Chapter 873: Battle for the Map Fragment (Three)

The remaining two palm strikes from the Hao family Saint King fell almost at the same time, at the same place. After them, any auras from the bottomless pit had disappeared completely. No one knew if any of the hundred Saint Rulers or that Saint King were still alive anymore.

A Saint Ruler of the Seventh Heavenly Layer could heavily wound or directly kill a Saint King of the First or Second Heavenly Layer when they used a Saint Tier Battle Skill. The caster this time was a Saint King, not a Saint Ruler, so the power of the technique was naturally much greater. Even if they were not dead, they definitely would have sustained unimaginable injuries.

Jad and the five Saint Kings that had traveled over a hundred kilometers as they fought noticed this situation. Each and every one of them was shocked, revealing expressions of astoundment. All of them, even the strongest, Jad, had not grasped a Tian Level Saint Technique. The Saint King of the Hao family was far below them yet he already knew a powerful Tian Level Saint Technique. It brought disbelief to them.

Tian Level Saint Techniques were not easy to comprehend. They had all attempted the comprehension at their respective factions but they had all failed with no exception. The profoundness and complexity of Tian Level Saint Techniques made it hard for even Saint Kings to comprehend.

“Hahahaha, I’d like to see if you still have the power to take the map fragment.” Jad laughed aloud. The Saint King’s grasp of the Tian Level Saint Technique greatly strengthened his side, which made him beam with joy. Their ability to protect the Octoterra Map fragment had just greatly increased.

The Saint King of the Hao family sneered as he looked at the bottomless pit created from his three palm strikes. “A heavy price will definitely be paid when you try to take the things of my Hao family.” He then turned towards Jad and said, “Senior Jad, allow me to lend a hand of support.”

“No need. I’ll keep them busy, you leave quickly with the map fragment,” Jad replied loudly.

The Saint King of the Hao family hesitated slightly, before he clasped his hands at Jad. “I shall be taking my leave first then, senior Jad. I shall be repaying senior’s kindness some other day.” With that, he no longer deliberated and flew off into the distance with the remaining experts of the Hao family.

Something suddenly happened. A blood-red light flashed past, silently sweeping past the Saint King.

The light had appeared with no warning. It caught the Saint King off-guard and directly sliced off one of his fingers.

The pain caused the Saint King to groan in pain. However, as soon as he saw the lost finger, his expression changed abruptly. The finger was the one he wore his Space Ring on.

The Saint King of the Hao family burst into rage. Like an angered lion, he immediately roared out furiously and followed the falling finger. He wanted to retrieve the Space Ring.

The blood-red light appeared once again, quickly snatching up the Space Ring before he could get it back. It then flew off.

“Where do you think you’re going? Stay!” The Saint King’s eyes became bloodshot and he chased after the red light in a mad manner.

“The map fragment has been taken by someone,” cried out Daemon Lord Yun Feng who was battling Jad. He could no longer care and directly abandoned the battle and chased after the red light.

The other Saint Kings also stopped their fight, casting their fastest movement techniques to chase after it.

The red light only stopped after quickly traversing a hundred kilometers. A hunchbacked old woman appeared there soon after and caught the finger with one hand. She immediately removed the Space Ring from it, before tossing the finger far away. Smiling evilly, she croaked, “The map fragment is mine. Don’t even think about laying your hands on it.” Before she had even finished her sentence, she moved slightly, shooting off into the distance as a blur.

“Stay!” Jad roared and directly hurled a punch toward her. A huge fist rushed at the old woman with surging ripples of energy.

The old woman was also of the 16th Star but she was only a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint King. She was a fraction weaker than Jad. She quickly turned around, pushing out violently with her shriveled hands which collided with the fist of energy.

With a violent rumble, wild ripples of energy dissipated through the surroundings. Not only did Jad’s punch fail to slow her down, she used the knockback to speed up her escape.

A white, soft hand appeared out of nowhere at this very moment, right in front of the old woman. It landed quickly but gently on the old woman’s chest.
