The ground was still trembling vigorously.
The destructive impact caused by the comet was so tremendous that even the nearby regions were somehow affected.
As for the Central Region, Celestial City was turned into a land of desolation, while tens of cities around it also received major damage.
Millions of civilians died and even some experts perished.
"L-Look above!" Someone shouted in distress.
Everyone lifted their heads and saw millions of large burning fragments descending from the skies. It was a rain of lava!
"We're done for! Run!"
"Flee!"
"Why did I even stay here to spectate the battle?!"
Everyone cried in anguish as they escaped at their fastest speed. However, the rain of lava had already spread in the entirety of the Central Region!
Just as everyone thought that they would burn to death, an invisible force suddenly prevented the rain of lava from burning the Central Region.
The blazing fragments stopped in midair as if someone had paused time. Everyone's mouth turned agape at the shocking sight and they had even forgotten to flee.
A figure dressed in white robes appeared above the clouds, looking down at them. He had an expressionless face as he said with an indifferent tone. "Leave while you still can."
His voice wasn't loud, but strangely, everyone heard his words clearly.
After saying those words, his figure disappeared from their sight.
"Who was that?"
"Perhaps he is the man fighting against Celestial Emperor Lao Gou. I think his name is Jiu Shen..."
"Celestial Emperor Jiu Shen..."
They etched the name in their hearts as they left the Central Region.
***
Jiu Shen stared at the bedraggled Lao Gou who could barely stand on his feet. He even had to lean on his guandao to prevent himself from falling.
The imposing black tower was still standing behind him, but the rusty chains that wrapped around the tower had obviously lessened. Less than half was left after forcefully blocking the huge comet.
Covered in cuts and burn wounds, Lao Gou glared hatefully at Jiu Shen.
The man recklessly used a ridiculous spell that destroyed a huge part of the Central Region. Lao Gou was certain that millions must have died from the impact alone. He thought that he was cruel, but Jiu Shen was even crazier than him!
Through his blood-stained eyes, he peeked at Jiu Shen's face and saw no remorse from the man. As if the act of killing millions was just a simple thing.
Cough! Cough!
'This crazy bastard! I never thought that he would not even hesitate to release such a powerful spell in a highly populated region!' Lao Gou spat several mouthfuls of blood.
His spiritual power was almost emptied and the true essence in his dantian was in a mess.
If not for the God Sealing Tower taking the brunt of the attack, he would have ended up half-dead.
Lao Gou noticed that Jiu Shen was moving in his direction and this made him unconsciously take a step back. It was then that he realized the true extent of Jiu Shen's power! It was immeasurable!
He unconsciously held the handle of his guandao with a tight grip. Every step that Jiu Shen took made his heart almost leap out of his chest. The feeling was foreign to him. It was the first time he showed this kind of reaction to someone. 'What is this?' He muttered to himself.
'Is this fear?' His pupils dilated upon reaching this conclusion. He couldn't even bring himself to deny this.
"Lao Gou, to tell you the truth, this sword technique of mine has seven sword dances and a special sword dance, but it seems like you can only take one final sword dance. It's a pity that I can't test the remaining sword dances..." A regretful voice drifted in Lao Gou's ears.
"S-Seven sword dances? There's even a final sword dance?" Lao Gou thought that his hearing had gone wrong when he heard Jiu Shen's words.
So the terrifying comet earlier was the final movement?
Lao Gou suddenly let out a dry laugh. 'To think that I ended up becoming bitter enemies with such a crazy lunatic... Well, this isn't so bad. As a man recognized by that personage, I don't mind dying in his hands...'
Jiu Shen paused his steps when he saw the sudden change in Lao Gou's expression. He was familiar with that look.
It was the face of someone that has given up on his life.
Seeing this, Jiu Shen became enraged. He tapped his foot and lunged toward Lao Gou as he raised his fist.
PAK!
Lao Gou's face was deformed after receiving the punch. He even realized that he had lost control of his lower jaw.
He didn't notice that his guandao had already slipped out of his hand.
Like a broken ragdoll, he crashed to the ground. He felt his vision slowly weaken. The scene in front of him was partially covered by his blood. 'So this is how it looks like to watch the sky as a defeated foe...' He thought to himself mockingly.
Then, he saw the expressionless Jiu Shen looking down at him.
A rain of heavy punches followed.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
Lao Gou could no longer feel the weight of the punches. His brain failed to register the pain.
'Is this death?'
Jiu Shen mercilessly punched the face of Lao Gou. "You old bastard! Why are you not resisting?! Do you think I wouldn't kill you?!"
Jiu Shen didn't stop punching the face of his enemy. His white robes and peerless visage were slowly covered in blood.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
An hour later...
Jiu Shen stared at the headless corpse of Lao Gou. Not even a skull remained.
A huge puddle of blood, mangled pieces of flesh, and broken bones... It was all that remained of his head.
He is finally dead...
'I couldn't stop myself and ended up killing him right away...' Jiu Shen sat in front of the corpse with an empty expression.
