The Dark Emperor continued, "He also boasted that he would trample the Ten Directional God Emperors underfoot like ants. I, being incompetent, spoke the truth and was once schemed against by his malicious intentions! This has led to my current inability to fully exert my strength when facing the sun's light. If I do not avenge this today, I am no longer human!"
These grand pronouncements immediately sparked resentment towards Ming Zhi Tian from the other nine God Emperors, who cast hateful glares his way.
Before they could speak, Ming Zhi Tian interjected, "Dark Emperor, your combat prowess is mediocre, but your talent for framing and slandering is second to none."
The Dark Emperor twisted the truth, "Stop your sophistry! I heard it with my own ears and saw it with my own eyes!"
The Light Emperor said, "Let us work together to eliminate this demon star's spy and sever future troubles!"
"Agreed!"
The Ten Directional God Emperors instantly surrounded Ming Zhi Tian. The child shouted angrily, "What are you doing?! Emperor Ming is a good person, you must not!"
The Dark Emperor chuckled slyly and said, "Child, you are too young and don't understand the ways of the world. Don't be deceived by the villains before you."
The child tried to defend Ming Zhi Tian again, but Ming Zhi Tian waved him away, "Child, step aside. I don't even regard these mere ten people."
The child beamed, "Brother is amazing, Brother, go for it!" He then wisely retreated to the side, knowing he couldn't be a burden to Ming Zhi Tian at this moment.
The Dark Emperor feigned concern, "Everyone, this person is cunning and devious, possessing unique movement techniques and further enhanced by divine artifacts. Do not be careless!"
Upon hearing this, the nine God Emperors were overjoyed! They were eager to engage, and the straightforward Thunder Emperor exclaimed, "He actually has divine artifacts on him?! Haha, this trip was definitely worth it! How should we divide them later? Hmm… he must have a lot of treasures!"
"It worked as planned," the Dark Emperor inwardly rejoiced.
Ming Zhi Tian directly summoned his supreme divine artifact, the Wu Jian (Unrivaled Sword), and began to mock, "Will you come one by one, two by two, or… all at once?"
"Arrogant!"
The Dark Emperor attacked first, and Ming Zhi Tian found it somewhat surprising. Was he really the first to court death?
"Ink Shadow Thousand Sorrows!"
As expected, Ming Zhi Tian felt an attack that appeared strong but was in reality weak, launched by a magical technique.
"Bai Zi Jue! Bai is not Bai, Dao is not Dao, ink flowers bloom, purifying the green lotus!"
After unleashing his attack, the Dark Emperor feigned being repelled and stumbled backward, while the nine God Emperors pressed their advantage!
The Water Emperor suddenly unleashed his technique: "Eight Directions Divine Water Art!"
The Fire Emperor followed closely with: "Divine Fire from Heaven descends!"
"Earthquake Mountain!"
"Sorrowful Separation!"
...
...
"Black Swallow!"
"Gazing Heaven!"
Ming Zhi Tian condensed his sword and swung: "Startled Swan Sword!"
The Wind, Thunder, and Snow Emperors followed in quick succession: "Fierce Heaven Wind Strike!"
"Heaven-Propping Divine Thunder!"
"Ten Thousand Year Ice and Snow!"
"Rumble! Bang bang bang! ..."
All the magical techniques converged! A dazzling array of colors. Ming Zhi Tian's Startled Swan Sword clashed with the magical techniques of several others, a stalemate!
It wasn't over yet. The Light Emperor unleashed his supreme magical technique: "Death Ray!"
Ming Zhi Tian's vision was temporarily blinded! The Void Emperor's technique struck: "All Things Revive!"
The Qi Emperor followed with: "Heaven and Earth Collapse!"
The Foam Emperor's move: "Rain Sea Returns to Field!"
The Dark Emperor's lips curved upwards, this was the perfect moment! He launched a surprise attack from behind: "Ink Shadow Thousand Sorrows!"
Ming Zhi Tian was prepared, having anticipated this strike. He instantly flipped and slashed out with his sword: "Heavenly Dragon's Roar!"
"Pfft...…………"
The Dark Emperor was heavily wounded, "Damn it..."
This was a case of trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice. All the magical techniques, instead of hitting Ming Zhi Tian, were dispersed by the Wu Jian and struck his chest, causing him to vomit blood and suffer severe injuries!
