“Every man for himself. If they don’t die, I will have to!” Yue Tianxing’s face was ferocious. He didn’t stop there. He struck out a palm and blew up the human expert who was questioning him.
Then he turned around and fled into the distance.
He did not expect his action to attract the attention of the destruction shadow.
“You brat, you did something very bad. Everyone here is the raw material for me to create loyal subordinates. How dare you destroy them…” The destruction shadow took a step forward, crossed the distance between time and space, and approached Yue Tianxing from behind, clawing at his back.
“No…” Realizing that there was no way to avoid this attack or to escape, Yue Tianxing suddenly turned around and knelt down in the void. He kept kowtowing, begging for mercy. “Please spare me! I’m willing to be your most loyal subordinate…”
“Hmmm?” The destruction shadow really stopped, as if considering his suggestion.
Yue Tianxing’s body shook terribly. The sheer terror caused his sweat to drip like raindrops.
“How shameless. So this is how the Aloof Man is really like. We have all been deceived…” Not far away, the Human Clan experts were stunned to see this scene. They felt that the image of Yue Tianxing had suddenly collapsed in their hearts.
An absolute master at the Sage Realm, renowned throughout the Divine Central Continent as a gentleman… yet he was really a despicable, cowardly man who used unscrupulous means to achieve his goals!
A moment ago, Yue Tianxing was still trying to win their hearts through a show of righteousness. But now… in order to survive, he had become a fawning dog, completely forsaking his dignity.
“You will be loyal to me?” The destruction shadow suddenly chuckled. “But in my opinion, only dead spirits can be truly loyal. Look at you. To save your own life, you even sacrificed your clan members. I don’t dare to accept a slave like you!”
Before his voice died away, black light was already surging in his eyes.
“No, spare me…” Yue Tianxing’s heart was filled with despair. He suddenly thought of something and shouted, “Wait, I know the owners of the Three Great Divine Artifacts. I can point them out to you…”
The destruction shadow stopped again.
Yue Tianxing seemed to have been granted amnesty. He stood up and pointed to the crowd, saying, “Master, the God-suppressing Seal is in the hands of that demoness, and that demon youth has the Sand of Time. As for the Heavenly Samsara Disc… it’s… it’s with…”
Yue Tianxing was anxious and scared. He did not know who had the Heavenly Samsara Disc at all.
But when his eyes fell on Ding Hao, a hint of viciousness flashed across his face. He shouted, “Master, the Heavenly Samsara Disc is with this lad.”
“Lad, you keep going against me… I’ll make you die today!” he thought.
On the other side.
Ding Hao’s expression changed.
How did Yue Tianxing know that the Heavenly Samsara Disc was with him?
But the next moment, seeing Yue Tianxing’s expression, Ding Hao suddenly realized that the man did not know. He was just trying to make use of someone to do him in. He wanted to instigate the destruction shadow to kill Ding Hao.
This man was so wicked that he must be killed.
He heard Yue Tianxing speak again. “Master, this lad is not simple. Other than the Heavenly Samsara Disc, he has two other treasures that are comparable to divine weapons—a rusted sword and a broken saber. They can exert almost god-like power, and are definitely extraordinary!”
Yue Tianxing revealed to him Ding Hao’s trump cards.
“Shameless!”
“Despicable!”
“The disgrace of the Human Clan!”
Many could not help cursing. When faced with death, some warriors below the Primordial Realm would act more courageously. Yue Tianxing’s ugly behavior before these experts of the two clans had brought shame to the entire Human Clan.
Yue Tianxing gritted his teeth and said nothing.
When he used those warriors to shield himself, and when he knelt down and begged for mercy like a dog, he knew that all the fame and prestige he had accumulated over the years were gone. It was impossible for things to go back to how it was.
But as long as he could survive, he would not regret it.
There could be endless possibilities only if he stayed alive.
He was only slightly more than 300 years old, and yet he had already reached the Martial Sage Realm. He still had a few hundred more years to live. If he was lucky and used some devious methods, he might reach the Peak of the Martial Sage Realm or even the God Realm. Everyone would be in awe of his great power then. Who would remember his humiliation today?
The destruction shadow did not strike at Yue Tianxing.
His eyes swept over Yu Miejue and Wen Duoqing, and finally fell on Ding Hao. He seemed to have remembered something. After some careful probing, he said, somewhat surprised, “What a familiar aura. So it’s you. I didn’t detect you just now… you brat. You were the first person who saw through the walls of the Towering Buddha Pagoda and discovered my existence, weren’t you?”
Ding Hao nodded. “Yes, it was me.”
Ding Hao had been recovering his strength in the 97th secret chamber. After integrating the Heaven-Earth Blood Bone of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound, he fell into a strange reverie. He had inadvertently activated the power of the golden light ball for the first time. It opened the Third Eye on his forehead, allowing him to see through the walls of the Towering Buddha Pagoda and catch a glimpse of this destruction shadow.
He remembered at the last moment, the destruction shadow had also noticed him from hundreds of miles away. As he looked into Ding Hao’s Third Eye, his eyes had released so much terror and murderous malice.
The destruction shadow must have detected him from the remnant aura of his Third Eye.
“You really surprised me by being able to see through the walls of the Towering Buddha Pagoda.” The destruction shadow scrutinized Ding Hao and suddenly gave a look of surprise. “Your body indeed has the aura of a Divine Artifact… I can’t see through you. If you were given time, you would be frightfully powerful. So I must kill you today.”
Ding Hao’s expression did not change when he heard this. He said calmly, “Nobody knows who will win.”
“Haha, I really admire your courage. I will give you a reward for being the first person to see me. I will grant your other requests, although I cannot spare your life.” The destruction shadow seemed to be treating Ding Hao differently from the others. He pointed at Yue Tianxing. “I can see that you really hate this shameless man. Just open your mouth and ask, and I will kill him for you!”
Yue Tianxing’s complexion immediately changed when he heard these words.
His face turned ashen, and his whole body shivered again.
Yue Tianxing knew very well how much Ding Hao hated him. He did not expect the destruction shadow to not spare him, despite him begging so disgracefully for mercy.
Ding Hao gave a slight smile. “I will kill him myself. I don’t need your help.”
“Alright, I admire you more and more.” The destruction shadow nodded, waved his hand, and sent Yue Tianxing flying. Yue Tianxing managed to land in mid-air, uninjured. “I’ll do something else for you. He’s yours now.”
“No, Master, I…” Yue Tianxing put up his last struggle and tried to beg the destruction shadow again.
What he had done had completely infuriated the masters of the Human Clan. The moment the destruction shadow stopped protecting him, he would be torn apart by the angry crowd, despite being a Martial Sage expert.
“What right do you have to call me Master, you shameless man?” The destruction shadow’s voice grew cold. “If you say another word, I will kill you myself!”
Yue Tianxing’s expressions kept changing. He no longer dared to say anything.
The stares around him suddenly turned harsh. He could clearly sense everyone looking at him with contempt and disgust, as if he was a dog begging for mercy. Even those warriors who were usually fawning over him were glaring at him at this moment.
He gritted his teeth.
“Ding Hao, since you want to kill me, I’ll give you a chance. Let’s have a fair fight.” Yue Tianxing challenged Ding Hao.
A disdainful smile suddenly appeared on Ding Hao’s face. He shook his head, looking at him pitifully. “Why should I give you, a spineless dog, a fair fight? You aren’t qualified to fight fair with me!”
“Are you afraid?” Yue Tianxing sneered.
“Still up to your dirty tricks, eh? Unfortunately, your scheming will cost you your life.” Ding Hao looked at all the human compatriots around him and said, “I suddenly feel that each of us should give you a hack and send you to Hell. It will be the right way for you to die. Just like what you often said, we don’t need to be fair and just to a despicable villain!”
Yue Tianxing’s face instantly turned ashen.
“I’ll kill you…” He attacked like a furious madman.
Ding Hao laughed contemptuously and moved back.
The masters of the Human Clan, unable to restrain themselves, finally attacked almost altogether. They included the bronze-skinned middle-aged Martial Sage and a few other Martial Sages. Thousands of experts attacked, their combined power so strong that Yue Tianxing flew out and spat out blood despite his powerful strength. His body was mangled…
“Ding Hao, you coward, fight me!”
Yue Tianxing charged at Ding Hao like a madman.
He really hated Ding Hao. Wildly activating the power in his body, he charged like a mad dog. Even if he were to die, he must perish together with Ding Hao! Yue Tianxing had been down on his luck ever since he met Ding Hao in the Final Divine Temple. He had never done any self-reflection. His heated brain now thought that Ding Hao must have masterminded everything and caused his downfall.
How could Ding Hao not read this desperado’s mind?
He was still gliding around, not giving Yue Tianxing a chance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands of Qi flames erupted. Yue Tianxing was once again attacked by the crazy crowd. His whole body was covered in blood, almost completely shattered.
Bam!
A warrior dashed forward and kicked Yue Tianxing in the face.
“How dare you kick me…” Yue Tianxing spat out blood. The martial artist who attacked him was once in awe of him and had spoken up for him many times. He had always listened to Yue Tianxing and was even willing to die for him. Yet now, he had actually kicked him, leaving him stunned!
“Bah!” The warrior scoffed and spat at him.
Bam!
Another expert who had once respected Yue Tianxing hit his back with a palm. There was the sound of something breaking. He had broken Yue Tianxing’s neck.
