My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 109 Mountain Collapse and River Cut-Off (4k)

For Ke Rujing, the continuation of the sect, the honor of the sect, the lives of his disciples, and his own reputation were all less important than his own life.

You have everything if you have life!
What's the point of preserving the 700-year-old Fei Hong Sect if you lose your life?
Is it so that after his death, future disciples of the sect might occasionally remark, "If it weren't for Elder Ke, our sect might have been wiped out long ago"?

Do not!
He doesn't have such noble sentiments; he wouldn't do something so selfless.

If Huang Tian were weaker, he would be willing to capture and kill him. But just by looking at the power of the arrows Huang Tian shot, he knew that Huang Tian's strength was definitely no less than his own!
He's slightly stronger than me!
He could not possibly risk fighting such a formidable opponent.

"As long as I live, the Flying Hung Sect still exists; only when I die will the Flying Hung Sect truly perish!"

If he manages to escape today, with his third-rank strength, he could easily establish another Flying Goose Sect.

With Huang Tian in Qinzhou, he can go to other states. At worst, he can go to Lan Kingdom or Yu Kingdom. Huang Tian can't possibly break out of the Great Qian Dynasty and keep chasing after him, can he?
Just as Ke Rujing was rushing through the hidden tunnel, Huang Tian, ​​standing on a tall stone pillar, looked towards the town outside the camp. The southernmost part of the town was the exit of the hidden tunnel.

With a stomp of his toe, the massive stone pillar shattered under his foot and collapsed with a deafening roar. Using the force of the impact, he spread his arms like wings and flew away from the camp.

After gliding for over a hundred feet in mid-air, it stepped off a tall tree again and sped towards the south of the town.

On the ground, the Fei Hong Sect disciples who were fleeing frantically were terrified, thinking that Huang Tian was going to catch up and kill them all. Many of them knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. However, Huang Tian did not pay any attention to these terrified disciples and swept straight past them with a gust of wind.

"He...he didn't kill us?!"

One of the disciples wept with joy.

“He wouldn’t stoop to killing us; it seems he’s after someone else!” someone calmly analyzed.

"Several elders and the sect leader are dead, and two other elders are far away in Funing. Is he rushing to Funing County now?"

"Impossible! There are some treasures in the sect's treasury. He couldn't possibly leave without looting them."

"That's right! The sect's treasury has many elixirs and precious medicines. We can take advantage of the chaos to go back and get them!"

"Fool, do you, an ordinary disciple, even know where the real treasure vault is? Even if you did, do you think you could get in without knowing the way? Besides, if that person discovers you're running away with the treasure, you'll definitely die! Is your life more important, or the treasure?"

"Life is more important! Life is more important!"

"Good thing you know, why aren't you running?!"

"..."

The disciples continued their escape.

Huang Tian soared across the sky like a roc, creating a huge roar, then turned and landed lightly as a feather on a flat piece of land south of the town.

His gaze was sharp as he surveyed the surroundings on the flat ground, silently sensing the rushing energy deep underground.

A few breaths later, suddenly, he poured his abundant true energy into his right foot, raised it high, and then stomped down heavily like an ancient giant elephant!
Boom! !

A deafening roar, as deep as a mountain being struck, as a meteor falling to earth!
The solid ground, stretching for hundreds of feet, trembled violently, as if it had turned into a rippling surface of water, arching upwards and then spreading out violently and visibly!
Waves of earth and stone spread and advanced outwards at an alarming speed.

Where the waves passed, layers of soil were turned upside down, tree roots buried deep inside were torn out, and stones of all sizes jumped and flew up!
Underground, the hidden tunnel was shaking violently, with countless clods of earth and gravel pouring down like a torrential rain. Ke Rujing, who was stealthily moving through the tunnel, suddenly changed his expression.

A little bit of soil can't bury him, but it means he's been discovered!

"Damn!!"

He didn't know how Huang Tian had discovered him, so he could only curse angrily. Then, helplessly, he shot out of the violently shaking tunnel, carrying countless pieces of dirt and gravel, and landed steadily on the ground.

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately recognized by the fleeing disciples of the Flying Hong Sect not far away.

"It's the Supreme Elder!"

"Why is the Supreme Elder here? Shouldn't he be inside the sect?"

"Fool! You're running for your life, but the Supreme Elder is running for his life too!"

"Impossible! Grandmaster Ke is a Grandmaster-level expert. How could he be so frightened that he fled before even exchanging blows?!"

"The facts are right in front of you, and it won't change anything if you don't believe them."

"I didn't expect that even though Mr. Ke tried to escape first, he was still intercepted by that evil person!"

Should we leave right away?

"Let's wait and see. It's hard to say who will win or lose. If Elder Ke wins, we'll return to the sect immediately. If not... we'll run as fast as we can. We don't need to be disciples of the Flying Phoenix Sect anymore. It's better to be a wandering swordsman than to be hunted down!"

"..."

Not only did the fleeing Fei Hong Men disciples discover Ke Rujing, but many townspeople also watched from afar across a clear stream.

The guest room where Zhao Changguang and Zhao Changming stayed was in an excellent location; just by standing on tiptoe, one could clearly see Ke Rujing and Huang Tian standing opposite each other in the distance.

The latter exclaimed excitedly, "I knew it! I knew it!"

I don't know what he knew, he just kept jumping around.

Zhao Changguang subconsciously held his breath, as if afraid that his breathing would disturb the two of them.

Hehe~

The wind blows from the high sky, bending the grass and trees.

Ke Rujing held the dark gold staff in his right hand and looked up at Huang Tian, ​​only to see that the latter had already stopped and stood still, as if the step that changed the terrain just now was just a casual action.

He suppressed his anger and tried to remain calm, saying, "Huang Tian, ​​I have no blood feud with you. It was Qian Shan who tried to kill you earlier, and I knew nothing about it. Now that he's dead, why are you still pursuing me?"

Huang Tian remained silent, relying on his supernatural abilities to know exactly who harbored murderous intent towards him. Ke Rujing spoke sweetly, but in reality, his murderous intent towards him was like a raging river, and even being reduced to ashes would not be enough to quell his anger.

Seeing that Huang Tian remained silent, Ke Rujing thought he had persuaded him and continued, "I know that you are very strong. You defeated Pei Guan in a head-on battle, but I am not weak either. I can even hold my own against a second-rank expert for several moves!"

You and I are like a dragon and a tiger. If we fight, we will both be injured and taken advantage of. Why don't we stop fighting and make peace?
"You shall destroy the Flying Hung Sect, and I will not interfere. I promise never to seek revenge again, nor will I rebuild the Flying Hung Sect. In return, you shall clear my way and let me leave. What do you say?" "You are neither dragon nor tiger; at best, you are nothing but a stray dog."

Huang Tian shook his head and said in a calm tone, "There's no point in saying more, let's get started."

Upon hearing this, Ke Rujing's eyes immediately turned cold, and his hair and beard bristled. "It seems you've decided to fight me to the death. Hah, I haven't made a move for many years, and many people think I'm a coward who's afraid of fighting and dying. Even a brat like you dares to despise this old man!"

"Absolutely arrogant!!"

With a furious roar, his blood and qi boiled to the extreme, and a surge of true qi burst forth, causing a strong wind to howl around him. With a movement, he cracked the ground and shot out like a cannonball, swinging his black gold staff with a thunderous boom!

In an instant, hundreds and thousands of solid staff shadows materialized in the air, each staff shadow condensing immense power, like a raging storm, wave after wave, carrying a force that seemed capable of shattering mountains, crashing down towards the heavens!

Faced with the overwhelming force of the staff, Huang Tian's eyes were focused. He clenched his fist and made a loud, earth-shaking sound. Then, his right fist, heavy as a hammer, pounded straight at the black gold staff!

clang! !

The clanging of fists and sticks pierced the sky, stopping the flowing clouds.

The powerful sound waves, like real cannonballs, snapped the surrounding trees and plowed the earth, lifting up layers of soil and rocks. The stream dozens of meters away exploded with waves several meters high!
Ke Rujing felt a powerful, domineering, and irresistible force coming through the staff, which made his blood surge and his arms feel sore and numb.

He staggered backward several feet, his feet carving a deep trench in the ground, and Ke Rujing was horrified.

'How can his strength be so great?!'

He was using a master-level divine weapon, a staff with immense power, while Huang Tian was only using his fists. Yet, he was at a disadvantage when they clashed!
Simply incredible!

Just as he was secretly alarmed, Huang Tian had already leaped up, his clothes fluttering, and a scorching heat wave rose from his body. His right palm was as clear as red glass, stirring up the spiritual energy in all directions, and red waves rolled around his body, like a boiling sea of ​​clouds!

boom! !

A palm strike, as powerful as a volcano, landed on Ke Rujing's chest, causing the latter's expression to change.

This palm strike, though seemingly slow, was actually incredibly fast!
The palm strike had barely taken shape when it pushed aside the flowing air and struck straight in front of him!
"Block!!"

Ke Rujing gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the surging blood and qi within his body. His muscles bulged and his bones creaked as he held the black gold staff horizontally in front of him.

Bang! !

With a loud bang, he was sent flying dozens of feet through the air, crashing into the gurgling stream and creating huge waves.

With a single palm strike, Huang Tian sent Ke Rujing flying. He then leaped onto the clear, flowing stream and delivered another palm strike to Ke Rujing, who was struggling to stand in the water.
Before the palm could even be pressed down, the scalding heat wave had already heated the stream below to the point of boiling!
Ke Rujing, being experienced, darted to the side and back without thinking, swinging his long staff in front of him to stir up the stream and create a thick wall of water.

wow~
Countless splashes and waves stirred up by the long stick were dried by a single palm strike. Ke Rujing narrowly avoided the attack, but his thick beard was charred black by the heat, making him look quite comical.

"Huang Tian, ​​you deserve to die!!"

The humiliation of being "disfigured" completely ignited his ferocity. Taking advantage of the momentum of his retreat, he suddenly stepped on the surging wave behind him, his body like a dragon swimming upstream, using the force to propel himself forward, raising the long stick high above his head with both hands.

Qi and blood surged!

True Qi surged wildly!

The staff's dark light shone with an unprecedented intensity!
"One strike splits the heavens!"

He roared, his long staff cleaving through the air with a shrill, ghostly wail. The force of the staff was so fierce that it split the stream below in two before it even fully struck, revealing the deep riverbed!
Huang Tian did not dodge. Instead, he extended his right palm like a dragon reaching out its claws, his five fingers slightly bent, to meet the powerful and imposing blow!
puff~
There was no earth-shattering explosion.

However, Huang Tian used a clever technique. The moment his right palm made contact with the black gold staff, he guided and dispersed the force contained within it layer by layer, like a raging torrent rushing into a winding river, and the power was quickly dissipated in all directions.

Around the two of them, the entire stream seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, which then suddenly pressed downwards!
Boom! !
The unparalleled force squeezed the stream water, causing it to burst open in all directions, forming a giant, ring-shaped wave mixed with mud, sand, gravel, and water, roaring towards the banks on both sides!
At the same time, Huang Tian suddenly gripped the staff with his five fingers and shook it. Ke Rujing felt as if he were holding a shaking mountain. His hands were numb and painful, and the black gold staff was out of his hands and changed hands!

With the long staff in hand, Huang Tian's aura suddenly changed. He recalled Ke Rujing's attack just now, raised the iron staff high, and struck Ke Rujing on the head!
This strike was like splitting mountains and pounding the sea!
The strike came down like a canopy of the sky pressing down!

'This is truly a single blow that cleaves the heavens...'

In a daze of fear, this thought actually popped into Ke Rujing's mind.

Boom! !

As if a divine elephant were stomping on the earth, an immense force surged through the tip of the staff, blasting into Ke Rujing's body and pouring unreservedly into the turbulent stream beneath his feet.

Giant waves, a mixture of water and mud, surged skyward, rising dozens of feet into the air. The riverbed suddenly sank downward, cracking open with crisscrossing fissures like a spider web, and gurgling stream water rushed into the cracks!

Ke Rujing stood frozen in place. From the outside, his body appeared intact, but in reality, his insides were completely shattered, and all the light in his eyes had vanished.

puff~
He knelt down softly in the water, his upper body plunging into the water, splashing up a large spray of crystal-clear water.

"The Supreme Elder, the Supreme Elder is dead?!" A Fei Hong Sect disciple hiding behind a large tree cried out in grief from afar.

"Grandmaster Ke is dead, the sect leader is dead, and almost all the elders are dead. My great Flying Phoenix Sect is gone!!"

"What are you crying about? Run! Do you want to stay here and be buried with us?!"

"Run! Run! Don't stop! Don't hesitate!"

"..."

The Fei Hong Sect disciples, who had initially held some hope, were utterly devastated when they saw their invincible Supreme Elder killed by Huang Tian. They wished they had more legs and ran as fast as they could away from Huang Tian.

As he fled, he silently prayed, "Don't chase me! Don't chase me! Go chase someone else!"

In just a moment, all the Fei Hong Sect disciples who had been watching the battle had disappeared without a trace.

The townspeople were terrified, their faces turning pale, fearing that the "killer star" would come to the town. They all ran away in panic. Only the Zhao brothers, Changguang and Zhao Changguang, in the inn watched with rapt attention and were deeply shocked.

"Only today do I realize what a grandmaster is, and what it means to shatter mountains and stop rivers!!"
