"Huge Tooth, have you really recovered?"

Looking at the extremely lifelike Huge-toothed Demon Lion in front of him, at this moment, Lu Tianrun subconsciously forgot that there was a crippled Huge-toothed Demon Lion inside him, and instinctively let out a cry of surprise.

"Yes, I have recovered!"

Who would have thought that as soon as Lu Tianrun's words fell, the Huge-toothed Demon Lion rushing towards him actually answered. The question and answer between them sounded quite eerie.

It's important to know that Meridian Spirits and Vein Demons are different. Vein Demons that reach the Heavenly Demon level can already speak human language, but that's due to their own Spiritual Wisdom.

As for Meridian Spirits, they are under the control of their masters, and although they can also speak human words, they will only say what their master commands, never acting with such independent consciousness as now.

"Something's not right!"

Because the Huge-toothed Demon Lion spoke, it finally snapped Lu Tianrun back to his senses. Simultaneously sensing the crippled Huge-toothed Demon Lion within himself, his face suddenly changed dramatically.

In that instant, Lu Tianrun didn't have time to ponder why another lifelike Huge-toothed Demon Lion had appeared. He only felt a wave of imminent deadly danger enveloping his heart. If he didn't act, he might truly fall here.

But since someone was already controlling the Huge-toothed Demon Lion to speak, it was evident that everything was ready, and there was absolutely no chance for this Vice President of Douling Commerce to dodge or breathe.

Just now, while controlling the Huge-toothed Demon Lion to speak, the massive creature was just a few feet away from Lu Tianrun, and at that moment, a more magical scene occurred.

Swish!

Just as Lu Tianrun was about to act, the gigantic, pitch-black Huge-toothed Demon Lion's form suddenly shifted, transforming instantly into a three-foot-long Black Light Wooden Sword.

The wooden sword looked quite ordinary, like a toy played with by mortal children, but as it appeared close at hand, Lu Tianrun's face turned incomparably despairing.

Although this was Lu Tianrun's first meeting with Yun Xiao, he had already begun to learn about that simply dressed youth from the Spirit Fighting Commerce in Yuyang City.

Over the years, Yun Xiao had repeatedly slain opponents with the wooden sword that hung at his back, even killing many powerful opponents whose strength far exceeded his own, catching them by surprise.

Thus, Lu Tianrun knew this unassuming wooden sword was actually a Supreme Divine Weapon; if pierced by it, death was the inevitable outcome.

But what Lu Tianrun couldn't understand was why that kid named Yun Xiao, who had been crushed to pulp by his Mountain Meridian Technique, could still control the wooden sword to attack him?

"Could it be..."

At this critical moment, as an incredible thought rose in Lu Tianrun's mind, the corner of his eye caught sight of an extremely familiar figure slowly emerging beside the great Meridian Qi Mountain. Who else could it be but Yun Xiao?

Slash!

But unfortunately, it was all too late. Just as Lu Tianrun realized Yun Xiao wasn't dead, the wooden sword, transformed into Black Light, had already pierced through his throat with lightning speed.

How sharp was the Dragon Taming Sword? Even this late-stage Floating Life Realm super strong man, the honorable Vice President of Douling Commerce, couldn't withstand a single strike from the Dragon Taming Sword. A transparent hole was stabbed through his front throat and rear neck.

Perhaps in his wildest dreams, Lu Tianrun never imagined he would die so humiliatingly on Impermanence Island. He was full of ambition, with so many great things unfinished, how could he just die like this?

"I... ugh... ugh..."

Lu Tianrun seemed to want to say something, but the blood gushing from his throat choked his words back down, only managing some unintelligible sounds. His gaze towards the distant simply-dressed youth was filled with despair and extreme venom.

Once upon a time, Lu Tianrun was so full of himself, besides President Wei Duzheng, he was the supreme force, overseeing commerce headquarters, strategizing decisions for many significant matters on the Tenglong Continent.

Even when that kid named Yun Xiao killed the teams dispatched by Lu Tianrun, he never considered this young boy worth noticing. That was the difference between ants and an elephant.

But suddenly one day, when Lu Tianrun heard the ant in his heart had grown into a wolf, he only paid a bit more attention. No matter how fierce the wolf was, the giant elephant could always stomp it to death.

Not until he personally saw Yun Xiao on Impermanence Island did Lu Tianrun realize that the boy he once regarded as an ant had not only grown to the level of a wolf but was even capable of tearing a piece from him, a giant elephant.

Yet, even so, Lu Tianrun never imagined he would lose. Not only did he fail, but after failing, the inconspicuous wooden sword pierced through his throat, leaving him powerless to turn the tide.

No matter how unwilling or incredulous Lu Tianrun was, ultimately, he couldn't live again. The gaze fixed on the distant figure in coarse clothes gradually faded, and he finally fell with a thud, never to move again.

"Lu Tianrun... dead?!"

Compared to the mental activities of Lu Tianrun before his death, Fu Lingxue, who had been watching the battle from not far away, directly widened her beautiful eyes at this moment, completely incredulous.

He was an expert at the late stage of Floating Life Realm, on the same level as her. Fu Lingxue wondered, even in single combat, how difficult it would be for her to gain even the slightest advantage.

But such a formidable late-stage Floating Life Realm expert was killed by Yun Xiao within just a few moves. The impact this had on Fu Lingxue was beyond imagination.

Although it seemed to take a long time, from Lu Tianrun's summoning of the Meridian Spirit Huge-toothed Demon Lion to his use of the Heavenly Rank Low Level mountain meridian technique, and finally being killed by a sword piercing through the throat, not even fifteen minutes had passed.

Moving her gaze away from Lu Tianrun's fallen corpse, Fu Lingxue finally noticed the figure in coarse clothing floating in the sky, her eyes full of caution.

At this moment, the massive mountain peak dissipated due to Lu Tianrun's death, revealing a lean figure with Thunder Wings standing idly, his complexion pale yet appearing as an invincible Demon God.

"I knew it would be like this!"

Aside from the deceased Lu Tianrun and Fu Lingxue who was now wary, Xu Hongzhuang clapped her hands with a cheer, leaving those around her somewhat puzzled.

Just now, Yun Xiao was clearly on the brink of death under that Heavenly Rank Meridian Techniques, so how did he suddenly turn the tables? And what was that Huge-toothed Demon Lion that appeared in front of Lu Tianrun?

Apart from Ling Wan, who was a straightforward young man, the others were all meticulous-minded, and they knew clearly that the Dragon Taming Sword could assassinate Lu Tianrun. The suddenly appearing realistic Huge-toothed Demon Lion undoubtedly played a crucial role.

But what kind of method could create an illusion of a Huge-toothed Demon Lion that even Lu Tianrun himself could not distinguish? This was a baffling question to everyone.

"Let me tell you, Yun Xiao's Dragon Taming Sword..."

Xu Hongzhuang now felt slightly proud, having witnessed some of the Dragon Taming Sword's special methods before, she spoke eloquently, instantly making the women and Ling Wan understand what had just happened.

In fact, Xu Hongzhuang guessed correctly. That realistic Huge-toothed Demon Lion, which even Lu Tianrun could not discern immediately, was indeed deliberately created by Yun Xiao. And this move was called "Dragon Taming Illusion Form"!

The mountain meridian technique executed by Lu Tianrun was naturally something Yun Xiao would not face head-on. Even if he could withstand it, his Meridian Qi would likely be drained instantly.

With a Vice Palace Master of Wuyan Palace assisting Lu Tianrun, Yun Xiao certainly would not engage in a direct battle. He had far more powerful and bizarre methods.

The technique used to evade the Meridian Qi Mountain's pressure was none other than the unrivaled Body Meridian Techniques' Shadow Clone.

Yun Xiao caught Lu Tianrun off guard, betting that even if Lu Tianrun had heard of Shadow Clones before, he wouldn't be able to respond instantly the first time seeing it.

As he transferred his position, Yun Xiao changed the seal. The Dragon Taming Sword, which silently approached Lu Tianrun, instantly transformed into a lifelike Huge-toothed Demon Lion.

The second form illusion of the Dragon Taming Nine Swords, the creation was unbelievably realistic, even mimicking the aura of the Huge-toothed Demon Lion perfectly.

Thus, when Lu Tianrun failed to distinguish the false Huge-toothed Demon Lion in the first moment, his fate was sealed, as the Dragon Taming Sword was already less than a few feet away from his vital throat.

Ultimately, Lu Tianrun was killed by a sword through the throat, dying extremely bizarrely and suddenly. But upon reflection, it was all traceable, entirely within Yun Xiao's precise calculations.

Even though Yun Xiao was currently at the middle stage of the Floating Life Realm, facing Lu Tianrun at the late stage of Floating Life Realm, he would need a hard-fought battle to win.

At that time, even if Yun Xiao won, it would be a brutal victory, leaving him without the strength to deal with the Vice Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, Fu Lingxue.

Since he had already fallen out with Wuyan Palace and Douling Commerce, Yun Xiao had no intention of showing any mercy. Unless he defeated them thoroughly, no one would know his true ruthlessness.

Therefore, after seeing Lu Tianrun fall with a thud, he no longer paid attention to the now non-threatening Vice President of Douling Commerce but turned his gaze to Fu Lingxue, the Vice Palace Master of Wuyan Palace.

"Now, it's your turn!"

Yun Xiao's voice didn't contain any emotion, as if he was looking at someone who was about to die. Carrying the momentum from killing Lu Tianrun, even though his face remained pale, he exuded a unique authority.

However, Fu Lingxue had already set aside the fear and awe she felt upon witnessing Lu Tianrun's death, replaced by intense killing intent.

"Yun Xiao, I wonder how long you can maintain this state?"
