Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 573 - 572: Slaying the Scorpion-Tailed Youth and Seizing the Extermination Banner
"Courting death!"
Seeing the Soul-destroying Spear coming at him, a fierce gleam appeared in the eyes of the scorpion-tailed, eerie youth.
He swung the God-destroying Flag in his hand once again.
Buzz!
In an instant, the entire God-destroying Flag expanded to a radius of several miles, sweeping straight towards the black-gold Jiao Long formed by the Soul-destroying Spear, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
At this moment, the black-gold Jiao Long seemed to sense an extreme crisis and actually shivered faintly.
However, no one noticed that behind the black-gold Jiao Long, a banner wholly platinum in color suddenly transformed into a large spear, stabbing towards the back of the scorpion-tailed eerie youth.
Bang!
The void shattered.
The black-gold Jiao Long, formed by the Soul-destroying Spear, let out a mournful cry.
Its massive body was suddenly covered in countless cracks.
Finally, with a crash, it fell apart into countless points of light and dissipated.
At the same time, as the scorpion-tailed eerie youth displayed a cold demeanor, he suddenly sensed a deadly crisis surging from behind him.
This instantly changed his facial expression.
He instinctively turned his head, his pupils contracting rapidly.
"What is that?"
In that instant, the hair all over his body stood on end.
Amidst his shock, a name instinctively flashed through his mind.
"The Life-destroying Flag!"
"Damn it!
This guy, he actually obtained the corresponding Life-destroying Flag!"
Rumble!
No time to think, the scorpion-tailed eerie youth immediately exerted all his strength to wield the God-destroying Flag in his hand, trying to block the attack from the Life-destroying Flag.
However, the God-destroying Flag in his hand had not yet been thoroughly refined by him.
Moreover, the God-destroying Flag had already unleashed its power once.
At this moment, not only did it not immediately obey the commands of the scorpion-tailed eerie youth, but it also quivered faintly in his hand, seemingly about to escape his control and fly towards the Life-destroying Flag.
This change was obviously unexpected for the scorpion-tailed eerie youth.
His heart was instantly thrown into chaos.
He was clearly aware that, in the face of an attack from a half-immortal treasure of the same origin as the God-destroying Flag, only treasures of the same grade could counter it.
Relying solely on himself was completely insufficient to withstand it, and even protecting himself would be difficult.
The star-sky strong race Mahayana he had previously killed with the God-destroying Flag, and the Holy Land Mahayana he had severely injured in one flag strike, were the best proof of this.
Rumble!
Seeing the threat of the Life-destroying Flag coming closer and closer, the scorpion-tailed eerie youth could no longer care about anything else.
A large amount of his original blood surged around him.
Containing his essence of life, he infused it into the God-destroying Flag, attempting to block this wave of attack from the Life-destroying Flag.
Buzz!
However, to his surprise once again, an extremely pure Rule Power suddenly surged forth from the incoming Life-destroying Flag. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
This Rule Power hit the face of the God-destroying Flag, briefly severing the connection between the scorpion-tailed eerie youth and the God-destroying Flag.
At that moment, the Life-destroying Flag suddenly swept past the scorpion-tailed eerie youth.
"Ugh..."
The scorpion-tailed eerie youth’s eyes instantly widened.
His face was filled with unwillingness and resentment.
He had clearly obtained the half-immortal God-destroying Flag, thinking he could dominate this lower realm, yet not long after, he was about to fall completely.
To this, Ji Haoyuan certainly wouldn’t give him the slightest chance.
The large spear formed by the Life-destroying Flag trembled violently.
The next moment, the scorpion-tailed eerie youth was violently shattered into a mist of blood.
Both his Primordial Spirit and true self were obliterated.
His form and spirit were annihilated.
Crash!
It wasn’t until this moment that all the onlookers finally snapped back to reality.
Their faces were all filled with shock and disbelief.
They never expected that Ji Haoyuan actually possessed a half-immortal treasure.
Moreover, that half-immortal treasure was the corresponding Life-destroying Flag to the God-destroying Flag.
However, soon their gaze fell collectively on the now-ownerless God-destroying Flag.
All their eyes were filled with eagerness, and even greed.
That was a half-immortal treasure, and a top-tier one at that.
With it, while it wouldn’t allow them to roam unchallenged below the realm of an Immortal, there certainly wouldn’t be many who could stand against them.
Most importantly, a treasure that had reached the level of a half-immortal treasure had the power to suppress the fortune of a region.
If possible, no one would willingly let it go.
Swish!
At this moment, two Mahayana couldn’t hold back their inner greed any longer and immediately flew towards the God-destroying Flag.
Halfway through, the Rule Power around them surged, trying to seize the God-destroying Flag.
Seeing this, a trace of indifference appeared in Ji Haoyuan’s eyes.
He was not polite.
The Life-destroying Flag in his hand roared and trembled.
The next moment, the two Mahayana Saint Monarchs rushing towards the God-destroying Flag coughed up blood and were sent flying backward.
Swish!
At the same time, a golden gleaming hand suddenly reached out, firmly grabbing the God-destroying Flag.
"Nanhua, you..."
Seeing this, the two Mahayana who had been struck by Ji Haoyuan and sent flying, their faces changed slightly.
This caused Ji Haoyuan to immediately turn his gaze upon them, speaking unceremoniously:
"When the God-destroying Flag was in the hands of that person from the Divine Ruins, why didn’t you show such courage?
Now that this item is my war trophy, you suddenly have the courage to contest it in my hands.
Do you really think that just because we belong to the same faction, I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"
These words instantly changed the expression of the two.
The others present also suddenly fell silent.
Evidently, although they too were envious of Ji Haoyuan’s fortune, and even held some jealousy,
they understood a simple truth, that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what Ji Haoyuan had just said.
Normally, the things on a vanquished enemy belong to the killer.
Now that Ji Haoyuan had slain the scorpion-tailed eerie youth, everything on the latter naturally belonged to him.
Moreover, there was one crucial point.
That was, concerning the earlier events, Ji Haoyuan had essentially saved all their lives.
Instead of gratitude, there was even an attempt to covet his loot.
No matter where such a thing occurs, it’s indefensible.
In fact, to be blunt, if Ji Haoyuan had killed the two on the spot, the others couldn’t have found fault with him.
As the two gradually calmed down, they clearly realized this too.
This made them simultaneously feel a bit tense, yet hastily apologize to Ji Haoyuan.
"Sorry, Nanhua Dao You, but treasures blinded our minds. Please don’t take it to heart."
"We are grateful for your life-saving grace and will surely not refuse any future requests."
