Chapter 255 - Why?
Huan Mingzi rushed over in time, squeezed a ring into Di Jiu’s hand and said, “Hurry on in. The Small Central Planet will be open for a year. I hope you can improve further during this year.”
Di Jiu, who knew that this ring had been exchanged with the three qualifying jade cards, accepted the ring unabashedly. “Senior Huan, the Small Central World opens once every 100 years. However, I heard the Skygold Domain Lord say that the spirit herbs inside are all more than 1,000 years old. Why is that?”
Di Jiu had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he hadn’t managed to.
Huan Mingzi didn’t answer directly. Instead, he only told Di Jiu, “I’ve heard scattered news that there’s a layer of time-law fragment cocooning the Small Central Planet. Whoever gets this could become a mighty expert in the universe…”
Di Jiu took a deep breath. Time-law fragment…
Although he wouldn’t have known what this meant in the past, thanks to the Book of the World, he knew very well what it was. There were rumors that some very precious nomological worlds existed in the universe. All these nomological worlds were priceless treasures.
There was actually a time-law fragment outside the Small World Planet. This time-law fragment had in fact broken off from the nomological world.
If the experts discovered this, the Small World Planet would definitely be taken away.
Di Jiu suddenly remembered something. “Senior Huan, you just said that the Small Central Planet stays open for a year…”
A blue-haired youth landed in front of Di Jiu. “Did you just take a Rainbow Immortal Peach?”
“Correct.” Di Jiu’s voice was cold. He had already felt the blue-haired young man scan him with his Spiritual Force. This man owned the hidden Spiritual Force that had scanned him when he had entered the teleporting beam.
The blue-haired youth nodded. “I know you. You are Di Jiu from the Polar Night Continent. I’m not sure if you were lucky or unlucky. If you were unlucky, you wouldn’t have seen the Rainbow Immortal Peach. If you were lucky, you wouldn’t have been found by me after merely two months here. To thank you for your help, I will tell you why I must kill you before I do…”
As he spoke, the blue-haired youth flashed several array flags and sealed their surroundings. It seemed like he didn’t plan on letting Di Jiu go.
Di Jiu didn’t move. He just let the blue-haired youth act. Although he had some inkling of the youth’s origins, he wasn’t completely sure yet, so he waited for him to speak first. The youth was just at the first-stage Ekayāna Tripod Realm, which meant that his cultivation was poorer than Di Jiu’s. Thus, Di Jiu didn’t take him seriously.
The blue-haired youth had just set up a killing array. However, Di Jiu wasn’t moved. The young man was a little surprised as he said, “You seem calm. I am Jian Yiwu from the Jian Family of the Commonality Planet. Oh, I am also a Level-Nine Array King.”
Di Jiu smiled. “Never heard of you. But I can guess why you have been looking for me. If I remember correctly, I must have acquired one of your Spiritual Force escape technique jade slips. That jade slip had your mark on it. You believe that I might have the Spiritual Force Training Art with me…”
When he heard Di Jiu’s words, Jian Yiwu said excitedly, “Correct! Regardless of whether you have the Spiritual Force Training Scroll, I will let you off this once if you tell me how you mastered the Spiritual Force escape technique.”
He knew that Di Jiu was going to die the moment he finished setting up the Confinement Killing Array. He was a Level-Nine Array King after all. Di Jiu wouldn’t be able to escape, no matter how strong he was.
Di Jiu chuckled. “I am not a pig. You want to get the Spiritual Force Training Scroll, when you can’t even master a simple thing like this… Oh yes, you want this precisely because you can’t master such a simple thing.”
The moment Di Jiu opened his hand, the Spiritual Force Training Scroll he had previously exchanged appeared in his palm.
“It is real!” Jian Yiwu shrieked excitedly. Without hesitation, he took out the Dharma treasure called Broken Cliff Token and pounced on Di Jiu. He had completely forgotten that Di Jiu had called him a pig. He hadn’t struck before because he’d wanted to coerce Di Jiu into revealing how to master the Spiritual Force escape technique. Now that Di Jiu had taken the jade slip out, he didn’t care anymore.
The Heavenly Aqua Saber landed in Di Jiu’s hands. He performed the Split-Wave Saber Move, one of the three saber moves, without even moving his feet.
“Ha ha! You didn’t expect that I’d be a Ekayāna Tripod Realm…” Jian Yiwu suddenly stopped speaking halfway.
His Broken Cliff Token had transformed into seven token seas. His original intent had been to suppress Di Jiu. However, the token seas were frozen by Di Jiu’s saber move before a frightening saber strike swept in. The ruthless saber intent felt like huge sea waves that surged in turbulently, wave after wave.
Boom, boom, boom! It only took two waves for the seven token seas created by the Broken Cliff Token to be destroyed. Without the token seas, the killing intent of the Split-Wave Saber Move lashed out at Jian Yiwu blatantly.
Jian Yiwu threw out array flags like crazy, trying to trigger the Confinement Killing Array. He suddenly realized that there was no way to trigger his confinement array.
Jian Yiwu regretted trying to trigger the Confinement Killing Array first. He should have blocked Di Jiu’s saber instead. Unfortunately, he had wasted the right moment and the saber wave had already boomed down on him.
As the deadly killing intent kept surging in, Jian Yiwu panicked and shouted, “Di Jiu, I come from the top-notch Jian Family of the Commonality Planet! You can’t kill me…”
Di Jiu laughed coldly. “I killed the Sect Master of the Genesis Sect—one of the five large sects. Why would I fear someone from an insignificant family?”
“Ah…” As Jian Yiwu stared at Di Jiu in panic, a voice in his heart shouted repeatedly. Shu Haolan had actually been killed by Di Jiu! Why couldn’t he trigger his Confinement Killing Array?
Bam! The saber wave of the Split-Wave Saber Move swirled around Jian Yiwu while endless fragmented saber pieces transformed into killing intent and drowned Jian Yiwu. Jian Yiwu was crushed to bits by this endless saber intent.
