Ninth in The World - Chapter 176

Chapter 176






Another red flare suddenly landed in Qi Qi's hand . The man frowned .

Given his position and status, no one was allowed to send this kind of flying sword communication slip to him, unless it was something serious . Thus, receiving one after so many years was a big deal . It was simply outrageous that he had obtained two in such a short period of time .

If the news in the first communication slip had not been significant, he would have flared up .

When Qi Qi's Spiritual Force scanned the flying sword, his expression changed . He suddenly stood up .

"What's the matter, sir?" Qi Chenxiang could not help but ask .

Both Qi Qi and Qi Chenxiang were Void Spirit Realm Cultivators . However, Qi Qi was steadier than Qi Chenxiang, so he would not get shocked unless this was an extremely big deal .

Killing intent dissipated around Qi Qi, who threw the flying sword at Qi Chenxiang and said, "Di Jiu destroyed the Qi Family's Commercial Building in the Sky Market City . He left no soul alive . Qi Zhiyi, Qi Fang, Qi Yunhe… They are all dead…"

"What?" Every Qi Family Cultivator in the meeting hall stood up in shock upon hearing this . This news was more shocking than the merger of the Polar Night Continent and the Half-Screen Continent .

"Didn't Di Jiu die in the Sky Screen? Even if he was still alive, how could his strength be that scary?" asked a mid-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator incredulously .

"He's already come to the Thorn Ocean City by using the teleportation array, so he should have arrived at the Qi Family's Commercial Building by now . " Qi Qi's voice was filled with killing intent .

Every Essence Soul Realm warrior of the Qi Family was very precious . It did not matter why Di Jiu had killed three of them . If he failed to kill Di Jiu, Qi Qi would be a useless family head .

Boom! Almost as soon as Qi Qi finished speaking, the Qi Family's Defense Array was shattered and Di Jiu's arrogant voice said, "You've guessed right, old man . Grandfather Di Jiu is here to take revenge . "





"How dare a mere weakling like you say that he came to take revenge on my family . Everyone attack him . Capture him dead or alive!" Qi Qi was the first person to take out his Dharma treasure and attack Di Jiu .

He believed that he would be able to oppress Di Jiu single-handedly, as he thought that Di Jiu was just an Essence Soul Realm cultivator . However, he still let the Qi Family's experts attack him all at once .

After activating the killing array, Di Jiu rushed into the crowd of Qi Family Essence Soul Realm cultivators without hesitation . He would not allow the cultivators within the commercial building to leave this time . He would be at an extreme disadvantage if he did .

This was the Qi Family's main branch, so unlike the Sky Market City branch, it was said that there were Void Spirit Realm Cultivators here .

Di Jiu slashed out with the Wind-Rustling Move as he rushed forward . He had gone there to kill, so there was no need to be hesitant .


The violent, surging saber intent transformed into a saber whirlpool and enveloped two first-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators before killing them instantly .

"Kill him!" Qi Qi was the first person to take out his saber and slash at Di Jiu . His Dharma treasure was also a saber, just like Di Jiu's .

Qi Chenxiang, who was not overconfident this time, immediately grabbed a massive iron mound and threw it at Di Jiu . He cultivated the strength Dao, which emphasized on using strength to oppress one's opponents . His iron fist could similarly sweep through anything, even if he did not take out his Dharma treasure .

As Qi Qi's saber intent locked onto Di Jiu, he let out a sigh of relief . So long as his saber intent locked onto him, Di Jiu would die . It would be a comfort if Di Jiu, who was a secret powerful enemy who had killed several Qi Family Essence Soul Realm cultivators, was killed .

If Di Jiu had comprehended the saber intent, he would surely have taken out the Heavenly Aqua, turned around and slashed out . In Di Jiu's opinion, Qi Qi's saber intent was full of flaws . As his silhouette moved rapidly within Qi Qi's saber flares, the Heavenly Aqua had similarly locked onto Qi Chenxiang . Di Jiu punched out .

There were too many people attacking him . Thus, when he attacked, he used the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art to its maximum . There was a thin circulating layer of Quintessential Essence outside his body .





He had to kill Qi Chenxiang . This man had exterminated the Galaxy Sect .

"How dare a mere weakling like you…" Qi Chenxiang noticed that Di Jiu had punched in the direction of the Myriad Tremendous Mound and locked onto him by using his saber intent . This fella did not even care about the Void Spirit Realm Cultivator behind him that was targeting him with his saber intent . Several Essence Soul Realm cultivators were also attacking Di Jiu . Di Jiu was too arrogant . Did he think that he was a True Form Realm Cultivator?

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Gathering Peaks Move transformed into multiple fist mountains that collided with Qi Chenxiang's Myriad Tremendous Mound . The Quintessential Essence that exploded forced the two mid-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators trying to sneak an attack on Di Jiu to retreat .

"He's really powerful!" Qi Chenxiang suddenly had a bad premonition . By the time he said this, Di Jiu's Split-Wave Saber Move had already slashed at him .

"I refuse to believe this!" Qi Chenxiang did not have the time to call back the Myriad Tremendous Mound . Hence, he just punched at Di Jiu's Heavenly Aqua .

Blood immediately splattered out of Di Jiu's back . Di Jiu's body shook slightly as the Heavenly Aqua slashed down with even greater ferocity .

Qi Qi's heart sank . Although he had managed to leave a nearly 60-centimeters long saber scar, he was not happy .

The moment his saber landed on Di Jiu's back, his saber intent dispersed completely . The only plausible explanation was that Di Jiu's saber intent was much more powerful than his . The collision of saber intents resulted in the dispersal of his saber intent, which happened because Di Jiu was not fighting him head-on . If Di Jiu had been facing him alone instead of also targeting Chengxiang, Qi Qi would most likely not even have had the ability to land an attack on Di Jiu .

However, this was not what Qi Qi was most afraid of . He was afraid that his saber had only left a two-centimeter long scar on Di Jiu's back . Even though his saber intent had dispersed, his saber had slashed at Di Jiu's body . Considering his current Quintessential Essence and strength, no matter how strong Di Jiu's defensive Quintessential Essence was, his saber move should have been able to split Di Jiu in two . However, this was not what happened .

Although the saber scar looked really deep and scary, Qi Qi knew very well that it had not fundamentally injured Di Jiu .

There was only one reason why . Besides Di Jiu's superior understanding of the saber intent, Di Jiu was also a powerful Tempered Body Cultivator . If Qi Qi had been unable to split open Di Jiu with a saber move, Di Jiu had to be at least a Three-Monarch Realm Tempered Body Cultivator .

A Tempered Body Cultivator at the Three-Monarch Realm could have attacked Qi Chenxiang with their full strength despite Qi Qi's attack . Qi Qi got afraid . He had a bad premonition .





This was the first time he had ever felt like this .

Crack! A clear bone-cracking sound suddenly rang out . Qi Chenxiang's heart went cold . Even if his fist landed on Qi Qi's saber blade, it would only receive a white scar . However, his fist now felt frosty .

Bam! A bloody mist exploded from his fist . Qi Chenxiang finally saw clearly what the frost on his fist was all about . Di Jiu's saber had split open his fist and torn his arm into two .

"How dare you!" Qi Chenxiang was filled with a mixture of terror and anger . His fists were the physical manifestation of his strength, as his Dao foundation had essentially been destroyed by Di Jiu's saber move .

The Split-Wave Saber Move had already landed on Qi Chenxiang and the ripples containing the saber intent had exploded within him . Qi Chenxiang's four limbs were ripped apart by the saber ripples .

Qi Chenxiang, who had lost all his limbs, fell from the sky . Meanwhile, his Spiritual Sea started to fall apart .

Qi Chenxiang's heart was cold . He knew why he was still alive . It was because Di Jiu had not killed him instantly .

Qi Qi's saber engulfed Di Jiu again . He knew very well that this day would determine the Qi Family's fate . If Di Jiu was not killed, the Qi Family would be doomed .

The Heavenly Aqua in Di Jiu's hand created saber flares once again, killing two mid-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators easily . Qi Zhishang started to retreat frantically, ignoring Di Jiu, who turned back and punched out instead .

The fist ripples of the Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves Moves were aimed at Qi Qi . Qi Qi's saber intent instantly dispersed, while his saber aura could no longer be condensed .

Bam! As Qi Qi was engulfed by these fist ripples, his chest seemed to get smashed by a hammer . Qi Qi was dispirited .

Meanwhile, Di Jiu let out a sigh of relief . He had been worried about the gap in strength between ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators and Void Spirit Realm Cultivators . He might have been able to oppress Qi Zhiyi easily, but that did not mean that he could kill a first-stage Void Spirit Realm Cultivator just as easily . It actually seemed like he had been overthinking things . The two first-stage Void Spirit Realm Qi Family Cultivators were no match for him .

"Ah!" Qi Zhishang, who had just rushed out, let out a blood-curdling scream as he flew off .

Di Jiu had expected this . Although he had set up a Level-Seven Strangulation Array, his array formation skills would be useless if Qi Zhishang was able to escape .

Before Qi Zhishang could land on the ground, the Heavenly Aqua engulfed him . Qi Zhishang was split into two along with a sixth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator .

Di Jiu was able to kill the Qi Family's Essence Soul Realm cultivators after adapting to his saber intent and combat power as a fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator .

"Hold on!" Qi Qi knew that this was the end . The Qi Family had condemned itself by provoking the wrath of a terrifying fella like Di Jiu . The thing he had been most worried about had finally happened .

Di Jiu's face was slightly pale as he stopped attacking . The battle had been very short . Other than the large amounts of Quintessential Essence and Spiritual Force he'd lost, he had only sustained an injury due to Qi Qi's saber move .

This was because he was a Void Realm Tempered Body Cultivator who also cultivated the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art . In any other case, he would not have dared fight in this manner . However, this fighting method was the simplest, most direct method, which was what Di Jiu preferred .

"Daoist Di, the Qi Family's Commercial Building was truly ignorant to incur your wrath . My family is willing to compensate you in any way you want if you spare the Qi Family's Commercial Building this time," said Qi Qi sincerely .

He hated Qi Chenxiang with all his might . Di Jiu had robbed several branches of the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings, yet other than the Qi Family's cultivators in the North Ridge City, he had not killed many people . The Qi Family had investigated very thoroughly and discovered that the people in the North Ridge City branch had not been killed by Di Jiu, but by a hunchback expert .

Di Jiu was obviously not a bloodthirsty person . This had only happened because Qi Chenxiang had eliminated the Galaxy Sect and killed anyone who wasn't able to escape . Hence, Di Jiu had tried to exterminate the Qi Family's Commercial Building in return .

Qi Chenxiang had long since lost the spark in his eyes . He had never expected that the Qi Family would be reduced to this state and Di Jiu would become so powerful . His death would be meaningless, for the Qi Family would become history as a result of his actions .

Di Jiu ignored Qi Qi as the saber in his hand slashed out again, using the Sky Screen Saber Move .

No matter what Qi Qi said, he was determined to kill everyone in the Qi Family's Commercial Building that day .

The Sky Screen Saber Move slashed out, resulting in a slanted laceration . The saber intent carried some laws that caused Qi Qi, who had already lost any will to fight, to become even more dispirited .
