Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1164 - 1157: Anyone Can Launch a Sneak Attack
The golden Three-blade Knife of Ji Yijian didn't unleash a brilliant Sword Light and Sword Force, but when the Three-blade Knife was wielded, the rules of this cosmic space seemed to change in an instant.
It wasn't exactly a Domain, yet the golden Three-blade Knife carried an imposing aura of unrivaled dominance, as if it would become the ruler of this space upon its appearance.
Everything existing within this space had to bow under the Source Principle of Slaughter wielded by the Three-blade Knife.
Ding Huan was filled with admiration; the duel between strong individuals indeed transcended mere slaughter, becoming a true battle of mastery and control.
It wasn't about striking the opponent down with a single blow right at the start.
Even though Ji Yijian's aura was ferocious, Di Xin faced Ji Yijian's killing intent without fear.
He still didn't resort to the Sequence of the Great Universe but instead summoned a massive net.
Once the giant net was deployed, it also stirred up countless Source Principles.
It was clearly a move to contest for control over this cosmic space with Ji Yijian's Three-blade Knife.
Boom!
The Source Principles of slaughter from both clashed, and Dao Rhythms crisscrossed, countless Source Principles shattered, making the cosmic space tremble.
At this moment, an endless barrage of Slaughter Sword Light abruptly erupted.
Ding Huan secretly exclaimed in awe.
This boundless Slaughter Sword Light was composed of Ji Yijian's Great Dao Source Principles. These Source Principles could either advance to seize control over the Heaven and Earth Rules of this cosmic space, turning its Cosmic Origin Principles into their own.
Or they could retreat, transforming these principles into countless Slaughter Sword Light to tear apart the opponent's space of Source Principles of slaughter.
Di Xin was clearly not someone easy to deal with; the Great Dao Source Principles his net had stirred collided with Ji Yijian's and similarly transformed into tens of thousands of Void vortexes.
Each vortex could swallow up one of Ji Yijian's Slaughter Sword Light.
No matter how stable the space of the First Universe was, under the stand-off between these two's Great Daos, it continuously cracked.
Previously, Ji Yijian looked down upon Di Xin, not even taking him seriously.
Now it seemed Ji Yijian did not overpower Di Xin. At least in Ding Huan's eyes, the two were evenly matched, neither one was superior.
The violent Taoist Aura finally exploded.
Under the trembling space, the tearing Killing Dao Rhythm spilled from the center of their confrontation.
Ding Huan and Qu Yi stood not far from the center where Ji Yijian and Di Xin were fighting. This violent Great Dao force instantly struck against the Source Principle Protecting Array around Ding Huan and Qu Yi.
The Protecting Array was directly torn apart; Ding Huan spat out a Blood Arrow, and even Qu Yi spat out a Blood Arrow as well, her face pale as paper.
Clearly, Ding Huan could not protect Qu Yi.
Followed by the Great Dao's violent force sweeping Ding Huan and Qu Yi away, like kites flailing uncontrollably.
Moreover, Ding Huan's Taoist Aura was rapidly declining.
Qu Yi clutched Ding Huan's arm, knowing that Ding Huan was likely no match for either Ji Yijian or Di Xin.
Yet Ding Huan's power shouldn't be this weak; could the aftershock from these two's duel easily send Ding Huan flying?
Ji Yijian also noticed Ding Huan getting blown away, recalling how he spewed a Blood Arrow when attacked before.
But that time he didn't look as wretched as now.
Back then, Ji Yijian blocked most of the Dao Rhythm impact from the Universe-Cleaving Flag, and Ding Huan's Flying Treasure's protecting array was not simple either, consuming a portion.
That allowed Ding Huan to only spit out a mouthful of blood.
It seems that was the moment when Ding Huan got heavily injured.
This time, Ji Yijian finally realized Ding Huan was very weak, weaker than he had imagined by several levels.
Previously, he thought the gap between them was slight, but now he knew he was wrong.
The difference between Ding Huan and himself was like heaven and earth.
Di Xin watched as Ding Huan was blown away by the aftershock of his and Ji Yijian's Great Dao confrontation, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Now, Ding Huan's performance was normal.
Before, when he leveraged the Universe-Cleaving Flag to ambush Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan only paid the price of a spurt of blood, which was abnormal.
Di Xin had previously witnessed Ding Huan's strength; no matter how talented he might be among the Vast Tao Spirits, it was impossible for him to improve his strength to this degree in less than ten thousand years.
In truth, Ding Huan was definitely not a Tao Spirit accompanying the creation of the Vast.
Di Xin's eyes weren't blind; he could see it clearly.
If not a Tao Spirit accompanying the Vast's creation, even gifting Ding Huan a Yuan Vein River would only leave him sighing at the river.
This wasn't something effort and talent could resolve.
Nevertheless, knowing Ji Yijian was with Ding Huan made it less surprising.
Ji Yijian, feigning weakness, ranked tenth among the top ten Realm Lords back then, which was already unusual.
This guy's strength couldn't be inferior to the third Realm Lord Qu Ba.
When he attempted to ambush them, after the Universe-Cleaving Flag tore apart the Source Principle position of Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot, Ji Yijian must have been prepared.
The fact that the Universe-Cleaving Flag couldn't ambush Ji Yijian was normal; it would be abnormal if it had been successful.
Because Ji Yijian defended at the forefront, letting Ding Huan narrowly escape with his life.
Di Xin knew he couldn't kill Ji Yijian.
At least not now.
If it were possible to kill Ji Yijian, he wouldn't have waited until today.
He had to recover to his peak before attempting to kill Ji Yijian.
He couldn't kill Ji Yijian, but suppressing him was still quite easy.
Today, he wasn't here to kill Ji Yijian; he was here to kill Ding Huan. Di Xin was determined not to leave his task unfinished.
If it weren't for the three ants Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu, how could he be this weak?
He had painstakingly prepared for so many years, only to be thwarted by these three ants; killing them wasn't a sufficient payback for the vendetta.
The humiliation and pain of having his brow split open by Ding Huan's knife back then couldn't be erased from his Dao Heart without killing Ding Huan.
Di Xin's Tao Domain was driven by the Tao Will, and the Dao Yuan was frantically layered.
Ji Yijian's Tao Domain and the Slaughter Domain of the Three-blade Knife merged, forming an indestructible defensive space wall.
He realized that Di Xin wanted to kill Ding Huan.
He didn't intend to help.
If Ding Huan had only this much ability, he wouldn't be able to help him at all. In that case, whether Ding Huan lived or died had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, although he was resisting Di Xin, he was pondering why earlier, when Di Xin used the Cosmic Origin Principle to ambush, Ding Huan only spat out a mouthful of blood.
Could it be that most of the attack was blocked by him?
No, at most he blocked half...
Even if he blocked 70% of the attack force, Ding Huan should still be able to withstand 30% without being blown away by the attack's shockwave and spitting out blood.
The relationship between Qu Yi and Ding Huan was clearly unusual.
If Ding Huan was pretending, then Qu Yi certainly wouldn't have been blasted into spitting blood.
In that case, Ding Huan's true strength was likely overestimated by him.
Ji Yijian was indeed not mistaken. After pushing back Ji Yijian, Di Xin's figure instantly appeared beside Ding Huan, punching towards Ding Huan's head.
The process took less than half a breath. Not to mention, Ji Yijian had no intention of helping Ding Huan stop it.
Even if Ji Yijian had helped Ding Huan block it, he probably still couldn't stop it.
Because he knew Ding Huan's background and his limits well.
So when Di Xin struck, he barely regarded Ding Huan, his killing intent fully charged, not even considering Ding Huan's counterattack. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Entering the space where Ding Huan was, Di Xin felt something was wrong.
It was as if he'd plunged into a massive space quagmire, where all the Cosmic Origin Principles had changed. This was not the Cosmic Origin Principle he was familiar with.
This was undoubtedly someone else's Origin Principle Domain.
He had voluntarily sent himself into someone else's Origin Principle Domain territory; was this delivering food?
Not good, he was tricked.
Di Xin couldn't fathom how Ding Huan could achieve this because reaching Ding Huan's level required accompanying the vastness with a Dao Spirit.
In an instant, changing the universe's origin principles of one's domain to their own Grand Dao origin principle was something even he couldn't do.
How did Ding Huan do it?
Ding Huan's background was clearly understood; he couldn't be a Vast Origin Dao Spirit.
Di Xin didn't have the time to think.
A Netherworld River from the Vast Void descended.
Di Xin's overwhelming killing intent was wrapped by Ding Huan's Origin Principle Space, posing almost no threat to Ding Huan, while Ding Huan's Netherworld River locked onto Di Xin's vitality.
Di Xin's heart chilled.
Today, he capsized in the gutter.
Hurry and retreat…
Di Xin forcibly retracted his killing intent. If he continued, what awaited him was God Soul Annihilation.
He couldn't achieve immortality, and if his Vast Dao Spirit Body were destroyed, recovering to today's level would be difficult.
Ding Huan's eyes no longer held the previous panic and fear.
What replaced it was a frigid killing intent.
He paid the price of spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood, even allowing Qu Yi to pay the price of spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood as well.
He was waiting for this moment.
Because he didn't want Di Xin to leave completely.
Neither Lan Xiaobu nor Mo Wuji, without opportunities like his, would face certain death against the current Di Xin.
Given Di Xin's capabilities, finding him meant he'd also find Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu without much difficulty.
Ding Huan regretted appearing overly powerful on the Cosmic Pot; he should've spat more than one mouthful of Essence Blood then.
Therefore, when Ding Huan spat the second mouthful of blood, being blasted away with Qu Yi, he worried that Di Xin wouldn't make a move to ambush him.
Unexpectedly, despite his display on the Cosmic Pot, Di Xin still overlooked him and dared to attack.
How arrogant must this guy be, or how much did he underestimate him?
Di Xin wanted to retreat from Ding Huan's Netherworld River's killing range.
Unfortunately, the space here was Ding Huan's Origin Principle Space.
Earlier, he didn't regard Ding Huan, leading him into Ding Huan's Origin Principle Space.
Now, wanting to exit Ding Huan's Origin Principle Space required at least three breaths of time.
Even a fool would know Ding Huan wouldn't grant him three breaths of time.
Di Xin could only throw a punch.
This punch not only failed to unleash Di Xin's strength, it even added a breath of time to his retreat.
He had no choice.
"Puff!"
The Netherworld River, with a golden Sword Curtain, descended in a sheen of blood.
Ding Huan's Breaking Tribulation Blade tore through half of Di Xin's body.
From the outside, it seemed like Di Xin delivered himself for Ding Huan to slash.
Ding Huan didn't wait for Di Xin to grab the severed half-body; his divine will wrapped it up, and he claimed the portion he had slashed off.
The remainder of Di Xin's body vanished in the blood light, not even taking his giant net.
(Goodnight, fellow Daoists!)
