The Domain Lord of the First on the Bounty List, Ninth Tier

Whoosh!

Zhang Dong particleized and swiftly reached the spaceship, silently attaching himself to the inside of the cabin door.

Unless Shadow deliberately opened his domain and searched inch by inch, he would absolutely never detect it. Moreover, even if someone noticed a few extra streams of fine particles in the space, they would never associate it with a person.

In the original universe system, being able to particleize a divine body was a method only an Immortal possessed.

"This matter really troubled you, big brother." Shadow flattered as he followed behind, smiling as he said, "You helped me. No matter the final outcome, I won't forget it."

"Small matter." The blue-robed domain lord said softly, "All I can do for you is say a word. But whether it works depends on you. Your competitor this time isn't a small fry."

Hearing this, Shadow nodded with a grave expression, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

The two entered the spaceship one after the other and sat down on the comfortable seats, completely unaware that a terrifying assassin had already infiltrated the cabin space.

Competitor? Promotion?

Clearly, Shadow was aiming to climb higher. The place he and the blue-robed domain lord were heading to likely had realm lord-level experts present.

His current strength was only comparable to an ordinary first or second-stage realm lord.

Boom!

The spaceship accelerated, quickly leaving the military garrison and flying toward the northwest. Zhang Dong realized this was his perfect opportunity to strike.

As long as he made his move, both Shadow and the blue-robed domain lord would surely die.

After the spaceship flew for half an hour and was far from the military, Zhang Dong began to slowly undo his particleization.

Chi!

It was still that penetrating light condensed to the extreme, fast to an absurd degree. The spaceship's alarm system screamed frantically the instant the light appeared, but it was already too late.

The light streaked across, piercing Shadow's chest with pinpoint accuracy.

He didn't even have time to make any expression before the light in his eyes completely faded. This pole light, though only passing through his chest, annihilated all vitality from his entire body.

However, at that same instant, the blue-robed domain lord erupted with astonishing reflexes at the critical moment of life and death.

Almost by instinct, his body shifted sideways at an impossibly minute angle.

That fatal penetrating light grazed past his arm and finally slammed heavily into the spaceship's sturdy cabin wall.

Thud!

A massive hole was instantly torn open in the lower left corner of the spaceship.

Even more terrifying, the power contained in the light did not dissipate but instead spread wildly along the ship's structure. One second later, the entire spaceship was completely blasted to ashes.

"Such fast reflexes!" Zhang Dong's heart shook violently, inwardly lamenting the missed opportunity.

If it had been a frontal assault, with the domineering might of the Pole True Intent, he had many methods to make the opponent unable to dodge.

But this was an assassination, requiring stealth.

That was why Zhang Dong chose to attack in the form of penetrating light. Unfortunately, he had only grasped this power for too short a time, and his skill level was lacking.

No matter how talented a person was, without the tempering of blood and fire, it was difficult to use power to perfection.

If Zhang Dong had rich combat experience, both of these men would have dropped dead the moment he struck.

"Close call!" The blue-robed domain lord was also shaken. That hair's breadth difference—if his reaction hadn't been fast enough, even if he was confident he wouldn't die, he would certainly have been injured.

Zhang Dong didn't hesitate for a moment. He grabbed Shadow's corpse and accelerated to his limit to flee.

The target he needed to kill was already dead. There was no need to waste time with this blue-robed domain lord. He had only struck to kill Shadow just now, revealing little of his true strength.

"Killing someone and thinking you can leave?"

The blue-robed domain lord shouted coldly, "You really don't take me, Sky Light, seriously!"

As he spoke, his domain fully erupted!

Violent aura raged, and a dazzling domain of light burst forth. His blue robes were dyed a brilliant gold!

Within a radius of several hundred kilometers, the resplendent light was clearly visible, shining like a new sun over the mountains and rivers!

"Sky Light? The number one on the bounty list?" Zhang Dong's expression shifted.

A domain lord who could reach the top of the bounty list on the Dragon Rock Battlefield likely had strength comparable to an ordinary first-stage realm lord.

However, domain binding was completely useless against Zhang Dong.

He manipulated vast amounts of world force, easily dispersing the domain, and then took off at supersonic speed!

"It's going to be hard to shake him off."

Zhang Dong's brows furrowed tightly. Behind him, Sky Light pursued relentlessly, his speed not inferior at all.

On the Dragon Rock Battlefield, the domain lords worthy of Sky Light's attention could be counted on one hand. Zhang Dong had not only killed someone right in front of him but had also attacked Sky Light himself. Such provocation was absolutely intolerable to Sky Light.

Two streaks of light, one chasing and one fleeing, crossed tens of thousands of kilometers in a short time.

Zhang Dong's original plan was that once he escaped the other's line of sight, he would particleize his body and attach himself to flames, flowing water, or even the air.

That way, Sky Light would never be able to find him again.

However, the opponent's speed was truly astonishing, clinging tightly to him. If Zhang Dong unleashed his full speed without restraint, he could shake them off after some time, but dragging it out too long might attract reinforcements from other experts.

After all, this was their territory.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Dong made his decision.

Chi!

His high-speed fleeing figure abruptly halted, spinning around, a long blade already in his hand as he slashed fiercely at Sky Light.

The equipment and weapons he used had long possessed transcendent traits, capable of particleization as well.

With one slash, space spanning tens of kilometers was cleaved apart. Sky Light was terrified, hastily unleashing his strongest technique, wildly swinging his two great hammers to clash with the blade's radiance.

The blade's radiance easily sliced through his hammers, its residual force undiminished, following up to sever both his hands, blood spraying everywhere!

"Ah!!" Sky Light screamed in agony. "You're not a Domain Lord! You're actually a Realm Lord!"

This slash was utterly terrifying. Though it only cut off his hands, the residual force inflicted severe damage on his body.

But Sky Light reconsidered and found it wrong—Zhang Dong had no World Projection, meaning the opponent was likely just a Domain Lord. The Dragon Rock Battlefield actually had such a monstrous Domain Lord.

He didn't even think of the Ganwu Secret Realm's Highness; only cosmic-level beings came to carry out missions. He assumed his luck was simply terrible, encountering a Realm Lord here for an assassination.

"Still alive?" Zhang Dong was stunned. With a cold face, he swung his blade again, the blade light piercing through space and landing on Sky Light's neck.

He had already progressed quite quickly; that previous slash even carried a hint of secret technique.

But his combat experience was lacking, and his execution technique had issues.

Comprehension of the Dao and laws was merely talent; even with identical configurations, actual combat would differ.

In that very moment of battle, Zhang Dong suddenly grasped the point's penetration effect through space, but he didn't intend to test it here to see if he could traverse space.
