Tongtian shouted furiously, pressing his palm down through the air at the Two Western Saints.

This was the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Sword (Great Dao Divine Ability)!

As its name implied, this divine ability was specifically meant to sever the Great Dao!

In an instant, an incomparably massive sword of spiritual power slashed toward the Two Western Saints.

At that moment, all color drained from the Two Western Saints' faces.

Tongtian had actually learned such a formidable divine ability!

With no other choice, they could only place their hopes on their bell.

The Two Western Saints continuously changed their hand seals, pouring all their spiritual power into the great bell protecting them.

Boom!

The sword of spiritual power struck directly against the Two Western Saints' defensive bell.

The defensive measure in which the two Saints had placed such high hopes began to shatter before the might of the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Sword, unable to last even a second.

Bang!

The two great bells with their astonishing defenses exploded into countless fragments, scattering in every direction!

This left the Two Western Saints utterly dumbfounded.

They had spent an immensely long time refining those things, and they were their strongest defensive means!

Yet they could not withstand even an instant before being destroyed outright!

Just how powerful was Tongtian's divine ability?!

At that moment, the Two Western Saints were filled with boundless regret. Why had they provoked such a God of Slaughter in the first place?!

If Yuanshi had not threatened them back then, they would be the ones watching the show now.

At the thought of this, the Two Western Saints' hearts were filled with bitterness.

Seeing the Two Western Saints' defenses shattered in a single stroke by the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Sword, Tongtian showed no particular expression. A Great Dao Divine Ability truly lived up to its name!

Whoosh!

Tongtian made a grasping motion with both hands, intending to unleash the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Sword once more.

The Two Western Saints no longer possessed any defensive means. With one slash of the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Sword, perhaps even a portion of the Great Dao origin of the two of them would be severed.

At the sight of this terrifying scene, the Two Western Saints were so frightened they nearly collapsed.

Without the slightest hesitation, they knelt directly before Tongtian. If they took another strike, even if they did not die, they would lose half their lives.

"Brother Tongtian, be magnanimous and spare us!"

"We have fully realized our mistakes! Stop fighting, please stop!"

Zhunti and Jieyin hurriedly began to beg for mercy.

At that moment, Tongtian's face remained expressionless as he turned his gaze toward Yuanshi, who was still struggling bitterly against the sword formation.

Yuanshi's face was also filled with shock. Was this a divine ability Tongtian had only just learned?

Yuanshi noticed Tongtian looking at him as well, and could only shout angrily, "Enough already! You've really been able to endure!"

Jieyin and Zhunti had already begged for mercy, while he himself was trapped tightly within the sword formation. There was simply nothing he could do to Tongtian.

Seeing all three of them raise the white flag, Tongtian's expression was like ice that had endured ten thousand years. He looked coldly at them and said, "Do you think this is over?"

Hearing Tongtian's words, their expressions turned miserable, and their hearts trembled with unease.

Was Tongtian planning not to let the matter rest?

They could not understand what Tongtian meant.

With a smile plastered across his face, Jieyin asked uneasily, "Brother Tongtian, if you have any other demands, please name them!"

Tongtian sneered inwardly. Heh, this Jieyin was quite sensible.

"It is possible to let today's matter end here."

"Yuanshi, hand over the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag!"

"As for you Two Western Saints, hand over the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner as well!"

"Give me the two banners, and I will spare you this time!"

The Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag and the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner?

Both banners were supreme treasures. If all five could be gathered, they would become even more formidable.

It was not that they could not give them to him, but there were still so many pairs of eyes watching in secret!

If they simply handed over their treasures, would they have any face left?

But if they refused to hand them over, they would not be able to leave today either!

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation alone was already impossible for them to break.

Yuanshi valued his reputation above all else. He did not care much about the treasures, but for the Two Western Saints, having their treasures taken away would be enough to make their hearts ache for an entire year!

They were already poor as dirt in the west. The treasure the two of them had obtained only after exhausting every ounce of effort—how could he be willing to give it up just like that?

Though it was only an Innate Spiritual Treasure, its defensive power was truly exceptional.

If it had been some other Innate Spiritual Treasure, Jieyin might have gritted his teeth and handed it over. But this one was different!

Such formidable defensive power was meant to save one's life. Jieyin was unwilling ten thousand times over.

"Senior Brother Jieyin!"

Zhunti looked at Jieyin with eyes full of hope.

Jieyin ignored him and looked reluctantly toward Tongtian. "Brother Tongtian, asking me to hand over such a precious treasure—the price you demand is too steep, isn't it?"

"I can replace it with several Houtian Spiritual Treasures. How about three?"

Heh, were Houtian Spiritual Treasures supposed to be a joke?

Tongtian sneered inwardly. Houtian Spiritual Treasures—did Jieyin think he was fooling a child?

He merely wanted to gather all the Five Element Flags and form a formation with astonishing defensive power.

"Are you still not clear on the situation?"

Tongtian did not want to waste another word on Jieyin. Without teaching him a lesson, he would never hand it over.

Whoosh!

Tongtian directly controlled the God-Slaying Spear with his Primordial Spirit. Instantly, the spear erupted with towering demonic flames, its tip stabbing straight toward Jieyin.

At the sight, Jieyin's face went pale as he retreated!

But how could the God-Slaying Spear be so easily avoided?

The God-Slaying Spear had already slashed across Jieyin's abdomen, leaving a horrifying wound on his body.

"I'll give you one last chance! Hand over the flag, or die?"

Tongtian spoke in an icy tone.

Though Jieyin's face was full of fury, he no longer dared say another word. Gritting his teeth, he flung the Treasure Color Flag directly to Tongtian.

Even Zhunti, watching from behind, felt as though his heart were bleeding.

This was a treasure with extraordinarily powerful defenses!

With it, one effectively had half another life!

Tongtian beckoned to the Treasure Color Flag and stored it directly within his Purple Mansion.

After obtaining the Azure Lotus Treasure Color Flag, Tongtian turned his gaze toward Yuanshi.

The Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag was still on him, and he had yet to hand it over.

But Yuanshi was not quite as reluctant to part with the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag. He was simply furious—if he casually handed over his treasure today, where would he put his face?

Tongtian was lower than me in seniority, and his cultivation was lower than mine as well, yet I can do nothing to him!

At that thought, Yuanshi's face burned even hotter!

Yuanshi gave a cold snort, his face full of unwillingness, and flicked his palm.

He directly hurled the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag at Tongtian's face.

Unfortunately, Tongtian merely made a slight gesture and caught it.
