Chapter 1871: Decisive Execution

The atmosphere stretched taut as Moran Linlang and Moran Linglong looked at Lu Yun.

“Let’s get down there and smash his brains apart!” Lu Yun leered. He leapt up and jumped down the mountain, landing heavily on the Bloodscorch Lion’s head.

Regardless, the lion was a true supreme. Despite being heavily injured, his head wasn’t something that Lu Yun could damage. Therefore, the young man rebounded high into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

The two sisters were hot on his heels.

“You three are finally showing yourselves.” The lion opened his scarlet eyes. “I recognize you, you’re from the Moran Clan. I didn’t attack you because I don’t wish to offend your faction.”

His voice was resonant and powerful, but he remained sprawled on the ground. Though he stared fixedly at Moran Linlang, his voice was mild. “I will not pursue this matter further if you leave now. The Morans will make trouble for me all the same if I kill you.”

“Oh? Is that so?” A merry Lu Yun crawled up. “My elders told me before I came that everyone I see here is an enemy. I only need to kill everyone I come across to ensure that no one will make trouble for me._{NovelFull.com}

“Do it, this guy can’t move right now. He’s bluffing. If we wait another two incense sticks, his nascent spirit will fully meld with the Bloodscorch Lion and all of us will die,” he looked at Moran Linlang.

A supreme of the outside world had taken possession of the lion and brought with him the intelligence of the chief worlds. Crafty, devious, and insidious, he hadn’t discovered the trio earlier. That was why he’d relaxed to meld his nascent spirit with the beast’s.

The lion’s expression shifted at hearing Lu Yun’s words and violence flashed through his eyes. He couldn’t move at the moment not because his soul was injured, but because he was in the melding process. It was a very short period of time to him, but a period in which nothing could be allowed to go wrong.

That was why he’d killed or chased away everyone in the vicinity, but to think that three little fish had gotten through!

Lu Yun ignored the lion and surreptitiously released glyphs into the air, soundlessly building a formation.

“I’ll do it!” Moran Linglong jumped into action before her older sister could respond. A black shortsword appeared in her hand without another word and flared with black radiance, slicing the lion’s head into two.

Lu Yun hadn’t thought that Moran Linglong was so ferocious—she’d killed the lion after that quick shout! Neither did the Bloodscorch Lion think that a harmless young girl would end him in such a decisive fashion.

A man’s figure burrowed out of the lion’s head, his eyes brimming with resentment. Before he could say anything, Moran Linglong struck again and scattered him to the four winds. She cheered and threw herself into the lion’s head, searching for its core.

“Have you two always killed people without thinking twice?” Lu Yun looked speechlessly at Moran Linlang.

“Wasting words with people in the World of Soul Dominion means to nurture a death wish,” she shrugged. “If it wasn’t for the old ghost hiding off to the side when we met you, you might already be dead too.”

Lu Yun shrank in on himself. He’d unwittingly walked into their trap and caused Moran Linglong to reveal herself in a moment of distraction. The female ghost was close at hand and if the sisters attacked Lu Yun, they would be exposed and give the ghost an opening.

That was the only reason why he hadn’t been taken down.

This world is a fine place to temper the heart and mind, alright. People kill without hesitation, but don’t lose themselves in it.

“Where’s the core? Why isn’t there a core?” Moran Linglong clambered out of the lion’s head, looking blankly at her older sister.

She rubbed her forehead. “Check to see if there’s a dao palace in his brain. He’s a real supreme, not a beast that just has the physical strength of one.”

“Oh. Oh yeah.” Moran Linglong went back inside.

“Er, she doesn’t do this at home, does it?” Lu Yun asked incredulously.

“Do what?” Moran Linlang also looked at him, lost.

“Well, climbing into other beings’ heads and getting herself all bloody and stuff…” Lu Yun’s Spectral Eye could clearly make out the gore and white brain matter on Moran Linglong’s body, but she didn’t seem to care.

Moran Linglong and Moran Linlang were certainly very preeminent figures in the Moran Clan. Even if they weren’t pampered since childhood, they were lofty princesses and would never do something like this.

“No,” Moran Linlang shook her head. “But we must do this here. If we enter this world with the air of a princess, we’ll die before we know it.”

“You two… adapted that quickly?” Lu Yun started.

“Our elders put an appropriate amount of fear into us before we left. Plus, we don’t want to die either, so there’s no choice but to proceed this way.” Moran Linlang spread her hands out. “Linglong, stay in there and don’t come out.”

She suddenly took to the sky and released threads of golden silk.

“Moran Linlang and Moran Linglong greets the fellow daoists,” her tones were extremely cold. “Any fellow daoist is welcome to come if you wish to take this lion’s corpse. Linlang will answer all comers.”

“Heh heh heh heh heh… you are certainly bold, child. I’ve had my eye on this lion for a long time, but you swooped in in front of me. You’ll get out of here if you know what’s good for you and we’ll spare your lives on account of the Morans.” A man dressed in green strolled out of the darkness. His aura was much greater than Moran Linlang’s—he was at least fortieth level sequence.

Forty levels of sequence was rare in the chief worlds, but as common as hairs on an ox in a place of trial like this. Great daos vied with each other—one either advanced or retreated. The stronger the powerhouse, the harder they fought. Their deepest fear was to fall behind others.

The man had been previously scared away, but swiftly returned when he felt the lion’s enormous life force suddenly vanish. There were two more cultivators on par with him by his side. They formed a triangle with the man and surrounded the lion’s body.
