Chapter 891 - The Upright Fatty
In a short time, the area where the battle was occurring was filled with nomological chaos and explosive Divine Essence. The Strangulation Divine Array was successfully broken by the four cultivators, but Di Jiu managed to rebuild it after killing the white-robed cultivator in time.
This was the benefit of using a nomological array flag: It could rebuild a complete Dharma Array in the shortest time so long as Di Jiu could still control his intent.
As a result, the spectating crowd only knew that the battle was intense but was not aware of the outcome. Nevertheless, everyone present was very impressed by Di Jiu’s ability to hold on so far against the attacks of four third-step experts.
“Brother Zuo, this person killed Hua Yu and Fei Feng simply by relying on the Strangulation Divine Array. He could be using the Heaven Earth Laws to construct Dharma Arrays. We could still kill him if we worked together.” The handsome male cultivator with the spear looked at the fat cultivator.
Di Jiu did not take any action, as the two cultivators did not either. The Quintessential Essence of the Universe rapidly healed his injuries as he continuously made nomological array flags.
He was not afraid of four people, much less now that there were only two left.
To Di Jiu’s astonishment, the fatty called Brother Zuo hesitated. Upon seeing this, Di Jiu immediately said, “Brother Zuo, you’ll have no future if you continue staying here. You will only be able to hide in a corner to cultivate at best. What kind of benefits will you gain by helping these people block my path? If my guess is correct, you will get nothing from the loot even if I am killed. You will gain my friendship if you do not stand in my way. I will not hold the previous events against you and I will bring you along when I leave.”
“You know how to leave the Dao Abyss?” The fatty looked at Di Jiu in surprise.
Di Jiu felt puzzled. Did these people really have no way of leaving the Dao Abyss?
This word swept up a boundless death Dao rune aura, oppressing Leng Yaoli and causing him to have difficulty breathing. The surroundings took on a grayish hue. Leng Yaoli now knew that Di Jiu had decided to kill him.
Leng Yaoli let out a shriek while the Cold-Moon Spear in his hand transformed into beams of cold crescent moon flares that shot out.
Boom! The spear aura landed on the Dao runes of Di Jiu’s “death” word. The laws in the air emitted a cracking sound, and the Heaven Earth Laws became extremely chaotic.
The floating “death” word Dao runes instantly became blurry. Di Jiu was shocked by how powerful the man’s Spear Dao was. Now that it had eliminated the possibility of being attacked from behind, Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber swept up a saber screen wave and locked onto Leng Yaoli. He had his own means of individually dealing with Leng Yaoli.
However, before Di Jiu could execute his killing move, a giant hammer easily crushed Leng Yaoli’s defensive domain and landed on his back.
Di Jiu, who wanted to use the Heavenly Aqua Saber’s supernormal ability, changed his mind instantly. Instead, he took out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. The “death” word Dao runes, which had almost completely dissipated, condensed once more. Meanwhile, the powerful death aura oppressed Leng Yaoli and locked onto him.
Leng Yaoli knew that Zuo Zhongren, who was behind him, had ulterior motives, so he had always been wary of him. However, he was unable to evade or stop the latter’s actions under the suppression of Di Jiu’s “death” word.
Bam! The giant hammer landed on Leng Yaoli’s back. He did not possess a physical body as strong as Di Jiu, so his body immediately caved in. His Principal Spirit seeped out a little before being wiped out completely.
Di Jiu did not take any further action. Simply by seeing Zuo Zhongren’s hammer move, he knew that the former had been telling the truth and had not used his full strength when attacking Di Jiu.
“Daoist Di, I would like to thank you. If it hadn’t been for you, I might still have been trapped here for an unknown number of years. You gave me back my freedom…” Zuo Zhongren told Di Jiu sincerely and respectfully as he cupped his fists before the latter. After killing Leng Yaoli, he did not appear to be proud of it.
Di Jiu currently had a good grasp of Zuo Zhongren’s character. This fatty looked upright and honest but was not someone that should be underestimated. Di Jiu dared not accept the fatty’s gratitude. He thus cupped his fists in return and said, “We’re merely helping each other out. May I know who exactly that Sacred Lord is?”
