Chapter 655: Apex Confrontation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Swoosh!

The Three Ghost Servants were very swift, and they flew like shells toward the Moon Soul Stone in the air. They emitted an ear-piercing noise. It seemed like the high gravity, as well as the mist in the air, which could cast soul attacks, was useless against them.

The Three Ghost Servants of the Chaos Plane’s Lich King were extraordinary, but it was a pity there were no weaklings, because even though those three were quite swift, the others were also quick.

Sizzle!

As an ear-piercing tearing noise echoed out, a large scarlet palm stretched out of the void and went after the Moon Soul Stone in the air. The middle-aged man clad in a white robe intervened suddenly, and he reached the stone ahead of everyone else, even though he had gone after it later than the others. The three warriors behind him pulled out their sharp swords and pounced at the Three Ghost Servants.

“Sword’s Blades Storm!”

The three warriors let out a shout, and dense, sharp Sword Energy instantly appeared in the air. As a sizzling noise echoed out, the Sword Energy tore the air like blades and created spatial fissures as it flew toward the Three Ghost Servants. This was the same technique, Sword’s Blades Storm, yet its might was higher than the one used by the Sword God Gerald by several thousandfold, or even several tens of thousandfold.

“Humph, you are courting death.” When the hanged ghost-like Three Ghost Servants sighted upon the three warriors who obstructed their way, they advanced instead of retreating and raised their skeletal hands as they pounced toward them. They ignored the sharp Sword Energy, and their thick fingers shone with green radiance, which was as peculiar as Ghost Fire. If Yin Yang hadn’t guessed wrong, their fingers were coated in terrible deadly poison.

Ding!

As a metallic collision sound echoed out, the Three Ghost Servants held the now empty-handed white-robed warriors’ sharp swords. They had done so in front of the nervous crowd’s gazes, and their hands’ strange green luster quickly spread to the three warriors’ swords before it spread toward their bodies.

Ghost Fire Corpse Poison!

This was the Lich King Branch’s ultimate skill, which was revealed to the crowd and gave everyone a headache. Even the three white-robed warriors, who were Divine Duty Experts, didn’t dare to face it head-on. They were both startled and angered. They let out a shout before they pulled out their swords and retreated quickly. They strove hard to erase the terrifying Corpse Poison from their swords.

The Three Ghost Servants managed to force three Third-Level Divine Duty Experts to retreat with just a single move, but they were still delayed for a moment, and the white-robed middle-aged man’s large palm was already near the Moon Soul Stone. Even if they were swift, they wouldn’t be able to obstruct him. If the Moon Soul Stone fell in Anderson’s hands, they could force him to hand it over, but if it fell into the hands of the powerful white-robed middle-aged man, then it would be difficult to get a share of it.

At this critical juncture, when the white-robed middle-aged man was about to get his hands on the Moon Soul Stone, Algernon Divine Branch’s leader, the stern-faced expert, rushed over quickly. “Steve, do you want to take the Moon Soul Stone for yourself?” he said. “Your Hastings Divine Branch isn’t qualified for this.” But he didn’t take the Moon Soul Stone in the air. Instead, he thrust his blade at the white-robed middle-aged man’s chest. His blade shone with bright radiance!

When the white-robed middle-aged man Steve saw the shocking blade’s radiance, he furrowed his brows and gritted his teeth before he waved his hand to release an Earth Magical Barrier that protected his body. “Battier, you are really daring,” he said. Soon after, he sped up again and tried to take the Moon Soul Stone in one go. But, as a sizzling noise echoed, a silver light flew over from the distance, and it was a shining sword that flew toward him.

At this critical juncture, Longbarton’s old man, who was clad in luxurious clothes, rushed over, and the white-robed middle-aged man was instantly attacked jointly by two strong experts. Even if the middle-aged man was stronger, and even if his Protective Magical Barrier was stronger, he would still be forced to get out of the way.

He was about to get his hands on the Moon Soul Stone when the stone fell with a rumble onto a reed.

In an instant, the four Great Factions’ experts revealed their great fighting prowess. They all couldn’t deal with each other, and none could keep the rare Moon Soul Stone. The Lich King’s Three Ghost Servants possessed great power, and Hastings Divine Branch’s white-robed middle-aged man Steve was quite shrewd and powerful, but the old man clad in luxurious clothes from Longbarton Divine Branch and Algernon Divine Branch’s Battier weren’t any worse than them.

“It’s brilliant and amazing.”

“Tsk, tsk. The Force Plane’s Hastings Divine Branch is really amazing, and they had almost gotten it.”

“It’s said that after Hastings Divine Branch’s experts practiced to the pinnacle, they would be able to destroy a Materialistic Plane with their palms. I wonder whether this is real?”

...

The white-robed middle-aged man fought two people alone and nearly succeeded. When the crowd saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment and discussed it spiritedly. In the Force Plane, Hastings Divine Branch was the strongest Divine Branch other than Royal Force Branch and had innumerable experts. They mainly practiced the Force’s mysteries, and it was said that a long time ago Hastings Divine Lord punished a traitor who had betrayed the Divine Branch personally, destroying the traitor’s Materialistic Plane with a single palm strike.

At first, many people hiding in the dark still coveted getting their hands on the precious Moon Soul Stone, and they planned to attack at a critical juncture. But, after they saw the four great factions in the air, most of them gave up. The Lich King, Hastings Divine Branch, Algernon Divine Branch, and Longbarton Divine Branch were all renowned Divine Branches that had innumerable experts. Even the strongest wanderer didn’t have the gall to challenge those four great Divine Branches’ great experts.

A lone old man leaning on a walking stick let out a soft sigh before he left quickly. He disappeared into the lush forest. If Yang Ling turned around, he would discover that this was the Rain Demon, who had previously left suddenly. It was the crazy Rain Demon who possessed great power!

The Rain Demon was very powerful, but he also couldn’t face many enemies like the astute Anderson. “It’s so clever,” Yang Ling thought. “It’s no wonder that Anderson cut off a corner of the Moon Soul Stone and left quickly.”

When the crowd saw Anderson leave without fighting, they despised him, and this was also the case for Yang Ling. But after he witnessed the white-robed middle-aged man’s stunning palm strike, he was shocked, and he admired Anderson for his wise and decisive choice. He used the large piece of the Soul Moon Stone as bait and then quickly left in front of numerous experts. He managed to smoothly get a piece of the Moon Soul Stone he coveted even in his dreams. He had gotten just a fifth of it, but this was still better than persisting until the end and dying without leaving a corpse.

Anderson understood clearly people’s characters and acted firmly and decisively. Ordinary people weren’t on par with Anderson, and he proved that he was really an experienced wanderer.

The God-Level was just a practice level and wasn’t the practice summit. There were all kinds of people among the numerous wanderers, and a person who practiced to the God-Level wasn’t really a powerhouse. Many young people born with a silver spoon reached the God-Level easily thanks to their families’ training. But if one practiced to the peak of the High-Level Deity Stage, traveled around for innumerable years and gathered enough power to contend against Divine Duty Experts, then that said person’s power was surely no small matter. Anderson, who acted firmly and decisively, was obviously among the best men!

“Hehe, Steve. You are really amazing, and you dared to attack me and my two brothers. Humph!” Upon seeing the white-robed middle-aged Steve’s power, the crowd was stunned, but the hanged ghost-like three Ghost Servants didn’t buy it, and they looked at the three warriors behind Steve, who had gone back.

Hastings Divine Branch was very powerful, but the Lich King Branch wasn’t composed of weaklings.

“Divide the Moon Soul Stone into four pieces. None will suffer a loss,” Longbarton Divine Branch’s old man, who was clad in luxurious clothes, said. He paused for a moment before saying, “However, if any sir is willing to offer me his share, I’m willing to offer him a Divine Weapon in exchange for it. I can even craft a top-rate Divine Weapon according to your requests.”

The Moon Soul Stone, which contained a large amount of Soul Energy, was as precious as a city was to ordinary people, and it was a priceless treasure to Longbarton Divine Branch, which specialized in craftsmanship. If they got this treasure, they would be able to craft the finest Divine Weapon, or even a top-rate Master Divine Weapon.

All Great Divine Branches could craft Divine Weapons, but when it came to their mastery over this craft, Longbarton Divine Branch was the best in all Great Planes. The prosperity of Longbarton Branches in all Wandering Castles was a clear proof of this.

“I don’t care about how many pieces you will divide it into. In any case, our Algernon Divine Branch wants half of it,” Dio, who stood on the ground, said, shocking the crowd. He was protected by numerous guards and stepped forward bravely. He didn’t have the power to fly and snatch the Moon Soul Stone personally, but he was the young master, and this didn’t hinder him from bossing people around.

Algernon Divine Branch’s Sixth-Level Divine Duty Expert Battier had received Dio’s urgent summons and rushed there in time. But Dio was still surprised and excited to discover that a real peerless expert had also come. That expert hid his aura, and even the Three Ghost Servants, Steve, and other experts didn’t discover this apex powerhouse. It was Algernon Bogans!

Bogans was titled the number one general beneath Algernon Divine Lord, and Dio didn’t just believe that Bogans could get a little Moon Soul Stone, he also believed that he could kill the Black-Horned Demon in the Demon Palace, who would awaken shortly. This was why Dio was so arrogant and aggressive earlier. The reason behind this was that he had what it took to act arrogantly. He was confident in himself and fearless!

“Do they want at least a half?”

The crowd in the vicinity, who was observing the latest events, cast sidelong glances, and their gazes instantly focused on the arrogant and pale-faced Dio, who was encircled by a large number of guards. Algernon Divine Branch was very powerful, but the crowd still didn’t expect this youth born with a silver spoon to be so arrogant.

At first, the Three Ghost Servants and Hastings Divine Branch’s Steve were slightly tempted by the offer because they had already discerned that they couldn’t take the stone for themselves. They planned to accept the suggestion of Longbarton Divine Branch’s old man, who was clad in luxurious clothes. But, after they heard what the arrogant Dio had said, they sneered coldly. Ordinary people retained a respectful distance from Algernon Divine Branch, which had innumerable experts, but no one among them cared to do this. They didn’t mind joining hands to teach the arrogant Dio a severe lesson. They exchanged a glance and then separated. They encircled the group of Algernon Divine Branch’s Battier.

“Fine, fight, fight with your whole power. Fight until death,” Yang Ling thought. He looked at the arrogant Dio, the Ghost Servants, Steve, and others, who had become restless. He became quite excited and estimated the distance between the Restriction Spell, where he was hiding, and Dio. He planned to use an Evasion Spell to launch a surprise attack before escaping unscathed. He was considering this plan’s odds of success.

Normally, it would be difficult to launch a successful surprise attack on Dio, who always had many experts with him. But, if Algernon Divine Branch’s group suffered the joint attack of the other three great factions, Yang Ling was sure that he could suddenly launch a surprise attack, chop off Dio’s head, and take his Godhead.
