Huang Jian Ye Ling called out his name, a subtle curve forming at the corner of his lips. He smiled and said, "It seems the renowned Emperor has noticed me for a long time. I originally intended to remain hidden for a while longer, but it appears that wish is now unfulfilled."
"If possible, I truly wish I wasn't facing you at this moment."
Ye Ling did not respond to Huang's words. Instead, he glanced at Li Xiaoxiao, who was being held by Huang, and asked, "Since you are here, can you return that girl to me?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Huang let out a hoarse laugh, then seemed to recall, "My apologies, I almost forgot why you were looking for me. This girl is no longer useful to me, so I can naturally return her to you."
With that, Huang released Li Xiaoxiao and pushed her towards Ye Ling with his spiritual energy.
Ye Ling caught Li Xiaoxiao and used his spiritual energy to examine her body. After confirming that nothing strange had been left within her, and that she had merely fainted, he took her into his small world to be properly settled.
Huang then asked with a smile, "Aren't you curious about where your divine weapon went?"
Ye Ling chuckled, "With your strength, you cannot take down Xue Sha. I have no need to worry about that. Seeing as Xiaoxiao is unharmed, I can make your death a little more pleasant."
Before seeing Huang's true face, Ye Ling had been unable to accurately gauge Huang's strength. However, after their meeting, Ye Ling had immediately seen through Huang's cultivation.
Excluding hidden methods and other trump cards, Huang's apparent cultivation was at the peak of the Supreme realm. Even if Huang had a few tricks up his sleeve, his peak combat power would at most be in the middle tier of the Dao Venerable realm.
Against an opponent of Huang's caliber, Ye Ling wouldn't even need to use talismans; he could resolve the matter with ease.
Huang, however, was not surprised by Ye Ling's words. A pure white long sword slowly materialized in his hand. "It seems the Emperor is as arrogant as the rumors say, paying no mind to others."
"This is good. Let me test if you have the right to be so arrogant!"
As his voice fell, a chilling killing intent erupted from Huang's eyes, and the space around him instantly distorted!
The next moment, Huang vanished from his spot, reappearing before Ye Ling. He gripped his sword with one hand and thrust it towards Ye Ling's brow.
A large amount of spiritual energy surged from Huang's arm, coiling around the long sword and causing the surrounding space to shatter.
Powerful spatial turbulence erupted, sealing off all of Ye Ling's escape routes!
This spatial turbulence was enough to shred any Emperor realm expert into pieces, and even a Supreme would absolutely not be able to withstand this attack from Huang!
Huang's first move was a killing blow!
"Ye Ling, take my sword!"
Seeing Huang charge forward with fierce momentum, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. He chuckled at Huang and said, "In the Way of Space, you are still a bit short."
"Let me teach you how the laws of space are truly used."
Ye Ling slightly shifted his body and flicked his finger against Huang's sword blade.
*Clang!*
With a crisp sound, Huang's long sword flew out of his hand. Ye Ling, ignoring the surrounding spatial turbulence, grabbed Huang's arm with one hand and squeezed with his five fingers!
*Crack!*
Huang's sword-wielding arm, along with the surrounding space, was crushed to dust by Ye Ling!
Blood splattered!
A large amount of spatial turbulence surged from the shattered void, sweeping towards Huang.
In the blink of an eye, Huang became a bloody mess, covered in wounds!
After crushing Huang's arm, Ye Ling instantly teleported behind him, grabbed the spatial turbulence with his bare hand, condensed it into a long saber, and slashed at Huang's waist!
*Swoosh!*
Huang was directly cut in half, his lower body being shredded into fragments by the increasingly violent spatial turbulence!
All of this happened in a flash. Huang didn't even have time to feel pain before he realized he was left with only one arm and half a torso.
Then, intense pain surged through his entire body, contorting his features!
"This, this..."
Huang stared in horror at his lower body, which had been crushed by space, cold sweat pouring down his face, his eyeballs trembling.
He knew Ye Ling was not from Earth and that his cultivation far surpassed that of the gods in the Three Realms.
But he had always believed that even if his strength was slightly inferior to Ye Ling's, it wouldn't be by much.
Yet now, after their first exchange, Huang realized just how vast the gap between him and Ye Ling truly was!
This was a completely one-sided annihilation!
"Now, do you think I have the right?"
Ye Ling's mocking voice sounded from behind Huang, making Huang tremble violently, his mind shaken!
Escape!
With almost no hesitation, Huang acted. He tore open the space before him with one hand and plunged into it!
Like Ye Ling, he had also mastered the laws of time and space. Even if his strength was inferior to Ye Ling's, if he was determined to escape, Ye Ling definitely wouldn't be able to stop him! Da Feng Novel Network
Ye Ling watched Huang escape into the void with a smile, standing still without any intention of pursuing.
Soon, Huang, who had entered the void, reappeared before Ye Ling, facing him directly.
"This, how can this be?"
Huang's face was filled with terror as he saw himself return to this space. He tore open space once more to escape.
But soon, Huang returned again.
Realizing that the surrounding space had been sealed off, Huang stared at Ye Ling with a look of horror and asked with a trembling voice, "No, impossible... What method did you use?"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I told you, your application of the Way of Space is still a bit short."
With that, Ye Ling lightly snapped his fingers. The space between him and Huang was instantly severed, and Huang was pulled before him.
*Bang!*
Ye Ling punched Huang in the face, sending him flying out like a cannonball.
Ye Ling watched Huang disappear into the darkness, then reached behind him without turning his head, directly grabbing the Huang who was flying from behind and smashing him forward again!
*Bang!*
Huang, with only half a body remaining, slammed into a transparent wall that had appeared out of nowhere. His body turned into a bloody pulp, leaving only a dazed head.
"No, impossible... How can he be so strong..."
Huang's vision was blurred by blood and flesh. His entire soul began to tremble.
Compared to Ye Ling's methods of using space, his own manipulation of space was more than just "a bit short"!
His proud mastery of space was like a baby learning to walk in front of Ye Ling!
"That's about it..."
Seeing that Huang was left with only his head, Ye Ling beckoned to him. A large amount of demonic energy appeared around Huang, entangling him and bringing him to his front.
"Let me see what's inside your head," Ye Ling said softly, demonic energy surging from his fingertips and drilling into Huang's head!
However, just as Ye Ling's demonic energy entered Huang's head and was about to search his soul, Huang's eyes instantly became incredibly hollow, and an extremely powerful aura erupted from Huang's head, actually forcing Ye Ling back!
