Luo Zheng ran away for the second time.
Even though he was unwilling, even though he was extremely ashamed, even though Xie Tian's gentle words of "don't run away this time" were like an uncontrollable demonic sound that kept tormenting him in his mind.
The reason for this strange escape was not because he was defeated.
But if he attributed it to the same reason as the first time, Luo Zheng couldn't accept it.
Because he knew very well that this time, Xie Tian didn't use his natural enemy's power to restrain him …
"At least he didn't use that kind of power to fight the enemy!"
But even so, he repeated the same mistake of escaping, and the reason seemed to be —
"What the hell!"
On the way away from Xie Tian, Luo Zheng's expression was gloomy, and he gnashed his teeth and spat out these three words.
These three words were the reason why he ran away for the second time.
Because Xie Tian did too many things that he couldn't think of.
For example, in a life-and-death battle, he temporarily improved his supernatural power.
For example, he used another supernatural power to complete the flood-level supernatural power, which he didn't expect at all.
For example, the supernatural power that was far more powerful than the flood-level supernatural power he had ever seen.
For example, he used him as a sparring partner.
For example, at the last moment …
"The Wood Origin!"
When he muttered these three words, an uncontrollable trance flashed across Luo Zheng's red eyes.
This trance seemed to be saying, "Why is it the Wood Origin?"
And for a moment, Luo Zheng thought of Xie Tian's last words.
That sentence was a repeat of his own words, but there was an additional word that represented agreement — indeed.
"Indeed, there should be a limit to everything."
When he said this, he meant that no matter how good Xie Tian's control of Mount Buzhou was, he couldn't compete with Luo Zheng's absolute power.
And the second half of the fifth battle also clearly proved this point.
But when it came from Xie Tian's mouth, it had a different flavor.
This flavor made Luo Zheng's whole body numb.
"The limit of the Earth Origin …"
Luo Zheng let out a breath of cold air.
The Origins of the Five Elements could be said to be the most basic Origins of the Heavenly Axiom in the universe. Although he didn't need to comprehend the rules, heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Axiom, through the inheritance contained in the Blood Essence, his understanding of the Origins of the Five Elements was second only to the human Daozu.
Thus, he understood that Xie Tian was referring to the limits of the Earth Origin Source.
"The Five Elemental Origins are mutually reinforcing and restraining …"
"The limit of the Origin of Earth is …"
"Wood restrains earth …"
Recalling the scene of Mount Buzhou overturning the sea and the World Tree reaching the sky, Luo Zheng's heart twitched.
This kind of whipping was anger, but also pain.
This was because he was the one who helped Xie Tian, who only had the Earth Origin, comprehend the Wood Origin.
If that was all, he wouldn't have fled.
"Wood Origin, 26% …."
Even though Xie Tian had just comprehended the origin of wood and had already reached twenty-six percent of the origin of earth, he felt as if he had seen a ghost …
However, Luo Zheng knew that this was all thanks to himself.
Of course, he was born arrogant.
Even though he had helped Xie Tian comprehend the Wood Origin to a terrifying degree, Luo Zheng, who had a previous record of doing so, wouldn't have fled. He would definitely have avenged the humiliation …
However, the moment he saw the World Tree and the hint of anticipation in Xie Tian's calm eyes, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
This was because he didn't want to be a sparring partner. He didn't want to help Xie Tian control the Flood-Grade Heaven and Earth Divine Ability the World Tree anymore. He also didn't want to help Xie Tian comprehend the third Origin of the Heavenly Axiom that could instantly reach 26%.
However, all of this was only a possibility and not a certainty.
When the ashamed and resentful Luo Zheng returned to the place where he had parted ways with the blood disciples …
"What the hell …"
This was the feeling he had after the second battle with the successor of the Evil Emperor.
Although he had fled, Luo Zheng was an expert.
An expert would definitely be decisive in his actions.
Thinking about how Luo Zheng had listened to his provocative words, he had still run away in the end. Xie Tian looked up at the baffled World Tree, his heart filled with regret.
"I could have comprehended the first five words …"
After 50 years of seclusion, he had comprehended 26% of the Earth Origin.
After fighting for 30 minutes, he had comprehended 26% of the Wood Origin.
Putting aside the Divine Ability and Control Divine Ability, just the amount of time he had spent on those two was enough to show how regretful Xie Tian was.
"You haven't killed me yet …"
Thinking about what Luo Zheng had said, Xie Tian felt even more displeased.
Not to mention killing …
"You haven't defeated me yet …"
Not to mention defeating …
"Even if I comprehended the first five words, I still can't defeat you …"
"Why did he flee …"
After the World Tree disappeared, Xie Tian, who was shaking his head, frowned and turned to walk toward the people of the Land of Nine Provinces.
"Why did he flee …"
"Why did he flee …"
"Flee …"
"Flee …"
…
Before the people of the Land of Nine Provinces could accurately determine why Luo Zheng had fled, they heard Xie Tian's dissatisfied mutterings and felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Just like the last time, they could not figure out the reason why Luo Zheng had fled in this battle.
Disregarding everything else, just the huge gap in combat strength between the two sides in the last battle had completely denied Luo Zheng's possibility of escaping from the most fundamental level.
But Luo Zheng had fled.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Dumbfounded, the small tree swallowed its saliva and stammered, "He fled, then, then, then, then, chase after him …"
What did it mean to suddenly see the light?
What did it mean to part the clouds and see the clear sky?
"Protect them!"
Xie Tian chased after him.
Only the dumbfounded Shooting Sun Bow and the people of the Land of Nine Provinces were left.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Du Long shivered and turned his head with a pale face, looking at the small tree with his single eye.
"You …"
Swish! Swish!
Swish! The other seventy-nine gazes gathered on the small tree!
"Small tree!"
"Joker King!"
"Joker King!"
"You are a f * cking joker!"
…
Just when the small tree realized something and its small face turned pale, Shooting Sun Bow, who had transformed into a middle-aged man, turned around and asked foolishly with his hands behind his back, "Who can tell me what happened?"
His white robe fluttered.
His blood-red hair fluttered.
The motionless Luo Zheng's expression changed more rapidly than the murderous clouds above his head.
If the first time he exclaimed that he had encountered an evil spirit, it was because of the word "natural enemy" that terrified him …
But this time, it was Xie Tian's own treachery that made him exclaim.
However, after thinking for a while, he still couldn't accurately attribute the shocking treachery that Xie Tian displayed to something specific.
Even though he knew that Xie Tian was the successor of the Evil Emperor.
In the end …
"Fortunately, you can't defeat me."
Luo Zheng was very sure of this.
With this thought, the fear in his heart faded a lot.
However, with this thought, the grievance in his heart began to spread.
'I can't defeat you.'
'I can bully you.'
The corner of Luo Zheng's eye twitched. He took a deep breath and exhaled a mouthful of foul air, feeling much better.
"Heh, what an interesting legend of the Evil Emperor …"
Before Luo Zheng could finish murmuring, the cold smile at the corner of his mouth stiffened. The red eyes of the figure that had suddenly appeared also changed in an instant, becoming unprecedentedly sinister and ruthless.
"Run after pretending," Xie Tian said softly while looking at Luo Zheng, "Where's your shame?"
