Chapter 416: Chapter 414: One Finger Suppresses and Slays a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer! Self-Destruct? Go Ahead, Let Me See

Compared to conventional sword, saber, palm, and fist divine techniques, Finger Technique Divine Techniques are indeed rare.

Moreover, this person’s mastery of Finger Technique Divine Techniques... seems to be as high as a three-story building!

With a horrifying Finger Seal formed, it headed toward Yang Yun, who instantly felt an overwhelming sense of threat.

Without time to ponder why a cultivator likely around the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer could pose such a great threat, Yang Yun’s expression turned stern.

On his right hand, a fiery red glow condensed and instantly transformed into a Palm Seal, carrying a dreadful aura as it fiercely struck out!

Rumble!

The cave couldn’t withstand the battle between these two powerful fighters and began cracking from the mountaintop.

Instantly, large rocks flew and rolled down, the sound of collapsing echoed continuously.

Among the four of them, the weakest were at the Grandmaster Realm, and such a cave collapse didn’t instill much fear.

Xiao Qingyin once again raised a defense shield, bouncing away all the falling debris on her side.

On the other side, He Ding, who was originally blocking the cave entrance, was shocked.

That Palm Technique from Yang Yun... was the only Lower Grade Divine Technique he mastered, the Heaven-Overturning Palm!

Facing a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer with lower-grade divine ability, Yang Yun even used such a move?!

After repelling the debris before him and looking at the battlefield obscured by dust, He Ding had a bad premonition.

That Yang Yun had to resort to such moves indicated he was under immense pressure during the fight.

Sure enough, a moment later...

When most of the swirling dust settled, looking at the battlefield, He Ding was thoroughly shaken!

Two people were still standing in the battlefield, but unlike the still-calm young man, Yang Yun stood there in a daze, with a horrifying blood hole in the center of his forehead...

He was unexpectedly killed on the spot by that high-level divine technique, just with one finger?!!

He Ding only felt as if his brain had been struck hard by a hammer, with endless roaring in his mind.

The scene before him, if not witnessed personally, if he wasn’t a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer, he couldn’t believe it!

On Lu Ye’s side, Xiao Qingyin blocked the falling debris and looked up at this scene, also rendered speechless.

"He actually... killed a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer in one move?!"

Many thoughts instantly crossed her mind.

Wasn’t he saying he was a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer...

Being able to kill a Grandmaster Ninth Layer in one move, and you say it’s a Fourth Layer?!

At this moment, Xiao Qingyin’s emotions grew more complicated, thinking originally she had lost a million by letting Lu Ye go.

Now it seems like, not to mention a million, it’s more like a billion loss!

If, previously, Lu Ye, who remained in the sect, had great potential to lead the Red Cloud Sect to become a top sect in Xuanzhou.

Then now, if Lu Ye hadn’t left...

The Red Cloud Sect might even walk out of Xuanzhou!

Achieving what the founding ancestor had not accomplished!

Instantly, Xiao Qingyin felt the cracks in her Dao heart deepened once more.

Looking indifferently at Yang Yun’s puzzled expression, even in death, Lu Ye reached out, considerately securing Yang Yun’s storage ring.

His foundation was naturally much stronger than Yang Yun’s.

His mastery of lower-grade divine techniques wasn’t even on the same level.

If he were still at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Seventh Layer, to kill with one finger, Lu Ye might have needed to activate the Star Sword Body.

But now, there was no need to use the Divine Body’s power.

At the same time, a thought emerged in Lu Ye’s mind.

"Lighting up the first node in the Dantian Qi Sea seemed to have invisibly boosted my strength..."

This boost wasn’t in terms of realm, but within the same realm, the power he could unleash with the same move was far more formidable than before.

The hidden enhancement from activating the stone monument node was something Lu Ye didn’t expect.

On the other side, He Ding stood there stunned for a while, and then...

Suddenly erupted with extreme speed, turning to flee!

The shock of Yang Yun being killed in one move was too overwhelming for He Ding.

At this moment, He Ding had no desire to fight, only surrounded by fear.

He Ding knew his strength was at most equivalent to Yang Yun’s. If one could kill Yang Yun in one move, then wouldn’t he...

Most likely face the same one-move end?!

"Stay here and don’t move, I’ll be back soon." Lu Ye instructed Xiao Qingyin before his figure flashed and vanished.

In a daze, Xiao Qingyin heard this, nodded slightly in confusion after Lu Ye was gone for two seconds.

After Lu Ye left, Xiao Qingyin’s cracked Dao heart once again surged her Qi and blood, leaving an odd flush on her cheeks.

Meanwhile.

In the blink of an eye, He Ding had fled hundreds of miles away.

Looking back and finding that terrifying God of Slaughter not following, He Ding couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The scene from earlier still lingered vividly in his mind.

"That Celestial Profound Grand Elder... damn it! Who did he provoke?!"

He Ding gritted his teeth and turned his head to look ahead again. If not for that Celestial Profound Grand Elder, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a perilous situation, almost losing his life!

Just as He Ding turned his head, in his sight, he saw a figure seemingly smiling, calmly staring at him.

Suddenly, He Ding was scared out of his wits!

A dignified Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer, regarded as a peak existence by countless individuals, was visibly trembling for a second.

"You... how are you here?!"

Lu Yan calmly said, "You all came blocking the door, now, why the hurry to leave?"

He Ding showed a hint of fierce expression: "Previously, the two of us offended the senior, it was our failure to recognize your greatness, but now Yang Yun has fallen, paying the price... if the senior continues to press, I’ll only resort to self-destruction to counter the senior!"

Though He Ding’s words sounded full of momentum, the core meaning was just one... let him leave.

Otherwise, self-destruction, serving as a human bomb, would haunt you.

"Oh, self-destruct, huh? I’ve not seen it yet, why not demonstrate it for me?" Upon hearing, Lu Ye indifferently shook his head.

The self-destruct tactic, from the Innate Realm onward, already held a certain potency, resembling a hand grenade.

But reaching the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer, it had at least enhanced to an explosive self-destruct measure akin to a considerable artillery shell.

But Lu Ye couldn’t let He Ding go easily just because he threatened to self-destruct.

If future enemies, upon sensing something wrong, resorted to self-destruction threats...
