　　Another sigh was heard.

　　Despite still possessing the powers of a sage, Mr. Xie was suddenly obliterated into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist.

　　"What about you?" Li Yiming turned around.

　　Yun Yiyuan jumped out of his hiding spot and knelt down with his spear on the ground. 'It's him! But then, Mr. Kong…'

　　"You…" Ying Mei could not believe her eyes.

　　"Bah… Well…" Li Yiming shook his head and looked up at the golden orb in the sky, whose glow was now so bright, it painted the entire world under a layer of gold.

　　Boom!

　　Crack! Crack!

　　Loud noises were heard one after another, accompanied by a low-ringing murmur resembling that of a Buddhist incantation.

　　"You're finally here! Come!" Mr. Kong yelled with glee as a giant furry hand came down from the clouds and reached out for Li Yiming.

　　"You are unworthy!" Li Yiming raised his fist. A ma.s.sive shadow of a golden staff ornamented with dragons shot up toward the sky, striking away the giant hand.

　　"You!" Mr. Kong was taken aback and his voice showed hints of irritation.

　　"I've told you that you're not worthy!" Li Yiming said coldly.

　　"I have braved through the Heavens and h.e.l.l, slaying demons and G.o.ds! He may be gone, but I am still me!" Li Yiming's cry produced a destructive shockwave around him. Under the cloud of dust, Li Yiming stood stall, his entire body glowing in gold.

　　"Let me tell you what the purpose of this staff is…." Li Yiming suddenly took off, leaving behind him such a bright trail of light it seemed like the horizon was split into two. Trailing him was the shadow of the golden staff.

　　"He…! He's not him! He's that staff!" Yun Yiyuan jumped up in disbelief.

　　"I don't want to save the world, I will only bend the rules!" Li Yiming's angry shout was heard as he continued his ascent.

　　"I won't let you ruin our plans!" Mr. Kong exclaimed as he generated another giant hand to stop Li Yiming.

　　"c.r.a.p!" Aunt Wu shot out all nine out her swords in an attempt to intercept Li Yiming.

　　Boom!

　　A deafening explosion was heard, creating a shockwave that sent even Mr. Kong and his a.s.sociates flying back.
