783 Baole Comes Out of Seclusion! (1/2)

The cry was extremely shrill. Even on the Ice Phoenix Legion's battlefield, it was extremely piercing and caused everyone in the surroundings to pause. The entire battlefield even went silent for a while…

Everyone's gazes unwittingly landed on the shrieking Lord Ling Tao. Whether it be the disintegration of his arms, the blood spurting out, the collapse of his chest and Dharmic Artifacts, or the cracking of the black ice cubes at his feet, they all made the scene look… extremely horrifying!

This continued until Lord Ling Tao crashed onto the ground with a thump, cracking many of the original bluestone bricks. As blood spurted everywhere, Lord Ling Tao, who had barely survived, struggled while an intense confusion appeared in his eyes. As he looked at Wang Baole, various thoughts raced in his mind.

What the hell is this! He was utterly confused. Everything that just happened felt extremely unreal. Just a moment ago, he was still in high spirits. He felt that, after reaching the False Immortal realm, he could definitely lead his army to become one of the top ten armies and become all-powerful.

But in the next moment… All he did was try to spear Wang Baole, but for some reason, he created an inexplicably horrifying storm that threatened to absorb him without giving him any time to react.

There must be something wrong… This was Lord Ling Tao's final thought. As this thought appeared in his mind, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and collapsed. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

In reality, his attack just now was filled with an intense intent to kill Wang Baole. To prevent others from gossiping, he prepared a killing blow. After all, he could claim that it was manslaughter. Hence, he used all his might in that attack, causing the 170% reflection of his attack by Wang Baole's Divine Justice Shield to exceed what he could withstand and making him unable to defend against it.

At that moment, as it was difficult to determine whether Lord Ling Tao was dead or alive, the mighty figures from the top-ranked armies watching the battle, and… the likes of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect's elder, all had changes in their expressions. Countless gazes coming from all directions gathered onto Wang Baole and took special notice of his Divine Justice Shield!

As for these mighty figures, it was fine that they didn't take notice previously. However, once they did, these mighty figures, who came from different places, all started showing weird expressions. After taking a close look, it was obvious that the Divine Justice Shield had already reached level seven. The huge change that happened just now was obviously formed via an unknown method.

But all of this wasn't the reason why their expressions were weird. What truly made them react that way was the fact that the pervertedly strong and previously unseen Divine Justice Shield was purposely hidden such that it only looked like a level three.

”How sneaky!”

”This guy… we better not piss him off!”

”He leads people to their demise without feeling remorseful!”

As thoughts rolled around in these mighty figures' hearts, Wang Baole also faintly felt the intangible gazes from beyond the heavens gather onto him. He felt a lot of stress in his heart, as well as where the problem lay. So, as he was helpless, he was also nervous. He looked at Lord Ling Tao, whose life or death was unknown, then looked at the ugly Divine Justice Shield in front of him. Finally, he coughed and swept his gaze towards the surrounding crowd that was staring with eyes wide and mouths agape. Showing a face of innocence, he walked several steps towards them.

”You all saw that, this can't be blamed on me. I was here thinking about some stuff when that guy touched my Divine Justice Shield to harm himself out of nowhere… He's faking it!”

Wang Baole's words, coupled with him walking closer, were like a giant stone dropping into water and causing giant ripples to spread. They caused the stunned crowd to all instinctively look at Wang Baole. They looked at him like they had seen a ghost, immediately retreating backward…

”Stay away!”

”Stop, Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, don't be rash!”

As they retreated, the female cultivators of the Ice Phoenix Legion and the cultivators of the seventh and eleventh armies, who were in mid-air, all spoke quickly and gazed at the Divine Justice Shield slowly circling around Wang Baole's body with horror.

After all, the former were cultivators from the same army as Wang Baole. Although they retreated out of fear, it was still understandable. As for the latter—cultivators from the two huge armies—they actually brushed away all thoughts of avenging Lord Ling Tao and retreated with shockingly fast speed…

It was as though, to them, Wang Baole was a nightmare. That was especially so considering the Dharmic treasure circling around his body was seemingly not a Divine Justice Shield at all. Instead, it seemed like an extremely horrifying murder weapon that killed anyone who touched it!

They weren't the only ones to feel this way. Even the commander of the seventh army, Dao Master Watercloud, a False Immortal in command of an entire army, looked as though he had seen a ghost and retreated even faster. After feeling extremely shocked, an unbelievably intense sense of avoiding a disaster and luck rose in his heart.

D*mn it, that's a Divine Justice Shield? There's no f*cking way it is!
