--- Chapter 139 ---

Splurts!

Cough!

Ling Kun staggered on the spot, spewing a mouthful of blood to the ground. A gaping hole appeared on his stomach, getting pierced by a spear made of cyan light. 

On top of that, an intense lightning coating prevents Ling Kun from covering his organs with profound energy to get further damage. 

All this happens within a split of a second. 

"H-How?" He turned around in horror. 

Ling Kun tried to suppress his injury, "I'm sure the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation is still on, so how could you attack me with the strength above Emperor Profound Realm??"

Yun Canghai's face plastered with a foolish grin as he chuckled, "A mere 7th Level of Tyrant Profound Realm dare to call this great Demon King an ant? Buahahaha, do you really think the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation is invincible?" 

"Fool, what an utter fool! I've gotten trapped in this hell hole for many years now. I'm bound to know a trick or two..." 

Yun Canghai grabbed one of the chains tied to his left arm and broke it apart with a thunderous boom. White light illuminated the altar, and the chains shattered. 

BOOOM!

Ling Kun's eyes widened in fear. If the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation still affected Yun Canghai, Ling Kun wouldn't be afraid. 

However, the only means to suppress Yun Canghai is gone after he shatters those chains forged with a meteorite.

"Everyone, run!" Ling Kun screamed at the top of his lungs. 

Well, it was too late.

"Hahaha~! This granddaddy is back!" Yun Canghai's laughter permeated the Sword Management Terrace. His monarch's aura swept over everyone, preventing them from escaping.

Yun Canghai jumped off the altar and walked to Ling Kun leisurely, grinning from ear to ear. 

He placed his hand on Ling Kun's face and said, "I've been waiting for this, you fucker..." 

BAM!

"AAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHH!" A blood-curdling scream filled everyone's ears with terror. 

Yun Canghai broke Ling Kun's lower jaws and smacked his face against the ground, razzing it like a towel. 

After that, Yun Canghai infused Ling Kun's body with intense lightning and stimulated his nerves. It caused Ling Kun to jerk like a fish out of water, experiencing otherworldly pain. 

"Say goodbye to your spine, haha!" Yun Canghai lifted Ling Kun like a ragdoll that he was and dragged him down to his knees. 

Crack!

The sound of bone breaking sent shivers down everyone's spine. 

The youths couldn't even blink on time, wanting to puke from this sight and sound. Their faces are as pale as paper.

Even for the elders, who have experienced the world's cruelty, watching Yun Canghai's ravenous act was too much.

And so, Yun Canghai tortured Ling Kun for five minutes.

Yun Canghai felt every inch of his body become lighter as if some burden 'gradually' lifted off his shoulders, but he knew that Ling Kun was just the beginning of his revenge.

To avenge the Demon Emperor.

To avenge the Little Demon Emperor.

And to avenge his brothers.

He sighed in momentary relief and looked down at the broken and dying Ling Kun. 

Yun Canghai didn't realize this, but his hatred caused his torture of Ling Kun to be the most painful way. He literally enhanced Ling Kun's sensory nerves, overriding them with slow but constant impulse lightning so Ling Kun would experience hell!

'I've shattered every bone that can get broken. Fried every nerve that won't end this trash's life immediately. And finally, I destroyed every muscle tissue with my lightning.' Yun Canghai grumbled to himself.

What a fragile punching bag. 

Then, again. 

Ling Kun is only at the 7th Level of Tyrant Profound Realm.

"Well, let's send you off with a blast." Yun Canghai said, sending a pulse to Ling Kun's body. 

Ling Kun's body started to wrap around itself. His flesh and bones twisted, turning into a pulsating fleshy ball. 

It wasn't a pleasant sight. 

Yun Canghai stared at the trembling eyes of Ling Kun and said, "Go to hell, bitch." 

BOOOOOOOOOM!! Splats!

Ling Kun exploded, splattering bodily matter on the Sword Management Terrace. 

The youths in the area couldn't handle it anymore. They throw up and release groaning sounds.

Meanwhile, the elderly are no better either. They felt like Yun Canghai was going after them soon. 

And just like that, a hero stepped out. 

Yun Canhai rolled his eyes inwardly but still played his part. 

"Oh, someone dares to move in this Demon King's presence?" He said in surprise. "Brat, state your name." 

Yu Long maintained a calm face and responded, "Yu Long." 

"Hmm, I can't see your cultivation." Yun Canghai commented honestly. He didn't lie about this matter.

"I hear that often." Yu Long responded with a shrug. 

Yun Canghai knew his time was short, so he would create as much chaos as possible while fighting Yu Long. Ling Kun's death should have sent an intense alarm to the Mighty Heaven Sword Region.

Today, this place will be razzed flat!

"Hoho, then let me see how strong you are!" Yun Canghai flashed with a bolt of lightning. He arrived near Yu Long and thrust his lightning sword at him.

"Noooo!" The young ladies of Frozen Cloud Asgard screamed. 

Clank!

Yu Long slowly lifted his right hand and waved down, creating a wave of violet light. It defended him from Yun Canghai's sword but failed to prevent him from flying away.

BAM!

Yun Canghai narrowed his eyes, 'As expected, this kid... He's a monster of his own.' 

At first, Yun Canghai suspected Yu Long was more a monster than Muzen, the Scorpion-tailed Demon King, but now he confirmed it. 

'From the way, this kid manipulated his profound way and overall body movement, he could easily counter me.' 

'But he didn't, allowing us to take this fight somewhere...'

Yun Canghai and Yu Long stepped into the air, exchanging blows and breaking one building after another. They completely razed a peak, turning it into a flat land.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The sound of thunder echoed in the area.

But a moment later, a burning sound followed.

After exchanging more than a thousand moves and destroying fifteen peaks, they finally retreated and stood between a grayish river. 

"Not bad." Yun Canghai felt his whole body numb. 

When he exchanged blows with Yu Long, it felt like he was assaulting a sturdy metal plate. No, even a sturdy metal plate isn't this resilient.

Yu Long brushed the dust off his clothes and responded casually, "Your profound art is not bad either. To mimic not only aspects of lighting and thunder but also incorporating several characteristics into movements." 

"Your Yun Family's origin is not so simple." 

"Hmph, you finally knew." Yun Canghai proudly lifted his nose. 

"I'm praising your ancestors, not you." Yu Long added while squinting his eyes. "Compared to them, you're pathetic." 

Yun Canghai flared and angrily shouted, "Fuck it, this Demon King will beat you up for real this time!" 

"Try me." Yu Long fearlessly returned. 

They kept destroying the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and killed a handful of unimportant people along the way, making Yun Canghai's image as the Demon King more prominent. 

As Yu Long t heroically fought against the Demon King for the Heavenly Sword Villa, his deed spread quickly. After all, the fight is intense and fast-paced.

After destroying a peak, Yun Canghai and Yu Long would move to another peak and cause more chaos. They left some peaks intact, and people won't get any ideas about this collaboration.

Still, one might wonder, just what's their goal? 

Remember that the root of Heavenly Sword Villa is that of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. 

Yu Long wanted to see how the Four Great Sacred Grounds reacted to the news of Yun Canghai's escapade from the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation. 

Of course, Yu Long also wanted to solidify his image after leaving for nearly four years from the public. It made the Four Great Sacred Grounds wary of his existence, but they couldn't do anything to tarnish his image, as he was the one who fended the Demon King.

'This is the last peak, also the biggest one...' Yun Canghai commented in anticipation.

'Yeah. Prepare your big attack because we will do our final exchange here.' Yu Long replied casually. 

So what if the Heavenly Sword Villa is getting destroyed? It's not Yu Long's problem. 

BOOM!

Yun Canghai landed on a cracked concrete. He wiped blood from his mouth and laughed, "Not bad, kid. Not many people could injure this Demon King." 

"But I have enough. I will kill you this time." He said with a feral grin. 

Yu Long lifted his fists and responded, "Come, I'm not afraid of your attack."

[Purple Cloud Art - Thunderclouds Cyclone]

[Art of Violet Mist - Changing Nature's Laws]

Yun Canhai extended his hand, summoning vast thunderclouds above the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region. He pointed his finger coated with flickering white and blue lightning and said, "Charge!" 

A white dragon appeared and descended from the sky. The sheer size alone could swallow five small peaks. 

Yu Long used his finger like it was a sword. He stabbed the air and rapidly increased the temperature, slashing the incoming white lightning dragon.

KAABOOOOOOM!!

An extreme shockwave brushed the peak and destroyed everything it had met.

Yun Canghai floated in the sky and grabbed his bleeding right arm. 

"Kid, did you say your name is Yu Long?" He said with a solemn tone.

"Yes." Yu Long wiped fake blood from the corner of his mouth. 

Yun Canghai grinned, "This Demon King will remember your name!" 

"For now, I will retreat." 

"But remember! I, Yun Canghai, the Demon King of Illusory Demon Realm, have finally returned!" 

"Just you wait. I will flatten the Four Great Sacred Grounds to avenge my lord and brothers!" After saying that, Yun Canghai disappeared with a flash of lightning. 

"Haha... Hahaha~!" His laughter echoed miles away.

Yu Long stood amidst the chaotic environment and mumbled, "Next, the Heaven Basin Secret Realm."

Not long after, several profound arks arrived at the destroyed Heavenly Sword Villa.

"Where is he?"

"Where is the Demon??"

Yu Long glanced at the source of the voice and replied, "After exchanging moves with me and being injured in return... He ran away." 

"What?" The people in the Profound Arks were shocked.

"But how could that be possible?" 

Yu Long shrugged, "I tried my best." 

One elder landed near Yu Long and asked, "Who are you?" 

Yu Long gazed at the elder and answered, "Me? My name is Yu Long." 

"Yu Long from the Lost Heaven Sect."
