The six swords moved in perfect unison! They swept towards his hands, feet, neck, and head, aiming for a swift and fatal blow!
Just as Ming Zhitian was about to meet his doom, he summoned the Blessing Dragon Sword, slashed his own fingers, and five Blood Demons instantly appeared!
Before the six assassins could react, the five Blood Demons sliced through their throats.
With the help of the Blood Demons, Ming Zhitian severed the God Binding Ropes and managed to break free.
"Four Unsurpassed Emperor Realm, Eighth Heaven, two Unsurpassed Emperor Realm, Tenth Heaven. Hmm? What is this?"
He pulled a letter from the assassin's embrace. The content was an order to assassinate Ming Zhitian, and a faint symbol was printed in the corner.
"Shu."
Ming Zhitian immediately thought of Emperor King Shu. "I don't seem to have any enmity with him. Why would he send people to kill me?"
What he didn't know was that someone had escaped using a clone.
Returning to Tianyu Desolate, Ming Zhitian sat quietly in his desolate dwelling, deep in thought. The Eight Desolates were not a long-term solution. Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor and the others would eventually find him, so he needed to find another way out.
He retrieved the ancient remains he had obtained from the void and tentatively touched them. Suddenly, the scene deepened like the stars, the atmosphere shifted drastically. Large-scale battles erupted all around, with thousands upon thousands of spells bombarding ceaselessly, and tens of thousands of gods and immortals. Various colossal beings and important figures appeared. Ming Zhitian's divine sense was almost completely absorbed, and only the Immortal Emperor's Eye, which could see through all things, managed to preserve him.
Without a doubt, this was the remnant body of an Emperor-level figure. If used wisely, it could be a powerful assistant.
Currently, he lacked nothing except for mechanical components, and it seemed ordinary materials wouldn't suffice.
The next day, Ming Zhitian, as he had wished, received a pile of mechanical components sent by Rong Xiao, along with a notice to leave.
Rong Xiao had intended to take Ming Zhitian as his deputy. However, he received the latest news that Ming Zhitian had offended Emperor King Shu and Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor, making him a hot potato he dared not handle.
Even if Ming Zhitian proved useful in the future, to secure a place in the Six Regions, one would need the fortune to enjoy it. Not to mention Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor's unfathomable cultivation, Emperor King Shu alone had reached the Second Heaven of the Great Perfection Great Wheel King Realm.
No matter how greedy Rong Xiao was, after weighing the pros and cons, he had to give up on Ming Zhitian, this capable golden hand.
"The Desolate Master also ordered me to convey a message to you: Emperor King Shu is already searching for your whereabouts everywhere. Please be careful."
Ming Zhitian nodded. "Please thank Desolate Master Rong Xiao for me."
He hadn't expected Desolate Master Rong Xiao to be so righteous, not only not exposing him but also relaying such crucial information. This made him even more certain that the six assassins from before were sent by Emperor King Shu.
Ming Zhitian took out all the mechanical components and began to assemble them. He could only piece together one-thousandth of a spirit puppet. The ancient remains had exceptionally high requirements for spirit puppets; even the slightest mistake could lead to complete failure.
He packed his belongings, ready to leave the Six Regions and Eight Desolates.
Suddenly, he sensed movement. Ming Zhitian released his divine sense and saw three Emperor King Shus scouring the area with piercing eyes. One was heading his way.
Ming Zhitian broke out in a cold sweat. It was Emperor King Shu and his two primordial spirit clones!
Ming Zhitian still wanted to hide for a while longer, but Emperor King Shu's divine sense discovered him!
"Run!"
Even his clones possessed ninety percent of the main body's strength. Ming Zhitian was not foolish; he had already summoned two clones to distract them.
After Emperor King Shu destroyed Ming Zhitian's two clones, the three of them simultaneously pursued Ming Zhitian's main body...!
Ming Zhitian's few flashes of movement were no match for the disparity in cultivation. He was quickly caught up by Emperor King Shu!
