How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"This is?"

He Qing's expression changed drastically, and fear flashed in his eyes. The terrifying aura made him want to retreat.

"Tianquan, let's go!"

With a loud shout, He Qing flashed to Li Tianquan's side, grabbed him, and ran away.

What terrifying magical artifact could possibly trigger such a scene of ghostly wails and howls?

"Want to leave? It's not that easy."

Li Muyun's Six Souls Divine Banner Sword trembled, and jet-black arcs of electricity erupted from the sword. Streaks of black lightning rose from the ground, enveloping an area of ​​a hundred meters. Dark clouds surged in the sky, and black lightning roared, like the might of Hades and the wrath of the Thunder God.

"A divine-level formation—the Nether Thunder Locking God Formation!"

With the Six Soul Divine Sword in Li Muyun's hand as the array's core, the great array was suddenly activated!

This Netherworld Thunder Locking God Array is an advanced version of the Thunder Locking Spirit Array. With the blessing of the Six Soul Divine Sword, the Thunder Locking Spirit Array evolved into the current Netherworld Thunder Locking God Array.

The formation is now completely different from before, so much so that He Qing didn't even realize that it was the same formation that Li Muyun had used to trap him.

The entire formation isolated the space, and the sky was filled with black lightning. The terrifying pressure almost made Li Tianquan kneel on the ground.

His old face was ashen, like black iron. He Qing looked around and saw that the formation had trapped him tightly, leaving him with no chance of escape.

"If you dare to touch me, the Wuji Sect will not let you off!" He Qing roared, channeling all his true energy and looking at Li Muyun with extreme fear. "Even if you are a Nascent Soul Immortal, you cannot withstand the wrath of the Wuji Sect's Martial Saint—"

【boom! 】

Li Muyun slowly pointed his short sword, and a jet-black lightning bolt as thick as a bucket descended from the sky, landing directly on He Qing.

Before He Qing could finish speaking, he urgently mobilized his true energy to defend himself. However, the power of the black lightning far exceeded his expectations. With a "poof," he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, causing both of his feet to sink into the ground.

With his cold eyes fixed on He Qing, Li Muyun said indifferently, "The threat is just a disguise for your fear, it's utterly ridiculous."

After saying that, he drew a circle in the air with his short sword. Within the formation, countless black lightning bolts surged up from beneath He Qing's feet, instantly paralyzing his entire body and causing him to scream in agony.

Upon seeing this, the Fire Phoenix King cried out, its eyes blazing with intense flames, and it unleashed a burst of Fire Phoenix True Flame.

"Raging Wind Bursting Palm!"

Faced with the two's attack, He Qing roared and unleashed a dozen palm strikes in a sorry state. A sudden gust of wind rose up, like a tornado that forced back all the lightning and flames. He Qing, barely able to catch his breath, had his chest heaving violently. Although this palm technique was fierce, it consumed a great deal of energy. Those dozen or so palm strikes had depleted a large amount of his true energy. If this continued, he would surely die.

Only by breaking this formation can there be a chance to escape. After thinking it over, He Qing gritted his teeth, unleashed his true energy, and the pressure of the half-step Martial Core made the air stagnate for a moment. With a flick of his sleeve, the azure true energy rose and coiled like an azure dragon. He took a step forward and unleashed a palm strike towards Li Muyun, which actually rang out with the sound of dragon roars: "Peak Spirit-level Martial Skill - Dragon Roar Gale Palm!"

Facing the palm wind that came like a raging dragon, Li Muyun just sneered. He swept his short sword horizontally, and the six banner tails swayed gently. In fact, six lightning chains made of black lightning appeared in the formation. The six chains were like six lightning dragons, rushing towards He Qing together.

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded, the raging dragon shattered, and He Qing spat out blood as his body flew backward like a broken sack.

The Fire Phoenix King flapped its wings in pursuit, enveloping him in several bursts of flame. Then, with a flap of its wings, countless fiery feathers, like a sword array, attacked He Qing.

"Raging Wind Bursting Palm!"

A series of palm prints appeared, knocking away most of the fire feathers, but many still managed to pierce He Qing's body.

"what!"

With a scream, He Qing rolled several times on the ground, his whole body ablaze.

Pain and despair overwhelmed He Qing; he never imagined that today would be so miserable.

Trembling, he got up and said unwillingly, "Immortal, I have no grudge against you. Why are you making things difficult for me? If you spare my life today, I will repay you tenfold in the future."

Smiling and shaking his head, Li Muyun slowly removed his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome young face, and said disdainfully, "No grudge? Old dog, have you forgotten the grudge of being hunted down by the Protectorate City?"

"It's you?! How is this possible?!"

He Qing's eyes widened in utter shock. How could he possibly possess such power?

Li Tianquan was so shocked that he staggered back, exclaiming, "How could it be you, you little bastard?!"

Li Muyun twitched the corner of his mouth and said nonchalantly, "You're allowed to have your teacher protecting you, but I'm not allowed to borrow your teacher's power?"

Li Muyun looked at He Qing and said, "You had a good time chasing me, didn't you? Now I'll let you have your turn!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and dark clouds churned in the sky. Countless bolts of lightning as thick as an arm instantly transformed into hundreds of black lightning swords. Six jet-black chains, like swimming dragons, circled around these black lightning swords and descended from the sky!

Upon seeing this, the Fire Phoenix King spread its wings and flew backward in terror, fearing that it would be affected.

[Boom boom boom! 】

"No! No! Ah!"

The deafening thunder continued incessantly. He Qing screamed in terror, while Li Tianquan collapsed to the ground, looking like a lump of mud.

Li Muyun showed no mercy. With a swipe of his short sword, the formation was activated, and the Yin Thunder Longsword poured down, while six chains crashed down!

He Qing's true essence shield shattered in just one second, and Li Tianquan's Xuanwu shield, generated by some unknown magic weapon, also collapsed upon contact.

In the blink of an eye, the master and his disciple had been reduced to ashes.

"Kid, that's your brother, how could you do that?" Long-eared Immortal said mockingly in Li Muyun's ear.

Li Muyun chuckled, dispelled the formation, and said calmly, "When he was chasing me, he didn't treat me like a brother. He who kills will be killed in return."

The Long-Eared Immortal chuckled with satisfaction, "This child is teachable!"

Li Muyun approached the two corpses, touched their bodies, and found two storage rings. He also found a tortoise shell jade pendant on Li Tianquan's body, but unfortunately it was now broken. Obviously, the Xuanwu Shield he had previously used was this small magic item that was working.

After putting away the two people's storage rings, Li Muyun turned to leave, but then he heard the voice of the Long-Eared Immortal again, "The other party is at the half-step Martial Core realm. Although his physical body is dead, his soul is not destroyed. We must eliminate him completely."

"Oh, I see?"

Li Muyun was startled, almost causing trouble. He walked to He Qing's corpse, the Six Soul Divine Sword reappeared in his hand, and he sneered, "Hehe, old dog He Qing, I'll annihilate you, body and soul!"
