Chapter 3072 - Nobody Can Stop Me
Tianming ignored the soulbeasts that Chu Tianyu had left behind.
"Li Tianming!" Huang Daoxiong witnessed Qiu Ciling and Chu Tianyu, his rough equals, get almost effortlessly killed by Tianming. Those two were precious disciples of other reverends! Huang Daoxiong's legs uncontrollably shook in fear while he stood behind his servants. "You're so fucked! You won't be able to get away with this now! Don't think that Reverend Lan Yun will offend so many other reverends for your sake!"
"Get away with this? Huang Daoxiong, why do you think I didn't kill you first and left you for last? Do you think I'm going to let you live? I wanted you to experience the pain and shock of losing your friends! I want you to die in my hands after you’ve fully regretted what you've done, got it?" Tianming walked toward Huang Daoxiong, Zhao Ge, and Tao Ying with a sinister cackle.
"Brother, please! Please stop now! Spare my pitiful life!" Li Fan's consciousness was bound in a cosmic chart that was strapped behind Tianming's back. He kept pleading for him to stop.
"Your life is worthless. Why would I bother cherishing it? Stop nagging and watch as I kill them!" Tianming spat.
"He's being protected too well! If you can really kill him, I'll call you my dad!" Li Fan said.
"Do you think someone like you can be my son? Grandson's more like it! Call me Grandpa from now on!" Tianming charged straight at the trio ahead of him. His sheer boldness and the mad look in his eyes caused Huang Daoxiong to mentally crumble. What kind of monster had he provoked?!
"Run!" Huang Daoxiong beckoned. As a skyghoul beastpath from a noble bloodline, it was utterly out of character for him to be so terrified of a mere tainted beastmaster. Zhao Ge and Tao Ying were just as flabbergasted, as they simply hadn't been able to kill Tianming no matter how hard they tried. They were strong, but Tianming's Primordial Chaos Beast abilities managed to keep their distance perpetually wide.
Yet no amount of roaring or raging would work. All they could do was protect Huang Daoxiong as they had been instructed, and wait for Tianming to pounce. But despite their strength, that would prove to be a tall order.
Tianming had no need to continue the massacre at all, but he simply wanted to! If he didn't go all the way and send all these folks to the afterlife, the black smog in his eyes wouldn't fade.
"Aaah! Aaaah!" Huang Daoxiong kept turning back and looking at the cackling white-haired reaper as he fled. Nobody knew that the eldest son of a reverend could make sounds like that, not even himself! The others in the ship knew that some people were fighting, but they pretended like they hadn’t noticed it after seeing gold ring disciples die. Nobody wanted to have anything to do with it.
"I’m the son of Reverend Daolie and a member of House Huang! This black ring disciple has gone insane and killed more than a dozen gold ring holders! Everyone, help us take him down for the sake of Myriadpath Valley! House Huang will definitely reward all of you handsomely!"
Huang Daoxiong loudly yelled his offer to try to get the attention of others, yet people simply didn't believe that someone like him, with two tenth-level cosmic-cartographer bodyguards, was being hunted down by a mere black ring holder. No matter how talented, surely nobody could create a miracle on that scale.
Huang Daoxiong was Zhao Ge and Tao Ying's weakness. Tianming couldn't directly take them on, but he could slip in to get Huang Daoxiong and he had the agility and speed to do just that!
Tianming charged toward his target as the sword-like feathers on his right hand unleashed flaming loti all around. Each was about an inch wide, but they were powerful Skyscorch Wrathloti. Tianming held the loti in his hand and infused lightning within them. Surprisingly, the two elements got along quite well.
"Eeek!"
Tianming watched and smirked as Huang Daoxiong desperately begged for someone to save him. In the next instant, four white lightning arrays appeared beside Huang Daoxiong and his guards!
"Attack them!" Huang Daoxiong yelled. Zhao Ge and Tao Ying didn't even wait for his order before using their abilities to blast away at the arrays! They were completely swallowed up.
But what they didn't expect was that Tianming didn't need the lightning arrays to hop over and instead dashed straight into the midst of the three of them right as the abilities went off, flinging the Skyscorch Wrathlotus toward them! The black lightning around it crackled menacingly as the lotus landed between the trio.
"Watch out!" The lotus exploded and caused a gigantic lotus of flame to bloom, covering a large area of the ship and causing tremors in the immediate area. Huang Daoxiong was sent flying, but his guards were able to endure the blast. The one they were supposed to protect, however, had flown out of their reach, brutalized by the explosion.
Huang Daoxiong's fiend form was covered in infernal flames. "This ability!" His astral organs were so shaken that he could barely breathe. His mind blanked out. Quickly following that, his five irises shook when he sensed danger approaching.
"Aaaah! Save me!"
Zhao Ge and Tao Ying felt their hearts skip a beat. They were frustrated to no end! Tianming was like a fly that kept buzzing around in front of them, but they weren't able to do anything about it. The white-haired pale phantasm and flowerghoul turned back, only to see Tianming appearing right next to Huang Daoxiong.
Huang Daoxiong's body shook. When he looked up, his nightmare descended upon him like a god of death, shrouded in black lightning. Huang Daoxiong knelt and begged as loudly as he could, "Don't kill me! I don't want to die!"
He went too quickly from calling Tianming tainted to being completely terrified and accepting his loss. The contrast was almost painful to behold.
"I defeated you fair and square and got first place, yet you keep trying to break the rules and try to kill me! Do you think begging for your life will work?!" Tianming was so angry that he seemed even more bestial than Huang Daoxiong.
The specter actually dared to stand up and resist, and Zhao Ge and Tao Ying were also rushing over! But alas, Tianming was even faster. He used Imperator's Mural, causing the six flameyellow divinity imperatores to descend. The sword projection of the move was bolstered by the power of ten totems and nine cosmic impulses as it slammed into Huang Daoxiong's head! "If I want to kill you, nobody can stop me! Not even the lord of the heavens himself!"
Huang Daoxiong cried blood and tears nonstop, feeling endlessly wronged and confused. Either way, Tianming didn't need him to accept his fate. "Before absolute power, background or status are nothing! What’re you even worth before me when the tiger skin comes off?!"
