“But don't complain when you realize that your rankings mean nothing before me.”The three youths exchanged glances, and the shock in their eyes was impossible to hide.They had heard of Liu Kang. They had heard the rumors about his arrogance and his ability to fight opponents above his cultivation realm. But witnessing it with their own eyes was an entirely different matter.Standing before him now, they finally understood why his name had spread so quickly.Liu Kang smiled faintly as his eyes swept across the three of them.Deep down, however, he was far from composed.Heavenrend was simply too heaven-defying.That single attack had nearly drained the Lightning Qi within the Lightning Bead. If he continued using the sword recklessly, he could easily exhaust his strength before the battle was over.His cultivation was still too weak to wield Heavenrend's full power.He had to be careful.The three youths tightened their grips around their weapons and slowly spread out, surrounding Li

"Do you still think I'm nothing without that sword?"His voice resounded through the forest like a divine judgment.The youth ranked forty-second instinctively took several steps backward. Terror and panic were unmistakable in his eyes. At that moment, he deeply regretted provoking such a demon.Liu Kang's lips curled into a mocking smile, his hand still resting on the borrowed sword.The ranked youth frantically glanced around, desperately searching for a way to escape.Then, his eyes suddenly landed on Bai Yu, who was standing some distance away.A thought flashed through his mind.Without hesitation, he stomped his right foot against the ground and shot toward Bai Yu.Bai Yu didn't move when she saw him approaching.Instead, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her lips.The closer the youth got, the more uneasy he became. An inexplicable sense of danger suddenly surged through his heart, but he couldn't understand where it was coming from.Then, in the blink of an eye, Liu Ka

Fang Kang suppressed his anger.The three exchanged glances before simultaneously channeling their World Qi into their respective weapons. None of them dared to be careless.A cornered beast was always the most dangerous.Fan Kang's expression became solemn as he tightened his grip around the crimson spear and slowly took a deep breath.His injuries were too severe, and his World Qi had already been depleted significantly. He could no longer hold the three of them off for much longer.His eyes briefly turned toward the exit of the Sovereign Abode.He could almost imagine Liu Kang fighting against the numerous geniuses rushing toward him.Fan Kang's gaze dimmed.He knew he could no longer make it there in time.A helpless sigh escaped his lips.Brother... I'm sorry.His eyes gradually became resolute.Since he could no longer save Liu Kang by reaching him, he would at least eliminate these three enemies before his death.Fan Kang silently circulated his cultivation technique.Deep with

The hall inside the Sovereign Abode began to tremble violently. Even the laws governing the abode were forced to manifest, stretching and twisting as they desperately tried to suppress and neutralize the terrifying lightning arc.The trio immediately retreated, their expressions filled with fear as they frantically circulated their World Qi.Fang Kang raised his battle axe and poured every ounce of strength he could muster into it. Thick earth-elemental energy surged outward, forming the phantom image of a towering mountain that stood firmly before him.“Earthshaker Mountain Shield!”Yan Huotian's eyes turned cold as his aura erupted. He raised his broadsword high before driving it into the ground.A crimson flame instantly erupted from the blade, transforming into the majestic form of a Crimson Phoenix. The fiery beast spread its wings and formed a blazing shield before Yan Huotian.At the same time, Jian Chen's eyes sharpened. His aura became razor-sharp as he waved his sword, causi

The moment Fang Kang's body became lifeless, Bai Yu moved forward and supported Fan Kang as they walked toward Liu Kang.Fan Kang stared at Fang Kang's lifeless eyes, his expression filled with complicated emotions.They had both come from the same clan. Yet because of anger, greed, and the pursuit of power, Fang Kang had turned against the Kang family, eventually becoming a mortal enemy of both Fan Kang and his brother, Liu Kang.Fan Kang felt a trace of pity for him, but nothing more.There was nothing he could do.The moment Fang Kang had chosen to attack him, the bond between their bloodlines had already been severed.Fan Kang slowly raised his head and stared deeply at Liu Kang.He could not help but remember the past, when they were still in the Kang family.Back then, Liu Kang had been unable to cultivate, yet the two brothers had always stood by each other. They had endured countless hardships together, never abandoning one another.But now, everything had changed.Liu Kang ha
