"Break it open for this King!" Great Nether Heavenly King waved his hand and instantly killed a thousand mechanical puppet people of Divine Might Realm First Layer!
"Hm? Hiding your head and showing your tail, get out here for this King!"
The Imperial Sky Halberd swung fiercely again! Another thousand mechanical puppet people were slain!
Ming Zhi Tian felt cold sweat trickling down his back. Heavily injured and with depleted spiritual energy, he was trying to heal. "Time is not enough."
"Come out!"
"Get out!"
"Pay for your impudence, for your arrogance!"
"Dark Spell! ... Come out!"
"Rumble! ... Bang bang bang..."
Out of nine thousand mechanical puppets, only eight hundred remained, annihilated in mere moments.
These ten thousand mechanical puppet people were condensed by Ming Zhi Tian in the tomb grounds, using a vast amount of expensive mechanical equipment and over a month of precious time.
The outcome made Ming Zhi Tian's heart ache, but he was helpless; survival was all that mattered.
With his body half-recovered, he attached himself to one of the eight hundred remaining puppets, biding his time.
Great Nether Heavenly King’s sinister smile observed the eight hundred puppets. "You think hiding will save you? The next move will be your burial ground!"
"Dark Spell!"
Ming Zhi Tian wanted to say, "Do you only know this one move?" but he restrained himself.
As the spell instantly struck, Ming Zhi Tian, wielding his weapon, condensed his sword and launched it from behind each concealed puppet!
Great Nether Heavenly King intended to block the counterattack. Seeing Ming Zhi Tian leap out from the puppet cluster, he did not retract his move. "Die!"
This caught Ming Zhi Tian by surprise. Both were injured! The eight hundred puppets were incinerated. Ming Zhi Tian felt as if his bones were shattered, his skin cracking, and diamond blood flowing throughout his body. He plummeted from mid-air, almost unconscious.
Great Nether Heavenly King was not faring any better. He had been struck by five divine swords. A Jade Kylin Sword was lodged in his left shoulder, a Emperor Slaying Sword in his right, almost piercing his heart. Three swords were impaled in his back: the King of Hell Sword, the Seven Steps Flying Sword, and the Unending Departure Sword.
Great Nether Heavenly King was channeling immense, ocean-like spiritual power, attempting to force the five divine swords from his body. "I admit, among all the Divine Might Realm experts, you are the most outstanding. But... a dead man is ultimately just a dead man."
Ou Huang, the guard, appeared and rescued Ming Zhi Tian, who was falling from ten thousand meters high and was about to be smashed to pieces. "Master!"
Ming Zhi Tian's last hazy consciousness was, "You..." before he fainted.
Yi Ni slowly put Ming Zhi Tian down, believing him dead. Then, with a flicker, she appeared ten thousand meters in the sky!
Confronting Great Nether Heavenly King, who was still channeling spiritual power. "Did you kill Master?"
Despite being wounded by five divine swords, Great Nether Heavenly King scoffed. "Heavenly God Realm Triple Layer? Hmph, you speak to this King with such a tone?"
Yi Ni's expression was cold. "I ask you again, was it you who struck Master?"
Great Nether Heavenly King showed some confusion. "You call that Divine Luo Realm Ninth Layer brat Master? Truly a low-class creature."
Yi Ni summoned a luminous sword. Great Nether Heavenly King looked up and said, "You... intend to attack this King?"
Although he was at Heavenly God Realm Ninth Layer, he was currently impaled in vital points by five Dragon-grade divine swords, meaning his movement was sealed.
Even though the person before him had a higher cultivation, Ming Zhi Tian had once shown him kindness. Yi Ni feared nothing, only seeking revenge for Ming Zhi Tian. Holding his luminous sword, he unleashed a strike: "Twilight Descent!"
