Chapter 86.2 It’s Black! It’s Black! (2/2)

This bullsh*t Indestructible Solar Divine Cultivation Technique!

Wang Ke sprinted for his life while the Snake King was already close behind.

“Baaaam!”

A grayish ball of essence Qi was tossed toward the Snake King; the latter dodged but happened to catch a whiff of that familiar stench.

Even a tinge of that stench was too much. The sovereign could never forget that overwhelming odor.

This made the creature even angrier.

“You bast*rd! It was you! It’s all because of you! How dare you! Roar!” The Snake King roared as it went berserk.

“Oh no, my Rasengan is not working… The Snake King can dodge it!” Wang Ke muttered anxiously.

Just when the Snake King’s mouth was about to reach Wang Ke—

“Qing’er, you’re still unwell. Let me do it!” said Zhu Hongyi.

“Booom!”

A chain hit the Snake King; the impact made him flinch before he looked up at Zhu Hongyi.

Zhu Hongyi flew into the sky on his chain and cried out coldly, “Snake King, this is the Divine Dragon Island; not a place for you to run amok!”

If it were in the past, the Snake King would have still felt wary before Zhu Hongyi, but he was unwilling to stop now that he learned that Wang Ke was the one to blame for his broken core.

“I’m going to kill him. No one will stop me. Roar~~~~~~~~~!” the Snake King roared.

He then released poisonous gas all around him.

Zhu Hongyi waved his hand and shot ten chains toward the Snake King with a stern look.

“Booooom!”

Explosions were bursting one after the other outside Zhu Hongyi’s residence, sweeping up a thick cloud of dust.

“Hongyi, I recently stabbed your Astral Infant… Have you recovered? Be careful!” She Qingqing cried out anxiously.

She Qingqing endured her injury as she dashed into the dust cloud with her long sword.

“Boooom!”

Although the Snake King’s inner core was broken, he was in good condition. Conversely, She Qingqing and Zhu Hongyi had just recovered from a near-death experience; this had left both sides on a seemingly equal footing.

“My King!”

The snake generals finally caught up and rushed into the dust cloud to fight the injured Astral Infant Stage cultivators alongside their king.

“What are you looking at? Help them!” Wang Ke shouted at the demonic sect disciples crowding around the scene.

Still, many were hesitant to join the fight, considering the chaos unfolding before them; only a few of them went in to help Zhu Hongyi.

Wang Ke and Princess Youyue were safe for the moment, but he was unsure about the outcome of the battle.

“Wang Ke, what happened? Didn’t you go to get the Divine Dragon Token? Why did you draw the Snake King here?” asked the curious Sacred Child who had also showed up.

“I found the Divine Dragon Token, but the Snake King was unwilling to admit defeat. Damn it. How shameless of him, to come after me!” Wang Ke raged.

“What? You got it?” The Sacred Child gasped in surprise.

“Yes, I did. Why?” Wang Ke asked.

“Wang Ke, you are truly awesome!” the Sacred Child praised; he was overwhelmed by his amazement.

Wang Ke nodded and said, “That’s for sure!”

“Who is this in your arms…?” asked the child.

Princess Youyue was injured; a pallor had set on her face, but the Sacred Child’s question then made her blush. After all, everyone could see that she was in Wang Ke’s arms. She began to feel a little embarrassed as she was still being carried like that.

“Her?” Wang Ke replied without any hesitation, “ She’s my girlfriend!”

“Girlfriend?” The kid was a little confused.

Wang Ke rolled his eyes and said, “That’s what we call our partners in pursuing the Way! You’re just a kid; you wouldn’t understand!”

“Oh, oh… Your girlfriend seems injured… It looks serious. Do you need some medicine to heal her? I have some!” said the Sacred Child.

The princess coughed and said weakly, “I… Cough, cough. I’m okay!”

But then Wang Ke took out some medicine from his own pocket and said, “You don’t have to put up a strong front. The Sacred Child is not an outsider! Come now, take your medicine!”

The Child felt pleased by the way Wang Ke said that he wasn’t an outsider. He took out some medicine for the princess.

And while the three chatted—eight shadowy figures charged at them with sabers aimed at them.

“What?”

“Oh no, someone is trying to assassinate the Sacred Child!”

“Be careful!”

……………………

………………

……

Screams of surprise could be heard from afar.

Wang Ke then released eight flying swords from his sleeves just in the nick of time.

“Booooom!”

The eight flying swords clashed with the sabers and managed to counter them.

Wang Ke had acted out of instinct. He no longer cared about concealing his swords at the moment, and used them to block the incoming attacks. Still, it was a pity that all their opponents were at the Golden Core Stage; too powerful for their current selves. Wang Ke was unable to do much with his eight flying swords.

Suddenly, Wang Ke could only see the eight masked assassins jump on them; he could see the viciousness in their eyes.

“Freaking hell. I just came back. From where did the lot of you come all of a sudden? Explode!” Wang Ke roared in frustration.

The eight flying swords weren’t enough to withstand the attack… Might as well discard them!Let’s have them explode!

Booooooom!

The eight flying swords burst, causing powerful explosions which shattered the masked assassins’ sabers.

The surrounding demonic disciples rushed to the rescue, but the masked assassins were relentless. They switched to throwing punches after losing their sabers in the explosion, despite the incoming shrapnel caused by their now lost weapons.

“Booooom!”

Wang Ke was standing at the forefront, so he took the full brunt of the blow.

Eight Golden Core Stage cultivators! And all their punches landed on Wang Ke.

Wang Ke had accepted his duty to protect Princess Youyue. But, do you have to punch me that ruthlessly?The Sacred Child is standing right next to me. Why didn’t you punch him? Why focus just on me?

Wang Ke felt no pain from those attacks, but his face reflected something even worse than being in pain.

The turbid essence Qi in his body quickly absorbed the power from the eight punches.

Followed by a muffled ‘bam’ sound, a ripple of airflow radiated outward from Wang Ke.

“Innate Stage, Level Five?” Wang Ke felt despair.

Level Five of the Innate Stage! My turbid essence Qi is already black.

Wang Ke still remembered the words from the Indestructible Solar Divine Cultivation Technique.

‘Turbid Qi can absorb all kinds of power and change color. Gold color is the weakest state, while black is the most powerful! It becomes flammable when it reaches a super black color! You can use virtue merit to make it gold-colored again!’

It’s burning. It’s burning!

Wang Ke could sense the turbid essence Qi being set aflame. I’m going to be immolated! I’m going to be immolated!

“No~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!” Wang Ke screamed in despair.
