Jue Zhan let out a sigh. Although he knew that he would surely die if he dashed out, he didn’t want to live like that anymore. Since he would have to die anyway, he felt that he might as well try to deal a blow to Mei Bashan. This way, he would at least have done a little to avenge his family, even if it was just one slap.
Just as he was about to dash out, he saw that Mei Bashan had been sent flying after a kick from Di Jiu. Actually, Mei Bashan was flying towards him.
How was this possible? Di Jiu had really managed to…
Jue Zhan knew that this was not the time for him to wonder how Di Jiu had managed to do this. Instead, he quickly drew out the dagger that Di Jiu had given him and focused all his Quintessential Essence on it.
To his shock, Mei Bashan discovered that he had not only been sent flying by Di Jiu’s kick, but he couldn’t even make himself stop flying.
This was not only because his Spiritual Force had been suppressed, which had caused his domain to not belong to him temporarily, but also because he was still affected by Di Jiu’s streak of spatial order.
He had to kill Di Jiu as soon as possible. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in his future.
Mei Bashan heaved a sigh of relief as he was about to crash into Jue Zhan. He knew that the streak of spatial order in Di Jiu’s kick would be broken if an external force blocked it.
Jue Zhan was shocked by how powerful Di Jiu was. He had been supposed to help Di Jiu attack Mei Bashan on the sly. However, Di Jiu had sent Mei Bashan to him instead. He hadn’t even needed to dash out. He just needed to flash the dagger. This had to be the easiest kind of sneak attack in the Cultivation World.
However, he knew very well how powerful Mei Bashan was. Mei Bashan hadn’t become the Number One Expert in the True Dominion simply because he was two levels above him. In other words, even if he attained the ninth-stage Domain Realm, he wouldn’t be Mei Bashan’s match.
Now, Mei Bashan had been overpowered by Di Jiu. It was evident how powerful Di Jiu was, even though one could argue that Mei Bashan had been attacked sneakily. If Di Jiu’s strength was coupled with his saber array, Bai Hong was sure that he would be no match for him.
Once Mei Bashan was killed, then he…
Bai Hong was having an intense internal struggle. However, when he looked up and saw Huan Changzhu smiling sarcastically, he dropped the idea of saving Mei Bashan.
He was sure that Huan Changzhu would lash out to protect the True Dominion Genius if he dared to strike. Huan Changzhu would have all the right reasons to fight, whereas he wouldn’t.
While it was true that Huan Changzhu would not be able to kill him, there was another more frightening person—Di Jiu. If this continued, sooner or later, Di Jiu would be able to kill the already seriously-injured Mei Bashan.
How would he be able to survive after Di Jiu killed Mei Bashan?
Huan Changzhu was indeed staring at Bai Hong. If Bai Hong dared to make a move, he would kill Bai Hong in the name of protecting Di Jiu. Actually, he was just as shocked. Huan Changzhu didn’t think that Di Jiu would be able to kill him, even though he knew that he had to be wary of him. However, after witnessing Di Jiu’s display of strength, he doubted that Di Jiu would have any difficulty killing him.
Han Wushui cupped his fists tightly. He was secretly relieved that he had previously done Di Jiu a favor, even though he had risked offending Mei Bashan. After all, he had witnessed Di Jiu’s prowess before. Now that he saw Di Jiu take on Mei Bashan, he knew that he had still underestimated Di Jiu’s strength.
However, what made Han Wushui worry was that he had also underestimated Mei Bashan. Mei Bashan wouldn’t need more than a few moves to kill him.
Fortunately, Di Jiu had made use of Mei Bashan’s lackey to assassinate him. Otherwise, Di Jiu might have been killed by Mei Bashan that day. If Di Jiu had been killed, Han Wushui would have suffered as well.
Han Wushui shuddered at the thought. Di Jiu had indeed been meticulous if he had been able to anticipate such a battle between him and Mei Bashan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have planted Mei Bashan’s lackey as an assassin. He was lucky that he had been able to survive after provoking Di Jiu.
Zhuo Changgeng also shuddered as he looked at Mei Bashan, who was being trapped within Di Jiu’s saber array. He had been thinking of killing Di Jiu to avenge his son, Zhuo Wencheng. However, he now realized that he would basically be sending the Zhuo Family to meet its doom.
Crack! Crack! Crack! The supreme-grade saber weapons in Di Jiu’s saber array were continuously being torn up by the Yin Yang Gonfalon’s Qi. However, every time he tore up a saber weapon in the array, he would be dealt a serious blow by another complementary saber weapon and his Yin Yang Gonfalon would weaken.
Despite this, Mei Bashan continued to destroy the saber weapons in Di Jiu’s Nine-Nine Constellation Large Array relentlessly. He was well-versed in Array Dao and knew that Di Jiu’s saber array would weaken each time a saber weapon was destroyed. He would be able to consume an elixir to help him recover from his injuries once he escaped from the saber array.
He would be able to kill Di Jiu as long as he could stomach this now.
Mei Bashan grew disappointed after half an hour. He had already destroyed nearly 100 supreme-grade saber weapons, but the Nine-Nine Constellation Large Array hadn’t weakened in any way. It had conversely grown stronger.
This could only be explained by the fact that Di Jiu had an extremely resilient Spiritual Force. He also had to have an endless supply of supreme-grade saber weapons.
Mei Bashan couldn’t ascertain how Di Jiu had acquired those supreme-grade saber weapons. However, he knew that he couldn’t delay this anymore.
Although the Yin Yang Gonfalon had been with him for countless years, he could only forsake it.
Suddenly, the Yin Yang Gonfalon, which had been torn to shreds by the Nine-Nine Constellation Large Array, exploded. It transformed into a boundless Yin Yang aura that encompassed the Heaven Earth Dao runes and had a majestic feel to it.
Di Jiu’s saber array slowed down amid the frightening Yin Yang aura and a passageway appeared within the saber array.
Di Jiu was shocked. Then, he realized that the problem didn’t lie with his saber array. Mei Bashan’s Yin Yang Gonfalon wasn’t too powerful either. It was his Quintessential Essence that was insufficient.
Mei Bashan dashed out through this passageway in a flash.
How could Di Jiu allow Mei Bashan to escape? He would definitely be killed if Mei Bashan escaped.
At almost the same time, Di Jiu entered the void, took a step and flung out a fist move.
This fist move, which had gathered all of Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence and Spiritual Force, transformed into a stretch of Fist Mountain ranges.
The mountain peaks looked like roaring convergent waves. The first Fist Mountain tore up the domain that Mei Bashan had created in a hurry. The second Fist Mountain blasted into pieces the Quintessential Essence that had been protecting Mei Bashan. The third Fist Mountain boomed directly onto Mei Bashan’s body.
Everything within 10,000 miles was reduced to ashes by the Fist Mountains.
Bam! A bloody mist exploded into the sky. Mei Bashan’s body was reduced to a pulp as it floated in the sky.
