The strength of the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader was astonishing. He was not at a disadvantage even when fighting against 2 people at the same time.
Since the Demon King’s strength was restored by 30% in a hurry, he was far from his peak condition. The Nine-sworded Ruler was also injured. The 2 of them would not be able to gain any advantage even if they worked together.
In the sky, sword-lights were everywhere.
The 3 of them fought until the sky turned dark. The sun and moon shifted. In the Desolate Ancient Ruins, many powerhouses could feel the powerful energy erupting from this side, but no one came here. Everyone hid far away. The fight here was not something that other people could participate in.
During this period, Ou Yangming and Li Daoyi had also killed some Ancient Demons. Now, they had more than 120,000 points.
The effect of 2 powerhouses in the second step working together was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
Even so, the gap between them and the master of the Heavenly Star Mansion was getting bigger. That man seemed to have eaten some mysterious pill as he massacred crazily. His points were approaching the 150,000 mark, but Ou Yangming and Li Daoyi did not know that.
“What a mighty force!”
Li Daoyi and Ou Yangming were flying in the air. They suddenly felt a powerful force erupting in front of them. This force even made the powerhouses in the second step tremble.
The former looked ahead and said in a deep voice, “It’s thousands of kilometers away. The Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader and that Demon King must be fighting.”
“The Demon King?”
Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with doubt. “Is the Demon King very powerful?”
Li Daoyi’s tone was serious as he said, “Of course, he’s powerful. The Demon King is the title of the strongest Ancient Demon. Ordinary Demon Kings are mighty figures in the third step. Rumor has it that there are even more powerful Demon Kings. Even mighty human figures in the third step can’t contend against them!”
Ou Yangming stared straight ahead. He could feel it even more clearly than Li Daoyi. He could also sense 3 auras from there. There was also the Nine-sworded Ruler who had sneaked in. If the young fellow’s senses were not wrong, the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect should be facing the combined attacks of the Demon King and the Nine-sworded Ruler.
“The Demon King must be worth a lot of points!” Ou Yangming’s lips curled up slightly.
Li Daoyi widened his eyes in disbelief. “Don’t tell me that you’re thinking of hitting on the Demon King. I advise you to give up on the idea. The Demon King isn’t something we can contend with. You should know how big the gap between the second step and the third step is.”
“How would I know if I don’t try?”
Ou Yangming got up and flew forward.
Li Daoyi’s expression changed drastically as he shouted, “Ou Yangming, are you crazy? You’re seeking your death!”
Ou Yangming ignored him and continued flying in that direction. He could feel that the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect was not at a disadvantage. Moreover, the young fellow’s strength was not something that he could compare with before. With his full strength, he was confident that he could block a few moves even against the Nine-sworded Ruler.
If there was no one else, Ou Yangming would not go and suffer bad luck. With the leader of the Mystic Sky Sect there, it was worth it for him to take the risk.
Ou Yangming was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity where both sides would suffer heavy losses.
The risk was great, but the reward would be great as well.
If he killed the Demon King, his points would certainly be ranked first. He could get the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit. Of course, finding an opportunity to kill the Nine-sworded Ruler was his ultimate goal.
Seeing that Ou Yangming had no intention of turning back, Li Daoyi struggled. After a while, he gritted his teeth and flew over as well.
The Demon King was very formidable but with the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader, a mighty human powerhouse, Li Daoyi might not be implicated. He had traveled with Ou Yangming for so long, so he could not watch the young fellow take such a risk.
At this time, the northern wind howled as Ou Yangming stood in the distance, staring ahead.
The fight was still ongoing. Even with the Nine-sworded Ruler and the Demon King joining forces, they could only fight equally with the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect.
“Heavenly Sword Technique!”
The Nine-sworded Ruler shouted loudly. A 33-kilometers-long sword-light condensed in the air, and the sword Qi was as cold as ice and snow that had not melted for 10,000 years.
Ice and snow flew over, and the sky seemed to be frozen.
“Take my Heaven’s Destruction Claw!” Demon King Taotie’s body also rapidly expanded. His sharp claws slashed through the air, and they covered the sky and the ground.
After fighting for so long, the Nine-sworded Ruler and the Demon King were furious, and they both used their trump cards.
The Mystic Sky Sect sect leader’s expression did not change. Facing the 2 of them, he still maintained his demeanor. His eyes were as bright as the stars, and he snorted coldly.
“Sword, come!”
An Acquired Taoist Tool, a treasure sword, flew over from afar. 1 sword turned into 2, which turned into 4. The number of swords increased, and they densely covered the sky.
“Clang, clang, clang!” The broken spaces had become unstable.
Powerful and boundless auras spread out from the 3 figures, flying into the distance. The ground was torn apart, and yellow sand covered the sky. Ou Yangming’s expression did not change. The power of laws on his body appeared, blocking the aftershocks of the battle.
They were 50 kilometers away, but the fight between the 3 figures could still tear apart the clear sky here. That terrifying light wave was something that even a Ruler would be unable to resist.
A stream of light flashed past, and Li Daoyi flew over from afar.
After landing on the ground, he anxiously said, “Ou Yangming, let’s leave this place quickly.”
In Li Daoyi’s opinion, a powerhouse in the third step was too strong. There was simply no way to resist such a powerhouse. The aftermath of the battle was already so powerful. If the other party intentionally targeted them, they would not be able to escape at all.
Furthermore, there were 3 figures there.
Li Daoyi looked into the distance. One of the 3 figures was the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect, and the other was the Demon King in the ruins. He was shocked about the other person.
‘As a member of the Humans, why did he choose to help the Ancient Demon and go against our people?’
Li Daoyi did not understand. He did not think too much because this place was not suitable for him to stay for long.
“I won’t leave this place.”
Ou Yangming’s eyes flashed. Even if the Demon King and the Nine-sworded Ruler joined forces, they were still no match for the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect. This was a good opportunity for him.
Such an opportunity was only available once. If he missed it, he did not know how long he would have to wait to take revenge.
The Nine-sworded Ruler did not exist in this world. If he returned to the Third World, it would be even more difficult for Ou Yangming to take revenge then.
Li Daoyi did not know what Ou Yangming was thinking. At this moment, he only wanted to leave this place.
“Why?” Li Daoyi asked fiercely.
‘This is a fight between powerhouses in the third step. It’s not something we can participate in, okay? Staying here would only bring danger and no benefits. It’ll be fine if the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect won but if he lost, the outcome would be…’
Li Daoyi did not believe that the Demon King and that mysterious powerhouse would let him and Ou Yangming go if they were discovered.
The corners of Ou Yangming’s mouth curled up. “Among those 3 figures, there’s someone who has a grudge against me.”
He did not lie to Li Daoyi. Ou Yangming could see that Li Daoyi was genuinely worried for him.
“There’s someone who has a grudge against you?” Li Daoyi cried out involuntarily. Then, he asked in shock, “Are you kidding me? How could a mighty figure in the third step have a grudge against you?”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.” Ou Yangming turned his gaze over and stared at the battlefield again.
“Could it be that you’re here to…” Li Daoyi seemed to have sensed the crazy thoughts in Ou Yangming’s heart. He said anxiously, “That’s impossible. I don’t know which of the 3 of them have a grudge against you, but I’m sure that it’s impossible for you to take advantage of them. As long as a third-step powerhouse has a breath, he can kill us first.”
Li Daoyi did not expect that Ou Yangming would have such a crazy idea.
Ou Yangming did not take Li Daoyi’s words to heart. He said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry. I know what to do. If I don’t have absolute confidence, I won’t take the risk.”
As he spoke, the light wave flew over again. The power of the laws on his body flashed and blocked them out.
“You must be crazy!” Li Daoyi sensed the determination in Ou Yangming’s heart.
“Who’s the person who has a grudge against you?” Li Daoyi asked again.
Ou Yangming pointed ahead and said indifferently, “It’s the human with the big sword. His name is the Nine-sworded Ruler. He isn’t from this world.”
“He’s actually not from this world. No wonder…”
The doubts in Li Daoyi’s heart were also solved. ‘No wonder he’s helping the Demon King to deal with the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect. It turns out that he’s not from this world.’
“Why do you have a feud with him?” Li Daoyi asked.
Ou Yangming’s gaze turned cold. “2 important figures to me died because of him.”
The fight on the other side became more intense. The 3 figures used their ultimate moves frequently, and it had already turned into a battle of life-or-death. The sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect began to take the initiative. After the Nine-sworded Ruler and the Demon King used their full strengths, they gradually lost the upper hand.
As the 3 of them exchanged blows, the Demon King and the Nine-sworded Ruler were both injured to varying degrees. The sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect did not look too good either.
“Sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect, if we continue to fight, we might all be injured. How about we stop now?” After one move, the Nine-sworded Ruler stepped into the void.
The Demon King’s eyes were blood-red, and his body was covered in wounds.
“In your dreams!” The Mystic Sky Sect sect leader’s gaze turned cold. He had no intention of discussing with the other party.
It would be fine if it was just the Nine-sworded Ruler alone. Now that he was in cahoots with the Demon King as well, no matter what the 2 of them were plotting, it was definitely not good news for the Humans in the Great Wide World.
“Sword, come!”
The Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader waved his hand again, and countless sword-lights appeared under his feet.
He raised his hand.
“Go!”
The sword-lights flashed.
Countless sword images appeared and flew toward the Nine-sworded Ruler and the Demon King, layer by layer. This time, the sword-lights were even more fearsome. The sect leader had already unleashed his maximum strength.
The expressions of the Nine-sworded Ruler and the Demon King changed simultaneously.
They did not expect the sect leader to be so decisive. He did not even give them a moment to catch their breath.
The 2 of them were helpless. They could only meet him head-on once again.
Boom!
The space was completely torn apart. A huge crack appeared. The Nine-sworded Ruler’s body trembled as he fell to the ground together with the Demon King.
There were traces of blood at the corner of the Mystic Heaven Sect’s sect leader’s mouth.
His treasure sword had to be stabbed into the ground for him to stabilize his body.
“The opportunity is here!”
Ou Yangming’s gaze focused, and the Reincarnation Spear instantly appeared in his hand. With a single step, he was already a kilometer away.
‘Be careful!’
Li Daoyi transmitted his voice.
