"As expected of the ruler of the Tianyu Dynasty, what you've said has put me in a bit of a difficult position."
Zhou Mu looked slightly embarrassed, but soon that look disappeared. He stretched out his hand, his dark eyes falling on Qiu Haomiao.
"I want something from you. Give it to me and I'll let you leave safely."
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Haomiao revealed a sinister smile. He chuckled for a long while before lowering his eyes, his slightly cold gaze then focusing on him. "I originally thought you were from the Nine Star Auction House, but I never expected that a petty thief like you would dare to lay a hand on me. Do you really think you're living too comfortably?"
Previously, he had only shown his cowardice because he thought that Zhou Mu and the other person might be from the Nine Star Auction House. But when Zhou Mu mentioned the Divine Radiance Sword, he realized that things were not so simple.
After all, it's common knowledge that the Divine Radiance Sword is still in the Nine Star Auction House. Zhou Mu's statement implies that he was unaware of the inside story, and therefore has nothing to do with the Nine Star Auction House.
Therefore, he has nothing to fear.
He had originally planned to give Zhou Mu another chance, treating him as a petty thief who wouldn't be fooled.
But seeing that Zhou Mu seemed unwilling to let him go, his expression changed, and he sneered, saying, "Boy, do you know who I am?"
“I know.” Zhou Mu nodded, took a step back, and made a gesture as if to grasp the dagger at his waist, but his eyes were fixed on Qiu Haomiao, “The ruler of the Tianyu Dynasty, the person in charge of the Divine Realm in the Desolate Heaven Domain.”
He paused for a moment, a strange smile appearing on his face.
He knew this guy was the type who loved to use impressive-sounding titles to intimidate others, so he added, "Do you need anything else to add? For example, the most loyal servant of Wu Ming, the young master of the Divine Realm."
As the word "lackey" fell, Qiu Haomiao's face turned completely gloomy, and his cold eyes, like sharp knives, pierced through him.
"You will regret what you said, but unfortunately, I won't give you the chance to regret it."
boom
The next moment
A surge of immense spiritual power erupted from his body in an instant, flowing endlessly like a mighty river, enveloping the world in a mere moment.
The dark sky seemed to brighten a little more at this moment.
Zhou Mu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he suddenly felt that Qiu Haomiao was different from usual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
Qiu Haomiao suddenly reached out with his palm.
The majestic spiritual energy condensed into a giant hand in mid-air. The residual power emanating from it caused the heavens and earth to tremble, the ground to crack inch by inch, the surrounding winds to rise, and the leaves to fall more frequently, like rain.
Despite the impending crisis, Zhou Mu remained unusually calm. He glanced at Han Fei and asked, "Is there any way?"
Han Fei nodded and said, "Of course."
Zhou Mu stepped back, leaving the stage to Han Fei.
Han Fei took a step forward, his palm suddenly reaching out into the void. Immediately, a dazzling spiritual light flashed, and a brilliant golden light appeared, revealing a sharp sword in his palm.
The moment it appeared, streaks of cold light flashed, and in a short instant, the space was stretched into countless dark arcs.
"Hiss!" Upon seeing the sword, Qiu Haomiao's eyes froze in terror. He gasped, then looked up in horror, swallowed hard, and exclaimed, "The Divine Radiance Sword..."
Because Wu Ming showed great interest in the Divine Radiance Sword, he also paid close attention to it.
At this moment, the sword that appeared out of thin air in Han Fei's hand was actually the same spiritual weapon that the Lord of the Desolate Heaven Domain had used before.
However, there is a difference: the Divine Radiance Sword displayed the power of a quasi-Emperor, while the one in front of us was not only virtualized with powerful spiritual energy, but also only displayed the aura of a Saint King.
What exactly are you?
Qiu Haomiao glanced at it and became even more certain that the sword in Han Fei's hand was exactly the same as the legendary Divine Radiance Sword. His surprise and doubt deepened.
Along with this came a profound sense of shock.
Han Fei didn't speak, but just gestured randomly at the sky. Then a buzzing sound rang out, and the next moment, the places where the Divine Radiance Sword had been slashed slowly solidified into sharp blades.
splash ...
The sword blades shot out like a rain of arrows.
The powerful spiritual energy, accompanied by terrifying force, was like a meteor hitting the earth.
Before Qiu Haomiao could react, the force swept over him like a devastating force. He was able to briefly condense the strength of a Saint King with the magic weapon given to him by Wu Ming, but even so, he still had no power to resist.
boom
Countless sword blades instantly melted away the giant palm, and then, without diminishing their momentum, charged towards Qiu Haomiao.
"You're overestimating yourself."
Qiu Haomiao sighed.
Despite the imminent attack, he remained remarkably calm.
Perhaps he had long been prepared for death.
He knew very well that being the person in charge of the Divine Realm was like dealing with a tiger for its skin; he might be sold out at any time, just like now, where he was being sold out and was still helping the seller count the money.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Haomiao.
As the figure appeared, the countless sword blades shattered and dissipated into countless beams of sword light.
"Who are you?"
Qiu Haomiao was not surprised at all by the appearance of that person.
The man said calmly, "The young master sent someone to protect you. He ordered that until the sixty million is raised, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, he won't be able to take your life."
For some reason, even though he had escaped death, Qiu Haomiao felt no joy; instead, his expression became even more sorrowful.
Where on earth could he possibly obtain so many 60 million Origin Stones?
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny.
No, it's 60 million that's enough to stump even a hero.
Qiu Haomiao sighed deeply, but the situation forced him to pull himself together. Just as he raised his head, Han Fei and Zhou Mu had already disappeared from sight.
"They ran away?"
"What a bunch of useless trash."
Qiu Haomiao shook his head. When he came to his senses, the person who had stepped forward earlier was gone.
Now, he was the only one left in the vast space.
"What terrible things have I done?!"
Qiu Haomiao's sigh carried far into the distance.
Not far away, Zhou Mu watched quietly until he was sure Qiu Haomiao had left before he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Han Fei, saying, "You mean that guy really didn't take the Divine Radiance Sword?"
Han Fei said, "I'm sure, I didn't sense the aura of the Divine Radiance Sword on him."
"You should have said so earlier. I made a wasted trip." Zhou Mu said helplessly.
