Chi Ming!

Ou Yangming recognized the person outside. ‘Why is Chi Ming here?’

He was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood the reason.

Chi Ming must have been looking for him during this period. After hearing the news of his appearance at the Big Python Mountain, he also followed him here.

The other party’s perseverance surprised Ou Yangming. He had cultivated in the Enlightenment pavilion for 100 years, which meant that a year had passed outside.

A year had passed, but Chi Ming still refused to give up.

Just as Ou Yangming was thinking, Chi Ming suddenly turned around and looked in his direction. His gaze locked onto this area.

‘As expected of a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank. Such a great perception.’

Ou Yangming knew that he had been discovered. He no longer concealed himself and walked out of the Enlightenment Pavilion.

“Little b*stard, let’s see where you can run to this time.”

Chi Ming gradually stood up. His eyes were also filled with curiosity. Just now, he did not see where Ou Yangming had walked out from.

‘No wonder he could escape from under my nose last time. It turns out that he has a hidden treasure.’ This time, it was fortunate that he used the Deduction Art to confirm that the young fellow was still on the Big Python Mountain. Otherwise, he would be deceived again.

“Run? Why would I run?” Ou Yangming stretched out his hand, and a silver spear appeared in his hand.

If he had met Chi Ming a year ago, he would have run away without hesitation. It was different this time. His strength had increased explosively. Even if he met a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank, he was no longer so worried.

Unless it was a true Heavenly Ranked powerhouse, it would not be easy for others to hurt him.

“I’m very curious. Why are you chasing after me?” Ou Yangming asked with a smile.

Chi Ming’s gaze flickered. ‘This fella isn’t showing any fear. Could it be that he thinks that he can escape from me after hiding for a year?’

“You killed the Nine-sworded Ruler. Isn’t this reason enough?” Chi Ming said coldly.

“That’s not right.”

Ou Yangming grinned. “The Nine-sworded Ruler is just an ordinary third-step conferred Ruler. There are more than 100 such people in your Heavenly Path Alliance. Even if he were to be killed by me, as a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank, you wouldn’t have pursued me. If my guess is correct, I must have something you need.”

Throughout the 100 years in the Enlightenment Pavilion, Ou Yangming had also thought about this question.

With Chi Ming’s attitude, the probability of him avenging the Nine-sworded Ruler was very low. He surely had other motives.

“Hmph!”

Chi Ming snorted coldly, tacitly agreeing. He was a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank, so there was no need for him to lie.

Ou Yangming had guessed it, so Chi Ming naturally did not bother to explain.

Chi Ming’s attitude had undoubtedly confirmed Ou Yangming’s guess. The young fellow recalled the treasures he had and the things he had obtained from the Nine-sworded Ruler. What exactly was it that was worth this powerhouse chasing after him with so much effort?

“How about this? You tell me what you want and I’ll give it to you, then we’ll call it even. How about it?” Ou Yangming smiled slightly. When he spoke, he paid attention to Chi Ming’s expression.

Chi Ming looked at Ou Yangming with disdain. “Wishful thinking! If I kill you, I can still take it out.”

“That might not be true.”

Ou Yangming’s expression did not change. He said calmly, “What if I give that thing to someone else? If you kill me, you might not get that thing forever.”

Chi Ming’s expression changed slightly.

It was easy to kill Ou Yangming, but it was difficult to snatch his memories. When Chi Ming thought of the terrifying eight trigrams map in the young fellow’s body, his expression became somewhat unsightly.

What Ou Yangming said was still possible. After he disappeared, Chi Ming had searched for those people in Starlight City, but they disappeared without a trace at the same time.

There was not much time left. If Chi Ming could not take that thing from Ou Yangming, once the Immortal Path opened, he would not be able to give an explanation.

‘Why don’t I pretend to agree with him first, then I’ll kill him and get that thing?’

Chi Ming hesitated for a moment, then he said, “You killed the Nine-sworded Ruler, so you should’ve taken his interspatial ring. There’s a piece of hand bone in his interspatial ring, and it’s a treasure of the Heavenly Path Alliance. If you’re sensible enough to hand that thing over, I can spare your life!”

“A piece of hand bone?”

Ou Yangming’s expression did not change, but he already knew what Chi Ming wanted.

When he checked the Nine-sworded Ruler’s interspatial ring, he saw a hand bone in the box that was the deepest inside. The hand bone was placed in a deeper place than the Taoist Tools and divine medicines. He did not know what it was, so he kept it there. It was still in the ring.

‘What’s the use of that thing?’ Ou Yangming thought to himself.

He did not show his curiosity. Instead, he raised his head and pretended to think. “I have some impression of that thing, but I thought it was useless, so I threw it away.”

“Where did you throw it…” Chi Ming asked anxiously.

Nevertheless, soon, his expression changed slightly. “Kid, don’t try to be clever in front of me. Hurry up and hand it over.”

“I threw it away, so I can’t give it to you.” Ou Yangming’s eyes were a little cunning. “If you tell me its use, I might be able to remember where I’ve thrown it.”

“B*stard, you’re courting death.” Chi Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed.

Chi Ming had a feeling that he was being played. From the beginning to the end, this young fellow was trying to trick him. Despite that, he thought that the other party could not escape from him, so he did not take it to heart. Now that Chi Ming had made it clear, this young fellow still pretended to be deaf and dumb. He was simply courting death.

A huge palm blotted out the sky and covered the earth. It suddenly pressed down from the sky. The rocks under Ou Yangming’s feet had begun to crack. Only the spot where he was standing did not change at all. He did not dodge. He stabbed the long spear into the ground and raised his hand to suddenly punch out.

“Rumble!” The ground and the mountains shook!

A gust of violent wind swept past. Ou Yangming’s long robe swayed with the violent wind.

With that, a destructive aura spread out from the collision, spreading rapidly in all directions.

The huge hand in the sky was forced to withdraw by Ou Yangming’s punch.

Chi Ming’s pupils constricted, and his eyes were filled with shock. It had only been a year, yet this young fellow had become so powerful.

‘This power!’

Chi Ming felt as if he was fighting against a Heavenly Ranked powerhouse. Only that kind of supreme powerhouse had such powerful physical strength.

“Are you surprised?” Ou Yangming stomped on the ground with one foot.

The mountain under his feet exploded, and the long spear that was originally on the ground flew into the air. He shot up like lightning, and he suddenly held the long spear in his hand.

“Today, I’ll let you know that I can’t be bullied easily!”

The long spear flashed with silver light and with a swing of the spear, the sky and earth changed color. An aura of destruction appeared in the air as though chaos had just begun.

Chi Ming’s gaze was filled with caution as he stretched out his hand and slapped toward the long spear.

“Clang…” Ou Yangming’s attack was blocked. His body flipped, but he landed steadily in the air.

Chi Ming also retreated a kilometer. His gaze was filled with shock.

He could not understand why Ou Yangming’s strength had increased so much in just a year. This was completely unexplainable.

Having said that, these powers could not make Chi Ming retreat. His gaze focused, and a frightening aura bloomed from his body.

Heaven’s Domain!

This was the true terror of a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank. Other than the Domain Power, such a powerhouse was actually not much different from a powerhouse at the peak of the third step.

Ou Yangming was wary. Under Heaven’s Domain, he felt the law powers around him completely disappear. If it were any other Ruler of the third step, they would have to sit and wait for death. Losing the powers of laws would be a fatal blow to those above the law boundary. However, Ou Yangming was different.

His physical strength had surpassed the third step. To others, the deadly Domain Power only limited a portion of his strength.

“Break!” Ou Yangming roared.

His body rose into the air as he tried to fly out of the domain’s range.

This was obviously not a good place to fight.

“Go back!” Chi Ming stepped on the air and punched down.

Surging spiritual power came from the sky, destroying Heaven and Earth.

Ou Yangming’s face did not change. He waved his hand and shouted coldly, “Extermination.”

Heaven’s Domain was not omnipotent. There were still some things it could not control, such as the power of profound meaning.

As soon as the profound meaning of extermination was released, Chi Ming’s face changed. He hurriedly withdrew his hand. ‘This fella has also mastered the power of profound meaning.’

Even someone as strong as Chi Ming did not dare to use his body to resist the profound meaning of extermination.

He flipped his wrist and grabbed a shining golden sword. The sword came from the sky and slashed down in a beautiful arc.

The sword also carried the power of the profound meaning. Chi Ming’s profound meaning was the profound meaning of order.

Order and extermination were the 2 most common profound meanings in the universe.

As for the remaining creation and space-time profound meanings, they were very mysterious. Very few people had mastered the 2 profound meanings. Less than a tenth of them had done it.

“Boom!” There was a loud sound.

Chi Ming’s profound meaning was just average. Although Ou Yangming had only controlled the profound meaning of extermination for a short time, its effect was much stronger when he used it through the Supreme Spear Principle.

They seemed to be evenly matched at this time.

Ou Yangming retreated, leaving the range of his opponent’s domain. He flashed and disappeared.

“Where do you think you’re going?!”

Chi Ming held his longsword and chased after him. Even so, Ou Yangming was already prepared to teleport and instantly disappeared without a trace.

‘This is the third step of the power of the law of space!’ Chi Ming was taken aback.

He was ranked third in the Heavenly Path Alliance and held a monstrous amount of power. Naturally, he knew what kind of ability Ou Yangming had just displayed. One could only master the Interspatial Transference if one was in the third step of the law of space. Even he did not have the ability to do this.

‘Damn it!

‘How could this be…’

Chi Ming’s expression was as dark as ink. He waved his sleeve, and the Big Python Mountain instantly turned into dust. He stared in the direction where Ou Yangming had disappeared, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
