Monsoon is dead?
Looking at the pile of glaring severed limbs and flesh beneath Fang Chen, along with the thick smell of blood in the air, everyone remained in a daze as if in a dream.
As the Daozi of the Season Family this generation, with cultivation surpassing many Heavenly Genius, and having successfully practiced the Spirit Fusion Technique, gathering all the power of Ji Lei and the others into one, how could Monsoon just die like this?
"It’s impossible, the Daozi can’t just die like this, no way..."
Season Snow murmured to herself, her eyes fixed on the pile of flesh that no longer resembled a human form, as if she had lost her soul.
"Dead, dead..." Ji Yun kept repeating these two words, looking as if he had lost his mind.
Instead, it was Ji Lei, who appeared to be the most rugged and scheming among them, that after a brief moment of shock, slowly began to retreat towards Purple Sun Valley.
With all four Human Power combined, Monsoon had been completely slain by Fang Chen. Their own strength was already significantly inferior to Monsoon, and now due to the massive consumption of Qi Energy from using the Spirit Fusion Technique, what could they possibly use to fight against Fang Chen? There was not a glimmer of hope!
However, just as Ji Lei intended to quietly retreat without alarming anyone, two cold gazes suddenly fell upon him, causing his body to stiffen abruptly.
"Thinking of running?" Fang Chen said calmly, his tone revealing no hint of emotion.
With a stiff face, he forced out an extremely ugly smile. Looking at Fang Chen's indifferent expression and the glaring pool of fresh blood at his feet, the fear on Ji Lei's face intensified. He trembled as he began to stammer, "This was all... all done by Monsoon, it has nothing to do with me. Let me go... I didn’t see anything..."
Saying this, Ji Lei suddenly turned around and frantically fled towards Purple Sun Valley. This scene was remarkably similar to how Azure Vine had run away earlier.
But could he really escape?
Raising his head and watching Ji Lei's frantic escape, Fang Chen's calm face showed no extra expression. He simply took a step forward and began walking towards Ji Lei.
On one side was a frantic escape at full speed, while on the other was a leisurely stroll. The stark contrast between the two created a clear visual difference for everyone watching. Strangely enough, despite appearing to move at an ordinary pace, each step taken by Fang Chen rapidly closed the distance between him and Ji Lei. It seemed as if the ground beneath Fang Chen's feet was shrinking rapidly.
One step, two steps... When Fang Chen took the fourth step, he was already only a few meters away from Ji Lei.
"Stay," Fang Chen said calmly. The tranquility in his voice seemed to merely state a fact.
As soon as the words were spoken, Fang Chen raised his hand, and his fair palm pressed towards Ji Lei's figure from a distance. A gray-black tombstone quickly materialized in front of his palm, tearing through the air as it suppressed Ji Lei.
"Get lost!" Feeling the immense disturbance behind him, Ji Lei, who had been frantically fleeing, suddenly turned around. The silver-white longsword in his hand transformed once again into the Frenzied Blade, striking heavily at the tombstone.
Boom!
A tremendous force erupted from the Frenzied Blade, causing Ji Lei's body to tremble. A strange purplish hue suddenly appeared on his face. With that strike, he was severely injured after already exhausting much of his energy. However, despite this, a smile appeared on Ji Lei's face instead of fear; determination shone in his eyes as he prepared to use this explosive force to retreat once more.
But in the next moment, the smile on Ji Lei's face froze abruptly.
From the tombstone, which was about the size of a person, dark tendrils shot out like evil tentacles. The tendrils wrapped around Ji Lei, who was about to retreat, and began to pull him closer to the tombstone.
"No!" Ji Lei screamed in despair.
But that scream quickly faded away.
In the next instant.
Bang!
In mid-air, the tombstone that had devoured Ji Lei exploded completely, releasing a black wave of energy mixed with a piercing red hue.
Season Family Heavenly Pride—Ji Lei, has fallen!
Retrieving his gaze from mid-air, Fang Chen turned around and looked at Ji Yun and Season Snow in the distance, who had finally regained their composure from the shock of Monsoon's earlier demise. He then took another step forward towards them.
Without any earth-shattering momentum, Fang Chen walked forward in silence. However, within that silence was a heavy pressure, and the shadows of Monsoon and Ji Lei's deaths loomed over them like an invisible hand of death reaching out.
A scream suddenly erupted from Season Snow. Among the Four Sons of the Ji Family, she was the only female, comparable to a Heavenly Genius. In that moment, she was utterly terrified by Fang Chen, shattering her resolve.
Beside her, Ji Yun did not scream, but his face was filled with fear and horror, and the faint hint of madness in his eyes indicated that his state was no better than Season Snow's.
"Don't come near me! Don't come any closer!" Ji Yun, on the brink of collapse, stared fixedly at the approaching Fang Chen, trembling uncontrollably as his expression grew increasingly horrified.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure not far away.
Lian Yiyue!
A glimmer of hope surged in his despairing eyes. The face that had been covered in fear and terror now bore a fierce expression. Ji Yun moved suddenly, darting towards Lian Yiyue.
As long as I can grab her, I can survive!
Ji Yun thought to himself in a self-hypnotic manner. To him, Lian Yiyue, who currently had no ability to resist, appeared like the only lifeline to a drowning person.
However, in his frenzy, Ji Yun failed to notice that Lian Yiyue's pale face showed no fear at all; instead, it bore a faint smirk as she faced him.
A black-red orb spun rapidly before Lian Yiyue.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a pitch-black beam shot out from the black-red orb.
Ji Yun's rushing figure froze at the moment the dark beam appeared.
"He... He..." He opened his mouth to say something but could only emit a strange sound. Blood began to flow rapidly from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Lowering his head with difficulty, Ji Yun looked at the glaring blood hole that had appeared in his chest. A grim smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a shade of ashen gray suddenly surfaced in his dark eyes. In that moment, his entire aura rapidly dissipated.
Thud.
Ji Yun's lifeless body fell weakly to the ground, and streams of fresh blood spread out from beneath him.
Another Heavenly Pride of the Season Family—Ji Yun—has fallen!
In the crowd, those who witnessed Monsoon, Ji Lei, and Ji Yun fall one by one were increasingly shocked, to the point of numbness. However, this numbness transformed into deep reverence when they saw Fang Chen's tall and upright figure.
Even some warriors who had previously harbored thoughts about Lian Yiyue due to those two spots now showed signs of fear in their gazes, clearly shaken by Fang Chen's cold and bloody methods, afraid of retribution later on.
“No! This is impossible! This is all an illusion! It's all fake!!!” A sharp scream pulled everyone's attention back.
Season Snow, the only remaining Heavenly Pride of the Season Family, stared blankly at the bodies of Monsoon, Ji Lei, and Ji Yun. After a brief silence, the madness in her eyes grew more intense.
“Tell me, you have to tell me… this is all fake! You have to tell me!” Season Snow screamed at the crowd.
Her once beautiful face was now twisted with madness. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a madwoman, completely devoid of any grace befitting a Heavenly Pride of the Season Family.
Watching the crazed Season Snow, Fang Chen's gaze remained calm and unperturbed, with a hint of coldness. He knew very well that if it weren't for his overwhelming strength that could suppress Monsoon and the others, he and Lian Yiyue would have been the ones to suffer this tragic fate.
“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for doing what you shouldn't have done,” Fang Chen said lightly. As he spoke, he raised his hand, and severe Qi Energy surged from his fingertips, instantly piercing through Season Snow's body, causing her frenzied screams to abruptly halt.
Bright red blood splattered once again. As she felt her life force rapidly draining away, Season Snow's previously mad expression suddenly calmed down. She struggled to turn her head and looked at Fang Chen not far away; a glimmer of relief flashed in her quickly dimming eyes.
The air was thick with the smell of blood, while around the crowd, an eerie silence descended for a moment.
“They're all dead,” someone in the crowd suddenly sighed.
If it weren't for witnessing it with their own eyes, who could have imagined that just half an hour ago, the four members of Monsoon, who were so imposing and disdainful, would have fallen like this?
"Now, it's your turn," Fang Chen said softly, his gaze lingering on the direction where Azure Vine had escaped.
His whisper was not deliberately concealed; although it was light, everyone present was no ordinary person and naturally heard it clearly.
It was precisely because they understood that their already somewhat numb hearts began to tremble violently again. Remembering how Azure Vine had inexplicably escaped from Fang Chen earlier, combined with Fang Chen's current whisper, disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.
An utterly unfathomable thought surged uncontrollably in their minds.
He deliberately let Azure Vine go just to deal with Song Donglai?!
With a swish, all eyes turned to Fang Chen, watching the cold light flickering in his pitch-black eyes, causing many hearts to shudder.
A storm is coming!
