Chapter 136: Annihilated by a Single Palm

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Annihilated by a Single Palm

Yi Xiaoyao looked at the horrified Lei Zhen and gave a cold smile. After his Cultivation surged from using the Soul Burning Forbidden Technique, the speed of his Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique had naturally skyrocketed as well. Dodging that thunderous punch just now had been child’s play.

Now, with an icy glint in his eyes, Yi Xiaoyao abruptly slashed down with his Bloodthirsty Sword!

Countless streams of Sword Qi erupted with immense power, as if they could destroy anything and everything.

Lei Zhen’s pupils contracted. He could feel that this slash posed an immense threat to him, and he didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.

"Thunderous Burst Palm!"

He thrust out a palm, and lightning raged. A massive palm seal made of lightning tore through the air, barreling toward the countless streams of Destructive Sword Qi.

BOOM!

A deafening roar resounded through the air.

The two terrifying forces collided head-on, instantly forming tangible waves of Qi. These waves transformed into shockwaves that swept outward with unstoppable momentum.

VWOOM~~~

It was like a star exploding.

The terrifying shockwaves blasted out wildly in every direction. The distant spectators were caught in the blast; they were all sent stumbling and tumbling, some even spitting blood as they were thrown backward.

The shockwave swept through the numerous nearby trees. Many were instantly uprooted and sent flying, while others simply exploded where they stood.

It was world-ending devastation, a truly apocalyptic scene.

’How is this possible! Why has this little bastard suddenly become so powerful?!’

Lei Zhen was utterly shaken. He watched in profound horror as the sky-shattering sword light, formed from countless streams of Sword Qi, pierced directly into his giant thunder palm.

Immediately after, the sword light exploded, scattering into streams of black Destructive Sword Qi that tore open his giant thunder palm from within. The Sword Qi swept through, grinding it to dust in an instant.

SWOOSH!

Although most of its power was spent breaking through the giant palm, about a hundred streams of residual Sword Qi still shot straight for Lei Zhen.

BANG!

Lei Zhen’s eyes flew open as he hastily blocked the streams of Sword Qi.

Just then, Yi Xiaoyao’s black-clad figure shot forward, exuding a Sword Intent that looked down on the world and a terrifying, world-shaking aura.

The next moment, he was already in front of Lei Zhen.

"Old bastard, are you surprised?"

Yi Xiaoyao stared at the man, his gaze as sharp as a sword, his smile as cold as a razor’s edge.

"You..."

Lei Zhen was far beyond surprised. As he watched Yi Xiaoyao slash at him again, his face began to twist in horror.

CRACKLE!

A crackle of thunder erupted from where Lei Zhen had been standing. He vanished in a flash of lightning, leaving behind only a spray of fresh blood.

’Oh? A Body Technique Spiritual Skill?’

Yi Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow. The technique Lei Zhen had just used to disappear was actually a Thunder-Attribute Body Technique.

Meanwhile, Lei Zhen’s figure reappeared several hundred yards away. His robes were tattered, and a fresh, bloody gash was visible on his chest—the price for not dodging one of Yi Xiaoyao’s Sword Qi streams in time.

"Yi Xiaoyao! You have thoroughly enraged me!"

Lei Zhen roared, feeling the intense pain in his chest.

Then he gave a cruel laugh. "Don’t think I don’t know. A Secret Technique like yours that boosts strength can’t last long. Once its time is up, you’re dead!"

"Heh. Lei Zhen, do you really think you’ll live to see that moment?"

Yi Xiaoyao sneered, and in the next instant, his figure began to fade.

Before the afterimage had completely faded, his true form appeared behind Lei Zhen, and he slashed out with his sword once more.

Lei Zhen spun around with a punch, transforming into lightning and disappearing again.

What followed was a spectacle: Yi Xiaoyao’s figure flickered into existence in one spot after another, relentlessly pursuing Lei Zhen, who kept transforming into lightning to evade him.

Everyone watching this scene had looks of utter amazement on their faces.

"Am I seeing things? An elder of the Cloud Transformation Sect at the Golden Core Eighth Layer is actually being hunted down by Yi Xiaoyao?"

"My heavens! This Yi Xiaoyao is terrifying! To hunt down a Golden Core Eighth Layer expert with only a Golden Core First Realm Cultivation... something like this, probably only he could ever do!"

"Look! Lei Zhen’s been hit again!"

Someone suddenly cried out, and everyone whipped their heads around to look.

Sure enough, during the frantic chase, Yi Xiaoyao had managed to strike Lei Zhen several times, with the final blow severely wounding both of his legs.

In a furious rage, Lei Zhen threw out a palm strike, forcing Yi Xiaoyao back for a moment. He then retreated to the area where the Jin Clan Members were gathered.

Being chased so pathetically by a mere Golden Core First Realm youth, he had completely lost all face and was now thundering with rage.

"Yi Xiaoyao! You forced my hand!" Lei Zhen roared.

In the next instant, everyone felt the atmosphere grow heavy and oppressive. Thunder began to roll across the sky.

"Thunder Summoning Technique!"

Lei Zhen violently spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed a finger to the sky. Instantly, bolts of lightning began to surge wildly overhead.

Yi Xiaoyao’s expression hardened, and his heart sank.

It wasn’t just that the aura of the lightning was terrifying; more importantly, his Soul Burning Forbidden Technique was running out of time.

’I have to finish this guy quickly.’

Yi Xiaoyao muttered to himself. Lei Zhen’s Body Technique had made him far too agile to pin down before. Now that he was stationary summoning lightning, it was the perfect opportunity to truly kill him.

Abruptly, the temperature of the air skyrocketed. The Spiritual Power within Yi Xiaoyao’s body rapidly converged in the palm of his hand.

As he raised his hand, a colossal palm made of Flame suddenly materialized.

At the same time, the lightning in the sky rained down with a tumultuous roar!

"Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm!"

With a sharp cry, Yi Xiaoyao thrust out his palm. The giant Demon Flame Palm swelled in the air, instantly expanding into a sky-blotting conflagration hundreds of yards wide.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

Heaven and earth turned into a world of fire. The giant Flame palm tore through the air, bearing down on Lei Zhen with overwhelming momentum.

Wherever it passed, it incinerated all the lightning falling from the sky.

"What is this!!!"

Lei Zhen stared at the approaching palm, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets in terror. He frantically called down more lightning, trying to stop the giant Flame palm.

"Lei Zhen, stop your useless struggles! Go die with the rest of the Jin Family!" Yi Xiaoyao’s voice rang out, as cold and final as the Death God himself.

The Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm was an Earth Tier Spiritual Skill. After Yi Xiaoyao had previously collected Demon Fire for his Cultivation, he had already raised the skill to the mid-Earth Tier.

Most importantly, Yi Xiaoyao was now unleashing it while under the effects of the Soul Burning Forbidden Technique. Its power was simply unimaginable.

"No!!!"

Lei Zhen’s eyes widened in sheer terror, for he had discovered that his lightning was completely unable to stop this astonishing giant Flame palm.

BOOM!

The rampaging lightning only managed to stall the giant Flame palm for a single instant before being utterly annihilated. In the blink of an eye, Lei Zhen was engulfed by the flames and turned to ash before he could even scream.

And then, its momentum completely undiminished, the Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm continued on its path, crushing down toward the Jin Mansion.

All the Jin Clan Members stared at the sky-blotting palm descending upon them, their minds going blank as they screamed in terror.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

The giant Flame palm mercilessly razed the entire Jin Mansion to the ground. It finally exploded with a deafening roar, annihilating everything for thousands of yards in every direction and instantly forming a shocking, gigantic, charred crater.

Lei Zhen was dead!

The Jin Family was no more!

Annihilated by a single palm strike!
