Chapter 693 (2/2)

“…you!”

The people in the surroundings just stared as Fang Xingjian stomped down on Devin time and time again. They saw that Devin was unable to fight back at all, and his feeble attempts to resist were like those of a primary school girl being pushed down by a big bear.

“Too strong!”

“How can this be?”

“To think that Devin can’t even fend off a single move from him?”

“A Divine level Gold Robed Mage… an expert who can control time… To think that he ended up being bashed up one-sidedly?”

Audrey, Xingxing`er, the Four Gentlemen, and other experts from the seven great clans watched this scene in great disbelief. They saw Devin being stomped to his death time and time again. Only they, who had experienced Devin’s power for themselves, could understand how terrifying this current scene was.

Just as Fang Xingjian was about to stomp down again, a seemingly material beam of golden light extended out from Devin’s chest.

If it could be said that the middle-aged Gold Robed Mage’s golden light was faint and thin like a layer of fine gauze, and Devin’s golden light was thick as golden cloth, then this golden light that suddenly appeared seemed material like gold bars. This seemed to also represent the strength of one’s diabolic energy.

The golden light soon formed a human silhouette that was completely gold in color, just like a golden statue.

It was a long-bearded elderly man who wore a long robe with long draping sleeves and had on a tall hat. The elderly man had just appeared when a gush of powerful pressure surged out. The space around the elderly man’s body continued to distort and collapse, as if the shadows of the past and the future could be seen flashing by.

When everyone saw this elderly man, they had this feeling: this elderly man seemed to be able to control time and draw out their lifespan from their bodies.

“This is…”

“Could this person be…”

“Master! Save me!”

As Devin cried out, everyone finally knew, amidst great astonishment, just who this golden figure was.

Devin’s Master was the leader of the Gold Robed Mages, a top notch expert in the Mage Association—the Gold Mage King.

The life and death of the universe… The cycle of all living things seemed to be flowing constantly in his eyes. It was as if the endless river of time was flowing in them.

Everyone was greatly shocked to see the Gold Mage King.

“To think that the Gold Mage King has come down personally,” Xingxing`er said fearfully, “I wonder if Fang Xingjian is a match for the Gold Mage King.”

“If it’s this clone, then Xingjian should still be able to fend it off,” Young Master Meng said. Then he sighed and added, “But this also means that from today onward, we’ll be enemies with the Mage Association.”

Young Master Long frowned and said, “That is still uncertain. With Xingjian’s current abilities, even if he isn’t a match for the Gold Mage King’s true self, he would at least have the rights to negotiate terms. As long as he can let Devin off, then there might still be a chance to convert the enemies into friends.”

Everyone looked at the Gold Mage King. None of them had the courage to fight it out with him. In their opinion, the best result would be for Fang Xingjian to let Devin off and make peace with the Gold Mage King.

Seeing Fang Xingjian, the Gold Mage King shouted, “Fang Xingjian, hang on first…”

“A mere clone wants me to stop? Scram.”

Concurrently, four astonishing rainbows soared into the air. The Celestial Eradication Sword Formation was activated, and endless powers were reinforced onto Fang Xingjian.

Earlier on, regardless of whether it was to deal with the middle-aged Mage or with Devin, Fang Xingjian had only relied on his physical strength and had not activated the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation. However, with the appearance of the Gold Mage King’s clone, he would not continue to hold back and not use his sword formation.

As Fang Xingjian stomped down, he brought along endless sword Qis from the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation. In that instant, golden light shattered, and the Gold Mage King’s clone was destroyed by Fang Xingjian’s stomp. Fang Xingjian then continued to stomp down onto Devin’s body.

This final time that he crushed Devin’s head and turned Devin’s entire body into a pool of paste, Devin did not regenerate. The diabolic energy in his body had been completely depleted.

Everyone watched in a daze as the Gold Mage King’s clone was destroyed despite having just appeared. Devin had also died thoroughly. Their minds were completely blank and they were unable to speak a single word.
