Chapter 408: Chapter 24: Petty Thieves for Themselves, Great Thieves Save the World

Liangzhou, outside Cangya City, hundreds of miles away.

Intense shockwaves erupted, as crimson and azure lights clashed in battle, the spilling force vibrating the ground, the residual heat shattering the rocks, and the divine fire dropped from the fight igniting the forest, setting it ablaze with towering flames.

Bang!

A streak of azure light, like a pagoda, descended heavily, aiming to smash down onto Li Tian Gang's head.

Stay tuned to M-V-L

Li Tian Gang's eyes emitted a chilling light akin to divine electricity, and with a sudden slash, he cleaved with a divine saber engulfed in burning flames, the overwhelming divine might vibrating as it rang out, deflecting the azure pagoda.

However, he himself took several steps back in succession, his aura erupting, shouting, "Order of all things, fire come!"

Out of nowhere, divine fire materialized in the void, transforming into a fire dragon and pursuing the azure figure.

The azure figure retreated rapidly, but suddenly vanished from in front of the fire dragon as if into thin air.

Before Li Tian Gang could react, a palm pressed down on his chest armor, its force swallowing and erupting, Bang! With that, his body was sent flying and brutally smashed onto a mountain peak.

Li Tian Gang struggled to free himself from the rubble of the mountain, his complexion ugly, his qi and blood churning.

He had long heard of the legendary thief Bu Liuxing, whose movement technique was extremely fast, and even masters of the Ultimate Study Realm found it difficult to track him, truly living up to his reputation.

"If I hadn't had to escort Hao Er to Heavenly Gate Pass and had been unable to leave, I would have beaten you severely back when you were in the Three Immortal Realms!"

Feng Boping's figure revealed itself ahead, raising his hand again to launch the azure pagoda, suppressing and locking the fire dragon in place, and spoke lightly.

Li Tian Gang, now in the Fourfold Tao Heart Realm and a True Dragon of the Li Family, may not possess martial arts talent as exceptional as Li Junye, was still top-notch among the nine sons, and outside of the Divine General Mansion, he was considered a peerless genius.

Considering the many contributions the other party had made, Feng Boping did not use his full strength, intending only to teach him a lesson.

"Unfortunately, you will never have that chance again!"

Li Tian Gang's eyes grew icy as he flicked his Divine Flame Saber, suddenly stepping forward continuously.

This time he took nine steps in one breath, his aura reaching its peak, the emanating momentum comparable to the Defying Fate Realm.

Feng Boping's expression turned cold, "Do you truly wish to fight for real? Then I shall thoroughly discipline you on behalf of your elders!"

"You are not worthy!"

Li Tian Gang roared furiously, suddenly slashing with the saber, and the void seemed to catch fire, the heat wave swept by the divine saber withering the vegetation on the ground hundreds of feet below.

Guided by the rhyme of the Tao, the light of the saber arrived in an instant, striking down in front of Feng Boping.

Yet, Feng Boping's figure vanished abruptly, disregarding the lock of the Tao's rhyme, startling Li Tian Gang.

With a bang, azure light flickered, Feng Boping appearing behind Li Tian Gang like a specter, his self-created Heaven and Earth Traceless Skill utilized to perfection, just one step away from entering the Peerless Technique Realm with that technique.

A palm vibrated as it descended onto Li Tian Gang's back, but suddenly, as if Li Tian Gang had eyes on the back of his head, a burst of firelight surged out, condensing into the Great Flame Luo Hand, clashing against Feng Boping's palm.

Caught off guard, Feng Boping's complexion shifted, his body retreated, and then he flickered out of sight, reappearing two or three miles away.

His palm was charred black, his veins seared, which, despite regenerating, continued to bleed profusely.

The Extreme Flame Intent from the Great Flame Luo Hand burned through his palm into his blood, reaching his heart and lungs, as if he were immersed in boiling water, excruciating pain spreading throughout his entire body.

"Heh, you've spent your life stealing, what is your higher realm to me?"

Seeing his opponent wounded and in a tight spot, Li Tian Gang sneered, "I, Li Tian Gang, have fought countless battles. How can you imagine my experience in killing enemies?"

Feng Boping glanced at his charred palm and then fixed his gaze on Li Tian Gang, saying, "Then let's try again."

His robes billowed around him, and suddenly his figure disappeared.

Li Tian Gang's pupils contracted, scanning everywhere, but he lost track of the other's figure and could not see clearly.

A whistling sound suddenly came from behind.

He sneered slightly, fire converging behind him, but the whistling sound disappeared, only to rush from the side.

Li Tian Gang's expression remained unchanged; he had anticipated that the attack from behind might be a feint, as the opponent had just been thwarted there. Why would he make the same mistake?

Therefore, the fire behind him was a deception, his aura pervading his entire body, ready to mobilize at any time. When the whistling came from the side, his power burst forth immediately, the Great Flame Luo Hand striking out.

With a resounding bang!

Suddenly, a massive force struck him from behind, reverberating through Li Tian Gang's body, and penetrating sharp forces felt as though they were cutting into his spine, with the pain so severe it felt like his backbone had been slashed!

He stumbled forward, swinging his hand back in a furious strike.

But the whistling sound had already vanished, and as he turned to strike back, a piercing sound came from in front of him, shaking him once more.

Li Tian Gang spat out blood, his body flying backward, tumbling down the cliff.

But the next moment, he burst out from the riverbed below the cliff, his armor steaming with water vapour ignited by divine flames, angrily looking around.

Soon, on a cluster of fallen leaves atop a treetop, he spotted that calm standing figure.

"Is this the extent of your experience in killing enemies? As for insight into the human heart, I've frequented the secret grounds of all the great sects throughout my life, never failing. How can you imagine?"

Feng Boping slightly sneered, returning Li Tian Gang's words.

Li Tian Gang's eyes blazed with divine fire, flames rising from his body, and declared, "You're courting death!"

With a roar, he surged forward, covering nine steps in an instant, his movement technique unleashing extreme speed as he charged towards Feng Boping.

Just then, a dragon's roar came from afar, with a golden sword light whistling in their direction.
