So what if I kill him?

In the air, Liu Yun's pupils constricted.

But it wasn't out of fear, but out of excitement!

Today, she had sacrificed everything; although she could leave this place, her future path of cultivation would undoubtedly be difficult!

All of this was thanks to Zhong Qing and the Shen Family!

Since things had come to this, she might as well kill Zhong Qing first!

To aid her Dao Heart!

And turn it into a Karma for when she sought revenge on the Shen Family in the future!

"Come on!"

Liu Yun shrieked, waving her hand, and a burst of intense flames shot directly towards Zhong Qing.

And Zhong Qing, under the watchful eyes of countless Disciples, met it head-on.

When the flames and Zhong Qing met, the expected explosion did not occur.

Instead, there was absolute silence!

The incredibly dazzling light, like a blazing sun, seemed to be dragged into nothingness the moment it touched Zhong Qing's body.

It vanished into thin air!

And Zhong Qing, as if stepping on a cloud ladder, walked step by step towards Liu Yun!

"What?! How is this possible?!"

Liu Yun's pupils had narrowed into a thin line, and a clearly visible, taut blue vein appeared on her golden forehead!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Liu Yun frantically waved her hands as if insane, her twelve wings behind her flapping along with her movements!

Incredibly fierce attacks continuously pressed down on Zhong Qing.

But Zhong Qing, step by step, without the slightest pause.

Had already arrived before Liu Yun in mid-air!

From beginning to end, Zhong Qing had not suffered the slightest injury!

Even his white robes remained as pure as snow!

"Master... Master is actually unharmed?! Even with Shen Liu Yun burning her Saint Body and gaining strength almost comparable to the Supreme Realm, she couldn't harm Master in the slightest?!"

In the distant green mountains, Shen Jinkuo had just stood up, only to collapse back down into a sitting position!

This was truly unbelievable!

What Realm was Master, after all?!

"Heh heh, what's so surprising about that?"

A sneer sounded from behind Shen Jinkuo.

He turned around to see Xiao Hei and Xiao Ga lying behind him, leisurely gazing at the distant sky.

"We came to see if you were dead."

"If you can't stand up, just lie down obediently. Worrying about my Master is purely unnecessary."

Xiao Hei wagged his tail. When it came to trusting Zhong Qing.

Xiao Hei was definitely number one!

Xiao Ga followed closely behind.

"Ga! All unnecessary!"

Shen Jinkuo sat on the broken rock, his head buzzing.

Master... was already this powerful?

At this moment, Zhong Qing stood completely before Liu Yun.

The two faced each other.

In Liu Yun's terrified eyes, Zhong Qing spoke calmly.

"This life, you've reached your end."

He raised his hand, as if an Immortal bestowing a blessing, and pressed it down on Liu Yun's head, who had twelve wings and was glowing with golden light.

Even now, Liu Yun couldn't see even the slightest flow of Profound Qi on Zhong Qing's body.

Yet this seemingly ordinary palm strike made her feel a fatal threat!

She struggled to escape, but found her body firmly restrained in place!

"No! No! I, Shen Liu Yun, cannot die yet!"

"I cannot die yet!"

"Zhong Qing, stop! Stop!!!!"

Responding to Liu Yun's desperate screams was the crisp sound of a 'bang'.

Zhong Qing's palm descended!

All things perished!

The golden light around Liu Yun vanished into thin air!

And the twelve wings behind her also transformed directly into a sky full of golden feathers!

The gold faded, and blood emerged.

Her pale body, without any covering, withered away.

Her eyes, filled with desire and violence, also became vacant!

Under the gaze of countless people, Liu Yun.

This former Empress, who had sacrificed everything, utterly failed under Zhong Qing's single palm strike!

She collapsed powerlessly!

A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted from her mouth!

Her pale body was largely covered in blood, and Zhong Qing looked down at Liu Yun, who was almost lifeless.

He shook his head faintly.

At this moment, all the Senior Brothers and Disciples were already numb!

Her immense power, almost at the Venerable Realm, was still just a single palm strike in front of Master!

Just as they were about to cheer, a phantom drifted down from the sky.

It was a solemn and majestic golden Dharma Idol!

"Hongmeng... Hongmeng Great Emperor..."

"Great Emperor, are you here to save me...? I knew you wouldn't abandon me..."

"I am your Legacy walking in the world..."

Liu Yun, lying flat on the ground, murmured to herself.

She seemed to have lost all her strength, struggling to keep her eyelids open as she looked at the solemn and majestic Dharma Idol.

This was indeed the Hongmeng Great Emperor, the Hongmeng Great Emperor whose Legacy was destroyed in an instant after millions of years!

One shock after another left the Disciples of the Phoenix Feather Sect speechless.

And Zhong Qing still looked at the Great Emperor's Dharma Idol with a calm expression.

The Dharma Idol's solemn face looked down at the dying Liu Yun, with an indescribable complexity of meaning.

"Alas."

A sigh echoed leisurely in the high sky.

"Shen Liu Yun, you have, after all, made one mistake after another."

"There are so many great Dao in the world, yet you were blinded by a single leaf, walking into a desolate place."

"I cannot save you. The Hongmeng Legacy has already been destroyed by your own hands, hasn't it?"

Within the ethereal Dharma Idol, bursts of Sanskrit sounds arose, and as the Sanskrit sounds faded.

The Hongmeng Great Emperor looked at Zhong Qing, and the magnificent Dharma Idol bowed slightly towards Zhong Qing, as if expressing some apology.

Then, it gradually vanished into the air.

Never again did it look at Liu Yun on the ground.

When the Hongmeng Great Emperor's Dharma Idol completely disappeared, Liu Yun's eyes became utterly vacant.

As she lay flat, drops of bloody tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

"Why is all this, after all?"

"Was it really me, who was wrong?"

Liu Yun's voice grew weaker with each word, her breath shorter with each gasp.

In her blank, unfocused gaze, only the clear sky remained.

Then suddenly, a white figure appeared in her field of vision, obscuring most of the sky in her eyes.

Zhong Qing walked over, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding fallen leaves floated up, covering Liu Yun's naked, pale body.

At this moment, Liu Yun looked at Zhong Qing's figure and suddenly laughed inexplicably.

"It turns out that the one blinded by a single leaf was always myself..."

"I'm free... Everything is free..."

"How wonderful..."

"Alas..."

As Liu Yun's faint sigh fell, her eyes finally closed.

Her life had come to an end.

Zhong Qing looked at Liu Yun's pale face, wondering in his heart.

Before she died, did the bits and pieces of her past and present lives flash through her mind like a revolving lantern.

And how much of it was unwillingness, how much was regret.

More and more Disciples gathered around.

Looking at Zhong Qing, who had his eyes lowered, everyone remained silent.

Master's strength had been revealed today to a level they could not imagine.

And this Liu Yun had also displayed unimaginable power.

Such a powerful woman, she should have also become one of Master's Disciples.

What led to everything that happened now?

Silence echoed deafeningly among everyone.

Zhong Qing looked up and called Feng Buqun over.

"Find a place and bury her."

"Yes... Yes, Master!"

Just at this moment, the System's voice sounded again in Zhong Qing's mind.

"Detected that the Host has killed a future Disciple!"

"What do you want?"

"..."

"Try punishing me."

"This System will provide the Host with a new Disciple recruitment mission..."

"And provide the Host with two hundred Cultivation Technique rewards!"
