142: Enjoy the thrill

"Hahahaha—"

The laughter shook the universe as an arrogant figure descended from the Void Realm.

Boom~

The moment he landed, shockwaves surged, instantly sweeping away the Cultivators with low cultivation nearby.

"Shen Lian!"

Seeing the newcomer, a flash of surprise crossed Song Xiangyun's face, followed by poorly concealed excitement.

"I didn't expect you would actually dare to show your face!"

"I came here just to see what kind of expression you, this bitch, would have while standing on high at the final moment of your life."

Shen Lian closed his Folding Fan and stared quietly at Song Xiangyun.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

As a result, he made a mocking sound.

"Beast in human clothing, human face with a beast's heart, a disgrace to the refined—no vocabulary can describe how stupid you, this bitch, look at this very moment!"

The smile on Song Xiangyun's face stiffened.

Now, seeing Shen Lian, she finally realized that this lowly simp was no longer the person she was familiar with.

"Shen Lian!"

Just then, a Cultivator in the crowd suddenly roared while brandishing a blade.

"You traitor who betrays his master and ancestors, to dare appear before us publicly! Since you've walked right into our trap, accept your fate! Yah~"

Truly, ignorance is fearless. As soon as the Cultivator finished shouting, he charged directly with his blade to slash at Shen Lian's back.

Ah—

As a result, a scream accompanied a soft explosion.

The Cultivator hadn't even come within thirty meters of Shen Lian before his body was shattered by a mere wisp of the Aura Pressure he emitted.

After the boom, the ground was covered in drifting blood mist and scattered skeletons.

"An ant shaking the heavens is worthy of respect, but ignorant recklessness deserves death."

Shen Lian muttered without looking back, ignoring the terrified and surprised gazes around him, and walked straight toward Song Xiangyun.

Song Xiangyun met that sharp, murderous gaze and said calmly: "Senior Brother, it's been months, you really have changed a lot."

"I have changed, changed enough to tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Shen Lian stood with his hands behind his back. The wind whipped up, blowing his cape behind him, and his sharp eyes held not a shred of emotion.

"Do not approach the Alliance Leader!"

Just then, the Alliance Leaders Mansion Disciples on both sides roared and attacked Shen Lian in unison, attempting to halt his advance.

"Yah~"

Boom—

After another series of screams, there were a dozen more scattered skeletons in the venue.

They were all crushed by the Aura Pressure Shen Lian emitted, yet it did not stop his forward progress.

"amitabha buddha, how cruel."

Seeing the state of these low-level Cultivators' deaths, Virtuous and Universal couldn't help but silently recite a buddhist mantra.

The other Cultivators were also secretly shocked.

Only Song Xiangyun remained calm, completely unaffected.

"Song Xiangyun, I heard you were rallying Cultivators from all over the world to kill me, Shen Lian. Upon hearing this news, I rushed here without stopping, arriving just before your stupid meeting ended. It seems that over the years, you, this bitch, have managed to look more and more like a human."

"Senior Brother, it seems you have fallen too deep into the demonic path; you are beyond saving."

"Hahahaha, beyond saving?"

Shen Lian suddenly stopped three meters away from Song Xiangyun.

"Since I am beyond saving, then I shall go completely mad until all seven of you die in the most lowly manner possible; only then can this rage be quelled!"

The next moment, he pointed at the crowd: "Among you, some are here for the common people, some to defend the Dao, and some for justice. There are thousands of reasons to want to kill me, but no matter what your true inner thoughts are, I don't care. I just want to tell you, since the purpose of your gathering here is to kill Shen Lian, then I will give you this opportunity! Today, Shen Lian will write the first legend of my life here on Tianji Mountain, ahahahaha!"

His wild voice overflowed, without the slightest bit of restraint.

His arrogant posture and disdainful gaze were as if he were looking at a group of ants struggling in vain.

The Cultivators were shaken by the intense Battle Intent radiating from Shen Lian, and not a single one dared to move; they only gripped their weapons, focusing their full attention on him.

"Senior Brother!"

Song Xiangyun closed her eyes, a flash of pain crossing her face.

She slowly jumped down from her jade staff and clenched her right hand.

"This is the last time I will call you Senior Brother. Shen Lian, you are truly beyond saving. Since you have delivered yourself to my doorstep, as the Alliance Leader of the Northern Domain Profound Sect Alliance, I have no choice but to eliminate you for the sake of the world!"

"Hahahaha!"

Song Xiangyun's words only drew an even more unbridled laugh from Shen Lian.

"To kill me, Shen Lian, do you think a formation like this is enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingshuang was the first to stand up, pointing her sword at Shen Lian and shouting: "Shen Lian, I ask you, did you kill Yun Xiyue?"

"A shameless pheasant, so what if I killed her? Li Qingshuang, since you, the head hen, have offered yourself up, let's end our past grievances with your life today!"

Profound Mechanism Master also spoke up: "Shen Lian, for betraying your master and ancestors, and harming fellow practitioners of the Profound Sect, my Yushu Sect will certainly not spare you."

"amitabha buddha."

Virtuous and Universal pressed his palms together, "Shen Lian, your demonic roots are deep, you are beyond saving. This Poor Monk must set aside compassion and send you to Reincarnation."

Shen Lian: "Are you done with the nonsense? If you are, then let's begin!"

He raised his hand again and pointed, scanning everyone in the venue, finally fixing his gaze on Song Xiangyun.

"Come, just come! Whether it's schemes and plots or a wheel of attacks, I only hope you can make me enjoy myself, make me feel the thrill!"

"Set up the formation!"

As soon as Shen Lian's bold words fell, Song Xiangyun immediately grabbed her green jade staff and retreated behind the crowd.

"Three Talents Killing Formation."

Immediately, three elite Disciples of the Alliance Leaders Mansion at the Tribulation Crossing Realm stepped out, activating their techniques in the east, west, and north to set up the killing formation.

In just three breaths, the Tianji Mountain venue was enveloped by a spiritual barrier thick with a murderous aura.

The Three Talents Killing Formation could temporarily elevate the state of mind of the Disciples within it, making them fearless of death and allowing them to unleash their full potential; it was one of the noble formations of the Northern Domain Alliance Leaders Mansion.

"Kill!"

The moment the formation was set, Song Xiangyun waved her jade staff.

"Kill~~"

Hundreds of Alliance Leaders Mansion Disciples let out deafening roars, charging toward Shen Lian in unison.

Tianji Mountain was thoroughly reduced to a battlefield.

"A useless formation dares to trap a Dragon?"

With a sneer of disdain, Shen Lian flicked the cape behind him.

Boom—

In an instant, a hundred Alliance Leaders Mansion Disciples were reduced to nothing, leaving no bones behind.

"Stupid to the point of being hair-raising!"

With another turn, as his Aura Pressure swept through, the remaining Alliance Leaders Mansion Disciples in the formation all had their bodies explode and die.

"Kill, eliminate the demons and defend the Dao, this is the day!"

Blood and Battle Intent, combined with the oppressive atmosphere, instantly ignited an even more brutal battle.

Seeing the Alliance Leaders Mansion Disciples fearlessly rushing to their deaths, the Disciples of the other sects finally began to act, howling as they surrounded and attacked Shen Lian.

Regarding the situation before him, the madman Shen Lian felt not a shred of fear.

On the contrary, it stirred up an even thicker Battle Intent.

"Thrilling, thrilling, so thrilling, hahahaha—"

The thrill of combat immediately drove Shen Lian into a state of madness.

He held one hand toward the sky, and the moment his palm slammed into the ground—

Boom—

A massive explosion caused the mountain rocks to shatter.

In mid-air, there were countless figures of Cultivators sent flying by the power of Shen Lian's palm.

And the madman standing in the center had blood-red eyes: "Come, make it more thrilling for me, make me enjoy it more, don't disappoint me, hahahaha—"
