Ninth In the World

“Oh, was one of the two men I just killed your elder brother?” said Di Jiu calmly.

The man was a perfected Golden Core Realm Cultivator, while the woman had just attained the Essence Soul Realm. However, Di Jiu was not afraid of them. Even if he could not beat their combined forces, it would be impossible for them to kill him.

When the beautiful lady opened her palm, a seven-colored belt swam around her. As she suppressed her killing intent, she stared at Di Jiu and said, “Listen carefully. My elder brother was called Cheng Biqun. I am Cheng Bijun from the Constant Heaven Continent’s Enduring Immortal Sect. A Small World belonging to my elder brother is currently in your possession. Even if you did not kill him, you must have had something to do with his death. If you’re smart, you’ll tell us how you obtained this Small World and return it to me. If you had nothing to do with my elder brother’s death, I won’t kill you. However, I have to know that you are not lying first.”

Di Jiu was stunned. He was truly speechless. The Small World he had obtained on the Fairy Planet was being sought by someone in the Sky Screen. His luck was indeed quite impressive.

Di Jiu did not doubt the lady’s words. After he had refined the hidden second layer of restrictions on the Small World, the tarsus Spiritual Force imprint had been activated, so it was currently on his arm.

“Are you speechless now?” Cheng Bi Jun mocked him. The seven-colored belt transformed into a rainbow and sealed the surrounding space.

If he had been able to kill two early-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivators in an instant, Di Jiu had to be at the perfected Golden Core Realm or even halfway to the Essence Soul Realm. Killing Di Jiu would not be a problem. They were just worried that he might escape.

Although she and Zong Min had never witnessed Di Jiu’s escape technique, they had followed him by using the Spiritual Force imprint. They could sense that Di Jiu’s speed was no slower than theirs, as they had traveled as fast as they could. The possibility that Di Jiu had not traveled at his fastest speed was low, but not impossible.

Cheng Bijun and Zong Min had not expected that Di Jiu had really not been traveling as fast as he could.

Cheng Bijun had not attacked with her full strength. She was worried that Di Jiu would use this opportunity to flee, so she chose to oppress him with her cultivation aura instead.

However, Di Jiu had no intention of escaping. When he took out his saber, an intense saber flare slashed at Cheng Bijun. This flare was filled with determination, as well as a deadly frost.

Compared to the Wind-Rustling Move he had used against the seventh-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator in the blue cave abode, this saber move was way stronger.

After the slash of the intense saber flare, the rainbow space restricting Di Jiu burst open like a bubble.

Actually, Di Jiu was not bothered by the rainbow space restricting him, nor was he concerned about Cheng Bijun’s Essence Soul Realm Aura. She was indeed shameless for restraining him and using her aura to oppress him, considering that she had just attained the Essence Soul Realm and her cultivation realm was still unstable.

After slashing with the Wind-Rustling Move, Di Jiu turned around and punched out, using the Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves.

Cheng Bijun had only recently attained the Essence Soul Realm, so her Spiritual Force was stronger than Zong Min’s. A slash of Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move split open his restraints. Her Essence Soul Realm Aura was also useless against Di Jiu. Her heart sank, for such a strong cultivator could easily escape, even if he could not beat her and Zong Min.

Di Jiu’s saber move landed on the accumulated killing aura formed by her seven rainbows.

Boom! When the Wind-Rustling Move and the seven-colored belt collided, the seven rainbows exploded and the killing aura dispersed. The entire space seemed to transform into an illusionary world.

Violent shock waves traveled over, forcing Cheng Bijun to take several steps back. Her face was extremely pale. Meanwhile, the sounds of several powerful Quintessential Essence explosions traveled over before she was able to warn Zong Min about Di Jiu’s abilities.

The space engulfed by Zong Min’s fist aura and Di Jiu’s Gathering Peaks collided and exploded. The first fist mountain suddenly scattered into pieces. If Di Jiu’s Gathering Peaks Move had only had one fist mountain, Zong Min’s fist move and Di Jiu’s move would have been equal in strength.

Unfortunately, Di Jiu’s fist move had three fist mountains. Ever since he had attained the late-stage Golden Core Realm, the fist mountains of the Gathering Peaks Move had been growing stronger with every mountain that was formed.

Zong Min had just smashed the first fist mountain into pieces, when the second fist mountain engulfed him.

Crack! The bones in Zong Min’s hand were completely broken right before the bones of his arm were pulverized. The third fist mountain landed head-on on Zong Min’s chest. Zong Min flew like a stone fragment at the impact, spitting out a fountain of blood.

He was extremely shocked, as he had never seen a formidable fist move like Di Jiu’s. He was unable to even block one of his opponent’s fist moves, even though Di Jiu was dealing with both him and Bijun at the same time.

When she acknowledged Di Jiu’s formidable ability, Cheng Bijun realized that Zong Min was no match for him. She rushed out the instant Zong Min flew out, catching hold of him in time. Meanwhile, she placed two elixirs in Zong Min’s mouth.

Di Jiu did not continue to attack. Instead, he looked coolly at Cheng Bi Jun and Zong Min.

The first-stage Essence Soul Realm was nothing. Di Jiu was even debating whether he should kill the two of them. If they were killed, the danger he was in would lessen.

Di Jiu quickly rejected this thought. The level of danger he was in would not decrease simply because he had killed these two fellas. Surely, there would be more cultivators from the Constant Heaven Continent that had seen him.

“We are not your opponents. Although you are very strong, you cannot possibly kill us.” Cheng Bijun no longer had the oppressive aura she’d exuded at first. Instead, she adopted a cautious tone as she spoke to Di Jiu.

“Why? Do you still want my ring?” sneered Di Jiu. He would kill them both if they dared to attack him.

“The Polar Night Continent is indeed very far away, but that does not mean that the Enduring Immortal Sect is unable to head over. Let’s go, Senior Brother Min.” Cheng Bijun knew that she would only be humiliating herself if she tried to get Di Jiu’s ring now. Hence, she prepared to leave.

On Di Jiu’s body was the Spiritual Force imprint of the Small World. As long as this imprint existed, her father would be able to find Di Jiu.

“You are going to leave just like that?” Di Jiu sneered.
