“Clang!”
Pei Jinye’s sword struck something hard, paused for only a moment, then smoothly sliced into it.
The figure that had lunged forward to block the strike was instantly forced to retreat.
“Scum of the Old Gods Association…”
Unexpectedly, another voice suddenly came from beside Pei Jinye.
The next second, an arm reached out.
Its fingers spread, and it clutched swiftly, the golden light shimmering below, the strength displayed seemingly capable of exploding Pei Jinye’s midsection.
“Clang!”
Facing the premeditated sneak attack from the assailant, Pei Jinye’s expression remained impassive as he ferociously lifted his sword upward.
A fierce wind lifted the cloaks of both men.
In an instant, they were close enough to see each other’s “appearance”.
“You!” Xu Tian’s face paled in shock because the Ghost Face Mask that Pei Jinye was wearing made him think of someone who should be dead.
The next second, he felt the sword under his arm buzzing and vibrating violently as if it were a true dragon unwilling to be restrained, striving to break free from all bonds. What surprised Xu Tian even more was—
He couldn’t distinguish at this moment… whether the piercing sword intent that was oppressing his mind came from the mysterious Ghost Face Man before him, or from the silver-white small sword itself.
The sleeve on his arm burst and scattered instantly. Xu Tian roared in anger, his new arm made of titanium alloy transformed as if it were charging up, the whole arm twisting down forcefully like a Wild Dragon.
But, at the next moment.
Boom!
The silver-white small sword struck the steel arm crafted from the Federation’s best titanium alloy and suddenly a crack burst forth, spewing sparks!
Who could have imagined that this short sword of less than two feet would emit a furious roar, its cold light reflecting Pei Jinye’s cold eyes? The short sword plunged, piercing through the steel arm and twisting to shatter the titanium supports inside.
Xu Tian’s pupils constricted as the fine titanium alloy arm suddenly became as fragile as paper under the silver-white small sword and broke apart.
In a blink of an eye.
Just as Pei Jinye had shattered Xu Tian’s iron arm, behind him, Wei Xianren already threw a punch down, his fist sheathed in freezing Frost Element as cold as a blade.
The air roared violently.
A surge of excitement rose in Wei Xianren’s heart.
Before attending the elite examination, he had always been protected by his family, and his knowledge of the Old Gods Association was limited to intelligence reports. This was indeed the first time he was truly facing them.
As for the Senior Xu being suppressed by his opponent, he didn’t find it unexpected at all.
Since Xu Tian’s arm was broken in an ambush, his strength had been greatly reduced.
In his heart, Wei Xianren held some contempt for this self-righteous Senior Xu, but if he wanted to enter the Judgment Place, he needed his assessment recommendation. Otherwise, he didn’t care to associate with him at all.
However, these feelings didn’t affect his desire to clash with the mysterious member of the Old Gods Association before him.
His momentum fully unleashed.
The air churned violently.
A strong wind surged, condensing on his fist.
All of a sudden, Pei Jinye’s figure turned into a blur, dissipating from the spot.
Wei Xianren’s punch missed its mark entirely, almost hitting Xu Tian instead.
This caused Xu Tian to give Wei Xianren a particularly dangerous look.
Wondering if the man had intended to take advantage of the chaos to kill him.
Wei Xianren, seemingly oblivious to the dangerous look in his eyes, called out in a low voice, “Senior, be careful!”
Almost instantly.
Pei Jinye’s figure appeared behind Xu Tian, with a silver-white light pouring out, the dazzling cold light bursting forth with a shrill howl, as if some power was awakening.
In these years of wandering far and wide, Xu Tian had seen all manner of criminals.
But he had to admit that the person in front of him was the most difficult to handle he had ever encountered.
The challenge didn’t lie in the opponent’s strength, but rather in their astounding battle experience; it was as if every move was calculated with the precision of a supercomputer.
When the little sword pierced into the armor, two mysterious forces collided.
Just as Wei Xianren, who had been about to close in on Pei Jinye, felt a terrifying force exploding outwards. A solid ice shield protected him, but even so, he was still flung over ten meters away.
He lifted his head in shock.
He couldn’t believe it; how strong was his opponent?
To think he could match Xu Tian, who had invoked his Divine Blood.
His gaze decisively fixed on the silver-white small sword in Pei Jinye’s hand.
“It’s because of that!”
Xu Tian had also evidently confirmed a certain fact.
“Demon King, you really didn’t die!”
He swung a fist down.
Pei Jinye raised his arm to block, his expression cold as he grabbed the hilt and thrust the sword towards Xu Tian’s head.
But Xu Tian blocked his wrist.
In an instant, the two exchanged seventeen moves.
These seventeen moves stemmed from a life-and-death struggle between them.
Those seventeen moves also left Wei Xianren with a face full of unwillingness. He couldn’t accept his weakness, but the fact was he couldn’t find an opening to join this fight.
“Now’s the time!”
Xu Tian suddenly shouted aloud.
Wei Xianren seized the opportunity, clapping his hands together, and countless frost elements spread instantly.
Mid-air, a segment of an ice shield blocked Pei Jinye’s thrust at Xu Tian’s head. Xu Tian was annoyed; why did this guy keep aiming for his forehead? He took the chance to press his finger on Pei Jinye’s arm.
“God Brilliance!”
Golden light encircled his fingertips, his five fingers formed a fist, and he hammered it towards Pei Jinye’s arm.
A sudden surge of blood flames seemed as heavy as millions of tons, the air bursting with a fierce explosion as a hard punch came hurtling down!
“Boom!”
Left fist against left fist.
A tremendous impact force slammed into both men.
Pei Jinye took a step back, his feet frozen in place by the frost.
Xu Tian was sent flying backward, his bones rattling violently as if he was about to fall apart, along with a cacophony of ringing in his ears caused by the disruption of his vitality from the powerful shock.
Wei Xianren ignored him and instead rushed toward the Ghost Face Man, whose lower body had been frozen solid. A sharp ice blade appeared in his hand and he slashed at the man’s throat.
But suddenly, his vitality violently shook, his heart pounding furiously—his body was sending out frantic warnings.
The ice blade in his hand was only an inch away from the opponent’s throat and couldn’t be pushed any further.
Because at that moment.
A huge, flame-shrouded fist suddenly appeared under his ribs, and the loud thunder that followed made Wei Xianren’s ears ring…
He completely missed the sound of the ice encasing Pei Jinye’s body cracking loudly.
The next second.
Pei Jinye threw a fierce punch, lifting a maelstrom of explosive Gang Wind, the ground beneath and the surroundings shaking violently!
With that one punch, Wei Xianren, a promising genius fostered by the Wei Family and exceptionally recruited by the Judgment Office from a small city, was sent flying like a broken sandbag, bones shattering and blood scattering.
He crashed into a wall headfirst.
Stones burst outward.
Pei Jinye didn’t even spare him a glance, turning his head while the silver-white small sword instantly positioned itself mid-air.
“Clang” went the sound.
Sparks flew in every direction.
Xu Tian, charging in, resented that his long-prepared killer move had been blocked just like that.
The skin on Pei Jinye’s arms had begun to crack and bleed, but the drops of blood didn’t get the chance to hit the ground before being incinerated by the flames on his body’s surface, unwilling to leave even a trace of biological information.
“You… are actually an Element Series?” Xu Tian was stunned.
He had thought the other was from the Body Technique System.
Or possibly the Instrument Sword Series.
After all, their previous exchanges had proven that the other’s strength was nothing to scoff at.
But the sudden appearance of flames left Xu Tian bewildered.
He hadn’t even considered the possibility that the Demon King before him might be Dual Series or even a Three Series Transcendent.
After all, such notions completely defied his understanding.
Pei Jinye had no intention of answering; his right-hand sword that had been blocked, and with his left, he reached out and grabbed Xu Tian’s severed arm at the shoulder, lifting him and slamming him into the wall ahead.
Xu Tian’s entire back smashed violently against the wall, and the stones burst apart on impact.
A frost knife suddenly appeared at Pei Jinye’s back. Pei Jinye staggered as his back clothing was punctured, revealing a bronze-colored back, and Wei Xianren was completely taken aback.
“King Kong Indestructible?”
He couldn’t believe anyone could cultivate the hard qigong technique of King Kong to such an extent.
Caught in his moment of shock, Pei Jinye’s reaction was extremely quick. His left hand pressed against Xu Tian’s face, pushing it viciously into the ruins of the wall.
He pivoted on his feet, his right-hand brandishing the little sword in front of his chest, flicking away the frost knife, and immediately shattering it.
The light of the sword shimmered.
Suddenly, a terrifying force transferred through the little sword and sent Wei Xianren flying.
“I”
Wei Xianren, enraged and humiliated, bloodied face and all, clung to Pei Jinye’s arm.
“Troublesome.”
Pei Jinye frowned and threw Xu Tian aside.
The silver-white small sword in his right hand had been frozen by the opponent’s frost, rendering it inert.
He simply swung his left fist.
All at once, the Frost Element swirled around Wei Xianren like a storm, evidently channeling all his power, his face even reddening as if smeared with vermillion from the surge of vitality, his aura as fierce and violent as a dying flare.
But unfortunately
The person he faced was Pei Jinye.
An extraordinary being beyond normal conjecture and judgment.
Up close, the sheer Vitality of Pei Jinye was enough to instill fear in Wei Xianren, a young master always sheltered by his family.
He couldn’t fathom what kind of physical body could possess such terrifying Vitality.
He was equally curious about the identity of the man behind the mysterious mask…
He stretched out his hand.
Using his last ounce of strength, he tried to remove Pei Jinye’s mask.
But then
“Enter Dream!”
Two cold, merciless words abruptly interrupted Wei Xianren’s action.
Countless memories flooded in.
Pei Jinye hardly had time to sift through the memories in his mind.
Because at that moment, someone else was still on the battlefield.
Xu Tian, amidst the daze of Pei Jinye’s Devour state, had already fled far away.
Pei Jinye’s expression was stoic.
The flames on his fingertips engulfed Wei Xianren’s corpse.
The next second.
The entire figure, like a specter, dashed off in hot pursuit.
“Last time it was just an arm you lost, do you think you’ll be that lucky this time?”
“Eh?”
Xu Tian never expected this guy to pursue him so quickly.
A golden radiance was flung downwards.
This move screamed of desperation: to fight for one’s life after being cornered.
Just a moment ago, his hurried glance had witnessed Wei Xianren’s instant demise. He had hoped Wei Xianren would delay his pursuer a little longer, thinking if he were to be saved, he’d offer more paper money in gratitude.
But the strength of this scion left much to be desired.
Xu Tian now had no other concerns.
He just wanted to live!
In the blink of an eye, one launched at him, while the other retreated.
One swift as lightning!
Another seeking a sliver of hope amidst despair!
“Bang!”
Xu Tian’s body was violently thrown.
Amid the ruins.
Pei Jinye kicked aside the rubble and saw Xu Tian lying in a pool of blood.
“I already know who you are…” He spewed blood profusely, his voice strained but not without the manic pleasure of someone on the brink, “Pei Jinye, you’re finished. I’ve sent a message to the Judgement Place. If I die, you’ll die too, including your parents!”
“Is that so?” Pei Jinye walked closer, his voice as chilling as a demon from Hell, “Why don’t you check again to see if your message went out?”
Xu Tian suddenly froze.
He pulled out his phone again.
On the screen, it clearly displayed—
[Send Failed.]
He was aghast.
“Why…”
“Why is this happening?”
He looked up incredulously.
Suddenly, a merciless hand pressed down.
“Enter Dream!”
In the chilling night air, dead leaves were whisked away as the silent forest path lay undisturbed but for the lingering dust of battle in the wind, with the blood on the ground reflecting the sad moonlight of the night…
Da Peng City Judgment Office, de-listed this very night!
“At last, this old debt is fully settled!”
