"The executioner?" Li Shenrong raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." The man in black nodded, "Think about it properly, you could even get the chance to meet the Nine fox kings and become their direct disciple." Then he threw out another bet. His face was full of smile while saying it because he was sure that Li Shenrong would be tempted.
Infact given such a huge opportunity who wouldn't be tempted in the whole of Eastern territory.
Li Shenrong suddenly threw his head back and laughed until tears came out as if he was hearing the funniest joke in the world. Then suddenly his laughter stop abruptly and his countenance turned cold.
"Join Nine fox king pavilion? Nothing but a measly organisation operated by some dirty beasts. Do you think you are worthy? Even if your nine fox kings came here and begged me I wouldn't spare a second glance. What do you amount to?" Li Shenrong said mercilessly, his tone was full of mockery.
The executioner's face turned black as the bottom of a pot. Then he felt extreme anger boiling inside. He was the high and mighty executioner, how dare a mere Bone tempering realm ant humiliate him?
"Good, i knew someone like you wouldn't just lower your head. I would've still spared your life if not for the fact that you insulted his majesty the nine Fox kings." The executioner sighed as he said this. A ruthless light flashed across his eyes as his aura of the Heaven congregation realm soared.
"That's more like it. Come come, let me taste the blood of a Heaven congregation realm expert." Li Shenrong's blood soaked red robe fluttered and his black hair swayed with the wind.
….
Far away, Wu Han who was leaning his body against the rubble and Wu Xia was treating to his wound saw this, they felt a bit strange in their hearts.
"The young noble is really full of surprises. I never expected him to be an expert of the Martial dao. Looking at his back makes my blood boil." Wu Han commented with a gaze full reverence.
"Indeed father. He is a completely different person when he fights." Wu Xia chirped.
….
The executioner pulled out a large blade from his storage ring. The blade was bloody red and emitted a terrifying bloodlust. Who knows how many people it had slaughtered to have such terrifying bloodlust.
When the blade appeared his aura grew even stronger. Li Shenrong who was at the opposite smiled calmly. His heart was tranquil as ever.
The executioner was extremely fast, his every movement was full of saint laws. It means he was using more than one type of saint law. It was terrifying to face off against such opponents.
Both side clashed in midair with a rumbling sound which almost made the onlookers eardrum buzz.
Li Shenrong's body was smashed to the ground. He crawled out of the pit with a terrifying injury on this chest. His rib bones and internal organs were visible as blood gushed out continuously.
"Humm? It is indeed difficult for me to fight against a Heaven congregation realm expert of your level with my Bone tempering realm cultivation." Li Shenrong inspected his body and smiled slightly.
The executioner's eyes narrowed slightly. He was surprised by the fact that even with such injury this young man could speak so casually and even smiled.
Inwardly he was astonished and lamented the fact that such a heavenly genius was going to die. He appreciated talented youngsters very much.
"Young man, out of respect for your heroism and courage i will go all out. Don't worry it will be a painless death. Think of it as my appreciation toward your talent and temperament." The executioner's voice wasn't loud but Li Shenrong heard him clearly.
"It is too early to talk about my death." He chuckled and said.
"Hell fiends burning soul immortal physique." Li Shenrong uttered and his body shone again with a golden light.
He activated another immortal physique. Blood pouring out of his injuries stopped immediately but his it didn't heal.
"What kind of technique is this?" The executioner felt confused.
"Come again." Li Shenrong roared and punched out again.
"Humph!" The executioner snorted and fought back.
Their collision created dazzling sparks in the sky with loud rumbling noises.
Spectetors standjng far away could feel their heart palpitating.
Once again Li Shenrong was inside a deep pit. This time he was standing on the pit, that slash of the executioner forced his legs to touch the ground. Still, another deep wound which stretched from his right shoulder to his stomach was created.
"Not bad." Li Shenrong inspected himself again and commented.
Humm? He has grown stronger? Is this some kind of technique that trades injuries to acquire strength? The executioner thought inwardly.
Li Shenrong gazed at the executioner who was hovering above the sky and smirked.
"Its time to end this." He said.
"Heavenly demons ocean immortal physique.
Flaming devils flame immortal physique.
Timeless demonic immortal physique.
Come out." Li Shenrong willed inside his mind as three blinding light exploded from his body.
"This again?" The executioner felt a great threat from Li Shenrong as he saw him approaching.
Deep dread appeared in his eyes. It was a natural instinctive fear of the normal physic user toward higher level physiques.
Now Li Shenrong was like a burning sun, a raging flame. He could destroy everything in existence with just by showing his presence. A vast and majestic power emanated from him which even made the executioner's sword tremble.
The executioner could clearly feel his blade's fear. He didn't dare to believe it.
It was one thing for sentience beings like him to have fear but it was hard to believe the weapon in hand which had gone through thick and thin with him was also feeling dreadful.
"Hahaha old man! Have a taste of my punch." Li Shenrong's arrogant laughter echoed in the battlefield.
"Damn it." The executioner didn't want to face Li Shenrong in his current indomitable state. He wanted to run away but it was too late.
Ghosts and devils cried out, wind blew and flames raged as the punch landed. It seemed his punch could evaporate ocean and destroy a continent.
A thunderous rumbling sound echoed shaking the holy city.
Li Shenrong landed on the ground with pale countenance. His breathing was ragged. Too much bloodloss made him feel a little weak.
The executioner was lying inside a deep pit while holding the hilt of his blade. His red blade had shattered completely, only the hilt was left. He himself was on his last breath, it seemed his candle of life would extinguish at any moment.
Li Shenrong approached the executioner slowly step by step.
Suddenly he frowned and looked above. Two person was descending on the battlefield, one had a strange mask and another was a girl with pink cat mask.
When Li Shenrong's gaze landed on the man with strange mask, his eyes narrowed slightly. Even if the strange masked man didn't expose his aura Li Shenrong could still feel it.
"A Dao sovereign?"
The strange masked man observed the surroundings and soon his gaze fell on Li Shenrong as if he understood everything.
"Will you commit suicide or i have to do it myself?" The strange masked man uttered. His voice was full of indifference.
Wu Xia and the other Wu clan members took a deep breath. They felt despair and worried for him.
When Li Shenrong heard the strange masked man's words he laughed out loud.
"Why do people always think i am a fish on the chopping board?" With that said he smiled and shook his head.
