Chapter 670: Comes and Goes As He Pleases (2/2)
Each drop of Blacklake Heavy Water weighed as much as a mountain peak that was several thousand meters high.
Loud clashing sounds echoed out from the places where the drops of Blacklake Heavy Water slammed into the huge light blade. The collisions gave rise to dazzling light that lit up the dark space disruption zone.
CRACK!
The enormous light blade couldn’t withstand the strong impact from the Blacklake Heavy Water and suddenly crumbled, turning into countless glowing spots that filled the void.
Zhao Shanling shook his head. “It seems that, even with the help of the Voidspirit Pagoda, it’s still not that easy to trap someone whose cultivation base is higher than mine.”
Nie Tian noticed that only Yao Zhilan, who was at the late Soul realm, had broken free from Zhao Shanling’s Spatial Imprisonment.
Tian Ziping, who was at the middle Soul realm, was only able to move about freely after Yao Zhilan had countered it with her profound spells.
However, Mu Biqiong, who was the Holy Daughter of the Bliss Mountain Sect, still couldn’t move a hair. She could only observe the battle between Zhao Shanling and Yao Zhilan with her wide eyes.
Even though she had unmatched cultivation talent, she was still limited by her Worldly realm cultivation base. There was nothing she could do but watch in a battle at this level.
SHEW!
The Spatial Imprisonment was deactivated, and the streak of glorious light resumed its motion, flashing off into the distance.
However, as the countless fine spatial patterns on the Voidspirit Pagoda started to move and change in a bedazzling way, the streak of light changed direction and started flying towards Yao Zhilan.
Yao Zhilan gasped with astonishment.
It seemed as if the previous gigantic blade wasn’t nearly as deadly as this streak of light in her eyes.
Yao Zhilan hastily sent a voiceless message to Tian Ziping, saying, “That man can use the Voidspirit Pagoda to manipulate the deadly lights that flash past in this space disruption zone. I can’t defeat him here. Take the Holy Daughter and leave now!”
“Will do!” Tian Ziping replied. He knew that Mu Biqiong’s safety was of paramount importance. They couldn’t afford to let anything happen to her.
Therefore, he prepared to find an opportunity to take her and escape. However, at that very moment, a smile appeared on Yao Zhilan’s face as she said, “He’s here!”
In the distance, a hunched old man was standing on a golden sword and flying towards them like a golden lightning bolt.
Zhao Shanling instantly sensed the anomaly. He let out a cold harrumph and said, “Today is your lucky day!”
As soon as he uttered these words, the void realm he and Nie Tian were in morphed into a streak of light that shot into the opposite direction from the incoming person.
The countless fragmented spatial blades followed along like a large shoal of fish.
There was nothing Yao Zhilan could do to stop Zhao Shanling. She could only watch Zhao Shanling leave with his nose in the air as she did everything within her power to avoid the streak of deadly light.
After surviving the light, she muttered, covered in cold sweat, “Who is that man? How did he learn about Master Voidspirit’s legacies. Not just that, but he even eliminated all the competition by killing Han Chigui and Qi Jiuchuan, and eventually obtained the Voidspirit Pagoda.”
“I suppose he’s not from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries,” Mu Biqiong said with an expressionless face. Only after Zhao Shanling left did she finally struggle free from the Spatial Imprisonment’s influence. “I don’t remember there being a spatial power master like him in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.”
Yao Zhilan’s expression flickered. “If he’s not from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, does it mean he’s from a more advanced domain?”
Tian Ziping nodded. “That’s probably the case. Since the Voidspirit Pagoda’s soul has acknowledged him, he must be beyond ordinary. I suppose only a more advanced domain can produce such a powerful figure.”
SHEW!
The hunched old man arrived on his golden sword. With a testy tone, he asked, “Who was that man? Why does he have Master Voidspirit’s pagoda?”
With an angry face, Yao Zhilan said, “Who knows? He took out the entire team we sent in there, and he killed Qi Jiuchuan from your sect too.”
“What are you still waiting for then?” The hunched old man asked furiously.
“The Voidspirit Pagoda’s soul has already acknowledged him as its master. Since we’re in a space disruption zone, who can stop him if he wants to leave?” Yao Zhilan replied with a rhetorical question.
Upon hearing these words, the hunched old man’s eyes widened in shock. “He’s already gained total control of the Voidspirit Pagoda?!”
“If not, would I be standing here, at my wit’s end, when he’s only at the middle Soul realm?” Yao Zhilan said, huffing.
“Who would have thought that even though both our sects have planned and prepared for years, someone else would swoop in and take the spoils.” The old man sounded rather frustrated.
