30: Killing someone means destroying their spirit.

" Hahaha, how exciting! "

The moment the netherworld chariot sent Lin Zhi and Huyan Lie flying, a wild, arrogant laugh rang out.

Shen Lian flashed out from the carriage and leaped into the Void Realm.

Before Lin Zhi and Huyan Lie could react, furious palms and fierce fists fell upon them like raindrops, shaking the air in the Void Realm until it distorted and scattering the birds in flight.

The massive palm force, combined with the violent power of the Dao Rhyme, carried the two Heavenly Feather Sect peak Revered Masters directly into the higher clouds.

Rumble—the thunder was incessant, the Aura roiling, forcing the wind and clouds to change color.

" Ah— "

Accompanied by two shrill wails, Lin Zhi and Huyan Lie fell instantly from high in the sky.

Bang~

The moment they hit the ground, the two rocks underneath shattered into pieces instantly.

At this moment, their faces were covered in blood, their bones broken, and under Shen Lian's frenzied onslaught, they had been reduced to complete trash.

" Is this the strength of the Heavenly Feather Sect peak Revered Masters? Is this the Disciple that the Old Wall Lamp of Tianyu relies on? Hahahaha, you've cracked me up! "

With a disdainful chuckle in the Void Realm, Shen Lian waved his Folding Fan and landed lightly in front of the two.

" Shen... Shen Lian... how... is it... is it you... "

" No... impossible, why is your cultivation... why is it so... so formidable... "

After witnessing the true face of their attacker, Lin Zhi and Huyan Lie could not believe that the one who made a move was actually that lowly simp who was spurned by the entire Sect!

" Let me think, you must be very surprised right now, why I would appear here, is that right? "

Shen Lian didn't even look at the two of them, just turned his back and said slowly.

" Explaining this question to two running dogs like you is just a waste of breath. You just need to know that after today, your names will no longer exist in this world. "

Lin Zhi vomited a mouthful of blood, struggled to lift his hand, which felt as heavy as a thousand catties, and forced out a breath: " Shen Lian, you dare to betray the Sect, are you not afraid of the Old Ancestor and your seven Senior Sisters finding out? "

" An old trash, leading seven white-eyed wolves, plus a castrated dog without balls—with such a lineup, where do you get the courage to think I, Shen Lian, would take you seriously? Before considering the fate of others, I advise you to consider the outcome of today clearly! "

Shen Lian turned around abruptly, closed his Folding Fan, and a burst of Spiritual Pressure surged from his entire body.

The next moment, the dantian sea inside their bodies was completely shattered.

" Ah— "

With a scream, the pain of the Spiritual Pressure backlash instantly swept through every inch of their skin.

" Painful? That is correct. Recall how you targeted me back then; I am just returning it all to you now. With your dantian sea shattered, your cultivation that you painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years is broken, and your body and mind will quickly become incomparably old. Having experienced this outcome, do you regret colluding with the seven white-eyed wolves to scheme against me? "

Huyan Lie glared with bloodshot eyes, staring fixedly at Shen Lian: " You Little Beast, you will die a horrible death! The Old Ancestor was right, you are indeed a disaster! "

" A fine disaster, hahaha! "

Shen Lian laughed coldly.

" When I brought the Heavenly Feather Sect from third-rate to its current height, why did no one say I was a disaster? "

" When I offered Spiritual Veins and Spirit Treasures to the Sect, why did no one say I was a disaster? "

" When I found the Secret Realm entrance for the Sect, why did no one say I was a disaster? "

" When I lifted you trash out of the mud, let you wear gold and silver, and let you experience the feeling of being superior to others, why did no one say I was a disaster? "

" Now, when I am merely beating you trash back to the position that ants should occupy, you all curse me as a disaster? Even at death's door, you are still spouting that warped logic instilled in you by the Old Wall Lamp and the white-eyed wolves! "

" Let me tell you, the Heavenly Feather Sect was propped up by me, Shen Lian, single-handedly! Without me, Shen Lian, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the Monster Beast Mountain Range now! "

" I can give you trash everything, and I still have the power to take it all back. When you started to constantly target me for the sake of a piece of trash who is a so-called son of heavenly mandate, when you started to indiscriminately use the most despicable means to torture me, your pathetic fate was already doomed. Dogs only deserve to return to the position they belong in, not to learn to walk like humans. It's a pity I was so stupid before, actually naively thinking I could domesticate a group of animals into humans. Since you have determined that I am a disaster, then I will simply make this disaster a reality! It's too ridiculous, too naive. I am so naive that I can't help but laugh, hahahahaha— "

Listening to Shen Lian's nearly insane laughter, Lin Zhi and Huyan Lie couldn't stop trembling all over.

They had never imagined that one day, that rotten, smelly salted fish would actually turn over.

" Shen Lian! Think of your Revered Master, would she be willing to see you like this? "

Lin Zhi played the emotional card at the end, wanting to use Shen Chuyun to awaken Shen Lian's " conscience ".

However, Shen Lian was completely unmoved: " When I, Shen Lian, act, why should I care about the opinions of others? The people I want to kill, the people I want to protect—who can stop me! A bunch of cheap dogs think that by shouting a few names, they can vainly try to make me feel lingering fear? I can only tell you, your methods are so inferior that I feel no ripples at all. "

After speaking, Shen Lian stomped his foot.

Instantly, the ground sank three feet, directly causing Lin Zhi and Huyan Lie to fall into the large pit.

As time passed, their originally sturdy bodies were aging at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Shen Lian sat in front of the giant pit playfully, gently waving his Folding Fan: " Watching you age overnight and then wither away to death is truly a pleasing enjoyment. "

" You... "

Huyan Lie raised his hand, wanting to say something, but suddenly discovered that the skin on his arm began to shrivel rapidly.

The next moment, endless exhaustion struck.

Looking at Lin Zhi on the side, he had already turned into a decrepit old man who could have his funeral feast at any moment.

At this moment, the threat of death shrouded their hearts, and fear spread throughout their bodies like poisonous weeds.

The two just lay on the ground like this, looking at each other, unable to say a word.

They never expected that they, dignified Cultivators of the Void Refining Realm, would actually have to die of old age in such a pathetic way.

Just at this time, a Medicinal Pill emitting a rich medicinal fragrance fell between the two.

" This Medicinal Pill can extend life by a hundred days. If you swallow it, perhaps you might have a chance to make a comeback. However, there is only one, which counts as the last bit of mercy I, Shen Lian, give to you two dogs. "

The two who were originally closing their eyes waiting for death heard this, and instantly their eyes had light. They struggled to squirm their heavy bodies, wanting to swallow this Medicinal Pill into their mouths.

" Do not think about sharing it. If even a bit of this Medicinal Pill is lost, its efficacy will be completely gone. "

As soon as Shen Lian said this, the two looked up in disbelief.

When that cold, gloomy face came into view, a term simultaneously appeared in their minds: Killing the person, punishing the heart.

But right now, even knowing this was Shen Lian's heart-punishing scheme, in order to survive, the two had to fight to the death to contend for it.

" Ah... " " Woo... "

As time passed, their brain cells also began to age rapidly, and their language functions gradually began to degenerate. The only remaining consciousness was to be able to get that life-saving pill.

The two desperately twisted their bodies, slowly moving toward the pill.

The exhausted posture, the aged bodies—from Shen Lian's perspective, the two below were just like two shriveled maggots, slowly squirming.

Finally, just as Huyan Lie opened his mouth and was about to touch the Medicinal Pill, his pupils dilated, and he stopped breathing forever.

Seeing this, a flash of wild joy crossed Lin Zhi's mind.

However, when he used his last bit of strength to swallow the mud-covered Medicinal Pill into his mouth, he didn't have any strength left to send it into his stomach.

" Ah... ah... ah... "

He tried hard to swallow the Medicinal Pill, but his aged intestines and shriveled, lifeless throat were extremely resistant to his physiological instincts.

" Cough cough... uh... "

Finally, with a cough, Lin Zhi spat out the Medicinal Pill, his head tilted to the side, and he collapsed next to that Medicinal Pill, also losing his vital signs.

" Hmph. "

Confirming that the two were dead, Shen Lian just let out a cold snort and turned to walk towards the netherworld chariot.

Having dealt with this group of petty scum, the next goal was the Seal of the Demon Cave a thousand miles away.

" Today, let the world re-acquaint itself with a reborn Shen Lian. "

Jumping onto the carriage, Shen Lian sped directly toward the final destination of this trip.
