289: Mark of Power

A faint glint flickered in Wu Ning's eyes as he casually put away the Buzhou Divine Token.

“This Divine Token was originally ownerless. Now that it’s in my hands, it’s mine. When did it become yours?”

“So, you’re not willing to hand it over?”

Haotian God Son’s gaze instantly turned dangerous. The Profound Blue Battle Halberd in his hand erupted with an incredibly terrifying Qi, and the space around its blade instantly shattered into a Void Realm black hole, unable to withstand the immense power.

Numerous Void Realm cracks, like a spider web, rapidly spread in all directions.

“I heard you have a Dao Sword in your hand, and you even used it to slay two Immortal Emperors. Take it out.”

“Otherwise, you won’t have any chance!”

Haotian God Son said indifferently.

“Heh heh, confident, aren’t you?”

Wu Ning chuckled, casually summoning the Great Luo Dao Sword. “Go, play with that fellow.”

Buzz!

The Great Luo Dao Sword trembled violently, immediately transforming into a brilliant sword light and charging towards Haotian God Son.

Clang—!

The Great Luo Dao Sword let out a clear, resonant sword cry that echoed through the nine heavens.

Haotian God Son snorted coldly, also throwing his Profound Blue Battle Halberd, letting it fight against the Great Luo Dao Sword.

Clang clang—!

The two Dao Artifacts transformed into two streaks of light, one white and one blue, constantly colliding with incredibly fast speed, unleashing terrifying destructive power that made the distant crowd’s expressions turn solemn.

Just then.

Wu Ning suddenly turned his head to look at the crowd, his gaze sweeping over those who had previously mocked him.

“Daring to speak disrespectfully in front of this Dao Son, your guts are truly big!”

“Kid, you’re still acting arrogant when death is at your doorstep?”

A man in luxurious robes with an arrogant expression sneered. Although his strength was inferior to Haotian God Son and those old monsters, he was still a Peak Immortal Emperor, backed by an ancient Dao lineage, and he didn't put Wu Ning in his eyes at all.

Bang!

In the next instant, his head exploded with a boom.

Wu Ning slapped him across the air, directly pulverizing his entire head into a bloody mist.

His Divine Soul was annihilated, dead beyond dead.

Whoosh!

This sudden scene startled the people around him. After realizing what happened, they immediately retreated frantically.

Especially those who had mocked Wu Ning, all of them turned pale with fright, not expecting Wu Ning to actually act. They no longer cared about anything else and quickly used their trump cards to prepare for escape.

Bang bang bang—!

The next moment, as Wu Ning’s gaze swept over them, these people instantly exploded into bloody mists.

More than ten Source Dao Fruits were casually collected by Wu Ning. The distant crowd was silent, looking at him as if he were a peerless demonic god whose might covered the entire universe.

...

“Tsk tsk, as expected, he’s as ruthless as the rumors say. He even kills onlookers. This guy is truly not to be trifled with!”

Near the Peak of Buzhou Mountain, three figures stood on a thousand-zhang ancient tree. One of them chuckled softly.

This person was the blue-robed youth who had previously snatched a Buzhou Divine Token and then tried to pin the blame on Wu Ning and the other two.

He paused, then looked at another man and said, “Emperor Shang, this guy’s actions are overbearing and Forbidden Existence, quite a match for your Imperial Clan.”

Emperor Shang snorted coldly and ignored him.

The last of the three was a woman, with unparalleled beauty and a cold, aloof demeanor. Her eyes were calm, without the slightest ripple, as if she was indifferent to everything. Her figure was graceful, and her light green immortal dress gently fluttered in the wind, giving people a sense of unapproachable distance.

“This child’s strength is indeed somewhat strange, but if he doesn’t have other trump cards, relying solely on a Dao Sword, he will definitely fall into Haotian God Son’s hands today.”

The woman spoke softly, even her voice carrying a hint of coolness.

She knew Haotian God Son quite well and understood that his methods were far more than just this.

Although the Profound Blue Battle Halberd was strong, he had at least two other killing weapons on him that were far more powerful than the Profound Blue Battle Halberd.

“Hmm?”

The blue-robed youth suddenly frowned, noticing that Wu Ning was looking in their direction:

“Heh, this guy’s perception is really sharp…”

...

Wu Ning curved his lips into a smile, quickly withdrawing his gaze.

“Arrogant brat, you dare to be distracted while fighting this God Son? You’re truly seeking death!” Haotian God Son said with a gloomy expression.

The Profound Blue Battle Halberd and the Great Luo Dao Sword were locked in an inextricable battle in the air, and it was unknown when a victor would be decided. He was already getting impatient, so he took out a black small pagoda again and directly blasted it towards Wu Ning.

The black small pagoda was no more than nine inches tall, but it was enveloped by extremely terrifying Great Dao Law, and the Qi it emitted was several times more terrifying than the Profound Blue Battle Halberd.

Boom—!

The black small pagoda, carrying incomparable and terrifying might, blasted through the Void Realm and fiercely slammed towards Wu Ning, startling Night Solitary Chill behind him, whose expression suddenly changed.

Little Little had a power defense placed on her by Wu Ning, which could isolate all pressure, and her cultivation was too low to react at all.

Clang—!

In an instant, a crimson sword light illuminated the heavens and earth, instantly piercing through the incoming black small pagoda, then cutting through hundreds of millions of miles of Void Realm, leaving a sword mark that spanned the sky, as if it wanted to split the entire world in two.

“This… How is this possible?!”

Haotian God Son’s eyes suddenly constricted. His black small pagoda was actually split in half by that crimson sword light!

This was a top Low Grade Dao Artifact; even a Dao Lord expert would find it difficult to destroy. How could it be destroyed so easily?

What exactly was that crimson sword light?

At the same time, Wu Ning silently put away the rebirth sword.

Then he raised his hand and grabbed the black small pagoda that had been cut in half.

“Bastard, that’s mine!”

Boom!

Haotian God Son roared, his immortal power erupting wildly as he fiercely charged towards Wu Ning.

Slap—!

Wu Ning countered with a slap, directly sending him flying. His purple-gold battle armor instantly shattered. If not for this battle armor, he would have definitely been blown apart by this palm strike.

But even so, he suffered extremely severe injuries.

“Cough cough…”

Haotian God Son forcefully circulated his cultivation to stabilize his body, which worsened his injuries, causing him to cough up blood.

He stared fixedly at Wu Ning, his eyes revealing a crazed killing intent. This was the first time in his life he had been injured so severely.

“This debt, this God Son has noted it down!”

Finally, he suppressed the surging killing intent in his heart, recalled the Profound Blue Battle Halberd, and at the same time, summoned a teleportation divine talisman. With a flash of silver light, he instantly vanished without a trace.

Wu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, not intending to stop him. This guy had the mark of a powerful expert protecting him; the other party was at least a top Great Perfection Dao Lord.

If he killed him, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.

Without any significant personal gain involved, he was unwilling to easily provoke such an enemy.

Moreover, he had the Haotian God Sect behind him. When one is out in the world, one must consider their background. Before he ascended to Heavenly God, he also had to show some respect.

However…

If he didn't have a background like the Haotian God Sect and still dared to provoke him, that would be seeking death!

Wu Ning sneered, and his figure flickered, instantly disappearing from his original spot.
