669 Chapter 669: Old Man V/S Second Princess
In the sky above the mountain range, sparks flew everywhere as true essence wantonly leaked out. The sharp Sword Qi and the resplendent golden light constantly clashed against each other, making it seems as if the sky has lost its colour.
“Boom!”
The mysterious old man and the Second Princess had already exchanged over a hundred moves, but neither of them was able to do anything to the other.
The mysterious old man was a Seven Mark Worldly Divine Lord while the Second Princess was a Six Mark Worldly Divine Lord. However, none of them were able to gain victory. Although the Second Princess was One Mark weaker than the mysterious old man, her fighting prowess was in no way inferior to him. At least, she was able to counter every attack of the old man and fought till both of them felt a little tired.
This was the Upper Realm, not the Divine Realm. Although Second Princess has used the Divine Ranked Treasure to block the detection of Heavenly Dao from discovering them, there was no True Essence here. They depleted True Essence within their bodies very quickly, however, recovering those True Essence without any outer support is next to impossible in the Upper Realm.
To recover the lost True Essence, they either have to look for the True Essence Pool or places where True Essence flows in the air, or swallow Divine Grade Essence Recovery Pill.
“Hehe, It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a good fight. It feels so good!”pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
The mysterious old man’s palm moved and the Golden Flame Flying Needle in his hand immediately flew out. As it moved, circles of powerful golden light lingered around the flying needle. At the same time, the flying needle’s colour changed as it turned dark red like a red-hot iron.
“Senior thief, you won’t be able to escape today. Why don’t you give that Blue Book back to me? That book was obviously discovered by me. I and my team also sacrificed many treasures to finally get our hands on that Blue Book, and when we were about to take that book, you appeared out of nowhere and stole it away. You are also from the Divine Realm and you should be aware of the strength of my empire. You know you can’t get away with the book, then why don’t you return the book back to me and I’ll forget about what you did. This is better for both you and me.” The Second Princess said while counterattacking the old man’s attack. She slashed out with her sword. The formidable sword shadow was like a bolt of lightning that cut through the world as it rushed forward.
“Thump!”
The moment her sword attack collided with the Golden Flame Flying Needle, a huge golden ring of shockwave appeared in the air and the needle was sent flying.
“Hehe, how about this, as long as you can defeat me, I will return that item to you. If you can’t beat me, then lend me that book to read for three days. What do you think?”
The mysterious old man leaped in the air and at the same time, he retracted his Golden Flame Flying Needle. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
The Second Princess’s eyes slightly narrowed. She said, “I can’t use that item as a wager, but Senior, after we return back to the Divine Realm, you can come to my Royal Family and my father might let you read the book for three days. How about it?”
“Hahaha, Little Girl, you sure are smart. Who knows if I’ll ever be able to return back after going to your family. There are not many people who would dare to go to the Royal Family of Star Spirit Empire and talk to your father. Since you can’t give me the book to read for three days here, let’s continue to fight then. Let me see what you are truly capable of.”
“Boom!”
Just as he finished speaking, a surge of immense aura rushed out from the old man’s body like a tide. A dazzling array of golden light like the burning flame of the Scorching Sun, burst out, causing s.p.a.ce to distort. The s.p.a.ce of the Upper Realm was not as strong and stable as the s.p.a.ce of the Divine Realm, causing it to almost unable to endure and crack like shattered gla.s.s.
However, neither the old man nor the second princess heeds to the s.p.a.ce around them. The old man waved his hand and the Golden Flame Flying Needle appeared in the air again before descending in a graceful manner.
“Hundred Golden Shadows!” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
In the next instant, the Golden Flame Flying Needle released an incomparably glaring golden light. Immediately following that, the entire sky seems to have been filled with countless golden needles.
Tens of thousands of Golden Flame Flying Needles were like tens of thousands of sharp arrows that had been shot out at the same time. Each flying needle was extremely lethal, capable of instantly killing any Dao Tribulation Stage martial artist, even average Divine Lords.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of that chubby girl. The sword in her hand rippled with shocking l.u.s.ter as an astonishing sword force stirred up in the air. The Second Princess’s swung the sword and in the next second, an incomparably powerful sword aura whizzed out from her body like a swimming dragon, spreading far wide, making it seem as if the s.p.a.ce was being cut into countless shreds.
The sword aura with shocking power shook the entire Mountain Range, causing countless mountains to shatter and crumble down but in equal and refined pieces. Tens of thousands of sword shadows appeared in the sky, slashing randomly, causing thousands of demonic beasts to be killed immediately.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
It was also at this moment when the flying needles that filled the sky came crashing down like a violent storm. The resplendent rays of tens of thousands of golden flame flying needles continuously struck the tens of thousands of sword Shadows in the sky. The incomparably violent energy tremors caused even the sky to tremble uneasily, and an awe-inspiring scene appeared. The sky above the Mountain Range seems to have been filled with falling meteor showers as well as violent shockwaves that seem to have created tornados. The aftershocks of this collision recklessly blasted out everything in the entire land inside the Pearl that was protecting these Divine Beings from being discovered by the Heavenly Dao.
The world seemed to have changed colour and the mountains below began to tremble due to the meteor shower and the violent tornados. All the remaining alive Demonic Beasts within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were running for their lives. The violent wind caused the surrounding airflow to become extremely uneasy.
Fortunately, the old man protected the mountain with the cave where Su Xue Er and Ye Xiao were. Otherwise only death was waiting for them, at least for Su Xue Er.
As for the chubby girl, she was gracefully standing in the air, Her long black hair fluttered in the wind. There was no emotion on her face other than indifference.
At this moment, the other people who come here with the Second Princess standing silently at the border of the pearl that was enveloping the entire Mountain Range. Well, they seem to be standing silently while watching the battle, however, in reality, they were preparing for the final strike.
Yes, the Second Princess was fighting the old man only to stall for time to let her subordinates prepare to lay down the final strike.
Everyone suddenly started emitting a chilling aura. The energy waves released from their bodies caused the air around them to vibrate, and the desolate cold wind became increasingly insanely stronger.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, an aura several times stronger than those of Second Princess and the Old Man spread out in all directions. The entire sky darkened suddenly and bright beams of light rapidly gathered in the Second Princess’s treasured sword. And these bright beams of light seem to be shooting straight into the sky from the bodies of Second Princess’s subordinates, forming a net before descending down on the treasured sword in her hand.
In a split second, the treasured sword suddenly shone with seven-coloured l.u.s.ter. The glazed light became more and more brilliance, as though it was condensed from the essence of a rainbow.
Feeling the might of the sword, the old man’s nonchalant expression finally turned grave. He narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the Second Princess’s subordinates and immediately understood what was going on. He muttered, “I can’t continue to waste any more time. That little girl should have left the cave already!”
“Buzz! Buzz!”
Immediately after, an aura similar to a mountain exploded from the old man’s body. The glaring golden light covered the area like a scorching sun.
pAɴᴅᴀ ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ “Second Princess, you should better be careful!”
As soon as the old man’s words fell, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky. A devastating aura surged and the Second Princess seem to be locked by this frightening aura.
