Chapter 665: The Sudden Appearance of Xin Wuji
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Without hesitation, Qin Wushuang initiated the Supreme Dao shield to protect all fatal points on his body. He welcomed the waving motion of this powerful Supreme Dao stream of air and did not take a step back. He watched the changes occurring at the stone platform ahead of him with determination.
When the green jade arrow was wrapped by the white light, the Supreme Dao Five Elemental Talisman that was on top of it had exploded all of a sudden and let forth a loud rumbling noise. It had instantly dispelled much of the white light from the surrounding area.
Explosive sounds kept ringing forth. The streams of air from all directions remained active. The green jade arrow, pushed by the surge of Supreme Dao presence from the Graceful Spiritual Bow also kept resisting the forceful power.
Boom!
Accompanied with an ear-splitting loud sound, something had happened that caused Qin Wushuang to smack his tongue. Under the force of the Supreme Dao barrier, the entire green jade arrow had exploded and turned into chunked up fragments. It dispersed with a loud rumble.
The whirlpool formed by the Supreme Dao prohibition also dispersed at a rapid speed all of a sudden. Qin Wushuang saw this opening and gave a low shout. He initiated the Supreme Dao shield and protected his entire body, like a flying boat supported by the streams of air, he shot towards the stone platform.
Now the prohibition was at its weakest state. If he were not to get the Supreme Dao Fruit now, he would have no other opportunities.
Without hesitation, under the cover of the Supreme Dao Shield, Qin Wushuang dashed towards the center of the area. Although most of the surrounding barrier was reduced by the attack from the Graceful Spiritual Bow, it still operated as one approached it. Just as he made it closer with the Supreme Dao Shield, the white lights pressed down on him from all directions.
Fortunately, the power of this white light was far less than before. This was the remaining power of the prohibition for it could not be regenerated.
It proved to be much less after this attack. Unless a powerful spiritual source was residing in the surrounding area to provide spiritual Qi as needed, it couldn’t regenerate on its own.
Clearly, in such a short time, this spiritual source could not be supplemented at a fast speed, unless this formation was operated by human beings who were on the scene. After the prohibition’s power was consumed, its’ power would surely be reduced to some extent.
However, even this barrier with reduced power and even though Qin Wushuang had the protection of the Supreme Dao Shield, he was still dragged down by the white light as he got two thirds closer to the target. Regardless of how Qin Wushuang tried to push forward, he was still a little bit away from the final destination.
Upon seeing the Supreme Dao fruit right before him, Qin Wushuang was failing to get it! Such a feeling could make one mad!
“Could it be that I must waste another green jade arrow and a piece of the Supreme Dao Five Elemental Talisman?” Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was feeling reluctant. It would have been alright if he were to just use another Supreme Dao Five Elemental Talisman.
However, the green jade arrows were his best weapon to use against enemies. Unless he could acquire the original equipment, the Shooting Sun Arrows, he couldn’t not have the jade arrows.
One of the three green jade arrows was already lost. If he were to lose one more, it would greatly affect the power of the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
“Graceful Spiritual Bow?” When he thought about the bow, suddenly, Qin Wushuang had an idea and he pulled the bow to his hand.
The Graceful Spiritual Bow was a folding bow and had incredible length. Qin Wushuang waved the Graceful Spiritual Bow in the air and immediately drew a beautiful arc.
“It’s just right!” Qin Wushuang was overjoyed. The other weapons could not break through this force; however, the Graceful Spiritual Bow proved to be much more useful than he could imagine!
In between its swinging, the Graceful Spiritual Bow had already broke the wall of the prohibition and hooked onto the long vine growing the fruit. The bow string of the Graceful Spiritual Bow was even more exceptional than ordinary divine weapons. With a gentle sweep, he had cut the long vine. Pulling it with his hand along the way, the long vine fell towards Qin Wushuang’s direction.
He wrapped it with the Graceful Spiritual Bow and dragged the long vine to his hand.
Once again, Qin Wushuang initiated the Supreme Dao Shield and sprung backwards to pull the upper half of the long vine out with him.
Supreme Dao Fruit, fruit of the Supreme Dao!
When Qin Wushuang looked at this sparkling and translucent fruit, his breathing could not but help to become urgent. Upon seeing how precious it was he did not dare to neglect it and quickly took out the jade container that was used to hold the spiritual fruit. He put the divine fruits into it to prevent the loss of spiritual Qi.
Qin Wushuang found it hard to believe that he had acquired these precious fruits. He gave a call and pulled the Sky Pilfered Mole back to the sealed scroll. Without another word, he scuttled to the outside of the cave.
If he were not to go now, how long was he going to stay here?
Due to the support of that Supreme Dao spiritual beast, Qin Wushuang had not encountered any obstructions as he entered and exited. He arrived back to the entrance easily.
Just when he was about to leap out, suddenly, a sense of danger emerged in his heart. He used the Supreme Dao shield to block his chest unconsciously!
Almost at the same time, a long blade carrying brilliant rays of light and multi-colored brilliance slashed at the Supreme Dao Shield. If Qin Wushuang had not blocked it in time, he would have gotten cut in two pieces.
Although the defense power of the Supreme Dao Shield had reached its most abnormal state, the attack still made Qin Wushuang feel his blood roll over. The attack power was too powerful!
Ever since Qin Wushuang had stepped onto the path of martial arts, he had fought with countless elite warriors. Attacks at the Perfect Void Martial Stage would be almost no threat to him.
However, this attack made him feel like his blood was going to burst through the Supreme Dao Shield. The attack had certainly surpassed the stage of the Void Martial Force!
Without thinking, Qin Wushuang retreated back into the cave and fixed his gaze back to the outside entrance. With this one look, he was tremendously shocked.
This person was Xin Wuji, who had escaped in a panic a moment ago!
The son of the Heavenly Emperor, the strongest elite warrior among the young generation of the Xuan Yuan Mound, Xin Wuji!
If Qin Wushuang was not wearing the Illusion Heart Mask, most likely Xin Wuji would expose him through the change of expression on his face. Fortunately, this mask was too real. Although Xin Wuji was exceptional, he did not recognize that the person before him was an old acquaintance from the Heavenly Emperor Mountain!
“Give me the Supreme Dao object and I’ll let you go!” Xin Wuji was not being imperious. Instead, he stood at the cave entrance with his sword to block all chances of escape.
Qin Wushuang could not speak, but only glare at Xin Wuji with a profound look. He did not show the slightest fear. To speak the truth, Qin Wushuang did not harbor anh fear for Xin Wuji.
If it wasn’t under such a dangerous situation, Qin Wushuang would’ve even had the confidence to play with Xin Wuji. However, as he was holding the Supreme Dao treasure at his hand, he did not have the energy to play with Xin Wuji.
Despite thinking in this way, he did not reveal the slightest bit of frailty through his movements.
“How did you know that I’ve acquired the Supreme Dao treasure?” Qin Wushuang changed the tone of his voice and asked with a low voice.
“If you had not gotten it, would you have come out so quickly from that cave?” Xin Wuji’s logic was simple to the extent that he was shoving false arguments down people’s throats.
Qin Wushuang knew that Xin Wuji was intimidating him with his laugh. “That’s easy for you to say! You go see the Supreme Dao force field and see if you can break it!”
Xin Wuji was a person with a sophisticated mind for he did not get baffled by Qin Wushuang’s words. Instead, he revealed a light smile. “Mister, if you wish to persuade me that the Supreme Dao good is not in your hands, give up. I do not believe you.”
Qin Wushuang raised his brows. “So, you are certain that I have the goods?”
Xin Wuji said leisurely, “Do you not? Not only I am sure, I am determined you have it!”
Indeed, this Xin Wuji was hard to deal with!
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang swore; however, since Xin Wuji had seized an advantageous position, it would be incredibly difficult to break through his defense.
Even if Qin Wushuang had a Supreme Dao weapon, how could Xin Wuji not? The sword held by Xin Wuji was a first-rate Supreme Dao weapon. If this weren’t the case, how could it have caused Qin Wushuang’s blood to roll through the Supreme Dao Shield?
The most fatal part was that Qin Wushuang was only at the Profound Void Martial Stage, but Xin Wuji was already at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage! He was three levels ahead of Qin Wushuang!
Even for his sealed spiritual beasts, the most powerful ones he could summon now were the Purple Pupil Golden Ox and the Burning Sky Explosive Tiger. They were only at the Profound Mysterious stage.
They were one level below the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage!
It would truly be difficult to break through this defense!
Qin Wushuang thought for a bit and came up with a plan.
At this moment, he drew back the corner of his mouth and said coldly, “Then let’s spend our time like this! You can either enter the cave to get it or you can stay out there to guard me. At the most, I will not be coming out!”
Xin Wuji said lightly, “If you want to become the dessert for the divine beast, then stay in there!”
Qin Wushuang said with a cold sneer, “If that divine beast is to come back, do you think you can escape?”
Xin Wuji said with equal harshness, “If I could not escape, I would not have come back. Kid, whether the Supreme Dao treasure is more important than your life, you have to decide. If you are dead, but keep the Supreme Dao treasure, what use would it be to you then?”
Qin Wushuang said leisurely, “Don’t worry, if the divine beast were to return, the first thing I would do is hold you up. Even if I am to die, I must take someone with me, right?”
Xin Wuji’s face went cold. “Do you think you are capable?”
“If you don’t try, how will you know whether I have this ability or not? Tsk tsk, if the high and mighty son of the Heavenly Emperor were to die at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley due to greed, it would make a pretty good joke. Wouldn’t it??”
Qin Wushuang’s tone was quite mocking.
These words instantly caused Xin Wuji to show a change of expression. This kid appeared to be full of confidence, could it be he truly harbored some tricks up his sleeve?
“You are lacking confidence, right? You have a guilty conscience right? Ha ha ha ha.” Qin Wushuang laughed recklessly. “Son of the Heavenly Emperor, such a major role to live up to. However, you are the son of the Heavenly Emperor of the Xuan Yuan Mound, but you wish to issue orders here? In your dreams! I think the Emei Daoist Sect would definitely be willing to deliver a perfect feast for their divine beast protector. Tsk tsk, swallowing the Primordial Spirit of an elite warrior at the peak of the Common Mysterious would surpass ten people at the Perfect Void Martial Stage!”
“Ha ha ha ha…” Xin Wuji’s expression had gradually turned cold. “Kid, since you know my identity and you still wait to be captured with your hands tied, then I can only tell you that I will make you regret your choice!”
Xin Wuji’s tone still sounded incredibly domineering.
Qin Wushuang laughed happily. “Xin Wuji, do you think you are a sheep in wolf’s skin? A moment ago you were stepping out for the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect boldly. When the divine beast came out, how come you didn’t even care for your friends but only escaped for your own life? If such embarrassing actions were to become known, your status would be disgraced, right?”
These words had hit Xin Wuji’s inside his heart. Regardless, everyone had seen the scene of him abandoning his friends. His big name, being Xin Wuji, was already exposed before everyone when he stepped out for the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.
This matter was a flaw that he could not cover up, regardless of the outcome!
Now upon hearing Qin Wushuang mentioning it, Xin Wuji flew into a rage out of humiliation. He pointed with his long sword at Qin Wushuange while saying, “Kid, it seems that you will not shed a tear until you see your coffin!”
