89: Thunder Venerable has fallen! He has been expelled from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!

The air in the plaza was solidified by this pressure. Xiao Yan clenched his fists, and even the other three Venerables frowned slightly.

Thunder Venerable was prepared to risk everything.

Jiang Luo, however, remained calm. Watching the gargantuan claw of the Thunder Beast that blotted out the sky, the Scarlet Dou Qi around his body suddenly intertwined with Spatial Power, forming a rotating vortex of space.

"Do you really think this mere phantom can harm me?"

Before the words faded, Jiang Luo raised a hand and beckoned towards the vortex. Countless Spatial Blades shot out from it, converging into a black torrent that surged straight toward the Thunder Beast's giant claw.

"Spatial Blade: Countercurrent!"

"Bang—!"

The moment the black torrent collided with the Thunder Beast's giant claw, a deafening explosion erupted.

The phantom claw of the Thunder Beast was continuously sliced by the Spatial Blades. The purple lightning crackled and hissed as it began to dissipate bit by bit.

Seeing this, a flash of madness crossed Thunder Venerable's eyes. He spat out another mouthful of essential blood and roared,

"Shatter for me!"

The Thunder Beast phantom exerted force suddenly, its remaining claw carrying a final trace of destructive power. It broke through the obstruction of the Spatial Blades and continued to smash toward Jiang Luo.

But just as the giant claw neared the top of Jiang Luo's head, his figure vanished suddenly, reappearing the next moment above the head of the Thunder Beast phantom.

"Did you think that by hiding your true body behind the phantom, I wouldn't be able to find you?" Jiang Luo's voice was cold. A dense amount of Spatial Power condensed in his palm. "Space Strangulation: Soul Lock!"

The invisible Spatial Power instantly formed a chain, piercing straight through the Thunder Beast phantom and firmly locking onto the figure of Thunder Venerable inside.

Thunder Venerable's expression changed drastically. He tried to circulate his Dou Qi to break free, but found the spatial chain was like a maggot on a rotting bone—the more he struggled, the tighter it bound him, even making his Dou Qi circulation sluggish.

"No! This old man does not believe it!"

Thunder Venerable roared, attempting to detonate the Thunder Beast phantom to perish together.

But before he could act, Jiang Luo had already brought his hand down, causing the spatial chain to contract violently.

With a crisp "crack," the Thunder Beast phantom instantly dissipated, and Thunder Venerable's protective Dou Qi was completely torn apart.

He crashed heavily to the ground, vomiting blood. Struggling, he looked up at Jiang Luo, his eyes filled with unwillingness and fear. "Who exactly are you? Why is your Spatial Power so terrifying?"

Jiang Luo walked slowly to him, looking down from above. "Who I am is not important. What's important is that the debt of your Wind and Thunder Pavilion should be settled!"

Thunder Venerable lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently, blood soaking the stone slabs beneath him.

He watched Jiang Luo's icy gaze, and the last shred of Luck in his heart dissipated completely. Yet, still unwilling to give up, he roared, "I am a Venerable of the Four Pavilions! If you kill me, Ice River Valley and Heavenly Soul Sect will never let you go! You will pay the price for today's actions!"

"The price?" Jiang Luo sneered, Spatial Power condensing once again at his fingertips. "From the moment your Wind and Thunder Pavilion came to the Han Family to force a marriage, you should have expected today. As for Ice River Valley and Heavenly Soul Sect... if they dare to come, I wouldn't mind letting them follow in your footsteps!"

As his words fell, Jiang Luo raised a hand and clenched it at the empty air toward Thunder Venerable.

The invisible Spatial Power tightened instantly. Thunder Venerable's body shuddered violently, and the crisp sound of shattering bones rang out clearly.

He opened his mouth, but could not make a sound. The unwillingness and fear in his eyes gradually solidified, eventually losing their luster completely.

Thunder Venerable, with his Three-Star Dou Zun cultivation, finally met his end at the summit of Thunder Mountain.

The plaza fell into absolute silence; even the sound of the wind blowing was exceptionally distinct.

Xiao Yan watched this scene before him, his heart struck with incomparable shock.

Lord Jiang Luo's strength was actually so great that he could kill a Dou Zun Expert so easily!

The other three Venerables also had grave expressions. Their gazes toward Jiang Luo were filled with wariness, and no one dared to harbor even a shred of contempt anymore.

Jiang Luo leaned down and waved his hand, a pale blue spatial barrier completely enveloping Thunder Venerable's corpse.

This Dou Zun corpse was perfect for reshaping the Physical Body of Venerable Skyfire.

He pulled the barrier to his side and swept his gaze over the trembling Disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in the plaza, his tone icy. "From now on, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is expunged. If anyone dares to provoke others in the name of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion again, or trouble the Han Family, their fate will be the same as Thunder Venerable!"

The Disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were so terrified that they knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing and begging for mercy, not even daring to lift their heads.
