The entire Lanhuang City was shrouded in the One Thought Universe, and outsiders could not see what was happening at all.
" Lanhuang City is about to descend into chaos----"
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
Others were unaware of what had happened, but Lu Qingshan, through his Eye of Wisdom, was still able to detect some fluctuations in energy during the battle.
The five Eternal True God who besieged the swordsman, along with the two Giant Whale Legion, were no match for him even when they joined forces.
This really proves the saying true: don't investigate too thoroughly, or things will get complicated if you find something suspicious.
During this process.
The first to fall were the two Giant Whale Legion.
They are an important source of military strength for Lanhuang City. Although their combat power is comparable to that of Eternal True God, they are not true Eternal True God after all. Their speed is too slow, and if attacked by that swordsman, they will have no ability to resist.
Immediately afterwards.
The five Eternal True God were also defeated one by one, with three dead and two wounded.
It can be said that almost all of Lanhuang City's high-end combat forces have been wiped out here at this moment.
If someone hadn't intervened at the last minute, neither of them would have escaped. Both are Eternal True God, but the difference between them is simply outrageous.
"Waste!!"
Baili Rentu raised his hand and blocked the swordsman's attack. Looking at the Eternal True God who had fallen because of him, there was not a trace of pity in his eyes.
"I never imagined these people were backed by you, Baili Rentu! No wonder these guys went berserk, biting everyone they saw, and they almost bit me!"
The swordsman stood proudly in the void and spoke calmly.
" The Swordsman Wuming!"
A hint of seriousness flashed in Baili Rentu's eyes, clearly indicating that he had also recognized the other party.
"I never imagined you'd be hiding in Lanhuang City."
"Hahaha." The Swordsman Wuming laughed a few times, "What, isn't your Baili Family subordinate to the Great Sage Litian? When did you become the dog of the Great Sage Lishui?"
Baili Rentu naturally knew why the other party was there.
Swordsman Wuming was a very famous Eternal True God from Lishui Chaos Prefecture Litian Chaos Prefecture, which was next to Litian Chaos State. However, he was arrogant. In Lishui Chaos Prefecture, he committed a crime and killed one of the offspring of the Great Sage Lishui. Afterwards, he was wanted by Lishui Chaos Prefecture and disappeared. Unexpectedly, he was hiding in the small city of Lanhuang City.
Not being in a Chaos Prefecture, and disguising himself as Void True God, even the Great Sage Lishui would find it difficult to locate him.
I never expected that, by sheer coincidence, I would run into it.
" Swordsman Wuming, I have no intention of fighting you. Hand over that item, and I'll let you go!"
"That's what Baili Rentu said coldly."
"No intention of fighting me? I see you know you're no match for me, right? And what do you want me to hand over? What are you worthy of?"
The Swordsman Wuming remained as arrogant as ever.
"That blade you bought from the Tianmu Chamber of Commerce, I kept it there. Hand it over, and I won't make things difficult for you—"
It was already quite strange that an Eternal True God was lurking in such a small place as Lanhuang City. Baili Rentu was certain that the thing had been bought by Wuming in disguise.
After all, apart from the Wuming, even ordinary Eternal True God couldn't produce that much Cosmic Sand.
For example, none of the people in Lanhuang City, except for the city lord, could produce 60,000 units of Cosmic Sand.
"So this is what you're looking for, haha, it's right here with me. Go ahead and snatch it from me if you dare!"
The Swordsman Wuming sneered, then cleaved through the Space Lock void with a single sword strike, heading towards the wilderness outside the city.
He had no idea what kind of blades they were.
But he did not deny it.
Baili Rentu disrupted his peaceful life, exposed his identity, and might put him in danger of being hunted down by the Chaos Great Sage. Naturally, he wanted to retaliate against him.
You can't escape!
Baili Rentu snorted coldly and unleashed a sword strike. A sword light that stretched for hundreds of millions of kilometers tore through the wasteland, enveloping the Swordsman Wuming in an instant.
"I gave you a chance. Since you won't cooperate, then I'll kill you and present your head to the Great Sage Lishui!"
"Baili brat, is that all the tricks you have? Don't be delusional!"
He suddenly turned around and slashed with his sword. The crimson sword light erupted like flames, transforming into a colossal beast that swallowed the incoming blade light whole. After swallowing it, the beast's phantom appeared even more ferocious and turned towards Baili Rentu.
Baili Rentu's expression remained unchanged.
He swung his War Blade again, and as the War Blade danced, layers of space in front of him formed a giant shield.
Boom!!!
The two forces collided, and a large area of the surrounding wasteland was instantly wiped out. Whether it was mountains or slopes, almost all the protruding places were leveled.
The two continued their fierce battle.
They fought from the sky to the ground, and then back again, their battle techniques becoming increasingly ferocious. Both sides were incredibly powerful, and neither relied on divine bodies to fight; instead, they used formidable secret techniques and exquisite ultimate moves. Clearly, their comprehension was exceptional.
"I never imagined that I would witness a battle between two Eternal True God, no weaker than Qu Guang, outside the small Lanhuang City. The heroes of the world should not be underestimated!"
Qu Guang is ranked among the top ten inner disciples of the Flame Ruins Sect.
Although they were only inner disciples, not direct disciples, it was still God King Sect, while these two were just hanging around in the Chaos Prefecture.
Lu Qingshan and Chi You stood on the wilderness, watching the battle.
"That short man is quite strong. His swordsmanship is completely integrated with the Destruction Origin, and his understanding of the Destruction Origin has reached an extremely deep level. However, it's a pity that he still can't compare to Master. Master's sword strike contained the essence of the Great Dao of Destruction."
While praising the Baili Rentu, Chi You didn't forget to flatter his own master.
"That Gray Robe swordsman is also quite good—his swordsmanship is exquisite, and he doesn't seem to be using his full strength. He must have mastered the techniques of the Chaos Realm."
Lu Qingshan looked at the swordsman with a hint of admiration.
Immediately, the Eye of Wisdom above his brow lit up slightly.
His gaze pierced through the battlefield, finally landing on Baili Rentu. From a jade pendant storage device at Baili Rentu's waist, a familiar aura emanated.
The aura seemed similar to that of the blades he had purchased after visiting the Tianmu Chamber of Commerce.
"He also had fragments of that razor blade on him?"
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is normal.
It's very likely that the other party also knew this blade was unusual and was collecting it, which is why they came to Lanhuang City.
"Master, should we take action and eliminate him?"
A glint of fighting spirit flashed in Chi You's eyes.
Both of these Eternal True God are very powerful and are extremely rare opponents.
"No rush—let them finish fighting first, ideally until they're both severely injured."
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
If we were to take action now, we would need to eliminate both of them, but Lu Qingshan's target was only Baili Rentu.
The battle in the wilderness continues.
The Swordsman Wuming, was attacking with increasing force, and it seemed the battle was nearing its end.
However, at this very moment...
A blue jade pendant appeared in Baili Rentu's hand at some unknown time.
The jade pendant was activated, suddenly bursting forth with a blue light that shot towards the swordsman.
The swordsman's expression changed slightly as he raised his sword to parry. However, the power of the blue beam of light exceeded his expectations. He was blasted backward, and dense cracks appeared on his sword. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were disheveled, making him look extremely pathetic.
"I never expected you to have this trump card!"
The swordsman's gaze turned cold.
"I'll remember you, Baili Family family. Your family better never be discovered by me."
After saying that, his figure transformed into a blurry phantom, like a shadow merging into the night, and disappeared in an instant.
" The Space Origin —I never expected this guy would hide a move until the very end—"
Baili Rentu looked in the direction where the other person had disappeared, his expression changing slightly.
The escape of the Swordsman Wuming was, to him, tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains—that guy was a madman who dared to kill even the son of the Chaos Great Sage, so there was probably nothing he wouldn't dare to do.
However, the Great Sage Lishui will probably find out about this guy's appearance soon, and he will face pursuit again. He probably won't do anything to my Baili Family for the time being.
However, the blade was on his body—
Baili Rentu's face was extremely ugly.
It would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, for the Baili Family alone to snatch the blade back from the Swordsman Wuming. If Wuming were killed by Great Sage Lishui Great Sage Lishui, the blade would fall into his hands.
If the Great Sage Lishui were to discover the secret of that blade, things might turn around—
He placed his hand on the jade pendant at his waist.
"I've studied this thing for countless centuries without any discoveries. It seems destined to be out of my reach, and might even become a calamity for me. This time, when I return to Litian City, I will offer it to the Great Sage Litian. If the Great Sage Litian knows that the blade is on the swordsman, he will surely hunt him down. I want to see how arrogant this guy can still be when two Chaos Great Sage are chasing him."
Knowing that the task was futile, Baili Rentu quickly changed his mind and offered the treasure to Great Sage Litian, who would surely benefit from it, and the Baili Family would also receive protection.
However, just as he made his decision and was about to turn and leave...
Abrupt.
A massive black Giant Axe cleaved down from his side.
Baili Rentu reacted extremely quickly, dodging the blow and narrowly avoiding being hit head-on. However, the axe still left a deep, bone-revealing wound on his waist.
He turned his head and saw a burly, honest-looking figure standing not far from him, holding Giant Axe. Those bloodshot eyes looked at him, filled with icy killing intent.
"Who are you!"
Baili Rentu's expression changed.
He could feel his injuries spreading and the pain intensifying.
His body had already suffered considerable damage from the previous battle with the swordsman, and this axe blow just now injured him again.
Chi You did not reply.
His figure drew closer again, and the Giant Axe in his hand cleaved down once more. Baili Rentu, holding his War Blade, resisted, but was suppressed and forced to retreat in the face of Chi You's attack.
His body was covered in hideous wounds, from which blood gushed out.
Who are you?!
"Baili Rentu roared."
However, what awaited him was still Chi You's axe.
The more Baili Rentu fought, the more terrified he became.
He was the strongest member of the Baili Family, Eternal True God Tenth Stage, and had mastered the techniques of the Chaos Realm. Even in the entire Litian Chaos Prefecture, he was a well-known expert among Eternal True God. Not to mention the swordsman he had encountered before, who was at least on par with him in Lishui Chaos Prefecture, he didn't recognize this burly man at all.
The opponent's axe strikes appeared chaotic, yet each move carried a powerful Destruction Origin, regardless of the technique.
Even the most exquisite techniques can be easily neutralized by the opponent's axe.
The greatest truths are the simplest.
For some reason, these words came to mind for Baili Rentu.
In an instant, the two sides had exchanged countless blows. Although Chi You had firmly suppressed Baili Rentu, he could not kill him in a short time without using the ultimate move of the World Beast.
At that moment, Lu Qingshan spoke.
"Enough!"
Upon hearing this, Chi You swung his axe and immediately retreated to the side.
Although they were communicating telepathically, Baili Rentu clearly sensed something. After resisting Chi You's attack, he immediately turned around—
However, it was too late.
A gray blade of light arrived in front of him almost the instant he turned around.
The speed was so fast that it seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space.
He didn't even sense the slightest fluctuation.
"Pfft!!"
With a single stroke, all things Return to the Ruins.
Baili Rentu frozen in place. He could see that his body had been cleaved in two by a single strike, and his armor seemed to offer no protection whatsoever.
"What... what is this...?"
Baili Rentu could only utter these few words; his eyes were filled with confusion, but soon, the confusion turned into gloom.
His True God Heart was instantly annihilated by that terrifying power as his divine body was cleaved apart.
Even until his death, he didn't know what had happened or who had attacked him.
Apart from this burly man, he couldn't find anyone else who had attacked him.
Lu Qingshan only appeared after Baili Rentu had completely perished.
He glanced at the Baili Rentu's waist.
Without needing his prompting, Chi You stepped forward and took off the jade pendant.
One must be cautious on the Origin Continent, as no one knows what tricks the enemy has up their sleeve, making Chi You the most suitable person to do this.
The World Beast King, as it grows up, is inherently skilled in causal curse killing, so its causal nature is weak.
As for the corpse of Baili Rentu, it would naturally not be spared.
The corpse of the Eternal True God Limit was of considerable help to Chi You's evolution.
Chi You swallowed it whole and slowly digested it.
Back in their cave in Lanhuang City, they began to take stock of their spoils.
The most crucial piece was naturally the rotten blade; he found another one in Baili Rentu's storage jade pendant.
This piece is about the same size as the one he obtained before, and it is also covered in rust. Clearly, Baili Rentu has not yet discovered its secret.
Although the secret is unknown, the other party must know that this thing is very valuable.
However, he had already been killed, so it was impossible for him to ask any more questions.
Besides the blades, there were also 180,000 tons of Cosmic Sand and mountains of Chaos Crystal.
A divine War Blade at the Eternal True God Level, a trench coat—and other miscellaneous treasures, all added together, are worth approximately 300,000 Cosmic Sand.
For most Eternal True God, this is an incredibly extravagant fortune, but for Baili Rentu, this...
The savings were relatively small, after all, there wasn't even a decent Mechanical Flow Treasure.
After tallying the spoils, Lu Qingshan gave a portion to Chi You, then said, " Chi You, go and fetch Yan Shuo."
