Chapter 106: A Carefree Completion of Sin

As the two of them laughed and talked, behind them, Hu Cuishan fiercely pursued, riding a three-headed monstrous bird. “Boss, the woman behind you is catching up. What should we do? Shall I strike and swallow them?” Judas’s warning rang in his ear. Leng Tian’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said to Li Dongqing, “Brother Li, I’ll escort you to a place. Michael will accompany you.”

“Rest?” Li Dongqing was puzzled. He did not understand what Leng Tian meant by rest, nor where in this vast icy sea there could be a place to rest.

“Brother Li, don’t resist. Rest assured, this is my realm; it’s very safe.” Seeing Li Dongqing’s confusion, Leng Tian did not explain further. A crimson glow flashed in his dantian as he enveloped Li Dongqing and the golden dragon Michael into the Purgatory.

Judas suddenly appeared, using his own power to keep Leng Tian suspended midair.

Hu Cuishan, controlling the three-headed monster bird, stopped about a hundred meters from Leng Tian, her eyes flickering with uncertainty as she stared at him. Yet inside, she was deeply shocked. She had clearly seen the flash of crimson light from afar just moments ago, and how Li Dongqing and the golden dragon vanished without a trace. Even the two elder cultivators nearby had no idea how they disappeared.

“You brat, impressive! I was really curious how you got rid of that useless one. You must be carrying some precious treasure! Elders, what are you waiting for? Capture him!” Hu Cuishan’s mind was consumed with the desire to discover what artifact Leng Tian had used to hide a living man and a golden dragon so thoroughly.

No sooner had she given the order than the two elder cultivators flew to flank Leng Tian, joining Hu Cuishan in encircling him tightly, blocking any chance of retreat.

Leng Tian smiled faintly, casting a casual glance at the two elders, but inside, murderous intent stirred. With his current abilities, he need not worry about these elders. Judas alone could annihilate them; once the thousands of Devouring Yuan Worms in the Purgatory were unleashed, none of these three could escape.

“You three think you can capture me? You might just be in for a surprise, hehe…” Leng Tian laughed comfortably, not taking them seriously in the slightest.

“What arrogance, brat! With only a Heavenly Rank cultivation, flying through the void by relying on an ancient treasure—do you really think you can escape?” The bald elder clad in black on the left flashed a murderous gleam in his eyes and launched a golden punch at Leng Tian.

Leng Tian’s eyes flickered with mockery as he countered with a punch of his own. Their blows collided with a muffled explosion; the elder’s golden punch shattered, while Leng Tian stood unmoved, calmly withdrawing his fist and extending his middle finger at the bald elder with disdain. “Too weak…”

“Boss, just let me take action and swallow their souls. Problem solved!” Judas’s voice echoed in Leng Tian’s mind, clearly impatient.

“No rush. Let’s have a little fun with them first.” Leng Tian sneered contemptuously at Hu Cuishan, noticing the elder’s change in expression. “You really bring out such trash? I think you should take them back and stop embarrassing yourselves.”

“You…” Seeing the elder’s failed attack and hearing Leng Tian’s cold mockery, Hu Cuishan’s brows furrowed fiercely, and she snapped, “Elders, don’t waste words with him! Attack together and capture him! Let me show you how I handle him!”

The two elders lowered their status and simultaneously attacked Leng Tian. The elder on the left unleashed twin golden punches, each trailing radiant golden light, aiming straight for Leng Tian’s chest. The elder on the right’s hands shimmered as he donned black gloves resembling eagle claws, black energy pulsing as he struck with two massive black claws targeting Leng Tian’s shoulders.

Both were Heavenly Rank cultivators, their attacks swift as lightning and thunder, each strike accompanied by explosive sounds. A mocking gleam flashed in Leng Tian’s eyes as his body flickered and vanished from the spot, reappearing behind the bald elder. Judas's ability to transform illusion into reality was akin to teleportation—though it only worked effectively within a certain spatial range.

“Elder Wang, watch your back!” Hu Cuishan, watching from afar, was shocked to see Leng Tian suddenly appear behind the bald elder and shouted a warning.

The bald elder’s face paled. His senses could not detect how Leng Tian moved; it was as if half his spiritual perception vanished into thin air. The two golden punches struck empty space and collided with the other elder’s attack, causing a massive energy wave that dissipated a white cloud overhead into mist.

Heeding Hu Cuishan’s warning, the bald elder sensed Leng Tian behind him and revealed a playful smile as crimson golden aura surged through his body, shielding his back.

Leng Tian, still smiling, clenched his right fist wrapped in gold and white aura and slammed it heavily into the elder’s back. The speed of both was lightning fast. Observing the elder only releasing his protective aura, a glint of amusement passed over Leng Tian’s face.

“Boom!”

While one did not dodge or defend, the other struck with full force. The crimson golden aura lasted only a breath before shattering under Leng Tian’s golden-white fist, which struck solidly. The bald elder’s face flushed crimson; blood spewed from his mouth as he was flung backward through the air.

Before Leng Tian could retract his fist, two black claw strikes descended from above. Witnessing the bald elder’s protective aura shattered by a single punch, the force of the attack startled Leng Tian, intensifying his assault. He knew well the tremendous power behind that punch. His eyes grew serious.

The elder’s attacks were fast and fierce. Any ordinary Heavenly Rank warrior would have died instantly, but Leng Tian was no ordinary cultivator. Though he had yet to ascend to the Immortal Rank, he was far stronger than most Immortal Rank warriors.

With one punch, he sent the bald elder flying and severely wounded him. Meanwhile, the other elder’s attack descended upon Leng Tian’s head. Leng Tian remained calm. As the black claws neared his hair, he commanded Judas, and his figure vanished again, reappearing above the elder.

“Second uncle, watch above!” Hu Cuishan’s face turned ashen. She had never expected Leng Tian to be so formidable. Even two Immortal Rank warriors working together could not hurt him, while one of them was gravely injured by his strike. Now her second uncle was in danger. Anxiously, she urged her three-headed monster bird forward, trying to pressure Leng Tian and buy time for her uncle’s counterattack.

Her plan was good, and the monster bird was incredibly fast. But Leng Tian’s assault allowed no chance for rescue. His right leg, now shimmering with platinum and white aura, rose high and struck toward the elder’s waist.

As Leng Tian vanished, the elder sensed danger and swiftly cloaked himself in black aura, stepping forward in the void with lightning speed, dodging the strike.

But the battle was far from over. The elder’s reflexes were impeccable, prepared for Leng Tian’s relentless assault. Yet Leng Tian’s next attack came swiftly—a massive golden fist, crackling with overwhelming force, erupted from thin air and smashed into the elder’s chest.

The sound of black aura shattering and bones breaking reached Hu Cuishan’s ears. “Second uncle…” She missed the strike as the elder was slammed by the punch, blood spewing as he was gravely wounded.

Despite his injuries, the elder remained combat-capable. As Leng Tian’s fist struck his chest, he countered with a spectral black claw from his left hand, aiming swiftly at Leng Tian’s head.

Leng Tian’s eyes narrowed, surprised by the sudden counterattack. Though swift as lightning, he remained unconcerned, letting the blow come. Simultaneously, his platinum-white right foot rose, kicking toward the elder’s groin.

“Die, brat!” The bald elder, severely wounded, suppressed his pain and struck at Leng Tian’s waist with his right foot. Two attacks were imminent; if Leng Tian failed to evade, he would suffer serious harm.

In this critical moment, Leng Tian smiled. His kicking attack did not falter, heading straight for the elder’s groin. Anticipating the black claw strike, Leng Tian first shielded his head with a double-layered platinum-white aura, then unleashed the Three-Color Divine Aura. Confident in his dual defense, he was prepared to respond even if one layer was broken.

Judas intercepted the bald elder’s strike. Following Leng Tian’s command, Judas burst forth from within Leng Tian’s body with a roar, swiftly entering the elder’s body.

The sudden intrusion drastically changed the bald elder’s expression. Pain overtook him, forcing him to cease his attack on Leng Tian. Clutching his head, he wailed in agony, frantically darting through the air like a headless fly.

Hu Cuishan was stunned by the elder’s sudden transformation, unsure of what had occurred. She urged the three-headed monster bird toward him, but before she could act, the elder let out a howl, limbs stiffened, and he plummeted from the sky, life force completely extinguished.

“How is this possible? Dead… really dead…” Hu Cuishan truly sensed the elder’s life force vanish within moments. The blow struck her deeply, leaving her dazed and forgetting to aid the other elder.

A loud bang resonated as Leng Tian’s external platinum-white aura was shattered by the black claw strike, which then collided with the Three-Color Divine Aura, causing a recoil that sent him flying. Leng Tian’s kick connected with the other elder’s groin, splattering blood midair.

The elder screamed in agony, but before he could feel the pain, Leng Tian’s fist smashed his skull, sending the corpse tumbling down.

“Second uncle…” Seeing her other uncle meet the same fate, Hu Cuishan’s eyes turned bloodshot. Riding the three-headed monster bird, she charged toward Leng Tian, seemingly ready to fight to the death.

Suspended midair by Judas, Leng Tian coldly watched Hu Cuishan’s fierce charge and said, “You handle the monster bird. Don’t harm the woman—just knock her out.”

“Got it…” Judas readily agreed, baring his fangs and claws as he pounced on the monster bird and Hu Cuishan. After Judas moved out, Leng Tian released the golden dragon Michael, standing upon the giant beast to watch Judas’s performance.
