Chapter 983: Tianyuan City, A Change of Skies is Coming Again (Request for Subscription)_1
As soon as these words were spoken, a very bizarre and tremendous spiritual power instantly sealed off the entire pavilion and converged into a terrifying prohibition...
Meanwhile, the Lin Family Head and the Wei Family Patriarch, unaware of the situation, continued to rush toward the outside of the pavilion...
When their bodies came into contact with these prohibitions, they only felt an extremely powerful rejection force coming head-on...
"Boom!" With no warning, they were repelled and sent flying backward...
The Lin Family Head covered his painfully aching chest with his hand, his complexion ugly as he said, "How... how terrifying this power is, to be able to seal space with spiritual power alone!!"
This power was far more formidable than they had previously imagined!!
The Wei Family Patriarch was also severely injured by this rejection force, with blood already spilling from the corner of his mouth...
He clenched his fists tightly, glaring at the woman sitting cross-legged with an intense hatred and muttered, "Damn it! Why would such a high-level expert come to Tianyuan City, what is her purpose?!"
In his heart, he was also annoyed at himself for having readily believed the words of that "Wei Family Disciple"!
But even without that woman, who emanated a despair-inducing aura, facing the latter who could kick someone clear through the Third Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, they stood no chance at all!
It was simply... a dead end!
...
Zhou Qingruo, who had sealed the pavilion, allowed her enchanting snow-blue Beautiful Eyes to flicker once, then calmly stood up from the ground...
The aura she released became even colder, carrying a sense of otherworldliness...
This change was very likely thanks to the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit!
At her side, Xu Sheng, seeing her heterochromatic eyes, secretly thought, "Has she fully absorbed its potency?"
Zhou Qingruo's icy gaze swept over the two Family Heads of the Lin and Xu Families, then she turned her head to look at Xu Sheng, not at all worried that they would take the opportunity to escape...
A tinge of complexity shimmered in her snow-blue Beautiful Eyes as she said, "Xu Sheng, thank you for protecting me, it was almost..."
But as she imperceptibly sensed that Xu Sheng's breath was very stable and even his cultivation level had terrifyingly risen since before, she paused, stunned...
Her face showed deep confusion as she asked, "Xu Sheng, you're... unharmed? And your cultivation level has even grown to the Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm?"
Indeed, Xu Sheng was of the Earth Immortal Realm before, but what was the situation now?
He had somehow ascended by an entire two Great Realms, had he been hiding his true cultivation level all along??
Even to the extent of escaping her perception!!
As she did not conceal her voice, both the Lin Family Head and the Patriarch Wei were left dumbstruck, "Golden... Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm???"
Thinking about it, the Head of the Xu Family's death was not unjust at all!
The prior, who had burned his essence blood to reach the Third Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, thought himself invincible, unaware that his opponent's realm was far beyond his own!
That was the Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm! After breaking through, one would reach the legendary Daluo Golden Immortal!
After reaching that level, even if the heart were pierced, the body shredded to pieces, as long as the soul still lingered, revival was possible!
On ordinary days, these existences were beyond their reach, mere ants, but unexpectedly, today they encountered two such beings at once!!
Upon hearing Zhou Qingruo's inquiry, Xu Sheng simply smiled and answered, "Miss Qingruo worries too much, the reason for my rise to the Golden Immortal Realm is that my previously lost cultivation suddenly recovered."
Zhou Qingruo, hearing this flawed explanation, chose not to probe further; after giving Xu Sheng a profound look, she turned her icy, bone-chilling gaze to the two Family Heads of Lin and Wei...
Just that look alone plunged them into a chill as if they were in an ice cellar, not daring to even breathe too loudly...
Zhou Qingruo spoke indifferently, "Tell me, how do you two plan to die?"
It was as if she was announcing something mundane and ordinary!
The Lin Family Patriarch immediately snapped out of his daze, bending his waist decisively, his tone respectful, "Predecessor... we truly didn't mean to intrude! We only sensed that you were making a breakthrough here and feared that other people from Tianyuan City might disturb you, so we specially came here to protect you!"
Zhou Qingruo's eyes, which had crystallized a frigid intent, glanced at the body crushed into a bloody pulp under Xu Sheng's foot, "Protect?"
As the words fell, the terrifying pressure emanating from her burst forth, slamming into the Lin Family Patriarch's body...
With a "Pfft!" sound, the entire body of the Lin Family Patriarch was crushed down by this pressure, following which blood began streaming continuously from his five orifices, his face twisting in excruciating pain...
A few seconds later, his flesh and bones were horrifically separated under this terrifying pressure, completely devoid of life...
The whole process was utterly bloody to the extreme!
Seeing the former's tragic state, Patriarch Wei drew in a cold breath...
When he felt Zhou Qingruo's gaze turn towards him, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly explained, "Predecessor, I'm not the same as them, please don't misunderstand. From the moment I entered, I've been wholeheartedly protecting you. Please spare my life!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's inquiring eyes and Patriarch Wei's pleading gaze both turned towards Xu Sheng...
For his single word could determine the latter's life or death!
After glancing at Patriarch Wei, Xu Sheng merely gave a faint "Hmm" in response...
Even such a brief utterance sent Patriarch Wei's face into an ecstasy...
Zhou Qingruo's icy voice suddenly rose, "Since that's the case, you might as well die right here."
At her words, Patriarch Wei's pupils shrank sharply, his cheeks showing a thick sense of bewilderment...
"??????"
Before he could ask why, Zhou Qingruo's Beautiful Eyes focused, and with a casual wave of her hand, a massive force instantly coalesced into a sharp sword qi, which sliced off his head at an extremely fast speed...
With a "thud," his head, accompanied by crimson liquid, rolled onto the ground...
And those widened pupils seemed somewhat unwilling to close in death!
Even in death, he didn't understand why Zhou Qingruo had chosen to kill him, he was protecting her, after all!!!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng silently shook his head...
"Indeed, even knowing that the other was protecting her, but since their intentions were not sincere, she still chose to eradicate the roots. With such a character, it can only be said that Patriarch Wei was simply unlucky!"
...
Meanwhile, the people from Tianyuan City waiting outside the pavilion, seeing that there was still no movement inside, became anxious and said...
"It's been so long without any response, why don't we all go in together and take a look?"
"That's right, if so many of us enter at once, surely the esteemed one inside wouldn't kill us all just for a moment of displeasure, right?"
"Yes, yes! That makes sense! Let's go up together!"
Subsequently, after these Tianyuan City people entered the pavilion, they all quietly walked back down shortly thereafter...
A thought emerged in each of their hearts!
Tianyuan City is about to change again!
