praised. He was even more determined to capture Xia Nongyue today.
Ju Liang raised his hand, and the surrounding space suddenly bent and compacted around Xia Nongyue's water dragon.
Xia Nongyue narrowed her eyes slightly and drew her sword back before making a chopping gesture. Instantly, the water dragon broke in half and transformed into two water dragons, rushing out of Ju Liang's confinement.
Ju Liang clenched his fist and punched out. With a bang, the space in front of him shattered, and the two water dragons instantly exploded, scattering into water mist.
The destructive force continued to travel toward Xia Nongyue. She flickered her wrist slightly, and the sword in her hand let out a low hum.
Xia Nongyue swiftly slashed out, drawing a curtain of water around her.
BANG!
The destructive force from Ju Liang's punch slammed into the water curtain, scattering it.
As the water curtain disappeared, Xia Nongyue's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Behind you!" Liu Feng cried out as he saw Xia Nongyue appear behind Ju Liang like a ghost.
Xia Nongyue swung her sword toward Ju Liang's head, drawing a powerful arc that cleaved the space in half.
Ju Liang was unfazed. He calmly raised his hand, and his entire body was instantly enveloped by a chaotic energy wall.
Just as he waited for Xia Nongyue's sword to slam down on the energy wall, Ju Liang suddenly caught a glimpse of countless water swords that had formed from the scattered water curtain earlier. They traveled across space and arrived before him, bombarding his energy wall.
At the same time, Xia Nongyue's sword landed on the energy wall, producing a deafening sound.
BOOOOM!!
A resounding explosion occurred, and the energy wall around Ju Liang was immediately exploded into pieces.
Ju Liang himself didn't expect Xia Nongyue's attacks to be this powerful and cunning. He didn't hesitate to activate his God Mark of Shadow and disappear from the spot, narrowly avoiding Xia Nongyue's deadly slash.
Seeing this scene, Liu Feng and the other man in black, Sun Qi, exchanged glances and prepared to intervene.
Just as they were about to move, Yun Lintian's cold voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
"You can try," Yun Lintian said calmly. His voice was filled with an invisible murderous aura that made Liu Feng and Sun Qi freeze in place.
"You..." Liu Feng wanted to say something, but before he could finish his sentence, Yun Lintian had already appeared in front of him and held his neck tightly.
Liu Feng was shocked and instinctively channeled his divine energy, but he soon discovered that his Divine Core was completely sealed. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Yun Lintian with a horrifying expression.
"You... Monster." He struggled to speak. It was at this moment that he realized how powerful Yun Lintian truly was. He thought that he could at least resist or escape, but the reality was
mocking him.
Sun Qi's expression changed drastically. A broadsword appeared in his hand, and his aura erupted violently. However, before he could make a further move, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Sun Qi subconsciously lowered his head to look at his chest; his eyes immediately widened in shock as he saw a fiery red sword stabbed into his heart. The terrifying crimson flames on the sword began to burn his skin and flesh.
"ARGH!!" Sun Qi howled in pain. He tried to extinguish the flames, but it was futile. He could feel his vitality being burned away rapidly.
Yun Lintian tilted his head to look at Sun Qi and said calmly, "Well, I haven't used this Imperishable Flame for a long time. It's even more powerful."
With the God Mark of Fire and the Sun God's power, the Imperishable Flame had become a deadly flame that even a peak True God like Sun Qi couldn't withstand.
Sun Qi screamed painfully as he watched his body turn to ashes bit by bit. It was definitely the most horrible way to die.
Soon, his entire body was engulfed in flames until he turned to ashes, scattering in the air.
Liu Feng's face lost all color when he saw this scene. He was well aware of Sun Qi's strength. The earlier defeat by Yun Lintian's punch could be a mistake, but this one wasn't. Clearly, Yun Lintian's strength was beyond anyone here. Perhaps he was even stronger than Ju Liang.
"Yun..." He tried to say something but was interrupted by Yun Lintian's cold voice.
"Do you know why I don't kill you?" Yun Lintian asked.
Liu Feng could only look at Yun Lintian in horror.
"Of course, you still have some value. Let's wait for now," Yun Lintian said and turned to look
at Ju Liang and Xia Nongyue.
Ju Liang was surprised when he saw Sun Qi turn to ashes. His evaluation of Yun Lintian had changed again. Yun Lintian's strength might be on par with the top ten Chaos Knights.
Xia Nongyue pressed on. She swung her sword down at Ju Liang, creating a massive waterfall.
Ju Liang knew that he could no longer hold back. A dark purple light suddenly flashed across his eyes, and several black holes emerged around him, swallowing Xia Nongyue's waterfall...
