📖 Chapter 937 - Pursuing Me?
“How could there be fluctuations of the Underworld Law on that little girl’s body…” Wang Baole’s mind was full of doubts as he quickly flew away from the battlefield. However, he immediately suppressed those doubts as soon as they appeared.
Right now, he didn’t have the time to think about that. The bell-wearing girl from the Unorthodox Holy Region’s colossal Nine Phoenixes Sect was still pursuing him. Seven-colored light swirled around her, drawing a rainbow in the sky as she charged after Wang Baole.
As she pursued him, she shook her wrist, causing the clear tinkling of bells to echo out and creating ripples in the air. From a distance, the girl looked like she was treading on waves, elegant and graceful but at the same time astonishingly fast.
Her fluttering seven-colored dress, paired with her peerless beauty, could easily make a person think that a fairy from a painting had stepped into the mortal world.
“Is she in love with me or something?” Wang Baole felt a headache coming on. Although he had long left the battlefield, the bell-wearing girl was still following him, and with the tinkling of bells, her speed grew faster and faster. In desperation, Wang Baole pulled a jade slip out of his storage pouch and flung it toward her, letting out a loud roar.
“Don’t chase after me! Here, this is my token. Once this trial is over, I, Xie, will allow you to propose a marriage with me!”
When the bell-wearing girl behind him heard his words, the corner of her mouth quirked up in a smile.
“You’ll let me propose a marriage?” Although her voice was sweet and charming, a dangerous light flashed in her eyes. It was true that she was a little interested in Wang Baole, which was why she was chasing him in the first place, but it wasn’t an interest between a man and a woman. Instead, it was an interest in subduing him and taking him as a Dao slave. As for the matter of the other party having killed an Eternal Star cultivator, she didn’t believe that reflected his true battle prowess and must have been because of some special circumstance. It would be just too absurd otherwise.
According to her knowledge of Wang Baole, he had snatched his quota from the Purple Gold Civilization, offending them heavily in the process. Thus, he couldn’t possibly have any sort of powerful background, making him a good candidate for a Dao slave. After all, although he would lose his freedom, there were also many benefits to being the bell-wearing girl’s Dao slave.
But now, she had changed her mind. First, she would capture him alive and let him have a taste of death as punishment. Only after her anger was sated, would she consider whether to make him her Dao slave or not.
When her thoughts reached this point, a cold light flashed in the bell-wearing girl’s eyes, and she waved her right hand lightly. The ripples of sound waves all around her suddenly distorted and shot straight toward the jade slip Wang Baole had thrown, immediately crushing it to bits.
But just as the jade slip shattered, it suddenly spewed a large amount of black fog that turned into a fist, punching fiercely toward the bell-wearing girl!
This jade slip seemed ordinary, but it actually contained a bit of Wang Baole’s essence. His words earlier had been to make his opponent grow angry and crush the jade slip, thus creating a chance for attack.
Of course, it would have been even better if the bell-wearing girl had just ignored the jade slip.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t a very realistic thought. As the Chosen of the Nine Phoenixes Sect, the bell-wearing girl was naturally quite intelligent, and she obviously suspected something wrong with the jade slip. Although the black fog from the jade slip quickly formed a fist and blasted toward the bell-wearing girl, it ended up harmlessly passing through her body.
She wasn’t hurt in the slightest, as if her figure was only an illusion. In fact, that was indeed the case. A moment later, the bell-wearing girl suddenly walked out of the void to the right of Wang Baole.
“Is that it?” As she spoke, the bell-wearing girl lifted her right hand and shook it lightly. Sound waves burst forth in the surroundings, shooting toward Wang Baole like invisible silk threads.
They were astonishingly powerful, setting off sonic booms as they streaked through the void. Not only were they extraordinarily fast, they also seemed to be slicing the void itself.
An ordinary Spirit Immortal would definitely die in the face of this attack. Even a Planet Realm cultivator would have to use the power of their Planet to resist it. Clearly, not only did this bell-wearing girl have a powerful cultivation base, the bells on her wrist were also a supreme treasure.
“She isn’t simple!” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. The opponent noticing the trap in the jade slip wasn’t too surprising, but her counterattack was astonishingly swift and fierce, and the threads of sound gave him a very dangerous feeling. At the same time, the bell-wearing girl’s cultivation fluctuations made it clear that she was a formidable enemy. Wang Baole knew that it wouldn’t be easy for him to deal with her in a short period of time.
If he went all out and fought desperately, he could defeat her. But that wouldn’t be worth it, especially in the current situation.
“Should I bet that she won’t fight me to the death?” This thought flashed through Wang Baole’s mind for a moment, but he immediately gave up after suddenly thinking of a better idea. The sound threads quickly closed in on him, blocking off all directions, but as soon as one touched him, Wang Baole’s body suddenly exploded into black mist.
The sound threads could block a person, but not intangible mist. Wang Baole instantly shot through the gaps in the encirclement, not to escape, but to charge straight toward the bell-wearing girl. The bell-wearing girl’s pupils contracted slightly and she quickly dodged out of the way.
As she dodged, the black mist converged back into Wang Baole. The Emperor Armor manifested on his body, and the Nightmare Eye appeared behind him. He raised his right hand and blasted out with Supernova!
Although the Supernova Burst wasn’t some profound technique, its power was still impressive. After all, it allowed a person to burst out with the full power of their cultivation base all at once.
Coupled with the innate talent of Wang Baole’s Stellar Nascent Soul, allowing him to be bolstered so long as he stood on this Illusion Planet, this punch really seemed able to shatter stars. A hurricane of force immediately erupted, tearing apart the void and sweeping everything away as it shot straight toward the bell-wearing girl like a black hole.
“Hmph, a crude divine ability. Although its power isn’t bad, it has no Daoist magic to it at all!” The bell-wearing girl narrowed her eyes and formed hand seals with her right hand before pointing forward. Suddenly, rumbling sounds reverberated from the sky above her, as if the firmament had become chaotic. The indistinct cry of a phoenix rang out, as if an enormous phoenix was hiding in the void.
A moment later, a phoenix talon suddenly appeared, falling from the sky at an astonishing speed and growing a hundred zhang in an instant. It shot toward Wang Baole and collided with his Supernova Burst.
A heaven-shaking boom rang out, and the black hole formed by the Supernova Burst instantly collapsed. The phoenix talon also collapsed, but another phoenix cry rang out, and a second phoenix talon descended from the sky a moment later.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and gave up on fighting. He instantly retreated, pulling out another jade slip and throwing it at the bell-wearing girl.
“One jade slip wasn’t enough for you? Ai, looks like there’s no other choice. Who asked me to be so outstanding that you don’t believe my sincerity. Fine then, I’ll give you another one. Remember, you have to bring this jade slip when you come to propose marriage!” Wang Baole coughed as he threw the jade slip and retreated even faster.
“A glib tongue is all you’ve got!” The bell-wearing girl seemed to be disappointed in Wang Baole, but internally, she was even more vigilant than before. Wang Baole’s divine ability just now seemed crude, but its power couldn’t be ignored. Thus, she disregarded the jade slip and jumped on the approaching phoenix talon, standing on top of it as it chased after Wang Baole.
Just like that, one fled and one pursued. Along the way, the bell-wearing girl displayed various divine abilities, even summoning two phoenix heads from the firmament. Fortunately, the Emperor Armor allowed Wang Baole to slowly increase the distance between them and avoid his opponent’s divine abilities.
But… the bells on the girl’s wrist were really giving him a headache. As they shook and tinkled, sound waves spread out and gradually caused Wang Baole to slow down. It was as if he was stuck in a quagmire, a quagmire of sound waves.
After an incense stick’s worth of time, the bell-wearing girl was about to catch up to Wang Baole. On the surface, he revealed an expression of anxiety, but he was secretly sneering internally, thinking that it was almost time. He suddenly turned his head and raised his right hand, and the big megaphone filled with cracks appeared.
“I also have a sound-type magic treasure!” Putting the big megaphone that he’d barely fixed up to his lips, Wang Baole roared with all his might.
