31: Chapter 31 Defeating Li Xuanyi

At this moment, time seemed to have been put in slow motion.

Before that sun-blotting golden hand, Li Xuanyi's ultimate strike, fueled by his burning essence blood and every ounce of his strength...

That blood-colored sword beam, powerful enough to threaten a Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator, was as fragile as a joke.

It didn't even touch the palm of the giant hand before being crushed into powder by the terrifying pressure, dissipating into the air.

"No... No... No!"

Li Xuanyi's pupils dilated to their limit from extreme terror as he watched the golden hand.

It pressed down slowly like the sky falling, yet he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

All his pride, all his trump cards, and all his hope were crushed to pieces at this moment.

Boom—!

With a deafening roar, the entire Myriad Flower Secret Realm shook violently.

The ground around the Marrow Cleansing Pool was forcibly slammed into a bottomless, giant palm print.

The dust settled.

In the center of the deep pit, Li Xuanyi was embedded in the mud like a pile of sludge, every bone in his body shattered.

Blood and fragments of internal organs continuously gushed from his mouth, his aura weakened to the extreme.

He wasn't dead yet.

Su Yun had intentionally controlled his strength to leave him with a breath of life. Because killing him would be too easy on him.

Su Yun slowly dispersed the Dharma Body Manifestation behind him, his face slightly pale.

This move had indeed consumed over seventy percent of his spiritual energy and vital blood, but the effect was outstanding.

Step by step, he walked to the edge of the pit and looked down at the half-dead Li Xuanyi at the bottom.

The entire field was dead silent.

Everyone was still immersed in the world-destroying scene from just now, unable to snap out of it.

Zhao Tie and his lackeys all had their mouths agape, completely unaware that they were drooling.

The way they looked at Su Yun could no longer be described as mere admiration; it was as if they were looking at a god!

Chu Ying, on the other hand, had completely collapsed to the ground, shaking like a leaf. In her eyes, there was nothing left but endless fear.

Only now did she understand what Su Yun meant when he said, "Don't come crying and begging me."

This man was a devil! A true devil!

Su Yun ignored everyone else and just quietly watched Li Xuanyi at the bottom of the pit.

"I said I would cripple you."

He raised his foot, about to stomp down on Li Xuanyi's Dantian.

"No!"

Chu Ying shrieked and scrambled over, hugging Su Yun's leg and begging through her tears.

"Senior Brother Lin Chen! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please, spare Senior Brother Li! He already knows he was wrong!"

"The marrow cleansing spiritual liquid! I don't want the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid anymore! I'll give it all to you! All of it!"

She pulled the jade bottle containing the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid from her robes and held it high, trying to trade it for Li Xuanyi's life.

Su Yun looked down at her tear-streaked face, then at the jade bottle in her hand, and suddenly smiled.

"You only think of giving it to me now?"

"Too late."

Su Yun kicked her away and then, under Li Xuanyi's terrified and desperate gaze, stomped his right foot down hard!

"Pfft—"

A muffled thud.

Li Xuanyi's Dantian shattered. His vast spiritual energy was like air escaping a punctured ball, instantly dissipating from his body.

From then on, he would never be able to Cultivate again, becoming an utter cripple.

"Ah—!"

The excruciating pain of his Dantian being destroyed and the despair of his path to the Dao being severed made Li Xuanyi let out a shrill, inhuman howl.

"Lin Chen! You crippled me! You actually dared to cripple me!"

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared venomously at Su Yun and roared.

"My grandfather is the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall! He won't let you off! There will be no place for you in the entire Mysterious Maiden Sect! You're dead! You're dead!"

"Is that so?"

Su Yun expressionlessly walked up to him and, with another stomp, broke both his legs.

"I'll be waiting."

Having said that, he no longer looked at the man who had become a complete waste. He turned around, picked up the jade bottle containing the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid from the ground, and weighed it in his hand.

"Many thanks for Senior Sister Chu Ying's 'gift'."

Then, he flashed a bright smile at Chu Ying, who was slumped on the ground with a face as ashen as death.

Chu Ying looked at him, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

She knew she was finished: not only had she offended a devil she couldn't afford to provoke...

...but she had also personally pushed the man she loved into an abyss of eternal damnation.

Su Yun ignored her and turned to Zhao Tie and the others.

"Clean this place up. You guys can split all the spoils."

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Zhao Tie and his group were overjoyed and hurried forward to clear the battlefield.

But just as Su Yun turned around, another change occurred!

A flash of crazed determination crossed the crippled Li Xuanyi's eyes. He suddenly pulled out one last Talisman from his robes and crushed it!

It was a black Talisman engraved with eerie runes.

"Blood Escape Ten-Thousand-Mile Talisman!"

Buzz!

A mass of blood-colored light instantly enveloped Li Xuanyi.

"Lin Chen! I, Li Xuanyi, swear! The humiliation of today shall be repaid a hundredfold in the future! Just you wait!"

Amidst his venomous roars, Li Xuanyi's figure turned into a streak of blood-light and vanished instantly.

"Trying to run?" Su Yun's brow furrowed. He was about to give chase, but the speed of that Blood Escape Talisman was too fast; it was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, he got away," Su Yun spat, somewhat annoyed.

But it didn't matter.

A waste with a destroyed Dantian and broken legs wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble even if he escaped.

"Senior Brother, what now?" Zhao Tie approached and asked.

"What now?"

Su Yun shook the jade bottle in his hand, the corners of his mouth curling up again.

"Of course... find a place to drink this stuff. Then, Breakthrough to the Golden Core stage!"

He was already at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and with this marrow cleansing spiritual liquid, a Breakthrough to the Golden Core stage would be natural.

Once he broke through to the Golden Core stage, his strength would surely skyrocket again.

Su Yun found a hidden cave and had Zhao Tie and the others act as Protectors outside while he impatiently began his secluded meditation.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the one-month period for the Myriad Flower Secret Realm had come to an end.

Buzz—

On the Main Peak Square of the Mysterious Maiden Sect, the giant Rainbow Vortex reappeared.

Figures were teleported out of the vortex one after another.

Most of the Disciples who emerged looked disheveled, and many were even injured.

Clearly, this month-long journey into the Secret Realm had not been easy for them.

When Su Yun stepped out of the vortex, spirited and with a restrained aura, he immediately drew everyone's attention.

From the high platform, Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin rushed down immediately, surrounding him and showering him with concern.

"Xiao Chen, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, let me see."

On the other side, the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Li Changfeng, looked at his grandson, who was being carried out on a stretcher, covered in blood and now a cripple.

His old face instantly turned livid, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from his body!

"Lin! Chen!"

Li Changfeng's eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Su Yun, his voice sounding as if it were squeezed through his teeth.

"What audacity! How dare you harm a fellow Disciple and destroy my grandson's cultivation! Today, if I do not tear you into ten thousand pieces, I am not fit to be human!"

Before he even finished speaking, his terrifying Late Nascent Soul Stage pressure bore down on Su Yun like a collapsing mountain or a tsunami!
