216 Chapter 213: Guardian of second region! (1/2)
”Stop.”
A single sentence, a single word. But this seemingly simple command was as if it was the only thing that mattered in the world.
The aura commanded by the owner of this voice was irrevocable, inviolable and supreme. Such that, by the time this single word was spoken, all the haphazard scene happening on the battlefield right now immediately stopped, as if the frost of winter had arrived.
Even Duan Li, whom was busy rummaging and on a fetching-spree of monster cores from the fallen Iguanas had halted his action and looked up.
”This voice..” Duan Li narrowed his eyes in alarm as he gazed towards a certain direction on top of the volcano.
The voice came from on top of that volcano!
Then, like a streak of lightning, a figure abruptly appeared on the sky and descended down at a speed surpassing that of sound.
BTOOOMMM!!
When this figure landed, the ground beneath his feet cracked like cobwebs due to the devastating impact, and it took quite a long while before the spread of these cracks stopped altogether, and by the time it stopped, the whole battlefield was already filled with these cracks, looking like a destroyed world!
Huuu!!
The figure that appeared in front of Duan Li wore a simple battle Gi uniform that was white in color, devoid from any dirt on it. At first glance, this person seemed to be like a mortal martial arts practitioner, but Duan Li knew that there was more than what meets his eye.
This bald old man with a weird moustache and no beard, was in fact not that simple at all!
From the aura that the latter was radiating out, it was unlike anything that Duan Li had experienced before. Usually, an expert of the highest caliber would have fine control over their aura such that no one would be able to tell that they were a cultivator. Yet, this aura felt extremely viscous,wild and unabated, causing natural deference to anyone that felt it up close like what Duan Li was feeling right now.
”This old man.. he must be the Guardian of this second region!” Duan Li thought of a plausible theory.
This was because the old man in front of him, whom had both hands clasped behind their back was extremely powerful! Even the might of old man Jing Zhianghu, the Guardian of the First region whom he had met before, could not be compared to this old man at all!
It was like the difference between Heaven and Earth!
”You are.. the Guardian of the Second region?” Duan Li asked out in a polite manner.
”Indeed I am.” Dugu Liubai said with an indifferent tone and expression. Even though he was shocked thoroughly by the fellow in front of him so many times before, to the extent of almost turning deranged, now that he was standing in front of him, he need to show his dignity and prestige as the Guardian of the Second region.
”I have to ask you to stop whatever it is you are doing right now.” he then continued as he said it with an authoritative air.
Hearing this, Duan Li couldn't help but to feel a little bit resentful.
Stop? I've went to such lengths in order to collect all these monster cores, and I'm still not done yet..
Still, Duan Li nodded as a sign that he complied with the latter's command. After all, not only was the other party's cultivation realm was beyond his means, this old man was also the Guardian!
Therefore, Duan Li had no choice but to concede!
”Forgive me for asking, but if its not too much trouble, can I have the honor of knowing elder's name?” Duan Li said.
Again, Dugu Liubai found the need to show Duan Li his dominance, thus he snorted for a bit and said ”Dugu Liubai!”
