The blinding light gradually dissipated, and a figure appeared in the air.
It was none other than the Ninth Servant.
One of his arms had been blasted to pieces. Sword will seemed to have pierced through his body, staining his robes with blood.
His face looked rather pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth as well.
But his eyes were still frighteningly deep, emanating a frightening coldness.
Was this the gift that Ye Futian had prepared for him?
It was a sword that he had carefully prepared. When the sword pierced through, it not only shattered his right arm, but it also contained terrifying space-shattering powers that tore him to pieces. Furthermore, the sword will had indeed made its way into his body, but he had used his extremely powerful might to suppress it, preventing his body from being destroyed.
At that moment, he was gravely injured.
He looked forward and saw a woman dressed in white, who looked as young as a young girl, standing there. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and dazzling sword will curled around her. It was as if she herself was made of swordsmanship.
He had not expected to be so gravely injured, and he had been injured right after stepping foot into Qianye City.
While Xing Kai's death pained him, it was not unjust.
He had been watching over Xing Kai's cultivation all these years. There was no need to doubt Xing Kai's talent and temperament when it came to cultivation. However, he still lacked some sort of spirit, as Xing Kai had never truly encountered despair or a true crisis of death.
Ye Futian, however, had that spirit. After knowing that the two of them were mortal enemies, he did not hesitate to issue a life-and-death challenge and fight at the Crimson River. At the same time, he had set up such a killing move waiting for him in Qianye City.
He knew how to wipe out threats, and he would do whatever it took to get rid of enemies who were already a threat to him. Compared to Ye Futian, Xing Kai was still lacking, and it was not just in terms of talent.
Furthermore, aside from the Holiness of Nirvanas from the nine tribes who had been forced to submit, there were also several Holiness of Nirvanas who were willing to protect him and fight for him.
This was something that Xing Kai did not have, just like the woman in white before him. She should have known very well how dangerous it was to try to kill him.
But she did it without hesitation, and at that moment, she lashed out a second time.
Sword matrixes of the great path surrounded her, and she stood in the middle of them. She streaked through the air in an instant, and the spinning matrixes sucked in endless flashes of the sword until they became one, turning into a single sword and lashing out at him.
Her eyes were cold and resolute, without a trace of hesitation. It was as if she only had one goal in mind, and that was to kill him here and now.
This sword was extremely fast, piercing through the void in the time it took for a thought.
However, the Ninth Servant's reaction was just as quick. The moment the sword light flashed, he took a small step forward. It was only a small step, but a terrifying force of tremors appeared around him. A shocking storm of tremors appeared around him. It was as if no power could get close to him.
The sword-lights were shattered, and only the dazzling sword in the middle continued to stab forward.
The Ninth Servant lifted his left arm and seemed to have turned into a blur. His speed was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Clang!
The sword arrived. The Ninth Servant extended his arm and stabbed out with his finger, which landed right on the tip of the sword.
The dazzling light of the sword turned into a terrifying hurricane of swordsmanship, sweeping out. The sword matrix wanted to break through the restraints and enter the Ninth Servant's body. But at that moment, Yaya felt as if the Ninth Servant was the master of the place, standing there. The power of his finger was imbued with the might of the great path.
Bang, bang, bang … The sword matrix crumbled in a frenzy, and Yaya's sword was shattered as well. She grunted, and her body seemed to be on the verge of shattering. She retreated, using the power of the tremors to leave the battlefield in an instant, flying far away.
She spat up a mouthful of blood as she retreated, and her face was pale.
She knew that even if she had been at the pinnacle of her plane all those years ago, she would have been no match for the Ninth Servant in a head-on fight.
This was a being who was said to have half a foot in the Renhuang plane.
One of his arms was destroyed, and he was severely injured, but he did not even frown. He simply raised his left arm to fight back.
However, she was not the only one fighting.
The Ninth Servant sensed terrifying pressure coming from above the very moment Yaya retreated.
The Ninth Servant looked up and saw the Star Plucking Saint throwing a punch down from the sky. It seemed as if there were meteors falling from the sky when that punch was thrown. The Ninth Servant was able to feel the terrifying power of the attack from it.
He had fought the Star Plucking Saint before. If he had been at his peak, the Star Plucking Saint would have been no match for him, and would have been forced to flee.
However, the Star Plucking Saint was still very powerful, especially when it came to attacking. It seemed as if he was bringing all the stars in the sky with him when he attacked.
The Star Plucking Saint's body transformed into the Starry Battle Form. His entire body shone brilliantly, and his fist will became even more terrifying. It seemed as if it was going to shatter the sky.
The Ninth Servant took a step forward, and his body went against the flow. Instead of dodging, he met the Star Plucking Saint's attack head-on.
He extended his left arm and grabbed at the air. A huge palm print appeared in the sky, seemingly about to crush all the stars in the sky. The starry sky shook.
"Boom!" The Star Plucking Saint's attack came down right away, piercing through it. However, the Ninth Servant's arm trembled at that very moment. It seemed as if countless palm prints were conjured, one after another, lashing out against the flow.
However, the layers of arms continued to be pierced and destroyed. The Star Plucking Saint continued to move downwards, and it looked like he was about to reach the Ninth Servant.
The Ninth Servant lashed out with his left arm for the last time. The thousands of palm prints of the great path seemed to have merged into one. Terrifying might of the great path pierced through all the stars in the sky, causing them to explode and shatter one after another.
However, the Star Plucking Saint's punch came down at the same time. Everything where the two of them clashed exploded and was destroyed in a frenzy. The Ninth Servant's body was thrown downwards.
Wu Yong and the other four clan leaders of the nine tribes, as well as Shen Tianzhan, were all Holiness of Nirvanas. They were all prepared, and there was no way they would have missed out on such an opportunity. They did not even need to speak, and they were able to work in tandem with each other.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Sword lashed out, streaking through the air, imbued with unparalleled Divine Fire of the Vermilion Bird.
Wu Yong transformed into the Zhonglou Battle Form and lashed out with palm prints of the great path, burning the sky.
The two clan leaders of the Beili Clan and Nanli Clan, as well as Shen Tianzhan, lashed out at the same time. Terrifying flames of the Way devoured the sky in that very instant. All of them were Holiness of Nirvanas, but at that very moment, all of them lashed out at the Ninth Servant.
The spectators looked at the battlefield from afar. Only saints dared to watch the battle, but even saints felt their hearts racing.
A battle of such a level was extremely rare, and they would not have been able to see it on a normal day.
The Ninth Servant, the City Lord of Ancient Imperial City, was surrounded by Holiness of Nirvanas of Qianye City, who wanted to take down the number one City Lord outside of Crimson Dragon City.
Terrifying attacks buried the sky where the Ninth Servant was. All they heard were muffled sounds, and they were unable to see the Ninth Servant.
Their hearts continued to race. Would the Ninth Servant be killed in Qianye City?
Even though Ye Futian had planned this battle, the Ninth Servant had underestimated his enemy and was overconfident. He had too much faith in his own powers. Of course, he was indeed powerful.
It was just that he had not expected his enemy to hit him with a sword matrix as soon as he arrived.
"Huh?"
At this moment, they felt an invisible force descend upon them. This force caused their blood to boil and their hearts to pound non-stop.
An extremely intense sense of danger descended upon them. It was as if the entire place was shrouded in formless might of the great path.
"It's the Ninth Servant. Get back." The spectators from afar retreated in a frenzy. Even though they were very far away from the battlefield, they still retreated in a frenzy.
If they were to get close to that power, they would have been killed right there and then.
"Watch out," the Star Plucking Saint said. The Star Plucking Saint said. A rumble was heard at the very next moment, and all the attacks around the Ninth Servant were shattered. A terrifying storm swept through the place, shaking the sky. Terrifying shockwaves rained down on the Holiness of Nirvanas of Qianye City, destroying everything in their path.
They felt as if their very souls were about to be shattered. Their blood roared and churned, and the aura within their bodies shook violently.
Grunts were heard as their bodies were sent flying. Many spectators from afar spat up blood right there and then. They were hit hard.
The Ninth Servant appeared there. His body seemed to have become one with the heavenly path. Formless storms pressed down on their surroundings.
However, the Star Plucking Saint attacked again from above, heading straight for the Ninth Servant. The Ninth Servant was already severely injured, yet he was still able to unleash such power. He must have been feeling pretty bad himself.
Yan Yuan and the others moved forward at the same time, continuing to attack from afar.
However, the Ninth Servant took a step forward, and another storm swept through the place. He raised his left hand and blasted at the Star Plucking Saint, stopping him in his tracks.
"Bang." The Ninth Servant took another step forward. Everyone's hearts raced, and they all stopped. The Ninth Servant took that one step and traversed the air, walking out of the encirclement and heading far away.
It was apparent that he did not intend to continue fighting. Instead, he wanted to leave the battlefield. Even though he was able to injure those Holiness of Nirvanas, they were not easy to kill. If he continued to stay and fight, the consequences would be unpredictable.
It was very likely that he would die right there and then.
Everyone wanted to give chase, but the Star Plucking Saint said, "Let him go."
The others stopped as soon as he said that. The Star Plucking Saint looked at the Ninth Servant leaving and spat up a mouthful of blood. The crimson liquid fell to the ground, but he continued to move forward. His silhouette gradually blurred.
The Star Plucking Saint knew very well that the Ninth Servant was severely injured, or he would not have left.
However, even though he was severely injured, if they were to give chase and try to kill that Holiness of Nirvana, at least half of them would have died there.
Their strongest attack had been that sword. That sword and the subsequent attacks had not been able to kill the Ninth Servant. It would have been very difficult for them to kill him.
It was a pity.
However, the battle had been fruitful. The Ninth Servant had been severely injured, and it would have taken time for him to recover. Furthermore, the Ninth Servant would have understood after this battle that Qianye City had the power to shake him, and he would not have acted so easily again.
