Moreover, those who have been poisoned by his Soul-Devouring Bone-Bone Poison, even those at the peak of the Heavenly Gang Realm, are unlikely to escape death.
Zhang Yun, incredibly, detoxified himself!
This greatly surprised Zhang Tiangu, who was determined to come and see for himself.
Just as the scout had said, Zhang Yun was still full of energy and lively, showing no signs of being poisoned.
It seems that Zhang Yun's secrets are far more complex than they appear on the surface.
However, no matter what secrets Zhang Yun is hiding, he must die today.
One reason was that Zhang Tiangu wanted to take possession of Zhang Yun's belongings after his death, and the other was naturally to avenge his younger brother, Zhang Zigu.
Zhang Yun raised his eyes and looked at the figure in the void. Now he was even more convinced that Zhang Tiangu and Zhang Zigu must be related, and most likely they were brothers.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhang Tiangu took the opportunity to settle personal scores.
"I won't repeat the crimes Zhang Yun committed, kill him!"
Zhang Tiangu didn't waste a single word. As soon as his cold voice fell, dark clouds rolled in from the sky, obscuring the sun. The originally bright space instantly became gloomy and dim, causing everyone's pupils to contract slightly.
As expected of the personal disciple of the Lord of Jianglan Holy Temple, Zhang Tiangu's command caused the world to change color!
"How dare you!"
Just then, a palm print burst forth from the sky in an instant. In that instant, the gray-robed old man wearing a bamboo hat, who was somewhat inconspicuous behind Zhang Tiangu, let out a muffled groan as he felt a terrifying shockwave.
At this moment, Gong Qi took a step forward and appeared above Zhang Yun and the other two. A powerful and vast pressure immediately spread out, shocking the entire scene. Some people with low cultivation levels even turned pale and bloodless, feeling their hearts and courage shattered, their bodies unable to obey their commands, and unable to move an inch.
"Is this the power of a Star Realm expert?"
Looking at Gong Qi, who was protecting Zhang Yun with such force and domineering manner, even Qin Wuyai couldn't help but sigh.
The Qin royal family has not produced a Star Realm expert for hundreds of years, and has always been overshadowed by those countries that possess Star Realm experts.
"Kid, what do you want?"
Gong Qi frowned slightly and said, "Considering you are my brother's disciple, I will not make things difficult for you today. You may leave."
His attitude was clear and simple: he wanted to protect his own.
In the Brocade Valley, many people were watching Zhang Yun. At this moment, he stood opposite Zhang Tiangu, and the light emanating from him was extremely dazzling. Qin Wuyai, Jian Chenxin, and Xiang Wuji all became mere foils.
"I'm sure you know, Uncle, that Zhang Yun's cultivation level far exceeds the limits set by the Hunting Competition. However, this is not a crime punishable by death."
"My Jianglan Temple has been hosting the hunting competition for many years, and it has always gone smoothly. Very few people dare to break the rules we have set."
"Among these rules, there is one prohibition against intentional killing. Zhang Yun not only violated this taboo by killing not only one person, but also one of the referees of this competition. This is simply a contempt for the authority of my Jianglan Holy Temple."
“Uncle-Master, it’s not that I’m not giving you face, but Zhang Yun is extremely rebellious. If this boy isn’t eliminated, our Jianglan Holy Temple will surely lose face.”
"Please put the bigger picture first, Uncle. I will personally visit you to apologize when the time comes."
Zhang Tiangu's expression was solemn, and his words were righteous and forceful, seemingly leaving no room for rebuttal.
“Zhang Yun broke the rules and killed someone, which is indeed true. If he is not punished, it will be a loss of face for the Jianglan Holy Temple. That’s not wrong.”
Somewhat surprisingly, Gong Qi, who is known for being fiercely protective of his own, unexpectedly agreed with Zhang Tiangu's point of view.
So, Gong Liu's connection really played a big role?
Just as this thought arose in everyone's mind, an invisible wave of energy, like a sea wave, suddenly rose in the void and rushed toward Zhang Tiangu's location with lightning speed, like an ancient sea beast poking its head out of the sea and revealing cold, sharp fangs.
"not good!"
The old man in the straw hat frowned, and his aged figure stood in front of Zhang Tiangu without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a "poof" sound, and the old man in the straw hat spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as paper, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
Prior to this, they all knew that although the gray-robed old man wearing a bamboo hat had kept a low profile from beginning to end, he was the strongest among Zhang Tiangu's group and a hidden Star Realm expert.
However, this Star Realm expert had been suppressed by Gong Qi from the very beginning, and now, he was severely injured by Gong Qi's casual strike.
The difference between the Star Realm and the Star Realm can be so great.
If Gong Qi really wanted to make a move, he could easily crush the old man in the bamboo hat into dust!
However, what's truly chilling is that Gong Qi's target just now wasn't the old man in the bamboo hat, but Zhang Tiangu, the personal disciple of his brother Gong Liu!
It should be noted that the old man in the bamboo hat, being at the Star Realm, had already coughed up blood after withstanding Gong Qi's previous attack. If the old man in the bamboo hat had not intervened immediately, the outcome would have been obvious: Zhang Tiangu would have been the one to die.
It is widely rumored in the cultivation world that Gong Qi has an excellent relationship with his six older brothers and sisters. It is also said that Gong Qi is eccentric and unconventional, acting only according to his own whims and without any taboos.
Today, upon meeting her, Gong Qi didn't even give face to her brother Gong Liu; truly living up to her reputation. "My body contains countless worlds..."

"Old Yu, are you alright?" Zhang Tiangu's eyebrows slowly furrowed, and his expression froze. He never expected that Gong Qi would kill him without hesitation.
This also shows that in Gong Qi's eyes, his junior apprentice was worthless.
"I'm fine, don't worry, cough cough cough..."
As he spoke, the old man in the straw hat coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and anyone could see that his injuries were indeed quite serious.
