Chapter 1591 - Virtuoso’s Trump Card (1/2)

Saber9’s attack could not be considered weak by any means.

Although this was the less powerful version, from Lin Huang and Virtuoso’s point of view, it was at least at the level of a half-step Lord.

Seeing that Nine Gloom’s figure had utterly vanished and even his aura was no longer present, the first reaction from Lin Huang and the others was—could Nine Gloom finally be dead at last?!

However, a moment later, the three of them had a change of expression almost simultaneously. All of them looked at a spot on the ground not too far away.

A new vine tendril suddenly extended from the surface of the earth, then a second and a third… Within the blink of an eye, they consolidated into a humanoid figure.

It was Nine Gloom, clad in the silver armor from earlier!

“I almost died…” The silver-armored Nine Gloom could not help exclaiming as his body regenerated.

“As expected, I most certainly underestimated you.” His gaze finally alighted on Saber9 now. “However, I don’t suppose you have any remaining strength to attempt a second attack like the one you just pulled off.”

Nine Gloom’s speculation was because he could sense Saber9’s aura slowly decreasing. This was a phenomenon that would only happen when one’s Divine Power was drained.

Nine Gloom’s guess was absolutely correct. In fact, Saber9’s actual condition was even worse than Nine Gloom’s initial speculation.

Drawing on the life-saving saber formation left by his Primordial form had resulted in a definite backlash for Saber9.

Currently, not only had he suffered a drain on his Divine Power, his spirit and physical body had been taxed to the limit. He was on the verge of collapsing entirely.

Fortunately, apart from discovering that Saber9 had no more strength left to fight, Nine Gloom did not sense any further anomalies.

As for Lin Huang and Virtuoso, they had no idea that Saber9 was in such a dire condition after his attack. However, before he made his move, Saber9 had already informed both of them that he could only launch a single attack. Whether or not it killed Nine Gloom, he no longer had the strength to fight anymore.

When Virtuoso saw the look that Saber9 sent them, they needed no words to understand what it meant.

Saber9 had completely lost his capacity to fight. The only chance for killing Nine Gloom now depended on their own trump card.

At this point, Virtuoso spoke to Lin Huang through voice transmission, “If I’m not able to kill him after using my trump card, run as far away as you can. Don’t bother about the two of us; we both have means of survival.”

When he heard this, Lin Huang knew that the other two had not considered that he himself might have a trump card or two. However, upon thinking about it, he let it pass. After all, the pair had trump cards left to them by Almighties who far surpassed lord-level. From their point of view, if their trump cards could not kill Nine Gloom, then none of Lin Huang’s trump cards would be very effective.

However, in his heart, Lin Huang could not help grumbling, ‘This is Nine Gloom’s God Territory. Even if I really wanted to flee, where would I go anyway?!’

At that moment, Virtuoso added, “Our means of survival might very well affect you.”

Only then did Lin Huang realize that Virtuoso was not asking him to flee from Nine Gloom’s pursuit but to get away from the effect that would result from the pair using their trump cards.

After this exchange with Lin Huang, Virtuoso then turned their attention back to Nine Gloom.

This enemy that they were facing had certainly far exceeded their expectations in terms of difficulty.

Initially, Virtuoso had thought that even if Saber9 activated his trump card on his own, it might still be sufficient to kill this wretched fellow in front of them, despite the attack being significantly less powerful. Even if it failed to kill Nine Gloom, it might still injure him severely.

However, from the looks of things, Nine Gloom appeared to be completely fine. They wondered what sort of special technique he might be using.

Despite having been on the receiving end of Saber9’s nigh half-step lord-level attack, even Nine Gloom’s aura showed no signs of weakening at all.

Virtuoso was not at all sure if their trump card would be able to kill him.
