“Who are you? Why did you barge into Daxia City?”
Huang Kun’s remaining eye was flashing with a fierce light. He looked coldly at Ou Yangming, who was slowly descending from the sky.
Ou Yangming did not answer his question. His gaze swept across the entire hall before stopping on Huang Kun, then he narrowed his eyes and said, “Huang Kun, known as Swordmaster 1,000 years ago and was at the First Heaven of the Heavenly Rank. After being injured by a powerhouse from the First Nation, your strength declined drastically. Now, you’re hiding in Daxia City to escape from your.”
Everyone was shocked when Ou Yangming said this.
Huang Kun had been in Daxia City for hundreds of years. Most people did not know his identity and background. Only his confidant, Lord Mo, knew a little. When Ou Yangming revealed his original identity, everyone was in disbelief.
‘Our governor was actually a Heavenly Rank powerhouse? He was chased here by someone?’
‘Is this real or fake?’
In the hall, everyone looked in Huang Kun’s direction, wanting to see how he would answer.
Nonetheless, from Huang Kun’s expression, everyone faintly had some guesses in their hearts.
‘This person might be telling the truth…’
Huang Kun’s expression changed drastically. He did not expect that his identity would be exposed so easily. The other party knew his original strength and realm, yet he still dared to swagger over like this. He must be fearless.
He did not look good. He looked at Ou Yangming and asked, “Are you from the First Nation?”
Huang Kun misunderstood Ou Yangming’s identity and thought that he was sent by the First Nation to kill him.
He had heard that his enemy was doing well in the First Nation. If they found out his identity, it would not be strange for them to send people to kill him.
‘The First Nation?’ Even the old man on the side had a serious look in his eyes.
That was an enormous force. Almost all the powerhouses of the First World had gathered in that nation. The First World had existed for a long time, not far from the birth of the universe. Many races in the primal chaos did not even exist as early as the powerhouses of the First Nation.
Over countless years, the First World had experienced many reincarnations. Naturally, there were numerous powerhouses in the First Nation.
“No.” Ou Yangming shook his head and smiled at Huang Kun. “You don’t have to guess my identity. I’m just an ordinary person and have nothing to do with the First Nation. I’m here for another matter.”
“Who the hell are you?!” Huang Kun’s expression was ferocious, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand. This sword was not an Innate Spirit Treasure, but it was certainly at the peak of an Acquired Taoist Tool. There was a bit of the mysterious yellow Heaven-opening Qi on it.
“I’m Ou Yangming of the Great Wide World, and I’m here to avenge the powerhouses of the Great Wide World that you killed.” Ou Yangming took a step forward.
“You’re courting death!”
Hearing that Ou Yangming had nothing to do with the First Nation and was only a person from the newborn Great Wide World, Huang Kun no longer had any worries in his heart. The treasure sword emitted a brilliant light as a surge of golden sword Qi suddenly slashed in the young fellow’s direction.
Ou Yangming continued to take a step forward. The terrifying sword Qi slashed at his body, but it could not do any harm to him.
In the blink of an eye, Ou Yangming had arrived in front of Huang Kun and raised his palm.
Huang Kun only felt a suffocating aura suddenly attack him. His face was pale, and the terrifying power around him suppressed him to the point that he could not move.
“Sir, save me!” Huang Kun cried out in terror. The person he was asking for help was the old man who had been sitting on the high ground and watching coldly from the side.
“Sir, as long as you save me, I’m willing to offer all of the Flame Ores to you!” Huang Kun threw out all his capital.
The only thing he could offer at the moment was the Flame Ore mine. Flame Ores were precious ores. They could be used to forge fire-attribute equipment and weapons and rarely existed in the primal chaos. The mine beside Daxia City was founded by Huang Kun by chance.
After hearing that, the old man was slightly moved. Daxia City’s mine was incredibly important. If it was not for Huang Kun being cunning and cooperating with the 3 Heavenly Rank clans at the same time, the old man would have killed this so-called governor and forcefully occupied the mine.
Now that the 3 clans had been restraining each other previously, his clan only had 25% of the harvest from the mine.
Adding Huang Kun’s share, their clan’s share would double!
This was a good thing!
The old man stood up and asked, “Friend, there must be some misunderstanding. Why don’t you stop first?”
“What if I don’t!” Ou Yangming completely ignored him and slapped down.
“Boom!”
The ground cracked, and Huang Kun fell to the ground. The life force on his body had disappeared.
A top-tier powerhouse who was a half step into the Heavenly Rank could not even block a single move from Ou Yangming.
The people around were so scared that they almost fell to the ground. The governor, whom they thought was invincible, was killed so easily.
Upon seeing what happened, the old man’s expression changed slightly. He pointed at Ou Yangming and shouted, “Didn’t I tell you to stop? Why did you kill him?”
“Stop?” Ou Yangming raised his head and looked at the old man with disdain.
“If I stop just because you told me to stop, won’t I lose face?”
“How dare you!” The old man roared, “Are you going against the Bai Family?”
“I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of the Bai family,” Ou Yangming said indifferently.
“You’re courting death!”
With a whoosh, a sword appeared in the old man’s hand.
Crack! Crack! Crack! A gust of strong wind blew the surrounding dining tables into the sky, and everyone fled in a hurry.
That said, when they smashed the wall and intended to rush out, they found that the entire palace had been surrounded by golden light. The people from the Governor’s Residence tried their best, but they were unable to destroy the light at all.
They looked at Ou Yangming in horror and quickly guessed the reason. When this powerhouse came in from the outside, he had locked down the palace.
‘What is he doing?’
‘Is he planning to kill us all! ?’
Everyone looked at the governor lying on the ground with fear in their eyes.
The city was already dead, could they still survive? No, there was still hope! They still had one hope, and that was that old man.
That was the Bai family’s great ancestor, an authentic Heavenly Rank powerhouse. He was exceptionally powerful, and he would be able to defeat that young fellow.
The sword-light slashed down, and the aura of extermination filled the entire palace.
Facing this true Heavenly Rank powerhouse, Ou Yangming was not worried at all because he was much weaker than Dao Xuanji.
Ou Yangming knew the origin of this Heavenly Rank powerhouse. He knew this person’s background from the scholarly man. The old man was the great ancestor of the Bai family in Baidi City and was one of the few Heavenly Rank powerhouses left in the Mystic Yellow World. He was only at the First Heaven of the Heavenly Rank.
At this level, a Heavenly Rank powerhouse had just passed the threshold and was only slightly stronger than those who had just broken through to the Heavenly Rank.
The old man dared to attack Ou Yangming because Ou Yangming came from the lower realm. Even if the young fellow had broken through to the Heavenly Rank, he figures that he would be the weakest among the Heavenly Rank powerhouses. Moreover, it was impossible for the young fellow to have any powerful weapons. Great Ancestor Bai did not know that he had miscalculated Ou Yangming’s strength.
Ou Yangming grinned.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the sword-light that was stabbing toward him. This boundless sword-light could easily kill a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank like Daxia City’s governor. That being said, this was just a joke to Ou Yangming.
Even if Ou Yangming had not broken through to the Heavenly Rank, this kind of lethality would not be able to harm him.
Xing Tian had said that Ou Yangming was already comparable to a Heavenly Rank powerhouse at the Second or Third Heaven when he was only a half step to the Heavenly Rank.
“Woosh!” The Reincarnation Spear appeared in his hand and struck out!
The Reincarnation Spear seemed to have transformed into a horned dragon as it suddenly struck toward the treasure sword of the Bai family’s great ancestor.
“Clang!”
The Bai family’s great ancestor only felt his arm tremble as a huge force came down, causing his body to fly backward involuntarily.
‘How could he have such powerful strength?’ The great ancestor’s face was pale.
The spear continued to move forward…
“Clang, clang, clang!”
Great Ancestor Bai suddenly struck 3 more times while retreating. He wanted to reduce the pressure on his body, but it was only in vain. The speed of the Reincarnation Spear did not decrease at all.
It was like a hot knife cutting through butter. It knocked away the treasure sword in Great Ancestor Bai’s hand and stopped steadily on his neck. Blood flowed out from the corner of Great Ancestor Bai’s mouth. He was seriously injured.
“Now, do you still intend to meddle in other people’s business?” Ou Yangming asked indifferently.
Great Ancestor Bai’s eyes were filled with fear. He felt the coldness coming from his neck, and his heart trembled.
“No, no.”
Great Ancestor Bai shook his head. He had recognized that his opponent’s strength was not something he could contend with. If he did not compromise, not only would he lose his life, but the Bai family might also be implicated by him.
“Then get lost!” Ou Yangming retracted his spear.
He did not kill this old man. If he killed him, he would have to exterminate the entire Bai family. This would be too troublesome. The young fellow only needed to let the old man know that he could not provoke him. In the future, even if the old man was extremely bold, the members of the Bai family would not dare to come to Daxia City.
In this way, Ou Yangming’s goal was achieved. A hole appeared in the golden light outside, and the Bai family’s great ancestor crawled out from it and disappeared into the sky. He had been scared out of his wits just now.
‘Who’s that person? Is he really from the lower realm? How could he have such powerful strength?’
The Bai family’s great ancestor fled in a panic. He calculated in his heart that the strength of the person just now was at least at the Third Heaven or even higher. ‘With such strength, why didn’t he cultivate in the primal chaos? Why did he come to Daxia City?’
He could not figure it out, but he understood one thing.
In the future, Daxia City could not be provoked, and the Flame Ores would have nothing to do with them.
“Greetings, sir.”
“I beg for your mercy, sir!”
…
The powerhouses in the Governor’s Residence knelt on the ground one by one, their eyes imploring. Great Ancestor Bai had run away, but they were still trapped here with no chance to leave.
Everyone’s mood had hit rock bottom. They did not know what their fate would be…
