"You seem to look down on me?"

The Silver-haired Girl furrowed her delicate brows slightly, her tone somewhat icy.

She could not tell how strong Mo Xingtian was. Where did he get the confidence to mock her?

"A little girl like you—do you know what happens when you fall into the hands of my Dragon Demon Palace?!"

Even Mo Xingtian's dead-pool-like eyes were stunned by Luo Li's breathtaking beauty.

He did not quite understand. No matter how far the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had fallen, it should not have come to this.

To the point of sending this Silver-haired Girl all the way here to die.

Today, he happened to be here.

If it had been Demon Dragon Son or any other member of the Dragon Demon Palace, they would certainly have made Luo Li suffer humiliation before her death.

Of course.

Mo Xingtian was not saying that he was kind or merciful. He simply had no interest in wasting precious cultivation time tormenting his enemies.

Rather than torture them, it was better to kill them outright.

"Junior Sister, leave quickly! Have the academy send elders!"

Lin Zheng's eyes blazed as he roared at Mo Xingtian.

"You bastards from the Dragon Demon Palace, if you have the guts, kill me!"

He hated his own weakness.

If he had not been so weak, how could he have been imprisoned here and subjected to such humiliation?

What he could tolerate even less was watching a junior sister from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy who had come to rescue them get brutally killed by these Dragon Demon Palace scum!

Too many people knew how ruthless the Dragon Demon Palace was.

"Shut up!"

Mo Xingtian raised a hand, about to slap Lin Zheng and shut him up.

However, a heaven-shaking sword beam suddenly slashed toward him, forcing him to dodge instinctively.

"You're in the Heaven-reaching Realm?!"

Watching three cages get cut open by the sword beam, Mo Xingtian's face darkened as he looked at Luo Li with utter vigilance.

He had thought the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had no one left and had sent a little girl here to die.

Who would have thought that a casual strike from her sword would nearly injure him?

"Heaven-reaching Realm? This Junior Sister is actually in the Heaven-reaching Realm?!"

Lin Zheng, now free of his restraints, was equally shocked.

He racked his brains but could not match her to anyone in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Since when had a junior sister silently reached the Heaven-reaching Realm?

Even Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantu, and the others were only at the Late Transforming Heaven Realm.

Wait—his pupils suddenly contracted as he seemed to recall something.

Had Mo Xingtian not been demanding to know who had killed Demon Dragon Son?

Wasn't the answer obvious now?!

"So you were the one who killed Demon Dragon Son."

Mo Xingtian licked his lips. He did not need Luo Li's answer to guess who she was.

She was precisely the enemy whom Black Dragon Supreme had ordered killed at all costs.

As long as he dealt with her, he could return to claim his reward and enter seclusion.

The next time he emerged, he would surely reach the Sovereign Three Difficulties!

The Supreme Realm would no longer be far away!

"That's right."

Luo Li nodded and said coldly, "You'll be next!"

She held the Luo God Sword and pointed it at Mo Xingtian.

On the Northern Heavens Continent, he was considered among the very best of the younger generation.

But that had been before.

With Luo Li's arrival, Mo Xingtian was destined to fall!

So arrogant?

Lin Zheng froze for a moment before warning her, "Be careful. Mo Xingtian seems to have stepped into the Late Heaven-reaching Realm!"

Yes, only now that he had recovered did he realize Mo Xingtian had been concealing his strength all along.

There was a high chance that his true cultivation was at the Late Heaven-reaching Realm!

"You're mistaken, Senior Brother."

Luo Li shook her head and continued, "Mo Xingtian only has one foot in the Late Heaven-reaching Realm."

He was still some distance away from truly reaching the Late Heaven-reaching Realm.

She was a genuine Late Heaven-reaching Realm expert. How could she fail to see Mo Xingtian's true strength?

"??"

Even if he was not in the Late Heaven-reaching Realm, he was still terrifyingly strong.

Lin Zheng swallowed. Could this Junior Sister be even more terrifying?

But Demon Dragon Son had not even reached the Heaven-reaching Realm. Killing him did not mean she could contend with Mo Xingtian.

She should still listen to him and hurry back to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Sending elder-level Heaven-reaching Realm experts to battle Mo Xingtian and rescue them was the proper course of action.

"You've truly surprised me."

After having his strength seen through, Mo Xingtian's heart skipped a beat.

He maintained his outward composure and raised his right hand.

He brought two fingers together, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him surged violently, forming a beam of light dozens of meters long that shot toward Luo Li.

This was a test.

He wanted to see exactly what level Luo Li's strength was at.

If she exceeded his expectations and had reached the Late Heaven-reaching Realm,

then he could fight her for several hundred rounds before having the Dragon Demon Palace elders step in and execute her.

But if she was merely putting on a bluff, then he would not be sorry.

This strike would take her life!

"I'm not surprised."

Luo Li immediately slashed out with her sword, effortlessly splitting apart the dozens-of-meters-long pillar of spiritual energy.

Then, beneath Mo Xingtian's stunned gaze, she flashed several times through space and arrived directly before him.

The incomparably sharp Luo God Sword slashed down, vacuuming away all the spiritual energy in the surrounding world and making it impossible to draw upon.

"Damn it, you've angered me!"

Seeing that ordinary methods could not contend with such a terrifying divine weapon, Mo Xingtian reached out and clenched his hand.

Black light surged toward him, condensing into a pitch-black heavy spear in his palm.

The heavy spear was covered in black scales, while its spearhead took the form of a demonic dragon's snarling head, poised to bite savagely.

Its razor-sharp fangs formed the deadliest part of the heavy spear!

"Careful! That's the Dragon Demon Palace's Peerless Spiritual Artifact, the Devouring Dragon Demon Spear. Unless it's a spiritual artifact of the same grade, it'll be difficult to resist!"

Originally only at the Mid Heaven-reaching Realm, Mo Xingtian's combat strength had already risen to the terrifying Late Heaven-reaching Realm with the aid of the Peerless Spiritual Artifact, the Devouring Dragon Demon Spear.

Watching this unfold, Lin Zheng was incredibly nervous.

He was truly afraid he would see the sword in Luo Li's hand shattered by the Devouring Dragon Demon Spear.

If that happened, someone would really die!

Crack!

However.

The next moment, his mouth fell open, his face full of disbelief.

"H-How is that possible?!"

That was a Peerless Spiritual Artifact!

It had always been the one breaking other people's spiritual artifacts. How could it be broken by someone else today?!

"My Devouring Dragon Demon Spear!"

Mo Xingtian completely lost his composure.

He could no longer hold himself together and directly spat out a mouthful of thick blood.

The Peerless Spiritual Artifact, the Devouring Dragon Demon Spear, was deeply bound to him and could be considered his life-bound spiritual artifact.

When the Devouring Dragon Demon Spear was severed directly by the Luo God Sword, he naturally suffered an enormous backlash!

After vomiting that mouthful of thick blood, his entire aura weakened.

"You're quite bold. Don't you know Demon Dragon Son died the same way?"

Before Luo Li had even finished speaking, the Luo God Sword in her hand had already thrust toward Mo Xingtian's brow.

She was taking advantage of his weakness to claim his life!

"Impudent!"

Yet before she could pierce Mo Xingtian, a terrifying pressure descended.

The surrounding world froze completely, and space itself was directly sealed.

Even Luo Li's movements slowed.

What was even more terrifying was that a rift tore open in the heavens.

A pitch-black dragon claw several hundred meters long slowly extended from it, descending upon Luo Li with terrifying power capable of devouring heaven and earth!

When the Dragon Demon Palace's Supreme Realm expert realized that Mo Xingtian was no match for Luo Li and might even fall on the spot, he finally could not hold back and personally entered the battle!

The corners of Luo Li's lips rose slightly as an invisible ripple shattered the spatial seal.

Without hesitation, she continued forward!

The incomparably sharp Luo God Sword instantly pierced through Mo Xingtian's head!

"The person I want to kill, you can't stop!"

Mo Xingtian was dead!
