Seeing Ding Huan's Slaughter Dao Sword, Pang Yi's eyes lit up.

However, he seemed to sense something, and the gray stone tablet that was about to be summoned suddenly got swept away by him.

Ding Huan had extremely rich combat experience. Just by looking at Pang Yi's expression and actions, he knew this guy was about to leave.

As for the reason, Ding Huan didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

The Slaughter Dao Sword showed no signs of stopping, cutting through with a murderous curtain.

Pang Yi's shadow was torn in half by the Slaughter Dao Sword at the original spot, but Pang Yi himself had vanished.

Ding Huan put away the Slaughter Dao Sword. He knew that his strike just now had definitely injured Pang Yi.

Because he could sense the Dao Rhythm left by his strike rushing away rapidly, in the blink of an eye, it was already millions of miles away.

This speed was definitely teleportation… no, it was even faster than teleportation.

If it was truly teleportation, Pang Yi's teleportation distance would be too exaggerated.

Pang Yi left in such a hurry, combined with such speed.

Ding Huan judged that Pang Yi's true body was likely in trouble, so the avatar quickly merged with the true body.

A strong cultivator of avatars, once the avatar is cultivated to the extreme, even if the true body and the avatar are separated by several realms or even several planes, they can merge into one instantly.

Although Ding Huan disliked cultivating avatars, he had to admit, the usefulness of avatars was indeed significant.

Di He was also somewhat confused.

Ding Huan's task for him was to intercept Pang Yi, but he still hadn't figured out how Pang Yi left, so how could he intercept him?

Pang Yi left, and everyone could see that Pang Yi didn't leave because he feared Ding Huan, but because of urgent matters.

Geng Yuan came over, "Brother Ding, let me introduce you, this is Lei Hen, also my Dao companion."

Although Ding Huan had saved Huan, Geng Yuan still brought Lei Hen forward to introduce him to Ding Huan.

Before Ding Huan could speak, Lei Hen proactively bowed, "Lei Hen greets Brother Ding."

Ding Huan looked at Lei Hen and said calmly, "Are you looking for an opportunity to have Geng Yuan help you kill me?"

Lei Hen looked at Ding Huan blankly, "Brother Ding, I have never met you before. Geng Yuan and I know and love each other because we are similar in temperament and have aligned Dao hearts.

You are Brother Geng's benefactor, which makes you my benefactor too. Why would I want to kill you?"

Geng Yuan's expression also changed.

Ding Huan had always been someone he respected.

Without Ding Huan, he would still be in a state of decay and despair, let alone re-cultivate the Chaos Dao Technique after Slaying Dao.

But even though he respected Ding Huan, Ding Huan did not respect him in return.

Ding Huan's lack of respect towards him was acceptable, but not respecting Lei Hen was something he found hard to accept.

"Brother Ding, is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Geng Yuan couldn't stand Lei Hen being wronged and stood up.

Ding Huan completely ignored Geng Yuan and continued, "Your father Lei Hongji died at the hands of Mo Wuji, and your brother Lei Chou died by my hand.

You fancy Geng Yuan's Chaos Dao Body cultivating the Chaos Dao Technique, so you think that once you also reach the Seventh Step, you and Geng Yuan together could easily kill me.

You even thought about how to succeed in ambushing me, am I wrong in accusing you?"

Lei Hen stared wide-eyed at Ding Huan, seemingly not understanding what he was talking about.

After Ding Huan finished speaking, her eyes turned slightly red, suppressing the grievance in her heart.

Geng Yuan took a deep breath, pulling Lei Hen behind him, and then looked at Ding Huan, "Brother Ding, even though I know you misunderstood Lei Hen, I still have to say what needs to be said.

Lei Hen's father is indeed called Lei Hongji and indeed fell to Mo Wuji's hands, but Lei Hen's brother Lei Chou is still alive.

Lei Hen never said that her brother was killed by you, nor did she think of joining forces with me to harm you. I know where you got this information, but it's truly someone deliberately stirring trouble and repaying kindness with hatred…"

On saying this, Geng Yuan angrily glared at Shi Wanrong.

Clearly, he believed Shi Wanrong was the one who instigated this whole matter.

After giving Shi Wanrong a warning look, Geng Yuan continued to look at Ding Huan and said:

"Brother Ding, I have proven the Tao to the Seventh Step as the Master of the Universe. If Lei Hen really wanted to deal with you, she wouldn't need to go to such trouble, she just needed to tell me."

Di He caught on to the meaning in Geng Yuan's words and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You are so formidable, even Brother Ding Huan is not your match now?"

Just now, Geng Yuan's words implied that if he made a move, Ding Huan would not be his opponent.

Geng Yuan took a deep breath and said word by word, "Although I shouldn't say this, the fact is just that."

If it weren't for the matter concerning Lei Hen, Geng Yuan wouldn't want to say such things.

He didn't want to overwhelm Ding Huan with his strength.

Nobody knows how powerful the Chaos Dao Body cultivating the Chaos Dao Technique is after reaching the Seventh Step.

Suddenly, Ding Huan took a step forward and raised his palm to strike Lei Hen.

Seeing Ding Huan really about to make a move, Geng Yuan's face instantly changed.

Without hesitation, he punched towards Ding Huan.

At the same time, the Dao Rhythm surged outward, and that punch didn't hold back at all.

Bang! The violent primordial energy clashed, creating collapsing patterns in space.

Lei Hen opened her mouth and spewed a blood arrow, her entire body flying backward.

That was merely the residual Dao Rhythm of a palm strike from Ding Huan.

And Geng Yuan was directly blasted away by Ding Huan's palm, with all the bones in his fist shattered.

Even so, Ding Huan showed mercy, otherwise, Geng Yuan's physical body might have collapsed.

Geng Yuan was shocked looking at Ding Huan.

He always thought that after reaching the True Saint stage, Ding Huan would no longer be a match for him.

And now, having reached the Seventh Step as Master of the Universe, not to mention Ding Huan, Geng Yuan believed no one in the World of Gods could be his match.

Even the Huan who was just rescued by Ding Huan, he believes he would not fear him.

If it hadn't been for Huan already clashing with Pang Yi when he arrived, the one locking Huan wouldn't be Pang Yi, but him.

Yet, Ding Huan casually slapped and nearly tore apart his physical body. What kind of terrifying power is this?

"You..."

Geng Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at Ding Huan with disbelief.

When did Ding Huan's strength become so formidable?

Even stepping into the Seventh Step, he shouldn't be more powerful than his Chaos Dao Body cultivated with the Chaos Dao Technique, right?

Geng Yuan suddenly thought of something. It seems he never truly knew the level of Ding Huan's strength.

Just because he cultivated the Chaos Dao Technique, it made his self-confidence rise to the skies.

Ding Huan did not continue attacking; he had already marked Lei Hen.

Today, he wouldn't kill Lei Hen in front of Geng Yuan.

Mindful of Geng Yuan helping him find Blue Star Island, and their acquaintance, he would give Geng Yuan this face.

As for explaining in detail to Geng Yuan that Lei Hen intends to use him, Ding Huan would not waste words.

Saying it once is enough; if Geng Yuan doesn't listen, he had no need to repeat himself.

He had more important matters, which was to pursue Pang Yi.

"Di He, take Wan Rong and Hou Hen to the Tao City of Gods to find a place to go into seclusion. Once I've handled my matters, I will go to Tao City of Gods."

After transmitting these words to Di He, Ding Huan's figure flickered and he vanished.

No one here could bully Shi Wanrong and Hou Hen with Di He around.

He needed to hasten to kill Pang Yi.

If Pang Yi were to merge with his true self, he'd then test what the level of his power truly was.

Seeing Ding Huan's disappearing figure, Geng Yuan appeared somewhat dazed.

He had just stepped into the Seventh Step not long ago.

Brimming with powerful confidence, he was ready for revenge.

Not only to avenge but also to restore Dao Mountain's prestige.

Yet, before he could begin, he was nearly slapped into serious injury?

Had Ding Huan not shown mercy, he'd have been severely injured.

Is the Chaos Dao Technique combined with the Chaos Dao Body still so weak?

At this moment, Geng Yuan lost the previous confidence in his Great Dao.

"Brother Yuan..." Lei Hen wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, reaching out to grab Geng Yuan's hand.

Geng Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly discarding the bewilderment and unease in his heart.

"Ding Huan has insulted me like this; help me kill these people, otherwise I'll never be able to move on..."

Lei Hen's tears wavered around her eyes, just shy of trickling down.

Geng Yuan's mind cleared suddenly, finally shaking off the previous trance.

His gaze swept over Shi Wanrong and the others, shaking his head as he spoke, "I can't kill them, after all, after all..."

Geng Yuan momentarily couldn't find suitable words to explain.

Although Ding Huan's formidable power exceeded his imagination, he had no enmity with Ding Huan and couldn't act against Ding Huan's friends.

"Hmph, what a wretch."

Respecting his acquaintance with Geng Yuan, Ding Huan didn't continue attacking, but Di He wouldn't stand for this woman and spat without hesitation.

Geng Yuan grew angry inside; could anybody bully Lei Hen?

He stepped forward, throwing a punch at Di He.

Though he wouldn't kill Di He, some form of lesson was necessary.

Di He also swung a punch.

"Boom!"

Crack!

The bones in Geng Yuan's fist, repaired just moments ago, shattered once more.

He himself was sent flying by Di He's punch, spewing a blood arrow from his mouth while in mid-air.

As for his Dao Domain, it too collapsed under Di He's punch.

"Bang!"

Geng Yuan crashed into the ground, thoroughly lost in confusion.

He possesses a Chaos Dao Body, cultivates the Chaos Dao Technique, so why was he so frail?

Why can't anyone crush him?

Of course, he didn't know that Di He had reached the Eighth Step of Great Dao and had merged with a Creation Dao Principle, his strength long surpassing the top tier Seventh Step of Liyan.

And he himself had his Protective Domain shattered by Ding Huan's earlier slap, and his Dao Heart cracked.

In such a state, he had no consideration for Di He's power.

Thus, the outcome was already determined when he attacked.

"Let's go." Di He summoned a Flying Treasure and took Shi Wanrong and the Thick Trace God Emperor away.

Tao City of Gods housed his cave mansion; since Ding Huan asked him to wait there, he would do so.

Lei Hen's eyes glanced over the still-stunned Geng Yuan, an extreme aversion flashing past.

She wanted to find a hitter, and the Chaos Dao Body was just this washed-up?

She resisted her internal aversion and summoned a Flying Treasure, her tone turning gentle: "Brother Yuan, let's go too."
