Chapter 462: Complete Destruction of the Yanluo Lords

Blue Lantern, and Ye Dafu's crew waited anxiously within a forest. Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

"His Majesty will be alright, won't he?" one of Ye Dafu's lackeys murmured.

"Don't jinx it! How can any harm befall His Majesty?" Ye Dafu hissed.

Everyone quieted down, but they continued to give each other anxious glances out of worry.

"There's no need to worry. His Majesty is more than sufficiently strong to handle this dilemma. Don't you remember what he told us before he left?" Blue Lantern asked.

"That we're to listen to you?" Ye Dafu replied.

Blue Lantern nodded. "The battlefield can be disrupted instantly at any moment. I hope you'll remember His Majesty's command."

"What do you mean? His Majesty will return within moments and will command us himself. Do you expect us to listen to you over His Majesty?" Ye Dafu demanded.

"I do. Regardless of what happens later, you must obey me," Blue Lantern warned.

Everyone gave Blue Lantern a disbelieving look, not knowing what to make of the situation. Upon seeing Blue Lantern's serious expression, however, Ye Dafu seemed to react. He didn't say anything; he looked up into the air as Blue Lantern gave him the slightest of nods.

Ye Dafu understood what was going on in an instant. "Of course. I understand. We'll listen to your commands."

"Very well." Blue Lantern nodded.

Ye Dafu's lackeys glanced curiously between Ye Dafu himself and Blue Lantern. Considering how serious Ye Dafu was, they knew that something had to be amiss, and treated this situation with proper gravitas as well.

"His Majesty's here. Quick, get to your positions. Stabilize the formation!" Blue Lantern called out.

"Understood!" The cultivators split up across the forest.

Meanwhile, the golden arhat shot toward the forest, swiftly followed by the Tiger Yanluo.

The Tiger Yanluo drew closer and closer to the forest. He smirked. "Xiao Nanfeng, you won't be able to escape now."

He smashed a fist into the golden arhat's back, knocking it into the ground in a cloud of dust. The arhat armor cracked and looked as though it would shatter at any moment.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Nanfeng clambered out of the pit and continued to run.

"Do you really think you can escape?" The Tiger Yanluo sneered at Xiao Nanfeng.

He sped up once again, overtaking the golden arhat in an instant and slamming his palm down on the golden arhat's neck, as though trying to decapitate Xiao Nanfeng.

"Die!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

The golden arhat exploded in a blazing fireball that encapsulated the Tiger Yanluo.

"Do you think you can hurt me with an explosion of this magnitude? What a fool you are!" The Tiger Yanluo laughed uproariously.

He dispelled the flames with a wave of his hand and was about to pounce toward the Divine Seal of Dazheng right by his side when he suddenly halted. He found himself trapped by another spherical barrier.

"This formation of natural law again? Were the blinding flames from the explosion of the arhat armor just to hide the nascent starlight? Xiao Nanfeng, you were scheming against me all along!" the Tiger Yanluo thundered.

By then, Xiao Nanfeng had emerged from the nearby Divine Seal of Dazheng, a crystal star map in his hands.

"Damn you, Xiao Nanfeng! You won't be able to trap me like this. Each Heaven's Hand takes quite a while to regenerate after being destroyed. I have more than enough time to destroy this barrier. Now, break!"

The Tiger Yanluo struck the starlit barrier again, leaving cracks spiderwebbing through its surface. Suddenly, however, as though sensing a great crisis, he lifted his head.

"Impossible. How could Heaven's Hand have regenerated so quickly?!"

A second Heaven's Hand had appeared and was heading straight for the Tiger Yanluo, not giving him any time to relax.

"Impossible. How could this be? Xiao Nanfeng, what have you done?!"

At that moment, Xiao Nanfeng was manipulating his crystal star map as quickly as he could, summoning all the clouds of annihilation from the vicinity.

There wouldn't be much downtime between strikes from the Heaven's Hands, because there were plenty of them in the sky waiting to be deployed on Xiao Nanfeng's command.

"Break!" the Tiger Yanluo roared.

The Tiger Yanluo's barrage of attacks caused the second Heaven's Hand to shatter, then explode. Another flaming tempest filled the forest.

The Tiger Yanluo's body was sleek with blood. He panted—then suddenly looked up, sensing yet more crises to come.

A third Heaven's Hand attacked without any hesitation. Behind that Heaven's Hand, a whole flock of them lay in wait.

"No!" the Tiger Yanluo howled.

The third Heaven's Hand clenched around the Tiger Yanluo, crackling with lightning. The Tiger Yanluo, heavily wounded, barely managed to destroy the third Hand.

After the explosion, he was stumbling on his feet. All he wanted to do now was flee,

but the starlit barrier around him prevented him from doing so. He had only temporarily been able to break free even at full power; now, he was drained.

More importantly, the starlit barrier possessed the mysterious ability of being permeable to external forces; it only stopped the Tiger Yanluo escaping from within. Even the Heaven's Hands outside could pass straight through the barrier without any resistance.

"Damn this barrier! Break!" the Tiger Yanluo cried out in fear.

A fourth Heaven's Hand clenched around him. Bolts of lightning struck him from all over as he felt death descend.

"Let me go, Xiao Nanfeng! I can help you take on the Peach Buddha. I'll let bygones be bygones. Let me out!"

"Tiger Yanluo, you brought this on yourself. It's time for you to leave this world."

"No!" The Tiger Yanluo attacked the Heaven's Hand furiously,

but he was simply too weak to do anything. The Heaven's Hands took turns attacking him, and it took him longer and longer to take them down as his injuries worsened.

By the time the sixth Heaven's Hand exploded, he was numb and paralyzed, without any remaining combat power whatsoever.

A seventh Heaven's Hand caught him in its grip.

"No. I won't die like this!" the Tiger Yanluo howled in despair a final time.

His voice slowly vanished without a trace. Against a whole flock of Heaven's Hands, he couldn't escape. His life was draining from him by the second.

In a nearby forest, the Peach Buddha was watching the scene unfold in shock. "How can Xiao Nanfeng be controlling these Heaven's Hands? How can this be?"
