Clang!
This sudden divine beam slashed across the back of the Infinite Heavenly Venerable’s hand, instantly sparking like fireworks.
At once, the Infinite Heavenly Venerable seemed to feel pain. He quickly withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed deadly on the void.
As for everyone else present, they were utterly shocked.
“Who exactly is it?”
“To dare tell the Infinite Heavenly Venerable to scram – far too arrogant!”
Amid the crowd’s shock, a crack appeared in the void above Ye Qiu’s head. Then, a tall figure stepped out from within.
“A Saint realm expert!”
It was common knowledge that only Saint realm experts could traverse the void.
“No one knows which force this Saint realm expert comes from?”
The crowd looked up curiously at this newly appeared Saint.
The figure was tall and imposing, with a majestic bearing, like a deity walking out from ancient times.
However, his long hair was dishevelled, like overgrown weeds, obscuring his face. He was barefoot, appearing somewhat shabby, even slovenly.
In his hand, he carried a pitch-black broken sword that looked utterly ordinary.
Whoosh!
This Saint realm expert stepped to Ye Qiu’s side in one stride. His gaze pierced through the scattered messy hair as he smiled. “Kid, long time no see!”
“Senior Dugu!”
Ye Qiu saw the Saint’s true appearance and his face lit with wild joy. He had not expected that, at this critical moment of life and death, Dugu Wudi would suddenly appear.
Indeed, this abruptly arriving expert was none other than the Shushan Sword Saint, Dugu Wudi.
It was truly unexpected.
Truly a surprise.
Ye Qiu said excitedly, “Senior Dugu, where have you been? I searched for you for a long time with no news.”
Dugu Wudi did not answer Ye Qiu’s question. Instead, he praised him. “In such a short time, to raise your cultivation to this realm – you have done well.”
Ye Qiu glanced up at the Infinite Heavenly Venerable standing in the void and sighed. “But my cultivation is still too low. Before Saint realm experts, I have no power to resist. I am merely an ant.”
“Whoever dares view you as an ant shall pay a heavy price.” Dugu Wudi said, “They want to kill you? Then I will help you slaughter them all.”
At these words, muffled thunder rolled across the nine heavens, as if the Heavenly Dao itself was enraged.
Everyone present felt Dugu Wudi’s tone was overly mad.
The Infinite Heavenly Venerable and the four Saints fixed sharp, blade-like gazes on Dugu Wudi.
“An ordinary Saint daring to spout madness. Truly courting death.” The Infinite Heavenly Venerable snorted coldly.
Dugu Wudi patted Ye Qiu’s shoulder. “Leave the rest to me!”
With that, he stepped into the void.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying aura spread from Dugu Wudi’s body. His vital blood surged skyward, sweeping across the entire firmament.
At once, a heart-palpitating pressure filled every person’s mind.
Dugu Wudi was like a demon king, his eyes filled with wildness. He looked at the Infinite Heavenly Venerable and the four Saints, coldly shouting, “Whoever wants to die, come forward.”
The Infinite Heavenly Venerable narrowed his eyes. From Dugu Wudi, he sensed a towering battle intent that even made him slightly apprehensive.
“This seat does not kill nameless people. Who are you?” the Infinite Heavenly Venerable asked.
“I am Dugu Wudi.” Dugu Wudi declared proudly. “With me, there is no enemy!”
The Infinite Heavenly Venerable looked puzzled, for this was the first time he had heard the name.
Logically, any Saint in the cultivation world – even if unseen – he would have heard the name. Yet he had never heard of Dugu Wudi.
“Truly damned arrogant. To call yourself invincible before us – death is not enough punishment.”
Tuoba Yunhe had a fiery temper. “Heavenly Venerable, let me test this fellow. I want to see what qualifications he has to claim invincibility!”
With that, Tuoba Yunhe advanced, smashing a fist towards Dugu Wudi.
Boom! Tuoba Yunhe struck with Heaven and Earth Tyrant Fist. Instantly, a massive fist imprint like an boundless mountain peak pressed down.
Formed from a Saint’s power, it was terrifying beyond measure.
Yet Dugu Wudi stood motionless, his eyes unwavering. Only when the fist imprint was about to crush his head did he swing the broken sword.
Clang!
The massive mountain peak formed by Heaven and Earth Tyrant Fist was struck by the broken sword and instantly shattered into dust.
In a blink, countless cracks appeared in the void, rapidly spreading thousands of li, causing large-scale collapse.
The heavens crumbled and the earth split.
“Good heavens, is this the battle power of Saint realm experts? Truly too terrifying!”
“This fluctuation alone could crush us.”
“I should have known not to stay and watch the excitement.”
“Who the hell knew so many Saints would appear.”
“It’s over…”
The aura of Saint experts covered the sky and earth, horrifying beyond words. The cultivators kneeling on the ground felt their souls might shatter at any moment, filled with despair.
Hum!
Yun Shan acted in time. A powerful aura formed an array, enveloping the kneeling cultivators.
Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, senior.”
The crowd thanked him in unison.
“Fellow Daoists, if you wish to fight, go farther away. Do not harm the innocent.” Yun Shan said.
“Dare you battle in the heavenly domain?” Tuoba Yunhe demanded fiercely of Dugu Wudi.
“Why not?” Dugu Wudi responded dominantly.
The two locked eyes, then soared upward, appearing higher in the void.
Boom!
The great battle erupted.
“Kill!”
Tuoba Yunhe roared ferociously, carrying astonishing killing intent as he charged at Dugu Wudi.
Boom!
He pushed Heaven and Earth Tyrant Fist to the extreme. Fist imprints filled the sky, divine light danced chaotically, killing aura pierced the heavens.
“Some trash emerging from who knows where dares call himself invincible. Do you think you are a Great Emperor?”
Tuoba Yunhe attacked while mocking.
His fists swung, torrential battle power like a vast river. Heaven and earth shook, the void trembled endlessly.
“Whoever dares touch the one I protect, I will kill.”
After blocking Tuoba Yunhe’s fierce onslaught, Dugu Wudi sheathed the broken sword, then clenched both fists.
Seeing this, Tuoba Yunhe could not help sneering coldly.
“Using fists before me – it seems you do not know the might of our Primordial Holy Land’s Heaven and Earth Tyrant Fist. In that case, I will show you properly…”
Boom!
Before Tuoba Yunhe finished, Dugu Wudi struck.
Dugu Wudi swung both fists wildly, shaking the universe, annihilating the eight desolations.
Tuoba Yunhe also unleashed Heaven and Earth Tyrant Fist to its limit, meeting him head-on.
Soon, an aura of opening heaven and splitting earth spread, engulfing both figures.
Bang bang bang…
The crowd could only hear deafening collisions and endless divine light scattering. They could not see the two figures at all.
The Infinite Heavenly Venerable glanced at Ye Qiu, raising his palm, preparing to capture him in this moment.
Unexpectedly, before he could act, a miserable scream echoed from the void: “Ah…”
The Infinite Heavenly Venerable looked up sharply. All divine light vanished. Dugu Wudi, covered in blood, had torn Tuoba Yunhe in half, his right hand holding Tuoba Yunhe’s primordial spirit.
