The Great Sage Equal to Heaven Was Here
As expected, Yuan Yi immediately paid the price for underestimating Sun Qi.
Sun Qi held nothing back. He raised his hand and struck with all his might, the terrifying force crashing into Yuan Yi's arm.
The blow broke his arm clean off. By the time Yuan Yi reacted, his arm had long since parted ways with him.
"My arm!"
Yuan Yi's face turned ashen as he retreated rapidly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
I was careless this time!
He had thought his opponent was just an ordinary Dou Wang, but once they exchanged blows, he discovered that the man before him possessed such tremendous strength.
After losing an arm, Yuan Yi immediately grew serious, his expression becoming extremely grave.
"Sir, I wonder what grudge you have against my Eight Gates. Why not tell me? I will certainly give you a satisfactory answer."
He didn't want to back down, but he had no choice.
Two Dou Wang experts had arrived today, and the one before him could actually kill enemies above his level. His strength was terrifying.
As for the little purple-haired girl, she too was beating Yuan Yi's subordinates into submission.
He had already lost an arm. If he didn't back down now, he might truly meet his end here!
Even if he survived, the Eight Gates would suffer a grievous blow.
"Do you know Han Feng?"
Hearing Sun Qi's question, Yuan Yi rejoiced. There was still a chance!
"Yes, yes! Sir, do you have a grudge against Han Feng? I know where his residence is. I can take you there right now!"
Sun Qi shook his head. "There's no need. He was already dead before I came here. Now I'm sending you to join him in death."
With that, Sun Qi raised his cudgel and charged at Yuan Yi with another strike.
How could Yuan Yi not understand now? His opponent had come for his life!
"I already gave you a chance. Since you insist on making an enemy of my Eight Gates, then at worst, the fish will die and the net will tear!"
With that, Yuan Yi beat his wings and shot high into the sky.
The difference between a Dou Emperor and a Dou Wang was that a Dou Huang expert could call upon the power of heaven and earth for his own use, but a Dou Wang could not.
After quickly putting distance between himself and Sun Qi, Yuan Yi halted high in the air and raised his only remaining hand.
"Eight Sweep Palm!" As his words fell, the spiritual Qi around them rapidly gathered around Yuan Yi.
The terrifying power even caused the entire city to tremble for a time.
Seeing this, Sun Qi's lips curved into a smile.
He held his cudgel upright in one hand, then swung it fiercely at Yuan Yi in the sky.
Seeing Sun Qi swing his cudgel while standing in place, Yuan Yi sneered. "Where did this fool come from?"
But he soon sensed that something was wrong. The golden cudgel was clearly far away from him, so why was it getting... closer and closer...!?
Yuan Yi was dumbstruck as he watched the cudgel grow as wide as a person.
How could this cudgel extend and grow bigger!?
Before he could dodge, the cudgel had already borne down on him. Once again, he had made the same mistake as before.
Boom!!
Sun Qi's cudgel sent Yuan Yi flying into the distant mountains. The terrifying force smashed straight through the mountainside, sending countless boulders tumbling down and burying Yuan Yi alive.
Sun Qi used his Fiery Golden Eyes to look, and after confirming that Yuan Yi was still alive, he charged straight toward the mountain.
Just as he was about to crash into it, a white light erupted from within, followed by eight palm prints, each thirty feet across, blasting out one after another, aimed straight at Sun Qi's face.
But Sun Qi didn't dodge. Instead, he charged straight into them.
Lying inside the mountain, Yuan Yi had smiled in triumph when he saw Sun Qi fall for his trap.
But the next sight froze his smile on his face forever.
Sun Qi was wearing armor of some unknown brand. He took Yuan Yi's ultimate trump card head-on and came away completely unscathed.
He didn't even suffer a scratch. His speed was affected, slowing him down a little, but it still couldn't stop him.
Yuan Yi's eyes went wide as he tried to flee, but Sun Qi was already behind him, bringing his cudgel straight down on his forehead.
Thud!!
This melon was guaranteed ripe.
Watermelon juice splattered all over the cave, leaving only a headless corpse.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Hunt down Han Feng!] [Reward obtained: Thousand-Li Tracking Technique.] [With this technique, as long as any trace of the target's presence remains within a thousand li, they can be tracked down.] [Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Kill one of the Black-Corner Region's ten strongest experts!] [Reward obtained: Great Clone Universally Beneficial Divine Technique!] [A cloning technique. Pull out a single hair from your body at will, and it can take the host's form and possess half the host's strength.]
Two techniques appeared in Sun Qi's mind, and a faint golden light shone in his eyes.
He casually plucked a hair from his body, placed it on his palm, and gently blew on it.
The hair drifted on the breeze and, the moment it left his hand, transformed into Sun Qi's likeness.
Sun Qi walked a circle around the clone and discovered that its presence and cultivation realm were exactly the same as his own.
But hadn't the system said the clone had only half his strength?
Sun Qi was puzzled. Then, with a thought, he made the clone formed from his hair raise the Golden Cudgel in its hand.
It smashed the cudgel fiercely into the mountainside beside Yuan Yi.
Sure enough, its power really was only half of Sun Qi's.
"So its cultivation realm is fake. I didn't expect this clone to be so lifelike that it even fooled me!"
Just then, he suddenly remembered that Zi Yan seemed to still be at the Eight Gates. He had been so focused on chasing Yuan Yi that, looking back now, he realized he had traveled dozens of li away from the Eight Gates.
Sun Qi grabbed Yuan Yi's headless corpse with one hand, turned, and flew toward the Eight Gates.
At that moment, inside the Eight Gates.
Zi Yan killed a Dou Ling with one punch.
"Damn it, is this little girl really human? How can she be so strong?!"
"There are dozens of us Dou Ling and a Dou Wang, and we still can't beat her!"
Most infuriating of all, the little girl's stamina seemed limitless, as though it would never run out.
Of the ten Dou Ling, five had already been beaten to death, and the remaining few were utterly exhausted.
Just as everyone was wondering why their sect master had yet to deal with the other Dou Wang, their sect master descended from the sky.
His headless corpse slammed onto the floor of the Eight Gates.
Everyone stared at the fat, headless corpse, failing to recognize it at first.
"Your sect master is dead. If you don't surrender now, you'll be next!"
Only then did everyone notice that the headless corpse was wearing none other than their sect master's clothes.
"What?! The sect master is dead!"
"How is that possible? The sect master was a Dou Huang expert! How could he have been killed by a Dou Wang?!"
Hearing the clamor and cries of astonishment below, Sun Qi wasted no words. He raised his cudgel and swung it straight at the Dou Wang at their head.
Before the Dou Wang could react, Sun Qi's cudgel embedded him in the floor tiles.
Boom!
The Eight Gates fell silent in an instant. Now they had no choice but to accept that their sect master was dead.
Sun Qi then raised a hand and hung Yuan Yi's headless corpse at the entrance to the Eight Gates, and wrote eight large characters.
"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was here!"
