110: My Godly Father (Chapter 41)

Quan Yun transformed into a life-claiming ghost, shuttling through every corner of the Meteorite Plain.

His targets were no longer limited to the Jiang Family Disciples.

He began to seize the opportunities of many Prodigies because thirty years ago, after he obtained the Sword Scripture, those Prodigies had not let him off either.

His style of action was cold and ruthless, leaving no room for negotiation.

This caused panic to spread rapidly within the Secret Realm.

“Someone else has been killed! It’s Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family's Divine Body! He was one of the most outstanding Disciples of the Jiang Family's current generation; it’s said he had hope of charging into the God Realm!”

“It's not just the Jiang Family! Lu Yu of the Heavenly Net Blessed Land is also dead! The Star Essence Soul he worked so hard to obtain was taken along with his life!”

“Who on earth is the killer? He seems to be indiscriminately hunting all the top Prodigies!”

Within the Meteorite Plain, people were in a state of constant anxiety.

They no longer searched for treasures as recklessly as before, but instead began to move in groups of three to five, carefully avoiding every possible danger.

The existence of a mysterious slaughterer made them feel more chilled to the bone than any known exotic beast or Forbidden Ground in the Secret Realm.

Quan Yun didn't care at all about the panic in the outside world.

To him, killing and seizing treasures was merely taking back the 'interest' that should have belonged to him thirty years ago.

His footsteps crossed one meteorite belt after another, his Divine Soul sensing every flicker of energy fluctuation in the Secret Realm.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

At the edge of his perception, in a core area shrouded by a broken star ring, an energy fluctuation that made even him feel a bit moved was transmitted.

It was an aura that was pure, ancient, and contained the power of the Law of Space.

Quan Yun's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already outside that broken star ring.

In the center of the star ring, a fist-sized crystal was suspended, its entire body brilliant as if compressed from countless stars.

A Star Core Fragment.

A sharp light flashed in Quan Yun's eyes.

If he could refine it, it would be of inestimable benefit to his comprehension of 'Momentum' and his Breakthrough to the Guiyi Realm.

However, those who had their eyes on this Star Core Fragment were not few in number.

At this moment, nearly a hundred Prodigies had gathered here, divided into more than a dozen large and small camps, confronting each other in a tense atmosphere.

Quan Yun restrained all his aura, merging his figure into the shadows, quietly observing the situation.

With his current cultivation and perfect control over his aura, he was confident that even if a Guiyi Realm powerhouse were present, they might not necessarily discover his tracks.

However, just as he hid his figure, a slightly seductive female voice rang in his ear without any warning.

“Fellow Daoist, your strength is extraordinary and your concealment skills are top-notch. How about the two of us join forces to seek this Opportunity together?”

Quan Yun was startled.

He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction the voice came from.

Without him knowing when, a woman with a seductive figure and exquisite beauty had quietly appeared and stood less than three feet away from him.

The woman wore a purple long dress that perfectly outlined her curvaceous body.

Her eyes were lively, and every frown or smile carried a naturally born sense of charm.

The moment the woman appeared, Quan Yun actually felt his always-calm Heart-Nature ripple.

The blood and Qi in his body also felt a bit restless.

It was a charm technique.

Quan Yun reacted instantly; this woman had Cultivated some extremely sophisticated charm Cultivation Technique.

He felt some dissatisfaction in his heart, and his Divine Soul power vibrated slightly.

“Hmph.”

A cold snort, like a clap of thunder, exploded directly within the woman's Sea of Consciousness.

The woman's face turned slightly pale, and she hurriedly withdrew the charm aura she was unconsciously emitting, the surprise in her eyes growing deeper.

She could sense that Quan Yun's strength was unfathomable. She had originally wanted to test him slightly, but she hadn't expected the other party's Divine Soul power to be so overbearing.

Just a single cold snort almost caused her mind to falter.

“This humble one is Su Meier. I meant no offense, I only saw that Fellow Daoist's strength is high and thus wished to make your acquaintance.”

Su Meier gave Quan Yun a graceful bow, keeping her posture very low.

She was an extremely clever woman.

She knew that in front of this man whose depth she couldn't see through, any small tricks were redundant.

Su Meier possessed the extremely special 'Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart' Divine Body, and her perception of various auras and energies far exceeded ordinary people, which was also the reason she could discover Quan Yun's tracks.

Her cultivation had also reached the Heavenly Spirit Realm Late Stage, making her undoubtedly among the top tier of the Prodigies who entered the Secret Realm this time.

Quan Yun's gaze fell on Su Meier, his eyes cold, and he didn't speak.

To him, so-called joining forces was meaningless.

The people present were merely a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

“Fellow Daoist, I know you are powerful, but there are over a hundred Prodigies present, including many Divine Bodies and even several Core Disciples from major powers joining forces. Trying to seize the treasure by yourself might not be easy.”

Seeing that Quan Yun was unmoved, Su Meier spoke again, her voice sincere.

“If we join forces, you lead the attack and I will assist from the side. With the power of my Divine Body, I can gain insight into the situation for you and find their weaknesses. After it's done, the Star Core Fragment belongs to you, and I only want the other Opportunities they carry.”

The conditions she offered were extremely sincere.

Quan Yun looked at her and finally nodded.

It wasn't that he was moved by her words, but rather that he suddenly felt this seemed a bit more interesting.

Killing alone was, after all, somewhat boring.

At this moment, the situation in the field finally erupted.

To fight for the ownership of the Star Core Fragment, the Prodigies from the dozen or so camps boldly attacked.

“Kill!”

The light of Divine Abilities instantly illuminated this starry sky, and the roar of Magic Treasures was incessant.

A chaotic battle thus began.

“Fellow Daoist, it's our turn.”

An excited light flashed in Su Meier's eyes.

Quan Yun didn't speak, but his figure moved, turning into an afterimage as he actively charged into the most chaotic battlefield.

He didn't draw his sword.

He just used his fingers like a sword, casually slashing out.

Swoosh!

A seemingly ordinary Sword Qi actually contained an incomprehensibly terrifying sharpness.

A Heavenly Spirit Realm Middle Stage Prodigy didn't even see Quan Yun's movements clearly before his protective spiritual light was instantly torn apart, and his body was cut in half at the waist.

Blood dyed the starry sky red.

He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep; every time he attacked, a Prodigy would inevitably fall.

Su Meier followed closely behind, but her fighting style was completely different.

Her movement technique was erratic, like a ghost, always appearing in the enemy's most unexpected positions.

At the same time, her invisible charm power quietly spread out, causing the Prodigies facing her to be dazed and their movements to become sluggish.

And this moment of distraction was a fatal flaw in front of Quan Yun.

The two of them, one attacking and one assisting, cooperated seamlessly.

“Thirty yards to the front left, that man in the gold robe has a Divine Body and has cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King Body. His Physical Body is extremely strong!”

Su Meier's voice rang in Quan Yun's ear.

Quan Yun turned his gaze and looked at the gold-robed man.

The other party was currently withstanding the siege of several Prodigies, his whole body radiating golden light, showing the posture of an invincible god of war.

Quan Yun flicked his finger.

An extremely thin Sword Qi shot through the air.

The gold-robed man sensed danger and roared, pushing the Immovable Wisdom King Body to its limit.

However, it was useless.

The Sword Qi seemed weak, but it accurately penetrated all his defenses and flashed through his forehead.

The gold-robed man's movements came to a screeching halt.

The divine light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and a fine bloodline slowly appeared at his forehead.

He crashed to the ground.

Another Divine Body had fallen.

This slaughter lasted for a full incense stick's time.

When the last Prodigy turned into flying ash under Quan Yun's sword, this broken star ring finally returned to dead silence.

Of nearly a hundred Prodigies, none survived.

A thick smell of blood permeated the cold starry sky.

Looking at this asura-field-like scene, even with Su Meier's extraordinary Heart-Nature, she couldn't help but feel a burst of palpitations.

She looked at the man standing with his hands behind his back, his clothes spotless, her eyes full of wariness.

“According to the agreement, the Star Core Fragment is yours.”

Quan Yun acted very indifferently. He reached out his hand, and the Star Core Fragment suspended in the center flew towards him.

Su Meier also began to quickly clean up the battlefield, collecting the storage Magic Treasures of the fallen Prodigies one by one, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

Everything seemed to have settled.

Just as Quan Yun was about to take the Star Core Fragment into his possession.

A sudden change occurred!

Several attacks that were hidden extremely deep and contained destructive auras shot out from all directions without any warning.

A pitch-black demonic spear pierced through the Void Realm, pointing directly at his back.

An invisible large net descended from the sky, carrying the power of the Law that sealed everything.

There was even a weird curse power that ignored spatial distance and directly acted upon his Divine Soul.

All the attacks accurately locked onto Quan Yun, the timing grasped to perfection, precisely at the moment when his mind was most relaxed.

The ambush came suddenly.

Fatal killing intent instantly enveloped Quan Yun.
