113: Zhunti's primordial spirit escaped, shocking Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun.

"seven treasures wonderful tree!"

His pupils shrinking, Zhunti could not believe Li Yun's appetite was actually so large.

The seven treasures wonderful tree.

That was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Moreover, it was his natal Spirit Treasure.

If he lost the seven treasures wonderful tree, at least fifty percent or more of his strength would be crippled.

At the same time, Zhunti understood that the Li Yun before him was a truly ruthless person. He clearly possessed Great Luo combat power, even stronger than an average Great Luo, yet he had never revealed it. He had used his Golden Immortal Realm cultivation to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, and Zhunti had actually been schemed against by him.

At this moment, he certainly didn't want to agree, but what could he do when he was the meat on the chopping block? If he made the slightest move, what awaited him was Li Yun's punch.

Under the assault of that power comparable to a Great Witch, his Primordial Spirit trembled and his Physical Body cracked, making it impossible for him to mobilize his strength to counterattack, escape, or save his life.

But to hand over the seven treasures wonderful tree just like that, Zhunti expressed he couldn't do it. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Li Yun, don't push people too far!"

"I can agree to other things, but the seven treasures wonderful tree is the foundation of my existence; I cannot give it to you. I..."

"Noisy!"

Before Zhunti could finish, Li Yun attacked again, throwing a punch that directly pierced through Zhunti's Dantian.

"Ah..."

A heart-wrenching scream echoed. Zhunti's eyes widened, and at this moment, his entire being was filled with disbelief.

His Dantian was destroyed!

His own Dantian had been destroyed.

Although it could be repaired, even if a shattered Dantian was restored, it would not be as powerful as before. This also meant that the value of this Physical Body would be greatly diminished.

"Li Yun~"

A gnashing roar resounded as Zhunti went completely mad.

A glow flashed at his brow, and his Primordial Spirit, carrying the seven treasures wonderful tree, flew out from within. It rapidly passed through the area Li Yun had sealed off. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Li Yun, I will never rest until one of us is dead."

After speaking, Zhunti directly burned his Divine Soul, transforming into a bloody light that instantly vanished from the spot with the seven treasures wonderful tree.

Li Yun took in this entire scene.

But he was also powerless to stop it.

Though he possessed Great Luo combat power, his Primordial Spirit cultivation was only at the Golden Immortal Realm.

This resulted in him being unable to prevent or even hinder the escape when the Primordial Spirit left the body.

Previously, it was precisely because he was wary of Zhunti self-detonating his Physical Body at any cost to escape that Li Yun hadn't made a move against his Sea of Consciousness and Primordial Spirit.

Now that Zhunti had fled, although he had taken the seven treasures wonderful tree, he had left behind that Physical Body manifested from the Bodhi Tree as its foundation.

"Not bad!"

"Although I didn't kill him completely, I've given him a lesson!"

"The most important thing is this Physical Body; its value is not low."

As he spoke, Li Yun waved his hand and stored Zhunti's Physical Body into his middle dantian space.

He didn't plan to fuse with it, as it didn't match his own value. Who knew if there would be something wrong with this body? Especially since it had been beaten into a riddled state by him.

However, it was transformed from a Bodhi Tree after all, which was a top-grade innate spiritual root. If he threw it into the swallowing heaven gourd to be converted into wine later, its value would definitely be immense.

Thinking of this, Li Yun no longer hesitated. He turned and unhesitatingly performed an Escape Technique, speeding off toward West Kunlun Mountain.

Not long after Li Yun left, two figures quietly appeared in a nearby area.

"I really underestimated Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"

"To actually defeat Zhunti and even make him lose his Physical Body!"

Zhenyuanzi's mouth hung open, feeling somewhat emotional.

They had felt the fluctuations of battle earlier and immediately sensed something was wrong, rushing back in a hurry.

But they never expected to directly see the scene of Zhunti being brutally beaten by Li Yun, which caused the two of them not to come out immediately.

"Indeed, a Physical Body comparable to a Great Witch!"

"Is this the Body Refining technique Fellow Daoist Li Yun exchanged with the Ancestral Witches? I previously thought it was just talk, but I didn't expect it to truly be so powerful!"

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun's talent for Body Refining is actually so formidable. With combat power comparable to a Great Luo, plus the fact that he is a Cultivator, once he grows up, none of us will be his match!"

Hongyun also spoke with a complex expression.

To be honest, he was also shocked by Li Yun's situation.

At the same time, he finally understood why Li Yun hadn't chosen to seek help from others while at Wuzhuang Temple and instead chose to face it himself.

Now he understood everything.

It wasn't that Li Yun didn't want to owe favors, but that he truly had the ability to solve these problems.

Great Luo combat power of the Physical Body.

Not a Great Witch yet better than a Great Witch, even more terrifying and unique than an average Great Witch. This was simply a life-taking fierce tiger that happened to look as gentle as a kitten on the surface.

"Old friend!"

After a long while, Zhenyuanzi snapped out of it, looked at Hongyun, and said, "You didn't have any intentions of using him, did you?"

"If not, then so be it, but if you did, old friend, you'd better give them up as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Hongyun gave a bitter smile.

He indeed had other thoughts, but he hadn't spoken them out, and they weren't easy to tell Zhenyuanzi.

But just as Zhenyuanzi said, with the power Li Yun had displayed now, he was no longer an existence he could casually scheme against. If he truly angered him, the person to pay the price would surely be himself.

Most importantly, Li Yun himself was already so powerful, plus he had good relationships with the Wu Clan and the Three Pure Ones. Hongyun truly didn't dare to have any more calculating thoughts toward him.

Thinking of this, Hongyun immediately said, "Let's go, let's look for the Spiritual Root first!"

"We'll still need to ask Fellow Daoist Li Yun for help later; I'll apologize to him then!"

"Good!"

Nodding, Zhenyuanzi also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Hongyun didn't get stuck in a dead end, that was enough for him.

Thinking of this, the two of them no longer hesitated and turned to unhesitatingly leave this area... On the other end, after performing a Primordial Spirit blood escape, Zhunti arrived at a deserted area.

At this moment, only his Primordial Spirit remained, and it was incredibly dim. Although the seven treasures wonderful tree still existed, his entire being was full of despondency, as if he had lost his spirit.

Swoosh—

Not long after, the sound of something breaking through the air echoed.

Looking toward the source, one could see Jieyin's figure rapidly approaching.

Upon arriving at the cave where Zhunti's Primordial Spirit was, he directly burst in. Seeing Zhunti's condition, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he cried out in shock, "Second Brother, you... how did this happen?"

"Big Brother, you're here."

Seeing Jieyin's figure, Zhunti gave a bitter smile and then briefly recounted the matter of how he had ambushed Li Yun but was instead counter-killed by him.

After finishing, Zhunti said with a dejected expression, "Big Brother, I'm ruined. My Physical Body was snatched by that fellow. Even if I get it back, the shattered Dantian has made that body lose its value. I..."
