Chapter 13: Returning to Void Realm, Trump card is used

"Boom——"

As the two figures collided, dust and debris filled the air, and many sharp blade auras scattered, leaving deep wounds visible on anyone caught in their range!

"Ah! My leg!"

"My eyes…"

"Too terrifying! This attack from Young Master Zhang was only the aftermath of his blade aura, yet it's so horrifying!"

"Leng Yanran might not die, but she'll definitely be severely injured!"

The victims cried out in pain, and the onlookers were shocked by the power of this move. They couldn't help but imagine what would happen if they were the targets; they would probably be turned to dust!

"This attack would inflict considerable damage even on us, Transcendent Realm Ninth stage cultivators!"

"No wonder he is the chief disciple of the Luo Heaven Sect. If he used all his trump cards, he could probably withstand a few moves from an expert in the Return to Void Realm!"

"Don't forget, he's just at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm!"

The three family heads widened their eyes as they witnessed the scene. Especially Leng Zhan, who clenched his fists, his palms full of sweat.

He almost couldn't resist rushing forward to save Leng Yanran, but he knew that if he made a move, the other two family heads would not stand idly by!

So, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure!

As the dust settled, two figures were revealed. Everyone's eyes widened, and their mouths could almost fit an egg!

Leng Yanran, who was expected to be severely injured, was completely unharmed. On the other hand, Zhang Tianze, the young master they favored and fawned over, was almost dead, half of his body blown away by that finger!

His right arm, along with his right shoulder, was gone without a trace. The wound was still being eroded by a black aura.

"Thump."

Zhang Tianze knelt in pain on the ground, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"So weak…"

Leng Yanran was slightly dazed. She hadn't expected this guy to look so strong but turn out to be this weak. However, she also realized that this "so weak" was directed at herself.

After witnessing her master's Heavenly Demon Finger at the Gathering Qi Realm Triple Heaven, she felt completely inadequate!

"Daring to hurt our sect's chief disciple!"

Before everyone could react, a dark-faced old man appeared by Zhang Tianze's side. He took out a pill and fed it to him, using his spiritual power to suppress the further erosion of the black aura.

"Considering your cultivation, surrender now, and come back with this elder to Luo Heaven Sect. If you cooperate, I might spare your life!"

The elder glared at Leng Yanran with a sinister gaze, cursing her in his heart. He followed the chief disciple out to protect him, but now the chief disciple suffered such a severe injury. It was a serious dereliction of duty, and he would surely be punished when he returned!

This woman in front of him was the mastermind, so he wanted to take her back to the sect, hoping that the Sect Master could show leniency when the time came!

"The young one just came and now its time for the old one huh?… First, try to withstand my Heavenly Demon Finger!"

Leng Yanran raised an eyebrow. Although she couldn't tell the old man's cultivation level, he was at least a powerful expert in the Return to Void Realm. However, she had no intention of surrendering; that would be an insult to her master's dignity!

Besides, even if this guy was in the Return to Void Realm or even stronger at the Annihilation Realm, so what? Her master had given her the means to save her life!

With this in mind, Leng Yanran didn't hesitate at all. She pointed a finger towards the old man without a second thought.

"Hmph, a mere Transcendent Realm Second Heaven dares to release such a terrifying attack! It's just a trick!"

The old man snorted coldly and gathered his spiritual power in his palm, forming sharp claws that he aimed at Leng Yanran to grab her!

As their attacks clashed, Leng Yanran grunted and retreated ten feet to dissipate the force. The old man, on the other hand, seemed unharmed and didn't retreat half a step. He casually placed his hand behind him, concealing the tremor in his palm.

"Only Transcendent Realm Second Heaven, yet you can unleash such terrifying attack power. What kind of supernatural power are you cultivating?

"However, these are just some small tricks. Against my Return to Void Realm Seventh Heaven strength, they're useless!"

The old man was secretly surprised, but he remained confident. With his strength, capturing this woman was no problem at all.

The surrounding people were equally amazed.

"So this is a powerful expert in the Return to Void Realm?"

"The supernatural power that severely injured Zhang Tianze seems to have no effect!"

"But Leng Yanran's strength is quite astonishing, unexpectedly so terrifying!"

"If she continues to cultivate for some time, won't she be able to contend with the Return to Void Realm? The Leng family will completely dominate the other two major families!"

People discussed fervently, even the three family heads were amazed. They hadn't expected Leng Yanran to possess such strength.

They even thought that Leng Yanran could now battle against the Transcendent Realm Ninth Heaven and might even have the upper hand!

All of this seemed to originate from that horrifying one-finger technique!

Thinking this way, the two family heads looked at Leng Zhan with some apprehension. If Leng Zhan could also use that technique, wouldn't he easily suppress both of them?

"Let's see how long you can resist!"

The old man wasted no time and lunged at Leng Yanran once again with an attack.

Leng Yanran could only keep using the Heavenly Demon Finger to defend herself. Although her Qi Hai had expanded a hundredfold due to the Chaos Demon Art, continuously using the Heavenly Demon Finger was still extremely draining!

In no time, she felt her spiritual power was insufficient, making it increasingly difficult to cope with the old man's attacks!

The old man, too, became more and more astonished. He had assumed that such a powerful technique would surely consume enormous amounts of spiritual power. With her Transcendent Realm Second Heaven cultivation, she would at most be able to use it two or three times at most.

Yet Leng Yanran had unleashed more than ten finger attacks and still hadn't exhausted her spiritual energy!

How could that not make him feel shocked!

However, in the end, the gap in their realms was too huge.

"What's wrong? Out of spiritual energy? Now let's see how you'll resist!"

The old man saw that Leng Yanran was no longer attacking and sneered. He reached out to grab her neck.

But just then, Leng Yanran let out a long sigh. People thought she sighed because she knew she was about to face a tragic situation. However, Leng Yanran reached into her bosom and took out a jade pendant. Without hesitation, she crushed it in front of the old man.

"It's a pity. I had to use the trump card that my master left me…"

Leng Yanran whispered softly. Before her, a demon with surging black aura had appeared, its eyes crimson, staring at the approaching old man.

It pointed a finger!

The old man sensed something amiss and wanted to retreat. However, under the gaze of the crimson eyes of the demon, he felt as if he were bound and couldn't move at all!

He could only watch helplessly as the demon's finger pointed at his forehead! With a single finger, the demon dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Yet, the cold sweat on everyone's body reminded them that the scene just now was real. The terrifying aura made them want to kneel down in fear, trembling uncontrollably, but they had lost control of their bodies!

Looking at the old man, they found him standing in place, his eyes devoid of any vitality. There was a hole in his forehead, and malevolent energy spread from the wound.

In a moment, the malevolent energy corroded him entirely, and he scattered like dust!
