Sowhere in the Grey Realm.
In the vast desolate land, scattered Star Beasts occasionally appear.
At this mont, two figures flew in, one leading and one following.
One was a northern youth with fair skin and golden curly hair.
The other was a middle-aged man with rugged features, broad shoulders supporting a long robe tinged with red, exuding a slightly cold aura.
This man, unexpectedly, was the forr Vermilion Bird Third Rank, Liu Dongming!
At this mont, Liu Dongming and his companion were speeding along without any unnecessary words.
Upon reaching a certain place, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.
The two stopped, and the golden-haired youth, Fidis, glanced ahead and chuckled, "There really are quite a few untransford Dentia Star Beasts in this desolate land of the Grey Realm..."
In the next instant, the ground cracked open, and a gigantic Earth-shattering Divine Bull suddenly erged before the two.
"Roar!!"
The Earth-shattering Divine Bull roared angrily, causing rocks to fly and ripples of air to spread!
The terrifying Star Power of Burning Sun Level pressed down a large swath of surrounding trees.
The robes of Liu Dongming and his companion flapped loudly in the wind!
Yet neither Liu Dongming nor Fidis showed any intention of dodging and stood calmly in place.
Liu Dongming’s expression was indifferent, while Fidis’ eyes gradually took on a bloodthirsty hue.
"Running into us is truly a Misfortune for you..." Fidis smirked.
And in that brief mont, the Earth-shattering Divine Bull had already raised a stone pillar totem over twenty ters long and slamd it down upon the two!
The stone pillar totem shone with a dull yellow light, and this strike was unexpectedly enhanced by [Heavy Strike], increasing its Strength fourfold as it swiftly crashed down towards Liu Dongming and his companion!
However, the imagined earth-shattering sound and rumbling did not occur.
A Clear Wind blew past as Liu Dongming lifted the Iron Sword at his waist, using its Sword Leader to hold up the stone pillar totem.
The stone pillar totem, dozens of tis larger than Liu Dongming, was blocked by the Iron Sword and hung suspended overhead without moving an inch!
The Earth-shattering Divine Bull’s eyes widened in shock.
But Liu Dongming’s right hand swung upwards, and the colossal Divine Bull, along with the stone pillar totem, was effortlessly sent flying!
"Roar?!"
The Earth-shattering Divine Bull was both surprised and enraged, attempting to steady itself.
At that mont, sensing sothing, the Earth-shattering Divine Bull hurriedly wrapped its arms around the stone pillar totem to shield itself.
However, in the next instant, a sharp Silver Light flashed by.
The totem broke apart, blood splattered, and the Earth-shattering Divine Bull, along with the stone pillar totem it held, was cleaved in half on the spot!
Turning back, Liu Dongming had already sheathed his sword with a "clang" and continued forward without even glancing at the Earth-shattering Divine Bull.
Fidis clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of Liu Third Rank, truly impressive Strength, no wonder the Holy Temple thinks so highly of you... hmm?"
Before Fidis could finish, an unsheathed Iron Sword was already resting on his shoulder.
The sword hilt drew out a section, revealing the sharp blade that pressed against Fidis’ neck, emitting a chilling aura that made one tremble.
"I’ve said before, don’t call Third Rank again." Liu Dongming spoke coldly.
Fidis felt a slight chill in his heart and smiled, "I misspoke... Mr. Liu."
Liu Dongming glanced at him before retracting the Iron Sword and continuing forward.
"Next ti, I’ll kill you."
Watching Liu Dongming’s back, Fidis’ eyes glistened with a touch of coldness.
Even if the blessing succeeds, it’ll be fine; but if it fails, don’t bla for devouring you as food!
Shaking his head, Fidis followed with a smile.
Liu Dongming proceeded directly past the split corpse of the Earth-shattering Divine Bull.
anwhile, Fidis licked his lips, "Even though it’s trash, it’s premium food, and I’m a bit hungry..."
Fidis’ mouth suddenly opened wide, expanding rapidly to dozens of tis its size, and he took several bites on the corpse of the Earth-shattering Divine Bull.
In no ti, the corpse of the Earth-shattering Divine Bull was completely consud, leaving nothing behind, not even bones, only large bloodstains and so scraps of flesh.
Fidis’s neck contracted, retracting his mouth as he wiped the blood and at off his mouth, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Fresh beef, really nice, even the bones are crunchy~"
Liu Dongming’s gaze fell upon Fidis, a flicker of disgust in his eyes.
Fidis grinned, "Mr. Liu, you need not look down on . We’re all driven by Strength to perform ugly acts, there isn’t much difference between us... Otherwise, we wouldn’t end up on the sa path."
Though he had been warned earlier, Fidis wasn’t concerned about speaking these words.
He was rely stating a fact, Liu Dongming wouldn’t act against him because of this.
Sure enough, Liu Dongming soon withdrew his gaze.
"You’re right." Liu Dongming looked ahead and said, "Lead the way; after all these days, we should be nearing our destination."
Fidis smiled and then stepped forward, "We’re almost there."
The two continued for a while and arrived in a series of undulating basins.
Fidis took out a talisman to send a signal.
Soon, three people approached from the surrounding mountains.
An old man at the Chongyang Realm, and two others at the Early Sun Realm.
The old man examined Liu Dongming and asked Fidia, "Lord Fidia, is this the one from the Great Fla?"
Fidis chuckled, "That’s right, this is Mr. Liu, Liu Dongming."
The old man nodded, raised his hand to take out a crystal and activated it.
The crystal shimred with brilliance, a large amount of Spirit Light shot out, and in an instant, a barrier ford ahead.
Within the barrier, silver light surged, and a rotating space portal appeared.
"Mr. Liu, please." Fidis looked at Liu Dongming, grinned, "Escort you back, and my task will also be completed."
Liu Dongming and the others were about to enter the space portal within the barrier.
Just then, Liu Dongming suddenly stopped.
"What... hmm?"
Fidis was stunned and imdiately noticed sothing, stopping as well.
The next mont, a flash of black light, a Sword Qi shooting a thousand ters suddenly slashed past their front!
Even a corner of Fidis’s clothing was sliced off!
Fidis’s face darkened, and he turned his head towards the left.
From a distance, a luxurious two-zhang tall silver door suddenly appeared in midair.
In front of the door stood a man and a woman in midair.
"Transford Star Beast?" Fidis was quite surprised.
Su Yuan’s ring flashed, and a black robe with vermilion patterns, identical to Liu Dongming’s, covered his body.
"Just in ti." Su Yuan held a sword in his right hand, gazing at Liu Dongming and others from afar, "I didn’t expect... it really is Liu Third Rank..."
"Oh? Turns out it’s soone from the Sky Patrol Departnt." Fidis laughed, clapping hands in praise, "Caught up even here? Truly impressive!"
Liu Dongming examined Su Yuan, "Who are you?"
"Vermilion Bird Imperial, Su Yuan."
"Su Yuan..."
Liu Dongming vaguely felt a sense of familiarity, as if he’d heard the na sowhere before.
Next to him, Fidis was even more puzzled, "Hmm? Mr. Liu, you haven’t t him?"
Liu Dongming replied nonchalantly, "Perhaps he’s a new expert recruited by the departnt."
Su Yuan left Ruan Ruan to watch Ba Shu and used the Water Mirror Technique to record the scene before them, then stepped forward into the void.
"Liu Third Rank, are you defecting to Qiguang?" Su Yuan asked outright.
Liu Dongming responded flatly, "A Star Card Master should seek greater strength, all else is secondary, why be constrained by alignnt?"
"You’re quite unapologetic."
"You’ve chased here; everything’s clear, so there’s no need to hide anymore."
Su Yuan’s eyes went cold, "Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say!"
A person like this, having co this far, Su Yuan clearly didn’t think he could be persuaded back, only needed to confirm the betrayal.
As for the rest...
Su Yuan brandished the Demon Saber, eyes filled with Sword Intent!
"Slash!"
With a single stroke, the Void Sword Qi slashed out violently!
Liu Dongming raised his Iron Sword, directly using the scabbard to shatter the Void Sword Qi.
Su Yuan’s eyes focused, Divine Wind coiled around his body, and in an instant, countless Void Sword Qi erupted like a torrent!
Such power, even the three at the Burning Sun level, including the blue-haired old man, tensed up.
As the torrent of Sword Qi was about to engulf Liu Dongming and the others, suddenly, a large Blood Bowl opened wide and bit into the tide of Sword Qi.
A clattering noise rang out intensely.
In re monts, the tidy, bright teeth of the maw shattered all the Sword Qi!
"Oh?" Su Yuan squinted slightly, watching the large mouth erge from Fidis’s neck.
The mouth spoke human words: "Mr. Liu, the passage is open, and there are people waiting outside.
Please leave first; as for this pursuer... he’ll stay and play with for a while!"
Liu Dongming examined Su Yuan once more, then turned and stepped into the portal.
"Much obliged then."
