The Deity tugged at Monk Wu’s sleeve and said, “Monk, don’t you know how to have a conversation?”
Monk Wu: “…”
The Boundless Lord, expressionless, said, “Enough nonsense! Let’s watch the fight!”
…
In the distance, Chu Tian clenched his right hand, and countless ancient runes began spinning rapidly around him.
The black-robed man from the Dimensional Universe looked at Chu Tian, “So you’re the successor of Old Huang!”
Old Huang!
He knew him, of course. Everyone in the Dimensional Universe knew the emperors who had invaded the Ninth Dimension!
Chu Tian glared at the black-robed man, “Come on!”
With that, he threw a punch!
Boom!
In an instant, countless ancient runes transformed into fist imprints, surging toward the black-robed man!
Taoist Fist!
This wasn’t one punch, but millions upon millions!
Endless!
The black-robed man’s eyes narrowed, a hint of solemnity in his gaze. He slowly clenched his right hand, then opened his palm and pressed down lightly. With that press, the space-time behind him transformed into a boundless starry sky!
In an instant, countless stars shot toward the field like meteors!
Seeing this, everyone’s faces changed drastically!
At that moment, everyone felt a terrifying pressure of death!
Because the black-robed man’s strike wasn’t aimed solely at Chu Tian, but at everyone in the field!
There was nowhere to retreat!
If Chu Tian couldn’t block it, then everyone…
Everyone’s expressions grew grave!
Soon, Chu Tian’s punch clashed with the black-robed man’s starry river of meteors!
Rumble…
In an instant, the entire void world began to shatter.
Everyone watched Chu Tian and the black-robed man in the distance!
Rumble!
Countless stars and ancient fist imprints shattered in the heavens. After about a quarter of an hour, Chu Tian suddenly opened his palm, clenched it into a fist, and charged forward, “Taoist Divine Fist!”
Taoist Divine Fist!
With this punch, Chu Tian’s entire right hand turned into a rune-covered hand!
In the distance, the black-robed man’s eyes narrowed. He charged forward, pointing a finger. At his fingertip, countless terrifying dimensional forces gathered.
Boom!
As soon as they clashed, both retreated violently!
They each shot back tens of thousands of zhang!
The aftershock of their forces rippled out for millions of li, leaving the void in ruins!
With a thought, Ye Xuan’s Human Sword Intent blocked the aftermath of their clash.
Ye Xuan looked at Chu Tian and the black-robed man. Chu Tian’s soul had dimmed significantly, while the black-robed man’s physical body had shattered, leaving only his soul!
Both were gravely injured!
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Hey, you said earlier you’d take us all on single-handedly. Does that still stand?”
Everyone: “…”
The black-robed man looked at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan blinked, “Just asking!”
Everyone’s expressions turned odd.
Though the black-robed man had been arrogant, ganging up on him now…
It wasn’t quite right, was it? One had to have some dignity!
The black-robed man stared at Ye Xuan, “What, you want to kill me?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “No, no! You’re so powerful, you must have a high status in the Dimensional Universe. If I capture you… I could probably trade you for a lot of Crystal Kings!”
Everyone’s expressions froze!
The black-robed man glared at Ye Xuan, “Then come try!”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “Really?”
The black-robed man said, “Yes! But…”
At that moment, Ye Xuan vanished from his spot.
“Huh?”
The black-robed man was stunned!
Damn it!
What kind of shameless creature was this? I’m already heavily injured, and you still have the nerve to take advantage?
Where’s your dignity?
Your face?
Not just the black-robed man, everyone in the field was dumbfounded.
No one expected Ye Xuan to actually make a move!
This didn’t seem quite right!
But then again, damn it, this Dimensional Universe guy was so arrogant earlier, claiming he’d take on everyone!
At that moment, Ye Xuan had already reached the black-robed man. The man’s eyes narrowed, and he threw a punch!
A terrifying soul force mixed with dimensional power surged toward Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan responded with a single sword strike!
Slash!
Under everyone’s gazes, Ye Xuan’s sword effortlessly tore through the black-robed man’s soul force, piercing his brow before he could react!
Boom!
The black-robed man’s soul was pinned in place by Ye Xuan’s sword!
Everyone was stunned!
That was it?
Though the black-robed man was weakened, he shouldn’t be *that* weak!
The black-robed man himself was dazed!
He hadn’t expected his soul force to be so easily broken by a single sword!
After pinning the black-robed man, Ye Xuan’s divine sense locked onto him. Moments later, a slight smirk appeared on Ye Xuan’s face. He opened his palm, and a dimensional storage ring slowly floated from the black-robed man’s body!
Ye Xuan glanced at it and quickly tucked it away.
Everyone: “…”
Ye Xuan looked at the black-robed man, “Now, tell your family to come ransom you!”
Black-robed man: “…”
Seeing everyone staring at him, Ye Xuan paused, then laughed, “Why are you all looking at me? He’s the one who said he’d take us all on! I hesitated at first and even asked him a few times, you all heard! He said it was fine! Back in the day, I wouldn’t have even asked!”
Everyone: “…”
The black-robed man glared at Ye Xuan, “Human sword cultivator, don’t you think your actions are shameful?”
Ye Xuan glared back, “You’re the one who said we should all come at you! If you don’t have the strength, why act so tough?”
The black-robed man’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan added, “What, do the Dimensional Universe folks not keep their word?”
The black-robed man stared at Ye Xuan, “Shameless!”
Ye Xuan waved his hand, “Hurry up and get your family to ransom you!”
The black-robed man’s face twisted, “A warrior can be killed, not humiliated. Even if I die…”
At that moment, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, and the black-robed man’s soul began to be rapidly absorbed!
Seeing this, the black-robed man panicked and quickly said, “How much do you want!”
Ye Xuan gently pressed down with his right hand, stopping the Qingxuan Sword. He looked at the black-robed man, “How much can you give?”
The black-robed man said gravely, “Ten thousand Crystal Kings!”
Ye Xuan’s eyelid twitched, but he quickly regained composure, “Your life is only worth ten thousand Crystal Kings?”
The black-robed man looked at Ye Xuan, “Then you name a price!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “One hundred thousand!”
The black-robed man immediately said, “Deal!”
“What the…?”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Damn it!
I messed up!
Is this guy just filthy rich, or am I just too poor?
The black-robed man opened his palm, and the space-time before him twisted. Soon, a storage ring floated into his hand. He handed it to Ye Xuan, “One hundred thousand Crystal Kings!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the ring, hesitating.
The black-robed man said calmly, “What, the Parallel Universe folks don’t keep their word?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Of course we do!”
With that, he took the ring, opened his palm, and withdrew the Qingxuan Sword!
The black-robed man looked at Ye Xuan, “What’s your name?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What, planning to take revenge?”
The black-robed man said calmly, “Just asking!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Haven’t you already guessed?”
The black-robed man’s eyes narrowed, “You’re from the Gu Clan!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, “My name carries ‘Ye,’ figure it out yourself!”
With that, he turned and left with a flourish!
Everyone: “…”
The black-robed man stared at Ye Xuan’s departing figure, “Gu Clan… name with ‘Ye’? Gu Ye?”
With that, he turned and vanished into the depths of the starry sky.
Everyone’s expressions grew strange.
He took the benefits!
And shifted the blame?
Of course, that wasn’t the point. The point was Ye Xuan got one hundred thousand Crystal Kings!
One hundred thousand!
And Crystal Kings, no less!
Even for disciples of great clans like them, that was an astronomical sum!
They were a bit jealous!
But Chu Tian felt stifled. Damn it, I fought so hard to cripple him, and you swooped in for the kill?
Head-stealing dog?
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly laughed, “Brother Chu Tian, you still fighting? Keep going!”
Chu Tian glared at Ye Xuan, “That money, shouldn’t you split half with me?”
He decided to throw dignity aside too!
One hundred thousand Crystal Kings—he wanted a piece. Though the Ye Clan was generous, they only gave about a hundred per cultivation session! So he was a bit broke!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I can give you fifty thousand!”
Chu Tian was stunned, “You… you’re really willing to give?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Of course! I, Ye Xuan, am not one to hog it all! After all, without your hard fight, I couldn’t have gotten the kill!”
Chu Tian looked at Ye Xuan, “Then hand it over!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Not now, later!”
Chu Tian frowned, “What trick are you playing now?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Brother Chu Tian, just a mere hundred thousand Crystal Kings, and you’re satisfied? That’s small thinking!”
Chu Tian looked at Ye Xuan, “What do you mean?”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “There are still plenty of geniuses in the Dimensional Universe, right? We can keep going! You fight them, shatter their physical bodies, then I’ll hit their souls. Once I capture them, we’ll demand ransom. Think about it, the Dimensional Universe is filthy rich… heh heh!”
Chu Tian stared at Ye Xuan, “Why don’t you do the fighting, and I take the easy pickings?”
Ye Xuan raised his Qingxuan Sword, “My sword is perfect for countering souls. Do you have one?”
Chu Tian’s expression darkened.
Ye Xuan continued, “Catch the next Dimensional Universe genius, and we’ll split it evenly. Plus, I’ll give you half of this hundred thousand Crystal Kings. That means, if you agree, you’re guaranteed at least a hundred thousand Crystal Kings!”
Everyone: “…”
In the distance, the Boundless Lord sighed in admiration, “What a talent! This guy is perfect for thriving in the Milky Way!”
Monk Wu clasped his hands together, “Boundless Lord, you keep mentioning the Milky Way. What’s so special about it?”
The Boundless Lord said calmly, “The nightclubs are nice!”
Monk Wu smiled faintly, “Then next time, Boundless Lord, take us to these nightclubs to broaden our horizons!”
The Boundless Lord turned to Monk Wu, silent.
