770 Counter Measure (1/2)

The cloud and wind danced. A million-foot island was suspended in the void, cut off from the rest of the world.

This was also another world 1,000 times larger than the Cloud World, who knows how many layers of space pillars were within?

Beside a small lake, a Dragon and a man were facing off with one another.

In the lake was a snow-white Giant Dragon, its body was hidden in the water and couldn't be seen. Only its head reached out of the lake, looking opposite with disdain.

On the other side of the chessboard was Wei Xu. He was still dressed in Confucian attire with a crown on his head.

However, at this moment, his clothes were torn apart and he looked viciously at the chessboard without any scholarly demeanour at all.

”I think it is better for you to admit defeat sooner!”

The silver-white Dragon seemed to have become impatient, shaking its head, ”You have obviously already lost! In just seven steps, this game will end! Why do you continue to waste time?”

Wei Xu wasn't fazed, looking down and focusing on each and every box to search for a chance to survive.

30 minutes later, the silver Giant Dragon finally went insane. More of its body stretched out of the lake, bringing with it numerous chains.

”Half a day has passed, how long are you going to delay? It isn't like you have not lost before in the past, but now you keep dragging out, so unlike a man…”

”Tsk! What do you know? A man who doesn't admit defeat, that is a true man!”

Wei Xu scoffed coldly and retracted his gaze unwillingly. Then, he looked across with a weird expression, ”Speaking of which, this is weird. Aoyi, you still have the heart to play chess with me now?”

”Eh?”

The snow-white Giant Dragon was instantly stunned, its pupils were filled with confusion.

Wasn't this fellow the one who forcefully made his way in to make her play chess with him?

Why was he saying such weird things now?

”You still don't know?”

Wei Xu's face was filled with confusion and then he understood, ”Ah, that's right! I forgot to tell you about this matter. Actually, Aokun has already run out from the seal.”

Before he finished, there was a flurry of chains clanging. The gaze opposite him was nearly about to rip him to shreds.

”When was this?”

Aoyi's entire body rose out of the lake as she focused on Wei Xu with a cold expression. She couldn't be bothered with the chess game anymore. Her eyes were filled with shock, rage and hatred as a tooth grinding smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, she really wanted to swallow Wei Xu!

”It happened roughly two years ago. The one who let him out was a second-generation disciple from my Common People's Path…”

Wei Xu said impassively, also helping Common People's Path take credit for it at the same time.

However, he could sense the darkness within the eyes of the dragon. If a gaze could kill, then his body would have been destroyed by now.

Hence he stopped, his tone changing to try to shift her attention.

”Oh right! I heard that fellow seems to be searching for Huayun and your sister? Have they started fighting now? There is also Dragon Shadow. That old man actually reached the End Realm one step ahead of me. He was obviously close to exhibiting the five stages of death, how unbelievable…”

Before he was able to finish, the entire island was shaking.

Those black chains were tearing and breaking apart, piece by piece!

The lake surged and bubbled and a giant wave rose up into the sky. Around it, those lake stones connected to the chains were all smashed apart, revealing the many golden pillars within. Beneath this lake was actually a giant Spiritual Formation.

However, at this moment, it couldn't restrict this white Giant Dragon, so it was falling apart.

Aoyi broke free from the iron chains and then its body changed, turning into a girl.

Her jade-like face was drained of blood. Her eyes which were distinctly black and white stared viciously at Wei Xu.

”I will remember what happened today! Sooner or later, I will get back at you for this!”

She had no intention of staying any longer, directly leaving this world and stepping into the void.

When Wei Xu saw this, he felt extremely dejected, ”Little Yi, Little Yi, do you care about that fellow so much? To think I spent so many thousands of years together with you so that you weren't lonely. Do I have no chance at all?”

When he said this, a fist-sized pearl sped through the air from the void in the distance.

Wei Xu frowned, the space in front of him twisted and changed continuously.

The pearl still lightly smashed into his forehead.

At this moment, that crisp voice spread out from the distance, ”Call me Senior! You are so rude! Didn't you want this pearl? I will give it to you. As for Brother Ao breaking free, many thanks for that!”

Wei Xu broke out into a laugh as he grabbed the pearl in his hands and took a careful look. He then kept it in his sleeves as a weird glow flashed in his eyes.

This pearl was indeed unusual, close to a Heaven Opening Treasure. However, the one who controlled it had to be extremely powerful, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to touch it.

Also, half a step to the End Realm? This person's cultivation hadn't declined over the few thousand years of time…

He stepped beside the lake and reached his hand deep into the water which had calmed down.

When he took his hand out, his arm was shedding some skin and some places were burned.

He was the Great Sun Knife Saint, he cultivated the Great Sun True Technique, extremely similar to the Buddhist Dari Rulai.

It was tough for him to be hurt by heat in this world. However, this water did just that!

”As expected, is this Extreme Flame True Water?”

The skin on his arm was able to recover back to normal in an instant.

Wei Xu laughed helplessly and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

One had to trap oneself within the lake, suffering burns from the flame power in order to improve and obtain a chance to progress.

This woman's heart was simply too terrifying! He wasn't as good as her.
