Divine Brilliance - Chapter 645
Chapter 645: Short Clash
“King Path martial arts. So it’s a ruler of a country who personally came! Which ruler of the Cloud World are you?”
Along with the voice ringing out, a black shadow flew out from the giant tree trunk.
With one flap he was a thousand miles closer, chasing behind the Royal Demon Flying Shuttle, speed was actually even faster than it. In just a few breaths, he had already caught up.
“What disrespect for being unable to personally welcome a guest! Ruler doesn’t need to leave so hurriedly, why not stay and have a chat?”
A palm formed up, a sky full of energy gathered over, grabbing right at the Royal Demon God Shuttle!
Although it was unable to capture it, it made the Shuttle shake continuously. There were even numerous Red Star God Lightning bolts exploding and spreading about.
Zong Shou didn’t panic at all, directly abandoning the Spiritual Control Formation within the Shuttle and asking the women beside him to take over.
His body flashed to the tail of the shuttle to fight, laughing out in a straightforward manner, “I am a bad guest, and you are also not a good host. It is best if I don’t remain this time, you don’t have to send me away!”
His hands formed a seal, and instantly a pair of lightning wings spread out ten thousand feet. Flames blazed, dyeing the purple currents black.
In that moment, the red lightning glow from all around collided with the wings and tangled with one another.
For tens of breaths, they went toe-to-toe.
The black shadow exclaimed once more, “Sky Burning Flame? Lightning Phoenix Purple Lightning? How interesting, what do you have to do with the Lu Family?”
His speed had slowed down. Each time his wings flapped, he only covered one or two hundred miles.
Seeing Zong Shou totally calm and having no intention to reply, the black shadow laughed coldly, “Before you leave, why not take a blade from me…”
The space started breaking without any signs. The spiritual river collapsed, and the entire space layer returned to a chaotic and unorderly state.
Huge amounts of void energy and spiritual energy gathered together to form a long blade, slashing down from the sky!
Zong Shou’s pupils opened wide before his eyes narrowed.
It was said that the Cloud World martial path and spells merged many outer region alien race skills, and now it seemed that was true.
Be it the Red Star God Lightning that person used or the saber he slashed, there were many similarities with the martial arts of the Cloud World.
The blade shadow was already only a few feet away. However Zong Shou closed his eyes, his heart quieted down. He only thought about those few true dragon intents.
…Platinum Dragon, Green Wood Dragon, Lightning Dragon, Mysterious Yin Dragon, Blazing Flame Dragon, Instance Space Dragon…
Nine Dragon Shadow, stack!
One couldn’t be too arrogant and ask for too much. He also knew that the Nine True Dragon Sword focused on merging, in becoming one.
At this moment what he first needed to do was this merge word!
A soft and hard to hear ringing sounded out over a thousand miles. Zong Shou’s sword suddenly pulled out of its sheath.
The sword light turned into a dragon, gathering a ball of white energy as it struck into the void.
Six true dragon sword intents stacked together, and along with the King Path energy from the Avici Throne his sword attack instantly climbed to the extreme.
The sword shadow and the blade arc clashed, creating a huge explosion. The surrounding void exploded with them.
That giant blade instantly split into countless more, continuing in the direction of the Royal Demon God Shuttle.
However, Zong Shou had predicted that, and sword in his hand also split from one to two, two to four, continuing to double in number flitter-quick. In a short time, it became millions of sword shadows, slicing apart all the void blade glows.
As for the shuttle, its speed increased swiftly. It actually used the momentum from Zong Shou at the back to pick up speed.
When the shadow saw that, he stopped and gave up on chasing.
“What a good sword! I heard that in the current Cloud World, there is a ruler who is famous for his sword, regarded as the head of the Six Pinnacle Swords, the top sword user in the Cloud World for a thousand years! Are you that Gantian Mountain Ruler, Monster Sword Zong Shou?”
Zong Shou smiled, neither acknowledging nor denying. He wiped the blood off the corner of his lips, suddenly waving his sleeves. A silver light rose up and shot into the sky full of chaotic currents.
“My Cloud World has a saying, that it is not good to take a first and not give back. Since you treated me well, I have to compensate you. Why not take my blade?”
At the start, the black shadow didn’t feel anything. Only when Zong Shou’s words were finished did he feel that something wasn’t right.
Wariness rose in his heart as a lethal sense of danger filled his chest. But when he searched about using his spiritual sense, he couldn’t find anything.
He didn’t even think about it, numerous red lightning bolts blasted out into the sky. A fist punched out, a wall of energy spread out in all directions.
Only then did he find a trace with his spiritual sense.
“Flying knife?” The black shadow’s brow furrowed, only to see a silver light appear in front of him.
Like it was sentient, after being sensed it stopped hiding. Just like the sword from before, one became two, two became four…
An intent exploded out, like this knife had used all of Zong Shou’s power. The energy was sharp and domineering. In an instant the aura had exploded out to a level that shocked him.
“Just some small tricks, you dare to use them in front of me?” the black shadow scoffed after he was able to find traces of the blade in just a short while.
He directly flicked out, and as expected, the flying knife broke with a loud clang. The sky full of knife shadows also dissipated.
Just as he was shaking his head in disdain and considering whether or not to continue chasing, he realized that the danger his heart still lingered.
His eyebrows shuddered as he looked around once more, and suddenly hollered.
His black wings flapped and he retreated swiftly. He changed directions dozens of times, but that stabbing feeling in his mind was still there! It was also becoming more and more dangerous!
He struck out with another first, and using the energy he was finally able to grab a bit of the tracks of the blade.
It was a dim blade shadow, containing one yin and one yang true qi. The flying knife struck in a spinning manner, like there was no one in front of it, slicing right in front of him. It was only half an inch from his throat!
He felt his mind go blank, the scenes in front of him suddenly fell apart.
He hadn’t managed to hit the flying knife. The millions of knife shadows were all just an illusion. That was obviously a sword intent buff, an artifact connected to the spirit!
This knife must have been buffed with a special martial path technique. Who knows how long it was nourished for it to be one with the spirit, connected with the heart of a ruler. It was like a spirit master driving a flying sword, changing freely.
But the strength within was far from what a flying knife could compare to. It could be compared to a strike from a Spirit Realm Martial cultivator!
Above that, the combined spiritual energy and that King Path energy… that was spirit and martial arts merging into one!
It was also filled with an unreasonable dominance!
Frowning, a serious look flashed across his eyes. With a thought, his fist speed increased once more! The strength of the energy also climbed to another level.
That flying knife actually sank down, completing an exquisite change of direction and targeted his stomach instead.
One knife and one person continuously changed directions in the air, one chasing and one fleeing as they clashed.
In the end there was a “pu” sound as the black shadow finally stopped, frowning as he looked at his left arm, the flying blade diagonally stabbing into it.
Luckily he had gone all out to reduce the yin and yang spiritual energy within by half. If not, that blade would have smashed the flesh and blood in his left arm to pieces.
Instead, the energy went along his meridians and veins and attacked him, making him feel really uncomfortable.
Looking ahead, he found that the Flying Shuttle was nowhere to be seen. He spread out his spiritual sense and couldn’t find anything. It should have already returned to the Cloud World…
The black shadow was startled and then gave out a self-mocking laugh.
With middle Spirit realm power he was actually injured by a Heaven realm Cloud World cultivator. This time he had really embarrassed himself.
There was a weird ripple around him, and a person appeared in front of him.
He was wearing a gold shirt, his looks could even be considered handsome among humans.
Even if the Night Demon Race didn’t cultivate, their lifespan could be counted in the thousands of years, and they didn’t grow old. They would be as strong as during their teen years, there was no such thing as “old”.
However, this person gave one the feeling that he was really old.
His energy was retracted as he stood there. If not for one personally looking at him, he was pretty much nonexistent.
“That was Cloud World’s Gantian King, Monster Sword Zong Shou? Using Heaven realm strength to fight on par with you, Prince Jia Mingluo, and not lose… it seems like we can’t underestimate the Cloud World cultivators!”
Jia Mingluo shook his head. That was a world that several End Realm experts had come out from.
There were even people who were half a step into the Truth Questioning Realm. That Common People Path Xi Zi was famous in many worlds. Unfortunately, he fell early on…
Ten thousand years ago they had forced the Night Demon Race to retreat after suffering heavy losses. How could one underestimate such a world?
“That knife was so strong!” He was still focused on his left arm, and Jia Mingluo frowned. “However it shouldn’t have been able to hurt me…”
It really surprised him, that flying knife could probably kill anyone below Spirit Realm.
Spirit Realm and above, Night Demon cultivators who were the same Grade as he needed to avoid them.
However, he was the Night Demon imperial race, the top prince, with purest bloodline out of the twelve who could inherit the throne.
How could he be compared to those normal cultivators?
However, just now he really felt weird. How was he charmed by that knife image for no reason at all?
With his mental strength, all illusionary techniques under the Spirit Realm should have no effect on him. There was no reason it should charm him…
“It should be the Illusionary Heart Mirror! Don’t forget that this person is the Fox Race King!”
