Chapter 747: I Will Count to Three

“Fellow Daoists, please forgive me. Although I shouldn’t say so, I am in charge of Heaven’s Beyond. Thus, there are some things I must say. It’s not my fault that this responsibility was given to me by Family Head Nie and Realm Master Nuo La.” Upon seeing Di Jiu not say anything, Yan Jinghuan spoke with cupped fists.

Di Jiu replied with a sneer, “Oh, just say what you have to say. Don’t beat around the bush.”

Di Jiu knew very well that he would fight with the people here sooner or later. In that case, why should he feign civility? There was no need to waste time.

Yan Jinghuan had not expected Di Jiu to be so arrogant and speak relentlessly. While suppressing his anger, he tried to slow down his tone and said, “Even though the laws in Heaven’s Beyond have existed for a very long time, the two of you broke the rules so it’s hard for me to speak.”

“What rules?” Di Jiu asked as if nothing had happened.

“Everyone has to pay one million high-grade divine crystals to enter Heaven’s Beyond. Then, they can apply for the identification jade card here. The two of you did not do that. Instead, you came here forcefully. If this spreads, it will smear your reputation.”

Di Jiu chuckled and faintly replied, “Oh, who are you?”

Even though he had said his name several times, Yan Jinghuan still cupped his fists. “I’m Yan Jinghuan from the Great Beginning Realm and the second Court Pillar. I’m indebted to Realm Master Nuo La and all the Daoists in Heaven’s Beyond for looking up to me. I’m the current Heavenly Lord of Heaven’s Beyond.”

Di Jiu did not bother stopping. He went straight into the streets of Heaven’s Beyond and said calmly, “Does Heaven’s Beyond belong to your family? Can’t I come here? Who conferred the Heavenly Lord title on you? Are you that impressive? If you can act so arrogantly here after conferring that title on yourself, I can be the Heavenly Lord of Heaven’s Beyond. You can only dream about getting my divine crystals. Bite me if you dare.”

Upon hearing that Yan Jinghuan came from the Great Beginning Realm, Di Jiu immediately started planning to kill this person. Killing one more person from Heaven’s Beyond would mean that he would deal with one less expert in the future and have a feud with the Great Beginning Realm.

“Friend, are you here to cause trouble?” Yan Jinghuan was a Dao Integration expert after all. On top of that, this was Heaven’s Beyond. Thus, he was infuriated by Di Jiu’s arrogant tone.

Di Jiu stopped and looked at Yan Jinghuan before saying, “I’ll count to three and you’ll disappear from my sight. Otherwise, you won’t have to leave anymore.”

“You…” Yan Jinghuan was furious. At first, he had wanted to grasp Di Jiu with his words. After Nuo La and the rest came back, he would settle the score with Di Jiu. He had not expected that, before he could do that, Di Jiu would tell him to get lost so arrogantly.

However, he could only stomach this. Otherwise, he would probably be beaten up by these two reckless people.

“Three!” Once Di Jiu counted to three, he suddenly drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber, which turned into a saber screen and swept toward Yan Jinghuan.

Yan Jinghuan, who had heard when Di Jiu counted to two, wanted to snort and leave behind a bit of aura before turning to leave. He had not expected that Di Jiu would directly count to three and make a move. Had he even counted to three properly?

A terrifying killing intent swept over. Even though Yan Jinghuan was still going through Degeneration, Di Jiu’s saber move could injure him.

Almost as soon as Di Jiu made a move, Ling Xiaoshuang’s domain locked Yan Jinghuan in place.

If this had only been Di Jiu’s domain, Yan Jinghuan could have forcefully broken free and escaped by paying the price of a wound. However, Ling Xiaoshuang’s domain had locked him in place so he could not even budge at the moment.

Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber slashed above Yan Jinghuan’s head!

Pfft! A trail of bloody mist exploded. Yan Jinghuan’s Principal Spirit turned into a white flare on the verge of vanishing. Before this white flare could rush a thousand feet away, a layer of formless force locked on him. That was the Nomological Confinement Array that Di Jiu had set up long ago.

Di Jiu opened his palm and an Essence Energy handprint pinched Yan Jinghuan’s Principal Spirit.

“Daoist, please stop. If you kill me, your feud with Heaven’s Beyond will never be undone…” Yan Jinghuan shouted in shock.

Di Jiu snorted. His Essence Energy handprint dwindled and Yan Jinghuan’s Principal Spirit exploded. His Divine Essence splattered everywhere and turned into a pure Heaven Earth Essence Energy that was fed back to Heaven and Earth.

Upon seeing Di Jiu not hesitate to kill Yan Jinghuan the moment he had come, the other three cultivators turned pale. Ever since Heaven’s Beyond had been dominated by the experts of the Great Beginning Realm, it had never seen a fierce foreign cultivator like Di Jiu.

What they were most worried about at the moment was that Di Jiu would also kill them.

Di Jiu’s gaze landed on the three of them before he suddenly shouted coldly, “Get lost!”

“Senior, the three of them can’t leave.” A husky voice was suddenly heard. A thin female cultivator emerged from the crowd in the distance and shouted as she pointed to the three cultivators.

Upon seeing this thin female cultivator rush over, the three cultivators once again turned pale. They subconsciously wanted to step back, but Di Jiu’s domain had shrouded them. “Are you guys deaf? Didn’t you hear someone say that the three of you can’t go?”

After the three of them stopped, Di Jiu looked at the thin lady and asked, “Is anything the matter? Why can’t the three of them leave?”

He supposed that these three people had killed or plotted against the thin lady’s family. Thus, she wanted to take revenge through him.

Di Jiu did not care if that was the case. He had no excuse for killing the three of them at first. Now that he had an excuse, he naturally would not hesitate to kill the three people before him.

The thin lady hurriedly told Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang with a bow, “I’m Yi Shu. Greetings, Seniors.”

Then, she added with a bow in Di Jiu’s direction, “Senior, are you Di Jiu?”

Puzzled, Di Jiu looked at Yi Shu. He was sure that this was his first time in Heaven’s Beyond and he did not know any cultivators there. How could she know him?

“That’s right. I’m Di Jiu.” Di Jiu nodded and did not hide his identity.

“Senior Di, your friend called Tang Beiwei has been captured by this person.” Knowing that her cultivation level was weak, Yi Shu quickly explained the situation.

Upon seeing Yi Shu point at him, the half-step Dao Integration cultivator in white turned pale. His figure flickered, ready to escape.

Although he was fast, Di Jiu was faster. His domain crushed over and his Heavenly Aqua Saber turned into a white-flare saber aura that bound him.

Ling Xiaoshuang had no intention of helping a mere half-step Dao Integration cultivator. Knowing Di Jiu’s strength very well, she was sure that Di Jiu could easily crush him.

As expected, when the cultivator in white took a step, he was trapped by Di Jiu’s saber domain. Then, the saber flare ripped him and shattered every inch of his domain. A deathly aura shrouded him and the half-step Dao Integration cultivator in white shouted in horror, “Daoist Di Jiu, please stop! My father is Nie Changping…”

Nie Changping? Di Jiu’s saber flare became stagnant and a horrifying saber intent permeated the meridians of the half-step Dao Integration cultivator. In just a second, Di Jiu had sealed his cultivation level.

Ling Xiaoshuang sighed silently, as Di Jiu was a bit stronger than when he had dealt with Jiu You. However, the half-step Dao Integration cultivator in white had been stupefied by Di Jiu. After seeing Di Jiu kill Yan Jinghuan easily, he had lost his sanity and he only wanted to escape. After all, Di Jiu had many ways of restraining the other party.

“You’re Nie Qianzhang?” Di Jiu grabbed the cultivator in white and threw him under his feet.

“No, I’m Nie Baichi.” The half-step Dao Integration cultivator in white deeply regretted his actions. When Di Jiu had grabbed him just now, he had seen that Di Jiu was stronger than him but would not crush him. Unfortunately, he had been shocked to see Di Jiu kill Yan Jinghuan. Therefore, although he wanted to escape with all his might, he was locked by Di Jiu’s saber domain eventually and felt really wronged because of this loss.

Nie Baichi? He was Nie Qianzhang’s elder brother. Casually, Di Jiu threw Nie Baichi under his feet and asked as he pointed to the two late-stage Primordial Chaos cultivators, “Yi Shu, did these two people participate in the capture of my friend?”
