Golden Daoist stepped forward, intending to personally kill Chen Fan and exact revenge for past grievances. He had been waiting for this moment for so long, his impatience palpable.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan, on the other hand, merely smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Golden Daoist advanced, his eyes burning with intense killing intent.
"Laughing at you for being an idiot."
Chen Fan's gaze was filled with mockery. This look was more than Golden Daoist could bear.
"Chen Fan, I will flay you alive."
"Come."
Chen Fan beckoned with his finger. Before Golden Daoist could make his move, Chen Fan suddenly turned to the Lord of Light and asked, "Do you think he can kill me?"
The crowd: "???"
He was asking the Lord of Light. What in the world?
The Lord of Light's eyes flickered. He had been silent for a long time, seemingly reduced to a lamb awaiting slaughter.
Seeing Chen Fan's question, the Lord of Light stated in a deep voice, "Golden Daoist is a nobody, not strong enough to kill you."
His calm tone ignited Golden Daoist's fury. "Light, how dare you look down on me?" Golden Daoist raged. Am I not respected by anyone?
"Hmph."
Light let out another cold snort. However, it was not directed at Golden Daoist, but at the three individuals suppressing him. "If you cannot defeat the opponent, this deal is void. You will not get the Order Celestial Strategy."
These words were spoken by the Lord of Order. Currently, the Lord of Light existed as a dual entity.
"Roar."
His voice reverted to that of the Lord of Light. He struggled fiercely, but to no avail. "You three..." the Lord of Light seemed to realize something. "You've even suppressed me as well."
Indeed, the Illusion Sect and the others had not only suppressed the Lord of Order but the Lord of Light as well. "You bunch of bastards," the Lord of Light cursed.
Unfortunately, no one responded. *Yes, we have suppressed you. What can you do? Who told you to be possessed by the Lord of Order? Anyone else in this situation would be similarly punished. This outcome is irreversible.*
Then, Chen Fan spoke again, "A single Golden Daoist isn't enough. Bring another one."
He said this, but received no response. Or rather, indifference. The three individuals were not only suppressing the Lord of Order but also the Lord of Light. The pressure was immense.
"Kill."
Already driven to madness by the insults, Golden Daoist no longer cared about their conversation. One by one, they were all schemers. You scheme against me, I scheme against you. Golden Daoist had lost his patience.
The Geng Jin Dao. The ninth-tier Golden Daoist had already reached the end of this path. A broad, sea-like path ripped open, engulfing the dangerous terrain.
Rumble.
Innumerable divine weapons rained down from the long river of the Great Dao. Myriad weapons to slay. Golden Daoist unleashed his strongest technique from the outset. The Geng Jin Spirit manifested, revealing itself as a golden beast, pursuing alongside the myriad weapons.
Bang.
The earth churned. Chen Fan's figure was swallowed. The divine weapons of the killing Dao plunged into him.
Rumble.
The defense of the Golden Silk Cicada Robe was immediately weakened to its limit. The power of Geng Jin seeped into his body.
"Die."
Golden Daoist's voice was filled with boundless coldness. He intended to kill. This ant, who had repeatedly dared to provoke him, would perish here.
"Hahaha."
However, Chen Fan, enveloped by the Geng Jin Great Dao, burst into laughter. He allowed the myriad weapons to pierce through him, utterly unfazed. He seemed incapable of feeling pain.
"Is this all you've got?"
Chen Fan's laughter was manic, as if he had descended into madness. This made Golden Daoist's expression turn even uglier. Utter humiliation.
"Kill."
Golden Daoist remained silent. At this moment, words were useless. Only killing mattered.
"Golden Daoist, hahaha."
Chen Fan continued to laugh. Feeling the Geng Jin Great Dao piercing him, the Life and Death Dao River surged through the heavens and earth. "You... are unworthy of being called ninth-tier. Kill..."
He counterattacked.
Clang.
A single sword, piercing through life and death. A sword light that chilled the nineteen provinces. The light of life and death directly split the Geng Jin Great Dao in half. Resistance? It was nonexistent. No one could withstand this sword, as if the world was just beginning.
"How is this possible?" Golden Daoist was horrified. This sword was too sharp. The Great Dao could not resist it and was directly cleaved apart.
Screech.
The Light and Dark Dao Spirits flew out. A mournful cry echoed through heaven and earth.
Neigh.
The Dao Horse, carrying the world, emerged. Twin Dao Spirits, to suppress and kill.
Rumble.
The Geng Jin Great Dao was collapsing. "Impossible."
Golden Daoist was utterly aghast. He was a ninth-tier Great Emperor, a supreme being who had condensed three stages of Dao Spirits. Everywhere, he was a figure of supreme authority. Yet, he was now being suppressed by an eighth-tier.
"Hahaha."
Chen Fan laughed heartily. "Golden Daoist, you truly are bent on courting death, provoking this City Lord again and again. Today, this City Lord will teach you a lesson and show you that there is always someone stronger."
Rumble.
Eight Great Daos crisscrossed. Chen Fan unleashed his full power. The eight Great Daos suppressed Golden Daoist, forcing him to collapse and retreat repeatedly.
"Ping Xi."
At this moment, Chen Fan's voice echoed in his ear. "Breakthrough immediately and prepare to make your move."
"Okay."
To break through to the ninth tier, Ping Xi had been eager for a long time. Ninth tier was a heavenly chasm. A million years of waiting, all for this moment. To be able to reach the ninth tier, yet to deliberately suppress it, Ping Xi's heart itched. However, he knew Chen Fan had a plan and had been enduring it. Finally, he could break through...
A smile appeared on Ping Xi's face.
Boom.
He released his suppression. The Yin-Yang Dao Spirits, a chaotic beast, instantly appeared. Above Ping Xi's head, the Yin-Yang River manifested, with rolling energy surging like a tide. Strands of heaven and earth spiritual light flew out from the Dao River, merging into the Yin-Yang Dao Spirit, which quickly reached the third stage. Three stages, ninth tier.
Boom.
A thunderous explosion. The Impression River churned violently, and the sound of the Great Dao resonated from the river. These were spiritual sounds, recognized by the Dao Spirit.
"Not good..."
Swish.
Pairs of pupils all turned to look at the Yin-Yang Dao Master who was undergoing a transformation. "He is about to reach the ninth tier."
The voice of the Lord of Order suddenly rang out. "Stop him quickly, otherwise... none of you will be able to kill Chen Fan."
The Lord of Order's voice sounded abruptly. The Five Elements Dao Master instinctively moved.
"No..."
Qian Si and the Illusion Sect's expressions changed simultaneously. A faint, ominous premonition surfaced in their hearts.
At the same time...
In Ping Xi's ear, Chen Fan's voice echoed again. "Stop the Five Elements. Just for a moment is enough."
"Okay."
Ping Xi's advancement was complete. Although he had just entered the ninth tier, at the level of three-stage Dao Spirits, he could still hold off the Five Elements for a short while.
'Suppress.'
Ping Xi shouted. A Yin-Yang Great World that spanned across space instantly descended, blocking the returning Five Elements Dao Master.
"Hurry back."
The faces of the Illusion Sect and Qian Si completely changed.
"Order."
Chen Fan suddenly roared. "Are you not going to act? What are you waiting for?"
