"Heavenly Palace, Martial Saint Fancang!"
After learning the purpose of the Martial Saint Fancang's visit, The Hermit and Tower's expressions turned extremely ugly.
"Sir, aren't you looking down on us too much?"
The Hermit said coldly, killing intent fully exposed.
As core members of the Tarot Society, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Sir, leave now and no one will be hurt. Otherwise, you may die here."
Tower rose angrily, yet did not attack directly. He shared The Hermit's thoughts and wanted to persuade the Martial Saint Fancang to leave.
The Magician beside them could no longer hold on. His aura was growing weaker and weaker, and he needed to return to the Tarot Society for treatment as soon as possible.
"One is at the third level of the Saint Realm and has only just touched upon the Space Law. The other is at the second level of the Saint Realm, with nothing special about him."
"With strength like that, do you even have the right to threaten me?"
The Martial Saint Fancang shook his head disdainfully.
"You!"
The Hermit was utterly shocked upon hearing this. He could not understand how the Martial Saint Fancang had seen through the fact that he had touched upon the Space Law.
Moreover, from the Martial Saint Fancang's tone, he seemed utterly disdainful of The Hermit's newly acquired grasp of the Space Law.
This was the Space Law, not some ordinary law. It was what he took pride in, and what had allowed him to soar in a single leap and become the Tarot Society's Hermit.
"Who exactly are you, and why are you targeting us?"
"The three of us are merely three of the Tarot Society's core members. The Tarot Society has twenty-two core members in total, including Martial God Realm experts."
The Hermit struggled to calm the shock in his heart, trying to use this to make the Martial Saint Fancang leave.
Martial Gods were Blue Star's most powerful combatants. They possessed terrifying strength, enough to overturn a small nation.
"But you are not Martial Gods."
The Martial Saint Fancang slowly shook his head, then looked toward the Magician.
"My flames contain the Law of Fire. Unless a Martial God has mastered the Law of Fire or a law that restrains it, they cannot dispel them."
"With me here, you cannot leave."
"So it was you!"
Only after hearing the Martial Saint Fancang's words did The Hermit and Tower realize that the culprit behind the Magician's agony was the Martial Saint Fancang before them.
Rage burned in their hearts, but the blazing flames around them made them afraid to make any unnecessary moves.
The flames had surrounded an area several kilometers wide.
Those blazing flames made them feel a deep threat.
These were flames capable of burning them.
"The Hermit, aren't you done yet?"
Tower was anxious beyond measure. He had been waiting for The Hermit to complete the teleportation passage out of here. The pressure the Martial Saint Fancang brought him was simply too great.
Yet The Hermit beside him had not moved at all, leaving him at a loss.
"Showing off the Space Law before me? Laughable."
At that moment, the Martial Saint Fancang spoke contemptuously from above. He then pointed a finger, and a crisp cracking sound rang out.
Behind The Hermit and Tower, space shattered like a mirror.
The Hermit spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at the Martial Saint Fancang in disbelief.
"Why is your Space Law so powerful?!"
He had secretly been using the Space Law to create an escape passage. He had never expected the Martial Saint Fancang to shatter it just as it was about to be completed.
Laws were the prerequisite for Martial Gods to tread a higher path. Those who could comprehend laws while still at the Martial Saint level were exceedingly rare.
The Hermit had never imagined that the Space Law he took such pride in would completely fail before the Martial Saint Fancang.
"You need not know that."
"Your time of death has arrived. Fire Dragon Formation!"
With a sweep of his hand, the Martial Saint Fancang transformed the flames surrounding the three Tarot Society members into fiery dragons that charged toward them.
"You were stalling for time. Why wouldn't I be doing the same? To catch you all in one net still required some effort."
The Martial Saint Fancang looked coldly at the three members of the Tarot Society.
He had not attacked earlier because he had been waiting for his formation to be completed.
He had absolute confidence in his ability to kill the three Tarot Society members, but he could not be certain whether they still possessed other trump cards. Using the Fire Dragon Formation was the most reliable choice.
Below, The Hermit and Tower struggled to resist under the Fire Dragon Formation, while the Magician beside them was already burning with flames.
"Magician!"
The Hermit and Tower, having noticed this, wanted to rescue him, but the incessantly attacking fire dragons left them hard-pressed to defend themselves.
"The time is about right."
Seeing that the moment had ripened, the Martial Saint Fancang continuously gathered his power, flames around him soaring into the heavens.
Under his guidance, the fire dragons within the formation continuously converged into an enormous fire dragon thousands of meters long. Waves of dragon roars erupted from its mouth.
This sight stunned The Hermit and Tower. When had they ever seen such a terrifying technique?
"Go!"
Amid their shock, the enormous fire dragon turned around and plunged toward them.
"Tower!"
"Don't hesitate any longer!"
The Hermit shouted at the sight.
If this terrifying fire dragon struck them, they would undoubtedly die.
"I know!"
"Rise for me!"
Tower roared furiously. The armor encasing his entire body instantly expanded, transforming into a tower that enveloped all three of them.
"The Hermit, use this time, hurry!!"
Tower let out a hoarse roar. The instant the armor on his body turned into a giant tower, signs of decay appeared across his body, and his aura rapidly withered.
This defense was being sustained by his life force.
In an instant, the fire dragon collided with the giant tower. The terrifying force flattened everything within dozens of kilometers.
The giant tower turned red-hot beneath the fire dragon's scorching flames, faintly showing signs of melting.
Seeing this, The Hermit hurriedly took out a compass and continuously poured his Space Law into it.
"What about the Magician?"
Looking at the Magician, whose body was still burning with flames, The Hermit asked aloud.
"We can't care about him anymore. Let's leave first."
Tower's voice had become extremely hoarse, and his body was burning hot. He was using his life to prolong the tower's duration.
Under The Hermit's rapid manipulation, a Space Tunnel appeared before them.
"Get in, quickly!"
Seeing that the Space Tunnel had opened, The Hermit hurriedly shouted.
But when he turned back, he discovered that flames had already ignited on Tower's body.
"Tower!"
The Hermit could not believe that Tower was still being scorched by the flames even under the giant tower's protection.
With no time to think, he rushed to Tower's side, lifted him up, and ran toward the Space Tunnel. Scorching flames were burning his body.
As he passed the Magician, The Hermit still wanted to take him with them.
Crack, boom!
But before he could make a move, the tower protecting them shattered with a deafening crash, and the enormous fire dragon swallowed them in an instant.
At the moment they were swallowed by the fire dragon and about to perish, The Hermit used his Space Law to teleport himself and Tower before the Space Tunnel, allowing them to escape successfully.
The Magician, who could not be saved, turned to ash just like that.
"They escaped, seriously wounded?"
"I didn't expect them to possess such a treasure."
The Martial Saint Fancang felt some regret. He had thought he could eliminate all three Tarot Society members this time, but he had still underestimated the Tarot Society's foundation.
"The Magician is confirmed dead. The Hermit and Tower escaped with serious injuries. Without the aid of supreme treasures, they should not even think of making another move for the next few years."
"Let us return and report to the Heavenly Lord."
Then, a Space Tunnel leading to the Small World unfolded, and the Martial Saint Fancang stepped inside.
Not long after the Martial Saint Fancang left, two figures flew here at tremendous speed.
Seeing that everything within dozens of kilometers below had been razed to the ground, the two were greatly shocked.
"A Martial Saint fought here with all his strength. It seems to have ended with one side defeated."
"Report this matter!"
