210 It Must Be Him! (1/2)
He could choose not to believe, but he didn't dare to make the gamble. As he stood torn and terrified, and before he was given the chance to decide, Wang Baole's spirits strengthened. He lifted his head to the sky and laughed. He didn't retreat and instead charged towards the black-robed man, a cold, murderous glint glimmering in his eyes. A loud roar thundered from his lips, rumbling through the air and shaking the earth, and summoning raging thunder!
”It only takes a thought to leave the deep prison…”
As the words left his lips, the thunder grew more ferocious. The deafening roars transformed the heavens and earth. Clouds gathered rapidly, forming a giant hand spanning ten thousand yards in the sky!
The hand blanketed the heavens and cast an enormous shadow over the vast lands. From afar, the giant hand in the air was a fearsome sight. The shadowed lands beneath it were not only cast into darkness but seemed to be stripped of all life, revealing signs of death!
The black-robed man trembled fiercely. He could feel himself shuddering like never before; a fear unfurled within him that he had never felt before. He stared at the giant hand in the sky and at Wang Baole, who had an air of confidence. He didn't seem as if he was trying even the slightest to put on an appearance of self-assurance, it was as if he was confident of his ability to destroy the giant tree.
His self-confidence amplified the overpowering aura of the hundred-thousand-feet long giant cloud hand hovering in the sky behind him. The hand slammed towards the earth in a thunderous rush, blanketing everything in its descent!
The sight of it finally drove the black-robed man to a mental collapse.
I've heard in the past that the Ethereal Dao College's Grand Supreme Elder, the former Federation President, landed on the ancient green-bronze sword… and brought back an infant boy…
This infant was not of the earth's human bloodline but had come from beyond the skies… could it be that he's that infant! Upon that thought, the black-robed man was overcome by emotions, his breathing stilled. The more he thought about it, the more he thought himself right.
Yes, those two kids, the boy is a War Soldier from the Five Generation Sky Clan, and the girl is a rare mutation. They are destined to reach the Core Formation realm… that such gifted ones would willingly unleash their most powerful attacks to protect him… clearly, they must be his servants, tasked with the responsibility of guarding him!
At the thought of that, the black-robed man could stand firm no more. With his face pale, he started retreating quickly and ran away. His only thought was his own loathing of how slow he was. The idea of killing Wang Baole and the others had been wiped clean from his mind.
He knew that at present, Wang Baole was too great a terror. He also knew that if he touched a single hair on Wang Baole, the whole Ethereal Dao College might go crazy, especially the former Federation President; he would fly into an unimaginable rage.
In his mind, Wang Baole's origins were tied intimately with the ancient green-bronze sword. That was a great blow to his spirits, and he fell back quickly.
If it had been before, Wang Baole would have been overjoyed at the black-robed man making his escape, but he was brimming with confidence. He thought it natural for the black-robed man to run away and had no intention of letting him escape.
His confidence had soared to the heavens. He thought of Little Missy in the mask as a genius. The power of the sutra had exceeded his wildest imagination.
Such faith and confidence led to his laughing out loud to the sky, with a cold glint ignited in his eyes.
”Trying to run?”
”Let me tell you something. Once I unleash my killer move, I'm invincible!”
”You can kneel and call me daddy, but it won't help. You're not going to get away!” Wang Baole growled. He started a fierce pursuit, shouting as he ran.
”Await!” As he recited, the power exuding from the giant hand in the heavens grew.
”The!” The stars trembled. It was as if the entire heaven and earth were howling; as if a volcano was on the verge of eruption!
”Path!” At that juncture, Wang Baole was mad with glee. He yelled out the words. All of a sudden, even the Sword Sun started trembling and tilting!
A Qi that seemed as if it could wipe out all living things and exterminate all living creatures descended from the heavens and locked onto the black-robed man!
The series of events finally drove the black-robed man to a complete and utter mental collapse. He let loose a howl filled with fury and madness.
”No!” he roared. He would escape at all costs. He smacked his chest brutally with his right palm and spat out a big mouthful of green blood. In exchange, he became faster, speeding off in a thunder.
Wang Baole's heart was filled with excitement. He raced ahead fearlessly, speeding up his pace. He pursued relentlessly and was about to shout out the final two words.
