579 Pill and Throne (2/2)

She recalled that this wasn't the time to talk about all this. Zong Shou was saying all this random stuff to make her distracted.

Her brow instantly furrowed. \”Your situation is tough to solve! Unless you find a way to balance the bloodline, it is totally unsolvable. In a week I think you are going to die!\”

Zong Shou laughed, grabbing out with his hand as he caught onto a weird-looking evil spirit. Using the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Method to absorb it, he didn't take it into his body, but formed a circular essence bead in his palm.

\”My ambitions haven't been reached, I don't want to die with regrets!\”

\”You really are direct! Is that the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique?\”

Shui Lingbo's eyes lit up and saw that Zong Shou had directly sucked out the life mark of that evil being. It seemed it wasn't actually difficult for Zong Shou to balance his bloodline. \”I know that there are at least two water element God beasts hidden here. However, who knows if they are dead or they reached Celestial Realm or God Realm. We might not be able to run into them. To play it safe it is better if we find that person...\”

\”That person? Is it Tanqiu? Who is disguised as that person?\”

\”Guess yourself. Since you already have an idea, why did you ask? In the end, why did you ask?\” Shui Lingbo's lips curled up in disdain. \”Speaking of which, we haven't met in a few years and your sword technique really improved! If it wasn't me just now, other people might not be able to block that!\”

...in truth, her heart was filled with fear.

Just now she was just a small bit away from falling! That sword was too sharp and too unexpected. Unless she had no choice, after that first sword she wouldn't be willing to block a second one.

However, this was something she definitely would never admit!

Zong Shou smiled widely, nodding in agreement, \”For Fairy to receive it, I was also surprised! Within the Cloud World there definitely aren't many who can go up against you!\”

Actually, he felt like he himself was rather perverted. Not referring to his personality, but his power.

These weren't arrogant words, but actually him being really, really humble.

In the same Grade, there were definitely not more than three people in the Cloud World who could take that blow.

However, why did these words sound like the two of them were shamelessly bragging about one another?

The two of them speechlessly exchanged glances, they laughed like mad men, filled with joy, pride and self-mockery.

Shui Lingbo asked curiously, \”Just now I was finding it weird how you managed to bear with it when Feng Taiji came. That was such a loss of face, and you aren't someone who is able to swallow such disrespect...\”

\”I gave Leidong and Suchen face by not arguing with them.\”

\”So that was the case! Then what about Wuxuan and Xiao Xiangzi? I have been annoyed with them for a long time. They are so arrogant, raising their heads so high that their noses are about to touch the sky. However, I am much older than them, so it isn't appropriate for me to attack! To think I was anticipating so much...\”

\”I progress too quickly, my internal energy has greatly increased!\”

\”Oh?\” Shui Lingbo's brows rose up, she understood the key to what he was saying.

Zong Shou continued, \”If I can't control my strength, someone will die!\” His tone was calm, but was so certain that it couldn't be doubted at all.

Even if those two needed to die, they couldn't die in front of everyone and under his hands.

There was no animosity or grievances between them, they just couldn't stand one another. A battle between young people, there was no need to be so vicious.

---

The two of them spoke while walking forwards. Maybe Shui Lingbo was really bored or maybe she just couldn't take it, continuously talking with him.

As they proceeded forwards she felt something. The broken space around Zong Shou was actually being forcefully suppressed, and she was unable to move and teleport.

Just as she felt surprised and filled with doubts, Zong Shou squinted and looked in one direction, only to feel threads of chilly energy spread over from them. Different from the yin energy here, this was extremely pure, filled with the smell of the ocean, and also extreme cold from the frozen lands.

When Zong Shou felt it, it was like someone who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time smelling the scent of delicious food, his heart was shaking.

That was a water element God beast...

Zong Shou didn't understand why a God beast was surviving here in these ten thousand year old ruins.

However, the aura was indeed that of a water element God beast! Its Grade wasn't low, either...

He couldn't help but grasp the sword in his hand hard enough to make the veins stand out.

Shui Lingbo felt it and frowned, \”You are planning to go over?\”

Zong Shou didn't reply, just nodded. What could he do if he didn't? In the Yin Dragon Canyon, his only way of surviving might be to go over...

Either that, or he left now and searched for a water element God beast in the world river to swallow.

\”The aura there doesn't seem weak!\” It wasn't that strong, but the vast aura was like an endless ocean.

Shui Lingbo only used the words not weak to describe it, then asked, \”Do you know why the sects came this time?\”

However, she didn't wait for Zong Shou to ask, opening her mouth to explain, \”It is for a pill and a throne.\”
