Although Ian Song destroyed more than half of the Prime One Church's branch altars and wiped out over a hundred Fusion realm experts, none of those experts were late-stage Fusion. Plus, he wasn't acting alone—he had dozens of other Fusion realm allies helping him.
Moreover, Ian was once captured alive by a late-stage Fusion elder of the Prime One Church and thrown into the Demon Prison. No one knows how he managed to escape, but in their eyes, it's certain his strength doesn't exceed late Fusion.
Even if his realm has now broken through to early Fusion, his combat power at best only matches late Fusion.
All three of them have been at late Fusion for many years, and their strength surpasses even the elder who once captured Ian Song.
Three against one!
The odds of capturing him are over ninety-nine percent!
Besides, they don't believe Ian Song's strength can rival late Fusion.
"Second Fool, is that you?" Lena Ling called out excitedly.
"Senior sister, it's me. Sorry I'm late—I made you all worry!" Ian Song said apologetically.
Hearing this, Lena Ling couldn't help but smile. "That's wonderful! I never thought I'd see you again. It's a shame I won't get to taste your homemade wine anymore!"
Ian Song said softly, "No worries. In a bit, I'll take you somewhere, and you can drink as much fine wine as you want!"
"With those words, I'm already satisfied," Lena Ling replied.
Suddenly, Lena Ling's expression changed sharply and she urged, "Second Fool, you need to leave, don't worry about us! These three are terrifying—even Senior Azure died at their hands!"
"Relax, I'll get all of you out of here safely!" Ian Song said confidently.
Abbess Yvonne, looking pale and exhausted, said gravely, "Skyler Ling, don't be reckless. Even if you've broken through to Fusion, you're still no match for them. If you get the chance, I hope you'll rebuild the Jade Maiden Sect!"
"That's right, Skyler Ling. As long as you survive, our Jade Maiden Sect's legacy will live on!" Lana Snow added, her face tinged with sorrow.
"Second Fool, Senior Azure is gone. You have to avenge her someday!" Leah Ling suddenly spoke up, her words reminding her of all the good Senior Azure had done. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
Listening to the Jade Maiden Sect crowd, Ian Song was speechless. Did they really have so little faith in him?
"Enough! That's all that needs to be said. Now shut up, all of you!" one of the black-clothed leaders sneered, his gaze and aura locking onto Ian Song. If Ian so much as twitched, the leader would attack instantly.
"Ian Song, you little thief! You've been running for two years, and now you've finally fallen into our hands. Are you going to surrender, or do we have to capture you ourselves?"
Hearing this, Ian Song slowly turned his head, his eyes icy cold as he stared at the leader. His voice was just as frigid: "I was willing to let things go for Tianluo's sake, but since you dared to touch the Jade Maiden Sect, I won't spare a single one of you from the Prime One Church!"
"Ha!"
Another black-clothed leader couldn't help but burst out laughing, staring at Ian Song with contempt. "Little thief, you sure talk big! You're barely hanging on, yet you dare to threaten the entire Prime One Church!"
"You don't believe me?" Ian Song asked.
"It's not that I don't believe you—it's that you're just too ridiculous!" the leader replied with a laugh and a shake of his head.
Right then, Ian Song suddenly moved.
The instant he moved, all three black-clothed leaders were startled. What truly terrified them was that none of them could track Ian Song's movements.
"How can this little thief be so fast?"
Just as that thought crossed their minds, Ian Song's fist smashed down on one leader's head. A surge of immortal yuan force burst forth, piercing through the leader's protective true essence and slamming into his skull.
The next moment—
With a sickening splat, the leader's head exploded like a watermelon.
At the same time, Ian Song had already returned to his original spot and calmly asked the black-clothed leader, "Do you believe me now?"
You... how did you do that?
The black-clothed leader was dumbstruck, barely able to speak. It was terrifying—just too terrifying. To punch apart a late Fusion expert with a single blow, even early Tribulation cultivators couldn't do that, could they?
The other black-clothed leader stared blankly at the headless corpse as it collapsed. In the next instant, a wave of terror surged from his heart, instantly freezing his body and turning his hands and feet cold. All he wanted was to escape.
Everyone in the Jade Maiden Sect was completely stunned.
How could such a terrifying expert be blasted apart with a single punch by Skyler Ling (Second Fool)? Was this even possible, or were they just seeing things?
S-S-Second Fool, how did you do that?
After a long moment, Lena Ling finally asked in a daze.
I told you I'd get you out of here safely, and I meant it! Ian Song smiled at the Jade Maiden Sect women.
At that moment—
The two remaining black-clothed leaders moved, their bodies flickering as they tried to teleport away.
Hmph! Think you can escape? Stay right here!
Ian Song snorted coldly and hurled both fists forward.
In an instant, his fists transformed into two blazing golden miniature suns that shot out at incredible speed.
No!
Don't kill me, I surrender!
The two black-clothed leaders screamed in terror and unwillingness, but it was too late. The two fist-lights instantly engulfed their figures, vaporizing their bodies into nothingness.
When the fist-lights faded, there was nothing left where they had stood.
Seeing this, the Jade Maiden Sect women stared with mouths agape and eyes wide, their emotions surging to the extreme.
After a long moment, Abbess Yvonne asked softly, "Skyler Ling, did you eat some kind of immortal pill? How did you become so powerful?"
Ian Song just smiled, sent out a beam of Life Divine Light, and instantly healed her wounds.
Alright, now I'll take you all somewhere safe!
With a wave of his hand, Ian Song swept up all two hundred Jade Maiden Sect members and teleported them away.
Less than half a quarter-hour after they left, four more black-clothed leaders appeared in the area. Seeing a body still alive but soulless, and another headless corpse, their faces turned ugly.
After searching the surroundings, they concluded that their other two companions had also died here.
Now that he's reached the Fusion realm, Ian Song's Greater Teleportation technique covers an even wider range. Even with over two hundred people, he could move about fifty thousand miles in one go; if alone, he could travel more than sixty thousand miles.
So, in less than a quarter-hour, he brought the Jade Maiden Sect members back to his estate.
Alright, we're here!
Ian Song withdrew his immortal yuan force.
Where is this? How is the spiritual energy here so rich?' Abbess Yvonne asked in surprise, realizing that the energy here was at least a hundred times greater than at the Jade Maiden Sect.
This is my home—and from now on, it's everyone's home!' Ian Song said with a smile.
