Chapter 553 - 553: Demon Sword Palace
Wang Ruoxie naturally couldn't completely fall out with Tian Yun, because with his current cultivation power, he was still far from being able to contend with the other party.
However, once he entered this ancient city, it might be a different story.
This ancient city contained many divine rune restrictions and divine rune arrays, and as long as he utilized them well, it was entirely possible for him to kill the other party.
Immediately, Wang Ruoxie did not hesitate, his figure flickered, and he entered the ancient city.
A faint cold smile hung on the corner of Tian Yun's mouth as he followed closely behind Wang Ruoxie.
He was not worried about the other party playing tricks, because he was confident in his own strength, a mere Divine Monarch Realm guy, even if he were a Divine Rune Master, he could still kill him with a flick of his finger.
After entering the ancient city, the speed of their progress slowed down significantly as they proceeded cautiously and carefully.
Wang Ruoxie continuously carved out divine patterns, breaking the divine rune restrictions on the road ahead, of course, if he encountered divine rune arrays, he did not break them but chose to pass through instead.
It was not that he could not break these divine rune arrays, but he did not want Tian Yun to know that he was already a Tier Six Divine Rune Master.
Tian Yun naturally continued to closely follow behind Wang Ruoxie, his aura radiating, ready to kill Wang Ruoxie, who was close at hand, at any moment.
Wang Ruoxie was naturally aware of this, but he did not pay attention, only silently carving out special divine patterns while continuously breaking divine rune restrictions.
These divine patterns instantly merged into the ground and disappeared, even Tian Yun did not notice.
However, even if he saw Wang Ruoxie carving these divine patterns, he would just assume that Wang Ruoxie was breaking restrictions.
As they progressed a bit at a time, the divine patterns carved by Wang Ruoxie increased in number.
The divine patterns he carved not only wove into divine rune array maps underground, but also intertwined with the existing divine rune arrays around.
Although he could not break these divine rune arrays in a short time, nor could he truly control them, he could use the divine rune array maps to guide the power of these divine rune arrays for his own use.
"Master Wang, your speed is getting slower and slower, and you seem to be going in circles. Could it be that you're trying some trick?"
At this moment, Tian Yun finally noticed the anomaly and said coldly, "I advise you to give up, otherwise, with your cultivation power, killing you would be like killing a chicken."
"Killing me would be like killing a chicken? You can try it now."
Hearing Tian Yun's words, Wang Ruoxie turned around, a cold smile on his lips, and said.
The array was complete, so he had no fear of the other party.
"You better not play tricks. With my strength, even without you, I can still walk out."
Tian Yun's eyes flickered; in his view, the reason Wang Ruoxie dared to be so bold with him was because they were now within the divine rune array, and the other party felt he wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Of course, he indeed didn't dare to actually kill the other party, given the terrifying divine rune restrictions and arrays throughout the ancient city.
If he killed Wang Ruoxie, the Divine Rune Master, he would truly be unable to move a step.
"Since you dare not act, then I will."
A cold light flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes, and he spoke indifferently.
As his words fell, the ground suddenly burst into brilliant radiance, and then divine patterns containing terrifying power emerged.
"You're courting death, you actually dare to attack me."
Tian Yun's face changed drastically, and he roared in anger.
He never expected Wang Ruoxie to dare to attack him actively.
"If I didn't dare, why would I specifically prepare a Tier Six divine rune array just for you?"
Wang Ruoxie chuckled indifferently and replied.
"What... Tier Six divine rune array? You've already advanced to Tier Six Divine Rune Master?"
Hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Tian Yun's face changed greatly.
He never imagined that in nearly a hundred years, Wang Ruoxie not only achieved such a tremendous advancement in Martial Art but also made rapid progress in the Path of Divine Patterns, advancing from a Tier Four Divine Rune Master to a Tier Six Divine Rune Master.
"Master Wang, you and I have no grudge or enmity, why go this far?"
Tian Yun squeezed out a smile harder than crying toward Wang Ruoxie and said.
"Things have come to this point, more words are useless, die."
Wang Ruoxie was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, directly activating the divine patterns on the ground.
Instantly, endless brilliance burst from these divine pattern diagrams, carrying terrifying power, crazily attacking Tian Yun.
"Ice Absolute Palm."
Facing these terrifying attacks, Tian Yun did not dare to be careless, desperately mobilizing the divine power within him, his palms swiftly swinging out.
Instantly, cold ice palm seals formed at once.
"Boom boom boom..."
Amidst a series of loud noises, those cold ice palm seals were crushed into powder by the attacks of the divine rune array.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Subsequently, with a series of slight sounds, Tian Yun's body was pierced through, with countless blood holes appearing, and a large amount of blood gushing out.
Even with his Seventh Layer Divine King Realm cultivation and a divine body far stronger than the average late-stage Divine King Realm, he still could not withstand these divine rune array attacks.
The terrible power madly devoured the vitality within him.
Ultimately, Tian Yun's entire body was completely annihilated, leaving no bones or remains.
Seeing Tian Yun finally utterly destroyed, Wang Ruoxie couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
To kill this guy, he had gone through great efforts and taken significant risks.
If the opponent had acted directly when he started carving the divine patterns, it would likely have been him who would have perished.
After killing Tian Yun, Wang Ruoxie continued forward.
Without Tian Yun's threat, his speed of advance also increased considerably.
However, as he continued to advance, the divine rune restrictions and arrays ahead also became more and more numerous and terrifying.
Even with his current Tier Six Divine Rune Master methods, he couldn't completely break through, only forcibly going through with the protection of the divine rune array map.
Fortunately, his body was strong. Otherwise, even with the divine rune array map blocking most of the attacks, he would have had difficulty making it through unscathed.
After approximately a few days of traveling, Wang Ruoxie arrived at a relatively well-preserved palace.
However, this palace was filled with demonic presence, even faint howls of demons echoed from within.
"Demon Sword Palace."
Wang Ruoxie looked up, seeing three flamboyant characters on the plaque above the palace gate.
Raising his steps, he walked into the Demon Sword Palace.
"What is a demon?"
Upon stepping into the Demon Sword Palace, an ancient sigh suddenly echoed in Wang Ruoxie's mind.
"Following is divine, opposing is demonic."
Another voice, as if crossing through time and space, came from ancient times.
"What is a demon?"
"A righteous heart is divine, a sinister heart is demonic."
"What is a demon?"
"I wish to be a demon, defy the heavens."
"I wish to be a demon, cut through the heavens."
