“Brother, you’re here in time. I’ve been plotted against by a sly person. Let’s leave this place first. I’m seriously injured.” Zhong Ao caught his breath.

Di Jiu chuckled. “No need, she has caught up.”

After saying that, Di Jiu hinted for Black Fire to move to the side.

A woman in gold cultivating attire appeared in front of Di Jiu and Zhong Ao, blocking their way.

She was a seventh-stage Immortal Emperor. Di Jiu sensed her strength as soon as he saw her.

Di Jiu was left speechless before he said, “Old Zhong, a mere female seventh-stage Immortal Emperor is also chasing you everywhere.”

“Hmph!” Zhong Ao snorted and ignored Di Jiu and his own injuries. An Immortal King said she was a mere seventh-stage Immortal Emperor. He reckoned only a person like Di Jiu would say that.

He was now seriously injured, and he definitely had to abandon his physical body. The reason he had not abandoned it yet was firstly because he had not met Di Jiu yet, which meant there was no Pure Yin Chaos Qi, secondly, because he had not obtained the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith yet, and thirdly, because he did not dare to restore his body as he pleased.

Restoring his physical body in such a plane given his strength meant that if he could not ascend, it was highly likely that he would be crushed into scraps by the Heaven Earth Law.

This woman looked young and was very beautiful and classy. Her long hair formed an Immortal Emperor’s hair. She stared at Di Jiu but did not make a move immediately.

Di Jiu could make out her cultivation level once she arrived. His strength was clearly not weak, at least not any weaker than hers. Besides, Zhong Ao was the most terrifying person she had seen in her life. If someone had not plotted against him and he had not gotten seriously injured, nobody could have made Zhong Ao stay.

“Who are you? You are helping a criminal wanted by the Thunder Emperor,” the woman finally said coldly.

Di Jiu, who did not care about this woman, grabbed a few elixir pills to throw at Zhong Ao and asked, “Old Zhong, how are Guild Master Qu and Guild Master Chen?”

Zhong Ao caught the elixir pills and swallowed them without taking a look. He then shook his head with a pale face. “I reckon they aren’t doing too well. They came here with me. If I was plotted against, how could they be doing well?”

Di Jiu glared at this woman, who had ill intentions. Before he could question her, she said coldly, “So you’re Di Jiu. I was wondering how huge your reputation was...”

Even though Di Jiu did not say anything, he inquired about Qu Hen and Chen Zishun and this woman had actually found out his identity.

The Thunder Emperor had originally wanted to deal with Di Jiu, so it was not hard to guess that Di Jiu would appear here.

After discovering his identity, the restrained fear in the woman’s heart vanished with a flash and she drew her long sword, which transformed into billions of sword flares that enveloped Di Jiu.

She knew Di Jiu’s cultivation level very well. He was rumored to only be an early-stage Immortal King. However, in reality, even if he was a late-stage Immortal King or Immortal Supremacy, he would still be tiny in her eyes.

Di Jiu did not take out the Primeval Thunder Rock, as he wanted to test his current strength with a seventh-stage Immortal Emperor.

He drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber and an indistinct saber flare was thrown out. It was the Order Severance Saber Move.

Once the Order Severance Saber Move was unleashed, and before Di Jiu could sense the whereabouts of her divine power law, his sword was about to clash with her sword flare when Di Jiu caught the whereabouts of the divine power law of her sword.

A green saber flare warped in the void like light smoke shifting a little due to a wisp of a breeze.

Di Jiu’s indistinct green saber flare and Kong Xiangxin’s boundless sword flare clashed like the sound of a glass bottle falling on the hard ground and shattered.

The billions of sword flares vanished in an instant. Di Jiu was very sure that his saber move had split open her divine power law, which meant that an Immortal Emperor was nothing special.

“Excellent divine power!” Zhong Ao, who stood aside, had not seen it before. When he saw Di Jiu’s saber move divine power, he knew that this was the most top-notch Saber Dao divine power in the universe.

Di Jiu took a void step and his Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a bitter saber flash.

Kong Xiangxin’s scalp went numb. After all, the Thunder Emperor paid attention to Di Jiu, so she knew Di Jiu very well too. Di Jiu was definitely still an Immortal King, but how could he be so impressive? How come he was an Immortal King? He could split open her Sword Dao divine power law with one saber move without leaving any chance for it to be activated. He was really an Immortal King?

As expected, the Thunder Emperor had not been wrong. The strongest secret in the entire universe was inside this tiny ant. Even the Thunder Emperor could not split open the divine power law with a saber move as Di Jiu had.

Kong Xiangxin did not dare use her original ways to weigh Di Jiu’s strength. The long sword in her hands transformed into a Sword River that surged down, folding along with her Immortal Emperor domain.

The entire space became Kong Xiangxin’s Immortal Emperor domain at the moment. Di Jiu could sense the surrounding space becoming thick, and his Immortal Supremacy domain seemed to have the tendency to split.

Zhong Ao was really worried, but he was too seriously injured. Thus, he could not help even if he wanted to right now.

Given his current strength, he was far from being able to enter their battle domain.

Boom! The Sword River and Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move clashed and his Wind-Rustling Move dispersed. Di Jiu’s originally weak domain disintegrated inch by inch at that moment.

“Pfft!” A mist of blood exploded on Di Jiu and a deep blood trough was torn out in front of him.

Kong Xiangxin was completely shaken. In her opinion, her Sword River divine power should have definitely hacked Di Jiu into two halves. However, it had only torn apart a blood trough.

Kong Xiangxin understood after she changed her way of thinking. Di Jiu was a top-notch body-tempering expert.

“Even if you’re a body-tempering expert, you have to give up today!” Kong Xiangxin shouted loudly. The sword in her hands shook and transformed sword patterns one after another.

Di Jiu knew his strategy had been wrong just now. He should not have used his Wind-Rustling Move. He should have struck while the iron was hot. She was a late-stage Immortal Emperor, and he had treated her like an Immortal Supremacy. He deserved his injuries.

During the moments that Di Jiu’s domain disintegrated, an even stronger Immortal Essence domain was extended by him. The Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into tens of thousands of thunder blades, and Di Jiu shouted loudly at the same time, “Old Zhong, you don’t have to come! I want to see how impressive this woman is.”

Upon seeing that Di Jiu was at a disadvantage, Zhong Ao was about to go forward and help him. However, when Di Jiu told him that, he once again retreated.

Kong Xiangxin knew that Di Jiu was capable of splitting apart her Sword Dao divine power law with one saber move. Since Di Jiu had practiced using such a terrifying divine power, she was not necessarily a match for him.

The Sword River vanished. Kong Xiangxin was about to avoid the Thunder Saber Move when she sensed the aura of the Heaven Earth constraining law that bound her.

Kong Xiangxin was really astonished. If she could not even move, this saber move could rip her into pieces. When blood essence was sprayed out, she did not care about the damage to her foundation. She frantically extended her domain and only wanted to break free from these terrifying binds.

What frightened her even more was that Di Jiu’s domain had been torn apart by her domain previously. If Di Jiu’s domain pressed towards her domain once again with this increasingly valiant Thunder Saber Move, her seventh-stage Immortal Emperor’s domain would not do anything to Di Jiu.

Even Zhong Ao, who was standing aside, was startled. He knew Di Jiu’s cultivation technique and divine power were not simple, but he had not taken them seriously. He only saw for himself today that Di Jiu was not simple by any means. When that saber move split apart Kong Xiangxin’s Sword Dao law and the Thunder Saber Move sent out binding laws, he realized this was the most powerful divine power he had ever seen.

However, he believed that this saber move would split apart one of Kong Xiangxin’s arms at most. He was still far from killing her. Although Di Jiu’s divine power was strong enough, his cultivation level was too far from hers.

Di Jiu looked down on Kong Xiangxin for the first time and sustained some injuries because of her. How could he let her repeat this?

By the time the Thunder Saber Move cut open the space, Di Jiu had already sent his fist move over. However, it was not aimed at Kong Xiangxin. It was aimed at the void beside her.

The peaks were like great waves gathering furiously, and the Fist Mountains aggregated one after another like planets being thrown out one by one.

Bam! Kong Xiangxin finally broke free from Di Jiu’s Thunder Saber Move, but she was a bit slower. Zhong Ao had guessed correctly that only one of her arms had been swept away by the Thunder Saber Move.

How could Kong Xiangxin still care about her arm at the moment? As the Immortal Essence around her fluctuated, she wanted to flee in a hurry. Di Jiu and his endless techniques were really terrifying. She was sure that she would be courting death if she continued staying here.

Before her escape technique could be activated, she saw the continuous Fist Mountains approach. She thought that everything would be obliterated without an exception and only death would await her!

“Di Jiu, I’m the Thunder Emperor’s Imperial Concubine. You can’t kill me!” Kong Xiangxin frantically shouted. At the moment, her desire to live surpassed everything else.

Bam! Kong Xiangxin’s voice did not fall. The first Fist Mountain ripped apart her domain and blasted her body, followed by the second and third Fist Mountain.

Thanks to the Gathering Peaks and the Furious Waves, with one fist move, the palace and everything within 10,000 miles were obliterated.
