Yun Jianyue snorted coldly and directly summoned the Changxin Palace Lantern. The raging sea of white lotus fire was immediately absorbed into it, and in the end, it only turned into a small flame the size of a soybean, which was violently dancing in the lantern, as if it was struggling with all its might, but in the end, it could not break free from the binding of the Changxin Palace Lantern.
Banka was shocked, never expecting that his trump card would be so easily exposed.
By now, he could easily see that he had kicked a steel plate. Without any hesitation, he turned and ran.
Hyenas have exceptional endurance and can run long distances, making them a match even for lions.
But Yun Jianyue didn't give him a chance. Her figure moved like lightning, appearing behind him almost instantly, grabbing his head, and effortlessly ripping it off.
Yes, it's exactly picking; it's really hard to find any other more suitable word to describe it.
Banka was kept in the dark. He tried his best to escape, but suddenly felt his whole body become lighter.
Then I saw a figure suddenly appear in front of me. Why was this person running around without a head?
The moment this question arose, he suddenly realized a chilling possibility, and then his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.
The headless body ran for a while longer before collapsing to the ground, blood gushing from its neck, and then it lay there convulsing.
Seeing this horrifying scene, Black Tooth was terrified and hurriedly ran in another direction. His legs went weak and he almost fell several times.
Like the Grim Reaper, Yun Jianyue swiftly reaped the lives of his surrounding subordinates.
Sensing death approaching, Black Tooth Gu ran while shouting, "You can't kill me! I'm from the Black Tooth family! My uncle is the Emperor's brother-in-law, the Grand Minister of Works! My elder brother is..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of wind behind him. Fearing that he would repeat the same mistake as Banka, Black Tooth hurriedly turned around and opened his blood-red maw to bite the other party.
A set of black teeth gleamed with a sinister light. This was their family's innate ability; their teeth were incredibly hard, capable of easily crushing gold and jade, and they were also coated with venom. Once bitten by them, even the most powerful cultivator would perish on the spot.
Unfortunately, this time he encountered the leader of a demonic sect who had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. How could he possibly stumble and be ambushed by him? A sharp gust of wind struck his forehead in advance, and then a cloud of blood mist burst out from the back of his head.
The once menacing maw drooped limply in an instant, and Black Tooth Gu collapsed backward, his eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe that anyone would dare to kill him in the royal court.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the hunter became the prey, and none of the ferocious creatures that had just been so vicious were left breathing.
Yu Yanluo was secretly alarmed. She was used to seeing her bickering with Yan Xuehen, as if she were a mischievous little girl. Now she realized that she was the infamous leader of the Demonic Sect.
Yan Xuehen's face turned frosty: "Witch, you are far too ruthless, killing so many people!"
"You're too kind-hearted. Don't try to lecture me." As if because she had just gone on a killing spree, Yun Jianyue's eyes still held a trace of ferocity. "If you're not convinced, then come and have a go."
Seeing that the two were really about to fight, Zu An quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Actually, Sister Yun did this for the safety of our group. If we let the tiger return to the mountain, it will invite even more severe retaliation, and our information will be leaked. Various forces will start to pay attention to and investigate us, and even the Demon Emperor will pay more attention. At that time, I'm afraid none of us will survive. Sister Yun knows all this, but you know her personality. She definitely won't bother to explain to us."
Yun Jianyue's eyes flickered slightly. This guy really understands me. However, she refused to admit it and said, "Why be so long-winded? I have already decided to kill you. There are no excuses."
Yan Xuehen had roughly guessed the reason, but as a righteous leader, she couldn't accept such drastic measures.
What angered her even more was that Zuan actually chose to help Yun Jianyue, even though they were the ones who were closer!
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +333 +333 +333...
Zuan was startled, not understanding what he had done to offend her.
Just then, the Changxin Palace Lantern in Yun Jianyue's hand began to tremble violently, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
"What's wrong?" Zu'an asked hurriedly.
Yun Jianyue said in a deep voice, "Just now, I took advantage of Banka's low cultivation level and lack of proficiency in controlling the White Lotus True Fire to seize it. However, the White Lotus True Fire is a rare species in the world. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Although I was able to use the Changxin Palace Lantern to take it in for a short time, the two kinds of true fire inside are incompatible with each other. If they continue to stay together, they may completely erupt."
At this moment, Yan Xuehen couldn't care less about being angry with her and quickly said, "We need a container to store this true fire, but a plate of mortal food is simply not enough to contain this true fire; it will be instantly burned to ashes."
"It's a pity that Banka's furnace was damaged during the fight." Yu Yanluo picked up the furnace next to Banka's corpse. It was completely deformed and broken. It seemed that the damage to the furnace was caused by the violent force of the Changxin Palace Lantern pulling the White Lotus True Fire away.
"It's just that some people are too ruthless." Yan Xuehen glared fiercely at Yun Jianyue.
Yun Jianyue's phoenix eyes narrowed, and seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Zu An hurriedly said, "I do have something here, I wonder if it can help me put away this White Lotus True Fire."
As he spoke, he took out the Nine Cauldrons that he had obtained in the courtyard of Shen Xuzi on the back mountain of the National Academy. After refining some Gathering Yuan Pills at the beginning, he had not used them for a long time.
