Nothing More Than This!

"Brat! Who exactly are you, and what faction do you come from? Perhaps we can sit down and talk."

The Head Protector had his misgivings. Though he had never quite believed that a youth could possess such terrifying strength, he could not take the risk. If his opponent also had a background that reached the heavens, there would be no point fighting at all.

"You aren't qualified to know my name!" "Sword Breaks Heaven and Earth!" Di Chen could not be bothered to waste another word and attacked again. This was the second move of the Indestructible Sword Art!

As Di Chen thrust his sword, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi went wild, frantically converging upon him.

Crack! Space fractured, and endless power of heaven and earth surged down, forming a gigantic golden sword that cleaved forth with a terrifying presence capable of destroying heaven and earth.

This sword was formed from pure sword intent. Its might was terrifying, making the surrounding heaven and earth tremble. At that moment, Di Chen was like the sovereign of heaven and earth; his every word and action resonated with them.

This sword strike stunned the ages, draining heaven and earth of color and robbing the sun and moon of their light.

"What sword art is this?"

Everyone cried out in astonishment. This sword strike was so astounding that it seemed capable of cleaving the firmament apart.

"What a terrifying sword art! Damn it!" The Head Protector's pupils contracted sharply, and a trace of apprehension appeared on his face. This strike made him sense danger. Sweat covered his cheeks, and he dared not delay. Clenching his right hand into a fist, he punched out.

Boom!

The two attacks collided, erupting in dazzling light. Terrifying ripples of power swept outward, striking the surroundings and sending the distant spectators tumbling.

A ravine a hundred zhang long spread out, a shocking sight.

Di Chen stood there, his robes snapping and his black hair dancing wildly. On the other side, the Head Protector staggered back more than ten steps before coming to a halt.

"Hiss..." A chorus of sharp intakes of breath rose from the surroundings.

The Head Protector, a Sixth-Level Quasi-Emperor, had actually failed to withstand a single move from Di Chen.

Di Chen looked calm, as though he had barely exerted himself just now. He swept an indifferent glance over the Head Protector. "A Sixth-Level Quasi-Emperor, nothing more than this!" His tone was casual, as though he did not regard him at all.

Pfft... The Head Protector could not stop himself from coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He felt humiliated. A junior had scorned him, filling his heart with indignation and turning his eyes bloodshot. Unfortunately, that last move

had inflicted some backlash on him, unsettling his internal Qi and worsening his injuries. He was even less of a match for Di Chen now.

"Come to think of it!

"You old dogs have been taking turns coming up to court death, yet I haven't actually killed anyone so far! If a few people don't die, I'm afraid some of the spectators won't be pleased." Di Chen turned and gave Gu Li, who lay on the ground, a wicked smile.

"What are you trying to do?" the Head Protector roared, fierce in appearance but cowardly within.

"What do you think?"

Tap... tap... tap... Di Chen

walked toward Gu Li step by step. With every step, his presence climbed another notch.

The Head Protector's expression grew increasingly ugly, for Di Chen's killing aura was also growing stronger. His ominous premonition intensified, and his body began trembling uncontrollably.

At that moment, this presence also jolted Gu Li awake.

He opened his eyes with difficulty. Seeing Di Chen walking toward him, he immediately looked terrified and desperately shook his head. "No, don't kill me. I was wrong..." A cold gleam flashed through Di Chen's eyes. He flicked a finger, pointing through the air, and a thumb-sized bloody hole appeared in Gu Li's forehead. His entire body then went rigid, utterly motionless.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone around them.

"He actually killed a commander of the Domain Lord's Manor in public. Now he's completely torn away all pretense with the Domain Lord's Manor. They won't rest until one side is dead."

Everyone discussed it, but not a single person dared intervene. They all watched in silence.

After killing Gu Li, Di Chen turned to Li Yunxiao! "These are the helpers you're so proud of? Worthless trash! I'll make you watch the people of the Domain Lord's Manor die before your eyes, one by one." A cold smile lingered at the corner of Di Chen's lips, and he made no attempt to conceal his killing intent.

Li Yunxiao's heart pounded wildly. He felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. This fellow's gaze was terrifying, like a demon descending upon the world. But soon, he gritted his teeth and held firm again, because the Sword Sect's experts were about to arrive. This little bastard was certain to die.

The smile on Di Chen's lips grew increasingly mocking. "You don't seem very convinced. Very well, I'll show you what despair means."

"Brat, if you dare act recklessly again, the Domain Lord won't spare you!" At that moment, the Fourth Protector, one of the three protectors who had long since fled aside, shouted angrily, his eyes filled with venom and hatred.

"Oh? If you hadn't spoken, I would almost have forgotten you three old dogs!" Di Chen's lips curved slightly into a wicked smile.

Everyone looked at the Fourth Protector as though he were an idiot. Was he a fool? Could he not see that something was strange about the situation?

"Fourth! Fuck your mother! Nobody would mistake you for a mute if you kept your mouth shut!" the Head Protector roared, wishing he could strangle the Fourth Protector. But he knew this was not the time to dwell on that. Right now, he only wanted him to shut his mouth.

"Head Protector! What is there to fear? The Domain Lord might be watching from inside the great hall. If we four protectors join forces, this little bastard is certain to die!" The Fourth Protector kept prattling on, completely failing to understand what the Head Protector meant.

"Heh... How pathetic!" Di Chen said, shaking his head.

Hearing Di Chen's mockery, the Fourth Protector roared, "You're the pathetic one! You're about to die! Hahaha..."

Di Chen narrowed his eyes, revealing a glint of cold light.

Bang!

The next instant, Di Chen vanished from where he stood and lunged straight at the Fourth Protector.

"Argh!" The Fourth Protector screamed as intense pain shot through his chest. Looking down, he saw that a foot had already crushed his internal organs. Blood sprayed everywhere, and he fell onto his back.

The Fourth Protector was dead!

"Fourth!" the other two protectors cried mournfully.

Di Chen sneered, his entire body radiating a towering, murderous presence.

"Boring! Not one of you can put up a fight, yet you call yourselves the overlord of the Heavenly Moon Dao Domain? What a joke-you'd make people's teeth fall out from laughing!"

He slowly advanced toward the two remaining protectors. His murderous presence spread, making everyone feel as though they were suffocating.

"No... don't... don't kill us." The two protectors turned pale and began trembling all over.

"The factions of the Heavenly Moon Dao Domain have already sent experts to reinforce us. Killing us won't benefit you at all. Spare us! We'll pretend this never happened!"

Mockery surfaced in Di Chen's eyes. Were people like this even qualified to be protectors?

He could not be bothered to waste words. The longsword in his hand radiated a chilling cold.

"Enough! Junior! This ends here." A voice like a great bronze bell suddenly thundered through the air, reverberating in everyone's ears.

An imposing figure appeared, looking down upon Di Chen from above, naturally exuding the bearing of a monarch descending upon the mortal world. His eyes were boundlessly deep, like black holes. Staring into them felt as though one would fall inside, lose everything, and have one's soul sink into oblivion there.
