"What?!"

The other handsome god was completely shocked. He didn't help his companion, because he thought it was demeaning for them to kill a mere slave together.

However, out of all expectation, his companion was flung back by the slave!

How was it possible?

They were superior gods. How could enslaved human beings compare to them?

"Damn it!"

The god was flung a hundred meters back before he finally regained balance. His face was red; his blood was roiling and his arm was trembling because of Su Ping's attack. It was an insufferable humiliation for him!

Why had a mere human been bold enough to do that?

"Die! You must die!" the god roared. The illusion behind his back suddenly merged with his body. Dazzling golden light radiated from his body in such a way that he looked like the Sun. He roared and charged with his spear again, freezing time and space.

However, right when time and space had been frozen, an even more dazzling red light broke the consolidated picture and shined on the god's face. The glowing golden light then ebbed like a tide, and a golden wound appeared on the god's handsome face.

His eyes widened as he found it impossible to believe.

He didn't believe that Su Ping could hurt him, or that he would even dare to!

This human being is just a slave! Such insubordination is enough to have his whole family executed!

The handsome god nearby changed his expression too and said coldly, "How bold of you!"

Still holding his sword, Su Ping gazed at them coldly and said, "Are all gods like you?"

"You're asking to be killed!" the handsome god roared and suddenly took action. A majestic illusion appeared behind his back and melded with his body. He then joined his companion and attacked Su Ping.

They had to kill the slave in order to defend their honor.

Su Ping's eyes turned cold. Joanna was still stunned, so he knew he couldn't count on her help. He asked Tang Ruyan to step back, as the battle's aftershocks would be enough to kill her.

"I've killed a lot of beasts before, but I haven't executed a god yet. I'm going to become a god slayer today!" Thirst for blood arose in his eyes. His Blood Cloud Sword was an ancient demonic sword that could trigger the brutality in his heart. Its former master had been corrupted, eventually turning into a devil because of it.

In addition, the sword could affect and influence its opponent.

Boom!

The sword emitted a torrent of bloody air that had accumulated for thousands of years. Its coldness was enough to trap the weak-minded in all kinds of illusions. At the moment, the two gods were apparently affected, although the influence was only mild.

Even so, a mild influence was enough to change the outcome of such a high level battle .

"Die!!"

Su Ping didn't hesitate to attack; he would not go easy on an opponent who was already determined to kill him.

What about the consequences? He would have been worried if he were in the outside world, but he was fearless when acting in the cultivation sites!

Boom!

The Field of Darkness and the power of his small world were spread out. At the same time, the sword'”shrouded in the power of faith'”was moved to slash at the two gods.

The golden light from the two gods was soon drowned in Su Ping's field. Still, a golden light burst out when he approached them, driving the darkness away. The handsome god, ablaze with divine power, roared, "Die!"

His spear, filled with aggressive power, reached Su Ping in the blink of an eye'”

But Su Ping reacted even faster. Red light flashed in his hand, and he activated the first Astral Painting, summoning power to knock the spear away. Then, he stabbed faster than the two gods could react, and caused a huge wound on the handsome god's chest. Blood gushed out.

The other god trembled with fury after seeing that. He charged at Su Ping like a golden eagle.

Su Ping flashed and covered his body with the power of the Eight Nine Astral Painting. His moves as unpredictable as a ghost's, he dashed to the god's back and punched him; his brutal strength instantly cracked the god's bones. Both high beings were heavily wounded as they fell off the mountain.

It was exactly at that moment when a furious roar echoed through the world. "Who's bold enough to cause trouble in the Rain Clan?"

The two falling gods were raised by a shining cloud. At the same time, a general in armor appeared in the void with a long spear in his hand; he gazed at Su Ping and Joanna coldly.

Joanna trembled, unconsciously lowering her head.

Su Ping, however, stepped up and looked back at him with his head held high. "Who's causing trouble? They attacked us first. I was only fighting back!"

"Shut up!" the general suddenly roared, "You're just an inferior species. You don't get to talk!"

Su Ping narrowed his eyes, but didn't bother to say anything else.

The general looked back at the two wounded gods and became even more grave. While healing them with divine power, he said, "You've hurt two guards of the Rain Clan. Tell me which clan you're from. How bold of you!"

He was speaking to Joanna, with killing intent in his eyes, as if he was going to punish not just Joanna but also her whole clan!

Being of high-rank, the Rain Clan was second to none except the Ancestral Gods. Not even the other high-ranked clans would dare to be as disrespectful, unless they were among their enemies.

However, enemies would never come alone, otherwise it would be tantamount to suicide.

Joanna turned pale. She naturally heard what the god implied; her entire clan would face the Rain Clan's retaliation if she were to reveal the name. Gods weren't the peaceful sort, but they did have a strict system. The high-ranked regarded the low-ranked as weeds, and the low-ranked regarded other species as slaves. Prejudice was deep in their bones.

"I, I..."

Joanna's voice trembled. She knew that the Rain Clan was a high-ranked clan with Ancestral Gods. Even though her original self was a God of Rules, she couldn't compare to them, at all.

"What are you scared of?"

Seeing how terrified and meek Joanna was'”immensely different from her usual self'”Su Ping frowned and said, "I'll prop up the sky for you if it falls. Besides, you can't be killed here. No matter who he is, we don't need to reason with him if he acts this stubbornly!"

Slightly dazed, Joanna looked at Su Ping and then the general. Her eyes were skittish, as she was having trouble making up her mind.

"Your original self is an Ascendant. Those two gods couldn't even beat me. Why did you allow them to yell at you? I'm going to find out what they can possibly do to us!"

Su Ping sneered and said to the general, "You call me an inferior species. I wonder why you're so confident and arrogant; you're nothing remarkable. Two of you are of a higher realm than mine and attacked me together, but failed. What do you think you're capable of?"

His words were delivered with sarcasm, contempt written all over his face.

His attitude made the general's expression freeze. He shifted her eyes from Joanna to Su Ping, then expressed his indifference as he softly said, "Die!"

Unimaginable power suddenly rose from all directions like an invisible hand that contained the law of destruction. It was going to squeeze Su Ping.

Su Ping sensed the danger; he then roared and unleashed all his strength. He slashed at his opponent after unfolding his small world and his field, trying to cut apart the surrounding power.

His attack caused a crack, and he instantly vanished through the opening. He then reappeared hundreds of meters away with blood on his lips, but he gazed at his opponent aggressively and laughed. "Is this the best you can do? Pfft!"

The general narrowed his eyes. The indifference in his eyes was gone; he was rather shocked actually. He was able to sense that Su Ping was a level lower than his, while he was already at the peak of his level; dealing with that human should have been as easy as killing an ant.

However, he failed to do that!

The ant had squeezed through his fingers and escaped!

His eyes turned grim, and he said, "Is this why you're so arrogant? Unfortunately, you're too stupid. A worthless bug like you should have never come here!"

The illusion of a god appeared behind his back again, as he attacked a second time.

Su Ping immediately sensed that the surrounding power was ten times greater. He could vaguely see another world, which was moving towards him, crushing him!

Is this the illusion of a world?

Su Ping was aware of the Star Lords' means of attack. Some attacked with their small worlds, and some attacked with projections of their small worlds.

It would be very hard to repair small worlds if they were broken in battle. Using projections of their small worlds was much safer.

Of course, those projections would be much weaker too.

Su Ping was incensed by his opponent's arrogance; he then unleashed his own small world.

Bang!

An unstoppable power fell on top of him. Su Ping immediately detected that his small world was being squished. Soon after, he lost control of his own body. In the end, that terrifying power rolled back, creating a force field which confined Su Ping's body.

The nearby Joanna could not help but roar, "No!"

Bang!

Su Ping's body exploded, turning into a bloody pulp the moment she said that.

Farther in the distance'”Tang Ruyan's eyes widened with disbelief when she saw that gory scene happening. Is Su Ping dead?

No, no way!

Tang Ruyan was stunned for two seconds. Then, her eyes turned bloodshot. She let out a devastating roar and then charged at the general.

She had completely forgotten that the general was a god. She only knew that Su Ping was dead. He cannot die!

Bang!

Tang Ruyan's body exploded dozens of meters away. The general didn't even bother to look at her, because killing her was easier than breathing for him.

But then, the recently blown up Su Ping reappeared. He had seen how Tang Ruyan had died for him a moment earlier. Even though they could resurrect infinitely in that plane, he was still deeply touched when he saw her crying for him. He felt that there were flames burning in his heart.

"Let's see if the gods can continue acting arrogantly once your proud heads lie underneath my feet!" Su Ping chuckled and said.

Horrifying flames leaped from his back, then fluttered over his body, making the overall temperature rise. He then stepped up; his pupils were sharpened, turning into vertical slits, while his body also changed. Wings of flames behind his back made him look like a fiery bird.

"Huh?"

The general and the two gods were shocked.

They didn't expect that Su Ping could be revived. Even stranger, Su Ping's aura was somewhat familiar to them.

It was an honorable and distant aura that belonged to the mythical creatures from the age of chaos!

The only things that would scare the gods were those entities.

Gods were an ancient species in their own right, but some of the mythical creatures had a longer history than gods did.

Of course, there would be weaker beings among them, which would not deserve much attention.

However, Su Ping was releasing the aura of a strong mythical creature, which was very likely one of the Golden Crows!

"You're a descendant of the God Warriors? That's impossible. How can the bloodline of the God Warriors appear in such an inferior species?" the general mumbled in shock.

Su Ping's hands, which had turned into claws, were already slashing at the general with sword tightly gripped.

Roused by Su Ping's killing intent, the general came back to himself and said coldly, "Even Golden Crow descendants shall be executed for disgracing the Rain Clan!"

He projected his world, aiming to crush Su Ping again.

Su Ping spouted golden flames, and unleashed his power like the sun. He managed to shatter the small world's projection before his body was squished, and then sent a flame to the general.

Right after dying, Su Ping chose to resurrect himself'”as well as the Little Skeleton and the Dark Dragon Hound'”on the spot. He quickly merged with them again and charged at his opponent.

"Again?"

The general was obviously stunned. He was certain about having killed the young human. Is it a resurrection skill like the one used by phoenixes? But can they even do it consecutively?

Besides, Golden Crows had different abilities, even if both species were birds.

"Go to hell!"

The general didn't believe it. He attacked again and extinguished the flame with the power of faith.

Bang!

Su Ping waved his sword and sliced the world's projection apart. He wasn't crushed this time. After two failures, Su Ping had managed to locate the projection's weakness, as well as the trick to unleash all his strength. His sword aura popped the projection like a needle.. Then, he charged at the general with brutal abandon.
