Fated by the Heavenly Dao, Beyond Anyone's Power to Defy

"Very well, very well, what a fine unfair statement, hahaha... Boy, do you really think you can kill this old man?" After hearing Yang Jian's words, a mocking expression flashed across the old man's face.

"Sorry, just because I can't kill you doesn't mean I can't deal with you!" Yang Jian said calmly upon hearing this.

Yang Jian's expression immediately darkened, and he instantly activated the power of the Black and Yellow Pagoda within his body. The next moment, a crimson beam of light shot out from the ninth level of the Black and Yellow Pagoda and enveloped the old man in black.

"Not good!" Upon sensing the terrifying energy contained within the crimson beam of light, the old man in black was immediately shocked, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes. He clearly hadn't expected Yang Jian to possess such a terrifying treasure.

"You little beast, how dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you hurt me?" the old man in black roared upon seeing this.

"Enough with the nonsense, prepare to die!" Yang Jian said coldly, completely ignoring the old man in black. The crimson beam in his hand instantly enveloped the old man in black.

"Pfft..."

The next moment, after a muffled groan, the black-clad old man's body turned into a cloud of blood mist and vanished completely.

"Phew! Finally, I've dealt with that old devil. I hope those old bastards won't disappoint me." Yang Jian took a deep breath, then sat down cross-legged to begin recovering his depleted internal energy.

At the same time, Yang Jian couldn't help but think to himself.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The next second, four old men dressed in white robes appeared in the void, and all four looked down into the cave abode below.

Soon, the four elders also noticed the scene inside the cave abode. Upon seeing Yang Jian in the center of the cave abode, one of the elders immediately snorted coldly, a chilling murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He coldly said, "You little beast, I didn't expect you to dare kill my disciple. You're dead."

"Hmph, not bad, you little beast. I didn't expect you to dare kill my brother. Let's see where you run this time." Another old man on the other side sneered, looking gloating.

"Yang Jian, don't be afraid. I have some pills here. If you take them, they should help you recover a lot of your cultivation." At this moment, the Azure Dragon's voice suddenly came from Yang Jian's sea of consciousness.

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing the Azure Dragon's voice, Yang Jian immediately understood and took out a pill from his Storage Ring, swallowed it, and began to circulate his Cultivation Method to absorb the medicinal effects of the pill.

"Hehehe, you little bastard, you're dead! I have a few Jade Slip. Hand them over to me, and I'll spare your life!" The old man in black said directly to Yang Jian upon seeing this.

"Oh? Is that so? Too bad you're not in a position to negotiate with me!" Yang Jian smiled slightly upon seeing this, then with a flick of his right hand, a palm-sized Jade Slip instantly appeared in front of the old man in black.

"What? This... this is impossible! How could you possibly know that I have Jade Slip?" The old man in black couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw what Yang Jian had taken out.

"Hehe, sorry, your situation is completely out of your control now!"

Seeing this, Yang Jian sneered, then flicked his finger, shooting the arrow directly into the black-clad old man's brow.

"Huh? How is this possible? What's going on? What did you do, you little beast?" The old man in black's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, his face showing utter shock and his eyes flashing with fear, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Hehe, this is my unique technique. No matter what method you use, you can't escape. Just enjoy it!" Yang Jian said coldly upon seeing this.

"Damn it, what kind of secret technique is this? How can it be so powerful? No wonder I couldn't find you at all!" The old man in black's face also turned extremely ugly.

He was the Artifact Refining Sect. Although weapon refiners were of great help in weapon refining, he did not have the same formidable talent as the grandmasters of the Artifact Refining Sect, and he did not pay special attention to this issue when refining weapons.

But now that his mind was much clearer, he easily perceived the characteristics of the secret technique Yang Jian was using.

"Nothing special. My secret technique is one I created myself. But you don't need to worry. Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Yang Jian said calmly upon seeing this.

His words immediately terrified the old man in black, whose face turned extremely pale and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Don't do anything reckless! Our Artifact Refining Sect is not to be trifled with!" the old man in black quickly said.

"The Artifact Refining Sect is not to be trifled with? Your Artifact Refining Sect is indeed very powerful, but I, Yang Jian, am not bad either!" Yang Jian said calmly.

"But I'm not in the mood to argue with you anymore. I'll give you three breaths. You'd better leave immediately, or you won't be so lucky once I recover," Yang Jian said coldly.

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, the old man in black looked even more grim. He knew that Yang Jian's words were not an exaggeration, after all, the strength Yang Jian had just displayed had exceeded his expectations and made him feel a sense of fear. Now he dared not delay any longer.

"Fine! Fine, fine! Yang Jian, you win. Next time we meet, I'll crush your head with my own hands!" the old man in black said viciously, his eyes filled with the rage of hatred.

After speaking, the old man in black turned and left, leading the three elders outside. Clearly, he had no intention of staying.

"I'll settle the score with you next time we meet!" Before leaving, he glared at Yang Jian fiercely and said coldly.

After seeing the old man in black and his companions leave, a cold smile appeared on Yang Jian's lips.

On the other side,

Inside Ao Changsheng's dojo,

Nüwa sat cross-legged beside him. "I originally thought this was just a dispute among the Eight Immortals, but I didn't expect Yang Jian to suddenly appear halfway through."

Ao Changsheng shook his head. "The situation in the Primordial World changes in an instant, but everything is predetermined by the will of Heavenly Dao, and the heavens cannot be changed."

Nüwa didn't understand Ao Changsheng's words. Instead, she frowned, feeling that Ao Changsheng was hiding something. So she asked, "Then what do you think?"

Ao Changsheng pondered for a moment, then replied, "Although his cultivation is inferior to mine, he possesses extraordinary Karmic Luck. If he were to use this Karmic Luck, it would bring endless disasters. Moreover, he also possesses some heaven-defying abilities, which he can use to fight me."
