After the myth

Chapter 983: A Man Cannot Stand Firm Without Ruthlessness
"My friend was seriously injured by your sneak attack for no reason. Please compensate me with ten high-quality Dao meridians."

Ding Huan decided that it was better to have less trouble than more, and besides, he didn't know Shi Changxing.

There is also an unspoken rule in Ducheng, which is that it is very hostile to foreign monks.

This young man is just an outsider monk, and you dare to ask him for compensation?

"Hehe..." The bearded man laughed, didn't even bother to pay attention to Ding Huan, turned around and left.

Ding Huan saw the other party turn around and leave, but he didn't care much.

From the time he discovered that the bearded man was out to attack Shi Changxing, to the time he came out to stop him, no one came out to enforce the rules.

This means that the rules here are most likely just unspoken rules. Since they are unspoken rules, there is no need for him to be polite.

There is a saying that if a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.

If you want to gain a foothold in a new place, you have to be ruthless.

Ding Huan brought out his calamity-breaking sword and chopped it out without hesitation.

His domain had already locked onto the bearded man, and now he once again summoned the Tribulation-Breaking Sword.

The bearded man only felt cold all over, and when the breath of death enveloped him, he could hardly believe it.

"You..." The bearded man turned around in horror, but Ding Huan's sword had already chopped off his head.

Without waiting for his soul to overflow, Ding Huan began to peel off his world of the Great Dao.

The monks who were watching were all stunned.

Ding Huan was obviously a newcomer. How could a new cultivator be so arrogant?

Moreover, Ding Huan killed a True Saint with just one sword strike. This strength shows that he is definitely a seventh-step Lord of the Universe.

At this moment, Ding Huan had already peeled off the bearded man's Great Dao universe world and swept away everything in his world.

Then a ball of fire burned the bearded man's soul to ashes.

The process was so short that the bearded man was even still in disbelief.

The monks watching from the sidelines were all silent as they watched Ding Huan's familiar technique.

All we can say is that Duo Lin Shicong met a ruthless person. Not only did he not get rich this time, but he also lost his life.

As for the matter of randomly killing the True Saint in the Fighting Square, whether anyone will take care of it is a matter for the future.

In the eyes of most people, Ding Huan was able to kill a sixth-step True Saint with one sword and easily peel off the opponent's world of the Great Dao. This was definitely not a simple seventh step.

After Ding Huan took away the things of this true saint, still no one came.

His spiritual thoughts swept over the fighting stage. The Lord of the Universe who had defeated Shi Changxing had already walked down the stage. As for Shi Changxing's planetary magic weapon, no one touched it.

Ding Huan also sighed in his heart, people really need to be a little more ruthless.

If he had not publicly killed the True Saint who had ambushed Shi Changxing, Shi Changxing's planet would probably have been taken away by someone long ago.

That is something of the highest level of treasure from the beginning of the universe, who wouldn't want it?

Ding Huan opened his hand and took away the spear that was stuck in Shi Changxing's body.

Shi Changxing spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up shakily: "Shi Changxing thanks you for saving me."

Although he was nailed to the ground and unable to move, he still knew the process of Ding Huan's attack.

If it weren't for Ding Huan, Shi Changxing would probably not even have a bone left.

"Go put away your magic weapon and let's go." Ding Huan had a lot of things to discuss with Shi Changxing.

Besides, he didn't want to stay in this square any longer.

Unspoken rules are also rules.

Since there are unspoken rules, it means that someone has made these rules.

Therefore, he needed to leave the square quickly and find out the details about Shi Changxing before making further plans.

If it really doesn't work, just leave this place.

"Okay." Shi Chang walked over and raised his hand to put away his Seven Universe Stars.

Even though his Seven Universe Stars are just treasures from the beginning of creation, in his eyes, the Seven Universe Stars are more precious than other people's Chaos Treasures.

"Let's talk about it after we leave Ducheng." Shi Changxing's voice was a little hoarse.

Ding Huan could feel that Shi Changxing's injuries were very serious and it was probably not caused by this injury.

"Do you have a cave here?" Ding Huan was a little confused.

Shi Changxing must have been in Ducheng for more than a day or two, right? Shouldn't we invite him to our cave for a chat?

"I do have a cave in Ducheng, but we'd better go out first." Shi Changxing's tone was a little unnatural.

Ding Huan's heart sank. He felt that it was because he had killed the True Saint.

Because he killed a sixth-step True Saint here, Shi Changxing hoped that he would leave here quickly.

"Let's go." Ding Huan nodded. Even though he had just come in and was about to leave, it didn't matter.

He has plenty of resources for cultivation, and he has no requirements for the rules of heaven and earth, so it doesn't matter whether he stays in Ducheng to cultivate or not.

The terrifying existence in the world of gods did not spare his life, so there shouldn't be such a terrifying existence here, right?

Watching Ding Huan taking Shi Changxing away from Ducheng, no one stopped them.

After leaving Ducheng, Shi Changxing wanted to leave the barrier, but Ding Huan stopped him and said, "I'm afraid your injury will get worse if you leave the barrier now.

Why don't we negotiate here? If we can resolve it here, we don't have to come back again."

Ding Huan had not figured out the situation in the Dao City. After all, the Dao City was full of restrictions, and it was impossible for him to penetrate all the restrictions with his divine sense. Now he was outside the Dao City, and he had already observed the barrier outside. Even if the barrier was sealed, he could easily tear it apart.

"You killed Duolin Shicong, but I'm afraid this matter will not end here. Although most of the Daoyan seventh-step masters in Ducheng have left, there are still at least three or four Daoyan seventh-step masters in it.

If we continue to stay here, they can just activate the barrier to trap us, and we will never have a chance to leave." Shi Changxing's tone was very worried.

Ding Huan looked at Shi Changxing in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Shi, do you mean that there are only three or four seventh-step masters in Ducheng? There are no eighth-step masters? I'm talking about the eighth-step Daoyan masters, and people like you don't count."

Shi Changxing's face turned red. He was clearly at the ninth step of the Great Dao, so why did it not count?

He still replied: "Brother Mo and Brother Lan said that it is almost impossible to achieve the eighth step of the Dao here."

"But Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu?" Ding Huan asked immediately.

"Yes, it's them." Shi Changxing nodded as a matter of course.

He didn't find it strange that Ding Huan knew Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji.

Although Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji fled to the Mist Realm, they had done many great things here in the past. How many people don't know them?

"You all know the secret of the eighth step of Daoyan?"

Shi Changxing laughed at himself: "How could I know, but Brother Mo and Brother Lan must know."

"Do you know where they went?"

Shi Changxing shook his head without hesitation: "I don't know."

This was the first time Ding Huan met him. Even though he saved him, that was not a reason for him to betray his friend.

Besides, until now, he still didn't know why Ding Huan wanted to save him.

"What does the fighting platform mean?"

“You should know the situation in the Mist Realm. It has the supreme principles of heaven and earth that can lead to the highest avenue, but it is very difficult to ask for the truth.

Most people cannot practice in ordinary places in the Mist Realm. Only the Heaven and Earth Dao in Ducheng can accommodate ordinary people to practice, so this place is often overcrowded.

The strong men of Ducheng don't want ordinary people to fight here, so they set up a fighting platform.

Once you step onto the fighting stage, life and death are your own responsibility. There is also a tacit rule here, that is, anyone can take away the defeated person and make a fortune.

Although this rule is only tacitly accepted, there are too many seventh-step experts here, and everyone follows this rule. Over the years, no one has broken it.

Maybe someone has destroyed it, but those who do so usually don’t live long.”

Shi Changxing sighed after he finished speaking.

Back then, he, Shi Changxing, was also an existence standing at the pinnacle of the universe. Who would not respectfully address him as Taoist Changxing when seeing him?
After leaving the big universe, my edges and corners were slowly worn away, and my life became so frustrating.

"In that case, let's go into Ducheng and talk in your cave." Ding Huan had a lot of things he wanted to ask Shi Changxing.

Not only that, he also wanted to find out where Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were.

It would be difficult for him to deal with the existence in the chaos alone.

The reason why Shi Changxing didn't say anything was most likely not because he didn't know, but because he was worried that he was looking for Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji with ill intentions.

"what……"

Shi Changxing looked at Ding Huan in confusion.

Including the Daoyan Seventh Step who was injured by him, there are at least four Daoyan Seventh Steps in this city.

If we enter Ducheng at this time and are stopped inside, we will be trapped.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "Do you think those Daoyan seventh-step cultivators who wanted to attack us would wait until now?"

Ding Huan deliberately stayed outside this lonely city and did not leave, just to see the reactions of those strong men.

If they really wanted to attack him, he and Shi Changxing would never be able to leave Ducheng. How could they have waited for the two of them to stay here for such a long time?

Shi Changxing understood what Ding Huan meant.

Although he understood Ding Huan's meaning, it was still very dangerous to enter Ducheng now.

No matter how strong the young man in front of him is, he is only at the seventh step of the Great Dao, and there are at least four people at the seventh step of the Great Dao in Ducheng.

As for him, he is unable to recover his strength for the time being.

But thinking of his daughter, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go in."

"As long as the group of seventh-step Daoist saints have not returned to Ducheng, we are safe." Ding Huan waved his hand, signaling Shi Changxing not to worry.

It is absolutely impossible for four seventh steps to stop him and Shi Changxing.

At that time, he, Ji Sixin and Di He faced six masters of the universe, but they were safe and sound, right?
As for Shi Changxing's injuries, he had already seen them. They were just corroded by the Dao rhyme of the Great Dao.

If this kind of wound is not healed, it may entangle you for a lifetime, and eventually lead to death under the corrosion of the great Dao.

He had been corrupted by the Dao rhyme of killing for ten thousand years.

When he understood the secret, he just raised his hand and wiped it away.

The aura of Dao that corroded Shi Changxing Avenue was countless levels lower than the aura of Dao that corroded his body in the first place.

So he only needed a moment to save Shi Changxing.

"Tell me, why do you want to fight with that seventh-step universe master?"

"Him? The Lord of the Universe? Haha." Shi Changxing sneered disdainfully.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
