171: Mutations

"Drip, drip, drip—"

Blood flowed like water from the severed body.

"Ah~~"

The half-body held in Shen Lian's hand let out a roar that didn't sound human.

Yang Paitian never expected that his Immortal Realm fifth-level cultivation would lead to such a tragic end.

Before, due to Lin Chuan's death, his mind was filled with the sole desire to shatter Shen Lian. So, the moment he caught up to the netherworld chariot, he didn't realize that he had already been thoroughly outmaneuvered by Shen Lian.

The moment he entered the netherworld chariot, what awaited him was Lin Chuan's Natal Spiritual Artifact—the exquisite treasure saber.

After Shen Lian killed Lin Chuan, he had already set a killing move, placing the exquisite treasure saber across the entrance of the chariot, just waiting for Yang Paitian to take the bait.

As a result, Yang Paitian indeed fell into the trap. When he flipped onto the chariot, a sudden rush caused him to directly collide with the blade.

The Yin and Yang Heavenly Flame passed in an instant, cruelly cutting him in half at the waist, thus leading to his current state.

"Kill me, just kill me!"

The vitality of an Immortal Realm expert was exceptionally tenacious; even being cut in half, he didn't die immediately.

The intense pain made Yang Paitian let out roars, now he only wished for death to be free.

"This is the price for abetting evil. With just a small trick, two Immortal Realm experts were directly suppressed and killed. If you had even a shred of rationality, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Shen Lian held the saber in one hand and Yang Paitian's half-body in the other, covered in blood, resembling a malevolent god descending upon the world.

Mu Yaoguang opposite felt her entire body go limp, letting out a soft moan, and collapsed directly onto the rooftop in fright.

"Beast, may you die a horrible death, a horrible death!"

Yang Paitian, in unbearable pain, continuously cursed Shen Lian with the most vicious words.

"Shen Lian, you despicable wretch, you dare not openly duel us, instead using these base and underhanded methods. Even if I die, I will not let you off!"

Shen Lian, however, looked indifferent: "Listening to the impotent barks of ants before their death is also a pleasing enjoyment.

Do you know where you went wrong? Your biggest mistake was appearing with that bitch. Otherwise, even if you died, you could have died with dignity.

Alas, you had to provoke Shen Lian's wrath. Who else can you blame for ending up like this?

After all, I already gave you two trash an opportunity. It was you who didn't cherish it and insisted on walking down a path of no return. Now that you've come to this end,

One can only say that with your wretched small brain and understanding, even with the power to change your fate, you are ultimately just trash slightly nobler than an ant, nothing more!"

After speaking, Shen Lian placed the exquisite treasure saber on Yang Paitian's neck.

"However, considering your ignorance, I'll give you a quick death."

Pfft—

A flash of bloody light, and Yang Paitian's body below the neck immediately fell to the dust, only his head remained firmly grasped in Shen Lian's hand.

At this moment, Yang Paitian, divided into three sections, finally found liberation.

But darkness quickly engulfed his consciousness entirely, until everything fell silent.

"Now, it's your turn."

Dropping the head, Shen Lian's blood-stained left hand slowly rose, pointing directly at Mu Yaoguang opposite.

Mu Yaoguang felt a chill run through her blood, and her legs trembled even more violently than before.

"Mu Yaoguang, which way do you plan to die? Tell me now, and I can generously grant your wish!"

Shen Lian stepped out into the Void Realm, his footsteps creating ripples in the air, walking step by step towards Mu Yaoguang opposite.

Mu Yaoguang was already so scared she didn't know what to do. Her survival instinct made her struggle to get up and kneel, constantly kowtowing to Shen Lian.

"Senior Brother, I beg you, don't kill me, I know I was wrong."

"Actually, these past few years, I've always lived in regret. You were so good to me, yet I treated you so heartlessly."

"Senior Brother, listen to me, listen to me. I am already the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. If you are willing, we can get married immediately.

I will bear you many children, I will be a virtuous wife and loving mother, and strive to become the person you like."

"If you're still angry, then treat me as your Cauldron and do whatever you want. Please, Senior Brother, I really don't want to die."

Listening to Mu Yaoguang's tearful and continuous words of repentance, Shen Lang remained completely unmoved.

With each step creating a ripple, he arrived before her in a blink of an eye, looking down with a condescending Aura at the ant kneeling before him.

"Senior Brother, don't kill me, I really don't want to die!"

Mu Yaoguang trembled with fear, constantly begging loudly for mercy.

Shen Lian's lips curled: "You're not regretting, you just know you're about to die. But you don't need to worry, five souls are already in my hands.

You'll be the sixth one soon. Considering your hypocritical yet sincere performance, I'll make an exception and give you a quick death!"

With that, Shen Lian directly raised his palm and brought it down towards Mu Yaoguang's head.

Boom—

A burst of extreme Qi flow surged up, instantly destroying all the surrounding scenery.

A figure rapidly retreated in the dust, until his feet pressed against a wall behind him, only then barely stopping his momentum.

"Shocking power!"

Shen Lian's gaze was solemn as he looked at Mu Yaoguang standing in the center of the storm.

At this moment, Dao Rhyme poured out from Mu Yaoguang's body, and an extreme Aura Pressure soared into the sky.

"Shen Lian! Why do you force me!"

With an angry roar, Mu Yaoguang's voice became indistinguishable between male and female.

But her bright eyes were now exceptionally bloodshot.

"Hahahaha, so there's such a surprise. Then I won't hesitate to accept it."

Far from being afraid, Shen Lian's Battle Intent grew even more fervent as his opponent became stronger.

"Let me see if this Divine Soul power remaining in your body can crush Shen Lian's will."

Mu Yaoguang: "Then as you wish, Eight Forms of Heaven and Earth: Heaven-Devouring Evil Palm."

As the Eight Forms of Heaven and Earth appeared, distinct Qi waves rushed directly towards Shen Lang.

"Void Concealment: Absorbing Momentum."

Shen Lian unleashed Void Concealment, absorbing all the Qi waves and evil flames.

"Void Concealment: Heavenly Sea Raging Tide!"

At the same time, a palm struck out with a thunderous counterattack.

Boom—

A shocking explosion resounded throughout the cosmos, and cracks gradually appeared in the surrounding air.

Seeing this, Mu Yaoguang sneered in response: "No wonder there's no one in Xiyue City. So you set up a Yin and Yang Barrier.

It's a pity, your scheme is ultimately doomed to fail. Anyone who obstructs my path must be completely eradicated!"

With a roar, Mu Yaoguang raised her palm and directly struck towards Shen Lian.

"Void Concealment: Heaven and Earth Overturn!"

Shen Lian raised his hand to meet the palm.

Immediately, the entire Barrier began to show signs of cracking.

"Hah—"

With a soft shout, Mu Yaoguang, using the power of the City Lord's Mansion, actually pushed Shen Lian back several steps.

"Shen Lian, the only outcome for opposing me is death, hahaha!"

Seeing Shen Lian about to be defeated, Mu Yaoguang actually burst into laughter.

"One more move, and I'll send you to your regretful end!"
