However, he was fast, but Zhang Yunyuan was even faster!
Eita felt a series of excruciating pains in all four of his joints at the same time.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
The four muffled sounds almost connected in a single line.
Zhang Yunyuan's figure flashed around him four times like lightning. Four finger strikes containing lightning-infused force pierced through his protective qi with perfect precision and exploded on the joints of his limbs!
Bones shattered, tendons severed!
"what--!"
Eita let out a scream that was not human, and collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
Before the excruciating pain had fully spread throughout his body, a dark shadow enveloped him once again.
Before his screams could even subside, Zhang Yunyuan's fingers, as sharp as a halberd, swept past him with lightning speed.
The Primordial Qi instantly invaded his eye sockets, and that all-consuming chaotic power completely corroded and devoured his eyeballs and optic nerves in a short instant!
Eita's world was instantly plunged into eternal, boundless darkness.
"My eyes! My eyes!"
Desperate screams echoed through the valley, filled with endless pain and fear.
He had completely lost the ability to resist, lying in a pool of blood like a lump of mud, only able to feel endless pain and the impending unknown that was more terrifying than death.
Zhang Yunyuan coldly watched him roll and writhe on the ground, howling in pain, and slowly walked forward.
He stepped on Eita's chest, immobilizing him, and slowly cradled his head with both hands.
Eita felt the warmth from those icy hands, and sensed the impending terror that would end everything. He struggled frantically, making incomprehensible hoarse noises.
Zhang Yunyuan gave him no chance.
A sudden burst of power!
A sickeningly sharp cracking sound, like bone breaking.
Eita's neck was twisted and broken.
However, Zhang Yunyuan precisely controlled his strength, preventing him from dying immediately.
He carried Eita's limp body to the edge of the pier.
Then, as if discarding the dirtiest piece of trash, they threw this man, whose limbs were crippled, eyes were blind, neck was broken, and who was barely clinging to life, off the abyss beside them.
The wind whistled in my ears.
In extreme pain and boundless darkness, Eita met his final, shattered end.
Chapter 70 Returning to the Mountains to Report Safety, the Celestial Master's Far-sightedness
After Zhang Yunyuan killed Nikaido Eita, the bloody aura around him had not yet dissipated when he transformed into a streak of light in the night and returned to Longmahu Mountain without lingering.
He didn't even return to his own residence, but went straight to see the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing.
In the quiet room of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the lamplight was dim.
Zhang Jingqing looked at her travel-worn young apprentice, whose brows still held a trace of lingering murderous aura, and her heart tightened. She quickly pulled him to her side and looked him up and down.
"I heard that there's a warrior in the Higanbana Ninja Clan who has killed several Tang Clan masters in succession. He's extremely strong. You weren't injured by him, were you?"
The old master's voice was filled with lingering fear.
"Fortunately, I was lucky and was not injured."
Zhang Yunyuan replied casually.
"so far so good."
The old master breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken. "He's a madman. Even if the head of the Tang Clan encountered him, he might not be able to gain the upper hand!"
Zhang Yunyuan raised his head, his clear eyes appearing exceptionally calm under the lamplight.
"Don't worry, Master, the Tang Clan leader will never be able to run into him again."
"Because I have already killed him."
"what?!"
Even though Zhang Jingqing had seen many storms in her life, she was struck as if by a thunderbolt. The warm teacup in her hand shook violently, and the tea splashed out, burning the back of her hand without her noticing.
He stared intently at Zhang Yunyuan, his voice trembling.
How could you kill him?
Zhang Yunyuan lowered his eyes and laid out the words he had already prepared.
It is said that Eita had fought a series of battles in Mianshan, first against the Tang Clan masters, and then against the Quanxing Grandmaster Liang Ting. He was already at his limit, and Eita found an opening and managed to take advantage of the situation.
This explanation is reasonable.
Zhang Jingqing remained silent.
He looked at the disciple before him, who was decisive yet still immature, and saw a coldness and weariness on his exquisitely sculpted face that was incongruous with his age.
Relief and deeper worry collided fiercely in his heart like two undercurrents.
This child's talent is even more terrifying than he imagined.
This temperament was even more ruthless than he had imagined.
He didn't blame her; the "nonsense" that was on the tip of his tongue ultimately turned into a long sigh.
He simply extended his calloused hand and gently patted Zhang Yunyuan's shoulder.
"This matter ends here."
The old master spoke with utmost solemnity.
"Do not tell anyone, not a single word can be leaked, lest we invite a retaliation even more frenzied than that of the He Ninja Clan."
"The disciple understands."
"Go ahead and get some rest."
Zhang Yunyuan bowed and took his leave.
In the quiet room, only the old master remained.
He looked out the window at the deep night, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless darkness, looking towards the war-torn land.
The battle at Mianshan may seem like a private feud between the Tang Clan and the Bihe Ninja Clan, but the forces involved behind the scenes are deeply intertwined.
Although the Higanbana ninja suffered heavy casualties, their main force was not wiped out, and an even bigger storm was brewing.
His young apprentice had already gotten himself involved in this mess.
Another sigh echoed softly in the still night.
Flowers bloom and fade in the mountains; two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yunyuan followed his master's instructions and devoted himself to cultivation on Longhu Mountain, rarely venturing out.
In the past two years, he has devoted all his energy to sorting out and integrating his own techniques.
He was no longer satisfied with simply checking in and accumulating points. Instead, he began to try to deeply integrate the two seemingly unrelated but essentially interconnected extraordinary skills, namely, the "Zhengyuan Qi Sensation" and the "Hunyuan Dao Qi".
[Zhengyuan Qi Sensation] allows him to perceive the origin and trajectory of all righteous cultivation methods, while [Hunyuan Dao Qi] can devour and simulate all kinds of methods.
The combination of the two was like giving him a pair of "eyes" that could see through the mysteries of all the cultivation methods in the world, and a "Daoist body" that could accommodate countless methods.
His strength, through repeated attempts and insights, became increasingly unfathomable, like an abyss with no bottom in sight.
However, he always maintained a low profile in public, remaining the "junior brother" in the eyes of his senior brothers who was exceptionally talented but still needed to hone his skills.
However, the world beneath Longhu Mountain became increasingly chaotic due to the aftermath of the Battle of Mianshan.
The battle between the Bihe Ninja Clan and the Tang Clan has never ceased.
Over the course of two years, the two sides engaged in countless bloody battles in secret, with no fewer than a hundred conflicts of varying sizes. From the southwestern border to the heart of the Central Plains, traces of their fighting were left everywhere.
Hatred deepened with each life-or-death struggle, reaching a point where it was irreconcilable.
The entire Higanbana clan once launched a full-scale attack on the Tang Clan's headquarters in Shu, attempting to destroy this thousand-year-old assassin family in one fell swoop.
That battle was so fierce that the sky darkened and the soil behind the Tang Clan's mountain was soaked in blood and turned dark red.
In the end, although the Bihe Ninja Clan inflicted heavy losses on the Tang Clan, they were also battered and bruised and severely weakened by the Tang Clan's traps, poison arrays, and fearless counterattacks.
After that, the Tang Clan further demonstrated their ruthless nature of being vengeful.
The Tang Clan leader personally issued a challenge, arranging a duel with the newly appointed leader of the Bihe Ren at the perilous and treacherous place of Toutian Cave in Sichuan.
It was a decisive battle that staked the honor and future of two sects.
The Higanbana ninja clan dispatched ten of their top elites, including the new ninja leader, Nichiriki, in an attempt to achieve a decisive victory in one battle.
The result was that they were like lambs to the slaughter.
The Tang Clan had already laid a trap in the Sky-Piercing Cave, and almost all ten elite ninjas were wiped out.
After this battle, the fighting strength of the Bihe Ninja Clan's high-level members was almost completely depleted, their vitality was severely damaged, and they completely lost the ability to compete with the Tang Clan. They slunk away from the stage of the Chinese supernatural world and never dared to set foot there again.
However, the Tang Clan also paid an unbearable price for this.
Several elders and experts who were in charge of the sect perished in that fierce final battle.
Looking across the entire world of supernatural beings in China, after this battle, almost all the top masters from many sects were wiped out.
A more chaotic, yet more magnificent era belonging to young people is about to arrive.
Chapter 71 Reunion with an Old Friend, A Palm That Shocks the Demon
After the threat from Higanbana was eliminated, the world of supernatural beings enjoyed a brief period of peace.
It was at this moment that Zhang Yunyuan heard the name "Wugensheng" again.
Unlike two years ago, this time, he was no longer just an acting leader, but had quelled all the internal strife within Quanxing and officially ascended to the position of leader of Quanxing.
His name began to truly resound throughout the entire world of supernatural beings.
