Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1270: Next Target

After hearing Ou Yangming’s words, Li Daoyi and Yang Liu fell into silence.

As expected, the son of Ruler Yunzhong did not escape the pursuit of that young powerhouse.

It seemed that the third battle between mighty figures would begin soon. Ruler Yunzhong’s son had been killed, so he would not remain indifferent.

Li Daoyi comforted his friend, “Brother Yang, you don’t have to worry too much. It’s not certain whether Ruler Ying will be able to defeat Ruler Yunzhong. He might not have the chance to find trouble with you.”

“Brother Li, you don’t have to comfort me. He has defeated 2 mighty figures of the third step in a row and is incredibly powerful. Ruler Yunzhong’s strength is only about the same as that of the previous 2 Rulers. Even if he used his unique formations to trap that young man, I’m afraid he won’t be able to kill him.”

Yang Liu had a very good understanding of Ruler Ying’s strength. It was precisely for this reason that the third-step powerhouse behind him refused to challenge him.

Li Daoyi also understood this reasoning, but he still advised, “Not necessarily. Those 2 third-step Rulers might still have some ultimate moves that they haven’t used yet. This time, Ruler Ying killed the son of Ruler Yunzhong. I’m sure Ruler Yunzhong will disregard everything. He is, after all, an experienced third-step powerhouse. A desperate fight isn’t something that that little br*t can endure.”

“You’re right, but there’s also another possibility. Ruler Yunzhong might not be able to bear the pain of losing a child. As such, his emotions are unstable, which makes it even more dangerous.” Yang Liu was still very pessimistic.

He understood the mysterious youth, whose name was Ruler Ying, and knew that the other party could not be that simple.

Speaking of this topic, Yang Liu’s mood was also somewhat heavy. He did not even have much of the delicious food before he left in a hurry.

Li Daoyi could only take his leave as well.

Looking at their receding figures, Ou Yangming recalled the figure of that young man.

‘I didn’t expect that young man I met outside of the continent to be so famous. Before he even made a move, he had made the clan master of a top clan tremble in fear.’

After the two had left, Ou Yangming picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

The Zhenwu Continent was very far from the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain, and Ou Yangming’s name had yet to spread here. This was also good news for him. If that young man knew his strength, he might come knocking on his door.

‘So what? I want to see how different the geniuses from the other worlds are.’ Ou Yangming narrowed his eyes.

Yang Liu’s prediction was not wrong. After 3 days, Ruler Yunzhong challenged the young man to a duel. It was a battle of life or death.

That battle did not happen on the Zhenwu Continent but because of the attention, the news had spread quickly. The result was not good. Ruler Yunzhong had died at the hands of that young man.

This was the third powerful warrior that the young man had challenged, and the only one who had died at his hands.

Defeating a person and killing a person were two completely different concepts. The youth had used his strength to prove his mightiness.

When the news spread, the world was shocked.

The fall of a third-step almighty being was a heavy blow to the Humans.

That youth called Ruler Ying had announced on the spot that all the powerhouses in the Great Wide World were just paper tigers and were not worth mentioning. He had also announced that his next target was the Northern Blade Sect.

After finishing off one target, he sharpened his blade and brandished it at the next target.

The young man’s craziness was also shocking.

These days, Yang Liu has been in Starlight City. This was a small city. As long as he did not reveal his identity, Ruler Ying would not be able to find him here.

“Brother Yang Liu, are you really planning to leave?” Li Daoyi did not look good.

Yang Liu was still relatively safe here. Starlight City was only a small city, so it was not very realistic for Ruler Ying to come here.

Once Yang Liu left, there would be no guarantee.

Yang Liu said in a deep voice, “You’ve also seen the scenes of the battle. That person, Ruler Ying, is too powerful. The formations of Ruler Yunzhong had almost no effect on him. His body is immune to formations. At first, I thought that with the Big Mountain-guarding Formation, as long as Grandmaster doesn’t go out, he’d be able to be at ease. Now, I’m afraid it won’t work. I have to contact the other third-step powerhouses. I absolutely can’t let this guy continue to do as he wishes.”

“That’s a problem. The Humans’ third-step powerhouses can be counted on 2 hands. Besides, there are some who live in seclusion and don’t come out. They might not intervene.” Li Daoyi’s expression was somewhat unsightly.

“I believe those mighty figures should have a good idea. If Ruler Yunzhong hadn’t died, perhaps no one would’ve interfered. Now, things are different. Ruler Yunzhong was a mighty figure in the third step, and he was a guardian of the Humans. The enemy is undoubtedly going against us humans.

“How can there be a complete egg when the nest is overthrown? I even suspect that Ruler Ying isn’t human, or he’s not from this world.” Yang Liu was an intelligent expert, and his reasoning ability was astonishing.

A look of shock flashed through Li Daoyi’s eyes.

Yang Liu’s analysis was too shocking, but it made some sense.

Every mighty powerhouse was a precious treasure of the Humans. Unless it was a blood feud, everyone was still very restrained toward each other.

Even if there were some irreconcilable conflicts, they would at most have a few fights with each other.

On the other hand, that youth did not follow common sense at all. His methods were vicious, and he had even killed Ruler Yunzhong.

Yang Liu had left Starlight City. He wanted to contact the other third-step powerhouses.

The death of a third-step powerhouse had caused a great sensation. Even in a small city like Starlight City, this news could be heard everywhere.

For a time, the name of that young man called Ruler Ying had spread far and wide. Almost the entire Great Wide World knew his name.

In a small city at the edge of the Zhenwu Continent.

An old man and a young man were sitting by the window of a tavern. Although they were dressed strangely, no one associated them with Ruler Ying, who had roamed the Great Wide World.

This place was too small. It could not even be compared to Beishan City.

“Lil’ Ying, you shouldn’t have killed that guy.” The old man’s voice carried a bit of blame.

“Grandpa, didn’t that guy say that it was a showdown and a life-or-death battle? I’ve restrained myself when I fought the first 2 people. This time, it wasn’t my fault. That old man asked for it,” the young man in red said disapprovingly.

The old man was also wearing a long red robe. There seemed to be flames dancing between his eyes. He looked at the young man dotingly and said, “After you kill Ruler Yunzhong, the powerhouses of the Fifth World will probably target you. They might even join forces to deal with you.”

Even after hearing that, the young man did not think much of it. “They’re just a bunch of trash. If they dare to come at me, I’ll make sure they won’t be able to go back.”

“Don’t look down on any world. There are powerhouses in the Great Wide World too. Back then… ” The old man’s eyes were filled with reminiscence, but he did not finish his words.

“I know, I know. Don’t I still have you by my side, Grandpa? So what if they’re united? As long as you’re by my side, I’m not afraid at all.” The youth chuckled. He picked up a large piece of meat from the plate on the table and placed it in the old man’s porcelain bowl.

The old man placed the meat in the bowl into his mouth and chewed it twice, then he said, “With me by your side, I naturally won’t let others harm you. That said, don’t forget that we didn’t come to the Great Wide World to temper your combat techniques. If everyone’s attention is focused on us, when the Immortal Path of Heaven opens after 2 years, I’m afraid that we’ll be targeted by the powerhouses of the Fifth World.”

“Okay, I’ll be careful next time.” Ruler Ying nodded.

He looked into the distance and said, “Let’s go to the Northern Blade Sect next.”

“Up to you,” the old man said in a deep voice.

“What if that old thing doesn’t come out?”

“Up to you.”

The young man laughed.

Ou Yangming had been more vigilant because of the things that had happened in the past few days. He watched the fight between the young man and Ruler Yunzhong from Li Daoyi’s side.

From the beginning to the end, it was almost one-sided.

Ou Yangming did not know what kind of treasure the youth had that he could ignore the formation that Ruler Yunzhong had painstakingly set up. In the end, Ruler Yunzhong was decapitated by the youth’s Red Tassel Spear. The battle only lasted half a day. After Ou Yangming watched the entire battle, his expression gradually became solemn.

The powerhouses from other worlds were indeed extraordinary. Compared to Ruler Ying, the Nine-sworded Ruler was nothing.

This also meant that the powerhouse from the other worlds had officially begun to enter the Great Wide World.

There was also the old man beside Ruler Ying. Ou Yangming took a quick glance at his image and was immediately certain that this person was extraordinary. His body and the Great Wide World had perfectly fused together. The world energy that repelled the powerhouses from the other worlds had disappeared from the old man’s body without a trace.

Time passed bit by bit. Ou Yangming did not plan to continue staying in Starlight City. He left Wutong here to protect Old Craftsman and the others. He and the Swift Tortoise easily set out and flew toward the Mystic Sky Immortal City.

Ou Yangming wanted to inform the Mystic Sky Immortal City’s sect leader about the opening of the Immortal Path of Heaven. Perhaps the powerhouses from the Great Wide World had been alerted, but they should not know the exact time.

The most important enemies during the opening of the Immortal Path were the powerhouses of other worlds.

There were only less than 10 almighty powerhouses in the Great Wide World. If there were no outsiders, the probability of each person seizing the divine spark was very high.

The Swift Tortoise flew rapidly in the air. In just half a day, it arrived outside the Mystic Sky Immortal City.

Ou Yangming walked in alone. He wanted to buy some Ancient Demons’ blood essence first.

He had a lot of Dripping Blood Stones with him. It would be a waste if he did not use them. Having said that, it was very difficult to fuse the stones. If he wanted to continue, he had to rely on the blood essences. The ones that he had stolen from the Nine-sworded Ruler had been used up.

The Mystic Sky Immortal City was one of the few Supreme Immortal City of the Humans. It should not be a problem to buy some blood essences of Ancient Demons here.

Ou Yangming’s first choice was the RONGBAO Chamber of Commerce. He was quite familiar with this chamber of Commerce, and there was a gold card among them.

After walking in, Ou Yangming took out the gold card and walked up to the second floor.

Compared to the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce in Beishan City. This place was considered luxurious. Ou Yangming scanned his surroundings and immediately saw many precious treasures. Each of these things was worth a lot of money. Additionally, on the second floor, he could feel several auras of laws.

Since there were so many good things, how could they not be watched over by a powerhouse?

Seeing Ou Yangming walking over, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes approached him.

“Friend, what do you need?”
