The cold and eerie laughter echoed at the top of Yunlan Mountain, making anyone who heard it shiver. Hearing this laughter, Shami felt a thump in his heart, especially when he saw the grinning skull face, his heart sank even further.
He knew that this monster was very powerful.
At this moment, the Wandering Sword that had flown out returned.
Upon its return, it was no longer that swift white light. It stopped directly in front of Wenping.
Huan Yue fell with a thud!
Within the next dozen breaths, white flames burned her body into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
Witnessing this scene, the people hiding by the Main Hall were stunned for a moment, then reacted with exclamation.
"Does reading ’Immortal Slayer’ also come with the Flying Sword cultivation technique?"
"The Sect Leader borrowed my Wandering Sword for a few days, turns out it was to practice this Flying Sword Technique."
"A single sword breaking open a Half-Step Divine Profound’s skull, this power, indeed it’s an Immortal Technique!"
The crowd was discussing.
Lu Ye didn’t understand their words, but watching this scene, he felt secretly shocked because he had just been evenly matched with Huan Yue moments ago, and now she was dead, with nothing left.
Looking at Wenping again, his expression had gained some layers.
Especially that suspended sword, he admitted to himself that he had no way to block it.
After the initial shock of the people, Shami, seeing his companion dead, began to exert his strength in anger, smashing his Giant Hammer recklessly downward. Each strike, if it were directed at someone with Upper Profound Realm cultivation below, would surely pulverize them in an instant.
But such a level of attack was deflected with ease by the chain when it landed!
The longer he fought, the more his confidence waned.
If he continued fighting , death might be the only path he could foresee or walk.
And fleeing wasn’t an easy option.
For him to flee, he couldn’t bring himself to face such disgrace simply returning to Bright Mirror Lake, it wouldn’t be anything but a direct subject of ridicule?
Old and without keeping his dignity, too much of a loss!
Seeing this situation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Lele beside Vermilion Hall rejoiced and emerged.
Yet, at this moment, Zhantian Qingxuan suddenly grabbed him back, hurriedly speaking, "It’s off! Shami’s aura is rising, already surpassing the momentum a Half-Step Divine Profound should possess."
Following his words, everyone looked towards Shami.
At this moment, Shami lowered his head, revealing a ferocious smile, then suddenly lifted it to laugh twice towards the sky.
The Meridian Gate trembled, a hand blasted out a massive pulse directly, striking face-on at the Evil Spirit Knight, making the Evil Spirit Knight take a step back. Of course, it was this mere step that made Wenping a bit shocked.
The Evil Spirit Knight is indeed Divine Profound Realm!
Suddenly, Shami’s ear suddenly heard a voice, "Haha, thanks to you, otherwise I could not have entered the Divine Profound Realm."
Right hand Meridian Gate emerged.
A ring, two rings, a dot...
Then coalesced into a brand-new Meridian Gate, Shami’s entire momentum rose instantly to an indescribable height. This momentum seemed endless and continued to rise, reaching an incredible height.
The Vibrating Vein sound spread out,
then followed by the explosive dispersal of blue Vein Qi, spreading like ripples, driving off the light dust, leaving heavy expressions on many faces.
Lu Ye’s expression changed, "Oh no, Shami managed to break through to Divine Profound Realm at this moment."
Divine Profound, Half-Step Divine Profound.
Though only two words apart, the power difference is immense. As a Half-Step Divine Profound, he was keenly aware of this and well understood what true power lay within the Divine Profound Realm. Shami’s fortunate breakthrough in battle was just too lucky.
If not for Shami’s timely breakthrough, everything would have been settled.
Now... it is hard to say.
At this moment, Shami laughed heartily, "So this is Divine Profound Realm, the Double Meridian Gate feeling is too strong. I’ve finally understood, why the Half-Step Divine Profound is considered Upper Profound Realm, so this is what Divine Profound feels like."
The second Meridian Gate is called Abundance.
It’s a whole new world.
This is something everyone knew, yet no one had ever sensed it.
After a Vibrating Vein tone, Shami suddenly raised his hand with a Fury Charge attacking the Mountain Dog.
The Mountain Dog immediately met it head-on.
The gigantic paws met the Vein Technique Fury Charge.
The two clashed together.
In an instant, a tempest rampaged.
The Mountain Dog retreated a dozen meters, and Shami too fell back a few steps, but he was elated.
Seeing such significant progress, the smile on Shami’s face became even broader.
"Boy, thank you for the pressure from your guardian monster, which helped me break through to Divine Profound. How about this, I give you a quick end. Hand over the Secret Treasure now, and I might spare your life."
Of course, sparing does not mean no other demands.
As for other demands, let’s talk about them later, ultimately relentless until not leaving anyone spared.
But Wenping replied casually with words none could understand.
"Waited long enough, if it’s enough then hurry and devour."
With that, Wenping smiled helplessly. The Evil Spirit Knight was actually waiting for Shami to grow stronger, in order to devour a mightier soul.
The strategy was neat!
As Wenping’s words fell, the chain in the Evil Spirit Knight’s hand swung straight towards Shami.
Having entered Divine Profound, he finally had a clearer understanding of his Profound Level Vein Technique, immediately resonating the veins, his Giant Hammer compared to earlier fortified with a cycle. Grinning, he swung towards the Evil Spirit Knight.
But a moment later, the Giant Hammer was knocked away, as before, without any suspense.
Shami was secretly alarmed.
Hadn’t he already broken through to the Divine Profound Realm?
Why was he still unable to win?
After roaring in anger, Shami opened both Meridian Gates again, he dared not envision a death turning into a vengeful ghost.
After furious rage, Shami leapt up, raising like a heavy hammer, forming a bow shape as he plunged towards the Evil Spirit Knight. This time, the heavy hammer, under the Double Meridian Gate’s support, its power sufficient to kill a Half-Step Divine Profound!
Just in terms of strength, multiple times more than earlier.
Yet, before the hammer could smash down, the chilling laughter came, followed by a crimson chain shooting out.
Not only did the chain shatter the Vein Qi-formed Giant Hammer as it shot, it swiftly headed towards Shami’s chest, reaching him in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Shami’s expression turned pale instantly, knowing he had no time to dodge in mid-air.
Immediately he condensed a Vein Qi Shield to block, but the chain pierced through the shield like poking through tofu, and penetrated Shami’s chest. The crimson chain then flicked, directly binding him tightly.
This scene happened in a blink!
Shami had no time to react, he could only watch helplessly, without a chance to move.
At this moment, he finally understood, this skull was a Divine Profound Realm.
Far beyond what he, having just broken through, could compare.
Unfortunately, it was too late to realize now.
The crimson chain pulled.
Just having broken into Divine Profound Realm, Shami was shattered into pieces, leaving Zhantian Qingxuan and the others stunned.
