Chapter 569 - 568: Slaying with a Finger Flick

Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Slaying with a Finger Flick

The single word "Prince" made everyone’s eyes light up. They hurriedly looked over to see a young man floating in the air, his hands clasped behind his back, coldly watching Donglin and his men.

"So, you’re the Prince of the Celestial Dragon Empire?" Donglin sized Yi Tianyun up, inwardly shocked. ’Isn’t he a bit too young?’

He looked to be under twenty, yet he’s already a Prince? And since he can fly, his cultivation is undoubtedly at the Spirit Pill Stage. Rumor has it that the Prince is incredibly formidable, capable of controlling the Celestial Dragon Treasure and clashing head-on with the Dragon Chancellor.

But that was all just hearsay. Donglin and his men didn’t really believe it. Perhaps he had only managed to win through a desperate, life-or-death struggle.

"That’s right. It’s me," Yi Tianyun said, looking at him calmly. In his eyes, Donglin was already a dead man.

"Pfft..." Donglin scoffed. "You’re right, you’re not a coward hiding in your shell anymore. You’re an idiot! Instead of hiding in the Celestial Dragon Imperial City, you ran out here to provide reinforcements. If that’s not idiotic, what is?"

The color drained from the faces of Moss and his men. Without the power of the Celestial Dragon Treasure from the Imperial City, how could he possibly use the Heaven-Shocking Technique?

"Hm? Are you finished?" Yi Tianyun said nonchalantly. "Are those your last words?"

"Last words? Those should be *your* last words!" Donglin was stunned for a moment, then sneered. "Seize him! He’s the Prince of the Celestial Dragon Empire. Let’s ’serve’ him well!"

"Yes, sir!" The many Spirit Pill Stage experts sneered and quickly moved to surround him. ’How strong can such a young man possibly be? He probably just broke through to the Spirit Pill Stage not long ago.’

He might be a genius, but against a late-stage Spirit Pill Stage expert, he was no different from a child.

As the numerous Spirit Pill Stage experts closed in, Yi Tianyun simply pointed a finger, and tens of thousands of flying swords instantly materialized around him! He had equipped the Sword Master Set in a flash, controlling the myriad Spirit Swords to annihilate everything!

He didn’t even want to lift a finger. Dealing with this trash only required the Sword Master Set for an easy kill. Especially when facing so many Cultivators whose cultivation levels weren’t particularly high, using the Sword Master Set to wipe them out was like slaughtering chickens and dogs!

"What is this!?"

They trembled uncontrollably as they watched the tens of thousands of Spirit Swords take flight. Even the Spirit Swords held by some of the Spirit Pill Stage experts were pulled from their grasp, drawn into the grand sword formation.

"Go!"

With a point of Yi Tianyun’s finger, the tens of thousands of Spirit Swords shot forward in a frenzy, descending from the sky like a dense rain of blades!

"WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH..."

The sound of the air being torn apart echoed as streaks of silver light pierced through the charging Cultivators. Even those at the Spirit Pill Stage were riddled with holes like sieves under the assault of Ten Thousand Swords!

For the other Spirit Pill Stage Cultivators who were too slow to react, it was already too late by the time they thought to turn and flee. Their escape speed was far outmatched by the pursuit of the Spirit Swords.

"AHHHH..."

They were instantly run through from behind by the Spirit Swords. Their bodies faltered, and they collapsed to the ground, fresh blood staining the earth where they fell. In the blink of an eye, most of the invaders had been wiped out, utterly crushed with ease!

’What kind of Divine Skill is this...’ Donglin’s expression darkened. Even though his cultivation was at the Void Spirit Stage, the feeling Yi Tianyun gave him now was that of a God of Slaughter!

Gritting his teeth, he produced a low-grade Sacred Artifact and swung it forward in a fierce slash. A thick beam of light swept out, blasting the incoming Spirit Swords to dust.

Before a Sacred Artifact, these Spirit Swords were naturally nothing but junk.

"A pile of scrap metal! Break for me!"

Donglin carved a path of destruction toward Yi Tianyun. But before he could reach him, Yi Tianyun simply raised a hand and pointed in his direction. A pillar of light shot out and pierced straight through his body.

It was so fast he didn’t even have time to react. He flew forward a short distance before he looked down and discovered a gaping, horrifying hole in his chest.

’So this is the power of the Prince...’

Donglin’s vision went black as he tumbled from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground, utterly dead. He had killed Donglin with a single finger, without the slightest bit of difficulty.

Donglin was at the Void Spirit Stage, but in front of Yi Tianyun, even a peak Void Spirit Stage Cultivator would be trash! ’Without the cultivation of the Spirit King Stage, no one can even dream of standing firm before me.’

When Moss and his men saw this, they were all too stunned to speak. Moss knew Yi Tianyun was powerful, but he had thought it was only by relying on the Celestial Dragon Treasure that he could unleash such strength.

But now, all by himself, he had annihilated the entire enemy force, leaving them utterly astounded. ’How long has it been, and he already possesses such terrifying power?’

"Cleanup complete." Yi Tianyun retracted the tens of thousands of Spirit Swords, looked at Moss, and nodded in approval. "Well done. You didn’t choose to betray the Celestial Dragon Empire, even at the very end."

That was a rare quality. After all the enemy had said, Moss and his men still chose to resist to the death, which meant they were truly loyal.

"The Celestial Dragon Empire has treated us well. We have no reason to betray it. Even if no reinforcements had come in the end, we would have accepted our fate..." Moss shook his head. With four Empires surrounding them, how could help possibly arrive in time?

"In fact, reinforcements were always on the way. It’s just that the enemy forces are too powerful, and they couldn’t get through," Yi Tianyun said, shaking his head. Before arriving here, he had already slain many Cultivators from the other powers.

"Among them were many Cultivators from the Celestial Dragon Empire trying to provide aid, but it was just a drop in the bucket. How could an Empire that wasn’t particularly strong to begin with, and had suffered from internal conflict, possibly fend off an invasion from four Imperial forces?"

The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak. That was the current state of the Celestial Dragon Empire.

"The Prince’s arrival is all the proof we need!" Their eyes filled with hope. The appearance of Yi Tianyun was enough to change everything, reaffirming their faith.

For him to come to their rescue at this critical moment made all their struggles worthwhile.

"I’m heading to the next city to provide support. I’ll drive all four Imperial forces out!" Yi Tianyun’s gaze turned cold as he spoke in a low voice. "Gather the spoils from their bodies and replenish your supplies!"

With that said, he swiftly flew away, heading for the next city. This was far from over; it was just one city among many. The real battle was yet to come.

Watching Yi Tianyun’s departing figure, Moss and his men immediately knelt to the ground and shouted, "We wish the Prince a triumphant victory and the annihilation of all foes!"

Only after Yi Tianyun had completely vanished over the horizon did they quickly emerge from the city to collect the spoils of war. Their losses hadn’t been too severe this time. They were fortunate that Yi Tianyun had arrived, otherwise, they would have all been wiped out.

Inside, many of the Cultivators cheered wildly. Yi Tianyun’s prestige had soared to its absolute peak!
