The atmosphere was oppressive, and the surrounding wilderness was deathly silent.
No one could calm their hearts for a long while.
Before Ping Gu died, she had been disdainful and arrogant. Even when her body and soul were shattered by the killing blow, she still carried herself as though she stood above all others.
This was not stupidity. Throughout all ages, the Eternal Abyss had never once been breached!
It was like ordinary mortals in the secular world, who simply could not believe the heavens might collapse, much less that they themselves would be crushed to death when they did.
That was why Ping Gu had been so fearless.
That was why, when she was slapped to death, those Eternal figures present had lost their composure and been so utterly shaken.
"It seems we might be in danger."
Luo Bating held three feet of Sword Qi in his hand and spoke softly.
"Scared?"
Huo Yunhu sneered. "How about I cut off one of your arms right now, and you admit defeat and leave? Don't worry, I guarantee I'll give you the chance to surrender."
He had not forgotten Luo Bating's earlier sneak attack.
According to the rules of the Battle of Dao Attainment, this was indeed possible. If one's skills fell short, one could voluntarily admit defeat. So long as one's opponent agreed, one could leave the Five Elements Dao Platform.
Otherwise, one could only fight to the bitter end.
"If you want to kill Su Yi, then work together in good faith instead of hating one another as you do now!"
Song Jue's face was ashen.
Ping Gu's death had dealt him an enormous blow. Now, when facing Su Yi again, his state of mind was completely different.
"I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll lose a Great Dao Avatar."
