Chapter 1058: Appearance
Black Sorcerer’s eight arms were each as sturdy as magical treasures. He furiously attacked the five cultivators from Yingyun City. The five of them had all gained extraordinary levels of cultivation and used treasures that were far from weak. However, Black Sorcerer working alone had managed to suppress all five of them.
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer were both well renowned. Before their engagement, the group from Yingyun City knew that their fates would be grim were they to encounter the two sorcerers. However, they had not anticipated that Black Sorcerer by himself, would wield such fearsome power. He could handle all five of them alone, and he was still firmly holding the advantage.
With a flash of black light, there was a black arm, covered in scales, that reached out from an unbelievably bizarre angle. It struck the chest of one of the Yingyun City cultivators. Terrifying power surged out and a loud rumble emanated from the inside of the Yingyun City cultivator’s body. Then, it was as though a mountain had exploded inside his body. Even a Tide Changing Realm cultivator could not withstand such frightening power. His body immediately exploded into pieces. Broken limbs and pieces of flesh splattered across the landscape for dozens of miles. Blood rained down across the sky.
“Despicable. I will kill you.”
The leading Yingyun City kamikaze warrior face was a rictus of rage. Immediately after they had come into contact with the enemy, he had lost one of his men. As Huai Clan kamikaze warriors, they had been training together since they were young. They had only each reached their respective positions after many rounds of elimination. They were brothers-in-arms.
A beam of crimson saber light shot out from the hand of the kamikaze warrior leader, flashing towards Black Sorcerer as swift as thunder. Just one strike was able to kill an intermediate level Tide Changing Realm cultivator. Even if a mountain was positioned in front of such an attack, it would be cleaved in two.
However, Black Sorcerer merely extended four of his arms and was able to block the crimson saber light. Black Sorcerer’s body was truly like a magical treasure. He was capable of blocking an attack from the leading kamikaze warrior’s spiritual treasure with just his arms.
“You do not know your limits!”
Black Sorcerer laughed sinisterly. An even brighter black light suddenly radiated out from his body. The pillar of black light swept out. It seemed as though it would pierce the heavens.
“Black Demonic Forbidden Light.”
The Yingyun City kamikaze warriors exclaimed in disbelief at the same time. They all had simultaneous looks of terror in their eyes and seemed to be immensely wary of the pillar of black light.
Once the Black Demonic Forbidden Light had been manifested, it crashed directly towards the leading kamikaze warrior.
The leading kamikaze warrior was up against a powerful adversary. He did not dare to go up against the black light head-on. With a flash, his silhouette shifted as he prepared to retreat backward. However, Black Sorcerer would not let him escape. His eight arms burst out at the same time. They were like pillars that held up the heavens. They kept extending and grew even larger. They seemed to be able to envelop the whole world within them.
The eight arms all attacked at once, reaching up to the leading kamikaze warrior in an instant. In a furious rush, they grabbed at him reaching for varying points of his body. The surrounding spaces were saturated with the power that emanated from the eight arms.
“Not good!”
“Damn it!”
When the Yingyun City kamikaze warriors saw Black Sorcerer about to go all out to deal with their captain, all of their expressions changed drastically. They knew that their captain was far from a match for a demon like Black Sorcerer in a one-on-one fight. He most likely would not be able to withstand more than a few blows.
Almost as though they had coordinated it, the remaining three Yingyun City kamikaze warriors attacked near-simultaneously, with all their might. They unleashed their most powerful attacks on Black Sorcerer. They were ready to help their captain out of his predicament.
“A few worms are hoping to disrupt me when I am about to kill someone.”
Black Sorcerer laughed maliciously. Crimson runes suddenly flashed throughout his eyes. The eldritch crimson runes were bizarre and evil to behold. Crimson light shone from his pupils.
The next moment, the crimson runes flew out and merged with the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag in the sky above.
There was a loud rumble and three bolts of blood thunder descended from the heavens. They struck powerfully at the three Yingyun City kamikaze warriors.
The expressions of the three Yingyun City kamikaze warriors reflected what they were all thinking. They clearly could not withstand the Crimson Demon Blood Thunder. Only right then, did they recall that they were within the range of the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag.
The Crimson Blood Demonic Flag was beyond frightening. It was an infamous earth spiritual treasure. Even if Black Sorcerer could not control it fully, the power it released was not something that they could withstand.
The three bolts of Crimson Demon Blood Thunder sent the three members of Yingyun City flying outwards. Blood splattered everywhere and they were all severely injured. Although they had not yet died, they were all now unable to do battle. The Crimson Demon Blood Thunder had directly shattered one of their spiritual treasures, albeit one that was of slightly lower quality. It. was a demonstration of how the power of the Crimson Demon Blood Thunder was truly frightening.
Black Sorcerer ignored the three dying Yingyun City kamikaze warriors and focused on dealing with their leader. The leading kamikaze warrior was a higher level Tide Changing Realm cultivator. Among all of them, he was the most difficult to defeat. Of course, for Black Sorcerer, dealing with him was only a matter of time.
Eight arms attacked together with the Black Demonic Forbidden Light. In the space of a few breaths, they had pushed the leading kamikaze warrior almost to the brink of despair.
On the other side, the Huai Clan’s second young mistress was instead the one who had managed to last the longest. It was because she was in possession of the Sishui Spirit Imprint, the most important treasure of Yingyun City. The Sishui Spirit Imprint also contained a portion of her elder sister’s power. At critical moments, she was able to tap on that power to fend off the Purple Sorcerer. In this way, she had managed to escape from Purple Sorcerer’s attacks multiple times.
“Humph, Huai Clan’s First Young Mistress must take quite good care of her little sister. Surprising that she did not hesitate to expend her own Vital Qi to inject some power into your Sishui Spirit Imprint. However, Huai Clan First Young Mistress’ power will be exhausted sooner or later. Let’s see what you will do when that happens.”
Purple Sorcerer laughed maniacally. His dark purple eyes stared at the Sishui Spirit Imprint in the hands of the Huai Clan’s second young mistress. His eyes were filled with greed. Even the lord mayor did not have more than three earth spiritual treasures. Moreover, the Sishui Spirit Imprint was no ordinary earth spiritual treasure.
The Huai Clan’s second young mistress pursed her lips, as she once again unleashed the Sishui Spirit Imprint and sent an attack smashing towards Purple Sorcerer. The shape of the Sishui Spirit Imprint was very similar to that of a jade seal. Of course, it was not a jade seal but an earth spiritual treasure. It had water spirit markings engraved on it and could activate the power of water anywhere in the world. However, unleashing such a spirit imprint in the ocean had made its might several times more powerful.
The Sishui Spirit Imprint sparkled with spiritual light before becoming a huge imprint the size of a small mountain. The power of all the Water Vital Qi within a thousand-mile radius was activated and sent swiftly towards Purple Sorcerer.
Even Purple Sorcerer did not dare to take such an attack head-on. He could only keep dodging by using his agility to avoid such a terrifying power crashing in pursuit of him. After a few of these exchanges, he appeared rather pathetic.
It was not that Purple Sorcerer was weaker than Black Sorcerer. On the contrary, between the two of them, Purple Sorcerer’s abilities were much stronger than Black Sorcerer’s. action
However, not only was the Sishui Spirit Imprint an earth spiritual treasure that was renowned for its attack power, but it also contained the power of the Huai Clan’s first young mistress inside of it. She was a cultivator of great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm. Not to mention, she was also the current mayor of Yingyun City. Even if Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer joined forces, they would be no match for her. Although there was not much of her power held within the Sishui Spirit Imprint, it posed a large enough threat to Purple Sorcerer.
The leading kamikaze warrior did not have such a powerful treasure like the Sishui Spirit Imprint. Within just five exchanges of blows, he was sent flying by the Black Sorcerer, severely injured. He dropped into the ocean, just barely clinging on to life.
“Humph, your flesh and souls will be good fodder for the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag.”
Black Sorcerer gave the Yingyun City kamikaze warriors a calculating glance, then he made a few ritualistic gestures. The Crimson Blood Demonic Flag that enveloped the space immediately emitted a few beams of crimson light that surrounded the Yingyun City kamikaze warriors. It seemed to be poised to slowly devour the Yingyun City cultivators.
After settling the kamikaze warriors, the gaze of Black Sorcerer now turned to the Huai Clan’s second young mistress. He chuckled malevolently and taunted, “Huai Clan Second Young Mistress, you should just surrender. Continuing to resist is futile.”
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer did not want to dally any longer. With a flash of black light, Black Sorcerer also joined the fight. With Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer joining forces, the pressure on the Huai Clan’s second young mistress immediately multiplied. Her situation was growing increasingly tenuous.
“Hehe, second young mistress, the power of the first young mistress should almost be exhausted. It is impossible for a mere beginning stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator like yourself to escape from our hands. You had better just surrender. If I end up injuring you by accident, you will not like it,” Purple Sorcerer laughed coldly.
“Second young mistress, you are truly foolish. The first young mistress paid such a high price to send you out from Yunhong City. She even gave you the Sishui Spirit Imprint. She must have hoped that you would escape from the Ruyun Territorial Waters and have a chance to live. However, you were so unimaginably foolish as to return on your own. When we have captured you, we will use you as leverage against your elder sister. I wonder what expression the Huai Clan’s first young mistress will have then.”
Black Sorcerer laughed in hideous approval. This second young mistress was the first young mistress’s blood sister. With the Huai Clan’s second young mistress as their hostage, taking down Yingyun City would most likely be much easier. They could cut down the losses of their men and pay a much lower price for victory. They could potentially even force the Huai Clan’s first young mistress to agree to the lord mayor’s terms. They could settle everything once and for all.
“Dream on. Even if I die, I will not be captured by the both of you,” the Huai Clan second young mistress said dispassionately.
She would either die here or successfully escape back to Yingyun City. Capture by the enemy was not an option she would permit. She knew there was less and less left of the power that had been sealed in the Sishui Spirit Imprint by her elder sister. The Huai Clan’s second young mistress was prepared to commit suicide at the very last moment.
“Humph, you are truly a foolish woman. If you just obey, you will not have to die. Even your elder sister might get to live. Why should you needlessly try to kill yourself?”
Purple Sorcerer frowned. He was truly worried that the second young mistress would kill herself.
“Did you think that everyone enjoys being a slave to others, like the two of you old mongrels are?” The Huai Clan’s second young mistress said with a cold smile.
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer had offended many people in the Ruyun Territorial Waters because they had been too bloodthirsty. When they were later being pursued and had no other choices, they had sought out the mayor of Muhong City to seek protection from their master.
“You must truly want to die!”
Both Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer wore visibly changed expressions. The Huai Clan’s second young mistress had struck a nerve.
“You two mongrels are quite capable to have held me back for some time.”
Suddenly, a silhouette unexpectedly entered into the sealed space. In the next moment, a beam of blinding golden light suddenly lit up the sky. The golden light was like the dawn’s first rays of the sun. It grew brighter and more blinding. Until all at once, there was an enormous noise that sounded as though something had been shattered. The dark and crimson look of the entire space gradually dissipated. Sunlight flooded into the space and the ocean waters returned to their deep blue, no longer the dark grey it had been before. The silhouette that emitted golden light gradually appeared before them like a sun, constantly releasing light and heat.
“How is this possible?”
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer raised their heads in disbelief. They looked at the shining golden figure before them. Someone had forcefully shattered the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag from the outside. He had used pure brute strength to shatter it completely. It was absolutely unbelievable. It was impossible for even a cultivator with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm to be able to do something of that magnitude. Even a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator would require some time to shatter the space formed by the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag.
