Inside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, the masked old man looked at the three shameless individuals before him, utterly at a loss!
These three were clearly not leaving!
Force them out?
The problem was, while these three might not be able to defeat the figure outside, that didn’t mean they couldn’t defeat him!
Moreover, if things turned sour, given their shamelessness, they might even loot the entire Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
What a dilemma!
The masked old man sighed softly, “You three, I can buy you some time, but I don’t know how long I can hold out!”
Ye Xuan quickly nodded, “Good! Once our physical bodies recover, we’ll leave this place!”
The masked old man hesitated, then said, “Are you sure?”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “I swear on my character!”
The masked old man’s expression froze.
Character?
Does this guy even have character?
The masked old man felt bitter inside but said no more. He got up and left.
In the room, Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian immediately began reconstructing their physical bodies.
The priority now was to restore their bodies. Only then would they have a chance to fight that shadowy figure.
Before, they had truly underestimated their opponent!
…
The masked old man arrived in the starry sky before the shadowy figure. He hesitated, then said, “They’re not coming out!”
The figure didn’t speak, but a terrifying pressure emerged around them!
The masked old man quickly said, “Sir, if you attack the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, I’ll have no choice but to call the Pavilion Master!”
The figure said calmly, “Are you threatening me?”
The masked old man shook his head, “Sir, I’ve already spoken with them. Once their physical bodies recover, they’ll come out to fight you.”
The figure fell silent.
The masked old man didn’t speak either!
To be honest, he wasn’t afraid. Though he couldn’t defeat the figure before him, he had Qin Guan backing him!
Having someone behind you was truly empowering, giving confidence in everything!
After a moment, the figure said, “I’ll wait for them!”
The masked old man nodded, then turned and left.
After the masked old man departed, the figure slowly clenched his right hand, lost in thought.
…
Inside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian had restored their physical bodies.
Ye Xuan looked at the masked old man before him and said in a low voice, “Senior, who is that person?”
The masked old man said, “The Lord of Tribulation, born from calamity. His true form is a tribulation thunder, extremely terrifying.”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “Why does he want to kill the three of us?”
The masked old man said in a low voice, “He wants to devour your Great Dao’s fortune!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Can the Great Dao’s fortune be devoured?”
The masked old man nodded.
He continued in a low voice, “When the Evil Spirit Clan was annihilated years ago, this person was involved. His strength is absolutely beyond what you three can handle right now!”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “Then can we stay here a bit longer?”
The masked old man hesitated, then said, “Actually, if you three join forces, you should be able to put up a fight!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, then said, “Senior, thank you for earlier! We three will remember this kindness! Farewell!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Dao Ling and Shi Tian hurriedly followed.
In the room, the masked old man fell silent.
At that moment, a young man suddenly approached the masked old man, “Grandfather, these three are all extraordinary talents. Why not take this chance to build a closer relationship with them?”
The masked old man shook his head with a bitter smile, “What do I have to build a relationship with them? Let them stay here? They might be fine, but the hundreds of people here might not survive!”
The young man quickly said, “Can’t we contact the Pavilion Master?”
The masked old man smiled faintly but didn’t respond.
…
Outside.
Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian emerged into the air, looking at the Lord of Tribulation in the distance. Their expressions were extremely grave!
He was truly powerful!
After reaching the Time Realm, the three of them were nearly invincible among their peers, but facing this Lord of Tribulation, they still felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Do you trust me?”
At this, the two hesitated.
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “What’s with those expressions?”
Dao Ling gave a wry smile, “Brother Ye, this is no time for jokes. This guy is terrifyingly strong. If you pull something flashy, I think we’ll all end up dead here!”
Shi Tian quickly added, “No reckless moves!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Relax, I won’t be reckless! You two hold him off from the front, I’ll wield my sword!”
Dao Ling nodded, “Alright!”
As his voice fell, he leaped into the air. The next moment, a massive dharma image appeared behind him in the sky. Dao Ling looked down at the shadowy figure below, a ferocious glint in his eyes, and threw a punch!
Boom!
In the sky, a ten-thousand-foot fist mark shot toward the Lord of Tribulation, its immense power instantly setting the entire starry sky ablaze!
At the same time, Shi Tian suddenly vanished from his spot. The next moment, terrifying afterimages surged toward the Lord of Tribulation, crushing everything in their path!
Nearby, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, as if entering a meditative state!
In the distance, the Lord of Tribulation remained calm. As the fist mark and afterimages reached him, he suddenly opened his palm, and the thunder within it turned into a wave of lightning that surged out.
Boom!
The fist mark shattered instantly. Moreover, Dao Ling was blasted back hundreds of thousands of feet, and his dharma image dissolved into nothingness in an instant!
Shi Tian, who had just reached the Lord of Tribulation, was sent flying hundreds of thousands of feet away, his countless afterimages extinguished!
However, the Lord of Tribulation was also retreating, albeit slowly, but retreating nonetheless!
At that moment, a sword light suddenly appeared above the Lord of Tribulation’s head. His eyes narrowed, expression calm, and he lightly swept his right hand upward, sending a bolt of lightning crashing into the sword light!
Boom!
The sword light shattered!
But the next moment, another sword light appeared at the Lord of Tribulation’s brow. Not only that, hundreds of swords followed, each targeting different parts of his body and different moments in time!
Seeing this, the Lord of Tribulation frowned slightly. He suddenly clenched his right hand tightly and smashed it forward.
Boom!
In an instant, the space-time before him collapsed into a massive, terrifying vortex. But it was useless, as he only shattered the swords in this moment of time, leaving the swords in the next moment untouched!
The Lord of Tribulation was slightly startled and had to keep defending!
Boom, boom, boom!
In the arena, sword lights kept striking at the Lord of Tribulation, forcing him to retreat. This retreat spanned hundreds of feet.
And Ye Xuan’s swords kept appearing, seemingly endless!
At that moment, the Lord of Tribulation suddenly looked up. With a wave of his right hand, a divine thunder plummeted from the sky, heading straight for Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. His left thumb gently pushed upward.
Sss!
A sword light shot into the sky, striking the divine thunder.
Boom!
The sword light shattered, and the divine thunder fell straight down!
Ye Xuan’s frown deepened. He understood the Lord of Tribulation’s intent: as long as he disrupted Ye Xuan, his future-cutting sword would have to stop!
At that moment, a fist mark suddenly struck the divine thunder.
Boom!
The divine thunder shattered!
Dao Ling appeared above Ye Xuan, looking at the Lord of Tribulation in the distance, his expression ferocious. “Take a punch from me!”
As his voice fell, he clenched his right hand tightly. In an instant, a terrifying force gathered in his fist. The next moment, he charged forward, and upon reaching the Lord of Tribulation, he smashed his fist down!
Boom!
In an instant, the space-time around the Lord of Tribulation was annihilated!
The power was simply too terrifying!
Amid countless sword lights, a ferocious glint flashed in the Lord of Tribulation’s eyes. He suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it against Dao Ling’s fist.
Boom!
Dao Ling was blasted back tens of thousands of feet by this punch. As soon as he stopped, his body cracked, blood gushing from his mouth!
In that moment, he felt as if his organs were about to explode!
In the distance, the Lord of Tribulation, having just sent Dao Ling flying, hurriedly defended against Ye Xuan’s swords. But at that moment, an afterimage suddenly appeared behind him, and a fist slammed into the back of his head.
Boom!
The Lord of Tribulation was sent flying hundreds of feet. Before he could stop, hundreds of swords slashed at his body.
Sss, sss, sss, sss!
Tearing sounds echoed through the arena. Amid the sword lights, the Lord of Tribulation retreated frantically, and as he did, countless swords swarmed toward him!
One after another, perfectly coordinated, giving him no chance to catch his breath!
At that moment, Dao Ling and Shi Tian charged toward the Lord of Tribulation again.
Both understood the principle of “strike while he’s down.” At this moment, they had to kill the Lord of Tribulation!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s face was drenched in sweat.
This high-intensity use of the future-cutting sword was a first for him, extremely taxing on his mind! He had to calculate every step of the Lord of Tribulation’s retreat and anticipate his possible reactions!
He had to account for everything. Only then could he ensure the Lord of Tribulation had no chance to focus on anything else!
One sword after another!
In the arena, under the relentless assault of Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian, the Lord of Tribulation kept retreating. In a short time, he had been pushed back hundreds of thousands of feet. At this point, his body was covered in countless wounds, his physical form nearly torn to pieces by Ye Xuan’s swords!
At that moment, the Lord of Tribulation suddenly roared, “Get lost!”
As his voice fell, he abandoned his physical body. His soul suddenly detached, rising into the air. In that instant, Ye Xuan’s countless swords struck empty air!
Ye Xuan’s heart sank. He quickly looked up, about to strike with his sword, when the Lord of Tribulation in the sky suddenly slammed his palm down.
Boom!
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of tribulation thunders swept down from the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
In that moment, the entire starry sky was obliterated!
Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian were blasted back hundreds of thousands of feet!
As soon as they stopped, their physical bodies shattered simultaneously, leaving only their souls!
Their faces were deathly pale, their eyes filled with grave concern!
In the distant sky, the Lord of Tribulation looked at the three, his expression ferocious. “Damn ants! If Qin Guan hadn’t destroyed my tribulation body back then, how could you ants harm me?”
As he spoke, he clenched both hands tightly. In an instant, countless lightning bolts appeared around him, and terrifying waves of pressure swept down from the sky!
Nearby, Dao Ling and Shi Tian’s expressions changed drastically. At this point, they definitely couldn’t withstand it!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly pulled out the spear he had received from Qin Guan. He aimed it at the Lord of Tribulation, his expression calm. “Was it this that Qin Guan used to shatter your body back then?”
Seeing the object in Ye Xuan’s hand, the Lord of Tribulation’s expression changed drastically.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan suddenly roared, “Come at me!”
His voice trembled slightly.
Lord of Tribulation: “…”
