The world was filled with a terrible silence; even the air suddenly became bone-chilling.
A powerful divine being was annihilated with just one finger, without even a trace of ash left.
"God... God King!" Beside Princess Hanwei, the old man in black opened his eyes wide and let out a trembling voice, and these few words made everyone's body tremble violently.
The God King, in this dimension, is the leader of a large sect!
What was even more terrifying than the word “God King” was his eyes. They had never seen pupils so dark before. When he turned around and his dark gaze swept over them, they felt a terrible sense of oppression and suffocation... It was like a demon with its eyes opened, strangling their throats and souls with its sharp claws.
But Ming Yang was not an ordinary person after all, and he was not as wary of the God King as ordinary people. After all, his father was one of the strongest God Kings in this realm. He suppressed the inexplicable fear in his heart, took a step forward, smiled, and bowed respectfully: "Junior Ming Yang, I am fortunate to meet a master like you in this desolate place. Just now, I did not recognize the God King and offended him. Thank you for punishing me on my behalf."
"By the way, my father is Ming Xiao, the patriarch of the Ming Peng clan. I believe you may have heard of him. If you don't mind, you can go to Ming Peng Mountain as a guest. I will be looking forward to it and will be waiting for you with a feast."
In just a few words, he showed respect and dignity. Especially when he reported the name of his clan and his father, his tone changed subtly. After all, not only in this realm, but in the entire star realm, who doesn't know the names of the Mingpeng clan and the Mingxiao! ?
but……
What shocked Ming Yang was that after hearing his words, the expression of the man in black opposite him did not change at all. The only way to answer him was to raise his finger again... and then flick it lightly again.
Puff! !
Three flames exploded beside Ming Yang at the same time.
In his pupils that were dilated to the point of bursting, the other three people around him, also three other powerful gods, in an instant... In that same instant, their divine bodies exploded in the flames, without a single scream or a drop of blood, they directly exploded into flaming fragments all over the sky, and then all around him, the ground was covered with flying ashes.
This unexpected scene made Ming Yang's facial features tremble suddenly, and his previous confidence turned into a completely uncontrollable tremor: "You..."
After he uttered one word, he could say no more.
Yun Che took a step and walked closer to him. With every step he took, Ming Yang’s pupils would shrink a little. The gradually approaching, terrifying invisible oppression almost crushed all his will.
His mouth opened and closed, but he could not make a single sound. Finally, he thought of escaping... But he could not gather any profound energy, and he could not even feel his legs. His whole body went limp like mud, and then went limp again... until he knelt on the ground.
He is by no means a timid person. On the contrary, with his identity and status, he is always neither humble nor arrogant even when facing the God Kings or Sect Masters of other major sects.
But facing Yun Che, all his courage seemed to be completely crushed by an invisible object.
Suddenly, Yun Che was standing in front of him, and his pupils had shrunk to the size of a pinhole... He didn't understand why he was so scared. Even when he had the honor of meeting the Great Realm King, he was never so scared.
His lips trembled as he opened and closed. He wanted to say that he was the young master of the Mingpeng tribe and that he couldn't kill him. However, the two words he squeezed out with all his willpower were blurry and trembling to the extreme: "Spare... my life... ugh!"
A hand grabbed his throat, lifted him up from the ground, and strangled all his sounds.
In his ears, the last sound of his life rang out... It was a low moan more terrifying than the devil:
"Those who go against me, offend me, and hurt me... all deserve to die!"
A ball of black gas rose from Mingyang's neck and quickly spread to his entire body. In an instant... his body was engulfed into a cloud of pitch-black smoke.
This was the first time that Yun Che used the dark profound energy so naturally.
He lowered his hand... In front of him, Ming Yang had disappeared, leaving only a cloud of black smoke that slowly dissipated with the cold wind.
No one could understand how terrible the darkness, hatred, and murderous intent were hidden under his cold appearance. And Ming Yang was like an ant with a high opinion of himself, offending a god of death who had just walked out of the endless abyss.
The black smoke cleared, and Yun Che turned around and headed north… without even glancing at the purple-clothed girl or the black-clothed old man.
The purple-clothed girl stood there in a daze, as if in a dream.
Ming Yang was not only the son of the Ming Peng clan leader, but also the well-known young master of the Ming Peng clan. He was a person who truly ran rampant in the Eastern Region and no one dared to provoke him... He actually died just like that! ?
It's as simple as dust being brushed away!
Or after Ming Yang clearly revealed his identity, it seemed as if... the Ming Peng Clan, which was famous in the Eastern Realm, simply looked down upon him! ?
The old man in black regained his senses with difficulty. With his experience, he was more shocked than the purple-robed girl, but he was more happy to be reborn. He collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up, but a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that it is God who has sent a master to rescue His Highness... Your Highness, you should leave quickly. Ming Yang is dead, and the Ming Peng clan must have sensed it... After I recover a little, I can catch up with Your Highness."
However, the purple-clothed girl did not react to his words. Her eyes were fixed on the back of the black-clothed man, and her eyes were constantly moving... and moving again.
"Senior, please stay!"
She suddenly spoke, which frightened the old man in black beside her: "Your Highness!"
His instinct told him that this man in black was someone who should not be provoked.
Even the young master of the Mingpeng clan was killed at will, let alone others!
However, Yun Che did not respond to her shouting, and walked further and further away from her sight.
“Senior!” The purple-clothed girl’s voice became louder. “I am Dongfang Hanwei, the nineteenth princess of Donghan Country. Thank you for saving my life.”
She moved forward and suddenly knelt on the ground, her voice filled with deep sorrow and pleading: "My motherland is in great trouble, the royal city is on the verge of being captured, my father and mother are still in the royal city... I have nowhere else to go, so I shamelessly ask you to help me. If you can save my father and mother, I will repay you with everything I have!"
"Your Highness, no...no!" The old man in black struggled to stand up and stop it.
He was not that surprised that Dongfang Hanwei would do this, because she really had nowhere else to turn, and this was something she would most likely do given her personality.
She didn't dare to expect that he would help her out of the crisis in the royal city. If he could rescue her parents, it would be a blessing from heaven to her.
She had never met Yun Che before, and she didn’t know any of his background, not even whether he was good or evil. But, just like a drowning person on the verge of death, he would desperately try to grab anything he could grab… This black-clothed man with an unknown origin and a strange aura, who crushed Young Master Ming Peng to death like an ant, made her feel like she had seen a life-saving straw shining with dark light in her despair.
Yun Che did not react at all.
“Senior…Senior!”
Yun Che’s indifference did not make her disappointed and retreat. She urged the remaining profound energy to move forward quickly and threw herself directly behind Yun Che. Her bloodstained arms firmly grasped the corner of his clothes. Her sad words were already filled with tears: “Junior, I beg you to help me. As long as you are willing to help, any conditions…”
Yun Che's robe was thrown back.
BANG!!
With a dull thud, Dongfang Hanwei was blown far away like a purple butterfly caught in a hurricane. Her frail body fell heavily back to the side of the old man in black, with blood oozing from the corners of her lips.
“Your Highness… Your Highness!” The old man in black shook his head desperately: “Don’t force it. Protecting yourself is the greatest comfort to the king and his men.”
Yun Che was still not far away, so he naturally did not dare to say that Yun Che was definitely an extremely dangerous person.
Dongfang Hanwei lowered her head, and the blood at the corners of her lips dripped onto the ground. Her slim hope... or fantasy, was shattered.
At this moment, she suddenly felt her vision dim... She subconsciously looked up, only to see the man in black appear in front of her like a ghost, his cold and evil eyes looking at her indifferently.
"..." She stood there in a daze, staring at him speechlessly.
“Any conditions are acceptable, right?” Yun Che said, like a demon making a contract with a desperate mortal.
The old man in black's face suddenly changed. He wanted to stop it... but he couldn't make a sound, and his raised hand froze in mid-air.
How could a terrifying figure who easily killed four gods and Young Master Mingpeng commit any crime!
However, Dongfang Hanwei’s eyes lit up with hope. She looked at Yun Che and nodded slowly and firmly: “As long as Senior can save my father, the king and my mother… I will comply with any conditions. Otherwise, Senior can take my life.”
“Okay.” Yun Che narrowed his eyes. Facing the beautiful and charming Princess Han Wei, who made Young Master Ming Peng greedily infatuated with her, his eyes were cold as if he was looking at a dead person: “Lead the way.”
"...Thank you for your kindness, senior." Dongfang Hanwei bowed her head deeply, and her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears. It was unclear whether they were tears of joy for grabbing a life-saving straw, or tears of sorrow for her own fate.
The black-clothed old man's hands fell down helplessly. From the moment Yun Che agreed, everything was irreversible. He could only say: "Your Excellency, I am grateful for your kindness... I will entrust the princess to you. Please treat her well in view of your sincerity... In my next life, I will repay you with a gift of grass and a ring."
“Hmph.” Yun Che slightly turned sideways and pointed his finger, and strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into the old man’s body.
Suddenly, the face of the old man in black changed. He felt as if countless clear springs were pouring into his already exhausted body. His energy recovered at an unbelievable speed. His consciousness quickly became clear, and the pain in the wounds, which had been numb, became more and more obvious.
The dried-up Xuanmai also quickly surged with wisps of Xuanqi.
After trying to move his hands and feet, the old man in black stood up effortlessly. He looked at Yun Che, his old eyes trembling, as if he was looking at a god descending from the mortal world. Then his whole body suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly leaned over and bowed deeply: "I am Qin Yan, greeting your Excellency. Your kindness today will be unforgettable to me forever."
“Lead the way!” Yun Che’s tone became a little harder, and it was obvious that he was still impatient with their nonsense.
