Chapter 1628 - Mask (1) (2/2)

”How interesting. My instincts tell me that you definitely aren't a dao expert despite my not being able to sense your cultivation. Yet, your divine sense is contradictorily far more powerful than mine. I'm afraid in a battle of souls, even a hundred of me wouldn't be worthy of you, hm?” Jasmine's smile didn't fade.

Dyon shrugged. ”All that means is that you can't hope to lock down this area with your domain. If I want to leave, even you can't stop me.”

Jasmine giggled. ”You're a bit too naïve, Little… Jaws, was it? Aren't you underestimating us dao experts a bit too much?”

”Maybe I'm underestimating dao experts as a whole. But, I'm definitely not underestimating you. It's a shame that a talent like you is bound to never leave this floating island.”

When Jasmine heard these words, her expression truly changed for the first time. This didn't happen when she was promised great rewards, nor when she was handed the opportunity to become a Higher Existence, nor when Dyon accused her of wearing a mask. But, when she heard these words, her soul was shaken to the core.

In that moment, her expression twisted. The bright and lively Jasmine's features suddenly became disgustingly dark. She was just as beautiful as before, but she had a menacing and dark aura that made her completely unapproachable.

Her irises grew in size as they darkened, enveloping her eyes in a profound, deep black. Looking at her now was akin to staring into an infinite black hole. She looked no different than a pale, vengeful ghost.

Although Jasmine realized her mistake in the next moment, it was already too late to fix anything. The true face of the Water Mist Sect's Palace Master was revealed before Ri and Dyon.

That sinister light, that evil aura, even if the Heavens themselves descended in some humanoid form to tell Dyon that this woman didn't practice any evil techniques, he would never believe it.

Ri frowned. Did she make a mistake? How could they ally themselves with such an evil individual? From the looks of it, Jasmine most definitely practiced numerous evil techniques. These weren't the same as demonic or devil techniques, they fell into a category of cruelty and murder those former techniques never touched upon.

Dyon smiled lightly. ”It seems you've finally decided to show yourself. Well. I wouldn't be much of a gentleman if I didn't keep my word, now would I?”
