"My Lord, there's no need for us to make idle chatter with this woman. Let's just take the Divine Weapon from her by force!"

One of the high-level Martial Supremes from the Lin family noticed the greed on Lin Fen's face. He then disregarded all peril 1 and charged straight towards Gu Ruoyun for the sake of gaining their Leader's favor. However, before he could even reach Gu Ruoyun, flames suddenly erupted from the Ninth Emperor. The flames were like countless blood-covered hands as they clawed at the high-level Martial Supreme.

"Argh, argh, aaarrghh!"

The Lin family's high-level Martial Supreme did not even have the time to cry for mercy as he was immediately dragged onto the sword's blade by the flaming blood-covered hands. All that was left of him was his endless screams.

Everyone could see the high-level Martial Supreme screaming as he struggled ceaselessly on the brilliant, red-colored blade. Eventually, his entire body was swallowed by the flames.

It was the Divine Weapon, the Ninth Emperor!

It also has another name The Devourer!

It needs to devour the powers of other cultivators in order to grow! Gu Ruoyun had consumed the flaming dragon's spirit was also at the Ninth Emperor's urging!

The crowd was in shock.

They had never seen this type of Divine Weapon before. It can actually devour a human? This was too frightening!

For a while, none of the Lin family members dared to step out. Everyone had shrank away and retreated.

"Bunch of useless things!"

Lin Fen furrowed his brows as he turned to face Gu Ruoyun.

"Gu Ruoyun, the more I look at this Divine Weapon in your hands, the more I like it. In order to obtain it, I must deal with you personally!"

A wave of murderous intent flashed in Lin Fen's eyes as the sneer on his face became even more pronounced. He dropped all idle chit-chat and turned into a strong hurricane before charging towards Gu Ruoyun.

Gu Ruoyun raised the Ninth Emperor up high and slashed it across the vast expanse of the sky as Lin Fen charged towards her. The red-colored sword aimed at Lin Fen's chest struck down like a bolt of lightning with a loud whooshing sound.

Clang!

Lin Fen had raised his arm to block the attack but it was to no avail. The sword's light was much too sharp and that force sent his body back violently. Blood began to pour out from his arm, dyeing his robes bloody.

"The power of a Divine Weapon is indeed great, even a piece of trash like you could release such power. If it were in my hands, how powerful would it become?"

Lin Fen licked the corners of his lips, feeling an even stronger urge to possess Gu Ruoyun's Divine Weapon.

He then continued to charge towards Gu Ruoyun once again.

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

However, he was not so lucky this time.

An eerie cold air circled around the Ninth Emperor's sword blade. It was clearly angered by Lin Fen's arrogance. Just as Lin Fen drew near to the Ninth Emperor, a powerful energy exploded from the sword and Lin Fen, who had been piercing through the air, instantly fell from the sky with a thud.

That was right!

Lin Fen had fallen from the sky!

It was as if a hand had just grabbed onto him and dragged him down.

Lin Fen, who felt the pressure on his body, finally showed terror in his arrogant gaze.

"No! Impossible!" Lin Fen crawled to his feet with great effort and coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "No matter how powerful the Divine Weapon is, if the person who wields it is far too weak, it shouldn't operate with such great efficiency!" he exclaimed with a pale look on his face. "Why? Why can't I hold out against this Divine Weapon?"

Whoosh!

Gu Ruoyun raised the Ninth Emperor again and...

Slash!

Lin Fen's arm was cleanly sliced off. Blood splattered out from the amputated stump, dyeing the grass below his feet red.
