Chapter 1130: Used All His Trump Cards
From the Nine-sworded Ruler’s perspective, Ou Yangming’s potential was even greater, which was why he had chosen to kill him first!
“Be careful!” The sword-light came too quickly, and Du Xie hurriedly shouted.
He was worried about Ou Yangming’s safety but at this moment, no one could do anything about it. The other party was too fast and strong.
No one could stop an ultimate Ruler in the third step, not even Ou Yangming at the moment. Nonetheless, the young fellow still calmed down.
His heart was as calm as dead water, and the blood in his body began to flow faster. Under the effect of Xing Tian’s blood essence, he felt as if his chest was burning with flames.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and a fighting spirit flashed across his body!
“Heaven’s Destruction!”
A terrifying aura burst out from the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer. A huge black dragon flew out from the muzzle of the spear and charged toward the Nine-sworded Ruler’s sword Qi without any hesitation.
The black dragon was fearless. It represented the will of the god of war. Even if one was no match for one’s opponent, one would not retreat even half a step.
In just a brief moment, the sword Qi gushed over, and the destructive sword-light dissipated a lot of the light on the black dragon. The black dragon seemed to be even more furious, and it swallowed the fearsome sword-light in one gulp.
Du Xie was stunned. He had thought that even if Ou Yangming’s strength was not bad, the young fellow was at most slightly superior to him and was not at the second step.
Nevertheless, when Ou Yangming attacked just now, Du Xie immediately felt a dangerous aura. This move was definitely not something he could block.
Ou Yangming could burst out with an incredibly powerful combat power that surpassed that of the second step.
Moreover, he even dared to fearlessly make a move against a powerhouse of the third step. This kind of courage made Du Xie admire the young fellow endlessly.
When the Nine-sworded Ruler appeared, even Du Xie did not have any thoughts of resisting because the disparity between them was simply too great.
A powerhouse at the third step was as rare as a Phoenix’s feather or a qilin’s horn in the Great Wide World and was absolutely not someone Du Xie could contend against. Du Xie was already mentally prepared to die, but Ou Yangming did not think so.
Even if Ou Yangming were to die, he still had to use his utmost strength.
The black dragon and the sword-light were in a stalemate for a long time but in the end, the former was defeated. An ordinary Ruler who comprehended the laws and a Ruler at the limit of the third step. The gap between them was too great. The problem was not their techniques, but the huge gap between their strengths.
Even with a heaven-defying art like the Supreme Spear Principle, one would not be able to fill the gap.
Of course, the black dragon was still very useful. It had dissipated, but it had also taken away more than 80% of the sword-light’s power.
Ou Yangming’s body burst out with the power of the law of Yin and Yang. Although the sword-light was only left with 20%, it was still enough to kill an ordinary Ruler who fathomed the laws, hence he had to be careful.
“Hiss!”
The sword-light tore through the air and collided with the power of laws from Ou Yangming’s body. He quickly retreated, and fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Ou Yangming was injured. The sword-light was only left with 20% of its power, but it was still terrifying. He barely managed to block it with all his strength.
Du Xie and Jin Wu, who were in the swamp, looked shocked. For an ordinary Ruler who understood the laws to be able to block a move from a mighty figure of the third step was already a miracle. Even a powerhouse of the second step would not be able to do it.
The gap between them was just too great. Every step achieved by a Ruler was a qualitative improvement in the power of laws. There was honestly no comparison between the different levels.
Ou Yangming had lost, but the result had exceeded everyone’s expectations.
The sword-light dissipated, and there was a look of disbelief in the Nine-sworded Ruler’s eyes. He had not used his full strength, but he had not deliberately held back.
Even in his world, it was difficult to find someone who could block a move of a third-step Ruler.
“Genius—a genius indeed.”
The killing intent in the Nine-sworded Ruler’s heart grew even more intense. If such a genius was not dealt with as soon as possible, he would certainly become a serious stumbling block when the alliance leader launched a large-scale attack here in the future.
He had never thought of asking Ou Yangming to join them. This young fellow was different from the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis. The Nine-sworded Ruler was confident that he could easily control the 2 races, but he would not be able to control the top-notch genius.
‘The move that he used just now…’ The Nine-sworded Ruler recalled in his heart. That fearless black dragon just now had left a deep impression on him. If it was not for the fact that his opponent’s strength was too weak, that dragon would be able to devour his sword-light.
“Young fella, hand over the move you just used, and I’ll spare your life.” The Nine-sworded Ruler scoffed. His aura had completely locked onto Ou Yangming.
The Nine-sworded Ruler was not worried that his opponent would run away. Now that Ou Yangming’s aura was weak, that heaven-defying move must have consumed too much of his energy. The young fellow was already at the end of his rope. Furthermore, not everyone had the right to run away from the old man.
Ou Yangming’s face was pale, but he still showed a mocking expression. “Do you think that I’ll believe your nonsense?”
The Long Feather Band in Ou Yangming’s hand flashed, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his hand. He shouted loudly, “Watch out for my magic weapon!”
With that, the bronze mirror flashed, and the Nine-sworded Ruler on the opposite side was shocked. He did not expect that this young fellow would not give up.
If it were any other Ruler who understood the laws, the Nine-sworded Ruler would not be worried no matter what weapon one took out. On the other hand, he was still very cautious when it came to this young fellow. Based on the fellow’s moves just now, it was evident that he was not ordinary.
The Nine-sworded Ruler focused and looked at the bronze mirror cautiously, wanting to see what the young fellow was up to. Who knew, the fellow simply threw the mirror to him and turned around to run. He did not forget to call out to Du Xie when he ran away.
“Senior, let’s go!”
Ou Yangming released the dragon boat and flew up quickly. Du Xie did not hesitate and stepped onto the boat. The clan master did know what the young fellow was thinking. To run away from a third-step powerhouse was tremendously difficult.
Despite that, Du Xie was still very cooperative. Even if there was only a 1-in-10,000 chance, it was still much better than dying here for nothing.
“Trying to escape? You’re really courting death!” A cold glint flashed across the Nine-sworded Ruler’s face. He did not intend to ask any more questions. As long as he killed the 2 of them, he might be able to find spear techniques from their belongings.
Just as he got up and was about to chase after them, a person suddenly walked out from the bronze mirror that Ou Yangming had thrown out.
At this time, the Nine-sworded Ruler panicked. The person turned out to be his old rival. This person had killed his entire family in the past, and he had also killed him back then.
‘How is he still alive?’
“Baili Saber Ruler, you’re actually still alive. Die!”
The Nine-sworded Ruler’s expression was ferocious as the sword-light in his hand flashed.
“Heavenly Sword Technique!”
The sky was filled with the sword-light. Facing his mortal enemy, the Nine-sworded Ruler did not hold back at all. He launched his strongest attack right away.
Sword Qi swept across. Even Ou Yangming, who had flown far away, felt a bone-chilling chill in his heart. He had underestimated the strength of a powerhouse at the limit of the third step. If his opponent had used this move just now, he would have died without a doubt.
Ou Yangming quickly walked to the side of the dragon boat. He tapped 3 times with the long spear in his hand. The formation that had originally stabilized the dragon boat was completely destroyed by him.
Consequently, the speed of the dragon boat increased tenfold. This was the hidden function of the dragon boat. Once the formation was destroyed, it would naturally enter escape mode. Of course, after using it once, the boat would also be destroyed and could no longer be repaired.
As compared to their lives, the dragon boat was nothing. Ou Yangming and Du Xie stepped on the dragon boat and instantly disappeared into the horizon like meteors.
On the other side, after a sword strike, the figure that walked out of the bronze mirror disappeared.
“Crack…”
The copper mirror could not withstand the aura of the Nine-sworded Ruler and exploded abruptly, turning into small pieces. The Ruler calmed down and realized that he had been deceived.
It turned out that the mirror was the Self-examination Mirror, which was a treasure that Ou Yangming had obtained in the Spiritual Realm. Its only function was to stimulate one’s inner demons and temper one’s willpower.
After Ou Yangming had obtained this treasure, he had never had the chance to use it himself. He did not expect that this time, he would use it to escape.
The Nine-sworded Ruler really thought that Ou Yangming would take out some powerful weapon, so he focused all his attention on the mirror. Unexpectedly, it had stimulated his inner demons.
At this time, the dragon boat in the sky had disappeared. While the mirror was still functioning, the 2 of them had already fled far away.
The Nine-sworded Ruler’s face was cold. A young fellow who had just comprehended the laws had used despicable means to escape from him. This was unacceptable.
“Damn it!” The Nine-sworded Ruler had not been so angry for many years. He looked at the empty sky in front of him and said in a deep voice, “Do you really think you can escape from me?”
“Sir Nine-sworded Ruler.”
Seeing that the battle was over, Jin Wu, who was in the swamp, shouted nervously. He and the other Rulers were seriously injured, and their bodies began to sink.
The Nine-sworded Ruler glanced at them coldly and shouted coldly, “What a bunch of trash!”
If it were not for the fact that the 2 clans were useful to his plan, the Nine-sworded Ruler would have killed them.
By grabbing the ground with one hand, the powerhouses were all grabbed up into the air. The power of laws formed a carpet in the air, allowing them to land steadily.
“Thank you, sir.”
“Thank you, Sir Nine-sworded Ruler.”
Jin Wu was so touched that he burst into tears. If it was possible, he would be willing to call the Nine-sworded Ruler his father. If it were not for the Ruler’s timely arrival, he would have been scared out of his wits like Luo Shan.
Having said that, the Nine-sworded Ruler did not pay any attention to them. His gaze was fixed on the Sealing Formation on the ground, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
This formation was very powerful. It was surely set up by a formation master. The blood of the powerhouses of the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis were also suppressed by it. If it were not for the fact that it had been too long, even he would not have been able to create a passage.
It was a pity that time was the most vicious weapon. Nothing in the world could withstand the passage of time.
The Nine-sworded Ruler stood silently in the void, holding the giant sword in his hand. He suddenly raised his hand, and a huge sword-light slashed downward.
