657: It's hard to defeat the opponent with one move, so there is only one option: escape!

The surrounding space and time seemed to completely solidify at this moment.

Under the almost suffocating gaze of Huang Daotian and the others, the white-robed figure they least wanted to face emerged from a spatial vortex that had appeared out of nowhere.

A faint, playful smile hung at his lips, and he looked down at them with an air of condescension.

“Kong Wudao!?!?”

Someone, it’s unclear who, was the first to recover, letting out a shriek of extreme terror.

It wasn’t just fear of Kong Wudao.

There was also the confusion about his sudden appearance before them.

Had their plan been discovered?

But how could that be?!

The plan they had secretly formulated had always been extremely covert.

And it had been carried out entirely in secret; how could it have been so easily detected?

Kong Wudao’s lips still held a “benevolent” curve as his indifferent gaze swept over the few people below.

The initial world of the Emperor Road had a great restrictive power on Cultivators; the strength a Cultivator could exert here was often suppressed to 70% of their original power.

Not to mention he was fighting outnumbered; he wouldn't have an advantage in any aspect.

But so what?

Since it had been confirmed that these guys intended to make a move on him, why keep them around?

As beings who had once competed on the same stage as him in the former Destruction Era, these guys also had some tricks up their sleeves.

Killing these guys directly before they could mature on the Emperor Road would better prevent them from affecting his plans.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Kong Wudao reached out a hand towards the Void Realm.

The Myriad Manifestation Divine Weapon tore through the air, then continuously condensed and compressed, finally transforming into a three-foot-long azure blade shimmering with sharp cold light.

“It’s been a million years since we last met, after all. This first Sword Qi strike will serve as a greeting gift for you all.”

As he spoke, Kong Wudao’s aura surged, and endless Sword Dao runes danced and ascended within his brilliant divine eyes.

After days of accumulation, the hunting process of the Three Thousand Great Daos was almost complete.

For almost every Dao, he was just one step away from truly completing the final hunt and becoming the master of all Daos in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.

But even if this goal had not yet been achieved, he was already able to control many Dao Laws for his own use.

Boom!!

A single Sword Qi gleam reflected the Yellow Springs!

The magnificent Sword Qi was like a river of stars falling into the mortal world, its surging flames rushing straight into the heavens.

The terrifying might even directly shattered the Law barrier Kong Wudao had condensed, rapidly spreading and raging in all directions, pulverizing space and dissolving runes wherever it passed.

This caused many other Prodigies still in the initial world of the Emperor Road to collectively cast looks of both fear and shock towards the area.

In their almost stunned gazes, a brilliant sun seemed to crash down in the distance.

Whether it was an illusion or not, they even felt the entire initial world of the Emperor Road tremble!

Such a scene further scared many people out of their wits.

One must know that the initial world of the Emperor Road itself had a great restrictive effect on Cultivators.

Furthermore, it covered an extremely vast area, almost boundless, making it nearly impossible for a young Cultivator to unleash such immense power here.

But the Law storm, rising into the sky in the distance, engulfing almost everything, and still continuously expanding, told them that this impossible fact had indeed occurred.

“Could it be… the legendary Kong Wu Dao Divine Son has made a move…?”

Some more sensitive individuals had already guessed part of the truth.

Rumble!

Deep within the churning, boiling Sword Qi storm, Huang Daotian and the others, who had taken Kong Wudao’s full-power Sword Qi head-on, were not in much better shape.

They had simply not expected Kong Wudao to unleash his full power on them the moment he appeared.

Even though each of their reaction speeds was fast enough, whether they unleashed their trump cards or activated their protective Dao weapons, they all suffered injuries of varying degrees.

There were even two unfortunate souls, successors of Immortal Lineage Factions, Supreme Prodigies who, in any other era, could have become minor giants on the imperial road rankings.

They hadn’t even understood what was happening before Kong Wudao instantly killed them in a single exchange!

A toad still twitches a few times after it dies.

But the lives of these Prodigies among Prodigies, Prodigies among Prodigies, were even less significant than a toad’s!

“Kong Wudao! Are you out of your mind!?”

“We were somewhat acquainted a million years ago, after all. Now that we meet again on the Emperor Road, you immediately attack us. Isn’t that a bit too overbearing and unreasonable!?”

Wiping away the blood spilling from his lips, Huang Daotian’s face was incredibly twisted as he roared.

Evidently, he still held some hope.

Hoping that Kong Wudao didn’t know they intended to gang up on him.

He deliberately feigned an accusatory tone towards Kong Wudao, but in reality, he was diverting the topic and probing.

Such a naive and simple thought was naturally seen through by Kong Wudao at a glance.

“Huang Daotian, it’s been many years since we last met. You are indeed as hypocritical as ever.”

“Why I attacked you, don’t you know in your heart?”

Although he was mocking, Kong Wudao’s movements were not slow at all.

The sooner he dealt with these guys, the sooner he could begin his plans.

In the eyes of others, these people were all true successors of Immortal Lineage Factions with extraordinary backgrounds, to be avoided if possible.

But in his eyes, these guys were just slightly larger ants; crushing them was nothing.

“You…”

Huang Daotian’s expression shifted; how could he not know that Kong Wudao had already learned of their plan to gang up on him?

But why would this happen?

He had always been very cautious in implementing this plan.

He even chose the time when Kong Wudao was still in the Innate Realm to carry it out.

This was precisely to prevent Kong Wudao from being too cunning and detecting their intentions through various small clues.

But even so, their plan was still exposed!

Could it be…?

Huang Daotian’s pupils suddenly constricted like needles; a guess had already formed in his mind.

Nangong Xinyue?

Damn it!

How could he have forgotten about her?!

Nangong Xinyue, that woman, when going all out, could reach at least 60%, or even 70%, of Kong Wudao’s combat power!

And she was like someone with a serious illness; whenever something involved Kong Wudao, she would intervene like a madwoman!

Their plan was most likely discovered by Nangong Xinyue and reported to Kong Wudao!

However, they no longer had time for regret.

Now that Kong Wudao had discovered their plan, they were left with only two choices: give up, or fight him to the death!

But given Kong Wudao’s personality, even if they abandoned their plan to Siege him, he would definitely find ways to retaliate in the future, making them die in a hundred or a thousand times more miserable ways!

Therefore, it seemed they had two choices, but in reality, they could only go all the way down one path!

“Quick! Kong Wudao will definitely not let us escape!”

Huang Daotian hastily ordered, “Quickly have the Cultivators behind you who haven’t entered the Emperor Road yet make a move! Let’s restrict Kong Wudao together!”

That’s right, they had no confidence in killing Kong Wudao.

Instead, they could only try to restrict him and find an opportunity to escape!
