However, such a simple palm strike became like hitting a cow across a mountain. Ripples actually appeared in the space where Ling Taihe and the other three men were…
The three men who had already fled far away suddenly felt the surrounding air pressure multiply exponentially. They suddenly stopped in midair and spat out large mouthfuls of blood!
As if that was not enough, the air pressure around them continued to increase, the extent of which was enough to crush an ordinary person into a paste.
The three of them desperately tried to escape the strange circle.
After resisting for a while, they were eventually crushed into a paste which scattered in the air…
Ling Taihe’s face turned extremely pale when he saw that.
The few people who were still alive moments ago had just died in pain and disappeared from his eyes without a trace!
Ji Zheng’s expression remained cold. He looked at Ling Taihe, who was already thousands of miles away, and said, “Back then, your Northwest Clan became sworn brothers with my Dual Polarity Sect and took an oath never to kill each other. Although you have already broken your promise, I can’t be like you.”
Ling Taihe thought that Ji Zheng was saying this with an intent to let him go.
But before his worries turned into joy, he heard Ji Zheng continue speaking slowly.
“But you actually dared to have designs on my daughter and want to kill us to take over the Dual Polarity Sect. Now, in the time that I take 10 steps, I’ll let you off today if you can manage to escape.”
After Ji Zheng finished speaking, he took his first steady step forward.
Ling Taihe was burning with anxiety. Without even replying, he activated the spiritual power in his body and flew forward with all his might.
Logically speaking, he was also half a Martial Emperor. No matter how unskillful he was, there was no way he could not escape from Ji Zheng’s control within the time to take 10 steps!
Given that they were both in the Emperor realm, he did not believe that there was any huge difference between them. It was impossible for Ji Zheng to capture him.
Once he returned to the Northwest Clan, there would be experts with the same strength as Ji Zheng protecting the clan and Ji Zheng would not dare to act rashly.
“Eight steps… nine steps…”
10 steps!
Ling Tianhe had long escaped from the nine heavens, but Ji Zheng’s voice could actually penetrate thousands of miles and enter his mind!
“I’ve just comprehended the Nine-Year Technique. Why don’t I use your blood as an offering of sacrifice?”
Oh no…
A thought suddenly popped into Ling Taihe’s mind.
Ji Zheng, who had leveled up at the last minute, had become so much stronger than him. Even though he had exhausted all his spiritual power and fled far away, he was still within his detection range!
“Today… I will definitely die…”
Ling Taihe was a little disheartened. He broke out in cold sweat and almost wanted to give up on resisting.
In just an instant, the clouds above his head suddenly condensed into a huge foot that headed straight down towards Ling Taihe!
Ling Taihe, who stood there waiting for death to come, glared at the huge foot in the sky and shouted.
“I have already fled thousands of miles away, but you still chased after me! After I die, the Northwest Clan’s elders will naturally avenge me!”
Normally, he would not be concerned about a huge foot condensed from clouds. But now, he felt an instinctive fear when he glanced at it.
This was impossible. He was at least a half-Martial Emperor. How could he have such thoughts?
If Ji Zheng hit him with this attack, he would definitely die!
As soon as this thought entered Ling Taihe’s mind, his entire body heated up. He immediately formed a seal with his hands in front of his chest, and prepared to fight this huge foot head-on.
Ling Taihe knew very well that the current Ji Zheng was no longer a half-crippled old man, but a newly promoted Martial Emperor. If he gave it his all, he might be able to earn a chance of survival.
“Hah!”

He waved his hands and a pair of huge hands immediately condensed in the sky. However, they were still much smaller compared with Ji Zheng’s Dharma Idol.
The huge hands clenched into fists to block off Ling Taihe’s head. steady as Mount Tai. He actually wanted to make use of the power of the huge foot to break it up.
However, Ling Taihe had underestimated the divine power of a Martial Emperor.
“Poof——”
He grabbed his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the huge hands hit the huge foot made of clouds, but it was like a fist hitting cotton. The clouds scattered, the foot passed through the Dharma Idol fists that were blocking the disaster for Ling Taihe and stepped on him!
This huge foot weighed ten thousand pounds. Even Ling Taihe, who was a half-Martial Emperor, could not withstand it at all and was ruthlessly stepped on.
“How is this possible… How is this possible!”
Ling Taihe screamed at the top of his lungs.
He had planned carefully for so many years. How could the situation suddenly change so drastically!
Not only had the hunter become the hunted but even Ji Zheng, who should have died, had come back to life. Ling Taihe gritted his teeth and tried to persevere, but he could not figure out why he had fallen into such a state.
All the changes seemed to have started with that elixir!
Boom!
The mountains and rivers under the huge foot disappeared, leaving only a huge deep pit in the shape of a footprint. However, the ground was burned black as if it was a strange sight formed by a falling star from outer space.
After the dust cleared, the condensed clouds suddenly started to rain again, extinguishing the wildfire on the ground and filling the entire pit with rainwater.
A pair of cold eyes appeared in the sky, searching for Ling Taihe in the deep pit with a contemptuous look.
The current Ling Taihe could no longer bear any burden. After spitting out a lot of blood, he fell to the ground and the huge hands he controlled had long turned invisible…
“Father! What happened to you?”
Ji Rui had been paying attention to Ji Zheng’s every move. When she saw him suddenly fall from the sky, she immediately flew forward to support him.
She observed Ji Zheng carefully and realized that he was so tired that he could not open his eyes. He did not look like someone who had just advanced to become a Martial Emperor.
Ji Rui frowned slightly and felt puzzled.
The phenomenon that had descended from the sky just now could not be faked. Furthermore, her father had only casually launched an attack to easily trap and kill the few men. Why was he even weaker than before!
Even Chu Feng felt a little guilty when he saw Ji Zheng’s dispirited expression. Could it be that what happened just now was just an illusion?
Was the system reliable or not…
However, people had said that Ji Zheng had broken through the Martial Emperor realm. He thought about it carefully and felt that it could be because his earlier injuries were too serious and yet he had forcefully consumed the elixir for a breakthrough before he had a chance to recover.
Although he had indeed succeeded, the bad effects of forceful advancement had surfaced now that he was exhausted.
“The elixir given by the system should be a good thing.”
Chu Feng concluded with praise.
“Alas!”
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly sighing?”

Ji Rui had rarely seen such a complicated expression on his face.
Seeing his daughter’s anxious expression, Ji Zheng shook his head and explained, “Actually, I didn’t really enter the Emperor realm. That elixir is definitely a unique treasure. If I had obtained it earlier, I would have had a 90% chance of breaking through. Unfortunately…”
“Perhaps this is fate!”
He did not have time to digest the elixir but in order to get a breather, he detonated the elixir to reap its effects and temporarily raised his cultivation to the Martial Emperor realm.
However, there was a price to pay for this. Ji Zheng’s body was exhausted and his cultivation was even weaker than before.
