Chapter 1057 - His Teacher intervenes (2/2)

“Kill.”

“Continuing killing. He is already heavily injured.”

“Quickly!”

All of them might be shocked at the failure of their joint attack, but they understood how precious time was.

“Hong~”

“Die!”

His Highness Blaze Wind continued operating the Time Domain. The water-fire envoys were also keeping their combined attacks. As for Fan Chu Hu and Rain Dust Walker, they felt humiliation from the failure and were utterly furious now.

“Sky Rending Claws!” Fan Chu Hu roared. His two palms had turned into the shape of claws and had torn apart the world. This was a set of ruthless claw technique that was created by his master, the ‘Sky-Rending Great Paragon’, just for them, the Hundred-Battle Devil Gods.

“Dust returns to dust, dirt returns to dirt. Extinguish.” Rain Dust Walker was feeling furious. Being a cultivator under the sect of Drifter, he was proud too.

He sent his hammer out.

“Weng–”

It arced through the void, producing a unique flute-like sound from the movement of the wind. There was some charm in this sound that would cause others to sleep, one that was eternal.

…

“Hong long long~”

The five great experts continued sending out their attacks. It continued for three rounds.

“It seems the aura on his body is still strong–it hasn’t been weakened severely. At least half his lifeforce remains. We do not have sufficient time. Hurry up and leave.” His Highness Blaze Wind who had been controlling the Time Domain all this while shouted out.

“Go.””Go.””Go.”

All of them might feel unwilling, though they did not hesitate.

“Sou sou sou.”

All of them disappeared from the place.

They were clear that the Southern Cloud King would definitely intervene and save his disciple when his disciple was in grave danger even though the king had a great status. The king could simply ‘wave’ his hand at the five of them, and they would be doomed. Under that circumstance, it would not be considered the ‘strong bullying the weak’. It was merely the king venting his anger.

And if they succeeded in escaping, and if the Southern Cloud King continued pursuing them, it would be too disgraceful.

The real apex cultivators in the Realm Heart Great Land were also bound by some unspoken rules. After all, every organization had an ultra-strong expert in it. For instance, the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation and Summer Wind Ancient Nation were much stronger than what the Southern Cloud King could exert! This was also because the various powers had apprehension over this, causing the unspoken rules to arise. If they were really bullying a small organization, it was fine to just sweep them away. How would they be qualified to talk to the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation and other similar organizations about the ‘unspoken rules’?

Those who were qualified to talk about these rules were already proud sons of heaven.

Naturally, the Southern Cloud King had to obey these rules too.

“Hong~”

The shockwave from the battle blasted in all directions.

Many strands of light descended from the sky. This was light from the operating nation protecting arrays which the Fiery Zhao Capital had. They were able to withstand against those shockwaves.

“Cough, cough.” Xue Ying spat out more blood again. He flew out from the deep gouge and floated in midair while looking at his surroundings. The shockwave from the battle did not affect a considerable area. But it was still inevitable for several residences belonging to some cultivators to be destroyed.

“They dare to act in the capital without planning to hide their aura at all?” Xue Ying felt himself turning more furious as he saw what had happened.

He felt really sullen this time.

From the start to end, Xue Ying could not retaliate at all. Of course, everything happened too quickly too. Each of the assassins was a tenth level expert, and they only released three moves in total. How fast was that? Furthermore, Xue Ying was trapped in a Time Domain, making his reaction even slower.

“Xue Ying, you should return and take a rest first. This time, the Sky Sword Sect actually dispatched so many experts to deal against you. Very good. If I did not retaliate, I would be looked down upon.” The voice of Southern Cloud King sounded by the ears of Xue Ying at that moment–his voice was filled with rage.

“Teacher, I’ll naturally find them after a few days.” Xue Ying added.

“This you don’t have to care anymore. Just have a good rest.” Southern Cloud King was naturally prepared to handle things himself since he was able to position himself amongst the peak across the Realm Heart Great Land.

Just as the other party finished speaking, Xue Ying could feel an unseen aura leaving.

‘It seems teacher is going to act personally.’ Xue Ying thought. Facing the matter of the Sky Sword Sect advancing into the Fiery Zhao Nation, Xue Ying had always been the one dealing with it. It had been several hundred thousand years, yet the Southern Cloud King remained nonchalant as he watched things progress. Nevertheless, the moment the King suffered from a loss, he would definitely retaliate! Clearly, he felt that just his disciple alone was insufficient from dealing against the entire Sky Sword Sect.
