"Is that fellow?"
Ye Ling squinted as he saw the black obelisk descending from the sky in the far distance.
He hadn't forgotten the grudge from the sneak attack by the Black Knight last time!
"Since it's you, then it's perfect. I'll take care of you this time as well!"
Upon realizing the arrival was the Black Knight, one of "their" members, Ye Ling quickly devised a rough plan and immediately fled towards the center of the Ji Wu Continent.
At this moment, in the center of the Ji Wu Domain, the Black Knight stood calmly in the void, looking at the shattered land below, and said indifferently, "Primordial Martial King, one of the seven ancient kings of Primordial Chaos, was defeated by Tian Yun during the War of the Seven Kings, and was sealed and suppressed. He escaped the seal 300,000 years ago, lurking in the Ji Wu Domain as a Class One fugitive."
Beneath the black obelisk, the Primordial Martial King slowly revealed his form, baring his teeth at the Black Knight and cursing, "Are you fucking crazy? Ye Ling is in the Ji Wu Domain, why aren't you going after him and coming to deal with me?"
"Now Primordial Chaos is your overseers' territory, do you really not leave any way out for us?"
At this moment, the Primordial Martial King was so enraged that he completely disregarded his image and cursed at the Black Knight.
According to his plan, the overseers should have been fully focused on hunting Ye Ling, and he could have used this opportunity to escape.
But he never expected that as soon as he gathered his strength, the Black Knight would come charging directly.
Wouldn't this mean he was providing cover for Ye Ling?
The Black Knight certainly wouldn't openly admit that they hadn't yet captured Ye Ling's aura, so he could only pick on a soft target first.
"Whether it's you or Ye Ling, you are both wanted criminals, and neither of you will leave today."
As the Black Knight spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and another black obelisk materialized out of thin air, smashing towards the Primordial Martial King's head.
"Don't push your luck too far. In the years since I escaped, I haven't been idle!"
Seeing the Black Knight about to capture him without a word, the Primordial Martial King was also angered. He no longer concealed his strength, directly shattering the black obelisk that was suppressing him. Then, transforming his hand into a blade, he unleashed a blade energy towards the black obelisk pressing down from the sky!
The blade light flashed and passed, splitting the black obelisk into two. The blade energy, with its speed and power undiminished, charged towards the Black Knight.
"Indeed, you are much stronger than recorded in the files. It seems you haven't wasted your time since you escaped."
Seeing the blade energy approaching, the Black Knight did not dodge. He raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and a dark shield materialized in front of him.
Buzz—!
The moment the Primordial Martial King's blade energy struck the dark shield, the dark shield emitted a strange sound, and then the Primordial Martial King's blade energy vanished.
"What is that?"
Seeing the Black Knight's shield absorbing his power, the Primordial Martial King's pupils constricted slightly. Then, he instantly moved behind the Black Knight and unleashed another blade energy.
The space of the Ji Wu Domain was directly torn apart, and the blade energy, carrying infinite might, slashed towards the Black Knight at a speed exceeding light!
Buzz—!
That strange sound echoed again. The Primordial Martial King's blade energy was like light captured by a black hole, once again absorbed by the Black Knight's great shield.
And the Black Knight hadn't even moved, still with his back to the Primordial Martial King.
"Impossible!"
Seeing his blade energy absorbed by the Black Knight's great shield once more, the Primordial Martial King exclaimed. Just as he was about to unleash another strike, a black obelisk descended from the sky!
Bang!!!
The Primordial Martial King was pressed to the ground by the black obelisk. The land within a radius of tens of thousands of miles instantly shattered, and countless kingdoms and forces were destroyed in an instant.
Ye Ling, who had just arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, couldn't help but sigh as he saw the black obelisk suppressing the Primordial Martial King, "This fellow... is quite fierce!"
The strength displayed by the Primordial Martial King now was already greater than that of the Primordial Space King, yet he was still being suppressed by the Black Knight...
The gap in strength displayed between the two made even Ye Ling sigh repeatedly.
Boom!!!
While Ye Ling was marveling at the Black Knight's power, the suppressed Primordial Martial King refused to yield. His fists furiously pounded the black obelisk that was suppressing him. In less than a second, numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the indestructible black obelisk, which then exploded.
"I don't believe it!"
The Primordial Martial King flew out from the shattered earth, charging towards the Black Knight in the air like a cannonball.
"Meaningless struggle."
Seeing the Primordial Martial King charging at him again, the Black Knight remained unfazed. He raised his dark great shield and placed it in front of him.
"Watch me shatter your damn shield!"
Seeing the Black Knight raise his shield again, the Primordial Martial King decided not to use any martial arts, intending only to break through the Black Knight's defense with pure strength.
However, when the Primordial Martial King's fist landed on the Black Knight's great shield, he felt as if he had punched cotton. The power he unleashed was rapidly absorbed by the shield.
"Ignorant fellow."
The Black Knight smiled slightly at the Primordial Martial King and condensed another dark spear with his right hand, thrusting it fiercely at the Primordial Martial King.
Chii!!!
The dark spear easily pierced the Primordial Martial King's chest. Subsequently, bloody black spikes grew all over the Primordial Martial King's body, turning him into a porcupine, a truly pathetic sight.
The Primordial Martial King cried out in agony, and the entire Ji Wu Domain trembled as if weeping for the pain the Primordial Martial King was enduring.
Ye Ling, observing everything from the shadows, looked at the Primordial Martial King's current state with a grave expression. "No, the gap in strength between the Primordial Martial King and that fellow is too great. If this continues... the Primordial Martial King's Dao heart will be shattered by that fellow!"
Ye Ling realized that if he continued to spectate, the Primordial Martial King's martial heart would be lost. He immediately prepared to act.
However, Ye Ling had not yet confirmed if there were any other members of "them" in the Ji Wu Domain. He did not reveal himself directly, but instead activated the Primordial Script hidden within the Primordial Martial King's body, intending to take control of the Primordial Martial King's body himself.
At this moment, the Primordial Martial King was severely injured, his mental defenses weakened to the extreme. Furthermore, Ye Ling had the advantage of planning while the other was caught off guard. Without much effort, he caused the Primordial Martial King's consciousness to fall into slumber and took over his body.
"Hmm?"
The Black Knight, who had pierced the Primordial Martial King with his spear, suddenly felt a subtle change in the Primordial Martial King's aura and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Before the Black Knight could figure out what was happening, Ye Ling controlled the Primordial Martial King to open his eyes and smiled at the Black Knight, "Hello there."
The next moment, Ye Ling snapped the broken spear in his hand and swept a leg towards the Black Knight's head!
The Black Knight instinctively blocked with his great shield!
Bang!!!
Ye Ling's leg slammed heavily onto the great shield. The Black Knight's great shield failed to absorb Ye Ling's force. He took a heavy blow, and the Black Knight, shield and all, was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground!
"Lord Black Knight!"
The overseers watching from outside the Ji Wu Domain were all dumbfounded.
They couldn't understand... how did this Primordial Martial King change so quickly?
Ye Ling stood in the void, pulled out the broken spear from his chest, and the black spikes that had covered his body disappeared.
He smiled at the semi-conscious Primordial Martial King's consciousness. "Primordial Martial King, actually, I used the Primordial Space King's abilities before to protect your pride."
"Just watch... how I use your body to beat that Black Knight into the ground!"
