The Night Emperor was both shocked and furious.
He had watched Yu Huatian's entire battle against the Five Elements Ancestor and the others, and already knew that Yu Huatian's strength could not be judged by his cultivation realm.
Yet he had still underestimated Yu Huatian.
Still less had he expected Yu Huatian's temperament to be so fierce-or rather, so domineering!
At a single disagreement, he had drawn his sword.

It was annihilated outright, not shattered!
Then the destructive sword light fell upon the Night Emperor.

He knew he had still underestimated this strike!
He desperately brought every martial foundation he had accumulated
