It was already early in the morning, but the heavenly light was still blocked by layers of dark clouds, making the sky dome look like it was covered in a shell made of asphalt. Even though it was gloomy to the point where it might drip down at any time, it was also sticky and difficult to separate.
Orange-golden divine light was released from Zhuang Kuoting's body, becoming a small sun that stretched out ten li. It was as if he was a deity that descended from the heavens, bringing endless confidence to the guards on the city gate tower.
"Deity Realm …"
The void twisted into wriggling giant snakes, also erupting with golden divine light at the same time, as if the air itself was painted in gold. Those giant snakes surrounded Li Ku at the center, making him look like the stamen of a flower. This giant flower was only complete with Li Ku, but the flower would still wither in the end. Wither was destruction, the destruction power that came from nature. How could the most terrifying thing be anything but an unstoppable force? It was just like how no one could stop new leaves from becoming old, old leaves from turning to mud.
Li Ku stopped, as if he couldn't bear to destroy this giant golden flower's completeness, as if he also pursued the concept of beauty just like everyone else. However, if one listened carefully, they would hear him mutter to himself, "I seem to have misunderstood something …"
Misunderstood something?
Zhuang Kuoting who was controlling the giant golden flower's movements, all of his muscles contracting. This was a habit of his. Whenever he was about to take action with full force, he would make this type of movement. However, if one could see his face, they definitely wouldn't believe that someone as cold and aloof as him would reveal this type of expression, as if he saw a ghost. However, soon afterwards, he slowly smiled again. When his face that wasn't that ordinary or too old smiled, there were many more wrinkles, as if a stone was thrown into a pond. Even though he was smiling, everyone could easily sense that his mood was already no longer as calm as it was before.
"What you are trying to say is that from the start until now, you haven't used all of your strength, correct?" Even though it was a question, Zhuang Kuoting spoke with certainty. "You believe that you haven't used all of your strength, and that is why you feel that my belief that I can match you is laughable, correct?" Even though these words were a bit roundabout, Li Ku still understood. As such, he revealed a hint of mockery.
The huge golden flower moved. The pistils of the flower sunk in layer by layer, and thousands of rays of golden light soared into the sky, almost breaking through the lead clouds in an instant. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and heavy rain poured down amidst the deafening rumbles. A blinding flash of lightning.
The two armies were instantly blinded. When they recovered their vision, they discovered that the golden stamen had begun to collapse from the inside. It was as if a fire had been lit in the middle of a sunflower, and its destructive momentum was almost unstoppable.
Unknowingly when, Zhuang Kuoting turned around, his back to Li Ku. However, everyone quickly noticed that something was off. His eye sockets were sunken, already forever losing luster. He didn't turn around on his own volition either. His arms, neck, and head were twisted a hundred and eighty degrees. Only under the cover of his clothes did it look like he was turning around. He obviously didn't realize that death was coming, so the expression on his face was very strange.
Only one person here saw clearly what Li Ku did in that instant. In his eyes, Li Ku didn't do anything, only using the old flute at his waist to wave it out in a simple manner, as if he was chasing away a fly. In his divine senses, the radiance of that wave completely covered the endless streaks of golden light. It was to the extent where even the lightning that tore apart the heavens became dim and lightless under this wave.
Zhang Jingfu couldn't tell when Li Ku began to prepare the 'hidden intent', nor could he tell if the power of Li Ku's wave was accumulated from the very beginning, or if it was just the instant of retaliation. However, regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, they were both terrifying enough, because the one he killed, in his eyes, was already an extremely terrifying person. He always admired Zhuang Kuoting. This person was cold and self-disciplined, turning all of his convictions into dedication, wholeheartedly loyal to that person, pure and powerful. However, it was precisely this type of person, under Li Ku's hands, that person couldn't even take a single move, his state of death just too miserable.
"Someone like you, why was he able to live until today?" Zhang Jingfu said as if he was talking to himself. The aura in the air also began to undergo a mysterious change.
The remaining golden radiance was intoxicating like twilight. It bore witness to the existence of a past expert. However, in the end, it still disappeared.
Li Ku walked towards the city gate tower. "Isn't it normal for someone like me to live until today? If even an expert like me can't survive in this ruthless age, then those who can survive are few and far between. "
"You believe yourself to be an expert?" Zhang Jingfu said.
"Could it be that you don't believe I am one?"
。
Zhang Jingfu released a light sigh, and then he laughed and said, "You are indeed one of the best in the present world, not much different from those universe immortals."
Li Ku said, "Even though I believe myself to be an expert, I still can't compare to those universe immortals. You don't need to flatter me, there is no way I will spare your life. "
Zhang Jingfu then released a sigh. "I am not saying this because I cherish my life, merely speaking what I believe to be the truth. Even though you, Li Ku, are powerful, you still can't influence my thoughts, right? "
"Then you also know that you are going to die? Since you clearly saw how Zhuang Kuoting died, if you have any last words, you can say them as much as you want. "
"Even though I have quite a few faults, I would never curse myself to die. If I say my last words, wouldn't that mean that I am definitely going to die?"
"Could it be that you believe you can win against me?"
"I don't believe I can win against you, but if I believe that I am definitely going to die, then even if I originally had a shred of hope, it would still be stripped away by fate. Even though I don't believe in fate, I have no choice but to admit that I am about to face an unavoidable battle of my fate. "
"Why didn't you run? In my opinion, you aren't all that loyal to that person. "
When Zhang Jingfu heard this question, he entered a long period of silence. Only when Li Ku was about to brandish the old flute did he say with a smile, "In my entire life, I have never fought against anyone. In my opinion, all disputes in this world can be settled with just a few words, so I won't attack. Li Ku, why don't you try to break it, the answer is right inside … "
Just like the murmurs of a Divine Domain cultivator, the city gate tower suddenly underwent a world-shaking transformation under an indescribable aura. The city gate tower that originally only had three floors became an enormous tower that reached into the heavens, unknown just how many floors it had. Li Ku keenly noticed that there was a woman's entire body statue at the very top. That woman's face couldn't be considered especially beautiful, but it was extremely charming, as if a single gaze from her was enough to satisfy the needs of all men.
"It's her." Li Ku suddenly understood. Without any hesitation, his sword slashed out, and then the enormous tower collapsed. That charming woman's entire body statue directly turned into powder.
The city gate tower, as well as that iron bucket of defensive power, also turned into nothingness.
