Chapter 915: It Was My Sneak Attack

Lan Xihe no longer dared to delay even half a moment; her domain swept out wildly as she simultaneously sacrificed her magic treasure.

Even Ding Huan hadn't expected that Lan Xihe's magic treasure would actually be the Primordial Mother-and-Child Blades.

This kind of bold and sweeping magic treasure was generally used by men with coarse and wild temperaments.

It was truly the first time seeing a woman use this kind of magic treasure.

Yet in Ding Huan's view, Lan Xihe was petty and narrow-minded, fundamentally unsuited to wield such a magic treasure.

Boom!

The two domains crashed into each other; Lan Xihe's domain couldn't hold up and was rapidly suppressed.

No wonder this woman had been fleeing all along.

Ding Huan was very clear that if he made a move at this moment, with Lan Xihe's help, he could absolutely easily crush Qu Beige.

Not only did Ding Huan not act, he instead continued retreating with Jia Baihe.

Seeing Ding Huan retreat, Guan Huan and Qiao Qianhe immediately followed Ding Huan and withdrew as well.

Instead, it was Qin Qin who sacrificed her magic treasure and charged forward.

Her own sect's founding patriarch was at a disadvantage; she had after all once been the sect's Holy Maiden—how could she stand by and do nothing?

But Qin Qin was only at the Derivation Realm cultivation, and compared to Qu Beige, the gap was worlds apart.

The moment Qin Qin came into contact with the opponent's domain, she was struck by the violent aura of the Great Dao and sent flying backward.

A blood arrow sprayed through the void, and even her Great Dao grew listless.

Just the impact of the domain alone left Qin Qin severely injured.

With her cultivation, she didn't even have the qualification to intervene.

Ding Huan had never once thought to stop Qin Qin from making her move.

From beginning to end, only Qin Qin owed him a favor; he didn't owe Qin Qin anything.

Lan Xihe was being taught a lesson by Qu Beige, and he was just about to stand aside and enjoy watching how Lan Xihe would be taught a lesson—how could he possibly step in to help?

"You're not bad either." Qu Beige glanced at Qin Qin, whom he had blasted flying, and said with satisfaction.

This woman, he wanted her too.

But then he immediately saw Jia Baihe, and his eyes immediately lit up.

It wasn't that he hadn't noticed Jia Baihe; rather, in his eyes, no matter how many people were in Ding Huan's group, they were all dead men.

He had never had any interest in looking more closely at dead men.

"Brother Ding Huan, let's hurry and leave. This guy is extremely terrifying—I personally saw him kill two powerful cultivators at the Sixth Step of the Great Dao." Guan Huan whispered beside Ding Huan.

Ding Huan was stunned—had so many powerful cultivators come to the Small Heaven Market?

Qu Beige had already made his move; the already enormous millstone abruptly swelled.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if it would blot out the horizon.

The two millstones slowly rotated, and everything within them was ground into fine powder.

Beneath the millstone's space, the laws of all things were continuously ground apart, and spatial rifts appeared before everyone's eyes one after another.

And the millstone kept extending; under it, heaven and earth themselves seemed about to collapse.

Even though Ding Huan and the others stood extremely far away, they could still feel that threat of death.

"This guy's magic treasure is really powerful—doesn't it look like the legendary Universe Mill? That's a Chaos Treasure, isn't it?"

Ding Huan shook his head: "This millstone is definitely not a Chaos Treasure. I always feel that this

millstone is an imitation, but for something to be imitated to this extent is indeed very shocking."

Lan Xihe's Primordial Mother-and-Child Blades were simultaneously sacrificed.

A curtain of blade-light slashed out, transforming into nine killing rays.

The spatial rules were torn even faster; the void was ripped apart, and spatial blade-gleams instantly filled the entire space where Lan Xihe and Qu Beige were fighting.

Crack!

Several of the child blades had their Dao rhythm ground away beneath the opponent's Universe Mill and fell to the ground.

This further confirmed Ding Huan's earlier guess.

Qu Beige's Universe Mill wrapped up Lan Xihe's Primordial Mother-and-Child Blades and ground away the Dao rhythm of two of the child blades.

But it only ground away the Dao rhythm; it wasn't able to tear these two child blades apart.

This showed that the grade of this Universe Mill wasn't all that high, which meant this Universe Mill should be an imitation.

Rip.

Lan Xihe's dress was torn.

It made even Jia Baihe lower her head.

Guan Huan and Qiao Qianhe were also true gentlemen and all turned their faces away.

Only Ding Huan felt not the slightest bit of embarrassment, and continued to stare at the two combatants.

"Qu Beige, you beast…"

Lan Xihe was both shocked and furious, her whole body trembling.

She, Lan Xihe, was after all an existence at the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, and had even established her own Great Dao sect.

Yet now she was being humiliated like this.

And to make matters worse, while she was being humiliated, there was still a group of people watching around her…

Hmm, it seemed only that ant who dared to talk back to him and that pig were watching.

"Xihe, why must you do this to yourself? Before, someone helped you. Now the ones helping you have all been killed by me—who else is left to help you?"

Qu Beige spoke at an unhurried pace, his gaze sweeping brazenly up and down Lan Xihe's body.

"You…" Lan Xihe was so angry she spat blood, yet was utterly helpless.

"Qinqin, leave the Lesser Heaven Market immediately. In the future…"

Before Lan Xihe could finish her sentence, the millstone core of the Universe Mill transformed into a black streak and shot out.

The black streak flashed past Lan Xihe's waist, and a spray of blood mist burst forth.

Lan Xihe was blasted away, crashing down beside Qinqin, never able to rise again.

Qu Qu Beige put away the Universe Mill.

He frowned slightly; he had originally intended to toy with Lan Xihe a bit more.

But when he stirred his own Dao rhyme, he clearly sensed something was off.

It was that his great Dao rhyme and essence blood seemed to be bound by a kind of Dao rule, and this Dao rule could also devour his vitality and tear apart the foundations of his great Dao.

He had been in the Lesser Heaven Market for quite some time now.

He had never encountered such a situation.

Thinking of how every Qu clan disciple of the Qu Clan Dao Court had been slaughtered to the last, how could Qu Qu Beige not know that someone had laid down a Qu clan gene slaughter law?

He had long known that the Lesser Heaven Market contained a Qu clan gene slaughter law.

However, that slaughter law was too low-grade to affect him, so he had paid it no attention at all.

Now feeling the slaughter law again, its grade had increased by more than a hundredfold compared to the one previously laid in the Lesser Heaven Market.

This enhanced Qu clan gene slaughter law had just been laid down by someone

earlier.

When he was battling Lan Xihe, he had not noticed it at all.

And because he had stirred his domain and great Dao divine ability, he was now being invaded by the slaughter law.

Obviously, the one who laid this slaughter law was right here.

Qu Qu Beige's gaze fell toward Ding Huan's side, and finally settled on Guan Huan.

Guan Huan's great Dao rhyme was the most condensed, and the momentum of his Dao rhyme far surpassed that of the others.

"Was it you who ambushed me just now?" Qu Qu Beige did not mention the Qu clan gene slaughter law, but stared at Guan Huan and spoke word by word.

His voice was very slow; with every word he spoke, he took a step forward.

When he finished saying this, he was already not far from Ding Huan and the others.

Ding Huan could hardly believe it—had he still not recognized him and Guan Huan?

He found it hard to believe that after arriving at the Lesser Heaven Market, Qu Qu Beige had not inquired who had wiped out the Qu Clan Dao Court.

Once he inquired, he would surely know about the Two Huan of the Heaven Market.

In fact, Qu Qu Beige truly had not inquired.

After sensing the gene slaughter law targeting the Qu clan, he knew there were no Qu clan disciples left in the Lesser Heaven Market.

If that was the case, then the Lesser Heaven Market would soon be reduced to dust.

He would make the Lesser Heaven Market and every living being within it accompany the Qu clan disciples in burial.

So he felt there was no need to inquire about the dead from the dead.

As for whether Ding Huan had left the Lesser Heaven Market, he thought not.

Because in this void universe, the only place with complete heaven and earth rules was the Lesser Heaven Market.

Where could one go after leaving the Lesser Heaven Market?

A higher universe?

Heh, the ants here don't even qualify to go.

Until he was about to unleash the Great Planet Art to destroy the Lesser Heaven Market, he was discovered by Lan Xihe.

Because of his own arrogance and conceit, even the top of his head was a lush green.

But Qu Qu Beige had never thought he was wrong, nor ever thought ants could overturn the heavens.

"Qinqin, let's leave immediately, use this escape talisman."

Lan Xihe saw that Qu Qu Beige had not come after her first, but had instead fixed his eyes on Ding Huan's group, and knew this was the only chance to escape.

Qinqin looked at the escape talisman Lan Xihe handed her; she did not take it, but said slowly: "Sect Master, my strength is meager, I cannot save you.

They are all my friends. If I abandon them and leave, what face do I have to keep pursuing the Dao?"

"Stubborn fool…" Lan Xihe was so angry she spat blood.

She really did spit blood.

Already gravely wounded by Qu Qu Beige, and now encountering such an obstinate disciple, she had simply lost face for the Tian Xuan Women's Palace.

But Qinqin would not listen to her, and she was now helpless.

Who told her she was gravely wounded?

Guan Huan didn't even know what was happening.

Qu Qu Beige's killing intent locked onto him; that heaven-piercing aura of slaughter pressed down on him until his face turned pale and he couldn't utter a single word.

He had just felt that Lan Xihe was no match for Qu Qu Beige.

If it were him in her place, he probably couldn't even manage to be no match.

"To be precise, it was I who ambushed." Ding Huan stepped forward.

The terrifying Dao rhyme aura and domain that had nearly pressed Guan Huan to the point of spitting blood vanished without a trace after Ding Huan took that step.

Guan Huan stared at Ding Huan in shock; only now did he realize what height Ding Huan stood at.

How much time had passed?

Boom!

Ding Huan's domain and Qu Qu Beige's domain collided head-on.

The space between heaven and earth once again underwent violent fluctuations, and the heaven and earth laws shattered even faster.

Qu Beige's expression changed.

How could there still be such a powerful expert in Lesser Sky Market?

The ant before him wasn't a matter of being strong; this one was in no way weaker than him.

Or rather, after he had been struck by the Gene Slaughter Law, the opponent's strength was already enough to match his own.

Just now he had still been struggling to dissolve the Gene Slaughter Law within his body. After it collided with Ding Huan's domain, that Gene Slaughter Law ravaged his body even more severely.

It was obvious that Ding Huan's domain was filled everywhere with the Qu Clan Gene Slaughter Law.

The Cosmic Grind was once again summoned by him.

If it weren't for the influence of the Gene Slaughter Law, he truly wouldn't fear Ding Huan.

Now he felt he couldn't pin Ding Huan down.

"Who are you? Why must you oppose me, Qu Beige?"

He still wasn't entirely certain whether the person before him was the one who had annihilated the Qu Clan.

The Gene Slaughter Law targeting him this time was simply a hundred times stronger than the Qu Clan Gene Slaughter Law deployed in Lesser Sky Market.

No matter who it was, they couldn't possibly make such terrifying progress in such a short time—especially progress in the Laws of Heaven and Earth divine ability.

Progress in Laws divine abilities is the hardest of all, and improving them is even harder.
