Chapter 1038 - Jade Xiu Appears (2/2)

“Careful, Ink Scaled,” the Jade Xiu King said gravely, worry clouding his eyes.

The Three Great Kings were close as siblings, so it was only natural that he was worried about the Ink Scaled King at that moment. He wanted to run to help the other, but it was already too late. Besides, seeing how the Ink Scaled King was, it seemed like the latter had no plans of retreating at all, bent on testing the sharpness of that blade.

The Ghost King’s Sword morphed into a long dragon that brought an immense, unmatched power along with it. Mo Wen felt that that was not so much a sword as it was a world, and a world that contained boundless power within it collided into the Ink Scaled King.

His illusionary spirit divine wings might also be a heaven spiritual treasure—and a composite heaven spiritual treasure, at that—but the illusionary spirit divine wings were not an attack-type heaven spiritual treasure, so it did not give Mo Wen a strong impression. However, at this moment, the Ghost King’s Sword gave Mo Wen a terrifying feeling. So, this was how terrifying a heaven spiritual treasure could be.

At that moment, the Ink Scaled King had also released the strongest power of his life, which was like a black sun. He rushed to accept the Ghost King’s Sword. This was not just because he was bold, but also because he had confidence in himself. If he were not confident, there was no way he would have dared to take this blow.

Rumble!

When the earth shook, it seemed as if the entire Peng Lai Immortal Realm also shook.

The black light dispersed to reveal the figure of the Ink Scaled King. The black battle armor on his body had cracked to pieces and there was a very visible wound on the ferocious Qilin Arm that revealed the bone beneath the skin, one so deep it had almost cut the arm clean off of him. Fresh blood had dyed his entire body.

“Haha, this is exhilarating indeed. It’s been a long time since I’ve sustained such a heavy injury. It’s been about 100,000 years, I reckon.”

The Ink Scaled King looked like a maniac. His hair was disheveled and blood covered his entire body, but the aura coming off of him was becoming more and more intense. The ferocity of the Black Qilin reflected vividly off of him. For him, who had the bloodline of the Black Qilin, the best growing soil was the battlefield. He had been trapped in a cage for too long before and had no way to properly develop the specialty of his bloodline.

“The warrior’s finally found a new hobby.”

The Jade Xiu King was speechless. Before, when they had been in the preliminary ancient grounds, the Ink Scaled King had been the most famous warrior. However, he became a great king and no one was his match after that, so he had been sitting alone and lonely at the top for hundreds of thousands of years.

Even if he did not show it, Old Man Xuan You was also rather shocked. How old were these people—a hundred thousand years? Even if they were just boasting, they were going too far. Even cultivators at the Divine Illusionary Realm did not necessarily live as long, no? Who did they think he was? Although the portly man seemed rather extraordinary, how was it possible for him to live that long?

But this person was, indeed, not simple. Not only did he endure a swing of his blade, but he was also laughing at the end of it. Even Old Man Xuan You was chilled by that ferocious look and barbaric aura.

He had been merciless when he swung his blade earlier on, and even Supreme Profundity preliminary stage cultivators would be severely injured if they took the blow. No one was more aware of the power of the Ghost King’s Sword than he was. Originally, he had planned to kill that guy with one blow, but that guy messed it up.

“Come on, old fool. Let’s continue this,” the Ink Scaled King whooped.

He was not at all human. The life force in his body was massive beyond imagination, and his restorative strength was also terrifying beyond belief. At this moment, he had fully recovered, and the horrifying scar on the Qilin Arm was slowly patching itself up.

Old Man Xuan You was evidently vexed. This guy had the audacity to follow in the woman’s footsteps and call him an old fool. He was going too far, he really was!

Anger filled his chest and he brandished the Ghost King’s Sword again, charging towards the Ink Scaled King.

“Let’s finish up our match too, old fool.”

Gu Jingman called out to the old fool from the other side. Although she did not have the same strength Ink Scaled did, her battle power was also rather extraordinary. It was enough for her to restrain a portion of Old Man Xuan You’s power.

“Don’t think that I’m above killing you.” Old Man Xuan You was popping a vessel.

“Old fool, there’s still me. Don’t be mistaken because we of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension are no pushovers.”

Before Old Man Xuan You could respond, another “old fool” call rang out yet again. A beam of white light appeared soundlessly in the sky. It was a middle-aged man dressed in white. He was quite a handsome man, and he seemed like a rather mature person. His aura was not as barbaric as the Ink Scaled King’s but not as mysterious and sacred as Gu Jingman’s was. On the contrary, it seemed very tolerant, much like all the rivers that ran into the sea. It was as if the entire Heaven and Earth could be contained in his body.

It was none other than the Jade Xiu King, the strongest of the Three Great Kings.

Relying solely on the Ink Scaled King and Gu Jingman to stop Old Man Xuan You was, more than likely, impossible, so he had no choice but to step in. Although this would end up exposing their power, there was no way they could continue to conceal themselves now that things had come to this point.

Old Man Xuan You’s anger was rising and rising. Yet another nobody had come, calling him an old fool.

The fury rushed to his head and he immediately brandished the Ghost King’s Sword, transforming it into a beam of Sword Qi and charging directly towards the Jade Xiu King.

However, that one blow did not deal much damage. On the contrary, a beam of hazy white light had swallowed it whole. It disappeared without a trace in a split second, as if swallowed by a black hole.

Old Man Xuan You was shocked, and he stared in astonishment at the Jade Xiu King. For the first time, his face turned serious.

It was enough that the people of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension were humiliating him. To add insult to injury, not a single one of them was easy to handle. He gradually realized that, in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, things were not as simple as he had thought it would be.
