Chapter 770: Counter Measure

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The cloud and wind danced. A million-foot island was suspended in the void, cut off from the rest of the world.

This was also another world 1,000 times larger than the Cloud World, who knows how many layers of space pillars were within?

Beside a small lake, a Dragon and a man were facing off with one another.

In the lake was a snow-white Giant Dragon, its body was hidden in the water and couldn’t be seen. Only its head reached out of the lake, looking opposite with disdain.

On the other side of the chessboard was Wei Xu. He was still dressed in Confucian attire with a crown on his head.

However, at this moment, his clothes were torn apart and he looked viciously at the chessboard without any scholarly demeanour at all.

“I think it is better for you to admit defeat sooner!”

The silver-white Dragon seemed to have become impatient, shaking its head, “You have obviously already lost! In just seven steps, this game will end! Why do you continue to waste time?”

Wei Xu wasn’t fazed, looking down and focusing on each and every box to search for a chance to survive.

30 minutes later, the silver Giant Dragon finally went insane. More of its body stretched out of the lake, bringing with it numerous chains.

“Half a day has passed, how long are you going to delay? It isn’t like you have not lost before in the past, but now you keep dragging out, so unlike a man…”

“Tsk! What do you know? A man who doesn’t admit defeat, that is a true man!”

Wei Xu scoffed coldly and retracted his gaze unwillingly. Then, he looked across with a weird expression, “Speaking of which, this is weird. Aoyi, you still have the heart to play chess with me now?”

“Eh?”

The snow-white Giant Dragon was instantly stunned, its pupils were filled with confusion.

Wasn’t this fellow the one who forcefully made his way in to make her play chess with him?

Why was he saying such weird things now?

“You still don’t know?”

Wei Xu’s face was filled with confusion and then he understood, “Ah, that’s right! I forgot to tell you about this matter. Actually, Aokun has already run out from the seal.”

Before he finished, there was a flurry of chains clanging. The gaze opposite him was nearly about to rip him to shreds.

“When was this?”

Aoyi’s entire body rose out of the lake as she focused on Wei Xu with a cold expression. She couldn’t be bothered with the chess game anymore. Her eyes were filled with shock, rage and hatred as a tooth grinding smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, she really wanted to swallow Wei Xu!

“It happened roughly two years ago. The one who let him out was a second-generation disciple from my Common People’s Path…”

Wei Xu said impassively, also helping Common People’s Path take credit for it at the same time.

However, he could sense the darkness within the eyes of the dragon. If a gaze could kill, then his body would have been destroyed by now.

Hence he stopped, his tone changing to try to shift her attention.

“Oh right! I heard that fellow seems to be searching for Huayun and your sister? Have they started fighting now? There is also Dragon Shadow. That old man actually reached the End Realm one step ahead of me. He was obviously close to exhibiting the five stages of death, how unbelievable…”

Before he was able to finish, the entire island was shaking.

Those black chains were tearing and breaking apart, piece by piece!

The lake surged and bubbled and a giant wave rose up into the sky. Around it, those lake stones connected to the chains were all smashed apart, revealing the many golden pillars within. Beneath this lake was actually a giant Spiritual Formation.

However, at this moment, it couldn’t restrict this white Giant Dragon, so it was falling apart.

Aoyi broke free from the iron chains and then its body changed, turning into a girl.

Her jade-like face was drained of blood. Her eyes which were distinctly black and white stared viciously at Wei Xu.

“I will remember what happened today! Sooner or later, I will get back at you for this!”

She had no intention of staying any longer, directly leaving this world and stepping into the void.

When Wei Xu saw this, he felt extremely dejected, “Little Yi, Little Yi, do you care about that fellow so much? To think I spent so many thousands of years together with you so that you weren’t lonely. Do I have no chance at all?”

When he said this, a fist-sized pearl sped through the air from the void in the distance.

Wei Xu frowned, the space in front of him twisted and changed continuously.

The pearl still lightly smashed into his forehead.

At this moment, that crisp voice spread out from the distance, “Call me Senior! You are so rude! Didn’t you want this pearl? I will give it to you. As for Brother Ao breaking free, many thanks for that!”

Wei Xu broke out into a laugh as he grabbed the pearl in his hands and took a careful look. He then kept it in his sleeves as a weird glow flashed in his eyes.

This pearl was indeed unusual, close to a Heaven Opening Treasure. However, the one who controlled it had to be extremely powerful, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to touch it.

Also, half a step to the End Realm? This person’s cultivation hadn’t declined over the few thousand years of time…

He stepped beside the lake and reached his hand deep into the water which had calmed down.

When he took his hand out, his arm was shedding some skin and some places were burned.

He was the Great Sun Knife Saint, he cultivated the Great Sun True Technique, extremely similar to the Buddhist Dari Rulai.

It was tough for him to be hurt by heat in this world. However, this water did just that!

“As expected, is this Extreme Flame True Water?”

The skin on his arm was able to recover back to normal in an instant.

Wei Xu laughed helplessly and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

One had to trap oneself within the lake, suffering burns from the flame power in order to improve and obtain a chance to progress.

This woman’s heart was simply too terrifying! He wasn’t as good as her.

Following this, he smiled and looked at the chessboard. He casually waved his hand, taking out three chess pieces and adding two more on it.

Who said he lost? There was still a game to be played!

Victory or defeat was not decided yet!

※※※※

At the same time, in another world which was about to be destroyed.

Huayun was standing on the spot stunned, his Spiritual Sense spread about all around his body to search.

He was indeed uninjured, but he felt that something wasn’t right.

Especially when he saw that Aokun had been injured with just one strike, lungs and organs affected, his uneasiness began to rise up into his head.

Aokun’s fist was much weaker than he expected and only barely blocked his Dragon Spirit Sword.

However, he found this to be weird.

Logically speaking, his strike could only force Aokun back with light injuries. His plan with Longxuan was being weakened step by step and he was feeling despair.

Thinking about it, there was no way that the sword could have caused such a heavy injury!

It should be a secret ability, a Grand Path that even he didn’t know about.

He would need to be injured first to be able to activate it. There had to be something going on within.

His eyes turned sharp as he raised his head and stared at Aokun, “What did you do to me?”

Longxuan had anxiousness in her eyes, intent turning into threads which locked onto Aokun’s Spiritual Sense. Her body shifted as she tried to get closer and closer.

Aokun smiled and didn’t reply, the Seven Dragon Souls behind his back each exploded into a blood mist.

Then, he avoided the white ribbon and punched right at Huayun!

Huayun sucked in a deep breath and then rage rose up in his eyes.

Even if it wasn’t some amazing technique, what did he have to fear? Did he have to fear this homeless dog?

It was just some Demon Path Evil Technique or maybe some Soul Nightmare Technique.

He had seen too many of these methods over these few thousand years!

He really wanted to see what Aokun could do to him?

With a thought, his aura was suppressed. A few Spiritual Talismans flew out and ignited, allowing his mind to become clear.

He stabbed out with another sword, Cause and Effect inverted. A flame cloud wrapped around the sword and directly stabbed up.

The fist and sword clashed once more! This time, Aokun’s fist seemed really ordinary. But, it carried an extremely pure Destruction Law. It destroyed everything and was extremely domineering! There was nothing unusual about it.

However, in the next instant, just as he felt that he could force Aokun out, his expression changed suddenly.

Only to see that under the fist energy attack, his True Qi, the flame laws that he controlled had a weakness that shouldn’t have been there. The Destruction Fist Power charged in from there.

It was like a dam being broken due to an ant’s nest. The surrounding flames were extinguishing. The power within the sword was also dissipating.

The Destruction Power charged in like a hot knife through butter, striking his body and soul.

How was this possible?

This was obviously a weakness in his Grand Dao! How did such a weakness exist?

Huayun gave out a painful roar, in an instant, he destroyed his arm.

He finally stopped the Destruction Power from invading his body any further.

Aokun scoffed slightly. He wasn’t eager to chase, reaching out and holding the Dragon Spirit Sword in his hand.

The moment the Dragon Pellet which was connected to him in flesh and blood entered his hand, he instantly felt it and stabbed backwards!

Cause and Effect, invert!

A light sword forced Longxuan back and made her fly backward.

She looked toward the heavily injured Huayun in disbelief.

She was visibly confused. Huayun was just half a step from Late Saint Realm.

How could he be injured so easily in the hands of Aokun?

What methods did Aokun use?

At this moment, outside of the world, Qingxuan’s eyes shone brightly.

“Existence and Destruction? There was actually such a Grand Dao in the world? Aokun created it?”

“That’s right!”

Dragon Shadow didn’t dare to say that the person who created those two Grand Daos was actually Zong Shou.

Which was why Qingxuan thought that he wasn’t willing to explain.

“When I heard that, I was as shocked as you.”

“Ke! Aokun! Who knew he had such ability! It seems like both my disciples have lost!”

At this moment, Qingxuan was looking toward Aokun with a tinge of worry and fear.

“He really will have no opponent in this world after he grasps this technique! He is the only one in the world who can threaten us, End Realm people. Within the same grade, he is unrivaled and invincible…”

“That is not true! There is still one person who can counter him!”

Seeing Qingxuan look over curiously, Dragon Shadow smiled, “Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha!”
