　　"Surprised?" Mr. Kong smirked, but he could not hide his anger at being pushed to such lengths by mere mortals.

　　With his last bit of strength, Sai Gao emitted a ferocious roar and bolted toward Mr. Kong. With one hand raised, Mr. Kong nailed his a.s.sailant midair before exploding him into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist.

　　"You don't seem to understand my power. If the embodiment of Heaven's Laws could be taken down so easily, then I wouldn't have needed to wait for a thousand years." Mr. Kong said as he sat down a miniature cloud that formed beside him.

　　"You…" Li Yiming struggled to even lift his arm.

　　"They say that the weapon's spirit takes from its master… Look at you, what have you inherited from Wukong? Ahahahaha!" Mr. Kong burst out laughing.

　　"Perhaps if you kneel to me, I might consider keeping you alive, as part of my collection of staves…"

　　Liu Meng stared at Mr. Kong coldly before slowly turning her head to look at Li Yiming with a gentle expression, with her arms wrapped around him.

　　"What's with that look? You're not possibly thinking of defeating me with the pathetic remains of the previous Heaven`s Laws, are you?" Mr. Kong mocked as he crossed his legs.

　　"You know, I'm not too fond of birds, but maybe if he begs me for it I'll keep your corpse intact and turn you into a specimen right next to him. What do you think of that?" Mr. Kong laughed maniacally as he imagined various methods of disposing of Li Yiming and Liu Meng.

　　"You're delusional if you think that he'll kneel down to you. Even if he dies, he'll die with pride." Liu Meng's heart ached as she looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y eye socket on Li Yiming's face. She knew full well that she was no match for Mr. Kong, and that the situation was utterly hopeless.

　　"I think he should be proud of this, shouldn't he?" Mr. Kong pointed at the ruins nearby.

　　"I'll be the one who decides that, not you!" Liu Meng stated angrily and her entire body was suddenly set ablaze. The third eye on her forehead opened up and created a barrier that even Mr. Kong found to be difficult to break.

　　"Meng… You…" Li Yiming raised his head with difficulty.

　　"I've lived a good life." Liu Meng smiled as her third eye fully opened and the scarlet flames, along with her flesh and bones, were all absorbed into the eye.

　　Liu Meng vanished completely, leaving behind a single eye that bore testimony to her ultimate sacrifice. As the eye made its way into Li Yiming's hollow socket, his eyes began to flash with different colors: one glowed purple while the other a burning crimson.

　　With Liu Meng's barrier fading away, Mr. Kong found Li Yiming standing tall again, staring vacantly at the landscape in the distance.

　　"Now you're the only one left… How do you want to end this?" Mr. Kong grimaced.

　　"Have you ever thought about how Wukong felt when he made his decision?" Li Yiming ignored Mr. Kong's taunting and turned toward the rock Chen Quan brought.

　　Crack!

　　"Don't mention his name in front of me…" After turning the rock into dust, Mr. Kong lowered his hand and threatened.

　　With the rock smashed to smithereens, Li Yiming turned his head toward Mr. Kong, who slowly opened his hands and showed his sharp claws.

　　"Liu'er, now's the time to stop…" Li Yiming sighed. [1]

　　"What?" Mr. Kong sprang up from his cloud as it was blown away by the wind.
