“Mo Ke!” The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan broke through Old Ma’s defenses and looked down at the figure disappearing into thin air. His eyes were bloodshot, and power rolled out from him in violent waves.
Mo Ke had been slain like this. He had been killed without a chance to react. And it was not only Mo Ke; other cultivators of the Demon Cloud Clan had been killed by a single attack as well. They had all been slain.
The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan raised his head and looked up at Blind Tie. His deep, dark eyes were filled to the brim with murderous intent.
However, Blind Tie ignored him. This hammer had been his obsession for so many years, but he felt very little joy or appreciation in his heart. He felt only calm.
In the past, he and Mo Ke had been very close and had called each other brothers. But he never would have thought that he was plotting against him. It was only through the divine art of spying that he had saved his own life.
For so many years, he had dreamed that he would kill Mo Ke and get revenge one day.
Now, he had finally done it. He had resolved a matter that he had held close to his heart.
Ye Futian and the others looked at Blind Tie and seemed to sense his state of mind. There was no sorrow there, no joy. Perhaps it was a kind of relief.
Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. If it had not been for the things that had happened back then, he probably would not have returned to the village, and his state of mind would not have been purified. And now, he would not have had the chance to reach the ninth tier of the Renhuang plane. Everything had been decided by fate.
Mo Ke had wasted his talents scheming back then, doing all that he could. And yet, a single hammer had still frightened him to death. So what did all the time he had spent back then matter in the end?
Blind Tie faced towards where the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan was. He spat out his words, saying, “Uncle Ma, let me come over there.”
Old Ma and the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan were facing each other. He nodded when he heard Blind Tie’s words, then moved off to the side, opening up a path to let him through.
After he stepped aside, Blind Tie and the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan were facing each other. One was above the other people. Terrifying power of the Great Path was seeping out from both of them.
“You were the one behind everything that happened back then. You made Mo Ke do it,” said Blind Tie. His voice was still calm. It was as if he was not too concerned by all of this. It seemed like he just wanted to bring it to an end.
“Yes,” the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan admitted openly. Of course they had been his orders. If it had not been for him, how could Mo Ke have done it? And how could he have succeeded? After all, Blind Tie had been no ordinary figure back then.
“Mm.” Blind Tie said no more. He just nodded calmly. Neither of them liked to talk much. They obviously did not need to say very much either. This was a matter of life and death. One of the two of them would definitely die.
But the one who would die would probably be the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan. With the cultivators around him, he had no way to slay Blind Tie.
So the outcome already seemed to be decided—the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan would die.
Actually, everyone understood that this made sense, including the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan. When the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy arrived, along with a person at the Tribulation level, how could he hope to kill Blind Tie?
“Back during the Battle of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, you said that the people of the Divine Prefecture were slaughtering each other. But now, you led the Heavenly Mandate Academy in a battle against the upper Divine Prefecture. Excellent,” said the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan coldly. But as he said this, he already felt a little bit timid.
They had not even started fighting, and he was already feeling timid. That was why he had said that. Otherwise, the slaughter would have started.
The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan understood his fate.
“This was a grudge between you and Four Corner Village. What did the Heavenly Mandate Academy have to do with it?” said Old Ma, sweeping his gaze over the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan. “Back then, you ruined his eyes, almost killing him, and stole the divine item of Four Corner Village. What is wrong with us coming to repay our debts now?”
“Why did people from the Heavenly Mandate Academy get involved in this dispute with Four Corner Village?” asked the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan, looking up in the curtain of stars in the sky. If it were not for that starry curtain, he would not have to make a last stand here. He could have escaped.
“Unfortunately for you, I am a member of the village. So, I naturally had the right to get involved in this affair,” said Ye Futian, looking at the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan from across the distance.
The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan looked back at him. Surging demonic power swept out from him, filling the entire vast area with his demonic aura.
Woosh! The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan’s body suddenly disappeared, transforming into a beam of demonic light that pierced through the air.
Ye Futian frowned. He could clearly feel a threatening will. Just as he was preparing to move, a figure descended beside him. It was Renhuang Chen, who was covered in starlight and transformed into a protective light curtain that wrapped around Ye Futian.
However, the beam of demonic light shot up into the sky, as if it had changed direction instantaneously, then rushed onward into the high distance. Clearly, the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan’s target was not Ye Futian. That had been a diversion so that he could escape the area.
His anger and his murderous intent had been real, but his desire to survive by leaving was even more real. So the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan had not sought revenge—he had sought to flee.
Bang! A booming sound split the air as a black hammer appeared up in the air and smashed into the curtain of stars, making cracks. That was naturally the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan’s attack. He wanted to break open this forbidding power and flee the area that he was imprisoned in.
But could he do it?
The starlight that was upon Renhuang Chen flashed as he raised his scepter. Suddenly, brilliant starlight shot up straight into the air, repairing the places on the starlight curtain that had been damaged. In a flash, it was as good as new again. The repaired pieces seemed like they were a part of the original. If the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan tried to destroy it, it would be nearly impossible, as the difference in levels was too great.
Just then, divine light burst forth, flowing between heaven and earth. A mighty divine force descended. The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan’s expression changed as he looked over in that direction and saw that Blind Tie seemed to have melded with the body of a god. His body was covered in golden armor, and unimaginable divine power was radiating from him.
The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan could even sense a hint of the aura of a Great Emperor about him.
Boom! A divine hammer fell from the sky, smashing into the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan. The terrifying amount of pressure made the space around him freeze. And the Elder himself was no different as he sensed this supernatural power.
“It seems that your combat ability now measures among the greatest, Uncle. That is incredible,” said Ye Futian as he looked at the divine light. As soon as he said this, the hammer fell again, and monstrous figures appeared in the air. But they could not block this attack. There was another loud booming sound, and the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan was sent flying backward. The space where he had been before seemed to split as the terrifying divine light raged through the air.
Blind Tie seemed to have transformed into a god. He continued walking forward, swinging the hammer once again and slamming it into the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan as smoothly as flowing water.
It was simple yet overpowering. He possessed limitless strength.
Boom! Another dull boom rang out, and the air seemed to shatter as the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan was sent flying once again, blood pouring from his mouth. It seemed like he had been crushed and had no more power to resist.
