Seeing that Jialou Venerable had died at the hands of Lin Yi, a look of shocked anger suddenly surfaced on Kongfa Venerable’s face.
He had never dreamed that Lin Yi could kill Jialou Venerable right under his nose!
The worst outcome he had anticipated was merely Jialou Venerable being gravely wounded by Lin Yi.
"You little beast, you really deserve to die!"
The moment Jialou Venerable was slain, Kongfa Venerable’s palm, already charged with power, viciously struck Lin Yi’s back.
Lin Yi’s body was heavily slammed onto the ground.
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
This palm, containing all of Kongfa Venerable’s strength, even the robust meat body of Lin Yi couldn’t withstand it!
Focused solely on killing Jialou Venerable, he had underestimated the capabilities of Kongfa Venerable, at the Fourth Level of Venerable Realm. The opponent indeed seized the opportunity when he revealed himself and launched a full-strength strike!
Instantly, he was severely injured!
Leaving him without the power to continue fighting!
"Boy, dare to kill my comrade, come and meet your death!"
Kongfa Venerable’s eyes were cold, and his battle sword drew ripples in the air as it swiftly slashed towards Lin Yi’s throat!
At the critical moment, the ground beneath Lin Yi suddenly sank, and a vortex appeared out of nowhere, sucking in Lin Yi’s body!
Kongfa Venerable’s blade light cut through empty space, even though it cleaved the vortex, it failed to touch even a hair of Lin Yi’s true body!
"Where do you think you can escape?"
Infuriated by Lin Yi escape at the crucial moment, Kongfa Venerable’s Sword Intent surged wildly from within him, turning into a sky-covering blade light, descending from the heavens and striking down on the ancient forest around him.
Under the wrathful assault of Kongfa Venerable, the ancient forest was instantly turned into a mess, all vegetation and creatures shattered, the ground fractured, and the Quasi-Seven-Order Array set up by Little Jin finally collapsed under Kongfa Venerable’s indiscriminate bombardment!
"Not good, the array is broken!"
Little Jin quickly transmitted a message to Lin Yi, "Kid, run!"
Lin Yi was also shocked, knowing all too well what it meant to lose the protection of the array, he would now face Kongfa Venerable head-on, while already severely injured.
The odds were not in his favor!
At this time, Hao Yanluo too had finished his temporary rest and pressed into the array, his Demon Eyes scavenging intensely to locate Lin Yi.
In that twisted space, Hao Yanluo quickly found Lin Yi. His eyes lit up, and with a sinister smile he said, "Lin Yi, there’s no escape! Once you fall into my hands, I’ll make you understand what it means to wish for death rather than life!"
"To face two Venerables from Jiuyou Demon Hall teamed up and still manage to kill one, even if you die here today, Lin Yi, you can be proud of yourself!"
Kongfa Venerable activated his battle sword, sending it flying to decapitate Lin Yi!
"Sorry, but I’m not ready to die just yet. I don’t plan on dying today!"
Lin Yi, too, sent out the Meteor Sword, remotely controlling it to block Kongfa Venerable’s battle sword in midair!
Sword clashed against blade, but it was Lin Yi who was sent flying back hundreds of meters. Yet, this was precisely the outcome Lin Yi had hoped for; using the tremendous thrusting force, he retreated several hundred meters and then chose to flee far away!
With his body grievously injured as it was, engaging a Fourth Level Venerable Realm opponent to the death was not the wise course of action!
"Whether you live or die is not for you to decide!"
Yet as Lin Yi tried to flee, Kongfa Venerable and Hao Yanluo were not about to let him get away. Counting the previously involved Qingye Venerable, Jiuyou Demon Hall had already lost two Venerables to Lin Yi, sustaining a great loss.
If they also failed in their pursuit and let Lin Yi escape, then Jiuyou Demon Hall would utterly lose face and become laughing stock among the ancient sects and Holy Lands of Central Province!
Lin Yi had been struck by a palm from Kongfa Venerable and was severely injured, even if he fled using the momentum, how could he outrun an unscathed Kongfa Venerable?
"Kid, obediently atone for Jialou Venerable’s death; it’s your only fate!"
Kongfa Venerable sneered with a curled lip, his chilling gaze locked onto Lin Yi. His blade light, like a sound wave, spread through the air and in the blink of an eye had reached behind Lin Yi!
However, just when the blade light was about to strike Lin Yi, a great hand embodying the righteous energy of heaven and earth suddenly flew out in front of Lin Yi and seized Kongfa Venerable’s Sound Wave Blade Light!
In the next moment, with a ’snap’, it crushed the blade light to dust!
Kongfa Venerable’s smile abruptly froze, his gaze darkened to the extreme, "Who is it?!"
"Having the audacity to ruin the grand plan of Jiuyou Demon Hall, you’ve got some nerve!"
"For a high-ranking Kongfa Venerable to attack a junior, it’s quite shameful."
A voice laced with a trace of mockery came from the direction of the great hand. Kongfa Venerable and Hao Yanluo both narrowed their eyes, and there, they saw a white-robed elder standing on a golden cloud, emanating a grand aura of authority, drawing near.
Hao Yanluo’s pupils suddenly constricted, "Golden Cloud Venerable of Taiyi Holy Land!"
