<h4>Chapter 1186 - Punishment</h4>


    Yu Ziqian had never been so humiliated in all his life. "I didn''t think that a beauty like her would actually want the Gan family... no, I mean the Yu family to go extinct! I won''t agree, and neither will the sect nor my ancestors! The Ultimate Pill God won''t allow it either!"


    The blue-haired burly men standing in front of him shot him teasing nces. One of them even brought out a small de and started whistling, enraging Yu Ziqian even further. "Fuck it. I''ll castrate you now once and for all!"


    This was utter and shameless humiliation. "Hehe... press him down and prepare to exact punishment."


    The three-centimeter-long de crept closer and closer to Yu Ziqian as he was surrounded by a group of men. Just as he let out cold sweat, they leapt toward him, a hulking mass of muscles.


    "Hehe." The sight almost made Lan Feilin want to puke. "How could someone evenpare his ilk to people on my level?"


    There were a few hundred other disciples near the Silverdragon Pce who had heard of Yu Ziqian, though they were rather surprised to see him in such a pitiful state.


    "He deserves it for faking it the whole time."


    "Yeah. As they say, the higher you climb, the harder you fall."


    None of them sympathized with him. He had been the target of envy from the ess he had to so much of their cultivation resources.


    "So he was a weakling after all. The Azuresoul Pce really messed up this time."


    "What a bunch of idiots."


    Hearing that, Yu Ziqian''s expression turned darker. This was the first time he felt how cold the world was. Then again, when he was at his lowest, even his own junior Mo Yuling wouldn''t give him the time of day, let alone others. Only Tianming had bothered toe save him.


    "Halt!" he called out to Tianming.


    "What''s wrong?" Tianming asked.


    "Stand aside! I want to show off!" Yu Ziqian roared and opened his arms wide. His cry was so loud that all of the Blueblood Starocean disciples froze. "Damn you, pill recession phase!"


    Even though he was loud, his body didn''t appear to change much. Seeing that, the burly menughed and continued approaching. Right then, the power in Yu Ziqian''s body seemed to have been unlocked and burst forth immediately with an eerie sound. A wave of ck astralforce burst forth with terrifying force, sending the men flying. His body continued to let out sounds of explosions. After roughly a month, his pill recession phase was finally over. Even though he didn''t know when it would return, he could at least let loose for now.


    "Hahahahaha!" He waved his arms around andughed wildly.


    The disciples he sent flying struggled to get up and looked at him with a shocked expression, something Yu Ziqian relished. "Sister Lin, what''s going on?"


    The pce waspletely silent save for Yu Ziqian''s manicughter as he felt the pleasure of his power returning. Lan Feilin opened her mouth slightly in shock. She had received quite a lot of reports about Yu Ziqian''s ipetence, which were further corroborated by his performance in the Voidsky Realm. She was speechless at the thought that all of it could be untrue. If what Yu Ziqian had just done was all part of an act, then he was a genius actor. Yet, he really did seem to have power. What was going on?


    "What a pointless struggle. Let me handle him. You guys should focus on taking those three down," Lan Feilin coldly said. Without another word, she attacked Yu Ziqian.


    Yu Ziqian grandly waved and said, "Junior Brother Li, I shall take care of these small fries. You should take that weapon without holding back!"


    "Are you serious?" That was a pleasant surprise. He had decided to leave, yet Yu Ziqian suddenly grew powerful again and even offered to help. This way, Tianming wouldn''t have to give up on the Lifesteal Silverdragon!


    "Save your words forter. For now, just watch and learn," Yu Ziqian said.


    "Showoff...." Tianming decided to do his best to obtain the artifact. "Feng, Xiaoxiao, I need your help!"


    Not only did Tianming not retreat like he had nned, he charged into the group of Blueblood Starocean disciples, unleashing all four of his beasts in one go. Lan Huang immediately knocked quite a few people off their feet. Roughly twenty disciples came to stop Tianming, leaving a few hundred others surrounding the pce. It wasn''t that the rest didn''t want to fight, but that they were simply waiting for someone to be the first to engage, and now, Tianming had taken the initiative. His beasts unleashed all manners of abilities, sting the entire area.


    Caught off guard, the twenty-plus disciples weren''t able to stop him, but much of it was thanks to Xiaoxiao and Lingfeng. Lingfeng had used Infernal Soul Curse on their totems, sending a ck ming ball mming into them and immediately causing most of the totems to shriek in pain before returning to their respective bane rings. The Archaionfiend also put in quite a bit of effort, charging in for a melee alongside Lan Huang with its huge body sparking with blood lightning. Xiaoxiao was mounted on its neck with her bow drawn, using Ninebolt Inferno in coordination with the beast''s attacks. The lightning arrows amplified the blood lightning of the Archaionfiend, piercing a few imperial star formations. The eliminated disciples were instantly whisked away to who-knows-where.


    "Stop him!" someone cried.


    Lingfeng mmed his staff into the ground. It began to grow in size and length until it reached the top of the pce and was about ten meters thick. The Evil Suppression Formation activated and enveloped Tianming and the rest within it and the darkness immediately interfered with the vision of the Blueblood Starocean disciples. Then, Tianming used the Imperealm Sword Formation and split his sword into two, one for attack and the other for defense. He made his way to the Millionde Formation and Xian Xian took root there with its back facing the formation and its front facing the iing enemies.


    "I need you to buy me some time."
