The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 901

Chapter 901: 901

"What’s the matter, Ji Ruyi? Don’t you dare?"

The mysterious figure on the Dominance Leaderboard sneered with a sinister smile, dressed in a black garment adorned with blood patterns, his half-white hair coiled atop his head, and his face marred by burn scars, giving him a ghastly appearance.

Faced with his provocation, Ji Ruyi’s complexion turned sour in an instant.

"Cowardly scum dares to challenge the Ji Family!"

Ji Ruyi slammed the table as he stood up, with Qin Jun present, he feared no one!

No sooner had his voice fallen than he leaped into the fray, without bringing along the Ji Family elders. His presence alone was sufficient.

"That person seems to be Guo Kui, ranked eighty-seven on the Dominance Leaderboard. It’s said that he has a rare half-bloodline in him."

"Guo Kui? Not very famous, is he?"

"In the eastern domains, Guo Kui still holds considerable prestige, but he is a man of restraint and reserve. Why is he so brazen now?"

"What’s so strange about that? Even the low-profile Demon Emperor dares challenge the Great Emperor."

"This is the moment of transition between old and new eras; those Dominance Leaders who’ve hidden their edge will hold nothing back!"

The creatures discussed animatedly, Ji Ruyi had a great reputation as the foremost family—if he were defeated, that would be interesting indeed.

Moreover, Qin Jun and the Ji Family had an indissoluble relationship.

Many beings were watching Qin Jun’s expression closely and noticed he was also looking at Guo Kui. For a time, they all started to silently mourn for Guo Kui.

Being too arrogant often led one to seek one’s doom.

"I’ll kill you first, then annihilate your Ji Family!"

Guo Kui said with a grim smile. As he spoke, black mana erupted from his hands, quickly forming into two black swords. He stomped his right foot, and with an explosive sound, his figure dashed toward Ji Ruyi like a phantom.

Ji Ruyi scoffed disdainfully, raising his hands. Four green wheels of the Great Dao emerged around him, each spinning rapidly and creating gusts of wind.

Qin Jun’s eyebrows raised slightly, surprised that Ji Ruyi’s Wheel of the Great Dao had already reached the fourth layer.

The Wheel of the Great Dao could be used for both defense and attack, and it was profoundly intricate. With each breakthrough, an additional wheel could be conjured concurrently, for a total of nine layers.

"Ji Yongsheng, have you only passed down the Wheel of the Great Dao?" Qin Jun wondered inwardly. The Cycle Heavenly Palm was more effective in offense, whereas the Wheel of the Great Dao mainly served as defense. Ji Ruyi used the Wheel of the Great Dao right from the start instead of the Cycle Heavenly Palm, which made Qin Jun doubt whether the Ji Family truly knew the Cycle Heavenly Palm.

"I indeed left behind a scroll on cultivating the Wheel of the Great Dao. The Cycle Heavenly Palm is too profound; if passed down, I fear it could bring calamity upon the whole Xuandang world," Ji Yongsheng explained.

A Divine Power that could absorb the enemy’s mana was simply heaven-defying!

If one mastered the Cycle Heavenly Palm, there was no need to worry about depleting one’s mana.

In his time, Ji Yongsheng fought with countless gods and immortals for five hundred years thanks to the Cycle Heavenly Palm.

Boom—

Guo Kui was sent flying by the overlapping force of the four Wheels of the Great Dao, skimming across hundreds of meters in the air before quickly stabilizing his figure. With crossed swords, he slashed out, his Sword Energy rampaging along the way, striking the Wheels of the Great Dao.

The dreadful power forced Ji Ruyi to retreat repeatedly, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"How can this be!"

Waves of shock tore through Ji Ruyi’s heart; since when had Guo Kui become so powerful?

If one were to look closely, they would notice Ji Ruyi’s hands were trembling slightly.

With a sinister laugh, Guo Kui attacked Ji Ruyi again. Now more cautious, Ji Ruyi struck back with a palm, immediately conjuring a hundred-meter tall green giant palm that collided head-on with Guo Kui.

"Didn’t you say you didn’t pass on the Cycle Heavenly Palm?" Qin Jun frowned and thought.

"That’s hardly the Cycle Heavenly Palm; it merely looks the part!" Ji Yongsheng said irritably.

Under the gazes of many, Guo Kui effortlessly dispersed the giant green palm and then rushed toward Ji Ruyi, unstoppable.

This scene changed the expressions of many Dominance Leaders.

Guo Kui actually gained the upper hand!

"Thinking to deceive Heaven and cross the sea?"

Donghuang Taiyi mocked, causing the demon kings around him to be filled with confusion, yet they dared not ask more.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny also frowned, unsure of what he was thinking.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Guo Kui swung his swords swiftly, twin swords like the wind, as fast as afterimages, furiously landing on the Cycle Heavenly Palm, forcing Ji Ruyi to retreat, unable to strike back.

"How could this guy be so strong..."

Ji Ruyi clenched his teeth in thought as he was completely unable to parry the frenzied attacks of Guo Kui.

Being crushed by a Dominance Leader who ranked far below him, Ji Ruyi felt a towering fury within his heart.

"This guy is weird!"

The Demon Emperor spoke gravely, and not just him. Xing Tian and Patriarch Bodhi also looked at Guo Kui with surprise.

The elders of the Ji Family were even more nervous; they certainly did not hope for their family head to be seriously injured or even killed.

"Did Guo Kui take some medicine? How is he this powerful?"

"I don’t believe it... a fake Guo Kui perhaps!"

"So strong, Ji Ruyi is going to lose!"

"Another top ten Dominance Leader is about to fall?"

"This is overturning all understanding, it seems the real strong ones have always been hiding their skills."

Beings discussed excitedly, the Ji Family had always been domineering, and not many beings liked them, so seeing Ji Ruyi about to fail, the spectating beings only felt more thrilled.

Qin Jun’s brow furrowed, and for some reason, he felt a familiar aura emanating from Guo Kui, as if he had experienced it somewhere before.

Moreover, he could tell that Guo Kui’s every move was merciless, intent on killing Ji Ruyi.

Fortunately, Ji Ruyi had the protection of the Cycle Heavenly Palm, for the moment safe.

"If Ji Ruyi encounters a life-threatening danger, you must intervene."

Qin Jun instructed Xing Tian, after all, he had secretly allied with Ji Ruyi, he couldn’t watch Ji Ruyi be killed in such a grisly manner.

"Yes!"

Xing Tian said gravely, his gaze fixed on Guo Kui, eyes full of doubt.

He felt that there seemed to be something powerful hidden inside Guo Kui.

Ji Ruyi quickly manipulated a Cycle Heavenly Palm to envelop Guo Kui, hindering his movement.

"Divine Power, not bad!"

Guo Kui laughed, and as his voice fell, the two black swords infused with magical power began to crazily slash, shattering the Cycle Heavenly Palm in the blink of an eye, which so shocked Ji Ruyi that his face showed a look of panic.

Why was this guy’s strength increasing as the battle continued?

Guo Kui certainly wouldn’t explain. His form turned into dozens of afterimages, attacking Ji Ruyi from all directions, causing Ji Ruyi’s eyes to blur, unable to distinguish the real from the false.

Thud! A sound echoed!

The black sword pierced into Ji Ruyi’s chest, blood splattering along the blade, both of their eyes locked in a gaze, a look of anger and unwillingness on Ji Ruyi’s face, while Guo Kui’s grim smile resembled a sword demon’s.

Ji Ruyi, defeated!

"Die!"

Guo Kui raised his left hand, ready to decapitate Ji Ruyi with the other sword.

Xing Tian’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately took out the Qi-ax and threw it directly into the purple array, smashing a gap in the seemingly indestructible purple array, the Qi-ax spinning as it chopped towards Guo Kui, all in an incredibly fast process that left the beings unable to react.

Before Guo Kui’s sword could fall, he sensed danger approaching from behind. He instinctively turned to dodge, Qi-ax cut through his black sword and landed between the two, causing the white jade surface of the ground to crack.
