Li Daoyi knew that he could not stop Ou Yangming, so he could only pray in his heart.

He hoped that the Demon King and that mysterious powerhouses had really lost their fighting strengths.

Ou Yangming’s body was like a bolt of lightning, leaving a series of afterimages in the air. The sound of explosions could be heard in the air.

The Nine-sworded Ruler and the other 2 figures turned their heads, and their gazes fixed on Ou Yangming. Their eyes were filled with shock. ‘A human powerhouse in the second step of the laws? What is he going to do?’

“Don’t go over!”

As if he understood Ou Yangming’s actions, the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect roared. He thought that the young fellow had rushed over to help him.

Ou Yangming did not stop. The Reincarnation Spear made a spear move in the air and charged toward the Nine-sworded Ruler with a lightning-like momentum.

‘What is he trying to do?

‘Kill me?’ The Nine-sworded Ruler’s eyes were filled with a strange look.

The Nine-sworded Ruler’s expression gradually turned indifferent. He never thought that an ant who was only in the second step would provoke him though he had been injured twice in a row and was left with less than 10% of his strength.

He did not immediately recognize Ou Yangming. The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron suppressed the young fellow’s aura and even changed his appearance.

There was another reason. This young fellow who was not afraid of death was in the second step. As compared to Ou Yangming in the heart of origins, his strength had increased by a level, which was why the Nine-sworded Ruler did not think about him at all.

“You’re courting death!”

The Nine-sworded Ruler’s expression changed slightly. An ant actually dared to provoke him, which made him feel humiliated. He waved his giant sword with one hand, and a sword-light flew out.

A fierce sword Qi appeared!

It was worth noting that a casual strike from a third-step powerhouse was not something a second-step powerhouse could withstand. The stronger powerhouses became, the greater the gap between their levels.

In the history of the Great Wide World, there had been a precedent of a Ruler defeating a powerhouse of the laws. The top geniuses of several sacred lands had hopes of defeating ordinary Rulers of the laws. Nonetheless, this did not mean that a second-step powerhouse had the strength to challenge a third-step powerhouse.

If one were to say that there was a small river between an ordinary Ruler and a powerhouse who comprehended the laws, a second-step powerhouse and a third-step powerhouse were separated by an endless sea.

Another sword-light flashed past. The Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader also attacked and helped Ou Yangming block this move. The young fellow did not take the opportunity to retreat.

The Demon King roared loudly and opened his bloody mouth to swallow.

Ou Yangming’s expression froze. His body flashed quickly, and he nimbly dodged the Demon King’s attack.

The Demon King did not expect this second-step human to be so fast. He was stomped on the top of his head a few times. He turned his head in anger and saw Ou Yangming flying over his head. The young fellow’s long spear flashed with light and stabbed toward the head of the Nine-sworded Ruler.

“Heaven’s Destruction”

Ou Yangming roared loudly.

His aura burst out completely. The black dragon flew out from the Reincarnation Spear like a mad dragon out of the sea. Countless spear-lights shot toward the Nine-sworded Ruler.

“It’s you!”

Seeing this move, the Nine-sworded Ruler finally knew who this young fellow in front of him was.

Ou Yangming’s aura and appearance could be changed, but his ultimate move could not be changed. Back then, he had relied on this move to escape from the Nine-sworded Ruler by a fluke. How could the Nine-sworded Ruler forget it?

“Yes, it’s me!”

The black dragon opened its huge mouth and suddenly roared. Then, it rushed toward the Nine-sworded Ruler to devour him.

Even so, the Nine-sworded Ruler’s expression did not change. He raised his hand, and the giant sword slashed toward the black dragon. He said coldly, “The same move is useless against me. This move of yours is great, but your strength is too weak.”

The Nine-sworded Ruler did not think that Ou Yangming could hurt him. He had miscalculated the young fellow’s strength at the moment. This young fellow could escape from him even in the law boundary. If he did not have a bit of confidence now, how could he attack so easily?

After taking in this sword-light, the black dragon did not disappear. It just became a little fainter. The Nine-sworded Ruler’s sword could not block Ou Yangming’s attack.

At this moment, the long spear was already in front of him!

The Nine-sworded Ruler did not have time to swing his sword again. He could only raise the giant sword to block in front of him.

“Clang!”

At the spur of the moment, the Reincarnation Spear stabbed the giant sword. The spearhead spun non-stop. The black dragon suddenly pounced over and swallowed the Nine-sworded Ruler completely.

The Nine-sworded Ruler flew backward like a kite with a broken string. His body was in immense pain.

“How? How’s this possible?”

The Nine-sworded Ruler was in disbelief. Why did this young fellow, who was being chased by him in the heart of origins, have such powerful strength?

Even if he only had a tenth of his strength left, even if he was heavily injured, he was certainly not someone an ordinary second-step Ruler could contend against.

Now…

The Nine-sworded Ruler’s body crashed heavily to the ground. His face was on the ground, and his face was covered in blood and flesh from the friction. His hair was messy, and he looked like a stray dog.

He had never been in such a sorry state before.

“So powerful!”

The Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader was shocked at first, but he was soon delighted. He said excitedly, “I’ll help you block the Demon King. Kill him first!”

Ou Yangming had already made his move, so he did not show any mercy. He caught up with the Nine-sworded Ruler quickly, and the Reincarnation Spear thrust out again.

“Earth’s Demolition”

In order to kill The Nine-sworded Ruler, Ou Yangming used his 2 most powerful ultimate moves. Space seemed to be frozen. Under this spear, even the Nine-sworded Ruler’s body stopped for a moment.

“This is the law of time!”

The Nine-sworded Ruler felt that his breathing was uncomfortable. He could not block this spear. If his opponent stabbed him, he would surely die.

He gritted his teeth, and his expression was ferocious. All of a sudden, a blood-red light flashed.

The Nine-sworded Ruler turned into a red light and disappeared in an instant.

With that, the Reincarnation Spear landed on the ground and smashed into the ground. A 100-meters-deep pit appeared on the ground. The Nine-sworded Ruler had disappeared.

“Damn it! He ran away?!”

Ou Yangming landed on the ground and took a deep breath. A confused look flashed across his eyes. ‘How did he run away? Why was he so fast just now?’

“Young brother, don’t feel that it’s a pity. Every third-step powerhouse has many trump cards. It’s not that easy to kill him. Besides, that guy just ran away at a great cost. I’m afraid that he can’t even stabilize his strength in the third step now. You don’t have to worry about his revenge.”

The sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect attacked the Demon King again. He had recovered a lot of vital essence after swallowing a pill just now. At this time, his strength became oppressive again.

As for the Demon King, he was different from the Nine-sworded Ruler. He had just been resurrected and did not have any treasures on him. Furthermore, he was closely watched by the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect. It was very difficult for him to escape.

The sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect slashed at him!

As such, Demon King Taotie quickly retreated with a panicked look in his eyes.

Ou Yangming also quickly turned around and decisively pulled out the Reincarnation Spear from the ground. He suddenly thrust his spear forward.

The Demon King happened to be retreating in Ou Yangming’s direction, so his back was open. Since the young fellow could not kill the Nine-sworded Ruler, he would not miss the Demon King.

“Puff!”

The Reincarnation Spear pierced through the Demon King’s body like a venomous snake. Without any protective equipment, even if the Demon King’s body was tough, he could not block the Acquired Taoist Tool in Ou Yangming’s hand.

“Hiss!”

Ou Yangming pulled out the Reincarnation Spear. At the same time, a sword-light slashed over again, and the Demon King’s body was cut into two halves.

“Success!”

Li Daoyi, who was watching the battle from afar, began to feel extremely nervous. When he saw this, he almost cried out in excitement.

Although it was hard to imagine, Ou Yangming had done it. If Li Daoyi had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not believe it. The young fellow had successfully changed the battle situation.

If Ou Yangming had not appeared, the outcome of the battle would be uncertain. Now, after he joined, one of the 2 third-step mighty figures died while the other fled.

Both of them had a direct relationship with Ou Yangming!

What kind of battle record was this?

Li Daoyi’s body trembled with excitement. He realized that he could not see through that young fellow at all.

“Senior, can I have the points for this Demon King?”

Ou Yangming laughed bitterly. His spear was enough to kill the Demon King, but the king was cut into two halves by the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect in the end.

Looking at the jade token on Ou Yangming’s waist, the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect was stunned for a moment. Afterward, he laughed, “Of course, it’s yours. I don’t have a jade token. What’s the use of these points for me?”

The sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect was the leader of the battle to exterminate the Demon King. Furthermore, he was a powerhouse in the third step. If he participated in the competition, no one would be able to compete with him. If that happened, this competition would be meaningless.

“Thank you, senior.”

Ou Yangming squeezed out a smile and took out his jade token. He swept it over the Demon King’s body. The number on the jade token increased rapidly. The changing number was dazzling.

How many points was the Demon King worth?

No one knew. Even the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect did not know at this moment.

Demon King Taotie was incredibly powerful when he was at his peak. He could swallow the sky and destroy the ground with his mouth. Even the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect knew that he was no match for the king. It was precisely because of this reason that he was so determined to kill the Demon King. Otherwise, once the king’s strength recovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. It would be a disaster for the Humans.

Fortunately, the disaster had been quelled.

The sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect looked at Ou Yangming with a satisfied look in his eyes. This young fellow was simply his lucky star. If he had not suddenly rushed out, the consequences would be unpredictable.

‘At such a young age, he has such strength. I’m afraid that Tianxing can’t even compare to him,’ the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect thought to himself.

Ou Yangming’s score was still increasing and soon, it had broken through the 200,000 mark.

The points were based on the blood and Qi of Ancient Demons. This Demon King’s blood and Qi were so strong that even 10,000 Ancient Demons could not compare to it.

Li Daoyi flew over. First, he bowed respectfully to the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader. Then, he looked at the jade token. His face was filled with joy…

With so many points, Ou Yangming would definitely be ranked first. The Heavenly Star Mansion’s master and Zhongzhou’s governor could move aside. Who could destroy the Demon King in the Desolate Ancient Ruins?

No one could, but Ou Yangming had done it.

Li Daoyi was thrilled. Ou Yangming was ranked first, so he would obtain an Acquired Taoist Tool from him. Nevertheless, he did not know if the young fellow would keep his promise. After all, the fellow’s strength was not something he could compare to. He was also very nervous.

The outside world also went crazy.

When the points were close, everyone was paying attention to Ou Yangming and the Heavenly Star Mansion’s master.

After the Heavenly Star Mansion’s master had 110,000 points, he did not stop. As if he had a premonition that someone was going to catch up, his points kept increasing, and most of them were in the tens or hundreds.

On the other hand, after the mysterious 999th powerhouse had earned more than 100,000 points, he remained silent for a long time. This made his supporters very anxious.

The 10 great chambers of commerce even changed the odds. The odds of Ou Yangming’s victory had changed from 1 to 3 to 1 to 5.

Despite that, most people still bid on the Heavenly Star Mansion’s master. After all, the master had always been in the lead, and it was the way of the king to continue.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

What was the point of continuing? Strength and ferocity were the decisive factors.

‘Is that scoreboard malfunctioning? What’s going on? What did that mysterious powerhouse do?’

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on that jade token. They were all looking at the points that were constantly increasing. Just how many points would it take before it would stop….
