Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor narrowed his cold eyes, a glint of frost flashing through them. "Since the boy dares provoke me, his cultivation must have improved. But give me a hundred years to study the Finality Stele and reach the second level, and I'll kill him even if he attains a Perfected Dao Fruit!"
"Ancient Ancestor, then should we...?"
Ying Qianhun asked cautiously.
"Come. Let's see just how far he's come!"
With that, Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor set off with Ying Qianhun and Ying Ji. Before long, they found Lu Ren.
Seeing Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor arrive, Lu Ren gave a cold smile. "Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor. Been well? Ready to die?"
Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor studied Lu Ren with a sharp gaze. Realization dawned on his face, and he laughed. "No wonder you have the nerve to provoke me. You've reached the Late-Stage Nine-Step Supreme Realm. It seems the Ancestor of Myriad Immortals gave you quite the opportunity!"
"Then let's fight!"
Lu Ren said no more. With a turn of his wrist, the Chaos Ancient Sword appeared in his hand, its point aimed straight at Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor.
Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor clasped his hands behind his back. "Killing you here today would mean little. Why don't we set a date and return to the Righteous Path Arena? We'll swear by the Immortal Path Origin and fight to the death. I'll kill you before the eyes of everyone in the heavens!"
"Set a date? What date?"
Lu Ren scoffed.
"A hundred years from now."
Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor's tone remained mild.
"I can't wait that long."
Lu Ren slowly shook his head.
"Then when do you want to fight?"
Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor asked.
"Now!"
Lu Ren's voice turned cold.
"Now?"
A sharp light flashed in Crane Heaven
