Chapter 685: A Curse Killing Technique!
Meanwhile, several thousand meters away from Li Yun, Peng Yan’s corpse was suspended in mid-air.
It looked as if an invisible palm was strangling his neck, preventing his body from falling to the ground.
His face was pale, his body was swollen, and his entire appearance was miserable to the extreme. His eyes bulged like those of a dead fish, filled with fear and despair. It was impossible to imagine what kind of torture he had suffered before ending up in such a state.
Standing before his corpse were three people.
They wore amber, ochre, and emerald robes respectively. Looking at Peng Yan’s miserable death, their faces were actually filled with enjoyment, as if they were admiring a carefully made work of art.
If Li Yun were here, he would immediately recognize that the ochre-robed cultivator among them was precisely Bu Cangxuan, the Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy under the Ironblood Holy Son.
"Jie jie, what a truly useless piece of trash."
The Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy casually struck out with a palm, shattering Peng Yan’s corpse into pieces. "Such a useless existence does not even make me want to refine him into a puppet. It is better to simply destroy him."
"They were only a group of trash to begin with. What more did you expect?"
The Emerald-Robed Holy Envoy spoke indifferently.
His face was eerie, and his pupils were covered with a layer of strange green light, making him look extremely sinister. The aura radiating from him was much stronger than that of the Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy, and it had already reached the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
As for the Amber-Robed Holy Envoy, he was at the 8th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
However, since he was one of the Seven Holy Envoys, he naturally possessed his own special ability.
He gently plucked at the void with both hands, causing strange ripples to spread out like water patterns. Suddenly, a weird smile appeared on his face.
"Everyone, I have discovered something interesting."
With a sinister smile and a flick of his hands, a black fly the size of a finger appeared before the three of them.
From its pair of pitch-black compound eyes, a dark and translucent light was projected, forming a mirror-like image.
Within that mirror image, Li Yun’s figure was clearly visible.
"Hm? It is this kid?"
The Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy’s face immediately turned ugly.
Although his failure to kill Li Yun last time had been due to Elder Zi Canglan’s interference, he had still been severely punished by the Ironblood Holy Son upon returning to the Ironblood Sect. He had nearly lost his status as a Holy Envoy because of that failure.
Because of this, his heart was filled with resentment toward Li Yun.
The moment he saw Li Yun again, powerful killing intent instantly erupted from him.
"Ochre Robe, do not do anything reckless."
The Emerald-Robed Holy Envoy glanced at the Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy and said indifferently, "This Li Yun is someone the Holy Son personally named to deal with himself. Do you wish to provoke the Holy Son’s anger?"
"This..."
The Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy’s expression froze, and he was momentarily speechless.
"However, while we cannot kill that kid, there is no harm in testing him on behalf of the Holy Son before his clone arrives."
The Emerald-Robed Holy Envoy revealed an eerie smile. "Let me see just what kind of ability this kid has."
His lips curled slightly as he suddenly pinched his fingertip.
Nine drops of pitch-black blood instantly shot out. Each drop emitted a strange and sinister aura before flying into the mirror image at the same time.
"Hm?"
At the same time, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Li Yun’s heart, as if something evil was about to descend upon him.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Suddenly, nine drops of thick pitch-black blood flew in from an unknown location.
The nine drops of black blood emitted a sinister aura and abruptly gathered together.
Splash!
Immediately, the nine drops of black blood rapidly twisted and changed, eventually transforming into a small black figure. It radiated billowing evil energy and possessed the aura of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
"A curse-killing technique?"
Li Yun raised an eyebrow, his expression turning cold.
Without a doubt, this suddenly appearing small black figure was a type of curse-killing technique.
"You are Li Yun?"
The small black figure spoke.
Strangely, it did not open its mouth at all. The voice seemed to come from another dimension.
Li Yun knew this was the voice of the true master who had unleashed this curse-killing technique. He replied indifferently, "What if I am?"
"You are indeed somewhat interesting."
The small black figure spoke again. "A mere cultivator who has not even reached the Heavenly Core Realm has actually caused trouble for my Ironblood Sect repeatedly. I would like to see just what kind of ability you have."
As soon as those words fell, the small black figure suddenly attacked.
Overwhelming black energy erupted from its entire body. The black mist spread outward, corroding everything in its path. Even the void seemed to be corroded, making a piercing sound as it instantly shrouded half the sky.
It reached out and grabbed, condensing endless black energy into a sharp black sword. The blade was shiny black and emitted an evil aura. With a swing of the sword, a vast wave of black energy surged toward Li Yun.
"Slow Sword."
Li Yun snorted coldly.
A Sword Light flashed like dawn breaking through darkness, directly cleaving through the vast black energy with a single strike.
"You have some tricks, but if this is all you have, then you might as well die."
The chilling voice rang out again.
Immediately afterward, the black energy radiating from the small black figure intensified like rolling demonic clouds. It suddenly spread its arms, taking a posture as if it wanted to embrace heaven and earth.
Crash!
The endless black energy surged back into its body.
At first glance, it seemed as if it was merely reabsorbing the energy it had released, which appeared pointless. But in reality, the aura it radiated had increased by an entire level.
Then, it formed its palm into a hand blade and actually unleashed a black blade glow.
The dark blade glow flashed and vanished, striking straight down toward Li Yun.
