Chapter 5703: Set Up

The warship had just descended, disappearing into the horizon.

However, the traces left above wouldn’t vanish, and Jian Wushuang wasn’t the least bit impatient.

Before long, a terrifying aura flew overhead.

It was that black-robed powerhouse.

A cultivator of the Three Tribulation realm.

Not a Universe Master, nor a member of the Yongheng Clan.

Perhaps he was a hired assassin of the Yongheng Clan. Such tasks required someone with a clean background.

Just as the black-robed elder caught up, Jian Wushuang followed suit.

The plan was just beginning.

Since Jian Wushuang was entering the game, he had to be patient.

He wouldn’t make a move until the crucial moment arrived.

The distance between the black-robed elder and the warship was getting shorter and shorter. Inside the warship, the two individuals also sensed something amiss, feeling a terrifying aura approaching.

But it was too late to evade!

Buzz!

A massive black pillar of Qi shot into the sky, piercing straight through the warship.

“Who is it!”

Both of them flew out simultaneously, looking disheveled.

When they saw the black-robed elder, their eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

A cultivator of the Three Tribulation realm.

Though not a Universe Master, just a Scattered Tribulation expert, they were not opponents that the two of them could handle.

After all, they were merely Emperors.

That Three Tribulation realm cultivator possessed 200,000-fold divine power.

“Senior, why attack us?” Sang Biao still didn’t want to give up at this moment, trying to buy time.

While also sending a message back to the family.

But seeking help now was akin to seeking death.

Both the family and the Yongheng Clan had abandoned them.

Discarded children could not survive!

“You just focus on dying peacefully!” The black-robed elder wasted no words, directly moving to kill.

200,000-fold divine powers erupted, directly attacking Sang Biao and Nikun.

“Let’s go!”

Nikun roared angrily, the power of Death on him surged again.

But facing a Three Tribulation realm expert, they had nowhere to run.

With a single grasp, the black-robed expert threw out a huge wave of energy, dazzling like the sun, directly engulfing the two.

This wave contained 200,000-fold divine power, something two Emperors couldn’t withstand.

“I refuse to accept this!” Nikun resisted frantically, but it was futile.

Sang Biao began to beg for mercy, revealing everything about Babidi.

The black-robed expert remained unmoved, exerting force again, intending to kill the two directly.

At a critical moment, a black mist suddenly rose.

Jian Wushuang, covered in black flames, attacked from behind, his aura transformed into the power of Death.

This Death power wasn’t pure; he extracted it from the power of All Things.

Covered by the power of the Starry Sky, it was indistinguishable to ordinary people.

This was to prepare to deceive Nikun and Sang Biao.

“I, on behalf of Lord Babidi, have come to rescue you two!” Jian Wushuang’s voice changed as he spoke.

With a casual wave, he tore open space and rescued the two from the midst of the energy waves.

The two, who had been in despair, dared not think too much after being rescued. They nodded frantically. When Jian Wushuang asked them where to go, they had no objections.

The black-robed expert frowned when he saw Jian Wushuang.

He was just a death warrior of the Yongheng Kingdom, and he might not know as much insider information as Sang Biao and others.

He couldn’t understand Jian Wushuang’s words at all.

“Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!” Nikun quickly thanked him after his breath recovered.

Especially when he heard that Jian Wushuang was acting on Lord Babidi’s orders, his heart was filled with even more gratitude.

“You two go and seek refuge with Lord Babidi. I will deal with this person!” Jian Wushuang’s expression was cold as he directly commanded the two.

Sang Biao and Nikun were first stunned, then turned and fled directly.

The black-robed expert wanted to intercept them, but Jian Wushuang stopped him.

“Why bother with these two little guys? Why not play with me instead?” Jian Wushuang flexed his wrist.

The black-robed strongman remained calm. He first communicated with the Yongheng Clan through voice transmission, then said, “You shouldn’t have interfered with me!”

“Haha, is that so?” Jian Wushuang smiled faintly, glanced down at the mortal cities below, and said, “Shall we go somewhere deserted?”

“No need!” The black-robed strongman clenched his fists fiercely. His aura surged again, and with a sweep of his arms, the surrounding billions of miles instantly turned to soot.

The next moment, he quietly made his move, heading straight for Jian Wushuang.

200,000-fold divine power erupted with full force, shaking the heavens and the earth.

“To kill, one must be prepared to pay the price!” Jian Wushuang poised himself. As the black-robed expert charged, the surrounding space was instantly shattered, and his figure disappeared from the original spot.

But the black-robed old man was very experienced.

In the instant he disappeared, he had already captured Jian Wushuang’s aura and arrived in advance at the location where Jian Wushuang would land, directly striking Jian Wushuang from behind.

The Eternal Treasure armor on his body shattered directly.

The treasures he carried were all Eternal Treasures.

Facing opponents at the Tribulation Realm, Eternal Treasures were simply inadequate.

Fortunately, Jian Wushuang was a super powerhouse purely reliant on strength.

After suffering a setback, he understood that if he wanted to drag the opponent along, he still needed to exert some force.

In this crucial battle, not only did he need to block the opponent, but he also needed to make enough noise.

To catch the attention of those from the Ancient Wood Sect.

Currently, those people should be in the Yongheng Kingdom.

As long as he erupted with a powerful enough aura, he could attract their attention.

Although the overall strength of the Yongheng Kingdom was formidable.

But the number of powerhouses was limited.

For example, a battle at the Four Tribulation realm level was enough to shake the entire Yongheng Kingdom.

Superpowerful individuals at the Five Tribulation realm level rarely made moves in the Ancient Wood Continent.

Usually, they would only act when exploring the Outer Domain.

Otherwise, the Ancient Wood Continent would have been shattered long ago.

These top powerhouses also had an understanding.

If they could avoid taking action in the Ancient Wood Continent, they would.

So generally, top powerhouses at the Five Tribulation realm level would not make moves in the Ancient Wood Continent.

There were already some lessons learned from past events.

The destruction caused by the power of Death served as a warning.

Destroying another continent would greatly burden the Ancient Wood Spacetime.

Jian Wushuang clenched his fists, a flicker at his brow, and roared angrily, “Ah ah ah!!!!”

His entire aura began to skyrocket.

Sang Biao and Nikun had already left, and he had nothing left to hide.

He directly unleashed the power of the Starry Sky.

Although he was a clone, his current combat power could approach the peak of the Three Tribulation realm.

And he also wielded the power of a Universe Master.

He was not someone these Scattered Tribulation realm weaklings could compare to.

The power unleashed by the Starry Sky caused a gust of wind, making the black-robed elder standing there feel a bit unsteady.

Staring at Jian Wushuang in astonishment, curiosity welled up in his heart. When did such a powerhouse appear in the Yongheng Kingdom? He had never heard of it before.
