140: Chapter 140 A Ninth-Tier Amethyst Expert?!

The situation was critical.

Five formidable enemies watched them like tigers eyeing their prey.

The intense killing intent had almost condensed into substance.

Jiang Yun's eyes were sharp as he made an instantaneous decision.

He said in a deep voice to Elder Su, "Elder Su, their target is me! Take the Young Miss and leave immediately! I'll hold them back!"

Elder Su was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

"Impossible! Son-in-law, if the Young Miss and I leave, what will you do? The Aura of those four is no weaker than mine. Although your combat strength is formidable, fighting one against five—with four of them being Peak Gold Rank 9—is far too dangerous!"

As he spoke,

he had already summoned his unhealed Rock Armor Dragon Turtle.

An earthy yellow light lit up.

Though it appeared dim,

it carried a determination to forge ahead regardless of the cost.

Jiang Yun did not reply.

Instead, he took a deep look at Su Qingxue, who was still playing the role of a weak young girl, hiding behind Elder Su.

He knew perfectly well.

This Nine-Tailed Fox Senior possessed heaven-toppling strength.

With a flip of her hand, she could annihilate all the enemies before them.

But for the sake of her infiltration goals, it was absolutely impossible for her to take action.

In fact, his death might even better suit some ulterior motive of hers.

Withdrawing his gaze,

Jiang Yun knew.

This would be a bitter struggle with no way out.

He had to hold nothing back!

"Water-Fire Dragon Domain! Open!"

Following Jiang Yun's low shout,

Little Fire, suspended in the air, let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar!

The water and fire energy around its body erupted with unprecedented intensity!

Boom—!!!

The Water-Fire Dragon Domain deployed brazenly!

A spherical Domain with a diameter exceeding fifty meters instantly enveloped the five charging enemies, along with their skeletal beasts!

Within the Domain, water and fire were governed separately.

Dragon might billowed, and attribute suppression descended!

At the moment the Domain expanded,

with a slight thought from Jiang Yun,

he skillfully utilized the power of the Domain

to gently push Elder Su and Su Qingxue, who were at the edge, out of the Domain's range.

"This... this is a Domain?!"

"How is it possible! To possess a Domain skill at the Gold Rank?! This beast's Aptitude! How Heaven-Defying!"

The four Yuhai Cultists simultaneously let out cries of disbelief.

They felt the circulation of their Soul Power instantly become sluggish.

Movement became difficult.

The Death Qi of their skeletal beasts was also being frantically repelled and weakened by the power of water and fire!

Qin Xiaotian's pupils constricted even further as he lost his voice in horror.

"A Domain skill?! It's only been a few days... this brat actually..."

This couldn't help but remind him of his eldest son, Qin Long.

Boundless regret and fear flooded his heart.

He realized he had still far underestimated the degree to which this youth was a Prodigy!

Elder Su was pushed out of the Domain.

Looking at that magnificent yet deadly spherical space,

his eyes were filled with worry.

But he also understood that if he forced his way in, not only would he be unable to help, but he would instead become a burden due to the Domain suppression.

Within the Domain,

Jiang Yun was like a god.

His thoughts were perfectly synchronized with Little Fire.

Facing the siege of five powerful enemies, he did not panic.

"Fire Domain Cage! Full restraint!"

Little Fire's dragon eyes flashed with brilliant light.

On the fire side of the Domain,

countless gold-red chains, condensed as if solid and entwined with water vapor, appeared out of thin air. Like spirit snakes emerging from their burrows, they instantly Entwine around the fastest Shadow Magic Leopard skeleton and another Sharp-Clawed Rhino skeleton, forcefully halting their charging momentum!

"Kill Qin Xiaotian first!"

Jiang Yun's target was clear.

Qin Xiaotian was the weakest,

and he was the main culprit.

He had to be eliminated first

to cut off all future troubles!

"Water-Fire Dragon Breath!"

Little Fire opened its dragon maw.

A gold and blue dual-colored breath, possessing both extreme high temperature and icy erosion characteristics, shot straight toward Qin Xiaotian and his Moon-Howling Silver Wolf like a laser!

This breath received a massive boost within the Domain.

Its speed was startlingly fast!

"You little bastard! Don't even think about it!"

Qin Xiaotian was both shocked and enraged.

The Moon-Howling Silver Wolf roared and spat out a moonlight impact, attempting to block it.

However,

under the comprehensive suppression of the Domain,

the Moon-Howling Silver Wolf's strength was greatly reduced.

The Water-Fire Dragon Breath instantly annihilated the moonlight with overwhelming force, ruthlessly striking the Moon-Howling Silver Wolf and Qin Xiaotian!

"No—!!!"

Qin Xiaotian let out a desperate and unwilling howl.

He watched helplessly as his old partner wailed and disintegrated in the extreme agony of ice and fire, while he himself was consumed by that destructive energy.

"How is it possible... you are clearly only sixteen years old... clearly only Gold First Tier... I am not reconciled... you must kill this brat! Otherwise, my Qin Family... is in peril..."

Carrying endless regret and malice,

Qin Xiaotian's voice came to an abrupt end.

Along with his beast,

he turned into flying ash.

Outside the Domain,

Elder Su watched dumbstruck.

His heart was filled with horror.

"So... so when the son-in-law fought me, he hadn't even used his full strength! At Gold First Tier, fighting four Peak Gold Rank 9 plus one Gold Rank Seventh Order, he could actually be so at ease, killing one person first!"

The remaining four Yuhai Cultists were also trembling with fear.

The combat power Jiang Yun displayed and the strength of this bizarre Domain

far exceeded their estimations!

"This brat is troublesome! We can't hold back anymore! Form the array, cripple his beast first!"

The leading cultist shouted sternly,

casting aside all contempt.

The four of them controlled their skeletal Vicious Beasts.

They no longer fought individually,

but instead formed a simple combined attack formation.

The Rot-Poison Earth Dragon spat out toxic breath to interfere.

Another skeleton released bone spears from a distance.

The other two relied on their powerful Physical Body and Death Qi

to launch a fierce assault on Little Fire, unafraid of death!

For a time,

Death Qi surged wildly within the Domain.

Various attacks came from different directions.

Although Little Fire's combat power was multiplied in the Domain,

facing the continuous fierce attacks of four same-rank Peak skeletons at once, it began to seem a bit overwhelmed. Death Qi brushed against its dragon scales, making a sizzling corrosive sound.

Jiang Yun steeled his heart.

His Soul link communicated with the Beast Taming Space.

"Little Cloud Sparrow, wake up!"

A streak of cyan-purple light flew out from Jiang Yun's body.

The small yet sharply-auraed Storm Thunder Sparrow appeared in the Domain's sky!

Although it had just been forcibly awakened,

it felt its master's crisis and the majestic energy outside,

immediately letting out a sharp cry!

"Eye of the Storm! Interfere with them!"

Little Cloud Sparrow's wings vibrated.

Chaotic storm currents were instantly generated within the Domain.

Although it wasn't Domain power,

it greatly interfered with the attack trajectories and stability of the skeletal Vicious Beasts, especially against the long-range bone spears and toxic breath, showing significant effects!

"Thunder Strike! Attack the one on the left!"

Seizing an opening,

Little Cloud Sparrow turned into a bolt of lightning.

Its claws, containing violent thunder power, ruthlessly struck the eye socket of a skeletal Vicious Beast on the left.

Thunder erupted, charring half of its head black, and its movements instantly stalled!

With Little Cloud Sparrow's joining,

the situation immediately eased up a lot.

Outside the Domain,

Elder Su was first shocked to see that Jiang Yun actually had such a nimble and powerful beast!

Then his heart settled slightly.

Seeing Jiang Yun fighting four powerful enemies alone,

it was still fraught with danger.

He gnashed his teeth and said to Su Qingxue, "Young Miss, do not move from here! I will go lend the son-in-law a hand!"

After saying that,

he ordered the Rock Armor Dragon Turtle to endure the Domain suppression effect,

roaring as it charged into the Water-Fire Dragon Domain.

It directly engaged one Yuhai Cultist and his skeletal Vicious Beast,

firmly tying them down!

"Elder Su!"

Seeing this,

Jiang Yun's heart warmed, but he felt even more solemn.

Elder Su's beast was already injured.

Its strength was greatly reduced within the Domain, making its situation dangerous.

He couldn't delay any longer!

Jiang Yun's gaze turned sharp.

He pushed his Soul Power to the limit,

resonating his Soul with Little Fire!

"Dragons Wrath! Full power!"

"Roar—!"

Little Fire's body expanded once more, dragon might and fury intertwining as its Aura climbed to the Peak!

"Dragon Flame Burst Kill—Annihilation!"

Under the dual extreme enhancement of Dragons Wrath and Water-Fire Dragon Domain, the energy core condensing in Little Fire's mouth seemed to turn into a black hole swallowing everything, compressing destructive energy within that could make the world change color!

The three Yuhai Cultists who were besieging Little Fire

felt this terrifying power that far exceeded the scope of the Gold Rank,

and their faces instantly turned deathly pale!

"Not good! Retreat, quickly!"

"This brat's beast's combat power is not at Gold First Tier at all! It's a monster!"

Their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering,

they wanted to flee the Domain.

"Want to leave? Too late! Domain Imprisonment!"

Jiang Yun snorted coldly.

Little Fire mobilized the power of the entire Domain.

The power of water and fire turned into invisible shackles,

firmly binding the three men's movements!

In the next moment,

that gold-blue-black tri-colored destructive pillar of light that pierced through the Domain

shot out brazenly!

Boom————————!!!

An explosion beyond words echoed at the core of the Domain!

The light swallowed everything!

Those three Peak Gold Rank 9 skeletal Vicious Beasts,

along with their controllers,

under this destructive strike,

couldn't even let out a scream.

They were instantly vaporized, leaving not even ashes behind!

The light dissipated.

A dead silence filled the Domain.

Only the leading Yuhai Cultist remained,

along with the Rot-Poison Earth Dragon skeleton at his feet, which was also heavily damaged by the aftershocks, its Death Qi dim.

He never would have imagined

that four Gold Rank Peak powerhouses

coming to kill a Gold First Tier brat

would ultimately be counter-killed... the opponent was simply too strong... he stared blankly at the empty scorched earth before him.

He then looked at Little Fire, who was like a dragon god descended to the world, and Jiang Yun, whose Aura was stern; his face was filled with extreme fear and disbelief.

"Flee! I must flee!"

Only this thought remained in his mind.

He turned and wanted to control the Rot-Poison Earth Dragon to rush out of the Domain.

"Inverted Domain! Fire Domain Burning the Heavens!"

How could Jiang Yun let him escape?

With a thought,

the Domain's form instantly shifted.

The entire Domain turned into a world of blazing fire.

Countless dragon-shaped flames rose up,

completely engulfing that cultist and his beast... The battle ended.

Four Peak Gold Rank 9 cult members were killed.

Qin Xiaotian had also been instantly killed.

Little Fire retracted the Domain, its body swaying slightly.

Its Aura had withered quite a bit.

This battle had consumed too much!

Jiang Yun also felt a wave of intense weakness hit him.

He gasped for air, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Little Cloud Sparrow landed tiredly by his side.

"Old Turtle! Hang in there! I'll give you a healing Medicinal Pill right now!"

Elder Su looked at his beast anxiously.

The Rock Armor Dragon Turtle's injuries were even heavier.

It was almost prostrate on the ground,

the corners of its mouth covered in blood.

Jiang Yun shook his head helplessly.

Pity it wasn't his beast.

Jiang Yun was powerless to help.

Otherwise, putting it in the Beast Taming Space would make such injuries not difficult to recover from.

"That was close... if not for this Domain skill, today I'm afraid..."

Jiang Yun felt a lingering fear.

He was just preparing to retract Little Fire and Little Cloud Sparrow into the Beast Taming Space to recover.

Just at this moment,

an indescribable, terrifying pressure,

as if the entire firmament had collapsed,

descended with a bang!

Thud!

Thud!

Under this pressure, Jiang Yun, Elder Su, and even their heavily injured beasts had no power to resist. Like being struck by an invisible giant hand, they were all suppressed to the ground, unable to move!

They couldn't even lift a single finger!

Their Souls were trembling!

Su Qingxue also timely put on a look of being scared witless, slumping to the ground.

A cold, hoarse chuckle, as if coming from the nine layers of Hell, sounded like demonic music entering their ears, clearly reaching each of them.

"Hehehe..."

"It seems my Sacred Cult underestimated you."

"To be able to instantly kill four of my Sacred Cult's Peak Gold Rank 9 at the Gold First Tier."

"For a beast with such Heaven-Defying combat power and peerless Aptitude to fall into the hands of a mere child like you is truly a waste of a heavenly treasure."

"Why don't... I personally take it and refine it into a perfect Puppet!"

As the words fell,

the sky seemed to darken by a few degrees.

A terrifying behemoth with a size far exceeding all previous skeletons, like a small mountain, tore through the clouds and slowly descended!

It was shaped like a lizard magnified dozens of times, but its entire body was covered in bone armor dark as Black Iron. Thick black energy flowed through the gaps in the bone armor, and two clusters of ghostly green Soul fire burned in its giant eye sockets.

The Death Qi it emitted

was so dense that the air became viscous.

Its mere existence

caused the vegetation below to wither and rot at a speed visible to the naked eye!

That terrifying pressure

was precisely emanating from its body!

Atop the head of this Undead Behemoth,

an emaciated old man clad in a black robe with dark purple trim stood quietly.

He wore a silver mask carved with twisted runes, revealing only a pair of emotionless eyes that looked like deep abysses.

Jiang Yun endured the Soul-level trembling

and struggled to lift his head.

His Manifestation of All Things Entries talent instinctively activated,

looking toward that old man.

In the next moment,

his face changed drastically.

His pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.

A chill rushed from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

[Realm]: Amethyst Ninth Tier Peak!

An Amethyst Ninth Tier powerhouse of the Yuhai Cult!

Jiang Yun's heart

instantly sank into a bottomless abyss.

Even if he brought out all his trump cards,

in the face of such an absolute gap in strength,

it would all appear pale and powerless...
