Lei Tianyu watched his uncle's distant figure with growing anxiety. He knew he was in deep trouble.
He could only hope that his uncle would handle it well!
But for now, there was nothing he could do to help.
He decided to first deal with the Azure Bull he had painstakingly obtained after a year of scheming and planning, and devour its lightning essence.
A murderous aura enveloped him, his gaze turning fierce as he fixed his eyes on Kou Chang.
It was as if he wanted to vent all the anger caused by Gan Yue's tracking on Kou Chang.
Kou Chang felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss, a cold dread piercing through her soul. She hurriedly pleaded.
"Tianyu, don't kill me. You just said you wanted to marry me."
Lei Tianyu's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you right now. After a year of losing my dignity to please you, I won't let you die easily. I want you to experience the feeling of being toyed with and treated like a dog."
As he spoke, Lei Tianyu acted decisively, like a tiger descending a mountain. Before Kou Chang could react, he struck her dantian with a palm.
A vast amount of spiritual power surged into her dantian, crushing the spiritual energy circulating within her dantian and throughout her body. Her internal spiritual energy dissipated and became chaotic in an instant, rendering her unable to use any spiritual power for a short time.
Kou Chang's breath weakened immediately, and she collapsed on the deck. The immense force had injured her internal organs, nearly paralyzing her.
Her face was filled with despair. She was now at the mercy of others.
She turned her gaze toward the Azure Bull at the ship's tail, hoping it would complete its advancement and awaken soon, giving her a slim chance of escape.
Lei Tianyu controlled the flying ship, holding Kou Chang in one hand and using spiritual power to drag Azure Bull with the other, jumping into the lake.
Moments later, they entered an underwater cave.
He threw Kou Chang aside and placed Azure Bull on the altar.
He then took out a silver chain from his storage ring and tightly bound Azure Bull to the altar.
Last time, when he devoured Sun Ru, his strength was too weak to subdue easily, but Azure Bull was a genuine second-tier spirit beast with a trace of divine beast Kui Niu's bloodline. It could not be taken lightly.
At the same time, he spoke to Kou Chang.
"I should thank you, you greedy and foolish woman, for putting Azure Bull into the advancement dormancy state. Otherwise, I would have had to put in a lot of effort to subdue it."
Lei Tianyu had worried about any unforeseen incidents and had specially asked his uncle Lei Hong to help subdue Azure Bull.
But he didn't expect that Azure Bull wouldn't need subduing but would instead lead to the discovery of Gan Yue as a follower.
"Lei Tianyu, what exactly are you planning to do?" Kou Chang asked in despair.
"Planning to do?"
Lei Tianyu, while preparing to devour Azure Bull's lightning essence, said:
"Do you think that our Lei family, with a legacy of thousands of years, really produces extraordinary talents in lightning methods in every generation as the rumors say?"
"Lightning talent is inherently rare. Exceptional lightning talent is even rarer. How could our Lei family have such talents in every generation?"
"Our family relies on this altar in front of you. This altar is mysterious and unfathomable, with the power to steal the lightning essence from both humans and beasts for us to devour."
"As long as one has lightning talent, regardless of its strength, they can use this altar to continuously devour the lightning essence of others and become a lightning genius."
"For this past year, I've gone to great lengths to please you. Do you really think I was enchanted by your beauty? I was merely coveting the lightning essence and Kui Niu's bloodline in Azure Bull."
"Divine beast bloodline spirit beasts are already rare, and those with lightning divine beast bloodlines are even more so. To have encountered one is truly a blessing from heaven!"
"Do you know how excited I was when I first saw Azure Bull?"
"Once I devour Azure Bull's lightning essence, I will be able to cultivate the strongest lightning methods in the cultivation world."
Knowing the gravity of the situation, Kou Chang's face turned even more ashen.
With such significant secrets exposed, it was clear that Lei Tianyu had no intention of letting her leave alive.
Only dead people, whose souls are scattered, can keep such secrets better.
At this moment, Kou Chang was filled with immense regret, regretting her greed for spirit stones and various spirit items, her desire for the false fame of the Beast Cultivation Sect's most beautiful woman, and the flattering words of others.
If she had followed her master's teachings, cleared her mind, and focused on cultivation, she wouldn't have attracted such trouble or given Lei Tianyu, with his wolfish ambitions, an opportunity.
But Now It's Too Late.
At this moment, Kou Chang's heart was as cold as ashes.
...
Lei Tianyu used mid-grade spirit stones and his own blood to activate the formation.
Though he looked pale from blood loss, his heart was filled with excitement.
After a year of plotting, the day had finally come to reap the rewards.
Suddenly, he sensed that the communication jade slip from his uncle in his storage ring had moved.
Upon checking the jade slip, Lei Tianyu learned that his uncle had arrived outside the cave.
He took out the disk to open the cave and cast a spell. The cave entrance suddenly appeared.
Lei Hong walked in, carrying Gan Yue's corpse.
Lei Tianyu's face brightened. "Uncle, you've killed this woman!"
Lei Hong casually tossed Gan Yue's corpse into a pile of rubble and nodded.
"A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could she escape from me?"
"Uncle, you came just in time. Help me guard the formation so that Azure Bull doesn't suddenly awaken and resist while I'm devouring its lightning essence."
Lei Hong's usually indifferent face suddenly broke into an inexplicable smile.
"Nephew Tianyu, you've done very well, truly well."
"Your determination and methods are top-notch."
"And the opportunity is also excellent, but it now belongs to me."
As he spoke the last sentence, Lei Hong's figure abruptly surged forward, his killing intent overwhelming, heading straight for the somewhat weakened Lei Tianyu.
Lei Tianyu's face changed dramatically, full of terror and disbelief.
He hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power to resist, but with only Foundation Establishment cultivation and Lei Hong's surprise attack, he was no match for Lei Hong, who was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Before he could cast any spells, Lei Hong's fist slammed into his dantian.
Lei Hong's fist was glowing with lightning, and the dazzling lightning tore through Lei Tianyu's dantian, instantly shattering it. The thick spiritual energy within the dantian surged out like a breached dam.
In just a few breaths, Lei Tianyu lost all his cultivation and suffered severe internal injuries.
Lei Hong picked up the severely wounded Lei Tianyu with a look of smug satisfaction.
"Nephew Tianyu, your uncle has taught you many truths about the cultivation world. Today, I'll teach you the final and most important lesson."
"Never trust anyone, not even close family like parents or spouses. As long as the benefits are substantial enough, anyone can betray you."
"In the next life... Oh no! You won't have a next life. You're about to have your soul scattered. Hahaha..."
Amidst the triumphant and crazed laughter, Lei Hong casually threw Lei Tianyu beside Kou Chang and walked towards the altar.
Kou Chang, looking at the barely alive Lei Tianyu next to her, suddenly burst into wild laughter, her voice filled with madness and satisfaction.
"Hahaha... Lei Tianyu, you plotted so much, only to end up being a pawn for others and betrayed by your own kin. You truly deserve this, even more pitiable and pathetic than I am."
"Hahaha... Ah!"
Kou Chang's laughter was abruptly cut off as a blood hole the size of a fist appeared in her chest.
Lei Hong uttered a light command.
"Enough noise!"
With a casual wave, a burst of spiritual power swept Kou Chang, who was on her last breath, into the pile of rubble, landing right next to Gan Yue's corpse.
Sensing the loss of opportunity and the approach of death, Kou Chang's eyes widened in shock.
With one last glance at the corpse of her second senior sister, Kou Chang closed her eyes forever.
The two, who had once been rivals, now rested together in eternal sleep.
TL: Damn!
