The Sword Qi pierced right through the purple mist as if stabbing into a piece of thick cow hide. Feeling a spasm from the strong recoil reflex, Zhou Bao gritted his teeth. The Fiery Eyes between his eyebrows immediately started to blaze. The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi suddenly came alive. And the frantic killing intent launched a sweeping attack.
Swish!
With a soft sound, the purple mist was ripped apart, and a glimmer of purple light shot out.
”Boy, go to hell!”
A snarl of outrage spewed forth from the old man in sackcloth. It came from within the purple light.
Outrageous indeed!
How could he not be furious?
All he had been doing was quietly observing the place, and all of a sudden, he had been ambushed by a sneak attack. It was no wonder that he was infuriated!
Amidst the purple light, numerous purple stars were shimmering. Playing the Three Realms Division to the extreme, Zhou Bao's figure flashed several times and he executed the space shuttling technique a dozen times in a row so as to dodge the purple stars. However, that did not work.
In a split second, Zhou Bao was hit by at least hundreds of purple stars. Though the cyan and golden lights kept flickering and deflected some of the purple light, these purple stars were too powerful and managed to break through the barricade of the Poison Cold Shield and the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang and shot directly onto Zhou Bao's body.
”Argh!” The immense pain caused Zhou Bao to let out a muffled scream. Immediately, blood flowed everywhere. His body that had been strengthened by the remains of the Innate Deity had been pierced by those purple stars! Each one of the stars was emitting a kind of power that made his body numb. The parts of his body that went numb immediately became very weak as well!
However, for Zhou Bao, this loss of strength was only temporary, so too with the injuries all over his body. After another half second, the numb sensations receded, and all his wounds had fully healed.
Meanwhile, the purple mist dispersed almost at once, leaving the old man in sackcloth standing there, fuming. His loosely hanging hair parted to show horrible bloodstains on his body—he had a severe wound between his shoulders!
That wound was caused by Zhou Bao's Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi.
When he saw that Zhou Bao was still standing, his rage instantly turned into shock. Zhou Bao noticed that he held a purple flower in his left hand, and around its petals were numerous purple stars, glistening and floating in the air. That was the sky full of purple stars which had injured him earlier.
”It's a Pure Yang Celestial Device, and its power is close to that of a fairy weapon. No wonder it can penetrate both of my defense layers and cause me to be injured!” Zhou Bao glanced at him in astonishment, finally able to ease the thought that was troubling him.
The background of this old man in sackcloth was an unusual and his cultivation was even more amazing, so it was hard for Zhou Bao to get down to the bottom of it all. He was worried that he would be in deep trouble if this old man had one or two fairy weapons with him. However, it was widely known that fairy weapons were not easily accessible, meaning it was not readily available to any ordinary being. Apparently, what this old man in sackcloth had was not a fairy weapon, but a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Although the power of this Pure Yang Celestial Device was extremely strong, Zhou Bao still felt relieved that this old man had not resorted to using a fairy weapon even after being forced into a corner by his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword and Poison Cold Shield and getting injured at the same time, which suggested that this guy had no fairy weapon on hand for sure. Otherwise, he would certainly have used it.
With all those concerns gone, Zhou Bao decided to end his fight with the old man. He sneered and with that, a jet of golden light shot out from the back of his head and zoomed to the sky. In the golden light, an antique golden mirror could be seen faintly, from which another blast of golden light flashed and charged directly at that old man.
”Demon-detecting Mirror?” At the sight of that mirror, the old man was at first petrified, but later gave a fleeting sneer. The purple flower in his hand instantly blossomed, forming a purple shroud around himself, which fended off the splendor of Zhou Bao's Golden Flame Mirror!
”Kid, you look very young, but you have more than one Pure Yang Celestial Device. Where on earth are you from? After blocking the Golden Flame Mirror, the old man showed no panic but exhibited total composure while asking his question. ”You are not a disciple of a certain lord or Elder from the Divine Wind Palace, are you?”
”Zhou Bao merely laughed at his words and replied, ”Stop playing for time. I came in by accident and found out about the dirty deal between you and the Divine Wind Palace. Thus, there is no other way!”
”Well, it's surely what I expected. You must have already known about the other place of Nine Dragons convergence. This is good. I can capture you and force you to tell me its exact location; it will save me a whole lot of trouble to have to search for it by myself. Since I've found the trail of space fluctuations you left when entering here, with some reverse calculations, I can easily discover the entrance that you came through. Thus, I don't have to bother interrogating you at all. Such being the case, you can just go to hell!” Grinning hideously, the old man in sackcloth stretched out a hand towards Zhou Bao with the purple flower in it. Instantly a gigantic shadow of the purple flower appeared on top of Zhou Bao's head, in full bloom and looking as though it was about to swallow him whole.
”With just a mere Pure Yang Celestial Device, you dare act rashly in front of me?” Zhou Bao laughed dismissively. From the shadow of that Golden Flame Mirror suspended over his head, there suddenly shone a golden light which knocked the gigantic purple flower away.
The huge purple flower had strong powers, but when it encountered the golden light emitted by the Golden Flame Mirror, it was thrown off instantly, much like a regular flower that had encountered a truck. Then, the golden light blazed strongly and an extremely powerful force instantly took up the entire space and forcefully pressed down upon that old man in sackcloth.
”A fairy weapon?” The expression of the old man in sackcloth altered dramatically. He did not expect that this Teen dressed in cyan clothes before him, who looked like a weakly scholar, had even possessed a fairy weapon!
Overwhelmed by this attack, the old man in sackcloth was firmly locked up by fetters comprising of seven different fire lights that had come out from the golden light. With a hard pull, the fetters jerked the old man towards the Elixir Furnace.
”That should work!”
Zhou Bao sighed with relief. But to his shock, a growl suddenly sounded in his ears.
”How dare you!”
