Anyone who entered the Divinity Ranking was less than a hundred years old. They were at least at the pinnacle of the Divinity Realm, and above the third grade of the Origin Core. They were destined to become Dao Lords in the future. In the entire cultivation world of the Nine States, there were no more than one hundred and eight of them.
Thus, the Divine Arts Ranking was a legend to realm four cultivators.
In the eyes of the 108 people on the Divine Abilities Ranking, even a cultivator at the perfection stage of the Pill Tribulation Realm was an ant, let alone a trash at the first level of the Pill Tribulation Realm.
Even if this trash had an impressive name.
Lone Sword unsheathed his sword, and the wind and clouds surged.
Xie Tian could only retreat when he felt the terrifying sword intent that he had never seen before.
"You don't have to."
Du Jian finally glanced at Xie Tian, then at Wu Shang. He held his broadsword and bowed to Wu Shang. "Heavenly Sword Sect's Du Jian pays his respects to Senior Wu Shang."
The nervous Wu Shang subconsciously clenched his fist, only to find that there was a sword in his hand. He immediately raised it and said coldly, "If you don't retreat in three breaths, I will destroy your Heaven Sword Sect!"
"Hehe."
Solitary Sword laughed and looked playfully at the scene of Wu Shang clumsily waving his sword. To be honest, if Wu Shang was not once the number one God of Slaughter in the Nine States, he would not be able to stop himself from scolding him.
That was because Wu Shang's movements were simply too unsightly, even worse than the odd-job workers of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Senior Wu Shang, you're a body refiner, not a sword cultivator."
Out of a sliver of respect for Wu Shang, Solitary Sword spoke in a reserved manner. However, when he thought of the reason he had come, he said seriously, "But it doesn't matter. In the end, he's just a piece of trash waiting to die."
"Everyone in your sect, old and young, are trash!" Xu Shaoxiang cursed.
Even Xie Tian could only be glanced at by Du Jian. Xu Shaoxiang was an ant that could be completely ignored, so Du Jian was not angry. However, the words "master" reminded him of something.
"Since I stepped out of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I am no longer a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Ha!" Xu Shaoxiang laughed heartily. "A bunch of cowards who don't dare to admit what they've done. Even if they're arrogant, they're just like cowards!"
The area where the three of them were at had long become the focus of attention in the Nine States, as it was the first battlefield of the Nine States' God Punishing Tournament.
Therefore, Xu Shaoxiang's words were hurtful, and they hurt too many people.
Du Jianjian's eyes turned cold. He gently spun his broadsword, and a sharp sword intent shot out, shooting at Xu Shaoxiang like a bolt of lightning.
Xie Tian raised his fist to block the attack and was forced to retreat several hundred feet. His right arm trembled and drooped down, dripping with blood.
"Too weak." Du Jian felt a bit of disdain as he shook his head and said softly.
Xie Tian wasn't in the mood to answer. His entire mind was focused on the sword intent that had entered his body. The more he comprehended, the more uneasy he felt.
"Single Sword, do you have some shame?" Xu Shaoxiang's heart jumped when he saw that Xie Tian had been injured in one move. He scolded, "You're already in your forties, yet you still have the nerve to bully the young. Are you living like a dog?"
Wu Shang took a deep breath and tried to sit up, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground, looking extremely pathetic.
This made him even angrier, and he said angrily, "The Sky Sword Sect is in Middle Ground. If you dare to touch a single hair on Xie Tian's head, His Majesty will destroy the Sky Sword Sect!"
The terror of the Divine Emperor had long been ingrained in everyone's hearts. Even though Shen Feng's Divine Decree had exposed too many things, and the Sky Sword Sect had sent Du Jian because of this, Du Jian still subconsciously put away his disdainful smile when he heard the word "His Majesty".
"The Jin Dynasty is indeed terrifying." Du Jian nodded, and then looked around. "But where is it?"
"You!" Wu Shang was furious, but he couldn't say a word.
Du Jian sneered. "That's why I want to tell Senior Wu Shang that a featherless phoenix is inferior to a chicken. If it was Senior Zhen Nian of the Jin Dynasty, this would not have happened."
"If I had known that the Sky Sword Sect was so rebellious, I would have destroyed them that day!" Wu Shang was so angry that his bony hands made cracking sounds.
"That day! Haha!" Du Jian laughed. "Since Senior is a hero, why do you keep mentioning your past achievements? I promise that I will give Senior a dignified death today. Oh, but that does not include those two."
Xie Tian finally raised his head to look at Du Jian.
Seeing this, Du Jian raised his eyebrows. "Ant, if you want to speak, then hurry up. You won't have the chance to speak when the next sword strikes."
This was the calmness that a Perfected Being in the Divine Power Realm should have, with a thick sense of arrogance.
"The Golden Core transforms into the Nascent Embryo and achieves the Divine Power Realm. The Perfected Being in the world has nine grades of Nascent Embryo and Sword Embryo!"
Du Jian nodded. "These are your last words!"
Xie Tian shook his head, thought for a moment, and then frowned. "You are very scary."
"That's a compliment!"
"Your sword intent is as one, and there are no flaws. Your sword qi has already reached the peak!"
Du Jian laughed. "Flattery won't let you live!"
"So, you should have been a first-grade sword embryo." Xie Tian sized up Du Jian seriously.
Du Jian's expression changed slightly, and a fleeting look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He smiled. "So what if I am?"
"But you are not."
Du Jian's eyes narrowed, and the sword intent that he naturally released became a little sluggish.
Sensing this, Xie Tian was even more certain of his guess, but he couldn't smile. The seriousness in his eyes multiplied.
"Master, what is he saying?" Xu Shaoxiang was completely confused.
Wu Shang's anger disappeared. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Du Jian with a hint of fear in his left eye.
"Haha, looks like you've all guessed it."
Du Jian looked at Xie Tian and chuckled. "I'm not surprised that Senior Wu Shang could guess it, but I didn't expect you to guess it as well."
"The Great Freedom Nine Revolutions Sword Art." Xie Tian sighed. "I didn't think someone would actually be willing to cultivate this technique."
"What's so special about that?"
Du Jian turned his wrist, and his broadsword buzzed. Thunder filled the sky as it blew towards Xie Tian. At the same time, he said, "In order to achieve great freedom, the Nine Revolutions Sword Embryo is only the first step. If not, how can there be a chance to transcend?"
"Xie Tian, watch out!"
As Wu Shang roared, Xie Tian was already punching out crazily. Every punch was Heaven's Cry.
But Heaven's Cry, which could even tear open a crack in space, was unable to completely block the surging thunder.
Seeing this, Xie Tian's eyes widened in anger. He roared and punched out. "Explode! Explode!"
Of the three words in the nine techniques, the word "tremble" was the strangest, the word "speed" was the most extreme, and the word "explode" was the most intense.
Using the word "explode" to execute Heaven's Cry, the first thing that exploded was not the void or the thunder sword intent, but Xie Tian's arms.
As blood splattered everywhere, the unique eighteen Heaven's Cry slammed into the thunder, finally creating a three-foot-wide hole in Du Jian's thunder sword intent.
The Thunderstorm Sword Intent, which had a three-foot cut, passed through Xie Tian's body and blasted towards Wu and Shang.
Xu Shaoxiang's face paled slightly, and Wu Shang's left eye became moist.
The thunder sword intent that could easily kill them was destroyed when it was ten feet away from them. It turned into a bloody breeze that blew towards them.
Xu Shaoxiang was dumbfounded.
Wu Shang's left eye became a teardrop mixed with blood. It rolled down his cheek and fell to the ground.
Zzzt zzzt zzzt zzzt!
Countless bloody lines appeared on Xie Tian's face, neck, chest, abdomen, and legs. In the blink of an eye, Xie Tian was covered in blood.
The sword wind was gentle and murderous. Another half a sword strike, and Xie Tian had lost twice.
Seeing this, the One Qi Sect's You Zhu sneered.
"Ha, Xie Tian is no match for him at all."
"It's about time. If the Divine Emperor appears, he will definitely appear!" Li Chaoyang's voice trembled.
"Not necessarily. Xie Tian has many trump cards, and he has the treasure that can withstand the Heaven's Cauldron!"
"Heh, if I'm not wrong, the palace is waiting for that treasure!"
"Shen Shao, will you appear or not?" Zhen Youdao looked to the west. His eyes were filled with both excitement and unconcealable fear.
"Master, Xie Tian …" Xu Shaoxiang was horrified.
"Those eighteen punches should have left him unharmed, but we were behind him. So, of the eighteen punches, fifteen were used to kill us. The remaining three were not fully executed!"
Wu Shang was not as stupid as Xie Tian when it came to fighting fair and square. He could see through Xie Tian's intentions with one look, but he would rather not see through it.
"Hu Xietian!" Xu Shaoxiang wailed. "You bragging bastard! You said you're the best at escaping, but why don't you show me how to escape? If you can escape, I'll call you Senior Brother again!"
Clap, clap, clap!
Single Sword tossed his broadsword aside and sank into the ground. He then clapped his hands and sighed, "How loyal and righteous. How admirable. If it was another time, I would definitely get drunk with all of you for nine days and have a good chat before killing them."
"We can have a chat now."
Xie Tian endured the pain and carefully comprehended the sword will that had entered his body. He looked at Du Jian in Silence, smiling as he retreated.
"Unfortunately, I'm an impatient person." Du Jian landed on the ground and drew his sword.
"You'll slow down later."
"I'll only slow down if I kill you."
"I'll slow you down."
"You can't even defend against thirty percent of my sword essence. You'll die."
"You can't kill us."
"That ant is right. You really do like to boast."
After taking nine steps back, Xie Tian stood still and snapped his fingers. He smiled at Du Jian. "Boasting is not something you can boast about. You have to do it."
Du Jian stopped.
Because after he snapped his fingers, 108,000 faintly discernible stars appeared in his sword eye.
How could there be stars in broad daylight?
In the next moment, he remembered what his master, the Sky Sword Elder, had warned him before he left.
"Xie Tian is proficient in formations. He once used the darkness of the void to set up the Great Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array and buried all his enemies!"
"Is this the Great Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array?"
Du Jian looked up at the sky, feeling the bone-chilling murderous intent. He raised his sword and stepped forward.
