“Neat trick!” Although Ximen Hao Xuan was trapped in the green vines formed by emerald energy, he was clearly not nervous at all. Although Wan Qing Qing’s restraints were powerful, they were not enough to trap him. He could easily break them within a few breaths with his full strength. He knew this move consumed a lot of Wan Qing Qing’s strength, and she would not be able to use this move again in a short time. At that time, he could easily eliminate her.

At the moment Ximen Hao Xuan was about to break free of the restraints, a figure appeared in the cage. In fact, the cage formed from the vines had blocked off all light so he could not see anything outside. However, due to his Divine Consciousness, he was conscious of what was happening in his surroundings.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaffected by the cage of vines. For this reason, he could easily teleport into the cage with the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian appeared, Ximen Hao Xuan could feel the space around him distorting as energy from the Space Territory swept over him. Nevertheless, his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Destruction Elemental Profundity surged, turning into black sword rays, The black sword rays spun around him at top speed, keeping the Space Energy at bay.

“So the rumors are true after all… Speed is your shortcoming,” Ximen Hao Xuan said bluntly, exposing Duan Ling Tian’s plan, as he looked at Duan Ling Tian, “You’re planning to use Wan Qing Qing to restrain me so you can attack me…”

“It’s still not too late for you to crush your Accumulative Point Jade… Otherwise, you might suffer external injuries!” Duan Ling Tian said in response. Once he attacked, Ximen Hao Xuan would not have time to unleash his full strength to fight since Ximen Hao Xuan would need time to break free of Wan Qing Qing’s restraints. He was certain the impact of their attacks would not be able to destroy Wan Qing Qing’s vines in a short time. However, if he can’t defeat Ximen Hao Xuan quick enough, the vines would certainly be destroyed. Wan Qing Qing had also told him she would need to recuperate for half a day before she could use this move again. Therefore, he knew he only had one shot at Ximen Hao Xuan.

“Divine Chaos Earth… To be safe, please lend me your strength!” In order to defeat Ximen Hao Xuan as soon as possible before Ximen Hao Xuan had a chance to exert all his strength, Duan Ling Tian decided to seek help from the Chaos Divine Earth.

The Chaos Divine Earth scoffed upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. “Boy, you finally remember me. Although I might not be as great a help as the Profound Divine Metal or the Chaos Divine Fire in terms of offensive strength, it’s still comparable to offensive profundities at the rudimentary stage.”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening booms rang from within the cage of vines at this moment.

Wan Qing Qing was drenched in sweat as time passed, trying to maintain the cage of vines with all her might. Not only was the sound thunderous, but the strength was incredibly powerful as well. After only four breaths, her face had already turned pale from the overwhelming stress. “Just a few breaths have passed, but the shockwave of their attacks is already taking a toll on me. Moreover, Ximen Hao Xuan’s attacks aren’t even directed at me… If this continues, I can only hold on for another six breaths…”

At this moment, Wan Qing Qing grew anxious when she realized she had underestimated the shockwave from Ximen Hao Xuan and Duan Ling Tian’s attacks. Just the shockwave alone was comparable to Ximen Hao Xuan actively trying to break her restraints. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to hold on. She was so focused on maintaining the cage that she had no time to communicate with Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission or even pay attention to her surroundings. She knew the cage would be destroyed if she was even slightly distracted. She thought to herself bitterly, ‘As it turns out, even if we joined forces, it’s still not enough to eliminate Ximen Hao Xuan.’

Although Wan Qing Qing did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s strength, she did not think he would be able to defeat Ximen Hao Xuan within six breaths. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he would need, at least, ten breaths to eliminate Ximen Hao Xuan even if Ximen Hao Xuan did not exert all his strength or utilize speed, which was one of his specialties.

Naturally, Wan Qing Qing’s speculation was based on her understanding of Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Hao Xuan’s strength. She had been eliminated by Ximen Hao Xuan once so she was familiar with his strength.

“Hm?” After five breaths passed, Wan Qing Qing was shocked to discover the shockwave assaulting her vines seemed to have disappeared. The crushing pressure that was bearing down on her had disappeared as well.

Wan Qing Qing was about to extend her Divine Consciousness to check what was going on in the cage when a voice rang from within the cage. “Thank you for showing mercy.”

The words sounded sincere.

“This voice…” Wan Qing Qing’s eyes brightened when she realized the voice belonged to Ximen Hao Xuan. She quickly withdrew the vines and saw two figures standing in front of her.

Duan Ling Tian seemed unharmed. Although his robes were slightly torn, there was no wound on him.

On the other hand, Ximen Hao Xuan had more than ten wounds on his body. The wound on his chest, in particular, looked terrible. If it had gone several inches deeper, he would have lost his life.

“Don’t forget our bet!” Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Ximen Hao Xuan.

“Don’t worry, I will personally bring it to you,” Ximen Hao Xuan said after he caught his breath. He did not look like he had a close brush with death as he smiled at Duan Ling Tian as though nothing had happened.

“I’ll be waiting for you.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“There’s no need for you to wait… I’ll ask my junior uncle to bring me to the Profound Nether Mansion once I leave the middle realm. By the time you leave the middle realm, I should be in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate,” Ximen Hao Xuan said. Since he was a core disciple of the grade-six Red Leaves Mansion, there were people notifying him of the changes on the scoreboard. Therefore, he knew when Duan Ling Tian had entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm and could roughly estimate when Duan Ling Tian had to leave.

“Let’s drink when we meet,” Ximen Hao Xuan said with a smile before he crushed his Accumulative Point Jade.

After Ximen Hao Xuan was sent out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, Duan Ling Tian took out his Accumulative Point Jade. He was incredibly curious about his current points.

Ximen Hao Xuan had consistently ranked in the top six over the past few years in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Moreover, he was also ranked first a few times.

Before Duan Ling Tian eliminated Ximen Hao Xuan, Ximen Hao Xuan, naturally, ranked above him. He knew Ximen Hao Xuan was ranked in the top six, but he did not know Ximen Hao Xuan’s exact rank. After all, the point difference between those people who were ranked in the top six was very small so their ranks changed easily.

“How many points?” Wan Qing Qing was equally as curious as Duan Ling Tian.

“1207!” Duan Ling Tian said with a grin.

Wan Qing Qing fell into a daze when she saw Duan Ling Tian grinning from ear to ear. This was the first time she had seen him smiling so happily. When she regained her senses, she discovered she was blushing. Then, she hurriedly congratulated him, “Congratulations! With your current points, you’ll surely rank first on the scoreboard. Based on my knowledge, it has been twelve years since anyone has accumulated more than 1,000 points in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!”

She continued to say with a smile, “By now, those people outside the middle realm and those from the Red Leaves Mansion must be shocked. I bet no one expected you to be capable of eliminating Ximen Hao Xuan.”

…

Just as Wan Qing Qing had said, when everyone from the Red Leaves Mansion saw Ximen Hao Xuan who had been transported out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, they were dumbfounded!
