Not One of These Saints Was Easy to Deal With

Just as Lu Feng thought of this, the system chimed!

[Host, you can earn generous rewards by changing the course of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation!]

Lu Feng froze for a moment.

This was the first time the system had given him such an explicit hint.

But since even the system had said so, he would certainly have to work harder.

Meanwhile, in the Primordial World.

Several glowing gates began appearing throughout the Primordial World.

Feeling the pull from within the gates, Duobao and the others could not help approaching them.

Though they were in different locations.

Duobao and the others chose to enter the Secret Realm at the same time.

They were certain this was another of their Senior Brother's means, perhaps a fortuitous opportunity prepared especially for them!

Meanwhile, deep within Chaos.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi had already exchanged hundreds of blows with Tongtian.

Simply watching Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's attacks, Jieyin and Zhunti could not resist making snide remarks.

"I thought Senior Brother Yuanshi had stepped in to teach his younger brother a lesson. Who knew every move he made would be a killing blow!"

"Who knows? Perhaps Senior Brother Yuanshi is showing respect for his opponent?"

"That's true. After all, if he couldn't beat his own junior brother, wouldn't he lose every last shred of face?"

Jieyin and Zhunti's back-and-forth made Taishang Laozi frown.

He wanted to say something, but those two had already said everything, so he could only compose himself and continue watching the fight.

Nuwa could not be bothered to listen to anything Jieyin and Zhunti were saying.

Battles between Saints were not easy to come by.

It was better to keep her eyes fixed on the fight.

Yuanshi raised his hand, the Pangu Banner fluttering behind him.

In truth, Tongtian had not fought for a very long time.

The Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand hummed.

Faced with Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's overwhelming might, Tongtian did not retreat in the slightest. Even his expression remained unchanged.

He merely raised his hand at an unhurried pace.

In an instant, a streak of Silver Light tore across the heavens, then cleaved straight through the void!

At the sight of this strike, brimming with saint power.

Even Taishang Laozi and the others could not help narrowing their eyes.

Jieyin even chuckled at the sight.

"I told you, Senior Brother Tongtian's strength is far greater than what we see on the surface."

"The outcome of this battle between brothers is looking uncertain!"

Taishang Laozi naturally knew Jieyin had deliberately said that for his benefit.

In truth, he could not help clenching his fists now either.

They had not fought for a long time.

So long that Taishang Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi had nearly forgotten that Tongtian's aptitude far surpassed both of theirs.

The sheer might Tongtian displayed now was already enough to prove there was even more to him.

If things truly continued this way, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi might well be defeated!

After all, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi was putting his full strength into every strike.

Yet Tongtian merely gave a casual swing.

Between the two lay a gulf as vast as a heavenly chasm!

The battle continued.

Tongtian soon clashed with Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi again.

Their attacks collided in the void, and the immense force that erupted instantly shattered the entire stretch of space.

Feeling the pressure emanating from Tongtian.

Yuanshi had no choice but to bring out his Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

The Jade Ruyi shone all over with Three-Colored Light, then, under Yuanshi's direction, attacked Tongtian from behind.

Seeing Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi do this, even Jieyin and Zhunti, the most shameless of all, felt ready to bow before his superiority.

"How underhanded!"

"He actually launched a sneak attack!"

"It seems Senior Brother Tongtian was absolutely right earlier. With Yuanshi taking first place in shamelessness, who among us would dare contend with him?"

"If you ask me, Senior Brother Tongtian really is nothing like the rest of the Mystic Gate."

"They say when the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam goes askew. Who knew rotten bamboo could produce a fine shoot!"

"..."

Taishang Laozi's expression was rather unpleasant now as well.

Who could stay in a good mood with someone standing beside them, hurling roundabout insults at them?

What did they mean, when the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam goes askew?

What did they mean, rotten bamboo producing a fine shoot?

Who were they insulting???

But Jieyin and Zhunti clearly had no such awareness.

They continued taking turns commenting on the battle.

Their words simply were not very pleasant.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield.

Tongtian naturally noticed Yuanshi's sneak attack as well.

In truth, he understood Yuanshi's temperament quite well.

Since he could not win head-on, he would naturally resort to underhanded tricks.

But before absolute strength, such a sneak attack was nothing to fear.

Still, Tongtian felt rather chilled at heart.

He and Yuanshi had come from the same lineage.

Yet Yuanshi could go this far. Had he ever truly regarded Tongtian as his brother?

At this point, Tongtian no longer intended to hold back, and immediately put away the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Compared with the Immortal Slaying Sword, the Qingping Sword was much more natural for Tongtian to wield.

It was his innate treasure.

Under Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's stunned gaze, Tongtian swiftly unleashed several streaks of sword light.

They not only shattered the three streaks of clear light Yuanshi had sent at him, but also attacked Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi from thirty-six directions!

At the same time, an enormous Azure Lotus appeared behind Tongtian.

This Azure Lotus was of the highest grade, the thirty-sixth grade.

Each tier bore sword intent of the utmost power.

Now that sword intent transformed into thirty-six attacks against Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, naturally catching him completely off guard.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi wanted to protect himself with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

But he had still underestimated Tongtian's strength.

The thirty-six streaks of sword light swiftly sliced through Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's clothes, and golden saint blood dripped steadily from his body.

This battle between Tongtian and Laozi was watched not only by the Saints, but also by the many mighty figures of the Primordial World.

Tongtian had always been the sort who neither fought nor competed for anything.

This had led everyone to form a mistaken impression of him.

Now, seeing Tongtian draw blood from Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi as soon as he struck.

Zhen Yuanzi was so shocked that he dropped the teacup in his hand on the spot.

"How is that possible?"

Tongtian had actually defeated Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi by his own strength?

As far as he knew, Tongtian should have ranked at the very bottom of the Mystic Gate.

Yet Tongtian's display this time had left him utterly stunned.

The outcome was simply too unexpected.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Sensing Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's aura weakening.

Haotian narrowed his eyes as well.

After observing for so long, he had already recognized that the other aura belonged to Tongtian.

Now, seeing that Tongtian had actually defeated Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.

Haotian was not particularly surprised. Instead, he felt it was only natural.

Presumably, Tongtian was the chief reason the Interception Sect had undergone such tremendous changes.

In the Netherworld.

Within Reincarnation.

A woman's voice also rang out softly.

"It seems this Tongtian truly is no ordinary figure."

"Just as I thought, not one of these Saints is easy to deal with!"
