513 Battles for Little Arty (1/2)

It didn't take long for Kurne and Hanan's group to meet each other. After looking at Krune's entourage, Hanan couldn't help but narrow his eyes since Krune's group numbers were higher than his own. Hanan then looked at Krune's neck and almost instantly recognized it as the item he had been looking for. To be safer, Little Arty decided to stay with Krune this time around instead of Feifei.

”I believe you have something that is mine.”

Krune snorted, though.

”I believe you are wrong. Am I not right, Little Arty?”

Little Arty then began to float.

”So you are the guys who entered my Origin Realm to look for me, uh? Speak, what do you want?”

Hanan wasn't surprised that it could speak. They had already been informed that the Holy Land Artifact had an Artifact Spirit.

”I can't tell, but I can guarantee that we mean no harm to you. As long as you come with us, no one needs to get injured.”

Hanan decided to negotiate first. The strength of the opposite group was above what he expected. Not to mention that he could see Laka looking at him as if he wanted to fight as soon as possible. As a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner, he could totally tell that Laka was the same type as him. In the end, he had no confidence that they could really take the Holy Land Artifact on their own.

Little Arty, on the other hand, began to laugh out loud.

”I'm sorry to throw it on your face, but your group doesn't have the ability to beat mine. I'm not trying to trick you, but just stating a fact. Besides, who would follow you just because you said so? Ridiculous!”

Hanan then asked back.

”Then why are you following this group? Isn't that the same thing?”

”You are wrong. I have accepted a new master, so I obviously had to follow them. But before you have the wrong ideas, I select my Master on my own. I wasn't forced by anyone to do so.”

Hanan just sighed.

”Of course, you were not forced. You are a God-Level Equipment. Considering that no one in the Holy Land has cultivation above the Divine Path Realm, it is simply impossible to force you to do anything you don't want. Well, at least, everyone other than us.”

Little Arty snorted once more.

”It seems like you came prepared for my rejection. Too bad, though. If I was still under my last Master's contract, then it might have worked. Let me guess, you brought a Catacklie Stone, am I right?”

Hanan's expression changed after hearing that. This was the first time he heard something he didn't expect.

”You know about it?”

Little Arty confirmed.

Hanan didn't know if the Artifact Spirit was telling the truth. But it would be quite troublesome if it was so.

”What can we do for you to accept to come with us?”

”You shouldn't make this question, though. First, I need to know what you want me for.”

Of course, Little Arty was necessary for their Liberation of Dalin's Plan. However, he couldn't tell that now. This is a strictly forbidden secret that shouldn't leave the Frunkan Clan at any cost. Otherwise, the Frunkan Clan would most likely be wiped out. However, it didn't seem like Little Arty would come with them without hearing the reason.

'I better try their strength first. They only have two Peak Divine Path Realm and one Heavenly Divine Soul Oner. If it turns out that we are stronger, then we can force the artifact spirit to come with us in exchange for their lives.'

”In that case, let us battle. Negotiations are made between parties of equal strength. If your group can prove that you have the power, then we shall continue this conversation.”

Hanan then looked at Julie.

”Stay far away. We won't be able to protect you for now.”

Julie quickly nodded before retreating. She really was in no condition to force a battle at the moment.

On Krune's side, Laka immediately got excited.

”Great! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to have fun today. Alacanta, do not intervene. That guy with the Heavenly Divine Soul is mine. Hahaha!”

Of course, Alacanta wouldn't simply follow Laka's orders. However, she decided to watch on the sidelines to see what Laka could do with his cultivation and Dragon Pearl. After all, his opponent was three stages above him.

Laka, Laex, Cinty, Krune, Alacanta, and Lala. All the demon beasts in their group immediately returned to their real forms. Still, Alacanta was taken aback by that. After all, this was the first time she saw Krune and Cinty's real form too. She didn't expect that those two were wisps at all!

Hanan's group was also shocked after seeing Krune and Cinty. Obviously, they knew everything about the wisps situation. Right now, there are two wisps in the Divine path Realm right in front of them. How could he not be startled by that?

'Could it be Wally's doing?'

Indeed, anyone in Hanan's position would have this idea as him. However, it was not time to think about it. That's because Laka was coming straight at him. Laka's entire body had a purple hue, which was the effect of the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. Hanan was three stages above Laka, but something told him that Laka couldn't be underestimated.

”Dragon and Phoenix Blast!”

One must remember that although Laka isn't a Dracophoenix, he is still the child of a Dragon and a Phoenix. So he could use both their bloodline powers!

Hanan's expression changed as he immediately attacked back.

”Heaven and Earth as one, Heavenly Sunder!”

KaBoom!

Hanan and Laka went all out in the very first clash. But surprisingly, neither side got the advantage in this first exchange. Immediately, the fabric of space over several kilometers broke apart! That instantly impeded anyone from using abilities like teleport. Without a stable space, teleporting was akin to suicide.

Laka and Hanan got knocked back by the explosion. Still, Laka quickly recovered and charged once more. His eyes were brimming with fighting intent. This exchange just now confirmed to Laex that he could really go all out. He had been looking for someone like that for quite some time.

However, Hanan was really shocked by that. He had really used his full power in the last attack, but he still couldn't get the upper hand even with his cultivation advantage. Of course, that only lasted a moment. The battle was ongoing, so he couldn't waste time thinking about it. He had to accept the reality of things.
