Not only was this fellow extraordinarily gifted, his methods were ruthless as well.
It was obvious that the person who had launched the sneak attack was Nanmen Tianhong's backup—or rather, one of his Death Warriors.
"Nanmen Tianhong, I, Qingmu Xuan, will remember what happened today beyond the Nine Provinces Domain," Qingmu Xuan said angrily.
Nanmen Tianhong smiled without speaking, neither denying nor admitting it.
Although Yue Yi had killed the ambusher, he still retained some rationality.
Rather than fighting Nanmen Tianhong to the death, he hugged the corpse on the ground and wept bitterly.
Nanmen Tianhong turned to Xu Zimo and said, "Leave behind a name. In a few years, once my cultivation is complete, I'll come find you for another match."
"My whereabouts are unpredictable. Even if I gave you my name, you still wouldn't be able to find me.
"Besides, I have no desire to fight one of my defeated opponents again," Xu Zimo said, shaking his head.
"When the day of Heavenly Mandate arrives, we shall fight again. I hope your luck holds."
"I'll remember you," Nanmen Tianhong said, giving Xu Zimo a deep look before turning and leaving.
Many of the people nearby followed Nanmen Tianhong and ascended the Cloud Ascending Steps with him.
Qingmu Xuan also glanced at Xu Zimo and said calmly, "The elders of our Nine Provinces Immortal Palace will handle this matter."
"Tell your elders to come find me if they dare. So what if the Azure Sun Emperor were still alive?" Xu Zimo said with a light laugh.
"What shameless boasting." Qingmu Xuan glanced at Xu Zimo, muttered unhappily, then turned and left with the woman beside her.
"The Holy Maiden of the Nine Provinces Immortal Palace doesn't have much tolerance either," Xu Zimo said, shaking his head at Mo Thirteen.
