Chapter 713: Three Against One! Who’s Victory?!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“This voice…” Hao Ren was surprised when he saw a strong figure appearing in the middle of the platform.
Su Han waved lightly to retrieve her longsword.
“Three peak Qian-level!” Qiu Niu sounded a bit surprised.
If his realm had not dropped, he wouldn’t care if there were 100 peak Qian-level cultivators. However, he was at the lowest point in his realm, and his nature essence wasn’t flowing smoothly. That was why he came to the Nine Dragon Palace in the first place.
“How dare you come to the Nine Dragon Palace without telling me!” A white sword energy went flying toward the center of Hao Ren’s eyes.
Hao Ren hurried to use his hands to block it. Then, he absorbed that energy immediately.
The third cultivator who appeared was Zhao Kuo!
Normally, he wouldn’t appear in the Nine Dragon Palace. However, when he heard that Hao Ren was in the Nine Dragon Palace from Zhao Yanzi, he was worried that Hao Ren would die here. That was why he immediately forced the other three ocean dragon clans to work with East Ocean and reveal the location of the Nine Dragon Palace. Then, he used his full power to open a hole in the array formation of the Nine Dragon Palace so that he could venture in by himself.
Since he entered the proper way, he was very close to the Origin Dragon Grand Palace and saw Hao Ren and Su Han’s footprints on the mud nearby. That was why he came chasing after them up this structure.
In reality, he was only behind Su Han and Hao Ren a little bit. However, the tower was surrounded by thick mist, so they weren’t able to see each other.
When Zhao Kuo was close to the top, he suddenly saw a longsword falling. He immediately understood that a battle was happening on the top, so he threw out a metal ball to knock the longsword back up. He also rushed up as well.
Now that he saw Hao Ren was safe and sound, he was relieved but also furious.
Hao Ren was the Fuma and the Commanding General of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
If the East Ocean Dragon Clan lost the commanding general, it would be still ok to some extent. However, if Zhao Yanzi lost Hao Ren, then she would become a widow!
When Zhao Kuo thought about how Hao Ren risked his life to come to the Nine Dragon Palace with Su Han while Zhao Yanzi waited at East Ocean anxiously, he became so angry that he almost hit Hao Ren.
“Your life doesn’t really matter, but Zi’s happiness is of essential importance!” he thought.
If they didn’t have to fight a powerful enemy, he could cut Hao Ren in half with his sword!
However, those were just his thoughts. Even if it weren’t for Zhao Yanzi, he would still have come to save Hao Ren. After all, Hao Ren saved and helped him several times, so he had to repay him!
If he didn’t owe Hao Ren so much, he would have let such a troublemaking Fuma die. In his mind, it would be better off since Zi could still find another husband! Also, Zhao Kuo didn’t think that Zhao Yanzi’s problem of missing the dragon core couldn’t be solved in other ways.
When Hao Ren saw the changing expressions on Zhao Kuo’s dark face, he didn’t know what the latter was thinking.
However, Hao Ren coming to the Nine Dragon Palace was dangerous and was not doing Zhao Yanzi right.
“If you want to fight with me, we’d have to get rid of him first,” Su Han said with no expressions as she pointed her longsword at Qiu Niu.
“I’ll settle this with you after!” Zhao Kuo clenched his teeth and said to Hao Ren angrily. Then, he stared at Su Han furiously.
From his perspective, Hao Ren wouldn’t have come to the Nine Dragon Palace, a forbidden place for dragon cultivators, if it weren’t for Su Han.
“Hao Ren is Zhao Yanzi’s fiancé, but Su Han keeps seducing Hao Ren! Such bad intentions!” Zhao Kuo thought.
Also, Su Han was a level 4 inspector and oversaw the affairs in the East Ocean City. In a way, Su Han monitoring the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and Zhao Kuo didn’t like that. That was why he didn’t like Su Han either!
Whoosh! Dragon claws were striking toward their direction.
Black waves were vibrating around the claws.
Su Han held up her longsword, and a layer of white mist appeared within a 1,000-meter radius all of a sudden.
Even Zhao Kuo felt the chill to his bones, and he shivered.
Whoosh! Hao Ren sent out all 40,960 sword energies. Since he was using Zhao Haoran’s strength, he couldn’t maintain that many sword energies for an extended period. He needed to finish the battle quickly.
Bam!
Around Zhao Kuo, the same 40,960 sword energies appeared.
Hao Ren realized that Zhao Kuo was also at peak Qian-level; he seemed to have advanced quite a lot in just two days!
More than 80,000 sword energies and Su Han’s long sword which shone a green light were charging toward Qiu Niu.
If Qiu Niu had recovered his realm, he could have destroyed these three in thousands of ways. However, he only had less than 10% of his original power and couldn’t use most of his techniques, making him only able to use black energy waves and his claws!
Lady Zhen had chosen a good date for Su Han because she knew it was when Qiu Niu was weakest! Qiu Niu had never expected Su Han, Hao Ren, and Zhao Kuo to be able to reach this place!
He couldn’t use any of his dharma treasures and techniques! He was at the point where he had just started cultivating!
Bam! Qiu Niu clawed forward, and that directly knocked away the more than 80,000 sword energies and Su Han’s longsword.
Qiu Niu was indeed powerful as he was at his weakest but still able to defeat three peak Qian-level cultivators!
Zhao Kuo originally did not intend to make Qiu Niu his enemy. Now that he was with Hao Ren, he could only fight!
Sword array formation!
Hao Ren’s sword array formation surrounded all corners of the platform.
Zhao Kuo condensed his sword energies and suddenly pulled out the Black Dragon Spike. Then, the 40,960 sword energies concentrated onto the Black Dragon Spike, making it dark yet shiny.
Su Han used her technique, and snow fell in the area. She was already very proficient with her technique. Now that she was at peak Qian-level, she was not a force to be reckoned with!
“Hahaha… Will I, Qiu Niu, lose to you three little cultivators? Lady Zhen! This little demon sure has great strategies!”
Qiu Niu was floating on top of the platform, and the aura he let out was still very strong!
Suddenly, Hao Ren, Su Han, and Zhao Kuo thought that they were hallucinating as heavenly music sounded.
“Attack!”
Hao Ren thought that he had heard this music somewhere before, so he shouted out loud.
Su Han and Zhao Kuo who were getting lost in the music suddenly woken up at Hao Ren’s shout, and they started attacking.
“What? You can get out of my Seven Killing Array?” Qiu Niu was surprised.
More than 40,000 sword energies came out of the Black Dragon Spike. The attack was like colorful and magical nails piercing into Qiu Niu’s neck.
Su Han’s longsword let out cold and sharp icicles that acted like sharp swords, and she pierced it into Qiu Niu’s dragon scales.
They both did not hold back!
Sweat was dripping from Hao Ren’s body because he was controlling a grand sword array. The sword energies closed in all directions, and they flashed. The buzzing noises indicated how strong and powerful the array was!
Whoosh! The golden shield which had been lying by Hao Ren’s feet suddenly bounced up.
It was pretending to be dead all along to see who was winning. It had suddenly ‘resurrected’.
Qiu Niu’s blood was very beneficial to the dharma treasure. The golden shield turned and tossed, and thousands of smaller shields appeared, all aiming at Qiu Niu.
“Shield! Don’t take his life!” Hao Ren rushed to shout out.
The golden shield shone while sucking up the ashes of the spiritual herbs. Then, it devoured some of Qiu Niu’s blood that was on the ground and attacked Qiu Niu’s stomach.
The golden shield was very petty. It was like a small animal and held grudges. Since Qiu Niu hit it, it wanted revenge.
“You want to die, don’t you!”
Qiu Niu blasted out a dragon breath. Its arms expanded quickly and attacked the golden shield.
Not only was Qiu Niu the ancestor of the dragons, but he was also the grandmaster at making treasures. The Hundun Heavenly Fire that he had could dissolve the golden shield easily!
However, the golden shield had no intention of fighting; it flew away with its fastest speed. Like always, it ran as soon as it took advantage of someone!
Defending Hao Ren was probably the riskiest thing it had ever done!
Bam!
Hao Ren’s sword energies suddenly started moving.
Zhao Kuo’s Black Dragon Spike and Su Han’s longsword cut through Qiu Niu’s dragon head and dragon tail simultaneously. Even if Qiu Niu weren’t killed, he was severely injured.
Qiu Niu fell from the sky and instantly crushed the black palace.
Ding, ding, ding, ding… The black palace started to crumble, and ten of colorful treasures began appearing.
Donghunag Bell, Xuanyang Sword, Pangu Axe, Lianyao Pot, Haotian Pagoda, Fuxi Harp, Shennong Cauldron, Kongtong Stamp, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone.
The ten ancient godly items in legends were all stored here!
“Sorry!” Su Han stepped lightly on her longsword and took the Nuwa Stone at the very end of the line.
She knew there were godly items stored in the Nine Dragon Palace but didn’t know there were ten!
She originally wanted to take the Donghunag Bell, which was the most powerful of all. However, she was afraid that she couldn’t control it. Also, she had gained Nuwa’s Sky-Patching Scroll in the Baxia Palace, so she felt like taking Nuwa Stone, the least powerful, was better.
“If I can pass the Heavenly Tribulation, I will for sure return this! Thank you for lending me this treasure, Master!”
Su Han put the Nuwa Stone which was shining all colors into her storage ring. She bowed to Qiu Niu politely and emphasized that she was only borrowing it.
Su Han only wanted to borrow it for a short period of time. She did not dare to keep such a godly item all to herself. Even Soul Formation Realm cultivators would not dare to keep such valuable treasures to themselves.
She only wanted to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm; she wanted to achieve her dream and know who her parents were.
“What happened today is all on me, Su Han. It has nothing to do with the other two. If I am able to transform into a heavenly dragon, I will follow all the orders that you give me. If I cannot get through the Heavenly Tribulation even with this godly item, please punish me with thousands of true lightning bolts!” she said to Qiu Niu.
Bam! Qiu Niu looked very weak, but it suddenly shook its tail.
All of a sudden, everywhere was pitch dark.
Hao Ren saw that it wasn’t a good sign, so he went flying toward Su Han.
He felt a sharp pain piercing into his backbones. If heavenly lightning bolts had never tempered his body, then all his bones would have been shattered!
Just when he was going to faint due to the pain, he opened his eyes and saw that Su Han was hugging him, and they were falling into the endless mists!
Bam! Su Han and Hao Ren fell into the water.
White mists were surrounding them… this was the Demon Sea!
