Chapter 272: Mere Saint, Are You Prepared to Die?

Tian Ruoling and Zhongli Tianyu were stunned at the sight, sensing something amiss, and immediately flew into the air.

The next moment, the black thunder on the ground turned violent.

With a boom, a sheet of thunderous light rose from the ground, shrouding everything within a hundred-mile radius in black thunder.

The soldiers in the surrounding circle all began to scream in agony; those below the Spirit Severing realm were reduced to dust by the electricity, and those below the Integration Realm were all turned to charcoal.

The few in the Integration Realm used Dharma Artifacts to resist, but after the black thunder ended, they too knelt on the ground before Jiang Xun.

The situation for Tian Ruoling and Zhongli Tianyu, who were flying in the air, was not much better; Tian Ruoling's left sleeve had been scorched by the electricity and turned to ash with a light flick.

Zhongli Tianyu's long dress was also shredded by the lightning, revealing two fleshy, beautiful legs.

"Hah, refreshing. So this is the power of a Saint."

Jiang Xun looked at the scene before him and smiled.

"Black thunder!? What is going on?"

Tian Ruoling held a long sword in his hand, looking at Jiang Xun in disbelief; he had truly and tangibly experienced Jun Tianling's strange fire.

"Is now really the time to be asking such questions?" Zhongli Tianyu gave Tian Ruoling a speechless look, then performed a backflip in the air, her entire body beginning to expand dramatically.

In an instant, a white, four-clawed giant dragon with white scales and horns, dozens of meters long, circled in the air.

This was Zhongli Tianyu revealing her true form; clearly, she was still holding back, otherwise, she would be far more than dozens of meters long.

The commoners outside the city saw this scene and thought the Demon Race was attacking, so they ran away even faster in terror.

"Roar!" The white giant dragon let out a loud shout at Jiang Xun and Si Yuyan, her Great Vehicle Great Perfection strength fully revealed.

Tian Ruoling flew beside the giant dragon, twisting the long sword in his hand, with wild winds swirling around him; he was at the Great Vehicle Late Stage.

"Tianling, leave the Tianyu Holy Emperor to me," Si Yuyan said, a black long sword of Heavenly Net Soul-Urging appearing in her hand.

Jiang Xun reached out to block Si Yuyan: "No need, leave them both to me."

Having said that, Jiang Xun leaped up and jumped onto the roof of a house.

Jiang Xun could not fly within Tianling City, which still restricted him quite a bit.

"Roar!" Seeing this, Zhongli Tianyu let out a roar and immediately charged toward him, rushing at Jiang Xun with her mouth wide open; wild thunder raged behind her, and six bolts of lightning followed behind her, striking toward Jiang Xun.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun flicked his hand and pulled out Soul-Suppressor, black thunder coiling around it as he swung his sword, sending a ten-meter-wide horizontal bolt of black thunder crashing toward Zhongli Tianyu.

Zhongli Tianyu immediately halted her momentum, and the six bolts of lightning met the attack, only to be instantly swallowed by the black thunder, which continued toward Zhongli Tianyu with undiminished force.

Seeing this, Zhongli Tianyu let out a roar, blasting a pillar of thunderous light from her mouth to collide with the black thunder.

But she could never have imagined that her full-power strike of a thunder pillar would be split in two by the black thunder and strike her directly.

Her entire massive body trembled from the black thunder, emitting painful wails and roars.

"What are you just standing there for!" Zhongli Tianyu's eyes opened slightly in pain as she shouted at Tian Ruoling.

Tian Ruoling, who had not fought in hundreds of years, finally reacted and swung his sword, unleashing dozens of Wind Blades to attack Jiang Xun.

The density of the Wind Blades left no room for anyone to dodge.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun waved his hand, and the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging formed ten Black Shields to wrap around him layer by layer; the dozens of Wind Blades slammed into the Black Shields, breaking through seven of them in succession.

Once the Wind Blade attack ended, Jiang Xun immediately expanded his Domain.

The black space instantly swallowed everything within a thousand-mile radius, though Jiang Xun only pulled Zhongli Tianyu, Tian Ruoling, and Si Yuyan inside.

"This... this Domain?"

After Zhongli Tianyu recovered from the electric shock and saw the boundless Domain around her, her eyes widened.

"How could there be such a massive Domain!" Tian Ruoling was also stunned; he had never seen such a large Domain, and he possessed the resources of an entire dynasty, yet his own Domain was not this large...

"At least you can fly here now," Jiang Xun smiled, tapping his toes lightly as blood-red wings appeared on his back, and he flew into the air: "Mere Saint, are you prepared to die?"

"Don't you dare be arro—" Before Tian Ruoling could finish his sentence, Jiang Xun had already appeared instantly before him; it is no exaggeration to say that if measured by the time of a blink, Jiang Xun had appeared before him when his eyelids were only halfway closed.

Tian Ruoling hurriedly retreated while attempting to manifest his Dharma Image, but before it could even take shape, hundreds of thousands of Blood Thorns instantly appeared in the surrounding black space, piercing him into a mist of blood.

The reason he wasn't turned into a hedgehog was simply because the number of Blood Thorns was so vast that they pierced every inch of his skin.

Pop!

After the Blood Thorns vanished, Tian Ruoling himself disappeared as well.

Zhongli Tianyu couldn't help but gulp; everything had happened too fast, totaling less than a second.

She had no time to react at all.

She had not expected Jun Tianling's Domain to be so powerful, had not expected Jun Tianling's flight speed to be essentially teleportation, and even less had she expected Jun Tianling to kill Tian Ruoling, a Saint, without the slightest hesitation.

Logically speaking, she needed Saints right now; when one could easily subdue the opponent, shouldn't one keep them as Human Pills?

Seeing Jun Tianling turn his gaze toward her, Zhongli Tianyu hurriedly activated her own Domain, and a sky shimmering with purple lightning appeared within Jiang Xun's Domain.

Her entire Domain occupied only two-fifths of Jiang Xun's Domain.

If anyone else saw Zhongli Tianyu in this thunderous sky Domain, they might feel some fear, but Jiang Xun controlled the black thunder of the ancient Thunder God; to put it bluntly, Zhongli Tianyu was just brandishing a broadsword before Guan Gong.

Jiang Xun didn't even take her lightning seriously.

"You're running out of Spirit Power, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Jun Tianling shouted at this moment.

It wasn't that her Spirit Power was too low, but that Jiang Xun was using Spirit Power as if it were endless; whether it was the maximum-range thousand-mile Domain, the hundreds of thousands of Blood Thorns, or the Domain restricting Zhongli Tianyu, all were extremely draining.

Hundreds of thousands of Blood Thorns—every inch of those thorns was Spirit Power!

It was also because Jiang Xun felt the lack of Spirit Power that he hadn't finished off Zhongli Tianyu immediately, giving her the chance to open her Domain.

"Don't panic, don't panic," Jiang Xun smiled, simultaneously stuffing the medicinal pill he was holding into his mouth and swallowing it; Jun Tianling was stunned to feel the Spirit Power in her body fully restored: "You used a Huiyuan Pill?"

In her view, there was absolutely no need to use a Huiyuan Pill; these two were no match for her at all, and her own Spirit Power would have been more than enough to finish them off without Jiang Xun's such wastefulness.

"What I used is better than that thing." What Jiang Xun had consumed was, of course, a Soul Returning Pill.

Zhongli Tianyu had not dared to act rashly on her side, fearing that if she moved, she would end up just like Tian Ruoling.

At this moment, she only intended to remain still if the enemy remained still, carefully observing every move of Jun Tianling to find an opportunity to counterattack, break the Domain, and escape!
