Ming Zhi Tian wore Long Liu Li’s twin fists, which then struck out, “Twin Stars Dragon Jade Flower Halberd Art!”
"Bang!"
Luo Shi Wang was repelled, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He raised a hand to wipe it, his eyes unable to conceal his killing intent. “This King admits, I underestimated you.”
Luo Shi Wang summoned his bone-crafted Pei Hun Saber, “No one can take this King’s woman.”
One move: “Hundred Bats Storm!”
Fei Jiang stood in front, a sword swing, “Thousand Thorns Eight Desolations!”
Ming Zhi Tian dared not be careless, channeling his artifacts, the 'Shu Jian Lu' Six Dharma Artifacts, “Six Harmonies Azure Net Five Emperors!”
On the other side, Yi Ni was about to collapse. She looked up at Shi Chen, feeling the time was right, and had her three thousand disciples gradually withdraw from the battlefield.
Ao Tian Wang, wielding his bone-crafted Annihilation Saber, unleashed, “Fear of Ice!”
Ben Ran Wang, holding his bone-crafted Liu Yu Saber, “Ten Thousand Laws Wither!”
Yi Ni showed no fear, her divine-grade artifact, the Light Sword, “Twilight Descent!”
The three forces collided! Mist swirled. Yi Ni, fighting two against one, was ultimately outmatched, sustaining minor injuries, but she still held them at bay.
Ming Zhi Tian and Fei Jiang’s combined attack only managed to fight Luo Shi Wang to a temporary draw. Of course, his Wan Chong Guan had not yet been unleashed, but his objective had been achieved.
“Fei Jiang, retreat!”
“Yes, Marshal Ming.”
Did they think they could come and go as they pleased? Luo Shi Wang was enraged, “Trying to escape? Come back!”
Ming Zhi Tian, however, said, “If I, Ming Zhi Tian, wish to leave, you are not qualified to stop me.”
He left behind one move: “Six Harmonies Azure Net Star Dragon Myriad Stars Divine Sword Slash!”
Luo Shi Wang countered with, “Hundred Bats Storm!”
As the smoke cleared, Ming Zhi Tian and Fei Jiang had long since fled, not forgetting to leave a parting threat, “Luo Shi Wang, your life is temporarily hanging by a thread on your neck…”
“Argh! Damn it!” Luo Shi Wang roared in fury, his palm smashing through the wall.
“This is bad, it might be a diversion.”
Luo Shi Wang hurried towards Ao Tian Wang and the others.
On the other side, Yi Ni smiled faintly, “My Master should have succeeded, and I too can now withdraw.”
Seeing her about to escape, how could Ao Tian Wang and Ben Ran Wang let their prey slip away? With Luo Shi Wang’s arrival, the three of them together would surely capture her. They were wondering why Luo Shi Wang was not yet here.
Yi Ni said, “You cannot stop me.”
As expected, though all three were of the Divine Heaven realm, with two blocking the southeast and southwest, they could not hold back the northwest, allowing Yi Ni to escape.
Ao Tian Wang was unwilling and moved to pursue, but Ben Ran Wang stopped him, “Do not pursue a cornered foe. It might be a diversion. Let’s go and check on Luo Shi Wang first.”
Luo Shi Wang arrived. The three looked at each other, “He got away. How about your side? He got away.”
Luo Shi Wang was furious, “This is bad! We’ve all been tricked! Immediately issue an order, we must find them and crush them!”
…………
Piao Ling’er’s dwelling…
The original plan was to divide the Three Kings of the Disciples and annihilate them one by one. It was only because Ming Zhi Tian could not abandon the Star Empress that they gave up. Fei Jiang and Yi Ni said nothing more.
The Star Empress was forced to constantly serve the Three Kings of the Disciples, reduced to a tool for their satisfaction. She had to take poison long-term to alleviate her internal pain. Each time the pain struck, it felt like ten thousand ants tearing at her.
When she awoke, she was in immense discomfort. Ming Zhi Tian gave her a soothing sedative. After a thorough examination, upon discovering that she had been poisoned with something akin to white flour, something addictive and irresistible, his expression became extremely grim.
Although the Star Empress felt a sense of relief after taking the sedative, she knew full well that the chronic ailment caused by the poison in her body was incurable. She grabbed Ming Zhi Tian’s collar, screaming tearfully:
“Why did you save me? Why did you harm me? Why didn’t you let me die? I left Luo Shi Wang, how can I live? You ask me how I live?!”
