524: Torture and kill Gongsun Jian

Inside the Treasure Pavilion of Heartless Valley.

"Strange, where is the Young Valley Master?"

An old man wearing black robes, at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Illusions Realm, was searching incessantly on the seventh floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

"He was just here, how could he suddenly disappear?" another old man said with a face full of confusion.

"Do you think he could be Yang Lingchen in disguise?" A hint of doubt also flickered in the eyes of the Old Man in Black Robe.

"Probably not," the other old man spoke up. "If he were Yang Lingchen, this Treasure Pavilion would have been overturned long ago, yet we don't seem to have any losses right now."

"Regardless, let's send a Sound Transmission to the Valley Master first! Report the situation here!"

The Old Man in Black Robe took out a sound transmission talisman.

Suddenly, a tall and straight figure burst out from within a metal pillar. Before the Old Man in Black Robe could react, a palm struck directly against his head.

"Bang...!"

With a bang, the head of the Old Man in Black Robe was blasted into a bloody mist, like a split watermelon.

Seeing this, the other old man was so terrified that he turned and ran outside.

"Die."

A cold light gleamed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. He threw a Heavenly Fiend Fist, and an incomparable Fist Aura, carrying a trace of dazzling light, instantly slammed into the old man's back.

"Pfft...!"

The old man had no power to resist; he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror, and then he slowly collapsed, quickly losing his breath.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Lingchen collected both of their Souls into the yellow springs diagram.

"Mami mami hong, Ruyi, Ruyi, as I wish."

Yang Lingchen recited a mantra toward the haotian cudgel and then infused his natal essence blood into it.

"Shrink!"

As soon as Yang Lingchen spoke, the haotian cudgel began to shrink continuously until he gripped it in his hand.

"haotian cudgel, from now on, you shall accompany me to pierce through this firmament." A trace of an overbearing Aura that looked down upon the world gleamed in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

He then began to sweep through the Treasure Pavilion of Heartless Valley.

Yang Lingchen wasn't interested in anything below the seventh floor of the Treasure Pavilion. After clearing out the seventh floor, he rushed directly toward the eighth floor.

The moment Yang Lingchen rushed into the eighth floor of the Treasure Pavilion, the Heartless Valley Old Ancestor Gongsun Jian and Valley Master Valley Master immediately noticed the anomaly and flew toward the Treasure Pavilion.

As one of the most important places in Heartless Valley, the Treasure Pavilion contained Soul imprints left by the two of them. Once an outsider invaded, they would receive the news immediately.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was like a swarm of locusts; everywhere he went, all valuable items were transferred into the Haotian Domain Space.

In less than ten breaths, he had completely emptied the eighth floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Having finished, Yang Lingchen continued to rush toward the ninth layer.

When he reached the ninth layer of the Treasure Pavilion, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked him.

"A mere trash Formation thinks it can stop me."

A hint of disdain curled at the corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth. He continuously performed hand seals and then gave a gentle push, entering the ninth layer of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Damn, so many good things."

Looking at the various precious Secret Treasures, Yang Lingchen was instantly delighted.

"Little Bastard, you're looking for death."

Just then, an earth-shattering roar came from outside the Treasure Pavilion, and immediately afterward, Gongsun Jian's figure rushed toward the ninth layer.

Yang Lingchen frowned slightly and, without further hesitation, quickly began his sweep.

"Little Bastard, today you will undoubtedly die."

Gongsun Jian roared, his figure like lightning as he instantly charged toward Yang Lingchen.

Yang Lingchen completely ignored him. Utilizing his speed advantage, he darted back and forth within the ninth layer, and in nearly less than ten breaths, he had transferred all the precious items into the haotian jade space.

"Ah... ah...! This seat will exterminate your entire clan!" Gongsun Jian roared in complete fury.

At this moment, Gongsun Mo also appeared on the ninth layer of the Treasure Pavilion. When he saw Yang Lingchen actually fighting with his Old Ancestor, his eyes were filled with shock.

One must know that the last time he saw Yang Lingchen, the latter's cultivation level was only at the ninth layer of the Xuanzun Realm.

Now, only a few months had passed, and Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had actually reached the Myriad Illusions Realm Fourth Layer, and his Combat Power was already on par with his Old Ancestor.

Such a Heaven-Defying talent caused Valley Master to feel a deep sense of fear.

At this moment, he even felt a bit of regret that he shouldn't have snatched Yang Lingchen's yellow springs diagram back then.

On the other side, after emptying the entire ninth layer of the Treasure Pavilion, Yang Lingchen directly engaged in battle with Gongsun Jian.

He swung the haotian cudgel and smashed it heavily toward Gongsun Jian from the air.

The fierce staff energy, carrying a dazzling light, seemed as if it would blast the Void Realm apart.

From the moment he attacked, Yang Lingchen felt the extraordinary nature of the haotian cudgel. Compared to it, describing the heaven-reaching staff as a fire poker wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Facing Yang Lingchen's mid-air strike, Gongsun Jian frowned slightly; his intuition told him this staff was very dangerous.

Therefore, Gongsun Jian immediately took out a high-level defensive Divine Artifact and moved to meet Yang Lingchen's haotian cudgel.

"Rumble...!"

Two massive forces collided, producing a violent explosion.

Under the strike of the haotian cudgel, Gongsun Jian's defensive Divine Artifact was directly cracked and completely ruined.

Yang Lingchen took the absolute initiative in this strike. Without pausing for a moment, he continuously swung the haotian cudgel, sweeping toward the opponent once again.

Gongsun Jian shifted his body to the left while a long spear appeared in his hand, instantly thrusting toward Yang Lingchen. The speed was so fast it made one's vision blur; the cold spear shadow was incredibly sharp, as if it would pierce through the air, heading straight for Yang Lingchen's neck.

At this moment, Gongsun Jian had exerted all his strength because Yang Lingchen made him feel a profound sense of crisis. If he didn't give his all, he might very well perish in this battle.

Yang Lingchen blocked with the haotian cudgel, easily parrying Gongsun Jian's powerful strike, and simultaneously unleashed a Soul Devouring Slash.

"Boom...!"

The Soul Devouring Slash, carrying an invisible soul blade, instantly attacked Gongsun Jian's Sea of Consciousness.

In that instant, Gongsun Jian fell into a brief state of daze.

Suddenly, Yang Lingchen's haotian cudgel struck from the air, whipping straight toward Gongsun Jian's head.

"Old Ancestor, watch out!"

Valley Master seeing this, hurriedly shouted.

Hearing the voice, Gongsun Jian snapped his eyes open, but by then, Yang Lingchen's haotian cudgel was already before his eyes.

"Bang...!"

A crisp sound of explosion rang out, and Gongsun Jian's head was sent flying like a baseball by Yang Lingchen's strike.

Coincidentally, as if guided by navigation, the head slammed into Valley Master's chest.

Valley Master, whose cultivation level was only at the First Layer of Dominator Realm, had no resistance at all. He was sent flying backwards by Gongsun Jian's head, crashing heavily into a rockery outside the Treasure Pavilion.

Before even hitting the ground, disregarding his injuries, Valley Master fled in panic.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen's image in his mind had become more terrifying than an ancient Vicious Beast.

To Valley Master, his Old Ancestor had always been a god-like existence. Now that he had been struck dead by Yang Lingchen's staff, one could imagine the fear in his heart.

"Fuck your mother, you think you can escape before me!"

Yang Lingchen snorted coldly, his figure turning into a bolt of lightning as he instantly pounced toward the other, his speed jaw-dropping.

In less than a breath, Yang Lingchen blocked Valley Master's path.

"Valley Master Gongsun, where do you think you're going?" A cold sneer curled on Yang Lingchen's lips.
