Chapter 1038 - Jade Xiu Appears (1/2)

Gu Jingman’s headstrong and savage attitude had very evidently aggravated Old Man Xuan You. He no longer had any reservations so, although he did not want to kill her, he had become much more vicious with his attacks. Every single one of them was capable of wounding Gu Jingman.

Gu Jingman’s physique was rather special in that, no matter how many times she was injured, she could recover. However, as time went on, it was obvious she could not persist this way and would eventually be captured by Old Man Xuan You.

Mo Wen noticed as much. It was already quite a feat that Gu Jingman could make it this far.

“Go help her,” Mo Wen said with a somber look on his face. He could no longer let Gu Jingman put herself in danger like that anymore.

The moment the Ink Scaled King heard those words, he morphed into a beam of black light in an instant and bolted out of Intentionless City. He had been holding back for a long time. He was practically peerless in the preliminary ancient grounds and after his cultivation had broken through since his departure from the palace, he had not met any decent opponents.

The appearance of Old Man Xuan You had thoroughly triggered his battle spirit. The old man was so excited that he could not control the glee he had from encountering pretty women. Although the Ink Scaled King knew that he was likely no match for the old man, he was still filled with battle spirit and wanted nothing more than a proper battle.

“Take this, you old man.”

The Ink Scaled King was brimming with aggression. His portly body was like a mountain and his entire being was like a volcano that had erupted. The king had only been messing around earlier on when he had been battling with the Tide Changing Realm cultivators, but now he could go all out without holding back and fight to his heart’s content. He did not care about the results, and all he wanted was a match.

The Ink Scaled King was a warrior down to his bones. In the Primeval Age, the Black Qillin had been the best of the Qilins in terms of battle and he had always been the one who appeared in the primeval battlefields.

The unexpected addition to the fray took Old Man Xuan You back, but it was not long before he laughed coldly.

“You overestimate yourself.” Old Man Xuan You glanced at the Ink Scaled King. He had long known that there was a powerful cultivator in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension who could massacre Tide Changing Realm cultivators as they so wished, but he had paid them little to no mind. Even a Supreme Profundity Realm preliminary stage cultivator was no match for him at all.

Besides, this portly man gave off a strong aura that had long surpassed regular great attainments of the Tide Changing Realm, but he was definitely not a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator.

“Cut the crap. We’ll talk after you take this blow of mine.”

In the next instant, the Ink Scaled King appeared right in front of Old Man Xuan You. A resplendent divine light exploded from the Qilin Arm as he swung a fist down viciously.

Old Man Xuan You dealt with Gu Jingman while casting a glance over at the Ink Scaled King. He raised a hand without much thought to parry the Ink Scaled King’s fist.

Old Man Xuan You had originally thought it would be easy to take that single blow from the Ink Scaled King, but the blow sent quakes through his entire body and he unknowingly took three steps back.

“What an overwhelming power, this isn’t simple indeed. It’s no wonder you could wipe out those Tide Changing Realm cultivators so easily.”

Old Man Xuan You looked at the Ink Scaled King strangely. To think the power of one fist was this strong, it was almost like he was no less than a Supreme Profundity preliminary stage cultivator.

However, the Ink Scaled King was worse off. His entire body was sent flying hundreds of miles away.

“Haha, that was exhilarating, old man. Again.”

The Ink Scaled King laughed raucously, his figure charging over in an instant. He had on him the Qilin Body and its tolerance level was way beyond what one could imagine. That one casual parry from Old Man Xuan You might have injured him, but regular injuries were negligible to him, and his Qilin Body could tolerate them no matter how many there were.

“Old fool, take this blow from me,” Gu Jingman called out daintily from the other side. A host of blood shadows split from her and stacked on top of each other. The entire sky was filled with her figures.

Old Man Xuan You seemed like he was about to explode. Just who did they think he was? One of them was calling him an old man and the other was calling him an old fool.

“You two are really looking for death.”

Old Man Xuan You was blowing his top, but he could not bear to kill Gu Jingman, so he could only take his anger out on the Ink Scaled King. The sword that had always been on his back finally made its appearance. It was five feet long and cold as frost. The moment it appeared, all of heaven and earth was covered in an awful atmosphere.

A heaven spiritual treasure!

Shock flashed across Mo Wen’s eyes—to think Old Man Xuan You had a heaven spiritual treasure on him! It was rare to see a heaven spiritual treasure on someone, even on a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator.

Heaven spiritual treasures and ordinary spiritual treasures were extremely different, and they were not even of the same world. Although they were both spiritual treasures, their statuses were extremely different.

The moment the heaven spiritual treasure was unsheathed, Mo Wen felt a bout of unparalleled sharpness rush over him, as if he could be sliced in half by it anytime.

The Ink Scaled King, the born warrior, had also felt the threat of the sword and it was rather impactful, but he did not retreat. As usual, he took in in stride and moved forth.

Old Man Xuan You let out a cold laugh. The sword in his hand was an ultimate treasure of the Sword Valley, a saber that had been handed down from generation to generation. It was the Ghost King’s Sword, and he could fight with even Supreme Profundity Realm later stage cultivators with it.

He extended his arm and the Ghost King’s Sword became a beam of sword light, charging viciously towards the Ink Scaled King.
