Chapter 429 - 379 : The Final (1/2)
After a short while, the couple readied themselves for the upcoming battle. The formation was set, both were armed with dozens of talismans and Arthur already started contaminating the air with formless poison.
His right hand was emanating a large amount of Death Energy which merged with the poison. No matter the means, they must weaken the old man then kill him.
Since he wants to bring her home, he won't try to kill her but the same couldn't be said to Arthur. The multi-colored wheel strangely engraved on the ground was pulsating with various colors while the black arrow was slowly rotating.
It didn't take much time for the butler to catch up. When he arrived, he noticed the large circle and felt the Death Energy coupled with the poison. Nevertheless, he bravely entered inside the formation and was greeted by his targets.
A silver-haired woman who was holding a thin white saber and a scarred man grasping a dangerous black blade which was vibrating from excitement.
The old man completely ignored Arthur and gazed at Lucy while saying
”Eva, it's futile to fight back. Go back with me.”
All he got in response was a cold snort from her.
”Your mother never ceased looking for you. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you come back.”
”The concept of parents if foreign to me and I wish not to meet this 'mother' of mine so why don't you go back and tell her that?”
Hearing her cold and threatening tone, the butler frowned and was unable to understand for her current behavior.
”For now, go back with me and meet your mother. If you don't want to stay there, you can always leave.”
Arthur chuckled and retorted:
”I bet you'll lock her up the moment she's there. The possibility of an arranged marriage is not unlikely either.”
The old man's expression turned ugly as he listened to this strange grey-haired man.
”So this is whom you picked as your 'husband'? A monster and a dark magic user.”
Unfortunately, the moment the old man uttered those words, Lucy was already in front of him, her saber stabbing his throat.
In retaliation, the old man raised his hand, ready to grab the thin saber only for it to vanish. Lucy let go of the saber and heavily punched the old man in his chest, causing him to stagger a few steps. This, however, was the beginning as six lotuses appeared above her head, they immediately bloomed, freezing the whole area and immobilizing the butler's feet.
Arthur followed right after as a burst of Dark Magic struck the immobile old man. The dark blade whistled as it was horizontally slashed at the target, planning to behead him.
For the first time in a long time, Makaze was met with resistance. A metallic sound could be heard as Evil Wind clashed with another sword.
The old man took out his weapon, a one-handed purple sword. Despite his high cultivation and the Celestial Body, the old man was unable to fully block Makaze, which was slowly pushing him.
The joint attack of the couple only began as Lucy joined the grey again, appearing behind the old man and viciously kicking his defenseless back.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The kick was so strong that it caused the old man's body to tremble. Some blood leaked out of his lips as she didn't hold back her Strength.
Such a basic attack wouldn't have worked were he not inside the Secret Realm, which restricted his cultivation, nevertheless, it wasn't a heavy injury so the butler was able to quickly stabilize his shaking body and receive Arthur's next strike.
A large and creepy black skull flew straight at the old man, who swung down his purple sword, causing a mysterious gentle energy to cut the skull in two.
The old man then jumped to the back, trying to dodge a burst of Golden Crow fire, which fell from the sky, ready to incinerate him.
When he thought he dodged it, the weird colorful wheel under him started acting up. The dark arrow that was slowly spinning stopped on the red color, causing the descending golden flames to transform into a gigantic illusory crow which clashed with the old man.
Just as the old man prepared himself to block the golden crow, the black arrow abruptly shifted from the red to the white color.
A deafening thunderclap reverberated across the whole region, startling the old man. The thunder bolt was thicker than the bolt, who was unable to react in time. It descended on him and stunned him while dealing massive damage.
