In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yan's punch had reached its end. Then, everyone heard an earth-shattering sound. The sound did not come from the outside, but from everyone's hearts.
Looking at the battlefield again, it was as if nothing had happened. Ju Rong still maintained his original expression. He raised his golden hammer high, and a murderous aura filled the sky.
However, the expressions of the onlookers were strange. They felt as if something was different, but they couldn't pinpoint what it was.
A moment later, a scene that shocked everyone appeared. Cracks appeared on the surface of Ju Rong's body. First, it started from his face, and then it gradually spread outwards. Very quickly, it covered his entire body. In the end, his entire body shattered like glass, and it turned into specks of light before disappearing.
Zhang Yan's expression was indifferent as he slowly withdrew his hand. With that strike just now, he had already killed all of Ju Rong's possibilities and severed all of Ju Rong's futures. So, the moment he swung his fist, Ju Rong was destined to die.
However, Ju Rong's cultivation was still there. He had also expended a lot of Divine Will in order to defeat his opponent with one blow.
If there had been a mistake in the process, or if one of Ju Rong's future shadows had escaped, it would mean that he still had a chance of survival and could not be completely killed. Not to mention that all of his previous efforts would have been wasted, but he would have wasted a lot of vitality.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, all of this happened in an instant. They only watched as Zhang Yan punched, and Ju Rong collapsed and died. The scene was extremely shocking.
No one had thought that the battle would end so quickly. It should be known that in a battle between two Mortal Metamorphosis cultivators, even if one side had a great advantage, the outcome could not be determined in a short period of time. It would almost take a dozen or even dozens of years until one side exhausted all of their vitality and died. However, Ju Rong was killed by a punch in front of them. It simply overturned everyone's understanding of the past.
At this moment, at the place where Ju Rong disappeared, a hole suddenly appeared. It pulled everything in its surroundings in, and Just Now, it had disappeared.
Someone exclaimed, "A Mysterious Void Hole, this, this … Could it be that Ju Rong is really dead?"
Someone who did not believe it retorted, "How is that possible? Didn't Ju Rong still have the Flesh Possession Technique? Even if his physical body was destroyed here, he would be able to come back to life somewhere else. Moreover, Ju Rong still had the Root Fruit to avoid the calamity. Just Now, they had only exchanged one move. No matter how powerful this Zhang Shangzhen was, how could he know where Ju Rong was? How can you kill Ju Rong just like that? "
The previous person had nothing to say. Under normal circumstances, when a person like Ju Rong encountered a life and death crisis, the Root Fruit would automatically appear, allowing him to avoid the calamity. However, the Root Fruit had not appeared from the beginning to the end, so it was clear that he should not have died. However, the reality was that this person's soul had been destroyed, so it did not make sense.
At this moment, there were many people who were confused like him. However, they did not know that although Ju Rong did not use the Root Fruit when he appeared, it did not mean that the Shadows of the Future did not use it. Moreover, they did not use it once, but countless times, which allowed Zhang Yan to take the opportunity to find where Ju Rong was. However, the truly terrifying thing was that Ju Rong did not know all of this.
This was the power of the Divine Contract. Even if your future was completely taken away, your current body would not know. In the end, you could only obediently accept death, unless you cut off your past and future body, or if you were above it. Obviously, Ju Rong had not reached this realm.
Everyone in the field was discussing spiritually. However, those who had not reached this realm, and had not personally experienced it, could only make guesses, and it was difficult for them to truly understand the mystery. Perhaps those with great mediums who had cut off their past and future bodies would be able to sense the various changes here, but at this moment, other than the Xuan Yang Heaven Lord, who was nowhere to be found, there was no one with such cultivation.
At this moment, in an extremely quiet cave, a beautiful female Daoist was sitting cross-legged. In front of her, there was a jade altar about three feet tall, and on top of it was a piece of flesh. It was originally moving slowly like a living thing, but suddenly, the vitality on it seemed to be sucked out in an instant, and it turned into a greyish-white stone. After a few breaths, it turned into a pile of debris.
The female Daoist opened her eyes and looked at the piece of flesh. Her face was filled with shock and uncertainty. She performed a spell and instantly revealed a sorrowful and angry expression. She said, "My son has the 'Self as Heart Thread' that I gave him. If he is in danger, there will be an omen. How could he be killed?"
She gritted her teeth and turned into a gust of wind to leave, but halfway there, a layer of jade green barrier appeared out of nowhere in front of her, and she was forcefully blocked.
This female Daoist seemed to not give up, and she kept charging. The location of her cave was originally buried deep in the ground, and there were several mountains above it. However, her actions caused the mountains to shake, and the rumbling sound traveled for a thousand miles.
A clear light flashed, and a middle-aged cultivator in green with a slightly weathered face landed in front of the mountain. He said in a dialect to the people below, "Junior Sister, what are you doing? Are you trying to make Master angry again? "
The female Daoist saw his arrival, and she stopped what she was doing. She said sorrowfully, "Senior Brother, Just Now that my son is dead, I just want to go out and ask for an explanation."
The middle-aged cultivator looked at her, and after some calculations, he knew the reason. He sighed and said, "You don't want to ask for an explanation, but you want to go out and get revenge."
The female Daoist's face revealed a ferocious expression, and she said, "Yes, I want to go out and get revenge. I also want to ask Ju Yu how he took care of my Hai Er!"
The middle-aged cultivator sighed and said, "Back then, Master said that Ju Rong acted recklessly, and one day, he would meet with misfortune. Junior Sister didn't think much of it at that time, but unexpectedly, Master was right."
The female Daoist said with resentment, "I don't dare to blame Master, but if he didn't imprison me there, I would definitely discipline my son well, and I wouldn't let him go out and cause trouble."
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head. He knew his junior sister's temperament too well. If he let her go out, things would only get worse.
The female Daoist begged, "Senior Brother, can you help me find out who harmed my son?"
The middle-aged cultivator resolutely refused, "I won't do that, that will only harm you. Junior Sister, as long as you give up this demonic technique, Master will definitely let you out. By then, if there's anything, you can do it yourself."
The female Daoist snorted, took a few steps back, and looked over coldly. "Senior Brother, don't try to persuade me, I definitely won't give up this technique."
The middle-aged cultivator said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister, Master wants you to be calm, you better cultivate here." With that, he turned and was about to leave.
The female Daoist suddenly called out to him, "Senior Brother, wait." She took another step forward and took out a jade pendant, "Junior Sister can't get out, please give this to Ju Yu."
The middle-aged cultivator frowned and said, "Junior Sister, why do you have to do this?"
The female Daoist said coldly, "Senior Brother, are you going to help or not?"
The middle-aged cultivator was silent for a moment, and in the end, he said, "This is the last thing I can do for you."
The female Daoist bowed and said coldly, "Thank you, Senior Brother, I won't dare to trouble Senior Brother in the future."
The middle-aged cultivator sighed, and with a wave of his hand, he took the jade pendant, and it turned into clear air, drifting away without a trace.
Soon, a month passed. At this time, once the news of Ju Rong's death spread in the Yuhuan Heavens, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
Who was Ju Rong? Almost everyone in the Yuhuan Heavens knew about him. His battle prowess wasn't supreme, but with the backing behind him, he had always been unscrupulous, and few dared to provoke him. Unexpectedly, he was killed this time, and it was said that he died on the spot with a single punch, and his soul was destroyed. When people first heard about this, they thought it was a Heavenly Lord who did it, but later they learned that this person came from outside the Yuhuan Heavens, and was suspected to be a direct disciple of the Great Underworld Patriarch. Only such a person wouldn't be afraid of the person behind Ju Rong.
After this battle, many sects had already started to secretly pay attention to Zhang Yan, and they had placed him within the range that they could not afford to provoke. However, at the same time, there were also many people who had strange thoughts and sent him invitations.
In the Luo Mountain Monastery in Xuan Hong Heaven, Daoist Gong was also shocked when he heard the news. He was very clear about Ju Rong's divine abilities, and even he wasn't a match for him in a head-on fight, but Zhang Yan could kill him in one move, which meant that it wouldn't be difficult to take him down. But he thought that as long as he didn't leave Xuan Hong Heaven, he would be fine.
But he was a little angry that Ju Rong had leaked the information, but it had already happened, and there was no point in being upset. He could only think of a way to save Ju Rong.
Fortunately, it wasn't that he didn't consider the possibility of failure. After all, Zhang Yan came under the guidance of the Great Underworld Patriarch, how could he not have a trump card or two?
He sneered, "There are many people behind Ju Rong, especially Zhu Zhutian Heaven Lord Ju Yu. He's not a person who's easy to talk to. His son was killed, he can't just sit and watch. Even if Daoist Zhang can escape from him, he won't have time to come to Xuan Hong Heaven."
At this time, Zhang Yan and Daoist Tong Hai had already returned to Tanbo Small World. After he killed Ju Rong, Daoist Chi Chang no longer talked about the bet, and directly handed over his disciple.
Daoist Tonghai was overjoyed, but at the same time, he blamed himself. If he hadn't come to observe, perhaps Zhang Yan would have been able to avoid Ju Rong. With a worried expression, he said, "The person behind Ju Rong might come looking for trouble with Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist, be careful when you come down."
Zhang Yan lightly nodded his head. This was only natural. Before he acted, he had already made preparations in his heart. Although Ju Rong had the support of a supreme existence, he had offended even more people. This time around, if he killed this person, Zhang Yan's reputation would definitely spread out and he would be able to achieve his goal even faster. In any case, the pros of this matter outweighed the cons.
With his current realm, if there was danger, he would be able to sense it. If there was danger, he could avoid it in advance. Moreover, the place he was going to was Qinghua Heaven. As long as he obtained a "Demon Subjugation Edict" there, he wouldn't have to worry about external enemies for the time being.
The Green Jade Palace had decreed that if a force or cultivator had a "Demon Subjugation Edict", no one could do anything to them within the time limit set in the edict.
In the past, many cultivators who offended their enemies did the same, and Ju Rong was no exception. And Zhang Yan was originally prepared to make a name for himself. With this layer of protection, he could avoid a lot of trouble.
