91: Lin Xiao kills Xu Yuan

"Where is Meng Yun?"

In the living room on the first floor, Lin Xiao, clad in a green robe, stood with his hands behind his back. The aura of his Combination Realm cultivation casually spread a trace, making the woman in front of him unable to breathe.

No matter how strong Xu Yuan was, she was only at the Arcane Envoy level.

An Arcane Envoy, even if compared to the cultivation system, was only at the Nascent Soul Realm level.

A Nascent Soul fighting a Combination Realm was inherently a situation with no chance of survival.

What's more, the Arcane system was inherently weaker than the cultivation system. It wasn't that Arcane was weaker than cultivation techniques; the main reason was the frailty of the physical body.

Arcanists were basically mortals in the flesh; once a cultivator engaged them in close combat, the moment their defensive spells were broken was often the moment of their defeat.

Of course, if one cultivated to the legendary level above, the Arcane system might not be inferior to cultivators.

"You… what do you want with Meng Yun…?"

Xu Yuan, intimidated by the aura, still supported herself despite her difficulty breathing, asking the question.

After all, Meng Yun was both her tenant and the one who was going to teach her the youth version of Hellfire!

Such an uninvited guest, casually revealing his aura, must surely have ill intentions!

No matter what, she had to try and stop him!

"Oh? It seems you know him then."

Lin Xiao sat grandly on the sofa, one hand casually resting on the backrest.

His unruly nature was fully revealed.

There was nothing he could do. As a Combination Realm powerhouse who had lived for two hundred years, even in this ghostly state, countless people still fawned over him daily.

"Come, sit over here and massage my legs."

Since this woman was connected to Meng Yun, he didn't mind enjoying her first on Meng Yun's behalf.

At least she had some looks.

Relationship? What did he care about their relationship!

If she had to blame someone, she should blame herself for knowing Meng Yun of all people!

Under the pressure of this aura, Xu Yuan's face had already turned red, but she still stood stubbornly, preferring death to submission.

Even though her legs were already trembling.

Even though her breathing was already erratic.

She would never yield.

"I said come over here and massage my legs, didn't you hear me?!"

As Lin Xiao's words fell, an even stronger pressure emanated from him, poised to force the woman to her knees.

Xu Yuan gritted her teeth, the humiliated fury in her beautiful eyes almost turning corporeal.

Crack!

This was the sound of the floor tiles unable to withstand the pressure, beginning to crack inch by inch.

As an Arcane Envoy, Xu Yuan's physical strength, while greater than an ordinary person's, might not have been much stronger than floor tiles.

Sure enough, not long after the floor tiles cracked, blood began to seep from the corner of her lips.

Xu Yuan's defiance had caused her to suffer significant internal injuries from directly resisting Lin Xiao's pressure.

The sight of the intellectual beauty with blood at the corner of her lips and anger in her beautiful eyes did not evoke Lin Xiao's pity. Instead, her strong stance ignited an unprovoked rage within him.

What?

It was true that he, Lin Xiao, had been in seclusion for a period.

But did these newcomers nowadays not know the legends about him in the martial world?

Was it that he, Lin Xiao, couldn't lift his blade anymore, or...

Were these new people too arrogant now?!

At this thought, the killing intent in his heart instantly materialized. Spiritual power transformed into a hand, gripping Xu Yuan's neck and lifting her into the air.

With a casual toss, Xu Yuan's body directly shattered the main door and rolled into the courtyard.

Disobedient?

Then he would beat her until she obeyed!

This was both an outlet for his anger and a show of force to Meng Yun.

As a Combination Realm cultivator, how could he not know that Meng Yun was currently in the room on the second floor?

Even if Meng Yun's aura was incredibly faint at this moment, as if he had vanished from the human world!

Lin Xiao's attack, if used on an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, might only result in superficial injuries.

But when used on Xu Yuan, it was already enough to be fatal.

Currently, Xu Yuan lay sprawled in the courtyard, her breath faint, her life hanging by a thread.

"You still won't come out for this?

You really are a coward..."

Lin Xiao sneered, and with a casual flick, Xu Yuan rose into the air. Her body passed through the broken doorway, leaving a few more streaks of blood.

Since no one cared.

Then he didn't mind playing with her a bit longer.

...

Meng Yun's soul drifted back, descending onto his body on the bed.

Meng Yun opened his eyes.

Although his heart was filled with complex emotions of reluctance, longing, and a feeling of being in another world, what struck him most deeply at this moment was...

The sudden lightness and freedom from illness and pain in his healthy body!

A completely whole, clean, and robust body!

This feeling made him almost want to sit up straight and let out a long roar to the sky!

But when he thought that his landlady, Xu Yuan, was waiting downstairs, he felt a little embarrassed to make a sound.

One had to know that an Arcane Envoy's perception was incredibly keen.

What was he doing, shouting loudly for no reason!

But when he released his perception, he instantly froze.

At some point, an extremely powerful aura had appeared out of nowhere downstairs.

In front of this aura, Meng Yun seemed only fit to look up and prostrate himself.

An ant trying to shake a great tree, a mayfly peeking at the clear sky.

But this was not what shocked him the most.

What shocked him most was that Xu Yuan's originally healthy and vibrant aura was now almost undetectable.

A dense aura of death had gradually enveloped her.

In this world, there were no miraculous elixirs that could bring the dead back to life.

Even Meng Yun's Life Alchemy couldn't do it.

He could, at the cost of his own lifespan, imbue inanimate objects with life out of thin air, but he couldn't turn a dead person into a living one.

In other words, Little Seven was the best example.

Although Little Seven was resurrected by Meng Yun, she also permanently lost her younger brother.

But Little Seven was an anomaly, as the source of her vitality was Meng Yun's own lifespan.

Xu Yuan was not. She was herself.

Once she died, there was no possibility of resurrection.

Even if she were resurrected, it wouldn't be her.

Only a true Immortal Emperor could reverse life and death, stealing from yin and yang.

"System, put aside other evaluations for now, quickly exchange the God Art Master peak strength for me, hurry!"

The system seemed to stutter for a moment.

"Uh... how did you know about this reward...?"

"Stop the damn nonsense!"

"[Reward 1, Fallen Arcanist peak level strength (equivalent to the Peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm in the cultivation system), has been issued to the host.]"

A supreme will descended, and Meng Yun felt his own rationality expand unprecedentedly, instantly soaring to the peak of a God Art Master.

(PS: In the current world reward, the negative effects of Fallen God Master do not exist~ Positive feedback is maximized)

With a casual wave, a pure black flame danced freely in his palm.

With another wave, a level nine supreme defensive spell instantly enveloped his body.

Although facing a Combination Realm cultivator, this level of defense might still be of little use.

But the best defense is offense!

Hellfire was said to be able to fight across realms.

He wondered if his peak God Art Master strength, with the help of Hellfire, could directly confront this uninvited guest?

"You bastard, come take your death from your Grandpa Meng!" Invisible black flames quietly ignited from beneath Lin Xiao's feet.

Along with the tyranny, anger, hatred, distortion... countless negative emotions in his heart, all were ignited by Meng Yun.

For someone like him, whose hands were stained with countless sins and karma, Hellfire burned even more fiercely and intensely on him.

Lin Xiao was instantly overwhelmed, not even having a chance to utter a single harsh word to Meng Yun.

At the same time, the spiritual power controlling Xu Yuan suddenly disappeared, and the woman's broken body was about to fall from the ceiling to the ground.

Meng Yun flashed, catching her around the waist. With just one glance, his heart instantly turned icy cold.

At this moment, Xu Yuan's body already had shattered bones and ruptured internal organs.

It was only by a surge of anger that she had managed to keep herself alive until now.

She lay limply in Meng Yun's arms, opening her eyes and seeing him.

Xu Yuan opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.

But how could Meng Yun let her speak!

If that breath dissipated, she would be gone!

A solution!

What other solution was there!

No sooner said than done, a flash of lightning went through Meng Yun's mind.

He swiftly took out his copied counterfeit Coffin of Slumber from his Containment Master ability and shoved Xu Yuan inside.

"Listen to me, you won't die!"

As he closed the coffin, he said this to the dying Xu Yuan.

Putting the Coffin of Slumber into the Containment Facility, Meng Yun's face turned icy cold.

Regardless of the other party's motives.

To cross two realms and attempt to beat an official to death had already crossed his bottom line.

What's more, this person was also his colleague and landlady.

Combination Realm?

He wanted to experience it for himself!
