Liu Xiangxiu's voice was fast and furious. When they heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue that made them dizzy. However, they immediately sneered. They had every reason to believe that this was Liu Xiangxiu's threat to force them to give up on their prey.
"Liu Xiangxiu, don't you think you're too shameless just to snatch the credit?" Xia Wanli laughed mockingly. "So what if you snatch it? Do you want His Highness, the second prince, to give you a grand prize?"
"He's just an independent cultivator, yet he managed to make a disciple of the Five Elements Court lose his composure. What a joke." Wang Yan laughed strangely.
Liu Xiangxiu was angry and anxious. Of course, he wasn't thinking about their lives. If he let Yan Li have his way, then the already determined situation would become confusing again. If the situation worsened and he entered the first ranking, then it would be very difficult to find another chance to get rid of him.
However, at this moment, Yu Qiuyu had made up his mind to block him, so he couldn't break through at the moment.
Could it be that he could only watch helplessly?
In his heart, he cursed the two idiots who didn't know the meaning of life and death.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he commanded the Celestial Crow to release a second ray of black light. However, its target wasn't Yan Li. It disappeared into the void, and no one knew his intentions.
"Hmph, I'm afraid his brain is fried." Xia Wanli made a conclusion in disdain. Then, he sneered and said, "It's a pity that you can only watch us make a move. But don't worry, we'll help you take revenge on him!"
"Yan Li, watch carefully!" He shouted excitedly. He had been brooding over the battle at the crown prince's birthday banquet, but the strength that the other party had displayed was like a mountain pressing down on his heart.
Now that his real name had suppressed the other party, he was overjoyed. He only wanted to prove his strength so that he could regain his place in Ji Wuyu's heart.
With a thought, the giant snake spat out an icy mist that contained raindrop-like icicles. The icicles smashed towards Yan Li.
Wang Yan didn't want to be left behind, so the Flying Tiger followed suit and attacked Yan Li from the other side. However, he was ultimately more cautious and mature than Xia Wanli. He didn't completely believe it, but he didn't completely disbelieve it either. Hence, he didn't use his full strength.
Although their real names did not have the ability to affect the real world, Yan Li did not take back his real name. In other words, his real name and real name could still affect each other.
It was mentioned in the preface that battles between true names of cultivators weren't any less dangerous than fighting with real blades and spears, sometimes even more so.
One had to know that once one's true name was destroyed, it would directly affect the cultivator's soul. Becoming a cripple was the lightest consequence, but it was more likely that one's soul would scatter.
If Yan Li's real name was really below the fourth rank, then even Tianqi wouldn't be able to save his life.
Unfortunately, that was not the case.
It is very difficult for us to determine the level of the curse, because the eight wills have never appeared together.
The only thing we know is that the curse alone is not something that a Fourth Rank Four Sage can compare to.
This was because when the three-headed, six-armed, black-faced, and fanged Dark Night Trident appeared above Yan Li's head, the deathly gray aura that didn't look very eye-catching suddenly exploded.
Perhaps this description was not accurate enough.
It was as if every inch of every inch of space within fifty steps of Yan Li, and the dust in the air suddenly erupted with a hysterical roar, as if countless madmen who had been repressed to the extreme had exploded in an instant.
The originally unremarkable Yan Li suddenly became ferocious.
The attacks that were aimed at Yan Li were instantly annihilated into nothingness.
Wang Yan and Xia Wanli were stunned for a moment. Then, their pupils shrank, and their hearts felt as if they were being strangled. Countless expressions of terror crawled up their faces.
The Flying Tiger shriveled up, retracted its wings, and shivered.
The giant snake coiled itself into a circle and didn't even dare to show its head.
"Run, stupid dog!"
Liu Xiangxiu's flustered and exasperated voice rang out in their ears.
The two of them seemed to have been startled awake from a nightmare. They let out strange cries and tried to take back their true names.
But it was already too late. Dark Night Trident only reached out with two hands and grabbed their true names.
"Yan Li, you don't dare to kill me …" Xia Wanli shouted madly. "If you kill me, His Second Highness will definitely not let you go, you …"
Yan Li's lips curved slightly as he interrupted him. "What a coincidence. I don't plan on letting him go either."
Countless black crows soared into the sky and then dove down. They flew toward the giant snake and devoured it in the blink of an eye. Not even the bones were left.
Xia Wanli's face instantly contorted as if there were earthworms crawling over it. His entire body convulsed and spasmed. His eyes rolled back into his head and he foamed at the mouth. "You … can't … kill … me …"
Once you had a certain level of understanding of true names, if other cultivators fell into your hands, they would die a terrible death.
Yan Li did not dare to say how deep his understanding of true names was. He had only seen his own true name a few times. However, his understanding of curses had already reached an extremely high level.
With a device that could drive a true name manifestation, it was simply too easy to control one of the wills.
"Yan … Li … I … won't let … you off … even if I … become a ghost …"
Xia Wanli's face contorted ferociously. His entire body convulsed and his bones shifted. He looked like an evil spirit that had just crawled out of hell. He no longer looked like a human.
"You'll only truly realize how terrifying I am after you become a ghost." Yan Li's expression did not change as he hooked his finger at Xia Wanli.
Dark Night Trident clenched his claws, and the giant snake was annihilated into powder. Xia Wanli immediately stopped convulsing. His head tilted to the side, and he died.
When Huang Shaoyu saw this, he could not help but be dumbfounded. "You, you … What the hell is this …"
"Yan Li, are you going to offend the Tianyi Sword Pavilion and the Divine Weapon Clan at the same time?" Wang Yan shouted sternly as he struggled to break free from Dark Night Trident's restraints.
On the surface, it looked like Dark Night Trident had captured the Flying Tiger, but in reality, it was a terrifying aura that had sealed his true name. He was completely controlled by the curse.
However, as mentioned earlier, Wang Yan was cautious and did not use his full strength. At this moment, under the threat of death and the control of fear, he made a prompt decision — to destroy his true name.
Enduring the immense pain, he screamed and severed his connection with his external true name. Although his true name would become incomplete after being severed, there was still room for cultivation. Furthermore, preserving his life was the most important thing.
Wang Yan's decisiveness allowed him to escape Dark Night Trident's fatal attack.
The Flying Tiger was annihilated, and Wang Yan spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body trembled non-stop, but he still forced a sinister smile. "You can't … kill me …"
