Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

“Ah…” Both Po Xu and Yu Hao were stunned this time. Yu Hao was locked, but why was Po Xu locked as well? Besides him, all the people on the square were stunned too. Such a thing had never happened in the past. According to the rules of the Dao Abyss, as long as one was proved to be falsely accused, the locked person would be released on the square. However, although someone had stepped forward to say that Po Xu had been falsely accused, that person had been locked ten times longer. Po Xu had yet to be released, which had never happened before.

The rules of the Dao Abyss had always been implemented.

“I’m sorry, Dao Lord Di. I can only help you this far.” Yu Hao, who had been nailed, sighed. How could he help when he would be locked for 10,000 years?

“Brother Ah Jiu, don’t be rash.” Po Xu’s voice was transmitted to Di Jiu in time. There were too many third-step experts there. No matter how strong Di Jiu was, he was still alone.

Di Jiu did not say anything while he frantically set up nomological array flags. In fact, he had already set up countless of them on the square. However, he had to make a move on this guy and continue to set up even more nomological array flags.

Di Jiu would not do anything now. The way things were done there had shown him that this matter wouldn’t go well.

In the past, he had killed hundreds of Dao Integration experts in the Lost Dao World. So what if he killed dozens of third-step experts today?

Di Jiu wanted to set up the Confinement Killing Array before he made a move. However, the other party clearly wouldn’t give him this chance. Di Jiu had only set up hundreds of array flags before four figures landed before him and blocked his way.

After he used the nomological array flags to set up the Confinement Killing Array chain without batting an eyelid, he looked calmly at the four cultivators and asked, “Why are you guys doing this? Did I break the rules of the Dao Abyss?”

He knew none of the four cultivators, but Di Jiu was sure that the four of them were true third-step experts. The two male cultivators standing in front of Di Jiu were tall and slim. One of them was wearing white, while the other was wearing black. They looked like the Black and White Impermanence¹.

One of the two cultivators standing behind Di Jiu was incomparably fat, while the other one looked like the most handsome out of the four of them. He had long, elegant hair and was carrying a long spear on his back.

This battle would be the right time to test his combat power. When he made a move later on, he would have to kill one of the third-step experts as soon as possible and strive to end the battle before the other party could react. Otherwise, he was sure that the experts besieging him would increase.

If he was confined and put in a disadvantageous position, the cultivators who did not want to besiege him would also come over and do so eventually. This was because if they wanted to survive in the Dao Abyss, they would have to use the willpower of the controller of this place.

The slim cultivator in white in front of him said expressionlessly, “First, you used the connate Dharma treasure and deceived the Dao trading hall. Then, you openly attacked someone on the Dao Abyss Square and seriously injured Yi Ji…”

Di Jiu sighed. As expected, they were talking really shamelessly when they really wanted to kill him.

“Are you guys going to lock me here until I repent?” Di Jiu decided to kill the third-step expert in black on the right first.

“That’s right. We won’t do anything now, but you can’t go anywhere else…” Before the slim cultivator in white finished his sentence, he suddenly sent a voice transmission to the other three cultivators. “Kill him.”

The four of them had formed a rapport long ago. While they settled the score with Di Jiu, they were going to make a move on him. This was the willpower of the Sacred Lord. There was no point in reasoning with a person like Di Jiu, nor did they need to abide by any rules. They had to sneak an attack and harm him first. According to the Sacred Lord, Di Jiu was crafty and cunning. He could not be regarded as an ordinary cultivator with good opportunities.

To their surprise, when the slim cultivator in white told the rest to make a move, Di Jiu had already made a move.

Di Jiu’s Strangulation Array was instantly activated, and he immediately took out at least thousands of high-grade and supreme-grade saber weapons. Di Jiu had chosen a target long ago. The first person he would kill was the third-step expert in black. However, his Heavenly Aqua Saber still slashed toward the one in white.

Even though the Nomological Confinement Killing Array had been activated, Di Jiu was sure that these four people would use their Spiritual Force to seal his Heavenly Aqua Saber. As long as his Heavenly Aqua Saber slashed toward the third-step expert in white, the other three would work together to deal with him while focusing on the cultivator in white. It was now time for him to kill the third-step expert in black.

“This person set up the Confinement Killing Divine Array long ago…” The fat cultivator bellowed. Then, a huge hammer struck Di Jiu.

Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Divine Array, which had been set up by the nomological array flags, erupted into countless strangulation nomological blade flares at that moment. A huge hammer blasted that strangulation blade flare while bursts of ear-piercing explosions were heard in the void.

Di Jiu made a move in an instant before the other four attacked as well. Meanwhile, their space was completely covered by Di Jiu’s nomological array flags. The cultivators outside could only sense waves and waves of terrifying killing intent as well as the bursts of explosions in that space.

Right now, nobody would use their Spiritual Force to permeate Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Divine Array.

Since Di Jiu had set up the Confinement Killing Divine Array in secret there, he was definitely not a simple person. In fact, when Di Jiu had slashed Yi Ji previously, everyone had known that Di Jiu was not simple. Nobody would extend their Spiritual Force to pry on the war before victory was achieved. Not only would they offend Di Jiu by doing that, but they would also offend the other four third-step experts. If they were unlucky, they might cause a disaster and get attacked by the Confinement Killing Divine Array.

Even if someone permeated his Confinement Killing Divine Array with their Spiritual Force, Di Jiu would not be afraid. If the Divine Array he had set up with the nomological array flags could be so easily permeated by the Spiritual Force, he wouldn’t have used this trump card.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In an instant, a few Dharma treasures bombarded Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber. The Saber Dao killing aura of Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber had been completely locked by a few third-step experts and could not erupt.

Although Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Divine Array could make the four third-step experts lose their conformation temporarily, it could not completely stop their rapport.

As the Heavenly Aqua Saber’s killing aura was bombarded by the four of them, Di Jiu spit out an arrow of blood. He had no intention of withdrawing his Heavenly Aqua Saber at all. He controlled thousands of saber weapons and used them to strike the cultivator in black. At the same time, he took out his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

When he wrote the huge word ‘realm’ in the void, it instantly took form and completely locked the cultivator in black in this realm.

A word breaking tens of thousands of Dao! A realm drawn with Yin and Yang!

The cultivator in white reacted by bellowing, “His saber aura definitely can’t be suppressed that easily! He has backup!”

When he said that, everyone, including him, understood that Di Jiu’s goal had not been the third-step expert in white but the third-step expert in black right from the start.

By the time the three of them came back to their senses, thousands of saber weapons had transformed into a level-nine Strangulation Divine Array that struck the cultivator in black.

“His target is…” Just as the third-step expert in black was about to say that he was the target, thousands of saber weapons tore his domain into pieces.

Even though he had been locked by the ‘realm’ word written by Di Jiu’s Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, the cultivator in black could still rush to the edge of the domain. The Dharma treasure in his hand was about to tear Di Jiu’s domain.

At the same time, Di Jiu felt a terrifying killing intent strike the middle of his back.

Countless nomological major arrays instantly set up a defensive shield behind Di Jiu, who leaned his figure and kicked with his divine power called the Jumbo Footprint.

Just as the cultivator in black was about to tear the edge of Di Jiu’s domain, Di Jiu kicked him back. His internal organs twisted as if they were going to explode. However, this was a secondary issue. In Di Jiu’s array, his physical body was turned into scraps of bloody mists. Even though he was a third-step expert, he could not resist at all.

“Pfft!” At the same time, Di Jiu’s Nomological Defense Array shattered. The long spear pierced Di Jiu’s valiant physical body and drew blood.
