Lei Luo Huang Zhu sneered, "This is called 'a soldier never tires of deceit.' The process doesn't matter, only the result. As long as one can win."
Ming Zhi Tian wiped the blood from his cheek, "Qi Tu!"
"What?!"
Lei Luo Huang Zhu stared at the person before him in disbelief. He had said nothing, done nothing, yet Ming Zhi Tian, with just a look, had unleashed his signature ultimate technique.
Lei Luo Huang Zhu hastily activated his own: "Qi Tu!"
But the killing blow had already struck. Before he could even unsheathe his sword, he was engulfed, utterly bewildered.
"Lei Luo Huang Zhu has been defeated! And he couldn't last five moves either!"
"Heavens, who is this young man? His cultivation is indeed only at the fifth level of the Divine Emperor realm."
Ming Zhi Tian stood with his hands behind his back, "Do I now qualify to challenge the First Huang Zhu?"
A man in white from the front seats flashed forward!
This person was the foremost of the Eight Desolations, the Lord of the End Desolation, Mai Qian Yang. He wasted no words, unleashing a swift sword strike!
Before the sword was even drawn, it was swung. Ming Zhi Tian quipped, "A swift sword indeed!"
"Ascension!"
"Ascension!"
Two wild dragon spells collided from either side!
Like twin dragons breaking ice!
As they struggled and merged, Mai Qian Yang was defeated! Again, within five moves.
Mai Qian Yang was unconvinced, "You only know how to plagiarize others' techniques."
Ming Zhi Tian shrugged, "I know you are not convinced. If you are not convinced, come and fight!"
Mai Qian Yang raised his sword to attack but was stopped by Rong Xiao, "The victor has been decided. Mai Qian Yang, as the former First Huang Zhu, are you going to go back on your word?"
Though indignant, Mai Qian Yang did not want to lose face in front of everyone, "Boy, are you scared?"
Ming Zhi Tian replied, "What is there for me to fear? Come and fight!"
Rong Xiao came to his side, making a gesture, "Let it end here. This victory was hard-won, and your mission is complete."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Rong Xiao Huang Zhu, please rest assured. I know what I am doing, and I must accept his challenge to ensure Tai Yu Huang can consistently hold the position of First Lord."
Rong Xiao still wanted to say something, "But..."
Ming Zhi Tian gave him a confident look. Mai Qian Yang was delighted. If you don't court death, you won't die. Ming Zhi Tian was still too young; a little provocation and he would fight again, and this time he wouldn't be able to replicate others' techniques.
Ming Zhi Tian drew a horizontal slash with his sword, his eyes gleaming. All of Mai Qian Yang's moves were visible to him.
Their swords clashed several times, shaking mountains and overturning seas!
Soon, Ming Zhi Tian found a flaw and shattered it with thunderous force! It was still five moves, and Mai Qian Yang was defeated! He was truly convinced.
Ming Zhi Tian had not failed his mission, securing the top spot for Rong Xiao Huang Zhu of Tai Yu Huang. The position of First Huang Zhu for the next five years was undoubtedly Rong Xiao's.
Next were the handover matters for Rong Xiao Huang Zhu to ascend to the position of First Huang Zhu. Ming Zhi Tian found it inappropriate to participate. He did not forget to say, "Remember my mechanical equipment. You promised."
Rong Xiao Huang Zhu quickly smiled obsequiously, "That... that is assured!"
On the way back, Ming Zhi Tian suddenly sensed something was wrong, "Kill!"
Two chains whizzed past Ming Zhi Tian, missing their mark.
Two assassins then swept past with their swords!
Ming Zhi Tian raised his sword to block, "Bai Zi Jue!"
"Boom!" He repelled both of them!
"You are Ming Zhi Tian?"
Ming Zhi Tian looked up, "It is I. You...?"
The assassins said, "Ming Zhi Tian, someone wants you dead."
Ming Zhi Tian tried to ask further, "Take your life!"
Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with Binding God Ropes. Ming Zhi Tian, having evaded the first danger, could not avoid the second. The trap had been premeditated.
Ming Zhi Tian, unprepared, found his hands and feet bound. Six people then leaped out from within!
They were incredibly fast and well-trained. They were top-tier divine assassins!
