423 Receiving the Plate of the Chivalrous Hero (1/2)
”Say… Mumu, I suddenly remembered something that Wang Lu once said to me.”
”What is it?”
”Man without shame is invincible.”
”... How could you suddenly think of this?”
”Because I find that such a peerless handsome man like me is actually being defeated by the hands of a shameless scoundrel. Isn't this confirming Wang Lu's words? Hehe, it seems like the supreme in this world, the king of Golden City, is nothing more than a lowly villain who relies on many to score a victory.”
The decisive battle under the stone steps of the Misty City has lasted for a full half day. The fierceness of this moth-to-the-flame like battle has actually far exceeded the imagination of the people native to Golden City. The Golden City's twelve Pure Gold Guards have come out, and under the supreme throne. No matter how anyone looked at it, the master and the follower of Harmony River did not have even the slightest chance. However, after half a day of battle, the lumps of cloud over the Misty City seemed like fiercely burning, and nearly all of the twelve Pure Gold Guards were injured, the white stone steps broke in the middle, and the battlefield was extremely fierce. However, the two people were still standing.
Although his force had been spent, A Ye's vigorous fighting spirit did not extinguish. The spear in his hand had been badly battered, but it was still straightly aimed at the enemy.
”Although it is regrettable that I couldn't personally defeat the master of Golden City, from another point of view, I feel that this and other cowardly fights are beneath me! Not to mention that in this battle, the Golden City is directly pushed by the two of us into a defensive position and killed their soldiers under the throne, so its invincible prestige has already been lost. For me to be able to peel his face off, even if I die, it's worth it.”
Zhou Mumu said, ”In the past, everyone was afraid of this monster, but the truth has finally been revealed to the outside world. I wonder what would be the reaction of the other three forces?”
After the half a day of fierce battle, the two of them already had no more strength to continue. However, so far, even after all of that, they couldn't even see the face of the city master, so they were really unwilling. Thus, they put forward their final effort to taunt the enemy.
However, even after being insulted like that, the master of Golden City was still indifferent, still sitting above the clouds. Only the twelve Pure Gold Guards who regained their spirit surrounded the two once again.
And for these twelve opponents that he had been fighting against for a full half a day, A Ye had long felt annoyed. In particular, he thought that it was likely that he was going to die at the hands of these minions. Therefore, a wave of hostility uncontrollably arose in his heart.
Fine, I will use the killer move that I plan to use on Golden City master on you! He thought.
Thereupon, another blood mist bloomed. However, compared to the beginning, the power of the blood mark had become negligible. A Ye let out a sigh, and squeezed out the second blood mark, which barely managed to adjust his power to normal.
Although A Ye wasn't clear from where these overdrafted blood marks came from, he knew that this overdraft behavior had already come to an end. This miraculous raid had finally come to an end.
At the same time, aware of the crisis that was about to come, the Pure Gold Guards began to yell loudly and surround them. However, Zhou Mumu pushed out her palm and the primal chaos Diamond Ring flipped upside down. At the same time, the space within the area of five hundred meters in radius from it was abruptly cut off, and the outsiders could no longer close in.
But after completing this action, Zhou Mumu fell down silently. Her magical power was completely exhausted, and her primordial spirit was overdrawn. The secret medicine from Kunlun Mountain was already consumed in that half a day of fierce battle. Right now, even to maintain her existence was too difficult for her. Thereupon, she launched her life saving magical treasure, which would send her out of this world.
Before leaving, she cast A Ye one last glance. In her eyes, there was only endless encouragement.
”A Ye, don't let me down.”
Although A Ye didn't look back, he sensed the woman's gaze.
”Hah, what a joke, how can a handsome man like me disappoint a woman?... But, is it an illusion? Why do I seem to see Shaman? Sure enough… there's still something that I worry about?”
After wiping away the slightest sourness in the corner of his eyes, A Ye held the spear with both of his hands, roared, and then charged forward.

At the same time, in the Eternal Tree, Zhan Ziye finally solved the difficult problem that had plagued him for a long time.
”Mm, as long as the sequence of the five elements is changed, the entire array will be completely flawless… Hey, after half a day of deducing this 360-round chart, I successfully broke my own record. It seems like my primordial spirit has also become more concise, sure enough, heaven rewards the diligent…”
After gently wiping away the sweat from his forehead, Zhan Ziye finally had the time to raise his head, only to see the completely-drained-of-blood face of Shaman. Somehow, the woman had leaned against the wall and slept.
”...” No matter how slow he was, Zhan Ziye could also see the current weak state of Shaman. Alarmed, he quickly stepped forward and reached for the woman's forehead. He launched the internal view method and saw the once lush green jade mansion had turned haggard!
”What the hell is wrong with you?” Zhan Ziye was both angry and anxious at the same time. Hastily, he fished out his sect's secret medicine from his mustard seed bag and promptly put around five or six of them into Shaman's mouth. This secret medicine was the gift he got from his sect when he obtained his lead disciple status. It was priceless, and even exceeded the expected benefit from this immortal dream land.
However, at this time, Zhan Ziye refused to care too much about it. He simply couldn't helplessly watch Shaman die—he could not let his long-awaited plan fall apart!
After taking the elixir, Shaman finally woke up. Her face showed a hint of red, but the color was extremely unnatural. Zhan Ziye bitterly looked at it. It was clear that Shaman's injury was something fundamental that could not easily be recovered by ordinary panacea.
”Shaman… Although I don't know if you're poisoned, injured, or excessive training, but you should know what your physical condition means! You're not rude and impetuous like A Ye. You have always been sensible in doing things, so how could you make such a mistake?”
In this regard, Shaman just smiled softly. ”I am sorry.”
