Chapter 77: Intimidating the Peerless Dragon and Serpent!

The three quickly arrived before Yu Tianyun, and upon seeing the scene, they were all greatly startled.

Yu Tianyun's both arms and the huge Dragon Wings behind him made the three gape in astonishment.

Even the mess strewn across the ground was temporarily pushed from their minds; the three fixed their gazes tightly on Yu Tianyun, as if trying to see through him completely.

Yu Tianyun, naked above the waist, had a cold, stern face and an upright bearing that was unforgettable. Zhao Tianxiang glanced at him, recognized him, and said in a deep voice: "It's you! A kid following the immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji's group—who exactly are you, and did you kill that Human‑faced Demon Spider?"

"My Human‑faced Demon Spider?"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Yiran only then realized and let out a startled cry. She struggled to shift her gaze from Yu Tianyun's handsome face to the surrounding devastation. Her complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

She saw severed limbs and broken legs scattered everywhere, several huge craters dotting the ground as if struck by meteors, dark green slime covering the earth, a foul stench crawling into her nostrils. And the dissected corpse of the Human‑faced Demon Spider.

"Wow!" she could no longer endure; a strong wave of nausea flooded her, and she immediately vomited a large mouthful.

Her stomach roiled like a raging sea; just as she expelled one mouthful, another uncontrollable vomit surged out, as if she were about to spit out her own intestines.

Seeing her granddaughter in such a state, Zhao Tianxiang could not even question Yu Tianyun and hurriedly offered comfort.

After a while, she finally calmed Meng Yiran. But Meng Yiran no longer dared to look at the ground's wreckage; she averted her gaze, stealing a few glances at Yu Tianyun.

She hadn't expected such a handsome man to brutally slaughter a Human‑faced Demon Spider; she pursed her tiny cherry lips, wanting to say something, yet didn't know how to begin.

Meng Shu, a man who had weathered great storms, was naturally unfazed by the gruesome sight of the Human‑faced Demon Spider.

His expression solemn, his authority unspoken, he thundered in a deep voice: "Kid, quickly tell me who you are, which sect you come from. You killed the Human‑faced Demon Spider that had been tracking us; if you don't give a proper explanation, don't blame this old man for being unkind!"

Yu Tianyun, unafraid of Meng Shu's threat, let his internal qi flow, releasing his soul power as a crackling thunderous sound erupted around him, then he smiled calmly and said, "Then I'll tell you who I am!"

"Aaa~" an exhilarating dragon roar erupted from Yu Tianyun's mouth, and a sweeping, all‑covering Dragon might followed!

Immediately, the soul power of the peerless Dragon and Snake trio—grandfather, father, and grandson—became much sluggish, as if their own martial souls were trembling, a feeling of a lower‑rank martial soul submitting to a higher‑rank one. The expression of Dragon Lord Meng Shu changed drastically; his entire soul power surged rapidly as he strained to resist this pressure, feeling his strength at least thirty percent restrained! The snake old lady Zhao Tianxiang trembled all over; her power was suppressed even more severely, and she felt she could barely muster even fifty percent of her strength. Her gaze at Yu Tianyun was filled with deep dread and disbelief.

Meng Yiran's reaction was the worst; she was instantly stunned by Yu Tianyun's Dragon might, collapsing onto the ground, unable to release her martial soul at all.

Yu Tianyun's Dragon might did not last long; after seeing the three looking disheveled, he reined in his aura. As for why he did so? "Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire." Since the peerless Dragon and Snake couple had been the ones to first issue a threat, Yu Tianyun naturally would not give them a pleasant expression; a preliminary show of force could make the other side temper themselves. Only those with equal strength have the right to sit down and converse properly!

After reining in the Dragon might, Yu Tianyun still wore a calm expression, as if the one who had just suppressed the strong Soul Master was not him, and a light voice came from his mouth: "The world‑renowned peerless Dragon and Snake couple of the Soul Master World, now you know my identity, don't you? This Human‑faced Demon Spider voluntarily ran to attack me, and I killed it—naturally! Moreover, this Human‑faced Demon Spider possessed over two thousand years of cultivation; can your granddaughter even absorb it? If you still demand an explanation, I will one day pay you a visit, and then…"

Yu Tianyun did not finish his sentence; to continue would be without decorum, and if neither side could speak further they'd have to act directly. Although his Dragon might had stunned the couple, the power he displayed was still insufficient for Meng Shu to treat this seemingly youthful man with caution.

More importantly, Yu Tianyun's just‑revealed traits were unmistakable, exposing his background! It made Meng Shu consider whether a single Human‑faced Demon Spider was worth antagonizing the forces behind Yu Yuanzhen! At this moment, Meng Shu felt rather awkward; from the thunder swirling around Yu Tianyun and the intensely dense Dragon might, five words inevitably flashed in his mind: Blue Electric Tyrannosaur!

Besides this martial soul, Meng Shu could not think of any other martial soul that combined lightning attributes with such a dense Dragon might! At this moment, he also silently thanked that his earlier words had not overly offended anyone.

The youngster before him was surely backed by the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect, and he had some knowledge of the sect's Dragon Transformation secret technique.

This youth, having already undergone Dragon Transformation to sprout Double Wings at such an age, must be an unparalleled prodigy of the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect! His status must be extremely high! He could even be the direct grandson of Yu Yuanzhen! However, this is the Star Dou Great Forest; if we were to kill or capture him here, who would know? Meng Shu couldn't help thinking that, but then he saw Yu Tianyun's massive wings behind him and sighed again. The opponent had already Dragon‑transformed Double Wings, and with his Dragon might suppressing him, it was uncertain whether we could keep him!

At that moment, an awkward smile crept onto Meng Shu's aged face, and he said, "So you're the young master of the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect; it was all a misunderstanding. That two‑thousand‑year‑old Human‑faced Demon Spider is indeed beyond what my granddaughter can absorb. Thank you for the reminder! As for any explanations, let's pretend we never said a word."

After Meng Shu finished, Yu Tianyun nodded and said, "Then we part ways here!"

With that, Yu Tianyun shook his two wings, and in the blink of an eye vanished into the night.

Meng Shu, seeing Yu Tianyun's swift flight, was a bit more shocked, and a hint of relief appeared on his face. He turned and said to the snake old lady, "Old woman, bring Yiran with us; let's leave now. Fortunately we didn't directly confront the opponent. That Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect youngster's speed is so fast, we might not have been able to keep him! Sigh, I only hope he bears us no grudge."

Zhao Tianxiang nodded, fully agreeing with Meng Shu's words; she hadn't expected that a random encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest could be a core disciple of a major sect! They had even threatened, and now it only caused lingering fear.

After sighing, Zhao Tianxiang's kind gaze fell on Meng Yiran: "Our granddaughter has a hard fate; she missed the Phoenix‑tail Rooster Comb Snake and now the Human‑faced Demon Spider is gone. This time we'll keep our distance, hoping no further accidents occur."

Meng Yiran said nothing, her mood very low, no longer bringing up the Human‑faced Demon Spider, merely casting a glance toward the direction Yu Tianyun had departed.

Yu Tianyun's cold, stern visage, his overwhelming strength, his unhurried demeanor, and his ruthless methods have already been deeply etched into her heart.

The girl, unsure of her own thoughts, was no longer angry at all, and then quickly left together with the Dragon Lord and the snake old lady.
