309: Kill the Venerable Envoy, imprison his soul!

"Wishful thinking."

As those four words fell, it was as if his words carried the force of law.

The originally calm Blade and Sword Divine Domain suddenly erupted with a terrifying activity that made the Soul tremble!

Centered on that dark figure, the surrounding space instantly solidified and hardened!

It was not frozen or petrified, but completely filled, occupied, and dominated by endless, extremely dense Saber Intent and Sword Qi!

Every inch of air turned into the sharpest blade!

Every wisp of breeze became the most lethal Sword Qi!

The Black-Robed Demon Emissary's speeding figure suddenly came to a halt in mid-air, as if crashing into an invisible iron wall composed of billions of blades and swords!

The sneer on his face instantly froze, replaced by boundless shock and terror.

He felt his Demonic Technique, True Essence, and even his thoughts become stagnant and labored under this omnipresent sharp pressure!

"No!!!"

He let out a shrill, desperate shriek, frantically surging the Demonic Yuan within his body, attempting to detonate something or perform a final life-saving secret technique.

However, it was already too late... At the very moment his body was imprisoned, the two divine and demonic phantomss that were originally dealing with him and the Green Rhinoceros Demon King appeared on both sides of his body simultaneously, as if teleporting!

The divine phantom was brilliant, while the demonic phantom was grim.

One on the left and one on the right, they completely sandwiched him in the middle.

The golden giant sword in the divine phantom's hand was raised high, its blade shining brightly as the Luminous Sword Intent that purifies all things locked onto the emissary's Divine Soul!

The pitch-black demonic saber in the demonic phantom's hand slashed horizontally in silence; wherever the blade passed, even light was swallowed.

Leaving behind only a pure, all-destroying black trail, it aimed at the emissary's Demonic Body Origin!

There were no roars, no gathering of power, and not even any unnecessary movements.

There was only the purest, most direct... kill!

"Slay!"

From Li Shengyuan's mouth, a single word was softly uttered.

In the next instant.

The divine sword slashed down!

The demonic saber cut across!

The golden light of purification and the pitch-black mark of destruction converged at this moment upon the Black-Robed Demon Emissary's imprisoned body!

There was no earth-shaking bang, only a faint, tooth-aching "chi" sound of space itself being torn apart.

The Protective Demonic Light surrounding the Black-Robed Demon Emissary shattered instantly like paper.

His solidified dark body could not even last a single breath before the destructive power of interwoven light and darkness, and it began to collapse and disintegrate from within!

The final expression on his face was frozen in extreme fear and resentment, his pupils reflecting the approaching golden and black light.

He vainly raised his hands, trying to form seals, trying to self-detonate, trying to make a final struggle... but all resistance became a futile joke under the dual suppression of absolute power and the Domain.

"Puff..."

The Black-Robed Demon Emissary's Physical Body, along with all the clothes, accessories, and storage Magical Artifacts on him, silently turned into the finest dust and scattered with the wind after the interwoven golden and black light swept past.

Only his remnant Divine Soul was forcibly condensed and imprisoned by an invisible force.

It then turned into a mass of distorted, silently wailing blurry dim light, floating in mid-air, firmly locked by the omnipresent Blade and Sword Divine Charm around it, unable to even achieve self-annihilation.

From the black robe exploding and the emissary fleeing, to Li Shengyuan uttering "wishful thinking," to the divine and demonic phantomss teleporting to kill, the Physical Body being annihilated, and the Divine Soul being captured... in a flash, a genuine Second-Rank Esteemed Emissary with a high status in the Demonic Cult had met his end, leaving only a remnant Soul!

Silence!

A deathly silence enveloped these ruins, which were doubly covered by the Blade and Sword Divine Domain and the Nine Nether Heavens-Locking Array.

Only that mass of distorted dim light silently proved that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

The Green Rhinoceros Demon King's mountain-like body froze in place, his raised giant fist still in a charging posture.

The rage and frustration on his face had not yet fully faded, but they were already completely covered by boundless shock and fear.

His giant, bell-like eyes stared fixedly at the mass of dim light, then slowly turned toward Li Shengyuan, who still stood with his hands behind his back and an indifferent expression... a "he-he" sound like a broken bellows came from his throat, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

He finally personally experienced the terrifying weight that the three words "Li Shengyuan" represented!

It was not a rumor, not a conjecture, but a real, crushing threat of death!

Even an Esteemed Emissary of the Demonic Cult with similar strength to his own could not last a single encounter under the coordination of those divine and demonic phantomss and the strange Domain, being easily crushed and killed with his Divine Soul captured... what about himself?

A cold chill rushed from the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's tailbone straight to the top of his head, making his thick rock armor lose its warmth.

And Long Yun, standing behind Li Shengyuan and witnessing everything, had completely fallen into a state of petrification.

Her pretty face, which had been slightly flushed from the previous fierce battle and tension, was now only pale with shock.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, her pupils reflecting Li Shengyuan's not-so-imposing back that could nonetheless support the heavens and earth, as well as the mass of dim light in mid-air representing the complete fall of a second-rank powerhouse.

Her heart was thumping wildly in her chest, almost jumping out.

Strong... too strong!

Is this... Li Shengyuan's true strength?

In her understanding, the only one who could kill a second-rank powerhouse so effortlessly and with such ease was His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!

And now, she actually saw a similar demeanor in a man who was also of the Human Race and even younger than herself!

The agility and dominance of the divine and demonic phantomss, the subtlety and horror of the Blade and Sword Divine Domain, the indifferent yet all-seeing gaze when facing the enemy... each one deeply impacted Long Yun's perception.

Her previous thoughts of "yearning" and "wanting to challenge" Li Shengyuan seemed laughably naive in hindsight.

How was this a fellow peer Prodigy?

This was clearly a towering giant who already stood at the pinnacle of the world and could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dragon Emperor!

No wonder he dared to come to the Demon Domain alone... After the shock, an indescribable surge of complex emotions welled up in her heart.

There was the relief of surviving a disaster, and there was sincere awe and wonder at the demeanor of a powerhouse.

There was even a hint of a quietly sprouting flutter that she herself had not yet clarified.

Looking at Li Shengyuan's calmly standing back, Long Yun only felt her cheeks burning slightly; she subconsciously looked away, but couldn't help stealing another glance from the corner of her eye.

In this deathly and eerie atmosphere, Li Shengyuan slowly withdrew his gaze from the mass of dim light, as if he had only done something insignificant.

He turned around to face the Green Rhinoceros Demon King, whose body was stiff and whose Demonic Qi was in disarray.

The faint smile on his face appeared again, but this time, the coldness and mockery in his eyes had already turned into tangible killing intent.

He spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it was like the death knell of the Grim Reaper, ringing in the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's heart:

"Alright, the meddlesome bug has been dealt with."

"Now..."

Li Shengyuan gave a smile that could be called "gentle" to the pale, cold-sweat-drenched Green Rhinoceros Demon King.

"It's your turn, Green Rhinoceros Demon King!"
