331: Slaying the Red Crow

Boom—with a massive roar, a giant wave of flames swept out like a mountain flood or a tsunami, vast and mighty, causing the heavens and earth to shake violently.

"Pfft..." As the ocean-like ripples of flames washed over the area, several figures were sent flying while coughing up blood, their flesh mangled and blurred. It was none other than the Orange Cat Female Immortal, the Yellow Snake Immortal, the Great Immortal Green Tiger, and the others.

Those who had just held a massive advantage were, in the blink of an eye, completely routed!

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone was left dumbfounded!

"What kind of people are these..." Fu Zhu's voice trembled slightly.

Beside him, the Black Pigeon was also feeling a sense of trepidation.

This group of people was truly too eerie.

They had thought that Lin Yang and Aili before them were already unstoppable, but they hadn't expected that a figure even more ferocious than the two of them was hidden behind them.

Defeating six Heavenly Immortals with a single strike!

Among them, there were even figures like the Yellow Snake and the Orange Cat, who were at the Late Stage or even Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal realm!

If they asked themselves honestly, even if Fu Zhu and the Black Pigeon were to personally take action, it would still take them some time to take down the six Heavenly Immortals.

But right now, someone had done what they couldn't do with just a single move, and with such ease.

"If that fire lotus had been thrown at us just now..." At the thought of this, Fu Zhu and the Black Pigeon couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

What terrifying Divine Power; it was truly peerless!

The two sides that had been locked in fierce battle were forced to come to a complete stop after that fire lotus exploded.

"What a terrifying Empress..." A flash of shock appeared in the eyes of the Jade Dragon that Aili had transformed into. She couldn't help but gulp, muttering to herself as she began to reconsider whether her idea of stealing her position was a bit presumptuous...

At this moment, with the six Heavenly Immortals no longer posing a threat to Nangong Xueli and the others, Lin Yang and Aili had no more scruples, and their gazes toward the three Quasi-Kings grew increasingly cold.

Swish! Just at this moment, Fu Zhu suddenly turned into a stream of light and fled rapidly toward the distance.

As he fled, he left behind an Immortal Artifact of great value.

"Fellow Daoist, it's all a misunderstanding! I only appeared here because I was incited by Red Crow. I truly have no intention of being your enemy. This item is a token of apology. I shall take my leave today, and if there is an opportunity in the future, I will come to apologize in person!"

Seeing Fu Zhu turn around and run without a word, everyone present was stunned, and then they looked with strange expressions at the back of Fu Zhu, who was rapidly becoming a black dot.

A Quasi-King abandoning his allies and fleeing from battle—one could imagine how much cold disdain and ridicule he would face in the future.

However, at this moment, Fu Zhu couldn't care about that much. Because, as a top-tier Loose Cultivator, no one understood the value of being alive better than he did!

Only those who survive have the qualifications to accept those taunts and jeers!

"Fu Zhu, you bastard!" Red Crow had also been caught off guard by Fu Zhu's flight. After coming to his senses, he was instantly furious, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He looked at the Black Pigeon on the other side; the other's expression was currently flickering with uncertainty.

"Sigh..." The next moment, the Black Pigeon took out a spatial sphere, glanced at it, sighed heavily, and tossed it through the air to Lin Yang.

"Here is a piece of Extraterrestrial Star Essence, a Material for forging Immortal King divine weapons. Let this serve as an apology for my rash actions this time!"

After saying this, he cupped his hands and then quickly fled into the distance.

Receiving the spatial sphere, Lin Yang glanced at the mysterious Star Essence stored inside. It did indeed emit an extremely profound fluctuation. After nodding slightly, he did not make things difficult for the Black Pigeon as he left.

Soon, the two Quasi-King experts had both abandoned a treasure from their bodies as an apology and left, leaving only Red Crow alone at the scene.

Watching Lin Yang and Aili slowly approach, Red Crow felt his scalp tingle. He gulped, barely squeezing out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I am also willing to pay..."

"You don't need to pay. You might as well just die!" Before the words even finished, Lin Yang and Aili attacked directly.

For someone like Red Crow who would seek revenge for the slightest grievance, Lin Yang could guarantee that even if he were to show mercy and let the other party go this time, Red Crow would definitely harbor a grudge afterward and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

And this was a Quasi-King expert who could potentially ascend to the King realm at any moment. Once Red Crow truly stepped into the Immortal King realm, Lin Yang didn't know how much trouble he would face then.

To eliminate future trouble, it was absolutely impossible to let him leave today!

Rumble! Facing the combined forces of Lin Yang and Aili, how could the lone Red Crow be a match for them?

"Ahhh! Kid, I am a member of the Immortal Alliance. If you dare to kill me, you yourself will be burned to ashes by the fire of karma!"

At the very last moment, Red Crow sacrificed the immortal alliance edict.

If someone killed a member of the alliance before the immortal alliance edict, the edict would be triggered, raining down the fire of karma to burn the person who struck.

"Fire of karma? Hmph, do you think I haven't endured that before?" Lin Yang sneered, forming a seal with one hand, summoning the light image of goddess nüwa, and raining down a massive amount of purifying Divine Power, which directly neutralized the fire of karma within the edict.

"What? You, you... how is that possible!?" Red Crow's eyes widened, and amidst his look of disbelief, his pupils gradually dilated, and finally, his Divine Soul shattered into pieces, and he died.

As for his companions, the Orange Cat, the Yellow Snake Immortal, and others, Lin Yang naturally would not be soft-hearted, and with thunderous methods, he wiped them all out right there.

Thus, the Seven Immortals, who were famous in the Upper Realm, all fell here.

And all of this stemmed from Red Crow's own greed.

After the Immortal Duel concluded, Lin Yang and the others had no intention of continuing to entangle themselves with them.

Who would have thought that he wanted to spare the Seven Immortals, but the other party had no intention of letting him go.

Not only did they intentionally cause trouble for him at the auction, but after the event, they even joined forces with two Quasi-Kings to ambush him.

"Playing the joint robbery game after the auction? Did you think you were the protagonist?" Looking at the dead Red Crow and the others who died with their eyes wide open in resentment, Lin Yang shook his head helplessly.

Without the fate of a protagonist, but with the protagonist syndrome—isn't that just asking for death?

Subsequently, he reached out and beckoned, drawing the Storage Rings from all of them into his hand.

Following that, he rummaged through Red Crow's Storage Ring.

Sure enough, he finally found two map fragments that were identical in texture to the last map fragment that appeared at the auction.

The three map fragments joined together, just barely piecing together a complete treasure map.

Lin Yang was overjoyed at the sight. During the auction, he had already suspected that since Red Crow was so eager for that last map fragment, it was highly likely that he possessed other map fragments.

It was just that he hadn't expected that, adding the map fragments found on Red Crow, he would accidentally manage to piece together the complete treasure map.

"It seems this heavenly god tree has a connection with Brother Lin Yang." Nangong Xueli and the others also walked over, and seeing the three map fragments pieced together in Lin Yang's hand, they also smiled with pleasant surprise.
