Chapter 700 - How Could You Be So Stupid?
Di Jiu saw that Dao Chuanxun was dealing with Fan Yuan and knew that this was the most ideal timing to kill the Kun Peng Clan’s expert. The Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a saber screen, locking onto Kun Wei’s life-force and separating his domain from the surrounding void.
Kun Wei instantly sensed the oppression from the power of Heaven and Earth. Then, his supernormal ability escape technique seemed to slam onto a never-ending invisible wall and he fell from the sky.
Before he landed on the ground, he sensed the aura of death. His domain was locked by the Yin-Yang Taiji aura and he could not extend his domain to deal with Di Jiu. While facing the saber screen that was about to end his life, the only thing Kun Wei could do was frantically burn his Blood Essence and throw his Sawtooth Gong at Di Jiu.
Boom! The saber screen collided with the shadow from the Sawtooth Gong and an explosion took place in the air once again. This powerful explosion caused even the Yin-Yang Taijitu to shake violently.
Crack! The saber screen cracked and splintered and the shadow of the Sawtooth Gong shattered into pieces as well. Di Jiu turned slightly as he unsheathed his Heavenly Aqua Saber again.
Pew! A bloody mist suddenly exploded from Di Jiu’s chest, alarming Di Jiu. His Sky Screen had clearly shattered the shadow of Kun Wei’s Sawtooth Gong, yet it had managed to condense again. This caused him to get injured a second time.
Kun Wei attempted escaping again after injuring Di Jiu. However, he tried and realized that he would not be able to escape so long as the Yin-Yang Taijitu was still out in the open. He was 100 percent certain that Di Jiu’s Yin-Yang Taijitu was a Connate treasure.
The intense oppression of the Yin-Yang Taijitu engulfed Kun Wei once more. The extremely small domain Kun Wei had just extended shattered.
Di Jiu took no heed of his injuries. Instead, the Heavenly Aqua Saber ripped the space apart and slashed at Kun Wei.
It was not a difficult task to kill Kun Wei since Di Jiu possessed the Yin-Yang Taijitu. He was more concerned that Kun Zhi would backtrack before he managed to kill Kun Wei.
Dao Chuanxun laughed. “Brother Di, I know why you were looking for me. Follow me. Let us leave this place first.”
…
There were many cultivators in the Shadow Void Castle. However, the Shadow Void Castle’s main manor was evidently pulverized by exceptional experts. Almost all the cultivators rushed out of the castle immediately, leaving behind a small minority who had resided in the castle for a very long time and did not dare to leave.
Even the people residing in the main manor of the Shadow Void Castle had disappeared to unknown places.
“Father, Di Jiu is really immoral. This matter clearly has nothing to do with the Shadow Void Castle, yet he still acted against you.” An early-stage Primordial Dao young man sprinted toward Lou Hun on the ruins of the Shadow Void Castle’s main manor. It was Lou Tai, Lou Hun’s son.
Because of his Primordial Dao Realm cultivation, Lou Tai was not qualified to participate in a battle of this level. However, he had been observing his father from the sidelines.
Lou Hun sighed. “Di Jiu must have seen that I was hoping that the Kun Peng Clan’s experts would win. I did not expect Di Jiu to be so cunning as to sneak an attack on Kun Wei…”
Before Lou Tai could reply, Lou Hun stepped in front of him and announced, “I am leaving this place to recuperate. Help me set up the Defense Array.”
Lou Tai hastily followed his father, who left the ruins.
The streets of the Shadow Void Castle were completely empty. In a very short time, all the cultivators had either escaped or hidden away.
Half an hour later, Lou Hun brought Lou Tai along and hid inside the underground palace built below the ruins.
Lou Hun let out a very long breath after closing the gate and restrictions of the underground palace.
“Father, we do not know where Di Jiu came from…”
This time, before Lou Tai could say anything, Lou Hun hollered, “Shut up! Lou Tai, your cultivation experience was accumulated using elixir pills and cultivating resources, so you lack some life-and-death experiences. You probably have forgotten that you were almost killed by Dao Lord Ye. The Shadow Void Castle would be in a much graver predicament if Di Jiu had not lent us a helping hand.”
“Father, Di Jiu clearly chopped off one of your arms without a reason…” said Lou Tai, who couldn’t understand. Why had his father said that Di Jiu had helped them when he had clearly injured him?
Lou Hun looked at Lou Tai and explained with a sigh, “You are really ignorant. Di Jiu was helping me, not harming me, by chopping off my arm. Before Kun Peng Clan’s Kun Zhi left, he set up a Surveillance Array in the Shadow Void Castle. This Surveillance Array allows Kun Zhi to know everything that is happening in the castle. Di Jiu chopped off my arm and reprimanded me so that Kun Zhi would see it and believe that I did not help Di Jiu. Instead, he will think I am on the Kun Peng Clan’s side. How could you be so stupid?”
