Zhao Shuimu couldn't believe his eyes. He was fully aware of how difficult to remove the seal. Even him, who was the caster, couldn't get rid of it at will. It would take him a lot of effort to do it…How could Yun Lintian do it?
Shen Yan was even more surprised. Among everyone here, only she and Xu Chang knew about Yun Lintian's true identity. Even so, she didn't expect Yun Lintian to remove this deadly seal so easily.
A moment later, all the patterns on Zhou Xianyang vanished completely, and he no longer suffered the unbearable pain.
After experiencing the first try, Yun Lintian's understanding of the seal greatly increased. He turned to look at Zhou Junyi and the other princes and waved his hand, sending his divine energy into their bodies.
In a blink of an eye, the patterns on their bodies disappeared completely. It was so fast that Zhou Shuimu and the others couldn't have time to react.
Zhou Yi returned to his sense and urged the formation forward, trying to subdue Zhao Shuimu and Yao An completely.
"You don't want them anymore!?" Yao An hurriedly shouted, tightening his grip on the two women's necks.
However, Zhou Yi didn't care about it. He pressed his palm down, and the golden barrier above immediately descended upon Zhao Shuimu and Yao An.
"Mother!" Zhou Ling'er cried desperately, but Ximen Shun didn't let her go. She could only watch her mother's face turn purple under Yao An's hand.
"Go to hell!" Zhao Shuimu knew that he couldn't leave today. His eyes were full of brutality as his aura surged, and his body started to swell as if he was about to explode at any moment.
Meanwhile, Yao An gritted his teeth hard. Unlike Zhao Shuimu, he didn't want to lose his life here. Immediately, he released all of his power, trying to break out.
Zhou Yi's expression changed drastically. Zhao Shuimu obviously wanted to detonate his profound vein. If he could succeed, the entire palace would definitely blow up, and Zhou Yi would have no way to protect everyone here.
Yun Lintian got up from the ground and looked at the scene thoughtfully. Since he decided to help Zhou Ling'er before, he should help her to the end.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes, and his figure instantly reappeared behind Yao An like a ghost.
Yao An was shocked, and his expression turned ruthless. "Very good! Die!"
As his voice fell, a bloody-colored blade appeared out of thin air and swept toward Yun Lintian with a space-tearing sound.
However, Yun Lintian's figure disappeared once again, causing the bloody blade to cut his afterimage.
At the same time, Yun Lintian reappeared before Yao An and sent a punch out.
Roar—
Like explosions of a divine magnitude, a deafening dragon's roar sounded as Yun Lintian's fist struck Yao An's chest. The entire palace was filled with scars and cracks, loose pieces that flew up almost immediately turned to dust thanks to the immense and violent energies that came out from Yun Lintian's fist.
Instantly, a virtual lightning dragon flew out of Yao An's back, leaving a bloody hole in the latter's body.
Yun Lintian then seized this chance to swiftly pull Shu Xi and Ximen Qing out of Yao An's hands and twist his body, sending a powerful kick into Yao An's abdomen.
A raging wind and thunder burst out along with his kick, viciously clashing with Yao An's unprotected abdomen.
Kacha—
A cracking sound echoed throughout the entire space as everyone saw Yao An's body snap in half. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Before they could react, Yun Lintian had already returned to Zhou Ling'er's side and handed the two women to her.
Zhou Ling'er and Ximen Shun received the two women in a daze. Everything happened too fast that their brains couldn't process in time.
Meanwhile, Tian Hualing, Shen Yan, and Xu Chang were surprised by Yun Lintian's outburst strength. Although Yao An wasn't at his peak, he was still a genuine Divine King. Unexpectedly, he failed to protect himself against Yun Lintian's swift attacks.
At the same time, they could also feel that it wasn't Yun Lintian's true strength. He must be even stronger than this.
"It's outrageous. Where is his limit?" Tian Hualing let out a rare remark. She turned to Shen Yan and asked. "Can you tell me? What is his true identity?"
Shen Yan pursed her lips and said nothing. Now, she fully understood what Xu Chang said back then. Yun Lintian indeed had the ability to threaten Xu Chang and her.
Zhao Shuimu became even more agitated upon seeing Yao An die tragically. He urged every ounce of his energy and shouted. "All of you should go to hell!"
Zhou Yi's face turned pale. The formation he controlled was definitely unable to suppress Zhou Shuimu's suicidal attack.
BOOOOM!
The Emerald Palace was struck with a terrifying burst of energy. If it wasn't for the golden barrier shielding them, everyone here would probably have been buried by the raging power directly.
"I can't hold it anymore!" Zhou Yi shouted desperately. He didn't care about his face anymore at this moment.
"Help him." Tian Hualing motioned to Wen Qian, Hu Wuyou, and Ling Han with her chin.
The three immediately floated into the air, forming a thick barrier around the energy explosion. The explosion fought to break out for a while before fading away.
Zhou Yi heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his fists toward Wen Qian's group. "Many thanks, seniors."
Wen Qian landed on the ground and said regretfully. "Unfortunately, Zhao Shuimu is a low-rank member of the Dark Tide. Otherwise, we can get something from him."
Zhou Yi sighed and said. "I have been secretly watching him, but he was too cautious. I couldn't find his master's whereabouts even now."
"It's not your fault. They have a special communicating method. It's difficult to grasp it." Ling Han said. From her words, she seemed to know about the Dark Tide well.
Hu Wuyou frowned slightly and said. "I think we should go back to the academy as soon as possible."
Wen Qian nodded in agreement. "Indeed."
Tian Hualing waved her hand and said. "You can arrange it yourself."
She then turned to Shen Yan and Yun Lintian. "We will leave now."
"Alright." Yun Lintian naturally had no objection since the business here was over now.
"Don't forget to visit our headquarter when you have time, Elder Lin." Zhi Wei said with a smile and left with his people.
