Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Total Annihilation

"Ding! Successfully killed Feng Yulong. Obtained 7,800 experience, 1,800 Madness Value, 50 Sin Value, and 100 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency. Obtained Flying Cloud Sword Technique and Chaotic Cloud Step."

Kicking Feng Yulong to death was effortless. His cultivation was already weak; killing him was as easy as squashing an ant. It was the ultimate punishment!

"You... you actually killed Feng!" Liao Wen, who had also betrayed the sect, glared at Yi Tianyun furiously. "You... you dare to resist!"

The next moment, Yi Tianyun was in front of him. With a powerful kick, he sent Liao Wen flying, killing him instantly.

"Ding! Successfully killed Liao Wen. Obtained 6,500 experience, 1,500 Madness Value, 20 Sin Value, 100 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency..."

"A capital crime!"

He showed no mercy, killing those who deserved it without a shred of hesitation!

His speed was astonishing; no one could track his movements, not even the elders. He was unbelievably fast. Yang Xixue’s eyes shone as she watched the scene unfold. She always knew Yi Tianyun was strong—he was the one who had utterly suppressed those pirates back then.

"A capital crime!"

Yi Tianyun didn’t stop, continuing to kick his way through the crowd. One by one, the disciples who had betrayed the sect were sent flying, their path ending only in death! He never killed wantonly, but once he began, he was an unstoppable force.

"A capital crime!"

"A capital crime!"

"A capital crime!"

With each cry and each kick, he effortlessly finished off disciple after disciple who had betrayed their sect. It was no trouble at all.

"Stop this at once!" Elder Xiao Jie roared, unleashing the full might of his Spirit Pill Stage cultivation. To have these disciples killed right before his eyes was a vicious slap to his face. How could he possibly tolerate it?!

But before he could even rush over, Yi Tianyun was already in front of him, delivering a powerful kick. THUD! Elder Xiao Jie was sent flying, his internal organs exploding from the impact. He was dead before he hit the ground!

"Bullying our Celestial Extreme Mansion is also a capital crime!" Yi Tianyun said, looking coldly at those still standing. "I’ve listened to your nonsense for long enough. It’s time to clean house and take out the trash. Did you really think the Celestial Extreme Mansion was a pushover? The dignity of our Mansion is not to be violated!"

"Well said! Our Celestial Extreme Mansion might be lacking, but I’m honored to be its disciple, and I’m willing to defend its dignity!" Yang Yu shouted. "Everyone, together! Let’s drive them out!"

Spurred on by Yang Yu, the disciples charged forward as if they were on fire, clashing fiercely with the invaders.

Their cultivation may not have been high, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t fight!

Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. ’It’s disciples like these that give a sect hope to rise again,’ he thought. ’If every single one of them betrayed the sect, or was filled with despair and felt no sense of belonging, then the sect would be absolutely finished.’

"Alright then, let’s finish them off together!" In a flash, Yi Tianyun charged toward another elder—the one with the highest cultivation. After taking him out, everything would be settled.

"You’re making an enemy of the Divine Rune Mansion! You... you must be tired of living!" The remaining elder’s face went pale as Yi Tianyun rushed toward him. His fellow elder had been killed with a single kick; he knew at once that this young man’s cultivation level was terrifyingly high.

"No, you’re the one who’s tired of living!" Yi Tianyun kicked out, sending the elder flying. He, too, died on the spot.

"Successfully killed a Divine Rune Mansion Elder. Obtained 240,000 experience, 3,200 Madness Value, 50 Sin Value, 500 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency..."

’When killing an elder-level opponent, I obviously have to activate Mad Experience Mode,’ he thought. ’An opportunity like this can’t be wasted.’

The other disciples held their own, drawing their weapons and cutting down the disciples of the Divine Rune Mansion. Their weapons were all engraved with their most prized Divine Runes, causing their power to surge. The Divine Rune Mansion’s disciples were not weak, but with all their elders dead, their morale hit rock bottom. They simply turned and fled, losing all courage to resist.

Li Huan, who had been too gravely injured to move, was now dumbstruck. He had been carried over to watch a good show, but now he couldn’t even dream of escaping.

"Somebody... somebody help me get away..." Li Huan struggled to crawl up, but his grievous injuries made it difficult to move.

"Need a hand?" Yi Tianyun had appeared before him at some unknown moment, a wicked grin on his face.

"If... if you kill me, our Mansion Master will avenge us! Your Celestial Extreme Mansion is doomed! You killed our Young Master and so many of our people... I’ll have your entire Celestial Extreme Mansion serve as my funeral offering!" Li Huan was desperate. He knew he was doomed and that begging for mercy was pointless, so he decided to go down fighting.

"Is that so? Unfortunately for you, it won’t be the Celestial Extreme Mansion that’s buried alongside you. It’ll be your Mansion Master, and your entire Divine Rune Mansion!" Yi Tianyun gave a cold smirk and took off the Hundred-Change Mask, revealing a familiar face.

When Li Huan saw his face clearly, he turned deathly pale. He stared and stammered, "How... how can it be you?"

Yi Tianyun put the mask back on and smiled. "Of course, it’s me... And don’t worry, your Mansion Master is already dead. You can rest in peace now."

The words had barely left his lips when Yi Tianyun flew forward and kicked. With a loud BANG, Li Huan was sent flying. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Ding! Successfully killed Li Huan. Obtained experience..."

Soon, the area was cleared. Almost no one was left alive; the takedown had been ruthless. After finishing them off, the other disciples’ faces were grim. Most of them had never killed anyone before, and for some, it was their very first time.

But if they hadn’t done it, they would have been the ones to be killed. They had no choice!

"Clean this place up. I have to leave for a bit," Yi Tianyun said, his eyes flashing.

"Benefactor, where are you going?" Yang Xixue called out urgently.

"To take care of some things. There’s a certain place I was planning to let exist a while longer, but now it seems there’s no need for that." The place Yi Tianyun wanted to go was simple: the Divine Rune Mansion!

He had originally thought the problem was just with the upper echelons, but now it seemed the entire place was rotten to the core. If that was the case, then there was no longer any need for the Divine Rune Mansion to exist. He would pull it out by the roots and wipe it out completely.

After he left, Yang Yu patted his sister’s shoulder. "Sis, he’s already gone. What are you still staring at? No wonder you don’t fancy any other guys; you’ve fallen for him, haven’t you? You know... I think the boss is pretty great, too."

"Get lost!" Yang Xixue huffed. "If you think your boss is so great, then you marry him!"

"I’d want to, but I’m not a girl!" Yang Yu actually admitted it!
