Chapter 173: Guardian Thunder Lion
At this moment, in Elder Ye's eyes, Su Zhan's pupils had transformed into a swirling blood-red vortex. The vortex rotated slowly, gradually pulling his mental consciousness toward it.
Elder Ye's head felt like his head was about to split open, yet he couldn't even speak a word!
He couldn't even close his eyes or shift his gaze away.
This feeling was like being in the darkness of night when an extremely terrifying and hideous ghostly face suddenly appears in front of you. You're terrified, but you've lost control of your body and can only watch as it devours you!
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
The horror Elder Ye was experiencing was at least thirty times stronger than any ghostly face. Under this immense fear, despite being a Fish-Dragon Realm warrior, he couldn't help but tremble all over, even wetting his pants.
Overwhelmed by horror, he tried to beg for mercy, but he couldn't utter a word.
Three seconds later, the pale blue light in Elder Ye's eyes faded, his gaze turned vacant, his face frozen in an expression of horror, and his body collapsed backward.
"Elder Ye!"
Lin Hao rushed over in a panic, after a brief examination, his expression turned extremely fearful, "Elder Ye is dead!"
"Dead? How is that possible!"
"Wasn't Elder Ye going to use his visual technique to kill this Su Zhan? How, how did he end up being killed by him instead?!"
"He died from just a glance! Who is this guy anyway!"
"So terrifying! Too terrifying!"
Panicked voices echoed one after another.
The warriors at the Martial Master Realm were pale with fear, trembling and backing away from Su Zhan, fearing that he might just look at them and kill them!
On the square, the eight inner disciples who maintained order also witnessed this scene.
They were bewildered for about a second, and then all scattered and fled!
Just as Lin Hao was about to escape, he suddenly remembered the minor conflict he had with Su Zhan earlier. Trembling, he turned around and knelt down.
"S-Sir Su, it was my mistake, a grave error of judgment. I beg you, a person of your magnanimity, spare my wretched life!"
"I am the only son under my father's knee. I-I still need to care for my parents in their old age!"
"I am already engaged, about to start a family and a career. I implore you, Sir Su, for the sake of these considerations, spare my wretched life!"
Lin Hao's voice quivered as he pleaded repeatedly.
But Su Zhan didn't even glance at him. His gaze was fixed on the Elder Ye who had been killed by his Blood Pupil Technique , his face showing a hint of surprise.
He hadn't expected the Blood Pupil Technique to be even more powerful than he had imagined, actually directly killing Elder Ye!
Under normal circumstances, if someone couldn't withstand a mental attack, they would become a simpleton and wouldn't die physically. After all, most psychic arts didn't have the true ability to extinguish a soul; they only impacted the mental consciousness.
Yet this demonic clan pupil technique actually had the ability to directly kill!
Could it be that this eye art wasn't purely a mental attack? Doubts arose in Su Zhan's mind.
Pupil techniques came in various forms, some targeting the mental consciousness, while others used various other spiritual abilities for attacks. He wasn't very knowledgeable about these matters. Although he was puzzled at the moment, he could only temporarily set those thoughts aside.
Killing Elder Ye with just a glance, Su Zhan didn't display a triumphant smile. Instead, he furrowed his brow slightly.
According to his original plan, he had only wanted to use the Blood Pupil Technique to intimidate this person and severely damage his mental consciousness. It was also an opportunity to test the power of the newly practiced Blood Pupil Technique.
But he hadn't anticipated that this person's mental strength was so weak. To die from just a glance
Now, the situation was different. With an elder dead, it was likely to quickly alert that Saint Patriarch. In that case, he could just wait here.
With these thoughts, Su Zhan's furrowed brow gradually relaxed.
As for the death of Elder Ye, he didn't feel anything unusual about it. He had only asked a question, and this person shouldn't have resorted to direct action even if he was unwilling to help.
Moreover, that chilly eye technique, while useless against him, would leave others in a state of confusion, barely clinging to life. Given the circumstances, if someone died, they could only blame themselves.
Su Zhan used his power to remotely retrieve the storage ring from Elder Ye's finger, and then turned his gaze toward Lin Hao, who was trembling and begging for mercy through tears.
"Get lost." He uttered two words, then didn't bother to look at him any longer. This person wasn't worth his attention.
"Thank you, Sir Su, for sparing my life!" Lin Hao felt as though he had been granted a reprieve, and he turned and ran.
Thump!
Due to his extreme panic, he stumbled upon turning around and fell to the ground. Despite that, not pausing for even a second, he quickly got up and fled in a sorry state.
Little Cloud Mountain.
On the spacious square, only Su Zhan remained.
Great Hall of the Main Peak, Beast Taming Mountain.
The gaze of the Beast Taming Mountain's Sect Master fell upon the disciple who was reporting in a panicked state below. After listening to his account, the Sect Master's face turned red with anger!
"Audacious! My Beast Taming Mountain reigns supreme within a radius of thirty thousand miles! How dare someone cause trouble in my Beast Taming Mountain?!"
After his anger subsided, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes. "Hmm? Su Zhan, Su Zhan Why does this name sound somewhat familiar?"
"Sect Master! This is the same Su Zhan who killed three of our Elders at the Void Spirit Lake!"
A Half-Saint level elder of Beast Taming Mountain, Feng Xu, flashed a cold light in his eyes and angrily said, "Back then, the Sect Master didn't pursue this person's responsibility due to the faults of those elders. I never thought he would dare to cause trouble in our Beast Taming Mountain on his own accord! Sect Master, if this person isn't killed, how can our Beast Taming Mountain save face?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately garnered support.
Of course, there were also those who opposed.
"Elder Feng, could it be that you're trying to use the power of the sect to seek revenge for your deceased nephew, Feng Yue?"
Another Half-Saint elder calmly said, "Sect Master, I believe it would be better to have a proper talk with that person. If he acknowledges his mistake and apologizes, we can let it go."
The Sect Master of Beast Taming Mountain, recalling the incident involving Su Zhan, furrowed his brows.
"This Su Zhan is rumored to be the number one figure below the Saint level. If we clash with him, our Beast Taming Mountain might pay a heavy price. Perhaps it's better to follow Elder Yun's suggestion."
"Your wisdom is evident, Sect Master!" The Elder who had spoken earlier, Yun Chang, bowed respectfully.
Feng Xu was displeased. "But what if that Su fellow refuses to show respect and apologize? Are we just going to let it slide? What about the dignity of our sect? What about our reputation?!"
This time, Yun Chang didn't oppose further and said, "Those words are not entirely wrong. While we genuinely seek reconciliation, this Su Zhan might not be willing to back down and apologize. Therefore, we need enough strength to intimidate him, forcing him to yield. However, we must ensure that a major conflict is avoided, and both sides can save some face. That would be the best approach."
"If that's the case"
The Sect Master of Beast Taming Mountain pondered for a moment, then extended his hand, conjuring a jade token and tossing it to Yun Chang. He said, "Go with the Guardian Thunder Lion!"
"The Thunder Lion has been on par with Half-Saint level human cultivators for a hundred years. Now, after a century has passed, it has become stronger than most Half-Saints. Along with you and Elder Feng, even if Su Zhan can truly suppress Half-Saints as rumored, he won't stand a chance against the three of you!"
