Chapter 4317 – From Ecstasy to Tragedy
“It seemed he had been suppressed for far too long...”
“This Li Tianming was without virtue. No wonder everyone turned against him!”
They watched as mist streamed out from Lingfeng’s violet eyes. It mysteriously arced around the skypole stars and entered Tianming’s body, which was already alight with blood-flames!
“This kid really had a method to deal with the Skyplunder imperial son!”
“He hid it well!”
“He truly waited far too long for this moment.”
Eerie purple demonic eyes appeared across Tianming’s body. They resembled vortexes of the soul, gnawing and devouring Tianming soul and pushing him closer to his death.
“You were the guiding light in his heart. If you didn’t die, he wouldn’t die!” Lingfeng’s lips curled into a twisted grin, his expression becoming grotesque.
“Hahahaha!” The Yueling imperial sons and their army stopped calling for blood and instead burst into wild, joyous laughter. Outside the Ruinless Domain, Yueling and Violetblitz also roared with delight.
“A brat who hasn’t even started growing hair wanted to compete with us? And even fantasized about marrying all four of our sisters? That was suicide...” Even Imperator Ji couldn’t hold back her pleasure. After all, Tianming had pushed her to the brink not too long ago.
“Refreshing!”
“Seeing that showoff suffer feels amazing!”
“This bastard turtle has to die!”
Laughter filled the heavens, drowning out the cries of grief from Nullity.
The four Yueling imperial sons closest to Tianming surrounded him, sneering incessantly.
And then, a soft voice cut through the uproarious battlefield. “It feels awkward that there’s so much cheering when I die.”
The voice was far too soft, that only those closest could barely hear it. One of them was Yueling Xun, Imperator Ji’s fourth son, renowned for his elegant and handsome appearance.
He froze slightly, looked back toward the burning blood-flames... and his eyes widened as his expression transformed in horror. The raging blood-flames had suddenly vanished, as if swallowed into a bottomless void, while the scorching ocean of burning blood pulled itself back into a single white-haired youth!
Tianming stood there, the skypole stars circling him normally. Though his body showed some minor damage, the blood-red palm imprints were gone.
“Impossible, that was the Adjudicator’s...” Yueling Xun’s throat was dry.
“Sorry for the scare.” The words had just reached Yueling Xun when Tianming suddenly appeared in front of him. A blood-red sphere materialized in his hand, which he shoved into Yueling Xun’s mouth!
“AAAAAA—!!” Yueling Xun clutched his throat as his body instantly turned red, transforming into flame and blood. He screamed in agony, “Big Brothers, save me! Mom!”
The scream finally snapped the crowd out of their hysterical delight, filling them in on the bizarre reversal.
“Huh?” The remaining three imperial sons looked as if they had been slapped, staring stiffly at Tianming. How was he not dead, and why had “that thing” appeared on Yueling Xun instead!?
Yueling Xun never even had the chance to resist. His body melted into a puddle of blood, his final screams echoing in the air.
Everyone finally realised the process of Tianming’s “death” had taken at least ten times longer than Yueling Xun’s. If he had truly been dying, how could it have taken so long?
“Fourth Brother!” At the height of their triumph, the remaining three imperial sons crashed headfirst into despair. Ecstasy had become tragedy in the span of a single heartbeat.
Li Tianzi let out a small laugh.
Beside him, Mu Qingqing was still crying, her face streaked with tears as she stared dazedly at Li Tianzi. “Big Brother, you knew he was fine all along, didn’t you?”
“Didn’t Lord Chen tell you?” Li Tianzi blinked.
“No!” Mu Qingqing wailed.
“That brat really likes watching women cry for him. I was just thinking your acting skills were impressive... turns out those tears were real.” Li Tianzi sighed.
Mu Qingqing was silent. Among their inner circle, she alone had been kept in the dark!
Thinking of the triumphant Imperator Ji from moments ago, she looked up again...
Imperator Ji’s entire body was stiff and her expression blank, as if she had just swallowed the largest fly in the universe. The happier she had been before, the uglier her face was now.
“Impossible!” Yueling Xiao howled. It wasn’t just disbelief, but fear at the inevitable retaliation.
And sure enough, Tianming immediately began summoning the Xi Hwa ghoul legion!
Thirty billion troops, with three thousand ghoul emperors!
Tianming stood among his legion, every bit as terrifying as his ghouls.
“That assassination technique of yours was indeed impressive. Unfortunately for you, I possess the poison-immune Order Relic Universal Body.”
Even Huang Qi coveted it, and this Adjudicator numbered eight had failed to deal with it.
“So!” Tianming swept his cold gaze across Yueling and Violetblitz. “Yueling Kun, as you said, it’s time to end this.”
