“Pfft!”
Xiao Yichen’s head burst open. Primordial spirit and brain matter splattered across the ground.
Even in death, his eyes bulged wide. He died with unresolved grievance.
After dealing with Xiao Yichen, Qi Tian looked up at Chen Tianming and said casually, “Time to send you on your way.”
As the words fell, peerless killing intent erupted from Qi Tian and swept across the sky.
From deep inside the distant cave, Ye Qiu and Long-browed Immortal felt chills run through them. They could clearly sense that Qi Tian’s killing intent was now hundreds, thousands of times stronger than before.
In other words, Qi Tian had not unleashed his full power earlier.
Long-browed Immortal cursed, “Worthy of being Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s personal disciple. What a sneaky little bastard.”
Killing intent flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes. “We must kill Qi Tian today. This fellow is deeply scheming, ruthless, and vicious. If he lives, he will absolutely become my greatest enemy in life.”
Boom!
At that moment, heaven-shaking blood qi surged from Qi Tian like a pillar holding up the sky. It covered everything and made the void hum.
“Dong!”
Qi Tian stepped into the high sky. When his foot landed, it sounded like a divine drum being struck, deafening to the ears.
He stood with hands behind his back, holy light swirling around him, setting him off like a young supreme being.
“Interesting.” Chen Tianming narrowed his eyes slightly.
Blood boiled on Qi Tian’s body, radiating invincible battle intent, as though a divine king had descended to the world.
He raised one hand, pointed at Chen Tianming, and said coldly, “Come and die!”
Qi Tian’s tone was light, but those few words seemed to come from the netherworld of the nine hells, chilling to the bone.
“If you want death, come and get it.” Chen Tianming replied indifferently.
He stood in place, unmoving, his sharp aura now restrained, like a crouching tiger.
“Chen Tianming, this next battle will be the last of your life. I hope you do not disappoint me.”
The implication was clear: you are about to die, so give it everything, or you will never have the chance again.
“Hahaha…”
Chen Tianming laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. After a moment, his eyes became like twin heavenly swords, piercing the void and oppressing the soul.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Chen Tianming said, “Qi Tian, it is not that I look down on you. You cannot kill me. On the contrary, I can slay you with ease.”
At that instant, powerful aura spread from Chen Tianming, like a heavenly river bursting its banks, terrifying to the extreme.
“Kill!”
Qi Tian roared, shaking the clouds, and charged at Chen Tianming at extreme speed, like a massive star colliding.
“Hmph!” Chen Tianming snorted in disdain. Sharp aura burst from his body, blood qi sweeping the eight wildernesses.
He swung his long sword rapidly, slashing out.
Sword qi streaked through the air, brilliant and dazzling.
“Clang, clang, clang…”
Qi Tian activated both hands. His palms were like the hardest divine artefacts, clashing with the sword qi, sparks flying, metallic ringing resounding.
Around them, the air cracked. The area had become a wasteland.
Yet despite such ferocious assaults, Qi Tian remained unscathed.
“Qi Tian, stop holding back. Show your strongest abilities, and I will grant you a dignified death.”
Chen Tianming’s eyes were fearsome as he declared this loudly.
This was not mere arrogance. It was invincible confidence.
“Afraid of you? Hardly.” As Qi Tian spoke, a pitch-black long spear appeared in his palm.
The pitch-black long spear was a vicious weapon. The moment it was brought out, ghostly wailing and wolfish howling filled the air.
“Time to send you on your way.” Qi Tian advanced with the spear.
Boom!
Chen Tianming’s divine might surged. Gripping his long sword in his right hand, he charged straight at Qi Tian.
“Kill!”
Qi Tian roared. Yin-Yang qi swirled around him like death spirits possessing him. His spear thrust out with peerless sharpness.
“Clang, clang, clang!” Long sword and long spear clashed endlessly in the air, producing ear-piercing sounds that shook heaven and earth.
“Boom!”
Heaven and earth trembled.
Killing qi soared.
Battle intent filled the wilderness.
Their movements were extremely fast. In a short time, Qi Tian’s pitch-black spear had collided with Chen Tianming’s long sword hundreds of times. Spear tip against sword point, sparks constantly bursting, dazzling the eyes.
This was a battle of life and death. Both were peerless geniuses from their respective sects, proud and unyielding, neither giving an inch.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the two figures brushed past each other and rushed apart.
Then Qi Tian’s body shook violently. A spray of blood flowers shot skyward, strikingly vivid.
The great battle paused at last.
A terrifying sword wound had appeared on Qi Tian’s chest. Bone was exposed. It was horrifying to behold.
“It seems Qi Tian is going to lose,” Long-browed Immortal said.
“He will not lose so quickly. Chen Tianming is injured too,” Ye Qiu replied.
Long-browed Immortal looked closely and saw that Chen Tianming’s battle armour had been pierced. Blood dripped from his ribs.
“What a sharp vicious weapon!” Long-browed Immortal exclaimed in awe.
For the battle armour on Chen Tianming was also a sacred artefact.
Immediately after, divine light surged from both Qi Tian and Chen Tianming. Their wounds healed instantly.
“Among the younger generation, few can injure me. Even in death, you should smile in the nine springs.”
Chen Tianming gazed at Qi Tian, divine light shooting from his eyes, chilling to the bone.
“Not only can I injure you, I will slaughter you.”
Qi Tian was direct. As his words fell, he raised the pitch-black long spear and attacked Chen Tianming.
“Chi!”
The pitch-black spear’s edge gleamed, radiating terrifying killing intent, as though it would pierce the void. This combat power far exceeded what a peak Tongshen cultivator should possess.
Chen Tianming swung his long sword. Instantly, nine sword shadows appeared in the air.
Each sword qi was thick as a mountain, killing intent shaking the heavens.
“Slash!”
As Chen Tianming slashed down, the nine sword shadows fell from the sky towards Qi Tian.
In an instant, the two sides collided.
Terrifying air currents spread outward, like the primordial chaos at the beginning of creation, splitting heaven and earth.
“Pfft!”
Qi Tian and Chen Tianming both flew backwards, blood spraying. Half their bodies were mangled. They had nearly perished together.
This was a brutal showdown.
“Kill!”
This time they did not heal their wounds. After steadying themselves, they roared simultaneously and charged at each other again.
“Bang!”
Like two cannonballs colliding.
“Pfft!”
Once more, both were gravely injured.
Qi Tian and Chen Tianming were covered in wounds, blood constantly splashing.
Yet at that moment, Qi Tian’s injuries healed instantly. He immediately struck at Chen Tianming.
Strike while the enemy is wounded. Take his life.
Qi Tian wanted no respite for his opponent. He only wanted to finish him quickly.
“Kill!”
Chen Tianming showed no fear. Heaven-soaring blood qi erupted from him. He made no defence, attacking purely, charging straight at Qi Tian in a life-and-death struggle.
“Boom!”
The two fought desperately.
Before long, fresh blood splashed in the air again.
