After discovering the traces of Ou Yangming and Du Xie at the previous Shaman Tribe, Jin Cheng quickly followed them. He was the fastest and the first one to arrive here.
Jin Cheng’s eyes were malicious. He glanced over the 2 of them then stared at Du Xie and asked, “Old man, where did you hide the others?”
He had thought that Du Xie would bring the entire tribe with him. He did not expect that there were only 2 of them.
Du Xie raised his head and shouted in a deep voice, “Who are you?”
“Who am I?” Jin Cheng laughed maniacally. He looked at Du Xie with pity and answered, “It seems that your tribe has declined completely. You don’t even know who I am. Listen carefully. I’m Jin Cheng, the king of the Golden Crow Clan.”
Du Xie’s expression changed slightly. He had also sensed the powerful aura from the other party. He realized that his guess was not wrong, by which the king of the Golden Crows had broken through to the second step.
This was not a surprise. After all, such a long time had passed. Even a pig could turn into a powerhouse.
In the underground world, the environment was harsh. Nonetheless, how could a person who could become a Ruler be compared to an ordinary person.
“I’ll make a move first and end this as soon as possible.”
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming’s voice transmission appeared in Du Xie’s mind.
Du Xie looked around then looked at the sky and sneered. “You’re just a pitiful worm that has been sealed by our ancestors for countless years. Your name isn’t worthy of being remembered by me.”
“You’re courting death!”
The dignity of a king could not be offended, especially when the other party’s strength was inferior to his. Du Xie’s words made Jin Cheng very furious.
Jin Cheng raised the golden treasure sword in his hand and quickly charged in the direction of Du Xie.
At this moment.
Ou Yangming, who was beside Du Xie, moved. When Du Xie successfully angered Jin Cheng and gained his full attention, the young fellow quickly made his move, and the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer broke through the air.
“Big Avalanche!”
The Blood Spear Dragon Slayer seemed to have returned from the glacier, bringing with it a bone-piercing coldness. The spear shot out like a dragon. Like an avalanche, large snowballs rolled over.
Jin Cheng had not noticed Ou Yangming at first. He had thought that this young fellow was just Du Xie’s follower. Du Xie was the clan master of the Shaman Tribe, but the young fellow did not have any identity.
The Nine-sworded Ruler did not tell Jin Cheng about Ou Yangming because he had his dignity. He would not tell others that a Ruler who had just comprehended the laws had escaped from him.
Jin Wu was even less so. He had begged for mercy and felt that he had lost his reputation. If it was not necessary, he would hide what had happened that day.
At this time, Jin Cheng was slightly shocked. He curled the corners of his mouth. Ou Yangming had aroused his interest.
“Interesting.”
After snorting coldly, Jin Cheng turned his gaze and drew back his longsword. He suddenly thrust it in Ou Yangming’s direction. The sword Qi surged, and the powerhouse in the second step of the laws was also very terrifying.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not feel much. After witnessing the Nine-sworded Ruler’s sword-light, he felt that Jin Cheng’s attacking power was several levels lower.
The Nine-sworded Ruler’s sword gave off an unrivaled aura, but the sword in Jin Cheng’s hand was not enough to make Ou Yangming feel a fatal threat.
“Boom!”
The snow mountain collapsed. Ou Yangming and Jin Cheng retreated hundreds of steps.
Jin Cheng’s eyes were filled with shock. This young fellow’s strength was even stronger than he had imagined, and the fellow could actually block him.
He was clearly a Ruler who had fathomed the laws.
Ou Yangming’s boundary was clear to Jin Cheng. After all, a Ruler who had just understood the laws was still a long way from the second step.
Even so, Ou Yangming easily blocked Jin Cheng.
This made Jin Cheng feel somewhat incredulous.
‘Genius! He’s a genius!’
Jin Cheng’s eyes were ice-cold, and the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
“I want to see what other moves you have!”
Jin Cheng steadied his body and jumped in the air again, slashing his longsword at Ou Yangming’s head. He did not know the young fellow’s specific strength just now but this time, he used his full strength.
The sword-light whistled over, but Ou Yangming had a mocking look on his face.
“Not enough! Still not enough!”
“What do you mean?” Jin Cheng did not understand what Ou Yangming was talking about.
Facing this violent sword Qi, Ou Yangming did not retreat but advanced. He took a step forward, his body was fast and fierce, and the Dragon Slayer flew out.
A black dragon on the tip of the spear struggled and flew out, opening its bloody mouth.
“Heaven’s Destruction!”
Ou Yangming growled in a low voice. His voice was hoarse as if he had used up all his strength.
Jin Cheng’s sword-light was swallowed by the black dragon in one gulp, which made him widen his eyes in disbelief. “How could this be? This isn’t real!”
He could not believe that his full-strength attack was swallowed by his opponent’s move.
‘Isn’t this a little exaggerated? He’s only a Ruler who has just comprehended the laws!’
After the black dragon swallowed the sword-light, it roared like an awakened ancient dragon. Its voice was like a dragon’s roar, carrying a strong sound wave attack.
Jin Cheng was slightly absent-minded. The black dragon was already in front of him. He hurriedly raised the treasure sword in his hand to resist.
Boom! Boom!
Jin Cheng retreated a kilometer away. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood splattered in the air like plum blossoms in winter.
“Clang!”
Ou Yangming also fell to the ground. The long spear in his hand sank into the ground, barely supporting his body.
His body was empty as there was no spiritual Qi left. The move just now had emptied all the spiritual Qi in his body. He did not think much when he attacked, so he used his full strength. After familiarizing himself with the move a few times, he let the power burst out even more thoroughly this time.
Despite that, the magnitude of the power was proportional to the cost. Ou Yangming had unleashed a destructive power that was stronger than before, but he had also consumed all of his energy.
Jin Cheng’s body was on the verge of collapsing as if he was going to fall at any moment.
“So strong!” Du Xie looked at Ou Yangming with a look of admiration on his face. He had still underestimated the righteous young fellow. He had thought that the fellow would at most be able to contend with a Ruler of the second step. Unexpectedly, Ou Yangming had used a thunderous method and beaten the king of the Golden Crows until he was on the verge of death.
Looking at Jin Cheng, who had shown his real body in the distance, Du Xie took a step forward. The Golden Crows’ king was struggling to survive, so the clan master could definitely finish him off.
Just when Du Xie was about to make a move, he looked at the sky. He hesitated for a moment and gave up on killing Jin Cheng. He grabbed Ou Yangming and quickly fled into the distance.
The figures in the sky eventually became clearer. Hundreds of Golden Crows flew over quickly. They saw Jin Cheng sitting on the ground, looking panicked.
“King, what happened to you?”
“King, who hurt you?”
A few powerhouses landed on the ground and quickly ran over.
“Stay here and heal me. As for the rest, chase after them. Also, send the news to Sir Nine-sworded Ruler and tell him that I’ve found them.” Jin Cheng’s voice was a little weak. After giving a few instructions, he did not even have the strength to speak.
A few Golden Crows hurriedly sat cross-legged beside him. Golden lights flickered on their bodies as they unreservedly transferred energies to him.
The rest of them did not stay idle either. After transmitting the message to the Nine-sworded Ruler according to Jin Cheng’s instructions, they flew into the air again and chased in the direction that their king had indicated.
Carrying Ou Yangming on his back, Du Xie flew quickly in the air. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young fellow also quickly adjusted his breathing and began to slowly recover the spiritual power in his body.
This had also taught Ou Yangming a lesson. In the future, if he were to use Heaven’s Destruction, he must leave a bottom line for himself.
If it was not a situation where he was doomed to die, he could not be as impulsive as he was earlier. If Du Xie was not by his side today, he could imagine the consequences.
He would be torn to pieces by those furious Golden Crows. He reckoned that even his ashes would not be left behind.
Besides, the Phoenixes!
All of this was caused by the Phoenixes. After leaving this place, Ou Yangming must question what they were doing.
If there was not a reasonable explanation, he would become enemies with the Phoenixes in the future.
After all, he almost died because of the Phoenixes. This was certainly not something that could be easily explained.
Du Xie was very fast, but the Golden Crows behind him were not slow either. They were a race that dominated by speed and fire.
In order not to be caught by them, Du Xie burned 500 years of his life before he managed to shake them off. They found a small valley then descended.
The surrounding mountains and rivers were extensive. There were many mountains like the heart of origins, and they were also the best place to hide. As long as they hid their auras well, even if the other party had more people, it would not be easy to find this place.
Ou Yangming sat on the grass and circulated his cultivation technique. The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth entered his body from the outside world like a drop of water falling into a dry pond.
The speed was too slow. After 10 days, he barely recovered a third of his spiritual Qi.
Du Xie did not cultivate. He had been acting as a scout, keeping watch outside the mountain. Whenever someone came, the 2 of them hurriedly hid.
In the past 10 days, there were many people from the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis who came, but not once were they found.
This made Ou Yangming let out a sigh of relief. It was impossible for the other party to keep their attention on the 2 of them. As long as they could endure for a period, the danger would be greatly reduced.
The big mountain was very quiet. The 2 of them were somewhat free to hide here. During this period, Ou Yangming had entered the poisonous pill’s world a few times. Lil’ Red looked a little tired. When he saw Ou Yangming, his eyes flickered as if the young fellow had been deceived by the Phoenixes because of him.
“It’s not your fault, and I don’t blame you.” Ou Yangming had comforted him several times, but he could not make the little red bird return to his original naivety.
“That’s right, red-feathered bird. We’re friends with Lil’ Ming, This has nothing to do with your kind. They deliberately bullied Lil’ Ming this time. Once I get out, I’ll teach them a good lesson.” It was rare that Big Yellow did not bicker with Lil’ Red.
“Don’t be angry. I’ve brought you good things this time,” Ou Yangming said with a smile.
Lil’ Red and Big Yellow were curious. “What good things?”
