Guangming King A Jia Na (Part I)

No matter who referred to them as the Yiren Race, they were all enemies. Many races did not fear war, but fighting others over a mere name was not worth it. Gradually, the name Yishen Race was established.

Instantly, the two Yiren realized what was happening, their gazes turning unfriendly as they stared at Dandai Bingyun:

"Mortal, do you possess a wicked magical treasure refined from the body of our Yishen Race?"

No race wished for the bodies of their kin to be refined into magical treasures by others, and the Yishen Race was no exception. However, their fierce reaction made it clear how much they cared about this matter.

Dandai Bingyun also grew angry, letting out a cold laugh:

"Yiren, have you taken the wrong medicine? This is the Yecha Sea of the Nine Provinces, not your Guangming Realm. What right do you have to stop me from meeting the Yecha King? What right do you have to question me? Get lost, or I shall destroy your bodies and souls!"

Normally, she would not have lost her temper like this. But now, Lei Dong's life was hanging by a thread, and she needed to seek help from the Yecha King. Her heart was burning with anxiety, and she had developed a killing intent.

"Presumptuous!"

"Audacious!"

The two Yiren immediately flew into a rage. In the Guangming Realm, the Yishen Race practically ruled supreme, accustomed to being arrogant and looking down on everyone. There were many mortals in the Guangming Realm, but most were slaves to the Yishen Race. Today, a mere mortal woman dared to speak so arrogantly, threatening to destroy their bodies and souls; how could they not be enraged?

Instantly, two streaks of pure white light shot from their hands toward Dandai Bingyun.

Dandai Bingyun was also startled. She had not expected these two Yiren to be so foolish. Did they not see that she possessed Mid Nascent Soul strength? As she hesitated slightly, Lei Dong's voice reached her ears:

"Bingyun, you must strike ruthlessly. You must not show any mercy."

Lei Dong had witnessed everything just now. Although he was quite angered by the Yiren, he also felt that Dandai Bingyun was not ruthless enough. Since the opponents had made it clear they would not let the matter drop, she should have directly struck to kill. A race that refused to listen to reason would never back down due to another's forbearance. Being overly cautious of the forces behind them would only tie her hands and encourage them further.

Moreover, Lei Dong was certain that this was the Yecha Sea, the territory of the Yecha King. A mighty Deity Transformation expert would never tolerate a group of Yiren brazenly sealing off his sea territory. It was even more impossible for him to let this matter slide quietly; otherwise, the Yishen Race would only push their boundaries further!

Dandai Bingyun flicked her fingers twice, neutralizing the opponents' attacks. At this moment, a fierce killing intent appeared in her eyes. Floating in the air, her ancient zither manifested. With her delicate hands playing a rapid melody, the sound waves transformed into lotus-like sword qi that condensed into a massive sword, slashing toward the male Yiren.

Dandai Bingyun's Qinglian Sword Melody was extremely demanding of one's cultivation aptitude. Even within the Tianyin Inner Palace, not many had mastered this technique. However, its power was extraordinary. Back when Lei Dong fought her, he was forced to use the first form of the Tianma Transformation, Peerless Under Heaven, before barely managing to match her.

Today, unleashing the Qinglian Sword Melody with her Mid Nascent Soul strength, its ferocious and domineering power was something even Late Nascent Soul cultivators would not dare meet head-on. Let alone a Yiren whose strength was only at the Early Stage.

The male Yiren wished to dodge, but the oppressive aura of the massive sword locked onto him completely. In an instant, a green flying sword, moving as fast as a fleeting shadow, cleaved him in two, shattering all his protective shields. The male Yiren's Nascent Soul could not escape either, directly shredded by the violent Qinglian sword qi. This truly fulfilled Dandai Bingyun's earlier threat to "destroy your body and soul."

The female Yiren was shocked. She had not expected the opponent to actually dare strike at the Yishen Race, and with such ruthless efficiency. Moreover, this mortal woman was truly terrifying. The female Yiren hastily spread her wings to flee. But the Hongluan carrying Lei Dong was already prepared, swooping to her side and unleashing a blast of Fentian Blazing Flame that distorted the very air.

Unable to escape in time, the female Yiren was engulfed in the sea of fire, activating a pure white Guangming Shield. But as she tried to flee, she was forced back by a powerful wall of heat.

Today, Hongluan was no pushover either. Having spent so much time with Dandai Bingyun in the Biba Secret Realm, experiencing numerous battles and gaining significant strength, her cultivation was now comparable to Dandai Bingyun's, being a Mid-grade shapeshifted beast with her own Natal True Fire. Although she could not kill the female Yiren instantly, given a bit of time, she could still refine her.

However, there was no time for Hongluan to slowly refine her. After Dandai Bingyun dealt with one, her delicate fingers flew across the zither, unleashing waves of sound like sharp blades that relentlessly bombarded the female Yiren's wings. Within just two or three breaths, the Guangming Shield on her wings was shattered.

Deprived of her shield, the female Yiren was like someone stripped of her clothes, unable to withstand Hongluan's True Fire inherited from the Phoenix lineage. Within a few breaths, she was burned to a pile of ashes.

From start to finish, resolving the two Yiren took barely a dozen breaths. But the male Yiren had mentioned some Guangming King A Jia Na; was he indeed a Deity Transformation expert of the Yishen Race? If there were no Deity Transformation expert backing them, how would these Yiren dare run amok in the Yecha King's territory?

Nevertheless, seeing Dandai Bingyun effortlessly deal with two Early Nascent Soul Yiren left Lei Dong somewhat dumbfounded. Formidable, truly too formidable. Although Dandai Bingyun was the stronger party, and a Mid Nascent Soul defeating two Early Nascent Souls was expected, winning with such thunderous momentum was still astonishing.

Even at his peak, Lei Dong could slay two Early Nascent Soul cultivators, but he would have to rely on ghost horde tactics to wear them down, unable to do so with such swiftness.

Her methods were so formidable that she could likely hold her own against an ordinary Late Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, just as the two prepared to retreat, an overwhelming aura violently surged toward them.

At the same time, an angry female voice barked:

"How audacious! To dare slay the elites of my race, go to your deaths! Spear of Judgment!"
