Chapter 66: Chapter 62: Kill

In the moment when the wondrous Ice Phoenix illusion took shape, Jiang Yao, her boundless long hair flying like a waterfall, along with the grand Ice Phoenix illusion enveloping her, collided fiercely against the descending Blood-eyed Fire Tiger illusion.

Roar!

The Blood-eyed Fire Tiger illusion, carrying flames of terror that could incinerate everything, ignited a sea of fire that engulfed the heavens.

Clang!

The Ice Phoenix illusion shimmered with ice-cold radiance as endless frost burst from every divine feather, turning the expanse between the heavens into a world of heavy snowfall.

Fire and snow clashed wildly, forcefully suppressing each other in an earth-shattering cacophony, as the entire sky was ablaze with a blinding light.

All the spectators, even the few high-ranking experts of the Spirit Sea Realm, struggled to keep their eyes open.

Within the clamor of the tremendous explosions and blinding brilliance, the roars of the enormous tiger grew more tragic and startling by the moment.

While the divine Ice Phoenix's clear cries that resonated through the heavens became louder and more piercing, echoing far and wide!

When the dazzle of light reached its zenith and the sounds of explosions gradually faded,

onlookers looked up to see that in the sky, where the two were clashing, Zhou Yuntian in the blood robe, along with the massive Blood-eyed Fire Tiger illusion that had swirled around him, had vanished without a trace, leaving only a downpour of blood that rained over his entire body.

In contrast, Jiang Yao still stood proudly in the sky, the grand Ice Phoenix illusion outside her body shimmering with a vast aura that fully enveloped the entire heavens!

Even at the end, the immense Ice Phoenix illusion slowly solidified, and on each feather, endless divine patterns could be seen flowing and an infinite radiance bursting forth.

From the aura of the two, it was clear that in the recent clash, Jiang Yao had gained the upper hand!

Jiang Yao, at the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, actually managed to completely suppress Zhou Yuntian, who was in the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm!

"Jiang Yao sister!"

On the Sect Plaza, Liu Chan'er looked up at Jiang Yao towering in the void, calling out with boundless surprise. Her sister Jiang Yao had never disappointed her, remaining as formidable and incredible as ever!

As for Ye Chen, his eyes were also fixed on Jiang Yao, her long hair like a cascading waterfall and the immense Ice Phoenix illusion swirling around her, deeply etched into his heart.

This was Jiang Yao!

This was the girl who liked him, and the girl he liked as well!

"Powerful! Incredibly powerful!"

"The heir of Taixuan Sect, the foremost prodigy among the thirty-six sects, truly lives up to the reputation!"

At this moment, the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect and the seven elders looked at each other and saw shock and awe in each other's eyes.

They were relieved that they had not intervened after Jiang Yao appeared and had not ultimately supported Zhou Yuntian's side because if they had, perhaps this miraculous girl, just like how she defeated Zhou Yuntian, would have defeated them all!

They recognized the origin of the Blood-eyed Fire Tiger illusion employed by Zhou Yuntian, but they could not identify the Ice Phoenix outside Jiang Yao and what kind of divine entity it was.

Even without recognizing it, they knew it was clearly a more formidable and terrifying existence than the "Bloody-eyed Tiger King"!

In the skies above.

Jiang Yao, looking at Zhou Yuntian covered in blood, bit her red lips tightly and uttered three words, "It ends now!"

She was determined to resolve this major trouble for Ye Chen, to free him from Zhou Yuntian's poisoning and threats—now was the time to end it all!

The colossal Ice Phoenix avatar relentlessly struck while the hundred-zhang shield withstood the terrifying onslaught.

The battle in the sky had shifted from evenly matched to one side attacking and the other defending.

It was clear to everyone that Jiang Yao had the upper hand, but the giant cyan shield that Zhou Yuntian deployed in the last moment protected him steadfastly, preventing Jiang Yao from landing the killing blow.

"Could this be a 'Dao Talisman' left by a Rotating Pill Realm expert?!"

The Qingyun Sect Master and the seven elders speculated as they watched the cyan shield that could even block the colossal Ice Phoenix avatar.

Ye Chen, however, noticed the other talisman that had flown away into the sky and, piecing it together with Zhou Yuntian's desperate cries for "Master save me," a thought crossed his mind: "Could it be that Zhou Yuntian is seeking help from the Master of the Heavenly Net Sect?"

Zhou Yuntian was an elder of the Heavenly Net Sect, and the 'Master' he mentioned was likely the Sect Master of the Heavenly Net Sect.

If another person intervened, allowing the ruthless Zhou Yuntian to escape, that would spell trouble!

The thought of this possibility could no longer be endured by Ye Chen.

As Jiang Yao gritted her teeth in the sky and the colossal Ice Phoenix avatar surged in size, charging once more at Zhou Yuntian's giant cyan shield, unnoticed by all, Ye Chen also made his move.

A burst of crimson light flashed suddenly from the Sword Palace Acupoint between his eyebrows. An incredibly fast sword-shaped seed shot out from his forehead.

This tiny sword-shaped seed instantly became a palm-sized crimson flying sword, piercing through the air and directly aiming for Zhou Yuntian's back.

Zhou Yuntian, who was maneuvering the giant cyan shield to fend off Jiang Yao's attack, suddenly sensed another breath of death closing in on him, causing every pore and acupoint in his body to tremble in shock.

Then, as he turned his head, he saw an extremely bright crimson flying sword penetrating his skull.

Boom!

In an instant, the flying sword emerged from the other side of Zhou Yuntian's head, then with a shake, the bloodstains on the sword were flung off. The flying sword turned and flew back to Ye Chen, shrinking rapidly before re-entering the Sword Palace Acupoint between his eyebrows.

The once arrogant Zhou Yuntian, in the moment the flying sword returned, his eyes wide with shock, plummeted from the sky.

Thump!

With a loud crash, Zhou Yuntian slammed into the ground, dead beyond any doubt!

As he fell to the ground, the hundred-zhang large cyan shield, still defending against Jiang Yao's attacks, lost its light and reverted to a cyan Dao Talisman, floating gently down from the sky.

Such a turn of events caught everyone by surprise, including Jiang Yao who was engaged in combat with Zhou Yuntian.

"Is Zhou Yuntian... dead?"

The Qingyun Sect Master and the seven elders, witnessing Zhou Yuntian's body on the ground and his eyes that would not close in death, finally realized that the mighty Zhou Yuntian, who even claimed he would kill Ye Chen's entire family, had truly died!

"That sword light?"

They also took note of the flying sword light that killed Zhou Yuntian in the end. When they saw the flying sword light finally enter Ye Chen's brow, a shiver ran down their spines.

Clearly, it was Ye Chen who took advantage of Zhou Yuntian's desperate struggle against Jiang Yao's ferocious attacks to seize the opportunity to kill Zhou Yuntian!

Ye Chen had yet another hidden move that he had not yet revealed until this final moment!

The sword shadow that instantly killed Zhou Yuntian made even them break out in a cold sweat.

They still could not comprehend the technique Ye Chen had used. The Ye Chen they could not understand now possessed a more powerful method than just "Sword Intents" and that "Silver Sword Rain"!
