Chapter 459: Imprison and Kill
The golden-eyed leopard was an eighth-stage Demon King. It had a higher cultivation level than Money and possessed a decent speed as well. With Su Jun’s command, it pounced on Money.
Money showed no fear. He swayed his body lightly and opened his mouth wide before shooting forward like a bolt of lightning. The golden-eyed leopard was emitting a thick demonic aura, and coupled with the gold energy swirling around it, it was capable of insanely destructive attacks.
It clawed at Money and created numerous sparks on his scales. Although Money’s scales did not fall off, he was nevertheless sent crashing into the ground. It was obvious Money was disadvantaged in terms of strength.
However, that did not mean that Money would lose. He was one who had spent a long time under the nourishment of silver lightning energy. His flesh was comparable to the durability of ninth-stage Demon Kings.
The continuous silver lighting bolts he spat out of his mouth also caused the golden-eyed leopard a lot of pain. While the two Demon Kings were fighting, Su Jun focused on attacking Xiang Shaoyun. These days, he had been tailing Xiang Shaoyun’s group through a secret technique he knew. He had long noticed that Xiang Shaoyun was in a bad condition.
Thus, he vowed to take this chance to kill Xiang Shaoyun. Only then would he be able to sleep at night. Otherwise, Xiang Shaoyun would become a demon planted in his heart, one that would adversely affect his path of cultivation in the future. Su Jun was also known as the Golden Dragon Sword. His attacks reflected that as he sent numerous golden dragons flying forward to surround Xiang Shaoyun.
Roaming Dragon!
Each dragon was as powerful as the attack of a peak King. Among the geniuses in the group, Su Jun’s strength was in the middle range. But with his cultivation level of ninth-stage King Realm, he was strong enough to suppress the current Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun knew very well he wouldn’t be able to block Su Jun’s attacks. He could only dodge using his Overlord’s Nine Nether Steps. But the moment he used his footwork, a sharp pain assaulted his meridians and acupoints, causing him to slow down considerably. In the blink of an eye, several wounds appeared on his body and sprayed out blood.
“Haha, Xiang Shaoyun, today is the day you die!” Su Jun grew excited when he saw his attack hitting. He used even more strength and pushed on for the kill.
Damn it! Do I really need to release the ghostrune emperors? Xiang Shaoyun cursed inwardly.
Bearing with the pain, he continued moving around with his footwork. At the same time, he took out his Overlord Skyslaying Saber and looked for a chance to counterattack. Unfortunately, he could only release the combat prowess of a regular fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator and couldn’t pose any threat to Su Jun.
“Stop your worthless struggle,” said Su Jun with a sneer.
Soaring Dragon!
To prevent any mishaps from happening, Su Jun decided to use his strongest attack, aiming to finish off Xiang Shaoyun as quickly as possible. As he attacked, his sword seemed to have transformed into a mighty soaring and roaring dragon.
Xiang Shaoyun could sense how dangerous this attack was and no longer hesitated. He pushed his strength to his current limit and started using both his Overlord’s Nine Nether Steps and footwork intent to flee.
Fortunately, this was the territory of the devil wind beasts. The wind was constantly blowing around madly, and it let Xiang Shaoyun borrow the might of the wind as he moved, forcefully reducing the disadvantage his injuries brought him.
However, Su Jun’s attack was too powerful. Even when Xiang Shaoyun was moving at his top speed, his back was still struck, and a bloody wound appeared. He crashed heavily onto the ground. Su Jun pressed on and slashed his sword at Xiang Shaoyun’s head.
“Die!” shouted Su Jun in excitement.
He could already see Xiang Shaoyun’s dismembered corpse in his head. Suddenly, an indescribable power surged out, covering a radius of one kilometer around them, seemingly carving this space from reality and turning it into an independent space.
Su Jun was stunned to find that he had lost sight of Xiang Shaoyun. And before he had even recovered from his shock, eight chains shot out toward him from the empty air. The eight chains moved like eight dragons, and they were so fast that they chained Su Jun before he could react.
“What is this? Piss off!” Su Jun roared and erupted with a sharp golden aura, trying to break the chains into pieces.
However, the eight chains seemed to be incomparably tough. Not only had he failed to break them, they had even tightened around him.
“Damn it! What is this?” Su Jun exclaimed in alarm. The space and these chains had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He had no idea what just happened, but he was certain all of this had something to do with Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun appeared out of thin air and said murderously, “Su Jun, you have been creating trouble for me again and again, constantly trying to kill me. Today, you won’t be spared.”
This was the Imperial Nether Prison Xiang Shaoyun had constructed with his Nether Soul Domain. This was the first time he used the technique, and the only reason he was even using it was because he was left with no choice.
The moment he used the Imperial Nether Prison, Xiang Shaoyun had a sensation that he had become one with the space around him, allowing him to control everything within its domain. As for the eight chains, they were constructed using his soul power.
Xiang Shaoyun’s soul power had long reached a level equivalent to an Emperor’s. As he reached fourth-stage Skysoar Realm, his soul power had grown even stronger, comparable to the soul power of third-stage or even fourth-stage Emperors. Because of that, these chains corresponded to Emperor-level strength and were able to completely tie Su Jun up.
When Su Jun saw Xiang Shaoyun, fear covered his face, and he said, “Let go of me! I am a member of the Dragon Society! If you kill me, things won’t end well for you either!”
Dragon Society, a top power in the Soaring Dragon Province, an organization few would dare to offend. Su Jun hoped that this would be enough to scare Xiang Shaoyun off and allow him to live.
Unfortunately for him, his words only caused Xiang Shaoyun’s killing intent to grow. Xiang Shaoyun said, “Before you die, let me tell you a secret. I am the young master of the Ziling Sect. Your Dragon Society had snatched quite a number of mines and territories from us in the past. This is a grudge I will settle sooner or later.”
“T-this…h-how can this…” Su Jun paled.
Xiang Shaoyun did not bother to wait for him to finish his words. He controlled the eight chains and ripped Su Jun into eight chunks of flesh. Just like that, Su Jun the Golden Dragon Sword, a genius of the Dragon Society, was killed.
At the same time, Money had also obtained victory over Su Jun’s mount. The golden-eyed leopard had been killed by a terrifying silver lightning bolt Money had released from his horn. After using that attack, Money’s aura had dropped greatly. It was evident he had exhausted himself greatly during the battle.
“Money, come back here.” Xiang Shaoyun sensed what had happened and summoned Money back. At the command, Money shrank and returned to Xiang Shaoyun’s astral cosmos sea.
Meanwhile, someone concealing his aura was flying in Xiang Shaoyun’s direction.
