The owner of that giant hand was none other than Gui Yun. Soul runes surged from the chains and were absorbed by his palm.
The Butterfly Spirit woman wailed in pain, while Gui Yun remained expressionless, completely ignoring the pain of her soul being stripped away.
Soon, the voice of the Butterfly Spirit clan woman grew weaker and weaker until she finally passed away. Her soul dissipated, her body began to decay, and eventually turned to dust. A gentle breeze blew by, and she vanished between heaven and earth. A beautiful and kind being was thus stripped of her life.
"My Butterfly Dance clan, along with the Butterfly Spirit clan, is a spirit clan. I formed a contract with her, and after she dies, my lifespan will soon come to an end.
The Butterfly Spirit Clan is naturally kind and does not bear hatred, but our Butterfly Dance Clan is different. You killed her, so I will avenge her. Die Wu looked at Gui Yun, her beautiful eyes filled with pain, hatred, and endless killing intent.
"Hahaha, countless Butterfly Spirit clan members have died by my hands, and those seeking revenge are as numerous as cattle. Unfortunately, the weak are weak, forced to endure their defeat. Don't you understand yet? This is your destiny. "Gui Yun laughed loudly at the sky, as if he'd just heard something utterly ridiculous.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the barrier in front of them vanished. Butterfly Dance waved her jade hand, the earth split open, and beams of wood spurted out.
"Rumble rumble...
As the wooden spikes flew out, ripples spread across the void, space shattered, fragments of time and space flew everywhere, and a vast force surged through the formation. The experts inside felt suffocated, as if their bodies were about to be torn apart.
"Thump thump thump... The
wooden spikes shot into the sky, crashing into the arena's barrier. As the barrier trembled, ripples appeared, faintly showing signs of shattering, leaving the entire arena stunned.
"What kind of power is this?"
As the arena trembled, thorns and vines swept in all directions like raging dragons, instantly turning the entire arena into a world of wood.
Through the barrier, people could see Butterfly Dance with her jade feet stepping on the void, her long arms swaying, waists moving, and she was actually dancing.
Her graceful figure seemed like a microcosm of the Heavenly Dao; even a glance or a snap of her fingers could summon the power of the Heavenly Dao to respond.
"I understand now. He uses the body as the Dao, using dance as a substitute for hand seals. Without the coordination of body, speech, or mind, he can trigger the spell." At this moment, Luo Xue suddenly understood; it was the first time she had heard of such a miraculous race in the world.
"Rumble rumble... Die
Wu was like a beautiful elf, strolling through the void, dancing in countless paths. Wooden pillars and spikes formed furious dragons swirled back and forth on the arena, producing violent sounds.
The void was torn apart by a terrifying force, and the arena had long since vanished. This was a world of wooden dragons, and the Ghost Fallen Man had already been swallowed by them.
When cracks appeared in the barrier on the arena, a second barrier appeared again, blocking Die Wu's terrifying power.
Watching the wooden dragon spin and stir heaven and earth, everyone couldn't help but feel terrified. Even through the grand formation, they could feel the terrifying power atop the dragon. Even space itself was being crushed to the point of collapse. If it were flesh and blood, it would be crushed to dust in an instant. Even first-generation experts couldn't get close. This is absolute power.
"Where is Gui Yun?" Could it be that he was killed? The
Wooden Dragon Swallowed the Heavens, filling the entire arena, yet Gui Yun's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a blinding light appeared from within the arena. The raging furious dragon was illuminated by the light, and the wooden pillars turned to dust, scattering across the sky.
"What?"
People were horrified to discover that within the endless divine light, the figure of Gui Yun appeared. Divine flames intertwined around him, blazing like the sun. He looked like a descended celestial being. As his radiance surged, countless wooden pillars shattered one after another, making him utterly powerless before the divine light.
"You're like a moth to a flame, courting your own destruction." Within the divine flames, Gui Yun's voice was cold and full of mockery.
How could this happen? People stared at Gui Yun in terror, unable to believe that such a powerful wood-element spell had been broken like this.
"It seems I underestimated your evil. You killed far too many Butterfly Spirit Clan members and fused their blessings.
The Butterfly Spirit Clan and our Butterfly Dance Clan coexist and coexist. If you use the Butterfly Spirit Clan's blessing to break our Butterfly Dance Clan's secret technique, no matter how powerful I am, I won't be able to deal with you." Die Wu looked at Gui Yun, her eyes filled with hatred, yet she was helpless.
The secret technique of the Butterfly Dance Clan can only be broken by the Butterfly Spirit Clan. She had originally hoped her secret technique could suppress Gui Yun, but unexpectedly, Ghost Yun absorbed a great deal of the Butterfly Spirit Clan's soul and spirit blood, merging it into her body.
Not only that, Gui Yun had also killed many powerful members of the Die Wu clan and was thoroughly familiar with their secret techniques; otherwise, he wouldn't have broken them so easily.
"So, you're like a moth to a flame, courting your own destruction. If you hadn't come here, you could have barely survived for a few months."
But today, you have come to me on your own. Since that's the case, I won't hold back—I'll accept your Wood Spirit power." Gui Yun looked at Die Wu, stepping through the void and slowly walking toward her.
As he advanced, any wooden dragon blocking his path shattered upon touching the divine flame, turning to dust.
"I understand. Not only did you absorb the souls and blood of the Butterfly Spirit Clan, but you also used the same method to kill my Die Wu clan.
As an assassin, your greatest skill is the art of concealment, and my Die Wu clan is blessed by the Heavenly Dao and possesses the divine power to merge heaven and earth. If you master this ability, your stealth technique will become untraceable. Die Wu looked at Gui Yun, a sharp light flashing in her eyes. In that instant, she seemed to understand everything.
"What's the point of getting it? In my eyes, the weak have no right to complain or resist.
You were born into this world to serve the strong; this is your destiny. Don't blame me; if you want to blame, blame yourself for being too weak. "
Buzz"
As he spoke, Gui Yun vanished in an instant. At the very moment he vanished, the space behind Die Wu split open, and a large hand reached out from the void, reaching straight for the back of Die Wu's neck.
"Boom!"
A petal pattern appeared on Die Wu's jade hand. The void twisted in an instant. Die Wu slapped the giant hand with a palm, and with a loud explosion, the void split open. The space within thousands of miles instantly collapsed.
The spectators were startled, shattering space with a single palm. What kind of power did this palm actually contain?
"Watch out!"
Long Chen shouted loudly, warning Die Wu, but he was still a step too late. Die Wu's palm slapped but missed; that hand was not Gui Yun's true form.
At the very moment Die Wu struck out with her palm, a dagger filled with endless evil energy pierced her back. Gui Yun's plump, sinister face appeared from the void and said sinisterly:
"Lowly being, do you believe in your fate now?"
