Chapter 74: Others Dare Not Kill, I Will!

Yao Dian, Xia You, and Yu Fen were nearly driven mad with anger, roaring like a three‑headed wounded beast.

Come to think of it, after Linglong Immortal Patriarch defected from the Taiyi Sect and fought a world‑shaking battle against many of the sect's great powers, causing the Linglong Calamity, the Taiyi Sect has not suffered such a huge loss in three thousand years.

Even though the Taiyi Sect has over a thousand true‑disciple members, losing ten at once is an unbearable pain.

It is an even greater humiliation!

If spread, the sect's prestige would be shattered.

"No one dares to move a Taiyi Sect disciple? Then I'll move! Others won't kill, I will kill!"

Chen Zheng's expression turned cold; a thunderous roar shook the mountains and rivers, cutting off the three's howls.

Simultaneously the "Yi" rune inside him shifted, turning into a black‑red long robe that draped over his body, exuding rolling demonic aura that spread everywhere.

He stood at the center of the demonic aura, as if an invincible demon god had descended, towering to the heavens, supremely majestic, walking the mortal world, heading straight for Xia You.

Among the three, this person had the lowest cultivation, yet spoke recklessly, saying even Feng Baiyu's arrival couldn't save him, so he would start by cutting this person.

Let's see if the dead can still be stubborn.

Boom!

In an instant, he appeared before Xia You, his massive hand suddenly reaching out like a sky‑covering curtain, slamming down onto his celestial spirit.

"Not good, this demon head is so ferocious!"

Xia You felt a mortal danger and instantly awoke from the grief of his fellow sect members' tragic deaths.

The overwhelming demonic aura, as solid as matter, surged like a mountain‑crushing tide, nearly suffocating him, giving the illusion of facing an ancient giant of the Demonic Path.

He gritted his teeth, and instantly a palm‑sized bottle, as white as mutton‑fat jade, flew out from the treasure pouch at his waist.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six tiny, fingernail‑sized flying knives darted out like fish, each bearing tiny wings and complete features, like six little spirits, exuding a bone‑chilling murderous aura.

In midair the knives formed a subtle formation akin to the Seven‑Killer Sword Array, yet more powerful, turning into a straight beam like celestial aurora, blasting toward Chen Zheng's chest.

"You slap my head, I'll stab your heart."

"Let's see who dies first!"

"If you don't defend, we'll both perish."

But contrary to Xia You's expectation, Chen Zheng didn't even glance at the six knives; his massive hand still came down heavily, his expression unchanged.

He seemed to ignore his own attack.

"Foolish, my Six‑Qi Soul‑Eradicating Flying Knife Array is so sharp, it could not be you…"

Xia You saw Chen Zheng's arrogance and a contemptuous look flashed in his eyes.

But the thought was cut off the moment it arose.

Because the beam formed by the six knives, upon reaching three inches before Chen Zheng's body, hit an invisible iron wall, no matter how it struck, it could not advance.

"You…"

Xia You turned pale with shock; just as he was about to speak, Chen Zheng's five fingers clamped onto his forehead.

Simultaneously the internal "Lian" ignited, endless dark golden flames surged from his palms, enveloping Xia You completely, beginning to refine him.

Refining him would greatly increase his magical power.

As for why he didn't refine Xia Jiuxiao and the others earlier, it was because their strength was too low to be of value to Chen Zheng.

He was too lazy to waste his limbs.

"Junior Brother Xia!"

"Demon head, release Junior Brother Xia!"

Watching Xia You being instantly suppressed by Chen Zheng, wildly struggling in the raging flames, screaming loudly, his body sizzling like oil, resembling a sausage, Yu Fen and Yao Dian were instantly both angry and shocked.

They had thought Chen Zheng only possessed a double‑rank divine ability and relied on a demonic treasure to slay so many of their sect mates at once; now they realized they were gravely mistaken.

His combat power far exceeds any imagination.

They were deceived by Wanluo and Cangbaizi.

Those damned dogs even dared to scheme against the Taiyi Sect; after returning to the Xuan Gui Pavilion, they must report to Song Weiyi and make the two pay with blood.

But that is for later; the urgent matter is to rescue Xia You from Chen Zheng's grasp. "Kill!"

Yao Dian let out a roar; a five‑pointed wheel‑shaped treasure burst from his body, spinning wildly like a millstone. Its corners flung countless fire sparks that shot across the heavens, each capable of evaporating ten thousand hectares of sea.

It is his birth‑treasure, the Golden Crystal Treasure Wheel!

The Taiyi Sect is indeed the world's foremost, unlike the cold‑cloaked Feather Ascension Sect; besides the standard Taiyi Splitting Light Sword, many members also possess far more powerful treasures.

Boom—Boom—!

Yu Fen also summoned his treasure: a towering flag that rose steadily, its surface flailing wildly in the wind with crackling explosions, unleashing endless wind‑cloud talismans and spherical lightning, striking Chen Zheng fiercely.

The lightning raged to the extreme, shaking the Ghost‑Demon Island within a hundred‑mile radius, causing palaces to collapse and the surrounding seas to churn violently.

Wind‑Thunder Banner!

"A petty trick."

Facing the twin treasure onslaught, Chen Zheng's expression stayed unchanged; he suddenly turned, opened his mouth, and inhaled the spherical lightning bolts in one gulp.

At the same time his other hand extended, palm swelling against the wind; his five fingers rose like towering pillars, and with a grasp in mid‑air, as if the supreme true demon opposed the gods, he seized the Wheel of Destiny, pinching the rapidly spinning Golden Crystal Treasure Wheel, halting its assault abruptly.

For a moment, the ferocious attacks of the two treasures were nullified by Chen Zheng.

At that moment, the Xia You Chen Zheng held aloft let out a wail, being refined to death, leaving not even bone fragments.

This novel you...

"How could that be?!"

Yu Fen and Yao Dian could no longer attend to Xia You; they were both stunned by Chen Zheng's terrifying power, their bodies staggering as if about to collapse.

"Senior Chen is terrifying!"

Liu Suiyun also sprang up from his weakened state, staring at Chen Zheng's towering figure, his old eyes nearly bulging out.

What the hell is this freak?

He swallowed lightning whole without a scratch, and bare-handedly seized the Golden Crystal Treasure Wheel.

Both of these are middle-grade treasures!

They are even nearly top-grade, stronger than the Seven Slaughter Gourd.

"Your turn."

Chen Zheng paid no heed to everyone's shock, took a step forward, and stood before Yu Fen, reaching out to grab him.

"Yao Dian senior brother, hurry, let Wei Yi senior brother avenge me, avenge me......"

Yu Fen roared madly.

In the next instant, Chen Zheng seized the person's neck like an eagle grabbing a chick.

"Ah!"

Yao Dian's eyes almost burst, he howled in grief, yet dared not hesitate, fleeing desperately across the vast sea.

At the same time, he flung a pill-shaped object the size of a soybean, glowing with purple light, toward Chen Zheng.

This is a Greater Unity Thunderbolt; it explodes on contact with a person, possessing tremendous power.

Although it couldn't kill Chen Zheng, even a moment's delay would greatly increase his chance of escape.

Moreover, his cultivation is the highest, just one step away from the Heaven-Human Realm, so returning to Wan Gui Hai City is not impossible.

As soon as he returns to the Xuan Gui Pavilion, he will immediately summon Song Wei Yi personally to deal with Chen Zheng, ensuring he dies a horrible death.

"Hmm, why didn't the Greater Unity Thunderbolt explode? Ah......"

Yao Dian had just flown out of the range of Gui Sha Island when he felt something amiss, so he turned back to look.

Who knew that this turn would scare him witless.

Because Chen Zheng had somehow appeared behind him, like a black demon sun hanging high in the firmament, his eyes icy and mercilessly looking down on him.

And that Greater Unity Thunderbolt floated before Chen Zheng, as if trapped by some force field.

"You......"

Yao Dian despaired, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

Chen Zheng's big hand, like the grim reaper's scythe, tightly gripped his neck.
