The plains' Imperial City was in a state of chaos. Countless warriors ran out from the plains, starting to treat the injured or search for the enemies they imagined.
However, the two experts who had caused all of this had disappeared a long time ago, and the black cracks in the sky also gradually shrank and disappeared.
Heizi left with Duan Tianhao using the Shadow Evasion Art. The two of them turned into shadows, darting through the shadows on the ground at high speed. In the blink of an eye, they left the Imperial City and arrived in the plains.
On the plains, under the moonlight, the shadows under each patch of grass became their best protective umbrella.
His eyes were filled with viciousness and evil thoughts. It was as if his previous bemoaning the state of the universe and loving life were all just a disguise.
In fact, this was the cultivation method of the Black Sun Sect's Black Sky Great Art. There were both light and dark intents in one's heart, cultivating with a benevolent heart and using viciousness to kill.
Therefore, although he usually appeared to be a good young man who loved nature, he would not care about anyone and would resort to unscrupulous means when it came to battle. He was like a devil from hell.
At the thought of how he had been forced back by a young man in his twenties despite having cultivated for over 1,000 years, he was infuriated.
'Damn it, to think that I failed miserably in such an easy task.
'Damn it, if it wasn't for the fact that I can't use my full power... '
Not being able to unleash tier six Divine level powers and thus being chased away by Fang Xingjian was what made Heizi feel the most aggrieved.
Duan Tianhao, who was only left with his upper body in his hands, appeared to be in an extremely miserable state. Fang Xingjian's sword Qis had not only torn apart his lower body, but they had also invaded his internal organs, crazily wiping out his life force.
If it was not because Heizi was helping him to suppress them, he would have died completely.
Despite this, his countenance was already pale, and he was covered in blood. It seemed like he was breathing in more than he was exhaling.
Despite this, his eyes were still filled with hatred as he glared in the direction of the Imperial City and bellowed indignantly, "Sir, why didn't you kill Fang Xingjian? With your abilities, you'll definitely be able to kill him if you go all out, right? Why did you hold back? Why did you spare his life? "
His voice was hoarse and filled with unwillingness, like the howl of a dying beast.
Upon hearing Duan Tianhao's words, Heizi frowned and said coldly, "What I do is none of your business."
He assessed inwardly, 'This Fang Xingjian's martial will is so strong that it far surpasses that of his peers at tier five of the Divine level. He must have had some fortuitous encounters. Putting aside the fact that ordinary tier five Divine level experts are no match for him, even we might be weaker than him in terms of martial will after experiencing the depletion of 1,000 years of our lifespans. "
Thinking of this, Heizi's gaze became even gloomier.
"Unless a few of us join forces or use the powers of tier six of the Divine level, even the six of us probably won't be able to kill this lad one-on-one."
"This continent actually gave birth to such a person? This prowess … He already has 30% of the Prince's disposition. "
Just as Heizi was halfway through his thoughts, his body suddenly paused, and he leaped out from the shadows. He casually tossed Duan Tianhao onto the ground and looked at the surroundings with a grim gaze.
The plains let out sizzling sounds under the gentle breeze, and the moonlight's illumination added a hint of coldness to the space before them.
Amidst Duan Tianhao's agonizing cries, Heizi said in a deep voice, "Fang Xingjian, I've already given you the plains. Are you still going to pursue me relentlessly? Do you really think that I'm afraid of you? "
As Heizi said this, Fang Xingjian's figure slowly appeared ten meters before the two of them. His back was facing Heizi, and his eyes were looking toward the bright moon in the sky. It was as if he did not care about Heizi at all.
Fang Xingjian said indifferently, "Leave Duan Tianhao behind and destroy this clone of yours, and I won't pursue this matter any further."
Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Heizi laughed out loud. His gaze toward Fang Xingjian was filled with condescension and contempt. It was as if he was looking at the ignorance of a native from the depths of the mountains.
"Fang Xingjian, you've won this round."
"But the next round …"
Just as Heizi was halfway through his sentence, his figure suddenly dissipated. Several tens of shadow blades had already slashed at Duan Tianhao's body.
Pffft pffft sounds rang out incessantly, and Duan Tianhao was instantly dismembered, turning into a pool of flesh and blood.
Up until the moment he died, his eyes were still filled with disbelief and indignation. It was as if he did not believe that he would die here.
Heizi had unleashed the last of his clone's powers to kill Duan Tianhao in order to prevent Duan Tianhao from divulging his secrets. Although they had set up restrictions in Duan Tianhao's brain, it was still the safest to kill him.
However, when the black aura dissipated and Heizi left completely, Duan Tianhao's corpse also disappeared. It was as if everything that had happened was just an illusion.
Duan Tianhao was the only one who knew that this was not an illusion. It was because he was still lying on the grass, covered in blood. He watched as Fang Xingjian walked toward him like a demon.
Duan Tianhao's death earlier was merely a result of Fang Xingjian's illusory arts. Since Heizi wanted to kill Duan Tianhao to silence him, Fang Xingjian naturally wanted to protect Duan Tianhao's life as well. He wanted to obtain information about the Quanji seven people from Duan Tianhao's mouth, such as their objective, their strength, and their condition.
Looking at Fang Xingjian's cold gaze, a hint of savageness appeared on Duan Tianhao's face. Suddenly, his entire body trembled, and waves of martial will seethed and collided to and fro in his body. His entire body started to shatter.
He wanted to activate his martial will to self-destruct and end his own life, unwilling to land in Fang Xingjian's hands.
'What a fiery temper.'
With a single thought from Fang Xingjian, streams of black sword marks encompassed Duan Tianhao's body in layers. His body, which had been trembling incessantly and was on the verge of exploding, gradually stabilized.
Duan Tianhao glared at Fang Xingjian and said in a bitter voice, "You can forget about getting any information from me."
"It's not up to you."
At the next moment, Duan Tianhao was completely engulfed by the sword marks and disappeared into void space.
…
In the plains' Imperial Capital, the entire Steel Lion Kingdom was in a state of chaos.
All sorts of maids, guards, and warriors from the plains were running around like headless flies. They had no idea what had happened at all.
In the depths of the palace, Prince Zuoxian was accompanying the new Azure Heaven King. He raised his head and looked at the battlefield in the sky earlier, his eyes filled with worry.
He had been subdued by Fang Xingjian previously and had been sent to the plains to take charge.
However, not long after he arrived at the plains, he had encountered Duan Tianhao and Heizi. After being easily subdued by Heizi, he had stayed in the palace.
