Chapter 398: Agonies of the ROC Clan
In pursuit and in escape, one man, one tower, and one dragon circled the sky above the endless sea, exchanging blows, fleeing, continually.
Essentially, it was Li Mu versus the dragon – repeatedly facing off against each other.
When the Golden Dragon rushed over, Li Mu turned around and ran.
Or, when the Golden Dragon rushed to the front to fight with Li Mu, the Demon Tower paG.o.da gave chase to Li Mu, who then turned around to flee.
Each time, only two or three moves were made before Li Mu tore himself away from the fight to escape.
Relying on his Land Shrinking Skill, Li Mu could swiftly and easily travel many thousands of miles away in an instant.
Escaping was clearly the easiest option for Li Mu.
While escaping, Li Mu familiarized himself with the rules of control.
Concurrently, he compressed the emperor-level sword essence into the jade slip. His tactic was to quickly released it every time they exchanged blows.
Doing so was the key in getting a head-start and delaying the Demon Tower and Old Dragon in their tracks of pursuit each time.
“Not enough!”
With his divine sense, Li Mu swiftly carved instructions on the jade slip, these runes would be instrumental in many a difference, by enhancing the power he will wield.
After studying runes for so many years in the demon-slaying grounds, the power of the compressed and magnified sword essence on the jade slip gave even more power to Li Mu.
It was almost like he had carved out a small world in the jade slip.
At the critical moment, the sword essence and this small world exploded at the same time.
Its power was quite strong and destroyed their immediate surroundings.
Whoosh
“It’s that old dragon again. He’s courting death!”
Li Mu threw out more than ten jade slips in his hand. At the same time, several sword essences slashed out. He then disappeared out of sight.
Rumble
The powerful sword essence was delivered in a zapping electric bolt. Upon striking the Golden Dragon, it enveloped it entirely.
With the Golden Dragon trapped in the center, the sea beneath him was split into two halves.
The huge sea waves surged out from the center of the sword essence.
“Awoo!”
Then, a dragon’s roar was released into the sky.
After the sword essence disappeared, the Golden Dragon, which was covered in blood, emerged from the purple lightning.
“How is he so powerful?”
Six scales on the Golden Dragon’s armor fell off.
The Golden Dragon could not understand how a human who had just entered the emperor level could be so powerful.
He could not chase anymore.
He could not catch up.
Even if he was very powerful, he could not win.
If he continued to chase, he would lose his life for no reason.
Rumble
The tribulation clouds in the sky surrounded Li Mu and the Golden Dragon.
Swoosh
Immediately after, a sword light flashed.
The tribulation clouds were cut open and faded from the sky.
The tribulation clouds could not rise again within a million miles of the battle between a man and a tower.
All the rules of the Heavenly Way were cut down by Li Mu’s sword light.
Not only the Demon Tower’s essence but also the Heavenly Way’s essence. How could such a powerful human appear?
The Sword essence that he had just encountered was many folds more powerful than an ordinary emperor-level.
The Golden Dragon escaped from the Purple Lighting Cloud and looked at the sword light flas.h.i.+ng in the distance. It hesitated for a long time.
It turned around and headed back to the territory of the Dragon Clan.
It could not afford to waste time.
The Dragon Clan could not afford to waste time.
“Fortunately, that man has caught the attention of the Heavenly Pathfinders. I can put this aside and get on with my life now.
On the sea.
Li Mu was forging ahead in escape.
The Demon Tower was hot in pursuit. The tribulation clouds above his head gathered steadily.
Just as the tribulation clouds descended, a sword radiance slashed over.
The tribulation clouds were scattered.
“Sigh, I have no idea where I am. I don’t even know what time it is. Why am I still being hunted? The Dragon Clan, the Demon Tower, and the heavens. d.a.m.n it!”
Did anyone know in what state the Heavenly Sect was, after leaving the demon-slaying land?
The demon-slaying land formed its own world. After entering the void, time flowed on its own. It was different from the outside world.
Li Mu had no idea how Wei Yang, Liu An, and the others were doing?
He was anxious and worried.
He wanted to return to the mainland as soon as possible.
The more he yearned to return to the mainland, the more they saw the vast sea in front of him.
“Eh? Where did that Old Dragon go? Did he lose his way?”
While escaping, Li Mu realized that the only thing chasing after him was the Demon Tower.
After running for a long time, he confirmed that the old dragon had left.
“He left just like that. His abilities are not a big deal after all.”
As he spoke, the Demon Tower rushed over again.
Li Mu slashed out his sword.
He then proceeded to transfigure a thousand miles away.
“The Demon Tower is too powerful. I ran so fast, yet it was able to catch up! Who created this divine object? After my cultivation has improved again, I must make something like this. No, I must first make a demon-slaying ground to lock this thing up and then slowly study it.”
After becoming an emperor-level expert, Li Mu suddenly discovered many runes that he did not understand and instantly saw the light.
After all, his primordial spirit had crossed that door and come into contact with the Heavenly Way’s rules. There was no turning back.
Many runes were clear now. Even the underlying messages between the composition of the runes were light as day.
Many runes in the demon-slaying land that was previously undecipherable, were now not difficult to understand.
One man, one tower, and the Heavenly Way were in darting endlessly across the vast sea.
Where the three sides fought, the entire sea became shrouded in a grey cloud.
On the continent, all the semi-G.o.d realm warriors were staring at the horizon.
“There’s more than one emperor-level warrior fighting.”
“It’s three emperor-level warriors and the Heavenly way. Unfortunately, the fight is so intense that the clouds are scattered.”
“It seems to be the position of the Dragon Clan.”
“One of them is the emperor-level of the Dragon Clan. I wonder who was at the center of the fight.
The ROC Clan.
The golden-winged ROC and the Dark Lightning ROC king headed towards the endless sea.
“I hope that old dragon is finished in this battle.”
“It seems like the battle is very intense.”
“I’m just worried that that old thing isn’t seriously injured. He knows that he doesn’t have much time left to come to our ROC Clan to cause trouble!”
The ROC Clan was very concerned about this matter.
The Dragon Clan’s emperor-level expert had awakened and even partic.i.p.ated in the emperor-level battle.
What exactly happened?
And who were the remaining two emperor-level experts?
The most worrying thing was that after the Dragon was injured, he would attack their ROC clan and perish together with their ROC ancestors.
“If the emperor-level expert who fought with the Dragon Clan is on good terms with our ROC race, we can let out a sigh of relief.”
The Dark Lightning Roc King said.
As he spoke, his huge wings trembled and streaked across the sky.
Then, the golden-winged ROC followed.
“Eh? The force of the Dragon Clan has disappeared?”
As he neared the sea, the Dark Lightning Roc King’s heart skipped a beat.
Was that Old Dragon dead or had he escaped?
Dead, impossible!
The death of an emperor-level expert was earth-shattering.
That meant he had escaped.
“Is he injured?”
“I’m not sure!”
“Who is the opponent that successfully injured him?”
“I’m very worried that this Old Dragon will go crazy and attack our ROC Clan after he is injured.”
The two ROC Kings were silent.
What exactly happened?
How could there be an emperor-level expert fighting?
There were only a few emperor-level experts in the world.
One of them was from the ROC Clan, two were from the Dragon Clan, and three were from the Phoenix Clan.
It couldn’t be from the Phoenix Clan, right?
“HMM? It seems to be the aura of the Human Clan”
The Dark Lightning Roc King’s expression changed.
“That sword essence, it’s a human sword cultivator!”
The soaring sword essence could be detected all-around its surroundings.
As a result, the two ROC Kings could sense that the area was empty.
If it wasn’t for the leaked sword essence, they wouldn’t have believed it.
When did the Human Clan have an emperor-level expert?
They were stunned into submission.
Then, the two ROC Kings suddenly realized.
They had missed the best opportunity to suppress the Human Clan.
Now that the Human Clan had an emperor-level expert, how could they make a move in the future?
They could only watch as the human race grew stronger.
What was important was not that the Human Clan had an emperor-level expert, but that an emperor-level expert was not defeated by the heavenly tribulation clouds and easily scattered them.
What kind of strength was this?
“So, the Dragon Clan’s emperor-level expert is chasing after the Human. At the same time, there’s another emperor-level expert chasing after him as well.
The Dragon Clan’s emperor-level expert has withdrawn. He’s too strong. This isn’t a fight between ordinary emperor-level experts at all.”
From afar, the two ROC kings stood in silence, as tension grew heavier by the moment in the air.
