As the High Priest of the Azure Cloud Sect, Huo Wutian was naturally well aware of the origins of the Fire Cloud Whip. Therefore, as soon as Aotian took out the Fire Cloud Whip, Huo Wutian recognized it immediately.
At the same time, Huo Wutian was also acutely aware of the power of the Fire Cloud Whip. Even his Dominating Fire Blade might not necessarily surpass the Fire Cloud Whip.
In that moment, Huo Wutian understood that his plan to rely on the advantage of his weapon had been completely shattered.
Holding the Fire Cloud Whip, Aotian did not exhibit any overwhelming confidence to strike down Huo Wutian with a single lash; instead, he felt somewhat awkward.
Among weapons, there were countless types such as swords, spears, and whips. However, Aotian was not particularly skilled with long whips. This was also why he had not taken out the Fire Cloud Whip at the beginning of the battle.
But now, no matter how uncomfortable it felt, Aotian had to use it. After all, a Medium-Grade Treasure could significantly enhance his combat power. Only by doing so could he possibly withstand Huo Wutian wielding the Dominating Fire Blade.
"Kid, not only did you kill Chen Qiao, but you also claimed his weapon, the Fire Cloud Whip. I must say, you have quite a lot of nerve!" Huo Wutian fixed his gaze on Aotian, his eyes revealing a chilling intensity.
"I'm just making good use of what I have. I am someone who treasures artifacts and certainly do not wish for such an Extraordinary Treasure to gather dust," Aotian replied calmly.
"Kid, even if you have the Fire Cloud Whip, what difference does it make? The outcome will remain unchanged!" Huo Wutian shouted sternly.
He then began to swing his Dominating Fire Blade continuously. Instantly, shadows of blades filled the air.
"Ten Thousand Blades Annihilation!"
Suddenly, Huo Wutian roared. Immediately, his long blade began to swing relentlessly toward Aotian.
Countless blade shadows seemed to form a massive Giant Net, aiming to ensnare every elusive target. The Giant Net carried a scorching aura that threatened to engulf Aotian.
As Aotian watched the Giant Net approaching him rapidly, his expression turned extremely grave. This Giant Net composed of innumerable blade shadows was filled with a fierce and blazing energy.
Aotian had no doubt that if he were covered by that Giant Net, it wouldn't be long before he would be reduced to ashes by that searing and violent force.
At that moment, Aotian stepped forward. Suddenly, a faint sound resembling a Dragon's Roar echoed from beneath his feet.
Stunning Dragon Movement Technique!
At this moment, Aotian seemed to be stepping on a divine dragon, the dragon carrying him as he swiftly dodged the encircling Giant Net, giving him an air of being elusive like a dragon that could not be seen in its entirety.
Since Aotian had practiced the remnants of the Stunning Dragon Movement Technique to a minor success, he could now ignore air resistance. Not only had his speed significantly increased, but his body's flexibility had also undergone a qualitative leap.
Thus, relying on his speed and flexibility, Aotian bizarrely twisted out of the dense net of blades.
Huo Wutian was momentarily stunned when he saw that his net of blades had failed to cover Aotian, and his expression quickly turned extremely serious.
After evading the coverage of the net, Aotian did not launch an attack against Huo Wutian; instead, he glanced at the other two battle circles, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
Soon after, the contemplation in Aotian's eyes transformed into determination, as if he had made a sudden decision.
Aotian suddenly swung the Fire Cloud Whip in his hand, and instantly, the long whip seemed to transform into a giant python, violently sweeping toward a certain direction.
In that direction were three or four disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect gathered together.
When those Azure Cloud Sect disciples saw Aotian suddenly attacking them, their faces immediately showed astonishment. Clearly, they did not expect that Aotian, who had just been in peril under the High Priest's command, would suddenly turn against them.
Although these Azure Cloud Sect disciples were all outstanding figures within their sect, they were merely Half-Step Human Spirit warriors who had refined their Mystical Energy to the first level.
Therefore, under Aotian's "Peerless Whip," they simply could not withstand it and were sent flying far away.
Aotian's foot pushed off the ground with great force, and in an instant, he seemed to ride a divine dragon as he quickly headed toward the direction where there were no Azure Cloud Sect disciples surrounding.
Meanwhile, the Fire Cloud Whip coiled around the Azure Cloud Sect disciple who had been knocked down to the ground like a giant python.
In an instant, Aotian pulled three or four disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect and disappeared from Huo Wutian's sight.
"Huo Wutian, if you want to save these useless lives, come with me!"
Although Aotian's figure vanished, his voice echoed continuously in Huo Wutian's ears.
Huo Wutian's eyes burned with a fierce rage, as if this anger could ignite the air around him.
Aotian had actually abducted the outstanding disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect right under his nose, which was enough to infuriate Huo Wutian, the High Priest of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"You brat, even if you escape to the ends of the earth today, I, Huo Wutian, will kill you!"
Huo Wutian's voice, filled with murderous intent, erupted loudly, and then he quickly pursued the direction in which Aotian had disappeared.
Meanwhile, only a dozen or so Azure Cloud Sect disciples remained at the original spot, exchanging glances with each other, alongside two battle circles that were about to determine their victor...
On a desolate hill, Aotian stood quietly, while the three or four Azure Cloud Sect disciples he had abducted lay dead nearby.
"Brat, today you will obediently leave your life here!"
A sudden roar echoed across the hill, and then a figure carrying an overwhelming heat appeared before Aotian.
It was Huo Wutian.
"You're really slow; I've been waiting for you for a long time," Aotian said with a mysterious smile suddenly appearing on his face.
Huo Wutian was momentarily taken aback; then his gaze fell upon the lifeless bodies of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples nearby.
"You killed them?!" Huo Wutian's expression turned extremely grim, his tone revealing a chilling intensity.
Aotian calmly said, "They're just a few worthless individuals. Are you, the High Priest of the Azure Cloud Sect, really getting anxious over them?"
Huo Wutian took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm the anger within him, and said, "Kid, you'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands later; otherwise, I will make you experience a fate worse than death!"
Huo Wutian's tone was extremely cold, enough to make an ordinary person's soul tremble.
However, Aotian was clearly not an ordinary person. He maintained a calm expression and replied, "After letting you jump around for so long, your time of death is now upon you!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Huo Wutian burst into wild laughter, his disdain evident in his voice.
Seeing this, Aotian did not respond but instead let a faint aura of devouring power quietly emanate from his body.
"Kid, I’m tired of hearing your grandiose words! Prepare to die!"
With a furious shout, Huo Wutian charged at Aotian, swinging the Dominating Fire Blade directly towards Aotian's forehead.
As the long blade approached, Aotian felt an unbearable heat, as if he were trapped in an endless purgatory.
"Die!"
As Huo Wutian shouted the word "die," the long blade was now just inches away from Aotian's forehead. At this moment, it was already too late for Aotian to evade.
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Huo Wutian's face, as if he could see Aotian being cleaved in half by his blade.
At that moment, Aotian's right palm suddenly reached for the blade of the Dominating Fire Blade, exuding a carefree demeanor.
Seeing this, Huo Wutian's disdain grew even stronger, but in the next instant, his expression froze.
Aotian firmly grasped the blade of the Dominating Fire Blade, rendering it completely immobile.
Huo Wutian's eyes revealed an incredulous look, and then hot Mystical Energy surged from his body into the great sword without restraint, yet the Dominating Fire Blade remained firmly held in Aotian's hand.
At that moment, Aotian seemed to transform into an endless black hole, absorbing all the power attacking from the Dominating Fire Blade.
Gradually, panic appeared on Huo Wutian's face. He suddenly realized that his Mystical Energy was nearing depletion; if this continued, he would likely be drained to death.
In contrast, Aotian treated the Medium-Grade Treasure Dominating Fire Blade as if it were made of cotton. Even with the Medium-Grade Treasure and Huo Wutian's strength combined, it did not cause Aotian's expression to change in the slightest.
Upon closer inspection, one could faintly see a Heavenly Seal image at the center of Aotian's palm, identical to the Heaven Devouring Seal.
Clearly, Aotian was utilizing the power of the Heaven Devouring Seal to counter Huo Wutian.
The Heaven Devouring Seal is a divine artifact of heaven and earth, and its power is naturally overwhelming. Although Aotian was still weak at this moment and unable to fully unleash the Heaven Devouring Seal's power, challenging opponents beyond his level was not difficult for him.
This was also why Huo Wutian could gain no advantage over Aotian at this time.
Moreover, it explained why Aotian had lured Huo Wutian to fight here. After all, there were others like Sun Jing nearby; if he used the Heaven Devouring Seal there, it would inevitably attract attention. Given Aotian's current strength, he clearly lacked the ability to protect the Heaven Devouring Seal.
Thus, Aotian led Huo Wutian to this desolate and uninhabited place. This way, he could use the Heaven Devouring Seal without any reservations.
At that moment, Aotian's other hand suddenly clenched into a fist, delivering a heavy blow to Huo Wutian's chest.
"Boom!"
Instantly, Huo Wutian flew backward like a kite with its string cut, blood gushing from his mouth and scattering into the air.
After Huo Wutian skidded across the ground and flew out of Far Away, he crashed into a giant rock, losing consciousness completely.
Seeing this, Aotian's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent. Then, he lightly brushed his right hand over the Dominating Fire Blade. Immediately, the Blood Mark planted by Huo Wutian was erased by Aotian using the Heaven Devouring Seal.
Afterward, Aotian shamelessly picked up Huo Wutian's Storage Ring and left the desolate hill.
At the moment Aotian departed, it seemed as if Huo Wutian's head was crushed by some force, exploding into countless chunks of blood.
Azure Cloud Sect High Priest, Huo Wutian, is dead!
