"Ah, ah, ah! You are going too far! "
Gáng Nian never expected his opponent to be so domineering. With a loud roar, he burned his blood essence without any hesitation!
He knew very well that he was no match for the mysterious person. Compared to having his cultivation crippled, the price of burning his blood essence was nothing.
Gáng Nian took out a golden saber from his interspatial ring. Countless saber beams slashed out with an overwhelming aura!
The saber beams met the sword beams head-on.
Pi Pi Pa Pa!
The saber beams and sword beams clashed!
Gáng Nian was a third-storey Dao Palace warrior after all. With him burning his blood essence, the aura produced by the saber beams exceeded Yi Yun's sword beams.
However, the difference in laws could not be made up for.
Yi Yun's sword beams were infused with Great Dao laws. In terms of nomological understanding, Gáng Nian, a Dao Palace realm warrior, was far inferior to Yi Yun.
"Boom!"
The saber beams and sword beams exploded together as energy surged wantonly. Gáng Nian retreated repeatedly, but with his last breath, he managed to block the sword beams!
He managed to block them!
Gáng Nian was delighted to have survived the desperate situation. He believed that as long as he could hold on for a moment, someone from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company would rush over to save him. After all, he was still of help to the Heaven Amplification Trading Company.
Just as this thought flashed through Gáng Nian's mind, he suddenly discovered a dark and lusterless gray sword beam hidden amidst the numerous golden sword beams. It was extremely fast and nearly untraceable.
"Ha!"
Gáng Nian roared as he slashed out once again with all his might!
As he had overdrafted his blood essence, the strike nearly touched his life essence. However, his efforts were not in vain. The final gray sword beam was shattered by Gáng Nian's strike!
Phew —
The explosive storm vanished as Gáng Nian stumbled down from the sky.
He was still holding his golden saber. His hair was disheveled and his face was pale, but he had survived.
To survive such a powerful strike, even though he had burned his blood essence, made the surrounding people look at him in a different light.
As expected of a third-storey Dao Palace, he was much stronger than Xiao Kelin.
Gong Yangnian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he had paid a hefty price, he was still satisfied with his performance. He shouted anxiously, "I don't care who you are. You are strong, but fighting and killing are not allowed in Jade Lustre City. If you violate this rule, you will be crippled of your cultivation or executed in public. Do you think you can ignore the rules of Jade Lustre City just because you are strong? Do you think you can ignore the rules of Jade Lustre City and start a massacre here? No matter how powerful you are, can you fight against the entire Jade Luster City alone? "
Gŭng Nian had deliberately exaggerated the law enforcement in Jade Luster City. It was true that a massacre in Jade Luster City would result in the arrest of the law enforcers, but the so-called law enforcers were formed jointly by the two major trading companies and the Seven Star Auction Company. Now that the Divine Secrets Trading Company had basically withdrawn, all that was left were the two other factions.
By saying that Yi Yun would go against the entire city, he was trying to scare Yi Yun. He was certain that Yi Yun was an outsider and did not know much about the situation in Jade Luster City. By doing so, he could buy himself some time.
Indeed, after Gŭng Nian said those words, the sand boat fell silent. The sword beams that claimed Yi Yun's life did not appear again.
Gŭng Nian heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the mysterious man was probably mindful of the rules of Jade Luster City and had preserved his cultivation level.
The surrounding people also began to analyze the situation. Advisor Yang stroked his mustache as he inferred the strength of the mysterious man.
He guessed that the mysterious man was someone Ji Shuiyan had chanced upon on her trip. He might have some ties with the Divine Secrets Trading Company, but it was not a deep one. That also meant that the person would not risk his life to help the Divine Secrets Trading Company. If he saw that things were not going his way, he would withdraw midway.
The mysterious man could instantly kill Xiao Kelin but not Gŭng Nian. Furthermore, he was mindful of the rules of Jade Luster City. That meant that his strength was equivalent to a fifth-storey Dao Palace.
This strength was definitely not bad in Jade Luster City, but it was not invincible. Ignoring the unfathomable Seven Star Auction Company, even their Heaven Amplification Trading Company had the ability to resist.
A few of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company's strategists were thinking of ways to make the mysterious man pay a terrible price. But at that moment, someone noticed something amiss.
"Look at Gŭng Nian. What's on his abdomen?"
The sudden statement caused everyone to cast their gazes at Gùng Nian. Among them, Gùng Nian's abdomen lit up with gray Dao patterns. These Dao patterns were extremely mystical. They were projected in the void and even revolved slowly.
"This … This …"
Only then did Gŭng Nian notice the changes in his abdomen. He was surprised to discover that the gray Dao patterns formed a wheel. There were faint phantoms of Demon Gods on the wheel, and in the middle of the wheel, it corresponded to his dantian!
How could he not know that the mysterious man had left a mark on his dantian?
Instantly, Gŭng Nian was scared out of his wits. He had already realized what would happen next.
"Wait … Wait! Senior, spare me! Ah — "
Gŭng Nian suddenly let out a tragic cry. Everyone watched helplessly as the black wheel suddenly glowed. Following that, the flesh and blood on Gŭng Nian's abdomen were ground to pieces by the black wheel!
Be it human or demon, once their bodies were ground to pieces, they would bleed profusely. The mixture of blood and flesh was disgusting.
But now, not a single drop of blood flowed out of Gŭng Nian's abdomen. It should be said that the moment the blood and flesh appeared, they were ground to nothingness by the black wheel.
It was true annihilation, leaving nothing behind!
Gŭng Nian watched this scene happen to his body with his own eyes. The horror and despair he felt were indescribable.
"Senior! Senior! "
He yelled frantically, but his abdomen, dantian, and Dao Palace had been completely obliterated by the destructive storm. Nothing was left behind.
Immediately following that, Gŭng Nian's entire body was sucked into the vortex formed by the black wheel. He was completely devoured.
The vortex lasted for a few seconds before slowly vanishing. When everything calmed down, it was as though nothing had happened.
People looked at the spot where Gŭng Nian had once stood. There was not a single trace of blood or torn clothes. The person had vanished into thin air under everyone's watchful eyes.
When warriors practiced martial arts, they were prepared to perish midway. However, no matter how tragic their deaths were, there would still be bits of flesh left behind. Even if they were eaten by Ancient Fey, there would still be bones left behind. Such a way of dying completely wiped away any trace of a person left in the world. It left people's scalps tingling. What sort of law was this?
People originally believed that Xiao Kelin was already in a terrible state. Having his cultivation crippled was a fate worse than death. But looking at Gŭng Nian, they realized that Xiao Kelin was still lucky. At the very least, even if he committed suicide, he would still be left with an intact corpse.
Instantly, people looked at the silent sand boat again and felt a chill run down their spines. No one said a word. The people from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company felt insecure. Advisor Yang, who was leading them, had a blue face.
He felt that he was an idiot for standing there.
Yet, he did not dare leave. The person in the sand boat was a malefic existence. Once he realized that he was trying to escape, he would vanquish him. It would be as easy as crushing a bug.
