“You want to kill me?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as he looked at Fang Yi Ming, who was blocking his path.

Fang Yi Ming smiled icily and said, “If you think I’d let you go, then you’re too naive. After all, you’re from the Flying Dragon Sect, and I’m from the Tai Yi Sect. We’re enemies on the battlefield. Even if you’ve helped me, how can I let you go? Perhaps, you might be regretting not helping Wang Liu An to kill me earlier. However, let me tell you. Even if you had helped Wang Liu An, like me, he also wouldn’t have let you go as well. Your fate has been sealed as soon as we discovered you.”

Killing intent flashed in Fang Yi Ming’s eyes, and his Divine Energy surged out from his body even before he finished speaking.

Duan Ling Tian sneered upon hearing Fang Yi Ming’s words. He said, “Is that so? Fortunately, I’ve no intention of letting both of you go either… I didn’t act earlier because I was curious if you’d attack me or not…”

Fang Yi Ming was stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s words. When he regained his senses, he laughed before he said, “You, a rudimentary Lord of Gods, aren’t going to let me go? I’ve not heard of any rudimentary Lord of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect who’s capable of defeating an intermediate Lord of Gods.”

Fang Yi Ming was very confident, and he did not take Duan Ling Tian’s words to heart at all. He was certain that Duan Ling Tian was only bragging and putting up a front. He did not waste words and attacked immediately with his saber.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian did not move at all.

“What? Are you frozen in fear?” Fang Yi Ming asked contemptuously.

Saber rays swept out, destroying the chunks of ice in the surroundings as they swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

“Brat, before you die, you should remember the name of the person who killed you. My name is Fang Yi Ming!”

Then, Fang Yi Ming leaped up and brought his saber down. At the same time, a confident smile appeared on his face. He was confident about his victory.

Suddenly, Fang Yi Ming, who thought Duan Ling Tian was paralyzed by his fear, heard Duan Ling Tian say indifferently, “No, you should remember the name of your killer. My name is Duan Ling Tian…”

Fang Yi Ming frowned slightly. The name ‘Duan Ling Tian’ sounded vaguely familiar.

While Fang Yi Ming was distracted, the force of his saber rays weakened.

At the same time, a rumbling noise rang in the air as the space around Duan Ling Tian began to twist and ripple. With that, Fang Yi Ming’s saber rays instantly vanished.

Fang Yi Ming felt that the saber in his hand was growing heavier as well. His expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, “You, you actually comprehended the Mastery Dao?!”

The Mastery Dao was one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Fang Yi Ming was not only surprised that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Mastery Dao, but he was surprised that the Mastery Dao was not just at the rudimentary stage.

“How observant,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently. Then, he raised his hand. The Divine Energy of a rudimentary Lord of Gods merged with the law of space and surged out of his body.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian no longer concealed the level of his comprehension of the law of space. His comprehension was not inferior to Fang Yi Ming at all.

A colorful one-meter-long sword appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s raised hand. It exuded an extremely fierce and sharp aura.

Swoosh!

The twisting voice calmed down immediately.

“Sword Dao?!” Fang Yi Ming’s expression changed again. The mocking expression on his face had long been replaced with one of wariness at this point.

‘Damn it! How’s this possible? He’s just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Not only is his comprehension on par with mine, but he has even comprehended the Mastery Dao and the Sword Dao!’

At this time, Fang Yi Ming’s confidence wavered and a thought appeared in his mind. He thought that perhaps, he might not be a match for his opponent. Perhaps, through other means, his opponent might be able to bridge the gap between their cultivation bases. He grew even more convinced that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die.

Fang Yi Ming sorted his thoughts quickly and sighed in relief. Although he might not be able to defeat his opponent, escaping was not a problem.

Swoosh!

Fang Yi Ming did not waste time and mobilized all his strength. He even activated his bloodline power. At this time, he was only focused on escaping. He no longer attacked or paid attention to Duan Ling Tian.

While Fang Yi Ming flew back, Duan Ling Tian said unhurriedly, “You can’t escape.”

Duan Ling Tian brandished the seven-colored sword like the Grim Reaper’s scythe.

Swoosh!

Sword rays shot out.

“How’s this possible?!” Fang Yi Ming was shocked by the sword rays’ speed. When he felt the intense danger growing stronger and stronger, he instinctively turned back to look.

“Kill!

When Fang Yi Ming realized that the voice he had heard belonged to a woman, his face turned ashen. “Ar… Artifact spirit?! It’s a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact spirit? No! No!”

Fang Yi Ming forcefully calmed down before he stood firm to defend against the attack. Alas, he only managed to dispel some of the sword rays. In the end, he was still severely injured from the attack.

Duan Ling Tian flashed and appeared in front of the heavily-injured Fang Yi Ming.

Fang Yi Ming looked at Duan Ling Tian in despair. “Impossible! You’re just an inner disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect! How can you possess such a prominent divine artifact?! How can you comprehend two of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth? Impossible! Impossible!”

It took a while for Fang Yi Ming to calm down. When he did, he asked Duan Ling Tian with an unsightly expression on his face, “Who the hell are you exactly? Did the Flying Dragon Sect invite outsiders to help them? However, I don’t think there’s any rudimentary Lord of Gods as outstanding as you even in the emperor-rank forces.”

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Fang Yi Ming’s questions. Instead, he attacked quickly. It was a swift and clean strike.

Apart from revealing the true comprehension level of his law of space, Mastery Dao, and the Sword Dao, Duan Ling Tian also revealed the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. He wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible before other people joined the fray. As long as he killed Fang Yi Ming, no one would be the wiser about his secrets. Only if a supreme powerhouse was observing would another person know about the matter today.

Swoosh!

Fang Yi Ming died after Duan Ling Tian’s attack landed. His eyes were still open, looking as though he could not believe he had died. Even before he died, he had yet to figure out why the name Duan Ling Tian sounded so familiar.

“This isn’t a bad start… I’ll take it as a good sign,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself before he collected Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An’s spatial rings before he claimed ownership of the two rings. However, a disappointed expression appeared on his face when he saw the content of the spatial rings.

“Those two are paupers! Fang Yi Ming had so few divine rocks and divine crystals in his spatial ring. Are they really the inner elders of the Tai Yi Sect?” Duan Ling Tian grumbled slightly.

Duan Ling Tian had completely forgotten at this point that his treatment in the Flying Dragon Sect was not normal. Even some Black Dragon Elders were no match for him. With the addition of the payment by the elders of the Flying Dragon Sect, his divine rocks, divine crystals, and contribution points were not something Black Dragon Elderspossessed. For all this reason, how could he be satisfied with the contents of Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An’s spatial rings?

Perhaps, only Duan Ling Tian would think the two Underworld Elders were like paupers.

…

Tai Yi City.

Near the entrance to the Lord Battlefield.

A crisp noise rang in the air.

The three elders on duty turned to look in the direction of the noise immediately. Their expressions turned unsightly when they discovered that it was the sound of a Soul Pearl shattering.

“Another Lord of Gods in our sect has perished. We’re slowly losing the advantage we gained…”

“That’s Elder Wang’s Soul Pearl. Was he killed by a White Dragon Elder from the Flying Dragon Sect?”

“I’m not sure. However, even if it were a White Dragon Elder, it still shouldn’t be difficult for Elder Wang to escape, right?”

The trio was still discussing the matter when another noise rang in the air.

“Another one in such a short time?!”

Although there were quite a few Lords of Gods who had perished on the Lord Battlefield, there had been no consecutive deaths up until now. Previously, the shortest time between the death of two Lords of Gods was ten days.

“It’s Elder Fang Yi Ming!”

“Two inner elders dying one after another… What’s going on exactly? Who did they encounter?”
