The Lu Ming already completely controlled by the evil spirit had become a devil through and through.
Seeing Fang Yu emanating Vast Righteous Energy, which made him extremely uncomfortable, he immediately roared.
A black aura filled the sky, rushing towards Fang Yu.
Just at that moment...
The silhouette of the Nine Layer Tower appeared in front of Fang Yu:
"Ninth Layer Suppression!"
The tremendous power of the Divine Artifact descended from the sky. Simultaneously, a giant sword composed of Energy Magic Patterns pressed down.
Boom!
It sliced the devil in two.
However...
Even so, the severed devil did not die but attacked from two directions.
The power of the Nine Layer Tower, with a bang, blocked one half of the devil.
On the other side.
As the devil was about to reach Fang Yu.
A fiery red phoenix appeared.
Sizzle.
Flames burned.
Fire even purer than the Vast Righteous Energy instantly burned the devil's figure to ashes!
With a crash, it dissipated in the air.
"Wenjun?" Fang Yu's eyes lit up, not expecting Ye Wenjun to strike at this critical moment and annihilate that half of the devil.
Under the perception of aura, Fang Yu found that Ye Wenjun's cultivation had already reached the Peak Realm of Primordial Human Immortal, just a step away from entering the Ancestor Realm.
This left Fang Yu utterly astonished.
He was so diligent in his cultivation, only to be caught up by Ye Wenjun all of a sudden.
Ye Wenjun slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Fang Yu, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine... just extremely exhausted, without the Dragon Roar Sword by my side, I had to expend a lot of Primordial Qi to use the Energy Magic Patterns!" Fang Yu said.
"As long as you're okay..."
"Wenjun, how did your cultivation break through to the Peak Realm?" Fang Yu knew others were at most at the Middle Stage of Primordial Human Immortal.
Ye Wenjun smiled gently, "It might have something to do with the Phoenix Ancient Jade. When I sought a breakthrough in the Nine Layer Tower, the power of the Ancient Jade was fully unleashed, and all the energy stored normally was completely activated. My Water Cold Sword has also been upgraded to the Primary Realm of a Divine Artifact! The artifact spirit is my Fire Phoenix!"
Upon hearing this.
Fang Yu was utterly surprised and said, "Truly wonderful, my love, you will be a great support to me in the future!"
Hearing Fang Yu call her his love in the air.
Ye Wenjun blushed deeply.
Fang Yu loved Ye Wenjun's shy demeanor, always unable to resist teasing her...
The sky gradually calmed down.
The clouds dispersed, and the sky became clear.
The cultivators in Wanxian City witnessed this scene, standing still in shock.
...
Meanwhile.
The other four Hall Masters had already rushed to the East City Lord Mansion...
When they arrived...
They found Xu Zhaopei being besieged by a large number of cultivators!
Corpses were all around!
And Xu Zhaopei was severely injured by an artifact spirit, covered in blood.
Chen Daotian, seeing this scene, eyes blazing with fury, said in a deep voice, "Kill them for me—"
Xu Huawen nodded, and without another word, charged into the crowd.
The slaughter by the two Primordial Human Immortals.
How could these low-rank cultivators possibly resist?
While they were still bewildered, having no idea what happened, they suddenly sensed the immense killing intent of the two.
"No... no..."
"Spare us! Spare us!"
However.
How could Chen Daotian and Xu Huawen possibly let them off?
Like wolves entering a flock of sheep, the entire courtyard turned into a bloody storm.
As for Xu Sisi and Lin Weifeng, they killed the remaining remnants one by one.
Those cultivators were possessed by evil spirits, and with Lu Ming dead, their spiritual will couldn't hold for long, quickly turning into murderous demons.
The four of them split up, massacring these cultivators everywhere.
The news of Lu Ming's death quickly reached the Orderer Hall.
Ding Chunqiu immediately, along with the other nine Guardians, went around hunting down those fleeing cultivators harboring evil spirits, then killing them!
Wanxian World was already in chaos...
There was no time to worry about much else.
...
A half-day later.
Wanxian City was mostly cleared.
And many names on the Immortal Stele disappeared.
At this time, the name at the top caused everyone's attention.
"Ye Wenjun..."
Everyone was puzzled.
The one who defeated Lu Ming was clearly Fang Yu, so how could Ye Wenjun be the top name?
Could it be, Ye Wenjun was always hiding her strength?
Cultivators who liked to pay attention to rankings spread this news widely.
In fact…
How could they know, Fang Yu had many ace cards, the Dragon Roar Sword wasn't even at his side?
...
East City Lord Mansion.
Hong He sat on the ground with a lost expression, staring at the corpses all over!
He was heartbroken!
Because his only daughter, Hong Zhaoyue, had left him.
Xu Zhaopei was also severely injured, leaning against the door, lost in thought.
Chen Daotian, Xu Huawen, Xu Sisi, and Lin Weifeng, the four of them, shook their heads and sighed.
At this moment.
Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun slowly descended from the air, landing in the courtyard.
At a glance, he saw the heavily injured Xu Zhaopei... she wasn't dead!
Inwardly overjoyed, he ran over, saying, "Are you okay?"
Xu Zhaopei revealed a faint smile, saying, "Just a little bit…"
"Sit down, I'll heal you," Fang Yu said.
"Okay."
Xu Zhaopei slowly sat down.
Then, Fang Yu used the breathing control technique from Divine Dragon Transformation to heal Xu Zhaopei's internal injury.
The powerful healing was incredible.
Soon, Xu Zhaopei was no longer in much pain!
After recovering.
Fang Yu prepared to heal Hong He.
But Hong He, with an indifferent look, said, "Mr. Fang… forget it…"
"Forget it?"
"Now that Zhaoyue is dead, living in this world holds no meaning for me, even if you heal me... I would only feel pain!" Hong He said.
"City Lord Hong, how can you have such thoughts? The dead cannot be brought back to life!"
Just after saying this.
Ye Wenjun behind him laughed and said:
"Not necessarily… in fact, Sister Zhaoyue isn't actually dead."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone looked at Ye Wenjun in puzzled confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"When I was absorbing energy in the Underground City, the Phoenix Ancient Jade brought a strong vitality… I sensed that Sister Zhaoyue was likely looking for a host body… At that urgent moment, I let her enter the Ancient Jade."
Inside the Ancient Jade?
Ye Wenjun took out the Phoenix Ancient Jade.
In that united Ancient Jade, there truly was a gigantic phoenix, flapping its wings back and forth!
Fang Yu's eyes lit up and said, "City Lord Hong… perhaps, I can resurrect Princess Zhaoyue!"
Upon hearing this.
With a face full of surprise, Hong He hurriedly stood up, staring at Fang Yu in shock, and said, "Truly? Resurrection is an against-heaven technique, and until now, even cultivation prodigies at the peak of Primordial Human Immortal Realm couldn't accomplish it! Could it be… Mr. Fang, you can actually do it?"
"Of course."
Fang Yu naturally wouldn't reveal that he mastered the Divine Dragon Transformation.
"Prepare a room, the sooner the better!"
