Chapter 605 Old Acquaintance from the Northern Country (3k)
“Heh, you really are persistent,” a hand pressed against the wall, the figure’s body almost touching the slightly cold metal barrier. Their gaze swept across the surrounding crowd, and between two fingers, they held a blue ice blade.
It seemed they were trying to find a way to break out, but unfortunately, everywhere they looked, someone had completely blocked their path, clearly anticipating their movements.
“Lord Baichuan noticed your trace back in the Cherry Blossom Country. He expected that you would also not miss this sea black market when you transformed into human form to search for a certain item, so he had us use alchemy detectors early on to scan for the presence of monsters.” The scar-faced butler said with a smile, rubbing the slender sakura sword that had transformed from a beast pet. It seemed as though they would swarm forward at the slightest movement from the other party.
It was precisely because of this preemptive action that they also managed to capture an aged auspicious deer, which was also to be auctioned as an important item.
“If my power wasn’t sealed, let alone scum like you, even that cherry blossom devil Baichuan couldn’t withstand a single blow from me.” A purple glint flashed in the eyes of the figure hidden within the cloak. A crystal ice longbow appeared in their right hand, and their fingertips pressed against it, turning slightly pale. This time, they truly didn’t know how to escape. Although they still possessed demigod-level strength, due to numerous injuries, they could only unleash the power of a high-rank battle king. Facing these pursuers, they couldn’t escape at all.
The scar-faced butler was not afraid of the figure escaping. He beckoned to the surrounding people, and his body trembled, unleashing a murderous domain filled with blade energy that completely sealed off an area of ten zhang. Within that domain were countless tiny blade energies. If an ordinary battle king-level individual were to enter, they would surely be heavily injured. The figure focused their gaze, drew the bow, and nocked an arrow.
He knew that he could no longer escape. Not only was the demigod-level butler present, but there were also several battle king-level individuals. This was probably the second major tribulation he had encountered recently.
“I’ll fight with all I have! Heaven has not blocked all paths!” A dense, faint purple energy continuously surged from within the figure, forming a protective sac around them. When the battle king-level figures charged in, they were immediately repelled! However, after being repelled, those battle kings surged forward again, continuing to assault the energy shield. The energy shield formed by the faint purple frostmist external qi also rapidly began to fade.
“That’s the butler of the Hundred Rivers Battle God’s family. What’s going on?”
“Does someone have a conflict with the Hundred Rivers Battle God?”
“Those people are tough. Although the Hundred Rivers Battle God is at the War God Level, he is cold and ruthless.”
The residual power of the skills attracted the attention of many onlookers. They retreated from the scene with surprise and curiosity. The stall owners directly watched from a distance, not daring to make any other moves. Although those people did not dare to approach this area, the scar-faced butler did not intend to let go. He slightly raised his foot, paused, and sneered, “Baichuan handles his affairs. Idle people, disperse!”
“Dong!” Accompanied by a metallic sound, a huge surge of energy rushed outwards from his toes in waves. Many people’s hair were blown straight, and the expressions of those watching in the front row changed slightly, causing them to retreat several steps.
“Whoosh!” Just as the scar-faced chief manager was unleashing his power, the surrounded black-clothed figure released the bowstring in their hand, and a pale purple ice arrow shot directly towards his face. Its speed was exceptionally fast, and the sound of a sonic boom could faintly be heard meters away.
“You are heavily injured, and this arrow is less than thirty percent effective.” The scar-faced chief manager still had a faint smile on his face. His arm trembled, and the arrow froze not far from him. Immediately, a shadow of a blade flashed, and the arrow was instantly cut in half.
The moment the arrow was fired, the black figure stomped on the metal ground and, without holding back, rushed towards the sky, breaking through the encirclement and reaching the blue sky above.
“If I let you escape, how can I still be on the streets?” The scar-faced chief manager on the ground saw this and a cold smile appeared on his face. With a movement, he appeared behind the black-clothed figure in the blink of an eye. Blade intent coiled around the sakura sword, and then he fiercely swung it out!
“This is bad.” Sensing the astonishing blade intent surging from behind, the black figure instantly turned around, gripping the ice bow tightly. The pale purple frostmist external qi surged rapidly, and they fiercely struck back.
As the blade met the crystal ice longbow, an astonishing wave of energy spread outwards in a ring, causing waves to rise on the distant sea. Under the immense impact, the scar-faced chief manager retreated several steps in the void, while the black-clothed figure spurted a mouthful of blood mist. The hood of their head covering was blown open by the strong wind, revealing a pale, pretty face.
It was Lin, who had parted ways with Su Jiu in the Snow Demon Kingdom. After stabilizing herself, Lin wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked around at the several black shadows that had already surrounded her. A hint of bitterness appeared in her purple eyes. If she had agreed to that girl’s request back then, would she not be in such a miserable state now? But as always, she only hated herself for not being strong enough, not working hard enough, and did not regret her decision back then.
“Stop resisting. It’s not treating you badly to become my master’s beast pet. He is only fifty years old and is already a War God Level powerhouse, backed by the Kamidai Family, one of the eight great families of the Cherry Blossom Country.” The scar-faced chief manager stepped on the void, slowly walking towards Lin, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
Looking at the scar-faced chief manager walking slowly towards her, the coldness in Lin’s pale purple eyes gradually intensified, and a phantom wing appeared behind her.
“Do I have to burn my bloodline?” At this point, she could only desperatel
