He madly drove his mental energy, spreading out his perception and activating the Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes. Only by doing this could he barely manage to track Aaron Verdant's speed.

"Fall back quickly!"

Silvon grabbed Glacien and Wilford by their collars and directly threw them behind him.

But the very next second, Aaron Verdant arrived.

Silvon condensed icy divine power in his palm and violently thrust it forward. A massive pattern instantly appeared and spun rapidly.

A colossal icy palm, brimming with terrifying divine power, rushed out.

Aaron Verdant glanced back at it and merely smiled disdainfully. With a flick of his joined fingers, a terrifying streak of sword intent tore directly through space, cleanly slicing the massive icy palm in half at the waist!

The next second, Aaron Verdant appeared behind Glacien and Wilford.

They couldn't even see his movements clearly.

Their bodies merely instinctively sensed a massive crisis. A chilling sensation rushed from the soles of their feet straight to their hearts.

The two wanted to run, but their bodies completely refused to obey. Their legs felt as heavy as lead, unable to move a single inch.

A chill descended upon the tops of their heads.

Aaron Verdant had already appeared behind them, extending his hands and grabbing them by their skulls.

Glacien and Wilford were hoisted into mid-air like little chicks, completely unable to move.

Terrifying divine power flooded into their bodies, instantly suppressing all their strength. Their entire bodies went numb and limp, like soft rubber dolls.

"Aaron Verdant! Stop!"

Silvon roared furiously. He clenched his fists, nearly crushing his teeths.

Aaron Verdant was far stronger than he had imagined.

He knew their earlier exchange was merely a probe. But he hadn't expected Aaron Verdant to have hidden so much of his strength.

Although they were both Emperor Realm experts, their combat power was simply not on the same level!

"Stop?"

"Why should I stop? Do these two pieces of trash actually dare to yell and scream at this Venerable?"

"Truly lacking all manners and respect for elders!" Aaron Verdant said expressionlessly. His tone was incredibly icy, making Glacien and Wilford's scalps crawl.

"Aaron Verdant, my Moonfall Clan has no enmity with you! Why do you target us at every turn?!"

"Didn't you say it yourself?"

"The strong prey on the weak."

"The strong make the rules, while the weak walk on thin ice."

"These two are nothing but ants before me. I only need to move my hands to casually crush them to death."

Aaron Verdant spoke with an apathetic tone. His demeanor and voice were entirely different from before.

The current Aaron Verdant was unimaginably ruthless. The sharp edge he emanated made one not dare to look directly at him.

"Aaron Verdant, don't push things too far!" Silvon gritted his teeth.

"Silvon, it seems you still don't understand."

"Do you think this Venerable became the Imperial Teacher of the Great Verdant by relying on lip service?" Aaron Verdant questioned.

"..."

Silvon clenched his fists, remaining silent. He couldn't win in a fight, and he couldn't win in an argument. He and the entire Moonfall Clan were utterly stifled, left with absolutely no options.

"I rely on this."

Aaron Verdant released one hand. Wilford dropped. Aaron Verdant spun and delivered a kick.

With a muffled thud, Wilford plummeted directly toward Silvon's direction.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wilford spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. The bones and ribs in his chest were entirely shattered, and his internal organs shifted.

He suffered incredibly terrifying injuries, instantly losing all combat capability.

Furthermore, the residual power from Aaron Verdant's kick still wreaked havoc within Wilford's body, completely destroying his meridians, muscles, and bones.

Right now, Wilford was basically half-crippled. For an injury of this degree, it was impossible to recover without a year and a half of rest. And even if he recovered, his strength would never return to what it was. The possibility of advancing again was essentially zero.

Silvon caught Wilford, hurriedly purging the residual divine power from his body. He fed him pills to protect his heart meridian and dantian, preventing Wilford from becoming a complete cripple.

"Now, it's your turn."

"For daring to speak out and contradict this Venerable, a minor punishment is in order."

Aaron Verdant said faintly. The next second, he grabbed Glacien's shoulder and gave a light pull.

Glacien's face filled with agony, twisting savagely as his tragic scream echoed through the clouds.

His arm was forcefully ripped off by Aaron Verdant!

Razor-sharp sword intent surged wildly. Glacien's severed arm was ground into nothingness.

"This Venerable does not enjoy taking lives. I'll spare your trash life."

Aaron Verdant looked at the unconscious Glacien, tossed him up slightly, and delivered a sweeping kick.

Bam!

With a muffled boom, Glacien was struck in the abdomen. Every single bone in his upper body shattered. Like a dead dog, he flew toward Silvon.

Silvon caught Glacien. The Clan Head of their Moonfall Clan had been beaten half to death just like that.

The faces of the Moonfall Clan members were filled with uncontrollable fury. When had their Moonfall Clan ever suffered such humiliation?!

Although many of the onlookers were waiting to watch the Moonfall Clan make a joke of themselves and hoped for their defeat, the shock brought by Aaron Verdant's indescribably terrifying strength washed away their smiles.

They exchanged fearful glances, their hearts filled with extreme dread.

This was the strength of the Great Verdant Lantern Empire! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

In their Far North Ice Field, Perfect Supremes were regarded as top-tier combat power, yet in Aaron Verdant's hands, they were like ants.

Even the Moonfall Clan Ancestor, Silvon, who was also an Emperor Realm expert, was completely crushed by him.

This world was just that cruel. Fortunately, Aaron Verdant was not a bloodthirsty person. Otherwise, if he decided to slaughter everyone here today, who could possibly stop him?

This absolute suppression of power made the onlookers acutely feel their own insignificance.

This world truly was far too cruel!

"Silvon, this Venerable does not enjoy taking lives."

"Now, every single member of your Moonfall Clan present will cripple one of your own arms, and you shall not cross the Glacier Rift Valley for three hundred years. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves."

Aaron Verdant declared faintly as he floated down from the sky, as ruthless as a God of Slaughter.
