"What the hell? You can do that?" Chi Long's expression froze upon hearing Huangfu Jun's words. "Long Aotian, you promised that you would deal with the strongest one and I would handle the battlefield. Why did you leave the strongest one to me? You untrustworthy piece of trash."
Chi Long immediately cursed angrily. He said that it was no big deal for him to deal with the peak of the King Realm. He could manage it with a little effort. But to deal with the Emperor Realm? Wasn't that just asking for death?
At that moment, Manqi rushed towards Chilong. Chilong's expression changed, and his body burrowed into the ground like an eel. Manqi's fist slammed into the ground.
"Grandpa, I'll call you Grandpa, okay? I offended you earlier, so I apologize. Could you give me... no, give me face and pretend to hit me a few times, then pretend to be defeated?" The Crimson Dragon, burrowing into the ground, continued, "Then I'll persuade Long Aotian to return Slaughter Bull City to you. What do you think?"
Manqi looked at the ground, and for a moment he didn't know what to do, because he couldn't sense where the Crimson Dragon was.
He kept sensing, trying to determine the location of the Crimson Dragon by sound, but the Crimson Dragon's voice was very peculiar, as if it came from all directions, and was impossible to detect.
"Let me tell you, you're not at a loss. Fighting and killing so many people is bad for everyone. You give me face, and I'll slaughter Niu City for you. It's a win-win situation, isn't it great!" Chi Long continued to talk incessantly, making Man Qi's head spin. He gradually became angry. He, a King Realm cultivator, couldn't even find a King Realm cultivator. This was unacceptable to him.
“Alright! Come out first, and I’ll agree to your terms.” Manqi’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly said.
"You have to promise me first. Here's what we'll do: you slap yourself twice, injure yourself, preferably seriously, so that I might have a chance to beat you," Chi Long said. "Don't worry, I, Chi Long, am a man of my word. I would never do anything that goes against my promise. I can swear on my master's name."
Upon hearing the Crimson Dragon's words, everyone in the midst of battle, including the Minotaur, was taken aback.
Severely injuring himself first? If Manqi really did that, wouldn't he be a complete idiot? How could there be such a person among humans? Compared to Long Aotian's unparalleled combat power, he's simply a clown.
But what about the clown? He still left Manqi helpless.
"If you don't come out, then I will slaughter all your King Realm members." Manqi suddenly said. He moved instantly, ignoring the Crimson Dragon, and charged towards Huangfu Jun again.
Huangfu Jun's expression immediately changed. He was watching the show and recovering from his injuries, but why was Manqi targeting him again? He hadn't said anything!
"Damn it!" Huangfu Jun cursed, then turned and ran.
"You lack martial ethics." Upon hearing Manqi's words, the red dragon underground also changed his expression. He instantly emerged from the ground, a long sword in his hand shooting towards Manqi.
Suddenly, Manqi abandoned Huangfu Jun, turned around, and two golden maces appeared in his hands. He used one mace to deflect the incoming longsword, and then smashed the other mace down on the red dragon.
The red dragon's pupils contracted, and it immediately burrowed back into the ground like an eel.
The golden mace slammed into the ground, producing a deafening roar, sending sand and dust flying, and releasing a tremendous force.
Manqi's expression changed; he missed.
"Why can't you listen to reason? I tried to negotiate with you out of kindness, and this is how you treat me? You're a real scoundrel." Chi Long emerged from the ground behind Man Qi, showing only his head as he spoke.
But what greeted him was a strange golden mace, boom...
Red Dragon reacted quickly, and Manqi missed again.
"You little bastard, with your reaction time, you think you can hit grandpa?" Red Dragon popped his head out from somewhere else and cursed, "If I were you..."
boom……………
"Just quickly injure yourself severely, and then..."
boom……………
"You little bastard, let your grandpa finish speaking..."
boom…………
boom…………
The scene was somewhat comical. Manqi was like a whack-a-mole, constantly hitting the red dragon, which would always emerge from a different place and then disappear back in.
"You little bastard, I'll make you furious! I can't hit you, I can't hit you, hahaha..." Red Dragon taunted Manqi, who was already somewhat enraged.
"Shameless scoundrel!" Manqi was furious. He couldn't hit the Crimson Dragon, which was one thing, but the Crimson Dragon kept provoking him with foul language.
"Ah..." Manqi roared, his heavy double maces striking the ground like serpents, he was like a mad bull.
"You can't hit me, you idiot!" the Crimson Dragon kept saying. "Teacher, did you see that? Who said my Mudfish Earth Escape Technique is useless? Even Emperor Realm experts can't do anything to me, hahaha..."
"You deserve to die." The unreachable Manqi suddenly moved and appeared in mid-air, his double maces flying out of his hands.
"Thousand-Pound Break!" The golden double maces instantly transformed into a dragon, rushing towards the ground.
The red dragon, who was spewing vulgarities, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw the twin maces shooting towards him. He finally shut his mouth and plunged into the ground.
boom…………
The two maces made contact with the ground and immediately burst into the earth, releasing a powerful force. The two golden maces moved wildly underground, causing the earth to tremble and shake.
The red dragon underground was feeling rather unwell. Although Manqi was unsure of its exact direction, he could get a general idea. The twin maces were constantly releasing powerful energy, making him dizzy and disoriented.
This made him unable to stay underground any longer, and with a movement of his body, he immediately emerged from the ground.
The moment Manqi emerged from the ground, he reached out and retracted his double maces. Manqi's expression was not good at this moment. In order to force the Crimson Dragon out from underground, he had consumed more source energy than when he dealt with Long Aotian.
"You little rascal, that move of yours was pretty impressive." Red Dragon gave Manqi a thumbs up and praised him.
Manqi stared at the crimson dragon before him, speechless. He had only one thought: to tear the crimson dragon to pieces. He swung his double maces and smashed them down at the crimson dragon.
"You think I'm afraid of you, you little punk? I'll show you what a sword immortal is!" Facing the charging Manqi, Chilong didn't burrow into the ground this time. A dazzling white light emanated from his body, and behind him appeared an old man with flowing white hair and an ethereal aura.
The only downside was that the old man's back was a little hunched and he had quite a few wrinkles on his face.
"Primordial Spirit, Sword Immortal Li Taibai!" the Crimson Dragon shouted loudly. He originally wanted to show off his power, but now he was covered in dust and looked extremely disheveled. Even if his power was not weak, he looked very ridiculous.
At this moment, the primordial spirit Li Taibai suddenly stretched out one hand, pointing two fingers to the sky.
"I have a sword, coming down from the sky." The voice of the sword immortal Li Taibai was very loud. The next second, a long sword suddenly shot down from the sky, heading straight towards the charging Manqi.
boom…………
Instantly, Chi Long and his sword immortal Li Taibai were sent flying like cannonballs, crashing to the ground. Chi Long was lying on his back, extremely disheveled. The long sword that flew from the sky almost pierced his body, causing him to shudder.
"You little brat, you've messed with me!" Chi Long sprang to his feet in a flash, but Sword Immortal Li Taibai wasn't as quick. He slowly got up, clutching his aching back, his face contorted in pain.
"Pathetic." Man Qi hovered in the air and said disdainfully. When the Sword Immortal Li Taibai appeared, he thought he was so powerful! But it turned out to be nothing?
“It seems that one sword is not enough,” said the Crimson Dragon. With a flick of his hand, the sword immortal Li Taibai caused the longsword that had almost pierced the Crimson Dragon’s vital parts to suddenly float up.
“You little bastard, let me show you what it means to have seven swords descend from the heavens!” Red Dragon said, pointing at Manqi.
"You're such a shameless clown, killing you would only dirty my hands." Manqi looked at Chilong, the most shameless person he had ever met in his life.
"I have a sword." Sword Immortal Li Taibai pointed to the sky again, and immediately another long sword flew down from the sky.
"I have one more sword."
Another one came immediately.
"I still have some."
"besides."
……………………
In the blink of an eye, seven longswords hovered in front of the Crimson Dragon, each of them exuding the power of a peak King Realm expert.
Even Manqi's pupils shrank when he saw this scene; this shameless scoundrel in front of him was indeed quite capable.
"You scoundrel, take this!" Chi Long shouted, and seven longswords shot towards Man Qi. Man Qi, wielding two maces, immediately swung them to defend.
boom……………
Manqi immediately took a few steps back. He looked at the seven longswords and a solemn expression appeared on his face. At this moment, he was severely exhausted, and his strength was probably only 40% of what it was at its peak.
Thinking back on everything that had happened, Manqi suddenly realized something. This Crimson Dragon was shameless, but this guy had been constantly depleting his own power.
He knew he was no match for him; the constant verbal humiliation made him lose his temper and waste his energy.
He only unleashes his full power when he's nearly exhausted. Such a person may not be honorable, but this is a battlefield! On the battlefield, nothing else matters except victory. Only victory ensures survival.
"You little brat, now you know how powerful your grandpa is!" Seeing that Manqi had been pushed back a bit, Chilong became smug.
“Hehe…” Manqi looked at Chilong and laughed, “I admit that I underestimated you, but even if I only have 40% of my power left, you still can’t contend with me.”
As soon as Manqi finished speaking, the two maces in his hands hummed instantly, and when Chilong saw this, he hurriedly commanded the seven longswords to sweep towards him.
boom…………
With a single strike, four of the seven longswords were knocked away, while the other three shot towards Manqi from three different directions.
Manqi swung his double maces again, instantly sending the three swords flying.
"Seven Star Sword Formation." With a flick of his hands, the seven swords that had been knocked away instantly transformed into a sword formation, surrounding Manqi.
“You little bastard, I’ll wear you down!” Red Dragon said, pointing at Manqi.
Manqi swung his double maces, unleashing a terrifying power that instantly sent the seven longswords flying. In the blink of an eye, the seven longswords returned, clinging to him like leeches.
"Shameless!" Manqi roared angrily. A shameless person is shameless no matter what they do, even their moves are shameless.
"You little brat, what? You're belittling your grandpa just because you can't beat him? If you're so capable, then break my Seven Star Sword Formation, humph!" Red Dragon launched into his verbal sparring mode once again.
At this moment, Man Qi frowned deeply. It wasn't that he couldn't break the Seven Star Sword Formation, but that if he did break it, he would suffer even greater losses, and he probably wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned by Man Jun.
boom…………
Just as he hesitated with a serious expression, the seven swords once again shot straight at his vital points. He immediately swung his double maces, and a powerful force emanated from them, instantly blasting the seven swords away again.
"No, if this continues, there will only be one outcome: I will be dragged to my death by him." Manqi thought to himself. Even if he just kept going like this, he would still be exhausted. This Seven Star Sword Formation could block him from absorbing source energy.
Thinking of this, a powerful force immediately emanated from his body, and the aura of an emperor instantly spread out. The sword formation composed of the seven swords immediately crackled, and the red dragon's face stiffened instantly.
"You little rascal, want to play a little longer? You're making your grandpa lose face," said Red Dragon.
"Thousand-Pound Break." In an instant, the twin maces in Chilong's hands erupted with unparalleled power. Before this power, Chilong's Seven Star Sword Formation was like withered grass swaying in a gale, utterly vulnerable and instantly blasted away. Chilong and his primordial spirit Li Taibai behind him also staggered. Chilong spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale, while his primordial spirit Li Taibai instantly turned ashen.
At this moment, Manqi's face was also somewhat pale, and he slowly walked towards the Crimson Dragon.
"Damn Long Aotian, couldn't you have seriously injured him before leaving him to me? You're a complete waste." Seeing Manqi walking towards him, Chilong's expression changed drastically. He waved his hands, trying to recall the seven longswords, but the seven longswords did not react at all.
"It's over!" Chi Long's heart skipped a beat, and Man Qi, wielding two maces, suddenly smashed them down on his head.
Inside the Originium Mine, the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array had been completely set up, and Tongtian Daoren's body had disappeared by more than half, leaving only his upper body, which was still quite transparent.
"Disciple, how much of my Heavenly Connection Technique have you memorized?" Tongtian Daoist asked, looking at Gu Yu who was deep in thought.
"Teacher, I only remembered 60% of it," Gu Yu replied. Yes, he only remembered 60% of it; the Heavenly Connection Technique was simply too profound.
"Sixty percent." Tongtian Daoren's eyes flickered upon hearing Gu Yu's answer, clearly showing his shock. "Disciple, the most important aspects of the Heavenly Connection Technique are Mind Connection and Eye Connection. Once you master both, they will greatly benefit you, whether setting up formations or fighting others. Mind Connection grants you powerful calculation abilities, allowing you to calculate every step of the formation clearly. Eye Connection allows you to precisely control the location and every accurate point, as well as its weaknesses."
“Mind-reading, vision-reading,” Gu Yu murmured. “Teacher, I think I understand.”
"Hmm!" Tongtian Daoist nodded. "My time is up. Perfect timing. The God-Slaying Array Plate is ready. You can leave now. Your teacher will take care of the rest."
“Teacher.” Upon hearing Tongtian Daoren’s words, Gu Yu’s eyes reddened, and he felt a pang of reluctance.
"No feast lasts forever. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have been able to pass on everything. Go! Carry my obsession and let those people see what an array is!" After Tongtian Daoren finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the God-Slaying Array Plate immediately lit up with golden light. Two beams of light instantly enveloped Gu Yu and Ri Jiu.
"Goodbye, my disciple." After Tongtian Daoren finished speaking, the Ten Directions Shift on the God-Slaying Array Plate was activated in an instant. The next second, Gu Yu, Ri Jiu, and the God-Slaying Array Plate disappeared instantly.
"What on earth are you all up to? You even gave him your ancestral artifact. It's a very secretive method. If I didn't have the Heavenly Eye, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect anything." After Gu Yu disappeared, Tongtian Daoren said with some confusion, "Alas! It's a pity I'm already dead, otherwise I could have seen what you're plotting. The Source Heart, perhaps?"
The Taoist Master Tongtian looked puzzled and unwilling. "Alas! Never mind, never mind."
Then he suddenly waved his hand, and the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array was activated. The six-pointed star array beneath his feet flashed with dazzling light.
The formation was supposed to operate by continuously sending energy outward from its core, but at this moment, the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation was operating in the opposite way, gathering energy from the outside in. In addition, since this place was located in the center of the Originium Mine, the Origin Energy stratum flow was extremely abundant, and the core of the formation immediately trembled, as if the power was too great and it could no longer bear it.
At this moment, Tongtian Daoren's figure had completely disappeared, but the core of the formation was still operating. The next second, the entire core of the formation suddenly collapsed, and a terrifying power spread out from the core of the formation. The entire Six Harmonies Demon-Controlling Formation trembled at this moment, and the earth trembled violently.
This puzzled everyone in Black Bull Royal City. Was it an earthquake?
Black Wind Whirlwind, in particular, frowned deeply, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"Originium Mine?" At this moment, a royal-level expert suddenly flew up in the royal city. His face was extremely ugly. He instantly headed towards the high-grade Originium Mine. However, before he even reached the Originium Mine, a world-destroying power suddenly spread out from the direction of the Originium Mine, followed by a deafening sound.
At that moment, the minotaurs in the royal city felt as if their ears had been shattered, and the ground beneath their feet and everything before them was collapsing and turning over.
The earth-shattering power instantly swept across most of the royal city, causing space and everything to tremble. Countless buildings and countless minotaurs were instantly reduced to ashes. Even the Emperor Realm cultivator who rushed towards the Originium Mine was instantly reduced to ashes in the face of this power.
The dazzling light and the blankness before my eyes lasted for about fifteen minutes before slowly disappearing.
The entire Black Bull Royal City, covering an area of over a hundred square kilometers, has now been largely wiped out. Even the remaining half is now just ruins and broken walls.
The site of what was once a large, high-grade Originium mine has now become a huge sinkhole, still filled with energy. At the very center of the sinkhole, there is a small, dark hole, which is likely a spatial rift.
