Chapter 1445: Without the Dark Prince, You Won’t Be Able to Defeat Any of Us
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Qin Naihe could clearly feel the Dark Prince’s killing intent. It was as though all his years of pent-up emotions were about to explode.
At this time, the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion began to look over one after another with confused expressions on their faces.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin flew over on Qiong Qi’s back and asked, “Jiang Dongshan, have you finally revealed your true colors?”
Jiang Dongshan raised his head and said, “Mr. Fourth, how can you say that? We’ve been together in the ancient formations for such a long time and have a good relations.h.i.+p. How could I harm my friends?”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin smiled. “Spare me your words. I know what you were going to do from way before. You kept searching for opportunities to spar with everyone while we were in the ancient formations. Weren’t you just looking for a chance to launch a sneak attack? However, you knew that once you launch a sneak
attack, you’ll definitely die so you chickened out.”
Jiang Dongshan waved his hand and said, “You wrongly accused me. With your strength, how could I have successfully launched a sneak attack?”
“Nonsense! You just didn’t dare to do so. That’s why you’ve been pretending to be a good man for so long. You deliberately led us into the ancient formations to trap us. A wise man once said that when a person lies, they’ll inadvertently look away. Look, you’re lying,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said.
“Tm not!” Jiang Dongshan denied vehemently.
“Then, tell the Dark Prince to get lost!” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said in a deep voice.
Bang!
At this time, the Dark Prince, whose eyes glinted with a strange light, tore through the air toward Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
“Dodge, Fourth Junior Brother!”
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, one on the left and one on the right, unleashed thousands of energy sabers and energy swords.
‘The Dark Prince disregarded the onslaughts of energy sabers, energy swords, and energy seals. He moved so fast that it seemed like he had torn the void. In just a blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Mings.h.i.+ Yin. He did not waste time and punched Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
Whoos.h.!.+
Unexpectedly, the Dark Prince’s fist only met the air.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Qiong Qi had disappeared and reappeared in the air 100 meters above the Dark Prince, looking down at him.
Everyone was shocked.
“The power of the Dao? A Venerable Master?” Jiang Dongshan exclaimed in shock.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, who were also surprised by Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s performance, smiled.
“Old Fourth, not bad!”
“Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, you’re overpraising me! In front of my two senior brothers, my skills are just fancy but impractical,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin replied humbly.
Qin Naihe said, “You understand the law of s.p.a.ce, that’s not impractical.”
Inwardly, Qin Naihe thought to himself, ‘You have the Great Void Seed. After staying in the ancient formation for 100 years, even if you become a Saint, there’s nothing strange about it.”
Moreover, before meeting the Emperor of Qin, Mings.h.i.+ Yin could already kill Xi Qishu.
Jiang Dongshan smiled. “Alright, then I’ll have to let the Dark Prince experience your strength.”
Now that the Dark Prince received his order, he raised his head and rushed out again toward Mings.h.i.+ Yin. He arrived in front of Mings.h.i.+ Yin at lightning speed and punched out again with his powerful arm.
Bang!
Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Qiong Qi were sent flying 100 meters back. When Mings.h.i.+ Yin stabilized his footing, he said before flying off Qiong Qi’s back, “Doggy, look after yourself!”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Mings.h.i.+ Yin vanished into thin air.
On both sides of the rift, all kinds of things were growing. Towering trees grew one after another as vines as thick as giant pythons snaked out, swiftly covering an area of 1,000 meters.
“Bluewood Heart Technique” Jiang Dongshan said, “Dark Prince, don’t hold back.”
‘The Dark Prince made strange noises again as he waved his hand. Then, black energy burst forth from its body.
“Dodge! It’s the corrosive energy!”
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Qin Naihe flashed in three different directions.
At this moment, a roar rang in the air as Lu Wu swooped down from the sky.
Duanmu Sheng stood on Lu Wu’s head. The purple dragons twined around his arms as he held the Overlord Spear that had grown to several thousand feet long. As he spun the Overlord Spear with both hands, the purple dragons spun as well, blocking the corrosive energy. With that, only a small amount of
the energy landed on the plants, causing them to wither.
Jiang Dongshan looked at Duanmu Sheng and the purple dragons as he said, “Mr. Third, isn’t this inappropriate?”
“Thate despicable people like you the most!” Duanmu Sheng said bluntly. Then, he leaped off Lu Wu’s head, bypa.s.sing the Dark Prince and shot toward Jiang Dongshan.
“Dark Prince!” Jiang Dongshan called out.
The Dark Prince’s arms trembled briefly before they shot out of their sockets!
Swoos.h.!.+
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Duanmu Sheng spun around and swept his Overlord Spear out horizontally. Black and purple energy swirled around him along with the purple dragons as he was pushed back.
“What’s this move?” Mings.h.i.+ Yin watched through the gaps of the Bluewood.
Qin Naihe said, “As expected of the zombie king, the Dark Prince. I’m afraid it’s not weaker than the zombie king, Ying Gou.”
Jiang Dongshan flew up into the air and spread his arms out, holding his astrolabe to guard against sneak attacks. He swept his gaze past everyone as he laughed and said, “I didn’t expect most of you to have the strength of a Venerable Master. I really didn’t expect the ancient formations to help you.”
“As expected, there’s something wrong with you,” Yu Zhenghai said.
“No, no, no,” Jiang Dongshan continued to deny, I really admire all of you. I even wanted to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. I’ve expressed my intentions many times when we were in the ancient formations. After all, we’re all from the golden lotus domain.”
Jiang Dongshan looked in the direction of the ancient formations. He knew he could not afford to waste time so he flicked a red talisman out.
When the red talisman landed on the Dark Prince, the Dark Prince’s eyes dimmed.
Then, Jiang Dongshan said, “To show my sincerity, I’ll stop now. The deal between us is over. Take care.”
Then, the blood energy on the Dark Prince’s body shrouded Jiang Dongshan before Jiang Dongshan flew toward the rift.
Yu Zhenghai pushed his hand out, launching an energy saber.
“Sovereign Descent!”
Jiang Dongshan raised his head and used the astrolabe to block the attack. He was not weak, after all; he had 20 Birth Charts.
Yu Zhenghai hovered above the energy saber and said icily, “It’s too late for you to leave now.”
“Mr. First, what do you mean?” Jiang Dongshan asked.
“You can leave as long as my master agrees to it. However, before he agrees, you can’t leave,” Yu Zhenghai said as he drew the Jasper Saber and held it in front of him horizontally.
Bang!
‘A1,000-foot-long energy saber appeared around the Jasper Saber immediately.
“You!”
“Eldest Senior Brother is right.” At this time, Yu Shangrong unsheathed his Longevity Sword. It circled him immediately.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Following that, Qin Naihe, Mings.h.i.+ Yin, and Duanmu Sheng flashed appeared in three different directions.
All five of them surrounded Jiang Dongshan.
“It seems like all of you underestimate the Dark Prince.”
The Dark Prince looked up, revealing his dark eyes that had now tuned blood-red.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Dark Prince’s arms and legs flew out in all directions, independent of his body.
The five experts of the Evil Sky Pavilion began to fight fiercely with the zombie king’s limbs.
Lu Wu turned to look at the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion and said, “Retreat.”
Yuan Lang hurriedly relayed the order. “Retreat!”
Following that, the 49 Swordsmen got into formation in the air.
Countless fierce beasts charged out like a tide from both sides of the rift and began to attack.
Swoos.h.!.+
Lu Wu raised his head to look at the sky before he shot up and its eight tails fanned out. With that, an extremely cold energy spread out.
‘The surrounding greenery within ten miles near the Pillar of Destruction was instantly frozen.
The fierce beasts were also frozen into ice sculptures by Lu Wu. Then, it roared thunderously.
‘With Lu Wu in the center, soundwaves swept out in all directions, covering the sky and the earth.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ice sculptures shattered into shards of ice immediately.
With just one move, Lu Wu killed over 10,000 fierce beasts.
At this time, the surviving beast kings attacked the other members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
‘The four elders who were experienced did not panic in the face of danger.
“Block them.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
‘The Square Box flew out, hitting the beast kings.
Hua Yuexing began to release energy arrows in a frenzy.
The valley and the rift turned chaotic and b.l.o.o.d.y in just a blink of an eye.
Zhu Honggong sat on Dang Kang’s back and attacked with his fists as he said, “There are too many of them! We have to kill the Dark Prince!”
“The Dark Prince is now controlled by Jiang Dongshan,” Yan Zhenluo said.
“Well, we can only leave it up to Eldest Senior Brother and the others then,” Zhu Honggong said.
Meanwhile, the five experts of the Evil Sky Pavilion continued to fight with the Dark Prince.
‘The Dark Prince was so strong that he was not at a disadvantage at all despite the difference in number.
The battle of the Venerable Masters had turned the area into ruins in just amoment. For this reason, the other members of Evil Sky Pavilion retreated ten miles, leaving the frozen ruins.
At this time, vines shot out from both sides like giant snakes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The 49 Swordsmen did their best to chop off the vines with their energy swords.
“So annoying!”
“Little Fire Phoenix!” Little Yuan’er used the Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps as she moved.
The little Fire Phoenix grew to about 30 feet tall and carried Little Yuan’er up into the sky. The Nirvana Sash shot out in the air like a scarlet dragon, cutting the vines.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
‘The little Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and opened its beaks, spitting out flames to the left and right.
The vines retreated immediately, clearly afraid of the fire.
This provided the others with some respite.
Zhu Honggon did not forget to say, “Ninth Junior Sister, you’re amazing! I’m impressed.”
Little Yuan’er and the little Fire Phoenix swooped back down, joining the others.
“The vines are afraid of fire. Little Junior Sister, it’s your turn,” Ye Tianxin said as she tossed out two orbs of greenish-golden karmic fire.
The effect was rather good.
“Alright! Elder Hua, borrow me your Square Box!” Conch said as she leaped onto the Square Box.
“Use it however you like!” Hua Wudao said, pus.h.i.+ng his hand out to stabilize the Square Box. At the same time, the Six Compatible Seal flashed brilliantly.
Conch flicked her sleeve, bringing out the Nine String Zither. As her fingers danced across the energy, soundwaves swept out in all directions.
Red karmic fire mercilessly burned the vines and the fierce beasts on both sides of the rift.
‘The Square Box was like a small boat now, carrying everyone as it flew in the air.
‘The red energy and the blazing flames turned Zhixu into a living h.e.l.l.
The melody from the Nine String Zither was like Grim Reaper’s scythe to the fierce beasts. It killed everything in its path, was.h.i.+ng the mountain and rivers with blood.
‘When Conch’s right hand pressed down on the zither, the melody came to an abrupt stop.
Silence returned to Zhixu.
At this time, the 49 Swordsmen closed their formation as well.
‘The pressure on everyone was greatly relieved. Nevertheless, they looked around warily.
“It’s best to be on guard,” Ye Tianxin said as she patted Cheng Huang’s back.
Cheng Huang lowered its head and let out a cry. Then, it stomped its four hooves before it rose higher into the sky with movements as light as a swallow. Its long tail fluttered in the wind as it circled the sky. Then, its body suddenly grew swiftly.
“Cheng Huang has grown stronger!”
Everyone sighed emotionally.
“Cheng Huang was originally a 10,000-year-old beast. In order to stay in the golden lotus domain, it forcefully destroyed a little of its life force,” Ye Tianxin explained.
“see.”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
From afar, what looked like a flurry of black tornado and five avatars that towered into the sky fought viciously.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother…”
Everyone watched anxiously as the black tornado sent the five avatars flying back.
The Dark Prince alone could defeat the five avatars.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Dongshan laughed happily.
Ye Tianxin asked, “Hongfu, is there a way to bring master out faster?”
Zhao Hongfu shook her head and said, “The ancient formations are beyond my understanding.”
At this moment, Yan Zhenluo said, “Since the land splitting managed to shake the formations, why don’t we let the land continue to split?”
“You’re right!”
“Let’s do it together!”
‘The Square Box flew toward the rift immediately.
10,000-feet-long energy seals landed on the sides of the rift one after another.
“Go down! It’d be more useful for us to attack deeper into the rift since it’s narrower!”
‘The Square Box descended as everyone released energy seals in a frenzy trying to shake the earth.
They kept descending and attacking. They did not know long they had been descending until it was completely dark. Even then, it seemed like their attacks had no effect at all.
Humans were too weak, after all. How could an ant shake a tree? How could humans shake heaven or earth?
They were about to continue when suddenly…
Boom!
Abolt of lightning struck down from the top of the Pillar of Destruction. Electric arcs flashed and spread from the top to the bottom of the pillars and continued to spread out, covering a radius of 100 kilometers.
Boom!
“Quick! Go up!”
It seemed like the rift was being mended by the electric arcs, and it was closing up.
Hua Wudao was shocked. He hurriedly flew below the Square Machine and raised his hands to push it up as he roared, “Rise!”
Hua Wudao’s face flushed red as he used all his strength to lift everyone up. They could have flown, but it would have been too chaotic and slow. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Hua Wudao, you’re crazy!!”
Swoos.h.!.+
‘The Square Box suddenly flew up at a speed beyond comprehension.
At this time, Zhu Honggong flew down and lifted the Square Box with both his hands.
Hua Wudao wiped the blood off his lips and said, “Don’t worry. It’s nothing.”
Bang!
“Tll show you what Old Eighth can do!” Zhu Honggong said as his boxing gloves exploded with energy. Energy fists as huge as a mountain appeared along with his avatar.
Zhu Honggong and Hua Wudao pushed the Square Box up with all their might. When they saw the light, the rift was about to close.
“Faster!”
“Don’t worry!”
Zhu Honggong gritted his teeth, giving a hard push. He successfully pushed the Square Box and the others out of the rift, but at this moment, the rift was about to close on him and his avatar.
‘An expression of despair appeared on Zhu Honggong’s face as he said, “It’s over! I played too big a hand this time!”
At this time…
“Freeze.”
A soft voice rang in the air.
Electric arcs flashed on the earth, mountains, the Square Box, and the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Everything froze in just an instant.
Lu Zhou’s expression was calm as he flashed and appeared next to Zhu Honggong. Then, with a hand that felt as though it could hold up the sky, he pulled Zhu Honggong up.
Then, Lu Zhou waved his left hand, bringing the Hourgla.s.s of Time back to his hand. Then, he looked at the black tornado and the five avatars.
Whoos.h.!.+
“The Dark Prince?” Lu Zhou said in a deep voice as he flashed above the black tornado.
The Dark Prince had freed itself two seconds earlier from the effect of the Hourgla.s.s of Time. His eyes flashed with a dark light before his four limbs reattached themselves to his body again.
Lu Zhou pushed his hand down and imbued it with the divine power.
Flawed Perfection!
Boom!
Flawed Perfection pressed down on the Dark Prince’s head and pressed him down to the ground.
The black tornado dissipated immediately.
At this time, Zhu Honggong, who had been saved, looked around in confusion. He looked at his fists, his intact avatar, and the mended rift before he said as he laughed, “F*ck! I’m so powerful?! I’m so f*cking powerful?!”
Little Yuan‘er said, “Shut up. Master has come out.”
“L..” Zhu Honggong pointed at himself and was about to brag when he saw his master standing majestically and looking down at the Dark Prince who had been pressed down into the ground.
‘When Yu Zhenghai saw his master, he finally calmed down. Then, he said, “Jiang Dongshan used us to gain control of the Dark Prince. Everything is a part of his scheme.”
Lu Zhou nodded, unsurprised. He looked around and said, “Jiang Dongshan, come out now!”
The surroundings were silent.
No one responded.
“Do you think that I’m unaware that you work for the Great Void?”
Everyone was slightly surprised.
Lu Zhou flashed. Ten Lu Zhous appeared and landed in ten different directions.
Lu Zhou activated the power of smell and the power of hearing.
‘The Dark Prince did not move at all, looking like a real corpse now.
Lu Zhou and his nine clones stepped out, expanding the range of the Heavenly Writing powers. Then, the nine clones merged back into his body.
“”T found you.”
Bang!
Jiang Dongshan flew into the sky and shouted, “Dark Prince!”
‘The Dark Prince’s eyes opened. He moved stiffly before he pounced at Lu Zhou.
Jiang Dongshan was trying to block Lu Zhou by using the Dark Prince.
However, Yu Zhenghai appeared in front of Jiang Dongshan and said, “You were tricked out just like that?”
“You!”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that Bi An’s sense of smell is unparalleled.”
Bi An glared at Jiang Dongshan with anger brewing its eyes.
Yu Zhenghai wielded the Jasper Saber with both hands and brought them down at Jiang Dongshan. “You can’t escape!”
Boom!
Jiang Dongshan held up his astrolabe and was sent flying back.
“Without the Dark Prince, you can’t defeat any of us,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin, who had appeared behind Jiang Dongshan said. His lips were curled up into a sneer as he held the Separation Hook that glinted coldly.
Jiang Dongshan’s mood fell immediately. He had been hiding all this time to gain control over the Dark Prince. Initially, his strength could be ranked at the top, but he did not expect that after the time in the ancient formations, he was actually left so far behind.
“There’s no reason for all of their strength to be so exaggerated! Does it have something to do with the Great Void Seeds?”
Bang!
Jiang Dongshan spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as though his chest had just been struck by lightning. Then, he looked back at the Dark Prince, filled with unwillingness, before he said through gritted teeth, I’ll take my leave first!”
Then, Jiang Dongshan crashed the jade talisman in his hand.
At the same moment, the jade talisman shattered, a voice rang by Jiang Dongshan’s ears.
“Set.”
