Liu Yuande lived for tens of thousands of years and had a keen understanding of subtle situations.

During his interactions with these people, even Emperor Jinyan needed to communicate with him through eye contact.

It's even possible that the complete downfall of the Liu family line was due to this kid.

After all, he had previously revealed the crimes of the elders of the Liu family.

Chu Yang frowned slightly, his expressionless face saying, "How can you guarantee that releasing her will ensure her safe escape?"

"Release her, and I might consider lenient treatment for your crime."

"Spare my sentence? Haha~~"

"My Liu family lineage has completely fallen into your hands. How can you expect to forgive my crimes? Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"Kid, this is the last time I'm warning you. Are you really going to disregard this woman's safety?"

Liu Yuande's expression turned cold, and he tightened his grip on Lin Xi's shoulder.

With such force, Lin Xi's face contorted in pain.

Seeing the pain on Lin Xi's face, Chu Yang's expression turned cold. "Old man, she is your only bargaining chip now. If you hurt her, I will make sure that the entire Liu family is wiped out."

"You can't escape the Xuanling Sect either!"

"Hehehe, you're angry. Looks like you really care about her..."

Liu Yuande grinned wickedly, increasing the force in his hand, and even a trace of demonic energy began to invade Lin Xi's body.

"Ahhhhh—"

The invasion of demonic energy caused Lin Xi to let out a mournful cry.

Seeing that Lin Xi was still enduring the pain and clenching her teeth, Liu Yuande couldn't help but say:

"Girl, you really are a tough nut to crack. I have to admire you. Even in this situation, you still haven't pleaded with this kid."

"Why don't you tell me about the pain you've been through? And beg your husband to let you go?"

"Chu Yang, kill him..." Lin Xi said through gritted teeth.

"Nephew Chu Yang!"

"Junior Nephew Chu Yang, Liu Yuande has fallen into the demonic path and become completely insane. Why don't we try to find a way to get him to release Lin Xi?"

Seeing this, the elders of the Li family lineage became anxious. Lin Xi couldn't die on their Purple Pill Peak.

Liu Yuande is not worthy of being associated with Lin Xi, a top genius.

Lin Xi is currently in his hands, and even the Golden Flame Emperor cannot guarantee the rescue of the hostage with his strength.

"What? Chu Yang, haven't you made up your mind yet?"

"You don't have much time left," Liu Yuande said sinisterly.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else, and most of the demonic energy in his body surged into Lin Xi's body.

Her originally aloof and ethereal temperament now carried a hint of wickedness and allure.

"Chu Yang..."

Seeing the beauty's breath growing weaker and weaker, Chu Yang's dark pupils finally flashed with a hint of ferocity and madness.

His body was surrounded by golden, sacred battle magic power, which also caused the Soul Cleansing Lock on Lin Xi's hand to be completely covered by golden light.

At this moment, he finally gained complete control of the Soul Cleansing Lock.

Wow!

The next second, the Soul Cleansing Lock fell from Lin Xi's hand, and Zhan Xuan's magic power, combined with the blue light, forcibly pushed Liu Yuande back a hundred meters.

"This is?!"

Liu Yuande stared in horror at the Soul-Purifying Lock floating before him.

This is actually a quasi-Emperor's weapon?

He reacted quickly, conjuring up demonic energy into a hand that reached out to grab Lin Xi again.

The Soul-Purifying Lock instantly unleashed a sea of ​​lightning that engulfed Liu Yuande.

The latter was surrounded by demonic energy, attempting to shatter the sea of ​​lightning.

But when the demonic energy surged into the sea of ​​lightning, it seemed to sink into the ocean like a stone.

"Damn it!"

Liu Yuande's face turned ashen; he was completely blocked by this sea of ​​thunder.

Chu Yang instantly appeared beside Lin Xi.

He immediately channeled his battle-hardening power into Lin Xi's body, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he understood the situation.

"Are you alright?"

Chu Yang spoke softly, as if afraid of disturbing the white-haired woman in front of him.

Lin Xi lowered her head unconsciously, her tone somewhat ashamed.

"sorry."

Chu Yang gently shook his head, then gently lifted Lin Xi's chin. "You... came to see me?"

Lin Xi nodded gently.

"You came to see me because you were worried about me, so why are you apologizing?"

"But I've caused trouble."

"You didn't cause any trouble, you didn't hurt anyone, you just encountered these wicked creatures who deserved to die, and they hurt you. You should apologize to yourself."

"I'm actually quite happy that you came to see me."

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that being taken hostage could be explained in this way.

"Does it hurt?"

Chu Yang touched Lin Xi's shoulder with his palm, and feeling the pain, Lin Xi's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

Chu Yang said, "It looks like it's in a lot of pain. Don't worry, I will make the Liu family pay a heavy price."

When Emperor Jin Yan saw that Liu Yuande was trapped, he tried to fly away, but was stopped by Chu Yang in the next second.

Emperor Jin Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Nephew Chu Yang, what's wrong? This menace cannot be allowed to live, otherwise it will definitely be detrimental to the Xuanling Sect."

"Senior Jin Yan, let me do it."

Emperor Jin Yan paused slightly, then looked at Lin Xi beside Chu Yang. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded.

"it is good."

The next moment, Chu Yang freed his left hand to form a hand seal, and the Soul Cleansing Lock, which was suspended in the center of the sea of ​​thunder, instantly transformed into a thunder dragon a hundred feet long, surging and soaring in the sea of ​​thunder.

roar---

With a roar, the dragon raised its head, causing distant mountains to collapse and the earth to shake violently.

A surging, violent aura emanated from the Thunder Dragon.

"go!"

Chu Yang waved his left hand, and a hundred-foot-long thunder dragon roared and bit at Liu Yuande.

Seeing this, Liu Yuande used his magic to begin engaging the thunder dragon.

A powerful surge of energy continuously reverberated through the space.

Although the Soul Cleansing Lock was only a quasi-Emperor artifact, Liu Yuande was already seriously injured after the previous battle, and he was not someone Liu Yuande could contend with.

In just a few minutes, Liu Yuande was covered in wounds from the thunderous power of the Thunder Dragon.

"Damn you, you little beast! If I weren't severely injured and my imperial body wasn't crippled, how could you possibly have harmed me in the slightest!"

"I am not reconciled!"

Liu Yuande roared in frustration.

With the loss of Lin Xi as a bargaining chip, he is now on the verge of emotional collapse.

Chu Yang, however, wore a mocking expression. "Old man, it's all about the winner taking all."

"You, a quasi-emperor level expert, actually used a woman to blackmail him. You've wasted your life."

"If I were your age, I could kill you a million times over with a single thought."

"Useless trash."

"you!....."

Liu Yuande's face was contorted with rage.

This was the first time he had been told he lacked talent, but he was powerless to refute it.

"Your Liu family has committed heinous crimes, so there's nothing more to say. We'll send you on your way now to meet your ancestors and see if you still have the face to face."

"You little beast, do you think you can kill me with just a quasi-Emperor weapon?!"

Liu Yuande unleashed his bloodline and used a forbidden technique.

In an instant, thick blood mist merged into the darkness, and one after another, huge skulls materialized.

Accompanied by eerie and piercing howls, the ghostly aura surged forth as it lunged at the thunder dragon.

"Yeah?"

Chu Yang remained noncommittal. He then unleashed another obscure hand seal, and instantly the thunder dragon shone brightly.

"This is......"

Upon colliding head-on with the hundred-foot-long thunder dragon and feeling its increasingly astonishing energy, Liu Yuande's expression changed drastically.

"Self-destruct? Kid, you're actually willing to self-destruct a quasi-Emperor artifact?!"

Even though he only possessed one Quasi-Emperor artifact, it had already been destroyed by the Li family in a joint attack.

This kid is only at the King Realm, yet he has the audacity to detonate a Quasi-Emperor artifact to kill him.

"No!!"

The hundred-foot-long thunder dragon annihilated the sea of ​​skeleton demons, and the terrifying energy backlash caused Liu Yuande to suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

The next second, Liu Yuande was engulfed by the thunder dragon, and his life force was rapidly draining away.

Liu Yuande has fallen.

"No, it's my Soul-Purifying Lock!"

When Lin Xi realized that her connection with the Soul Cleansing Lock had been completely severed, she couldn't take it anymore.

This is her only quasi-emperor artifact, and she hasn't used it even though she's had it on her wrist for so long!

So Chu Yang just self-destructed like that?!
