The world-ending wind dissipated.
As if uttering a decree, he spoke the word "death."
Instantly, a black, gleaming character for "death" shot forth from his mouth.
The three demons were astonished, sensing the power of death contained within the character. They dared not delay, and swiftly fled outwards.
The death character moved with extreme speed. Just as they reached the outside, it descended upon their heads.
The three demons cried out, "Not good, this is a character condensed from the law of death! Quickly, defend!"
Boom!
The death character struck, shattering all defenses.
The three demons exclaimed in terror, "Our lives are forfeit!"
Just as they believed they were about to be killed, a figure suddenly appeared before them.
They looked closely, their faces filled with shock.
Their master, Ming Kun, had shielded them with his own body.
"Master..."
The three demons were deeply moved, tears streaming down their faces.
"To think our master cares for us so much! We cannot disappoint him!" they thought to themselves.
Just as they prepared to counter-attack, Ming Kun's voice echoed in their ears.
"Retreat!"
The voice was chillingly cold, like the deepest winter, sending shivers down their spines.
Instantly, the nascent感动 dissipated significantly.
"Are you not retreating?"
Above Ming Kun's head, a jade pendant, a Daluo-grade magical treasure, blocked Gui Fang Di's attack.
Seeing this, the three demons did not dare to linger and quickly retreated a hundred meters away.
However, they remained vigilant, ready to assist at any moment.
Gui Fang Di looked astonished, his gaze fixed on the jade pendant hovering above Ming Kun. He fell into reminiscence.
Among those who had besieged him back then was the owner of this very jade pendant.
"Who are you to the Underworld Lord?" he asked, his face darkening.
Ming Kun did not conceal the truth. "He is my father!"
Upon hearing this, Gui Fang Di erupted in fury.
"Back then, he, the Underworld Lord, also participated in that battle. Today, son shall pay the father's debt!"
With that, he charged forward, determined to kill Ming Kun.
Protected by the Daluo-grade magical treasure, Gui Fang Di found himself unable to harm Ming Kun.
"Gui Fang Di, your era has ended!" Ming Kun declared loudly.
Gui Fang Di's face contorted with rage. "Brat, I will shatter your turtle shell eventually!"
He, the dignified Gui Fang Di, a Daluo Immortal Venerable of the past, how could he be hindered by an unknown junior?
He attacked relentlessly, blow after blow.
The rumbling sounds echoed incessantly.
Suddenly.
Gui Fang Di produced a broken saber.
"You have angered me. Today, I shall slay you with this Gui Fang Saber!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the three demons became anxious.
Ming Kun might not know the fame of the Gui Fang Saber, but they were well aware of it.
"Master, please be extremely careful! The Gui Fang Saber is a Daluo Immortal artifact! It broke into two pieces during that battle, and though damaged, it still retains a trace of Daluo's might!"
"Master, quickly retreat! Let us evade his sharp edge for now!"
"Even a damaged Daluo Immortal artifact can wield immense power in Gui Fang Di's hands, while the jade pendant is not your treasure and cannot unleash its full potential. You may not be able to withstand it!"
They were desperately worried.
They were true demons sealed within a divine ability. If Ming Kun died, they too would perish.
Ming Kun snorted, "Retreat!"
The three demons immediately halted their advance. They knew Ming Kun's character: extremely cold and unyielding. Being by his side felt like walking on thin ice.
"Brat, your father participated in that battle. Today, son shall pay the father's debt. Die!"
He raised the broken saber, wisps of ghostly energy appearing, and slashed down with a thunderous roar, directly at Ming Kun.
Ming Kun snorted, but he retracted the jade pendant.
With a soft hum, the protective shield of the jade pendant above his head vanished, revealing his form.
This action stunned the three demons, and it also surprised Gui Fang Di.
Boom!
The saber descended, about to strike Ming Kun.
Ming Kun let out a cold laugh. "Hmph!"
Gui Fang Di felt a sense of foreboding, but his attack had already been unleashed, and he could not withdraw it.
"Who dares to harm my son?"
A majestic voice boomed from behind Ming Kun.
Hearing this familiar voice, Gui Fang Di's expression drastically changed.
He gritted his teeth, raised the great saber, and swung it down forcefully. Then, abandoning the Gui Fang Saber, he fled into the distance.
A powerful figure materialized behind Ming Kun, stepping forth and gazing ahead.
The Underworld Lord sneered, "Hmph. Back then, you escaping with a wisp of your remnant soul was a deliberate act of benevolence on our part. Do you truly believe you could have revived otherwise?"
"We spared you then, but now you seek to kill my son. You shall not be spared."
The spectral form of Ming Kun raised its hand, and the sky darkened.
Black chains emerged from the clouds, coiling towards Gui Fang Di.
Gui Fang Di felt the immense power, rage surging within him, but his heart was filled with infinite terror.
"No, no, no! I don't want to die!"
He had barely recovered a sliver of his strength, and he did not wish to perish.
Alas, facing the embodiment of the Underworld Lord's power, he was utterly powerless.
With a slight movement of his hand, the Underworld Lord's avatar sent down chains from the sky, which, with irresistible force, instantly bound Gui Fang Di tightly.
Ming Kun watched in slight shock.
Gui Fang Di's power was comparable to a half-step Daluo, yet in the hands of the Underworld Lord's avatar, he was defeated in a single move.
Seeing Gui Fang Di trapped, Ming Kun walked forward.
"Father, please allow me to slay him with my own hands!"
"Agreed!"
Ming Kun walked over and picked up the broken Gui Fang Saber.
"Die!"
Boom!
A green saber energy descended, striking Gui Fang Di's neck.
Gui Fang Di, stripped of all resistance, could only watch as his head was severed.
The Gui Fang Saber, truly a former Daluo Immortal artifact, utterly annihilated Gui Fang Di's remnant soul with a single strike.
With Gui Fang Di's demise, his aura on the Gui Fang Saber completely dissipated, allowing Ming Kun to refine it with confidence.
Although this saber was damaged, it was still far more powerful than a Golden Immortal artifact.
From this day forth, it would be his saber. If he could find the other half, perhaps the Gui Fang Saber's former might could be restored.
However, refiners capable of forging Daluo Immortal artifacts were exceedingly rare.
As far as he knew, there were no Daluo-grade artifact refiners in the entire Underworld.
Therefore, damaged Daluo Immortal artifacts were simply lost forever.
Ming Kun's eyes flickered as he recalled his main body's past intention to learn artifact refining.
Lin Yu also noticed this, and he decided that upon his return, he would immediately begin studying artifact refining.
He now possessed 2.5 billion clones. Even for extremely difficult refining techniques, he was confident he could forge Golden Immortal artifacts in a relatively short time.
However, Daluo Immortal artifacts, being of a higher tier, would be beyond his ability to forge until his own power level reached Daluo.
Being able to forge Golden Immortal artifacts would already be a great achievement.
Thinking this, he eagerly anticipated returning.
