道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

840

Despite having the support of the stone road that has partially merged with Ye Gui Feng's Dao Road Hua Luo raises a frown as he senses Ye Can and Dao Mo's approach.

He knew his limits well enough to say that he won't last even a minute should the two Half-Monarchs decide to join forces.

(You done with preparations?)

(I have.)

[*Sigh* looks like he intends to play along... Almost feel somewhat bad to do this.]

Raising a sigh Hua Luo looks to the shadow of Ye Can while muttering these words before beginning to back away and amidst his retreat he takes out a white slip of jade.

[...!]

[...!]

Although the radiance of gold and grey hadn't shown a hint of dying down in intensity Ye Can and Dao Mo still manages to catch a brief glimpse of what Hua Luo has retrieved from the voids.

[This is the last jade his majesty sought to bestow upon me. I really don't feel like wasting it on you two but...]

Shrugging his left shoulder Hua Luo crushes the white slip of jade.

[Nothing I can do about it I guess.]

*!!!!!* instantly a storm of Absolute Law energy that surpasses Ye Can and Dao Mo by far manifests to surround Hua Luo and as these waves of energy converges together they form the phantom figure of Li Jiu Tian for the second time!

[Didn't you want to see his majesty's Absolute Law up close? Consider it your lucky day then. Not only do you get to witness it but you also get to experience it with your own body.]

In the midst of saying these words Hua Luo closes the gap that separates him from Xuan Nuo's divine incarnation.

[Tch!]

[...]

Towards these words Dao Mo clicks his tongue whereas Ye Can's expression remains collected as if he had already expected Hua Luo to have a second jade slip at the ready.

[Compared to before...]

[...]

About 100 or so meters of distance separates them from the phantom.

This meager amount of distance can be covered in a single flash for practitioners of their level and this meant it was also a close enough distance for Ye Can and Dao Mo to feel the full brunt of the phantom's domineering pressure.

The previous phantom was nothing to scuff at but this one felt like it was on another level.

Merely standing in front of this phantom would cause a discomforting chill to overwhelm one's body and mind for even with their Half-Monarch level cultivation base Ye Can and Dao Mo aren't able to suppress the illusory feeling of being cut up by blades when faced with the phantom's pressure.

[...]

Under the circumstances a hint of regret wells up in Ye Can's heart. Perhaps he should have taken the chance to kill Hua Luo during that period of frozen time.

But as the overseer of the original Half-Monarch's legacy there was a need to see Hua Luo's method of transcendence to a partial degree.

(Whatever that portion of the stone road will return to me eventually. Being able to force him to expend a hand here would go a long way in the future despite the cost.)

A great deal of thoughts went through Ye Can's head in that instance as his body lurches to a halt and he begins to back away.

[...]

Detecting Ye Can's retreat Dao Mo is just about to do the same but-

[Well I suppose do your best to survive?]

Regardless of how fast they can retreat it was already too late as by the time Ye Can has begun to back away the timer has already expired.

And as a show for the inevitability that is bound to follow the phantom has already entered a proper drawing stance as it places one leg forward and another one back with their upper body leaning forth.

*...!!!!!!* the amount of time it takes for the phantom to enter drawing stance and to release a single slash is less than a second and following a transient flash of cold radiance-

*...!!!!!!* countless threads of domineering sword Qi erupts from Li Jiu Tian's blade!

*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* savagely the threads of sword Qi tears the fabrics of time and space apart as they approach Ye Can and Dao Mo in a frenzy!

From the viewpoint of Ye Can and Dao Mo they felt as if they had been reduced to mere mortals and all that they can do under the circumstances is to accept their inabilities to push back the incoming flood.

However-

[If you don't want to die then you should know what to do right?]

Realizing that destruction is inevitable without sacrifice Ye Can decisively waves his right hand and-

[...]

With a venomous glow in his eyes Dao Mo does the same.

*BOOM!!!* the wave of the two Half-Monarchs' hand causes a portion of their stone roads to break off from their main bodies and-

[Oh?]

Right as the threads of sword Qi is about to approach the disassembled portions of the stone road appears in front of Ye Can and Dao Mo causing Hua Luo to narrow his eyes.

This is definitely the only method that would guaranteed their survival but he wasn't expecting the two Half-Monarchs to come to a decision this quickly.

[Detonate!]

[Detonate!]

Simultaneously Ye Can and Dao Mo raises the same command with a hint of unwillingness in their eyes.

[Do it!]

Hearing Hua Luo's command the eyes of Xuan Nuo's divine incarnation shines and without the slightest bit of delays its detonation follows!
