Swish, swish, swish!
As they drew closer, several flags of various colors suddenly flew out from the red light, instantly surrounding Ming Qi!
Nine-Nine God-Slaying Flags!
Generals under the command of Young Master Wushuang of the Divine Weapon Sect, Demon Soldier God-Slaying!
Ming Qi came this time solely for Meng Ling. He disregarded all others and would kill them all!
This fact had been buried in Ming Qi's heart ten years ago. This was the only outcome; there was no other possibility!
Seeing Demon Soldier God-Slaying directly use his true form to try to stop Ming Qi, how could Ming Qi not be furious?
He gently unfurled the large Five Elements Fan in his hand, and the Five Elements' power flashed violently on its surface. The surrounding space was instantly torn apart by the powerful force. Streams of various Five Elements energy converged in the blink of an eye, forming five long dragons, each charging towards the five formation flags.
If you dare to intervene at this moment, you're courting death!
Ming Qi's heart burned with rage. He had waited so long for this moment, a hundred years even longer than before, entering the star field!
Even though centuries had passed, he had never forgotten!
Meng Ling, I'm here! I finally have the strength to protect you!
Ming Qi cried out inwardly, his large Five Elements fan dancing wildly as he unleashed the Five Elements Escape Technique. The next moment, he had broken through the God-Slaying Formation!
Red hair fluttered, red clothing flowed.
A beautiful woman, a fleeting moment.
In a trance, Ming Qi seemed to be transported back to the moment he had met Meng Ling in the Valley of Despair.
The moment their eyes met, all of Meng Ling's movements abruptly froze. Even the half-condensed Yellow Springs Blood Thunder uncontrollably dissipated into thousands of tiny streams of energy.
She couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it.
For ten long years, thousands of days and nights, she had imagined this scenario countless times, but she had never imagined it would actually happen.
But suddenly, one day, he arrived.
"Go!"
Meng Ling was stunned for a moment before her expression returned to its icy calm. Her delicate, jade-like face was devoid of any emotion, not even those two words.
Go?
After all the hard work, he finally made it here? Why leave?
Ming Qi suddenly felt lost. Did his existence no longer have any meaning?
"Come with me!"
Ming Qi quickly regained his composure. He had come to take Meng Ling away, no matter what!
Ten years, a hundred years—so much time had passed!
"The Sect Master is striving for the Martial Emperor realm..."
Seeing the determined look in Ming Qi's eyes, Meng Ling's tone suddenly softened.
Martial Emperor!
Ming Qi was stunned. How could this Wushuang Young Master be so monstrous! Reaching the Martial Emperor realm in just a few years?
The odds of a Martial Emperor against a Martial Emperor aren't great!
No wonder Wushuang Young Master hadn't shown up!
No wonder Meng Ling spoke such cold and heartless words!
Suddenly, Ming Qi let out a wild laugh: "So what if he's a Martial Emperor! Even if he succeeds in his attempt to reach the Martial Emperor level, there's only one outcome today!"
"Arrogant and ignorant boy, you will surely die today!"
The God-Slayer's voice echoed through the air, and the God-Slayer flags under his control flickered, as if trying to break free. The next moment, several streaks of light shot out, instantly surrounding Ming Qi.
The God-Slayer's speed was so swift that even Ming Qi didn't immediately sense it.
As the flag formation formed, several flags simultaneously emitted a glow of varying colors. A vast net instantly formed, enveloping Ming Qi. This net continued to shrink, attempting to completely trap him within the flag formation.
Ming Qi's eyes froze. He didn't immediately use the Five Elements Escape Technique to escape the formation. Instead, he pointed his finger toward the sky, and saw a cluster of stars suddenly fall. A beam of light imbued with star power enveloped him.
Nine Heavens Star Attraction Technique, Star Attraction.
Ming Qi then swung his fist fiercely, striking directly at the rapidly shrinking net.
The power of this punch, amplified by the Star Attraction, completely surpassed Ming Qi's current realm. Like a mountain, the fist swept across the earth with a raging wind, instantly breaking through the net and soaring into the sky.
The light from the fist was like a meteor in the sky, leaving a long rainbow streak in the air before disappearing at the end of the world.
Buzz!!!
A deafening tremor echoed in the air, and the net shattered, quickly disintegrating into several formation flags. Then, with another flicker, it completely merged into one, transforming into a large black banner, escaping deep into the Divine Weapon Sect.
With just one punch, the demon soldier Mi Shen was reduced to his original form!
In the distance, Meng Ling's mouth gaped in shock, speechless with astonishment. Seeing the powerful God-Mie being knocked back to his original form by Ming Qi's single punch, and then fleeing without a care for dignity, even though she wasn't there, she could imagine the power of that punch.
God-Mie was at least a Martial Emperor, albeit a relatively recent arrival, yet he was easily repulsed by a single blow and dared not fight again! This completely overturned her understanding. Even with her vast experience, she had never encountered such a horrifying duel.
"You..."
Meng Ling's expression at this moment was unclear, as she looked at Ming Qi with a complex expression.
"Don't worry. Now that I'm here, everything's under my control!"
Ming Qi smiled warmly at Meng Ling, then said to Lu Ji and Ye Yuancheng beside him, "If you two can't kill your opponent within ten breaths, you'll have to hide your dignity in your pocket."
That single sentence instantly gave Lu Ji and Ye Yuancheng a shot of blood. Just kidding, Ming Qi had knocked a Martial Emperor-level demon soldier back to his original form with a single punch. If two of them couldn't take him down, it would be a shame to take on this old man.
"Damn it! Let's fight!"
Lu Ji shouted, his aura instantly surging. Four enormous phantoms of different shapes rose from the vast expanse of flames, each with its fangs and claws bared, blazing with flames.
Seeing Lu Ji summon his four Martial Spirits, Ye Yuancheng beside him didn't hesitate either. A burst of winter energy erupted from his body, and streams of icy air instantly flew like dragons and snakes, sweeping across the sky as four frost dragons appeared simultaneously.
"I'm sorry I've wronged you all these years."
Looking at Meng Ling, Ming Qi was at a loss for words.
The girl still looked the same as she had when they met over a decade ago, unchanged. Yet, Ming Qi himself had undergone a significant transformation, having weathered many storms and weathered many hardships.
Ming Qi even felt a little uneasy, wondering if, after all this change, he could still hold the position he once held.
"I've always thought about coming here, but I knew that without sufficient strength, coming would only bring you trouble. So I could only endure, endure until this day..."
Ming Qi slowly recounted the past decades.
Listening to Ming Qi's words, Meng Ling's bright eyes sparkled. She tried to speak several times, but ultimately remained silent until Ming Qi finished.
"You...you should leave. My fate is now completely tied to the Divine Weapon Sect..."
Finally, with a deep sigh, Meng Ling spoke the words she most hated to face.
Yes, in past and present lives, her fate had been completely tied to the Divine Weapon Sect from the moment of Young Master Wushuang's coming-of-age ceremony, like a knot that could never be untied.
Ming Qi's brows darkened, and he said, "How dare a mere Divine Weapon Sect interfere with your fate? Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
With that, he turned to face the sudden surge of overwhelming light from the Divine Weapon Sect. Within the glare, a figure could be seen slowly approaching from the void.
Young Master Wushuang, he's here!
