The joyful times passed by particularly quickly, and it was time for farewells again. Ming Zhitian and Liang Ming stayed at the Yuan Mansion for a night and left the next day.
Yuan Shaming, the head of the Yuan family, personally saw them off. The Star Empress said, "I'm going back. Are you returning to the Divine Sect?"
Ming Zhitian thought for a moment, "I want to go back to Huayang City first. I told you before, I need to bring my wives to the Divine Sect. Only then can I be at ease."
The Star Empress smiled faintly, "It seems you're just like your master, getting better and better at charming women everywhere."
Ming Zhitian scratched his head and chuckled, "Not at all, it's nothing like that."
The Star Empress waved her hand and vanished before Ming Zhitian's eyes.
Just as Ming Zhitian was about to leave, a palm strike suddenly whistled towards him! Ming Zhitian's pupils dilated, and he narrowly dodged it.
Upon clearly seeing the attacker, whom he didn't recognize, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
The person merely smiled slightly and attacked again! The strike came whistling! The palms were accompanied by faint lightning, indicating they were wearing some kind of magical artifacts.
Ming Zhitian clearly saw the attacker's cultivation level: "Awakening Realm, tenth level?"
It was somewhat troublesome. Ever since Ming Zhitian reached the tenth level of the God Sealing Realm, his ability to kill opponents from higher realms had been gradually weakening, perhaps due to the higher tier of his own cultivation, which had imposed restrictions.
"Star Dragon Jade Flower Halberd Art!"
Ming Zhitian threw out a punch! It clashed with the incoming strike, but he was knocked back several steps by a palm.
Ming Zhitian punched again: "Double! Star Dragon Jade Flower Halberd Art! Come forth! Impact!"
The attacker sneered, "Flashy and gaudy, fall for me!"
Ming Zhitian felt his arms go numb. The opponent's techniques had an attraction force. He thought of the Heaven Swallowing Divine Art, but the two were in entirely different leagues.
Even so, Ming Zhitian couldn't defeat him. Once he broke through to the Awakening Realm, how could he let this fellow be so arrogant?
"Bang!"
Ming Zhitian was sent flying by a palm strike! He rolled on the ground, swallowing dust.
The attacker approached rapidly, seeming intent on taking his life. Ming Zhitian coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood onto the ground.
"Cough... Come forth!"
The Star-grade magical halberd from his storage bag flew out! But it was all dismissed by the attacker's Wild Thunder Palm!
"Clang, clang, clang..."
Ming Zhitian tried to use another technique, but was sent flying again by the attacker's backhand palm.
Ming Zhitian's consciousness gradually blurred. He was stared at intently, with no room for retreat.
Ming Zhitian shook his head, clearing his mind, "Who exactly are you? What grudge do we have?"
The attacker sneered, "What's the point of a dead man explaining anything to you? But what does it matter if I tell you? Blame yourself, not every woman is worthy of your longing."
"Women?" Ming Zhitian desperately tried to recall, but found nothing.
Seeing the attacker press closer, Ming Zhitian frowned, "What do you want? What do you want? I can give you anything, as long as you let me go today."
The attacker coldly sneered, "Alright."
He then spread his legs, pointed, and said, "Crawl through my crotch, and I'll consider it."
Ming Zhitian knew he was being humiliated and toyed with, but he still lowered his head and crawled through.
The attacker burst into laughter, "Crawl, faster! Crawl with all your might, Hahaha..."
Ming Zhitian endured the humiliation...
Halfway through crawling, suddenly! Ming Zhitian backhanded a punch, striking the part the attacker considered his lineage's pride!
"Urgh! You're courting death!"
With a sound of ripping fabric and a bloody mess, he quickly took an unknown pill and then bolted, chasing after Ming Zhitian with all his might, "You brat, you're finished!"
Ming Zhitian also took a hundred-grade healing pill and fled for his life. He ran with all his might, not daring to look back at the enemy who was continuously tearing space rifts behind him to chase him.
He pondered where he could escape to find safety, and who could help him.
Unfortunately, the Divine Emperor's Sacred Land, the Sect, and the Yuan family were all behind that person, so he couldn't return. He could only head towards the Twenty-Three Sects and Thirty-Nine Gates.
