Chapter 1833: Head-on battle, odds of winning high!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
The leather-armored woman on the opposite side was much more miserable than Song Shuhang was. Her strength had yet to recover, placing her in a weakened state. As a result, her leather armor was in tatters, and her body was littered with gashes. Even the giant sword in her hand had melted all the way until the hilt.
The leather-armored woman said solemnly, “You’re quite capable. You were actually able to block my sword.”
It was as if she hadn’t even used her full strength yet…
…Which was true. After all, she was in a weakened state at the moment.
Those who weren’t affected by the Expert’s Appraisal were truly monsters. They were simply abnormal.
So, what next?
Although Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword could still fight, it was only suitable for short, explosive battles. If a battle of attrition were to take place, the energy left by Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven would quickly be exhausted, and it would be the end of them.
Song Shuhang held his senior, and used three instances of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ in a row.
Pavilion Master Chu’s long hair would not be able to last long, either. Back when she had used her hair to s.n.a.t.c.h the Big Dipper away from the Celestials, Pavilion Master Chu had consumed a large amount of energy, and she had yet to recover from it.
As for Senior Turtle, its strength was sealed. Other than its Ninth Stage turtle sh.e.l.l and some spatial energy, it wouldn’t be able to do much.
The puppet maiden was still adapting to her new core, and she couldn’t help out, either.
The Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure was damaged, and could not fuse with the other set to form the All-Destroying Giant.
This was also not the Black Dragon World, where he had a lot of authority.
It seemed that his only option was to take a strategic retreat and try to find a way to rejoin with Senior White. Either that, or he could try summoning Senior White Two and see if the other party would lend him a hand.
[What the h.e.l.l do you want?] Senior White Two’s voice echoed in his head.
Senior White Two’s reply was too timely. Even the sentence “What the h.e.l.l do you want?” sounded beautiful to Song Shuhang’s ears.
Song Shuhang replied quickly, [Senior White, I’m being attacked again! Can you save me?]
[…] Senior White Two.
[Right, Senior White. It just so happens that I’m making an especially amazing immortal dish, and I think that you’d be very interested in it.] Song Shuhang threw out another temptation.
The things that Senior White found interesting were generally also things that Senior White Two would find interesting. The hobbies of the two Senior Whites were actually very consistent, and there was almost no difference in their personalities.
Sure enough, Senior White Two took the bait. [What is it?]
Song Shuhang replied, [Braised Heavenly Tribulation. It’s definitely a dish you didn’t expect, right? Moreover, I still have a whole menu on hand. On it, there’s not only the Braised Heavenly Tribulation, but also Stir-Fried Golden Core Minor Heavenly Tribulation, Fried Pill Tribulation, and Steamed Weapon Tribulation. It’s got a lot of good stuff.]
Senior White Two replied, [Die!]
Then, the connection was cut off.
I-Is he angry?
[Senior White? Senior White? Senior White Two?] Song Shuhang called out several times, and even shouted ‘Senior White Two’, but he didn’t get any response.
Did I say something wrong? Could it be because I mentioned the Braised Heavenly Tribulation? Does Senior White Two not like Braised Heavenly Tribulation?
But it seemed like Senior White was very interested when he heard about Braised Heavenly Tribulation…
Wait a moment!
Song Shuhang finally thought of a key point.
Senior White Two was the ruler of the Netherworld.
In Senior White Two’s eyes, the heavenly tribulation was abhorrent.
Song Shuhang rubbed his temples. It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to get Senior White Two’s help in the near future, as even he would hold a grudge at times.
Am I done for?
Song Shuhang raised his head, and looked at the leather-armored woman.
When he was talking with Senior White Two just now, she had not taken the opportunity to attack.
Actually, Song Shuhang had been secretly preparing to counterattack just now, but the other party never attacked him.
Could it be that she was seriously injured from the blow just now?
The leather-armored woman said solemnly, “What were you doing just now?”
Just now, she felt that there was a will that descended on Song Shuhang’s body. When faced with that will, she felt like she encountered a ‘natural enemy’, and instinctively wanted to go on defense… With that, she had unwittingly failed to take the opportunity to attack Song Shuhang.
Her keen intuition made her decide to stay right where she was.
Cheng Lin’s reincarnation was trickier than she thought.
“Hm?” Song Shuhang looked at the leather-armored woman, and immediately understood—it seemed she could sense Senior White Two’s aura.
Despite Senior White Two only talking to him remotely, she could sense it. No wonder she wasn’t affected by the Expert’s Appraisal.
[Heh, I see!] At this moment, Senior Turtle’s voice rang in Song Shuhang’s ears. All this time, it had been watching the broadcast in the Inner World.
Song Shuhang asked, [Senior Turtle, have you figured out her ident.i.ty?]
Knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy could bring one a hundred victories!
[Look at her collarbone, how beautiful,] Senior Turtle said solemnly. [When she turns her neck, you will be able to raise small fish in the deep pocket of her collarbone. I envy her collarbone very much.]
“…” Song Shuhang.
You’ve been watching for all that time, and that’s what all that you’ve found?
What use is that for me?!
Senior Turtle continued, [Heavens, I really want to have a collarbone like hers where I could raise small fish in.]
Song Shuhang remarked, “While her collarbone can support small fish, your turtle sh.e.l.l can support dolphins.”
“…” Senior Turtle.
The leather-armored woman laughed. “Hehehe.”
She couldn’t hear Senior Turtle’s voice, but she could hear Song Shuhang’s ranting.
“Tsk. It looks like we’re going to continue fighting… Shuhang, you sure know how to make people hate you,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Has Senior White’s clone still not dealt with those members of the Heavenly City? I thought that Senior White’s clone would come over after a short while. After all, the battle just now was huge.
Perhaps Who, Tree, and Ding Qingyun—who went over where Su Kongyun was transcending his tribulation to look for treasure—were also not to be trifled with?
[Don’t drag this on for any longer, little friend Shuhang. Just go.] While he was in thought, Elder Sister White Dragon’s voice rang in Song Shuhang’s ears.
After Sixteen came out of seclusion this time, Elder Sister White Dragon never showed up. Because of this, Song Shuhang had thought that she had left temporarily.
[Fight her head-on, trust me. She is currently in a horrible state,] Elder Sister White Dragon’s voice continued. [Moreover, I’ve acc.u.mulated a lot of energy lately.]
With Elder Sister White Dragon’s words, Song Shuhang brimmed with confidence.
He believed that his odds of winning were pretty high.
“Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, let’s go!” Song Shuhang grabbed Scarlet Heaven Sword tightly.
Behind them, 42 Holy Apes seemed to sense the stalwart state of their master, and opened their Scholarly Scriptures before beginning to chant loudly.
Song Shuhang took a step forward, and a black lotus blossomed under his feet.
As he took another step, he activated his smoke mode.
He pushed the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ to its limit while also extracting all of the energy in the seven small Spirit Lakes and the main Spirit Lake.
“Are we going to use the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique?” asked Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.
Song Shuhang said, “No, this time we’ll use another saber technique.”
He was planning on using the Karmic Saber Technique!
“Hey~ Shuhang. How’s the situation on your side? I unexpectedly found something good—an Ancient Heavenly City Fragment.. Wanna come and have a look?” Senior White’s clone transmitted his voice to Song Shuhang.
