“Oh? Really? The number one of the Qi Lian Boundary looks highly upon me, looks like I should be proud.”
“The Eastern Emperor Sect has produced two young powerful experts, the prodigious Donghuang Tai’a and the monstrous Jiang Chen, not any sects could replicate that.” Xuan Shenji said.
His sect elders mentioned the name of Jiang Chen before, one that was invincible in Linhe Boundary. Although it was just a rumour, it might also be true. Jiang Chen’s story in the Linhe Boundary was pretty powerful and mysterious.
“However, if you guys wish to touch Gui Gu, perhaps, you’ll have to get through me first.” Xuan Shenji smiled, extremely confident.
At least, only Jiang Chen and Donghuang Tai’a dared to go against him, he was like a supreme king, one that could not be denied by others.
“Xuan Shenji, pretty ballsy of you to say that. I, Donghuang Tai’a, am not afraid of you.” Donghuang Tai’a said coldly as he stared at Xuan Shenji.
Xuan Shenji was not angry but gave a faint smile and nodded.
“You’ll be Qi Lian Boundary’s number one once you defeat me, however… you’ll have to succeed first!”
Xuan Shenji and Gui Gu were now on the same side.
Now, it’s one party against another, Donghuang Tai’a knew that it was impossible for him to face the both of them alone. He did not know how powerful Jiang Chen really was. Although they have the number advantage, it’s not enough to sway the balance of the battle.
“Help me!”
“Motherf*cker, there’s a ghost!”
Screams could be heard, as men, amounting 30-40 of them, came running out in distraught. Zhang Tianming was the first to come out from the canyon, their expressions were pale, these Divine Kings were like dogs running away with tails between their legs.
“Look, why are those guys running?” Mo Sanpao said.
Those were the guys that were fighting under the frozen canyon. Now, they were running away as if the death god was right behind them.
Zhang Tianming saw Gui Gu and his expression changed:
“So, this is your plot! Gui Gu, you motherf*cker!” Zhang Tianming cursed.
He finally knew that it was Gui Gu who placed that trap. Gui Gu already knew that there was a beast inside the lake.
“So what? You’re as stupid as a pig, do you want others to pay the price for your arrogance? Trash.” Gui Gu sneered as he looked at Zhang Tianming, a stupid fool.
“Gui Gu, I’ll f*cking kill you!” Zhang Tianming roared madly in anger, releasing the aura of a Mid Divine King.
Previously, he was chased after by the Giant Sturgeon, now, he needed to regain his position.
“Loser, I will let you know how powerful this Zhang Tianming is!”
Gui Gu sneered as he faced Zhang Tianming’s arrogance. This fella realised that I’ve made a fool out of him but did not realise how far apart our strength is.
“Utterly foolish.” Gui Gu harrumphed as he faced Zhang Tianming head on with a cold expression.
He threw a powerful palm strike that almost killed Zhang Tianming. Zhang Tianming was sent flying backwards powerlessly, his expression became pale as if he was on the verge of death.
The expressions of those behind Zhang Tianming changed drastically. Gui Gu, who was previously powerless against Zhang Tianming, managed to exert such powerful might just now, pushing Zhang Tianming back in a single palm strike, the latter did not have any chance to retaliate at all.
“Is that the true Gui Gu?”
“We’ve been duped, how could Gui Gu be that weak? The prodigy of Killing Luo Sect, hehe, we’re too naive.”
“The most ignorant one should be Zhang Tianming. That fella really thought Gui Gu was actually weak, until he was swept up the floor against him.”
“Gui Gu’s power is not something we could even compare against.”
The expressions of those Divine Kings that were running away from the frozen canyon changed drastically. Everyone knew that Zhang Tianming was making a fool out of himself, the previous Gui Gu was just toying with him, he could never last a round against Gui Gu.
Zhang Tianming had utterly lost, yet his heart still could not accept it. Then, everything that had happened earlier, everything is just a fleeting dream? I could’ve set my place in the Battle Royale of the Nine Boundaries…. He could never measure up against Gui Gu.
Zhang Tianming laughed, he was mentally broken, he had become a joke. Gui Gu was still peerlessly powerful and he was fated to die soon, he should’ve guessed this kind of ending the moment he got too cocky. Not anyone could reach the top and be revered by all, it was just his dream.
“I’ve lost, to think I’ve lost.” Zhang Tianming murmured.
He refused to believe what was happening, he should be the one reigning supreme in Wang Di Mountain as he managed to defeat Gui Gu, a demon king.
Anything could happen in life, just a minute ago, he was the top-contender but in the next moment, he became the loser. Those that were standing behind him earlier sneered at him, this was human nature, the weak shall never receive any pity.
“You’re but a loser. Hmph, you didn’t just lose yourself, you also lost your heart. You got too cocky, you can’t even see what’s in front of you. Trying to reach the sky in a single-go, it’s a pity you fell terribly short, what awaited you is just heartless ridicule.” Mo Sanpao sneered.
Zhang Tianming got what he deserved. He saw through Gui Gu’s scheme, it’s a pity that Zhang Tianming was so anxious to succeed that he thought he was invincible after defeating Gui Gu. The last encounter threw him off his dream, threw him back to reality.
Zhang Tianming was ridiculed and his life was of no matter, he’s just a puppet made by Gui Gu, those experts that ran away from the canyon looked at each other, they dare not go against Gui Gu.
Zhang Tianming getting what he deserved was undeniable, only the strong could lead, the weak shall never have any authority.
“What happened?” Donghuang Tai’a said.
Everyone looked at each other with lingering fear.
