Silver Frost Marquis let out a low growl, his voice like ancient ice grinding against itself, carrying a chill that froze the soul. "Burning Space World Lord! You slaughtered my race's Immortals and harmed our geniuses. Your crimes deserve death! This very place will be your grave!"
Nightmare Snake Marquis hissed shrilly. "A mere World Lord, relying on a little talent and a plant lifeform, dares to act so arrogantly! Today, I'll annihilate you completely and cast your soul into eternal torment! Die!"
The auras of the two Marquis-Level experts locked onto Lu Ming. The battle was about to erupt!
Facing the pressure of the two Marquis-Level experts, a cold glint blazed in Lu Ming's eyes.
"Kill me?"
He gave a cold laugh. Dark-red flames surged around him, instantly vaporizing the invading chill.
"You're not worthy!"
"Take this first!"
Before his words had even faded, Lu Ming shot forward. The Yan Kong Blade in his hand rang out, and a dark-red blade light instantly condensed to its utmost. Space around the blade began to twist and tear.
"Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash! Fourth Layer... Void Splitter!"
Ssshh—!
A dark-red blade arc, stretching across the starry sky, tore through the void. Wherever it passed, frozen star fragments silently vanished into nothingness, and even the extreme cold Domain was forcibly cleaved open, leaving a massive gap!
The Burning Space Power contained in the blade light was domineering beyond compare. Carrying the terrifying force to incinerate all things and tear through space, it slashed straight toward Nightmare Snake Marquis!
"Arrogant!"
Nightmare Snake Marquis's vertical pupils narrowed. Sensing the threat within the strike, he lashed out with his enormous tail. Dense, dark-green poisonous light gathered at its tip, divine power coiling around it. Space itself was corroded into blackened trails wherever it passed as it slammed toward the dark-red blade arc!
BOOM!!!!
The blade arc and the serpent's tail collided head-on!
The dark-red Burning Space Power and the dark-green corrosive poison light intertwined and annihilated each other in a frenzy!
In the next instant, under Silver Frost Marquis's disbelieving gaze, Nightmare Snake Marquis's massive body shuddered violently and let out a pained hiss. A wound deep enough to expose bone tore through the hard scales on his tail, spraying dark-gold divine blood. His enormous body flew backward uncontrollably, smashing through several frozen star fragments before he managed to steady himself!
In their first clash, Nightmare Snake Marquis had clearly fallen behind!
"Hmph!"
Nightmare Snake Marquis coiled up, his vertical pupils filled with fury and shock.
"As expected of the Burning Space World Lord, famed throughout the Yungu Star Belt! For a World Lord to wield such strength!"
Silver Frost Marquis's wolfish eyes were icy. He stepped up beside Nightmare Snake Marquis, his cold divine power locking onto Lu Ming. "But today, the two of us will fight together!"
"Even if you're a once-in-a-million-era genius of the Human Race, you'll still die!"
"Raaah!"
"Divine power, burn!!"
BOOM!!!!
Almost simultaneously, pillars of light erupted around both Marquis Immortals!
Icy-blue flames of divine power rose from Silver Frost Marquis's body. The surrounding chill surged several times over, and even space seemed on the verge of freezing completely!
Nightmare Snake Marquis was enveloped in dark-green poisonous flames. His hiss pierced the soul, and poisonous mist billowed out, staining the frozen starfield with an ominous hue!
Immortal Experts burning their divine power!
It was a sign that they were fighting for their lives, and meant their strength would multiply several times over in a short time!
The two Marquis-Level experts had started burning their divine bodies as soon as the battle began. Clearly, their hatred for Lu Ming had reached its peak. They were determined to kill him here and leave him no chance to escape!
The terrifying pressure of their burning divine power crashed toward Lu Ming like a tangible tsunami!
The two Marquis-Level experts' auras surged in an instant, reaching a heart-pounding level!
Lu Ming stood with his blade in hand, his expression turning utterly grave.
Facing two Marquis-Level experts who were burning their divine power, even he felt a pressure unlike any he had ever experienced.
Just as he readied himself to meet their attack—
BOOM!
An icy-blue blur flashed into view at a speed beyond perception!
"What! So fast!"
Lu Ming's pupils contracted.
Silver Frost Marquis had torn through space and appeared behind him!
His claws, wreathed in burning icy-blue divine flames and carrying the power to freeze time and space, slammed toward Lu Ming's back!
"Die!"
In the split second he had, Lu Ming could only turn and raise his blade to block.
BOOM!!!
Terrifying force traveled through the Yan Kong Blade. Lu Ming was blasted away like a shooting star, his right arm numb from gripping the blade.
But that wasn't all—
Almost the instant he was blasted away, Nightmare Snake Marquis, who had been waiting for this moment, bared his fangs!
"BOOM!"
His enormous tail, wreathed in burning dark-green poisonous flames, tore through the void with a terrifying aura that corroded all things and struck Lu Ming squarely in the back!
"Ugh—"
Lu Ming's throat turned sweet with blood. He was flung away in the opposite direction at even greater speed, the divine power shielding his body shuddering violently.
"Burning Space World Lord, die!"
The two Marquis-Level experts pressed their advantage, turning into streaks of blue and green light as they attacked from opposite directions!
Their burning divine power had driven their speed and strength to the limit. Their claws and fangs sealed off every possible avenue of escape!
Caught in this deadly predicament as he hurtled through the air, Lu Ming merely curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Good. Very good. Excellent!"
There was no panic in his eyes. If anything, he looked excited!
"Little Thunder!"
At the thought—
BOOM!!!!!!
Boundless purple-gold lightning erupted without warning!
Countless thick vines burst frantically out of the void. Each one was wrapped in terrifying lightning and life runes, radiating a fearsome aura that made even Marquis Immortals tremble!
It happened in an instant, too fast for them to react!
"What!"
"It's a plant lifeform, Thunderlight Vine!!"
Silver Frost Marquis and Nightmare Snake Marquis had barely cried out when the countless purple-gold vines, as if alive, precisely and violently coiled around their massive divine bodies, binding them tight!
"We can't move! How can it be this strong?!"
The two Marquis-Level experts struggled frantically. Their burning divine power erupted at full force, ice and poisonous mist raging, yet they couldn't budge the unyielding vines in the slightest!
Below, Lu Ming slowly raised one hand toward the two Marquis-Level experts bound fast. He clenched his fingers into a fist!
"Die!!"
Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft—!
Crack, crack, crack—!
The vines wrapped around the two Marquis-Level experts erupted with terrifying force, while endless lightning surged through them!
"Uaaagh—!"
Amid Silver Frost Marquis and Nightmare Snake Marquis's anguished screams, their enormous divine bodies were crushed and torn apart like fragile porcelain. Then they were swallowed completely by the raging lightning!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!
Blinding lightning devoured everything, turning the frozen starfield into a sea of thunder!
When the lightning had somewhat subsided, the two Marquis-Level experts struggled to re-form their divine bodies in the distance, but their auras had already weakened by more than half!
"One strike... it actually destroyed fifty percent of my divine body!"
Silver Frost Marquis's wolfish eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.
"Not good!"
Nightmare Snake Marquis's voice trembled.
"This plant lifeform is definitely at Pinnacle King-Level or stronger! Run!!"
The two Marquis-Level experts had no fight left in them. Burning what little divine power they had left, they prepared to tear through space and escape.
Lu Ming stood with his blade in hand, watching the two flee in panic, the cold smile on his lips growing more chilling.
"Run?"
"Think you can get away?"
