"Tremble! Fear! Despair!"
The Purple Han Marquis looked down at Qin Jun and the others, laughing wildly, making the eerie atmosphere between heaven and earth even more oppressive.
Disciples of the Holy Sect and many people in the Holy City who heard his voice were filled with fear. With the overwhelming strange phenomena and his terrifying words, most people found it difficult to remain calm.
Moreover, the Purple Han Marquis was a powerful expert in the Taiyi Immortal Realm. The pressure he emitted was difficult for even those in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm to resist, let alone the majority of people in the Holy City who were below the True Immortal Realm.
Qin Jun was speechless. Is this guy out of his mind?
But he could also understand the mindset of the Purple Han Marquis. In his eyes, there was no one in the Southern Domain who could surpass him. Even among the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm experts, there were only a few in the entire Southern Domain. It was impossible for a Taiyi Immortal Realm expert to emerge.
In a place where he could do as he pleased, it was only natural for the Purple Han Marquis to be arrogant. But no matter how Qin Jun looked at it, he felt that the guy was a bit mentally deranged.
"Nine Spirit Yuan Saint! Finish him off!" Qin Jun impatiently shouted. Finish him off?
Elder Yi, Sha Wujing, Sun Wukong, and Chang'e all looked at the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint in surprise. Was he really that powerful?
The Purple Han Marquis and the Holy Emperor did not understand what "finish him off" meant, but the Purple Han Marquis did not continue to be arrogant. Instead, he raised his hand and pressed down, and a giant face covered the sky, giving people a terrifying feeling as if the sky was collapsing.
The Nine Spirit Yuan Saint sneered and suddenly stretched his neck. His lion head rapidly enlarged, increasing by thousands of times in less than a second, and he bit down with his mouth wide open.
In an instant, the pupils of the Purple Han Marquis contracted. Just as his expression was about to change, the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint swallowed him in one bite, even biting off more than half of the giant purple face behind him.
It was as if the sky had been swallowed by the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint in one bite.
This scene made countless disciples of the Holy Sect and the cultivators floating above the Holy City widen their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.
The colossal lion head roared to the sky, deafening.
Even Qin Jun gaped at the current Nine Spirit Yuan Saint. Damn, how domineering!
Elder Yi widened his eyes. Although he knew that the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint was very powerful, he did not expect him to be able to swallow the Purple Han Marquis, an expert in the Taiyi Immortal Realm.
The Nine Spirit Yuan Saint quickly retracted his head to its original state, then licked his lips and let out a satisfied burp, leaving everyone speechless.
A Taiyi Immortal Realm expert was just devoured like that?
"Nine Spirit Yuan Saint, you have to be careful," Qin Jun asked nervously.
He couldn't help but think of the story of Sun Wukong entering the belly of the Iron Fan Princess. He hoped that the Purple Han Marquis wouldn't corrode the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint from inside his belly.
The Nine Spirit Yuan Saint shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I didn't just swallow him normally. I used a divine ability."
Devouring the heavens and earth, as the name suggests, is very powerful!
If his cultivation were stronger, swallowing a small world would be no problem.
"Is he dead?" Qin Jun asked with a smile, feeling extremely satisfied. A Taiyi Immortal Realm expert had just knelt down like that. If this news spread, no one would believe it.
Looking at the Holy Emperor, who had his mouth wide open and his body stiff, standing in the distance as if petrified, the Holy Emperor was completely dumbfounded at this moment. The Purple Han Marquis was his nightmare, and he never expected him to fall like this, making him doubt his life.
"How is this possible... That's the Purple Han Marquis..."
The Holy Emperor trembled and murmured, completely forgetting to escape.
The Nine Spirit Yuan Saint looked at the Holy Emperor and squinted his eyes as he replied, "I can't completely kill him for the time being. It will take some time to refine him."
"I'd rather do it. I'll tear him apart in one go!" Elder Yi shouted with some anger.
Whenever the Temple was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel furious.
He had been suppressed by the Temple for thousands of years. If it weren't for his profound cultivation, he would probably have died long ago.
Qin Jun asked with a smile, "Is it true?"
If the Purple Han Marquis could be killed on the spot, that would be the best outcome!
To avoid more trouble in the future.
"Of course!" Elder Yi crossed his arms and raised his chin, showing an air of superiority.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jun immediately said to the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint, "Release that guy and deal with him on the spot!"
As he spoke, he retreated behind Elder Yi to avoid being successfully ambushed by the Purple Han Marquis.
The Nine Spirit Yuan Saint nodded and spat out the Purple Han Marquis. This scene made the Holy Emperor, who was standing far away, excited again. He thought the Purple Han Marquis had forcibly broken free.
At this moment, the Purple Han Marquis, with a face full of anger, exuded a violent aura. Soon, he froze, realizing that he had been released. How did he end up being set free?
"Haha! You are playing with fire!" The Purple Han Marquis said with a grim tone to the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint, as he raised his hand, preparing to seek revenge.
Slap!
At this moment, a hand like a withered tree fell on his shoulder, surprisingly belonging to Elder Yi.
Standing behind the Purple Han Marquis, Elder Yi's face was filled with a cold killing intent, and his eyes were as sharp as icy blades, covering the Purple Han Marquis with a terrifying murderous intent, causing his entire body to stiffen.
How is this possible...
This killing intent...
The Purple Han Marquis trembled as he turned back, and before he could react, with a thud, Elder Yi's other hand pierced through his chest, blood splattering, causing Qin Jun and the others to feel their eyelids twitch.
In the distance, the Holy Emperor pointed at Elder Yi, trembling with fear, muttering to himself, "He's back... He's back..."
"You..." The Purple Han Marquis's eyes were filled with fear and despair, his face covered in cold sweat.
He found that he couldn't move his body, as if some invisible force had bound him, making it impossible for him to escape.
Qin Jun also looked at Elder Yi in astonishment. Although he had estimated that Elder Yi was very powerful, he didn't expect him to be this strong.
"The dog of the Temple, I'll kill one when I see one!"
Elder Yi's voice turned cold as he spoke. With a sudden forceful movement of his arms, blood and flesh splattered as he tore the Purple Han Marquis apart alive.
A beam of light shot out from the shattered remains of the Purple Han Marquis, attempting to escape. Elder Yi reached out and effortlessly pulled it back, revealing the Marquis's soul. It struggled frantically but to no avail.
"Your Majesty, doesn't your Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear capture souls?" Elder Yi turned to Emperor Qin with a smile, though his smile was chilling.
Emperor Qin paused, not noticing Elder Yi's address to him, and instead took out the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear. Absorbing the soul of a powerful expert in the Taiyi Scatter Immortal Realm, wouldn't the quality of the spear soar?
As for guilt, facing the Purple Han Marquis, he found it difficult to feel even a shred of it.
"No, no, please spare me!" The Purple Han Marquis cried out in terror, devoid of his previous domineering aura.
Emperor Qin directly pierced his soul with the spear, and with a loud bang, the spear became scorching hot as the Marquis's soul was crazily drawn into it.
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!" The wails of the Purple Han Marquis echoed over the Holy Sect Peak, causing Emperor Qin to smirk and mutter to himself, "You won't even have the chance to become a ghost!"
"Ding! Side quest completed—Wrath of the Demon Emperor! Obtained the loyal allegiance of the late-stage Taiyi Scatter Immortal Realm expert, Yi, the Demon Emperor!"
