“Since Xiu Jiu has been enduring for such a long time, there’s no way he’d tell me in just an hour!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes turned cold as his resolution grew firmer . “Looks like I have no choice but to kill him!”
“Kill him? Don’t you want to know where your mother is?” Gu King asked .
“I’d put up a fight if I know I stand even the slightest chance but it’s hopeless now,” Jian Wushuang replied solemnly . “I’m not a hotspur . I won’t blindly pursue a goal even knowing it’s hopeless . ”
“The mysterious pattern on Jiu Xiu’s skin would be gone after his death . I’m confident I can manage to escape within this hour!”
Once he made up his mind, he immediately set out to kill Jiu Xiu .
Just then…
“Jian Wushuang, hurry up and look what’s in front of you,” Gu King cried .
Jian Wushuang looked up and saw a black dot appearing at the end of his line of sight . The black dot magnified rapidly and appeared before him instantly . It was a sturdy, bear-like, and apathetic man .
“Oh no!”
Jian Wushuang’s pupils shrunk the moment he saw the apathetic man .
“This aura belongs to a Holy Master! Is he from the Ancient Demon Clan?” His expression was grim .
He had been ready to take Jiu Xiu out but now a Celestial Master showed up out of nowhere . Moreover, this Celestial Master was evidently targeting him . He was either from the Ancient Demon Clan or an expert that they invited .
“This is troublesome . ” Jian Wushuang’s eyes turned cold . The Blood Mountain Sword was already in his hand .
Yet unexpectedly…
“Hm?” Jian Wushuang was stunned .
He realized that though the bear-like, apathetic man was eyeing him, there was no Killing Intent in the latter’s eyes .
The man was already in front of Jian Wushuang but made no move to attack him . Instead, he bypassed Jian Wushuang and stopped behind him . He then lifted his head and targeted his sharp gaze at Patriarch of Empyrean Glory, who was taking his sweet time in catching up to Jian Wushuang .
Then, the man made his move .
“Boom!”
The man had merely thrown a simple punch but it was enough to set off an explosion that detonated all of the space around them .
Soon an immense black hole emerged which covered the range of thousands of miles out of thin air . The spiral-shaped black hole extended outward in a perfectly straight line .
In the center of that spatial black hole was a thick, solid arm with its hand tightly clenched . It was an incredibly arrogant and unyielding fist .
“This…”
Patriarch of Empyrean Glory’s expression changed when he saw the punch flying at him . He responded by clapping his large wings, producing a powerful storm with a concentrated force . The storm effortlessly shattered the fist and spatial black hole .
Though he managed to crush the attacks, Patriarch of Empyrean Glory was forced to stop .
“Who are you? How dare you stop me?” he asked, his voice carrying traces of alarm .
The apathetic man remained expressionless as he responded emotionlessly, “I’m here to stop you on my Master’s order!”
“Master?” Patriarch of Empyrean Glory was stunned .
Once the apathetic man made his move, he had shown that he was a genuine Celestial Master .
“What kind of a person will be strong enough to have a Celestial Master call his Master?” thought Jian Wushuang .
Jian Wushuang had continued to widen his distance from Patriarch of Empyrean Glory after the apathetic man bypassed him . In the end, he stopped running and turned around in time to see the man stopping Patriarch of Empyrean Glory .
“This man came for me but he’s not here to kill me, but to… help me?” He was stunned .
Reinforcement?
Jian Wushuang never dreamed that he would have reinforcements .
After all, he hadn’t made many friends in the Samsara Continent . He only knew Dragon Wing Governor and Dreamless Dao Master, and he was absolutely certain that these two would have no way of getting him reinforcements on the level of a Holy Master .
But the apathetic man’s action and words…
“Master?” Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes .
Who would be the Master of this strong and apathetic man?
Patriarch of Empyrean Glory was so mad, to boot!
“I don’t care who your Master is . This brat killed my son and for that, I must take his life today . Get out of my way . Otherwise…” Patriarch of Empyrean Glory roared .
Before he could finish his sentence, a cold voice came drifting from afar reached his ears . “Otherwise? Otherwise what?”
Both Jian Wushuang and Patriarch of Empyrean Glory immediately turned toward the source of the voice .
They saw dozens of black dots appearing in their vision . These dots rapidly enlarged, soon turning into figures that stood in the Void .
The group of people emanated dangerously strong auras that indicated that they were in the Peak of Rank Three Level . Their leader was unexpectedly a stunning, delicate-looking girl in black .
Despite her frail appearance, the group of Dao Masters stood deferentially behind her . Even the apathetic man who made the first move bowed respectfully to her and cried, “Master!”
Patriarch of Empyrean Glory’s pupils shrank in shock .
On the other hand, Jian Wushuang was dumbfounded .
He had never felt this stupefied in his life .
He kept his gaze fixed on the black-robed girl .
The girl also stared at him, her eyes reflecting the fierce joy .
Jian Wushuang couldn’t help crying out, “Fourth Sister?” His emotions began surging wildly .
Fourth Sister?
Few people in this world would merit such an intimate manner of addressing from Jian Wushuang .
In fact, there were only three—the three people that he swore to be good siblings with when he was still a weakling in the Ancient World .
There were four of them in total .
The oldest was Wang Yuan .
The second was Yang Zaixuan .
The third was Jian Wushuang himself .
The fourth… Su Rou!
The young and shy girl whose charm drew everyone to dote on her was also the earliest to leave the Ancient World .
He wasn’t there when she left, hearing about her departure from Wang Yuan and Yang Zaixuan later . He didn’t know where she went, only that she was leaving with a mysterious expert .
When he arrived in the Green Fire World, he guessed that she was also here somewhere .
But he never once thought that it would be here, in the Samsara Continent, that he would meet Fourth Sister again or that she would now be so different .
The young and shy girl back then now possessed a fearsome aura . The dozens of experts that surrounded and protected her also showed her status as an expert .
Su Rou was similarly surprised but she was able to suppress her emotions .
Her eyes turned a little colder as she turned to look at Patriarch of Empyrean Glory . She once again spoke in that icy cold voice of hers .
“Patriarch of Empyrean Glory, if you dare touch even a strand of hair on his head while I’m around, I’ll pluck out all the fur on your bat body!”
