The Way of The Dao



Long Yuyin was surprised when she could not see Man Chong's speed, realizing it when he was already in front of Ling Tian just inches away from cutting him with what appeared to be a slightly short but very rusty sword. Even Long Yuyin could feel a very powerful force as if it was some kind of higher domain suppressing her body completely, as if she was only a small lamb awaiting her death.

"Why so desperate?"

Suddenly, Ling Tian's voice brought Long Yuyin out of stupefaction as she realized that she was now close to Xuanyuan Ling and the others, while Ling Tian and Man Chong was several meters away, with the latter with his head being slammed on the ground by the former's hand.

Ling Tian's expression showed a faint curious smirk full of interest, with a sharp but extremely indifferent look on his face as he added more pressure to his hand and smashed Man Chong's face into the ground. His jet black eyes looked straight into his.

Man Chong's gaze was filled with grim fury, but within him terror and shock erupted. How could there be a subject that could easily suppress him? Although he hadn't really used his full strength, who was this kid who hadn't even reached maturity and still defeated him in the first encounter? How could he have unimaginable strength and speed, especially when he was a cripple? Or perhaps he still hadn't recovered decently?

Man Chong quickly opened his palm, causing his spiritual weapon that had flown out to return to him once again. The slightly short and rusty sword began to spin in the air, heading towards Ling Tian on its way to its owner, so he had no choice but to let go of Man Chong and let him escape.

Ling Tian looked up at this spiritual weapon that appeared to be a strange rusty machete, but if one paid more detailed attention, it contained a terrifying power inside that could cut the very sky. It was as if it was made of a material that could destroy the world if it exerted its full power.

Man Chong took a deep breath, looking at Ling Tian with utmost seriousness. He knew that his power was not complete and he was not fully recovered due to his extreme internal injuries, but with his current strength no one in this world should pose a threat to him. After all, his origin is superior to this lower plane!

Xuanyuan Ling, Lu Wuhu and the others were stunned to see Ling Tian's reaction, not being able to see his attack and movement speed, more so seeing that he was able to easily suppress Man Chong despite being a peak state of Great Ascension and Ling Tian a body refining cultivator.

"He really is very strong?" Nalan Ziqing whispered in astonishment. She was also unable to see Ling Tian's speed, only realizing later that he had completely suppressed Man Chong.

"Who are you?" Man Chong asked gloomily once again, but this time, his sharp eyes showed deep seriousness and darkness. Man Chong was not sure who Ling Tian was since he had never seen him, but he had an intuition that this guy might be a subordinate of those enemies. If it was true, Man Chong could not leave this young man alive after he had seen him here, being able to connect the clues and realize his plans!

Especially after remembering that one of the founders and former leaders currently trapped in his formation addressed this guy as his Master!

Could it be that this sect is a secret force from those other guys?

Then if he managed to get rid of him and take this base as his own they could regain more of their forces and at the same time hinder the enemy! By stealing their territories and weakening them!

"You want to know who I am? I'm a fallen king of heaven~" Ling Tian scoffed with amusement at Man Chong's question. Whether he told him the truth or not, no one would believe him.

Man Chong's face darkened as he heard Ling Tian's answer, his hand tightly clenched his spiritual weapon. It seemed that he had to get rid of him right now after all.

"If I were to ask you who are you and who are your friends in that sect, would you clear up the doubt for me?" Ling Tian asked Man Chong sarcastically.

Man Chong gritted his teeth glaring angrily at Ling Tian before lunging towards him, "It's useless to waste time on this nonsense."

"You said so yourself." Ling Tian grinned even wider when he saw that Man Chong's speed was much faster than before, as if the first time he had only used a small part of his strength.

A strange but extremely powerful domain wrapped around Ling Tian, turning the space tight and sharp. Suddenly, the space began to tear into several long pieces when rusty machetes suddenly appeared, leaving Ling Tian with no escape. These machetes seemed to corrode and tear the air, leaving tiny wisps in the air shedding off the rust and staining the space.

Ling Tian snorted somewhat excitedly and raised his left arm, waved it outward and cracked the domain, shattering it in less than a second!

But Man Chong's image had already materialized behind Ling Tian and with his rusty machete he had already slashed in front, with a few inches about to touch Ling Tian's body.

Ling Tian frowned momentarily before shifting to Man Chong's side and throwing a punch.

Man Chong's eyes shrunk as he felt a crisis of alarm, so he decided to avoid Ling Tian's punch and no longer continue attacking with his weapon.

"Where do you think you're going? Haha..."

Ling Tian asked with a playful laugh as he began to follow Man Chong at an incredible speed. The proficiency with the laws and principles of space were easily used.

"Ripped Sky!" Man Chong shouted and swung his Rusty Machete rapidly, anticipating the place where Ling Tian would appear the next moment.

The Rusty Machete seemed to grow in length as it stabbed into space and soon began to tear through space as if it were paper. A powerful force of Chi burst into the sky, cutting through everything in its path, as if the sky itself could not withstand the force in its path.

"I see..." Ling Tian whispered with a small smile as he saw the attack and before dodging it, looking at the slightly shattered space.

Ling Tian threw several punches in succession, countering the incoming attacks easily before looking for Man Chong and throwing another punch faster. He did not even use a hint of the power of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, only using the physical strength of his own body. Nor did he use any spiritual weapon.

But because of this, Man Chong was surprised to confirm that this guy was actually crippled but was still strong because he had refined his body to the limits!

Physical strength from body refinement!

Could it be that this young man had attained the perfect immortal body? That way it would make sense of the threat he felt, but that was impossible!

Man Chong knew that refining the body is almost impossible, so much so that in millions of years there were only very few who could refine their bodies to the peak, managing to touch the threshold of immortality refinement and dominating mortals with physical strength alone! Even his martial brother had barely reached the half immortal body, but with that alone he already had terrifying strength that would frighten thousands!

But if this guy had reached a high level of body refinement, then he couldn't take it lightly. Much less could he let a blow from him land on his body, thus aggravating his internal injuries. Man Chong could feel that those single punches were terrifying. Plus this guy was moving at unprecedented speed, almost as if he was teleporting...

"Killer Domain!" Man Chong burst out with great energy in his body as he didn't give Ling Tian time to rest. His mind had devised a thousand plans.

A domain force again wrapped itself around Ling Tian. Dozens of rusty machetes appeared in the air and slashed in Ling Tian's direction, tearing the space and leaving no room to escape.

"The same trick again?"

Ling Tian laughed in amusement and lifted his foot before bringing it down, stomping towards the ground and destroying the domain instantly. He turned around and threw a punch in Man Chong's direction where he had similarly appeared as before wanting to slash him from behind.

However, this time, Man Chong smiled slightly before dismissing his attack and taking Ling Tian's punch head on by crossing his arms over his chest.

"Big brother!"

Xue Ning's worried voice was suddenly heard.

Ling Tian's gaze moved quickly, watching Man Chong's figure in front of him crumbling like rusty dust as a figure from afar arrived and flew horizontally towards him in the blink of an eye. A suppressive force that completely surpassed any domain fell upon Ling Tian again, this time even limiting his movements to a complete stop.

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he was unexpectedly stupefied and did not dodge.

Man Chong's expression turned cruel as he made a horizontal slashing attack with his machete, cutting Ling Tian in half by piercing his abdomen!

Shan Qingwu, Xue Ning, Lu Wuhu and Nalan Ziqing paled when they saw Ling Tian being cut into two parts!

However, both Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin kept their same expressions, carefully watching what was happening without panicking. Even Xuanyuan Ling clenched her fists but without showing despair.

"I thought you would be some kind of genius who would be that as a monster in battle because of your level of strength... too bad you decided to side with Suo Qichao."

Man Chong glanced sideways at Ling Tian's back smiling slightly, stowing his rusty machete. Although the enemy had not fallen completely, there was nothing to worry about, no one had survived his best killer attack.

"Hoo? So there's more than one group of you? I thought your sect was the only one with immortal cultivators."

Suddenly, Ling Tian's voice sounded surprisingly calm but still indifferent.

Then, Ling Tian calmly turned to Man Chong, looking at him with an interesting expression. The wound on his abdomen seemed to glow as it strangely became a blur in the area, with the air cracking and opening a small crack of the void that began to absorb energy like a black hole swallowing everything before abruptly closing.

The wound had not even touched his body! It simply stayed a centimeter close before disappearing!

Everyone's gazes, especially Man Chong's, became stunned as they saw that Ling Tian's body were perfectly fine, with no injuries in sight, as if nothing had happened.

Ling Tian saw this and smiled happier. Indeed, fighting against really strong opponents that could bring threat to his life made him stronger to the point of understanding and learning new abilities when fighting!

This time, he finally understood an ability of the Space Law that he had just felt for the first time not long ago!
