163: Three breaths are enough

Hearing this, Xie Yang (Setting Sun)'s eyes involuntarily narrowed into slits.

Anyone could see his anger at this moment.

"Arrogant."

Jun Wuyou suddenly rebuked.

"You, a second-rate family, actually dare to disregard the God Emperor Palace."

"Today, I, this Lord, will teach you, this ignorant brat, a lesson on behalf of the God Emperor Palace."

Jun Wuyou's words were extremely vicious.

He directly stirred up conflict between the God Emperor Palace and the Zhang Family!

Zhang Boyue, standing beside Lin Mu, was also filled with terror at this moment.

Even though he knew Lin Mu's cultivation was heaven-defying,

the thought of the Zhang Family going against the behemoth that was the God Emperor Palace still made cold sweat pour down his back.

Seemingly noticing his junior's concern, Zhang Daoling spoke coldly.

"Just you?"

"It seems the lesson I gave you at the Zhang Family that day wasn't enough."

Zhang Daoling's contemptuous words deeply stung Jun Wuyou's self-esteem.

Just then, the old man who had been following Jun Wuyou's side suddenly sneered and said,

"It's beneath your status, sir, to bully a junior."

"How about this old man offers some pointers instead?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he flashed and appeared in front of Xie Yang (Setting Sun).

He politely said to Xie Yang (Setting Sun),

"Does Xie Yang (Setting Sun) God Lord mind if this old man teaches this arrogant fellow a lesson?"

Xie Yang (Setting Sun) showed a gentle smile and said, "Since Elder Zhong requests it, this junior naturally agrees."

"However, let's keep the sparring friendly; everyone here today is a guest, let's not hurt anyone's feelings."

Xie Yang (Setting Sun) seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just killed someone a moment ago.

The old man named Elder Zhong nodded slightly and said,

"Out of respect for Xie Yang (Setting Sun) God Lord, this old man will naturally hold back a few moves and not take his life."

Hearing Elder Zhong say this, Xie Yang (Setting Sun) took a step forward, and his person was already below the viewing platform.

Lin Mu watched the two of them act in concert, sneered, and said,

"Go, I want you to bring his head to me within ten breaths."

Lin Mu paused, then added,

"His, or yours."

Zhang Daoling smiled confidently upon hearing this.

"Three breaths are enough."

With that, his body appeared on the viewing platform.

As soon as Zhang Daoling's body appeared,

Elder Zhong stroked his beard with one hand and said,

"This old man's name is..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet.

When he heard Zhang Daoling say,

"This Lord has no interest in the names of the dead."

Because he had boasted in front of Lin Mu that he would take down the old man in three breaths,

Zhang Daoling no longer wasted words.

He raised his hand and unleashed a powerful move.

He pointed to the sky with one hand.

Three terrifying purple divine lightning bolts appeared above the old man's head without warning.

It was the Purple Cloud Divine Lightning he had used at the Zhang Family back then.

However, the momentum of this divine lightning was even grander.

The rumbling thunderous sound,

even the God Lord powerhouses sitting closer felt their scalps tingle.

Jun Wuyou knew how powerful this divine lightning was; he quickly raised his voice and said,

"Elder Zhong, be careful, this divine lightning is not to be underestimated."

Elder Zhong smiled calmly upon hearing this and said,

"Mere power of thunder, this old man can shatter it with a flick of a finger."

With that, Elder Zhong flicked a finger with one hand.

A golden light pillar shot towards the thunder.

Elder Zhong seemed very confident in his divine ability.

He didn't even put up any defenses.

Then, in the next second,

three terrifying divine lightning bolts struck down towards Elder Zhong.

Elder Zhong didn't expect that

his attack would have no effect on the divine lightning.

He instantly realized that he had been overconfident.

In a flash, he wanted to summon a magic treasure to protect himself.

But the speed of the divine lightning was too fast.

Before he could fully deploy the magic treasure, it struck his body.

Elder Zhong only felt that his soul was instantly shattered by the strike.

In his dying moments,

he saw a figure flying towards him.

Immediately after, he saw a headless body fall down.

This was the last image he saw before his death.

From Zhang Daoling's move to Elder Zhong's soul being annihilated and his head removed,

it took merely less than three breaths of time.

While everyone was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened,

Zhang Daoling had already arrived in front of Lin Mu, holding Elder Zhong's head in one hand.

Lin Mu merely glanced indifferently at the old man's head.

Then he said disdainfully, "Overestimating himself."

As soon as Lin Mu's words fell,

Zhang Daoling exerted force with one hand, and Elder Zhong's head was crushed into dust.

This God Lord powerhouse, famous for thousands of years, thus completely perished.

The Western God Emperor, sitting in the main seat, saw this scene.

Not only did he not get angry, but he even showed a satisfied smile.

The stronger Lin Mu performed, the greater his help would be to him.

It seemed he had already regarded Lin Mu as his subordinate.

However, some were happy, while others were worried.

Jun Wuyou was trembling all over at this moment.

He didn't even dare to speak out with harsh words.

This divine lightning had already become his nightmare.

His eyes constantly darted around,

seemingly wanting to grasp at a straw of hope.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the Western God Emperor.

Immediately, he was invigorated.

His body flew extremely fast to the God Emperor's throne.

He knelt on both knees, weeping profusely, and said,

"Please, God Emperor, uphold justice for my Jun Family; Elder Zhong died so miserably."

The God Emperor concealed the contempt in his eyes.

With a majestic expression, he said, "A dignified God Lord, what kind of decorum is this, weeping and wailing?"

Jun Wuyou was reprimanded by the Western God Emperor and immediately stopped crying.

He still didn't get up, quietly kneeling in place.

In broad daylight, the Western God Emperor still had to consider the Jun Family's reputation.

After all, the Jun Family was also a significant support for him.

Although he intended to subdue Lin Mu, he also wanted to use this opportunity to warn them.

Thinking of this, the Western God Emperor changed his tone and said,

"Get up; this Emperor will naturally uphold justice."

Jun Wuyou stood up excitedly upon hearing the Western God Emperor's words.

It seemed he also gained some confidence at this moment.

He looked at Zhang Daoling with a sinister gaze.

"I want you all to pay with your lives for Elder Zhong."

Zhang Daoling looked at Jun Wuyou, at his impotent barking.

He mockingly said, "When cultivators spar, injuries and deaths are inevitable."

"It's only to blame that he wasn't skilled enough."

"If Young Master Jun also wishes to spar a few moves with me, this Lord is happy to continue."

Jun Wuyou's face immediately turned ugly upon hearing this.

He knew his own capabilities.

Elder Zhong's strength was enough to rank among the top ten in the Jun Family.

Yet he was instantly killed by this person.

He, a God Lord who relied on external forces, could be instantly killed by Elder Zhong with a casual move.

Just as he was feeling awkward and unsure how to speak,

a hoarse voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist speaks very correctly."

"May I ask if this old woman can offer some pointers?"

This person's voice was extremely hoarse; every word sounded like fingernails scratching glass,

making it very unpleasant to listen to.

Just as everyone was looking for the owner of the voice,

an old woman appeared out of thin air in the middle of the viewing platform.

The old woman's appearance was unexpected by everyone.

The three terrifying divine lightning bolts just now seemed to have made all the God Lords present wary.

Even if they could withstand this divine lightning, they would pay a heavy price.

Unexpectedly, this old woman actually dared to provoke them proactively.

For a time, everyone was discussing the old woman's identity.
