Xing Li's expression changed drastically. "He…"
Without waiting for Xing Li to finish his sentence, Yun Lintian nodded. "Yes. He died in my hand."
"How…?" Xing Li couldn't accept the truth. In his opinion, it was impossible for Yun Lintian to win against Lan Cao.
However, Du Mian, who stood on the side, suddenly noticed Yun Lintian's aura. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stammered. "Y-You… Your strength… How?"
When Xing Li heard this, he looked at Yun Lintian, and his pupils enlarged in shock.
Before Yun Lintian entered the ruins, they had confirmed that his strength was at the Monarch Profound Realm. Even if he made progress, his profound strength should reach this high… What was going on inside?
Xing Li and Du Mian immediately thought of a possibility. Yun Lintian must have obtained a powerful inheritance inside. And it was possible that he had encountered it along with Xing Chen and Lan Cao. In the end, Yun Lintian became the ultimate winner.
It must be so!
Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other with tacit understanding. No matter what, they had to capture Yun Lintian today.
"Yun Lintian! Do you think you can fight us just because you have obtained an inheritance by luck?" Xing Li said coldly, and his aura surged.
Meanwhile, Du Mian opened the cauldron's lid, and a burst of powerful poison aura spread swiftly.
Seeing this scene, Yun Lintian looked at them like he was looking at two clowns. Sometimes, he wondered why these old fogeys had no brain when they lived so long. Perhaps they had gone senile?
If he was them, Yun Lintian would have known that he could fight against the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm experts when he was a monarch. And now, he had already taken a step into the next realm. Why did they think they could be his opponent? Was it because of the artifact in their hands?
"Linlin, Qingqing, can you two stay on the side first? Big brother will wrap it up real quick." Yun Lintian didn't care about the pressure emitted by the two old men and spoke to Qingqing and Linlin softly.
"Mhm." Qingqing and Linlin nodded obediently and jumped out off his shoulders.
Afterward, Yun Lintian took a step forward, and his pupils glowed golden a little. His long hair floated upward even though there was no wind, followed by a surge of invisible pressure that was even stronger than the pressure from Xing Li and Du Mian.
Xing Li's eyes turned cold when he saw this scene. The spiritual pressure that Yun Lintian emitted seemed to enter the deepest depths of his soul and strike terror in it.
That's right, terror. It was a terror that came from the soul faster than their will could interpret.
Throughout his life, Xing Li had never faced someone that could give him this feeling. Not even Xing Tengfei and Weilan Jian.
He quickly gritted his teeth and forced down the terror that shouldn't be. An odd glint flashed across his eyes as a compass appeared in his hand. It was the same compass that Xing Guiren used on Yun Lintian back then.
As white light flashed, Yun Lintian could feel everything around him slow down, including himself. In the past, it was very difficult for him to fight against it, but it was totally different now.
On the side, Du Mian placed his palm on the cauldron, and a cold wind that carried a powerful poison miasma instantly blew toward Yun Lintian.
Wherever the miasma passed, everything on its path turned black and wilted immediately. Even those who were watching from the ground felt like the gates of hell had opened up to devour them all. Countless people screamed in terror as a result. It could be seen how potent the poison was.
When everyone thought Yun Lintian would be swallowed by the poison miasma, they suddenly saw him casually lift his hand toward it.
His movement was very slow, but in Xing Li's eyes, Yun Lintian didn't seem affected by the compass's power.
Before Xing Li could make another move, he saw Yun Lintian make a grasping motion.
In that instant, the space around him abruptly distorted, and the miasma, including the white light, dissipated. It looked like they were devoured into spatial rifts.
Xing Li and Du Mian's eyes widened with shock, but they had enough sense to realize that continuing their attack would be unwise.
They glanced at each other and quickly spread out while their aura surged. With a boom, the entire space shook violently. An oppressive, terrifying silence instantly enveloped a thousand kilometers of area, causing the onlookers to turn pale in fright.
This was the true power of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm powerhouse!
At this moment, the sky suddenly turned dark, and thousands of stars appeared on it, shining brightly.
Xing Li floated in the air, looking down at Yun Lintian. His entire body was shrouded with starlight, making him look like a god of the sky.
At the same time, more and more poisonous mist poured out of the cauldron in Du Mian's hand, and it quickly locked down the space Yun Lintian was in.
Xing Li waved his hand, and all the stars in the sky glowed several times brighter. In the next moment, countless starlight beams shot down like a giant net. No matter how one looked, it was impossible to escape from it.
However, Yun Lintian didn't move an inch. He casually made a swiping motion in front of him.
Riiip—
As a golden lightning flash, all the starlight beams and poisonous mist were torn apart like they were nothing but a fragile curtain.
Before the two could react, they saw Yun Lintian lift his fist, which was covered with golden metal, and make a punching motion toward Du Mian.
In that instant, Du Mian's heart tightened as a sense of danger arose inside. He hurriedly brought the cauldron forward, trying to block whatever that was coming with it.
Suddenly, he could feel the space around him distorted, followed by an irresistible force.
BOOM!
The Universal Cauldron in front of him exploded into pieces directly. The blood arrow immediately burst out of Du Mian's mouth as he staggered backward.
Du Mian felt like he had just been hit by a massive mountain. His bones and muscles were directly broken!
