Chapter 863: Success & Escape (Ⅱ)

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Cracks gradually appeared on the transparent cover. As Zhou Bao attacked continually, the cracks became bigger and bigger. Moreover, these cracks were transferred to the circular shield. And at such a close distance, Zhou Bao clearly saw the true face of the shield. It was not a perfect circle. To be precise, it was a turtle shell that cracked under Zhou Bao’s attacks. The moment the cracks swept over the shield, a small jade turtle suddenly could be seen.

“Roar!”

The jade turtle suddenly opened its mouth and let out a sound that did not match its size. It was like a thunderbolt coming out of a clear sky. Suddenly, Zhou Bao’s attacks came to a standstill. Within this short moment, the cracks on the shield began to be repaired.

Without thinking, Zhou Bao knew that the jade turtle had to be the device spirit of this shield. He was greatly relieved because he had managed to drive the device spirit out of the shield by force. Although the small shield had already begun to be repaired, he figured out the limitations of the shield through his several attacks.

Even if this shield could block his attack once or twice, could it succeed in doing so many times?

Like a violent storm, Zhou Bao’s fierce attacks left no room for the Second Crown Prince to breath, let alone counterattack.

After Zhou Bao started the ball rolling, the only thing the Second Crown Prince could do was resist desperately.

After a few seconds, the SwordQi still raged as before and a vacuum formed in this space. So many cracks cropped up on the transparent shield that even the jade turtle was unable to patch them quickly.

“Stop, stop! Can we talk about this? Let’s talk!” At this point, the Second Crown Prince could no longer maintain his reserved manner and cried out loud. If he did not do so, he might die under Zhou Bao’s SwordQi.

“Save your breath! I need your fate and Divine Sense. Go to hell, brat!”

The Second Crown Prince wanted to negotiate with Zhou Bao, while the latter had no desire to do so. Zhou Bao stretched out his five fingers and the Immortal-killing Sword Qi intertwined with the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi. Then, a visible black-and-white SwordQi formed. It tore off the shield together with the circular cover.

“Nooo!”

The moment the cover was torn open, the Second Crown Prince let out a cry of despair. Meanwhile, the jade turtle dissipated under Zhou Bao’s SwordQi.

A colorful ray swept toward Zhou Bao at the same time. Furthermore, strange ripples appeared in the surrounding space. The shield and its device spirit were rolled up by an unknown power and vanished from this space.

“Kong Ti, I’m waiting for you!”

Zhou Bao paid no attention to that shield. It was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, just like his red gourd. Thus, it was able to resist the power of the Treasure-snatching Rock in this space when it was intact. But what if it was damaged?

It almost exploded due to Zhou Bao’s attacks. Under these circumstances, it even had a problem protecting itself, let alone warding off the Treasure-snatching Rock. Without a doubt, it would be controlled by the unknown power of the Treasure-snatching Rock. Zhou Bao, however, had no intention to wrestle with the Treasure-snatching Rock for it. In his eyes, Huang Lei’s fate and Divine Sense were what mattered.

They were the things he had to obtain.

Similarly, they were items that another Tribulation Taker, Kong Ti, was hell-bent on acquiring. He did not interfere in the fight between Zhou Bao and the Second Crown Prince, but that did not mean he did not intend to benefit from them.

As expected, when Zhou Bao tore the shield apart and was about to kill the Second Crown Prince, his Five-colored Divine Light moved toward Zhou Bao.

“Kong Ti, if you want the fate, just take it yourself. I don’t think it’s good to seize the spoils of war of others!”

Though Kong Ti did not understand the meaning of “seize the spoils of war of others”, he could easily speculate about it given Zhou Bao’s tone. “Humph, just blame yourself for being stupid!” Kong Ti sneered. Half of Huang Lei’s fate was on the Second Crown Prince, so he would not give ground anyway. His Five-colored Divine Light shone brightly and enveloped Zhou Bao and the Second Crown Prince tightly. However, he did not think much about the Second Crown Prince, the focus of his attacks was Zhou Bao.

“Considering your strength, you are not qualified to steal my possessions!”

The black-and-white SwordQi transformed into a big net. It not only kept out the Five-colored Divine Light, but it also wrapped up the Second Crown Prince, who was prepared to escape.

Rationally speaking, the Second Crown Prince was by no means weak. Otherwise, killing Huang Lei would not have been as easy as winking for him. Although many Earthly Immortals assisted him during the process, if he had not possessed a certain strength, he could not have succeeded in doing so.

But the problem was that they were now in the Treasure-snatching Rock’s space, where most of the fairy weapons were unable to exert their power. The Second Crown Prince deserved to be called a man of bountiful treasures. But the majority of his fairy weapons malfunctioned here. The only useful weapon that was able to withstand the power of the Treasure-snatching Rock was his circular shield. Nevertheless, it was unfortunate that it had been taken away by the Treasure-snatching Rock because it could not bear Zhou Bao’s fierce attacks and resist the power of the Treasure-snatching Rock at the same time.

Although the Second Crown Price was powerful, there was still a gap between his strength and that of Zhou Bao and Kong Ti. He got to know the secret of the Treasure-snatching Rock by accident and came here by virtue of the force of the Jade Emperor Palace. It never occurred to him that he would encounter two Tribulation Takers at once, let alone that these two were so formidable. With his strength, he had no chance of escaping.

“You cannot kill me! I am the Crown Prince of Jade Emperor! If you do so, you will be the sworn enemy of the Jade Emperor Palace!”

The power and pressure emanating from the fight between Zhou Bao’s SwordQi and Kong Ti’s Five-colored Divine Light far exceeded the Second Crown Prince’s imagination. In the twinkling of an eye, they displayed a power that proved utterly irresistible to him. He then was frightened by them. Evidently, the two men in front of him were reckless; however, as a noble Crown Prince, he did not dare risk his life. As a result, he begged for mercy without hesitation.

Nonetheless, Zhou Bao and Kong Ti were never softhearted people. In their eyes, the Second Crown Prince was a fat lamb from whom they could profit. Wait until their fight was over, the winner would gather his spoils of war—the Second Crown Prince.

Therefore, no matter how the Second Crown Prince cried and how he emphasized his identity, status, and the force he represented, they seemed totally unconcerned about it. The SwordQi rushed into the sky and the divine light followed suit. The two fought each other in the world of the Treasure-snatching Rock and neither could gain the upper hand. It appeared that an outcome would not be reached in a short period.

“I know a big secret about the Treasure-snatching Rock and I’ll tell you if you let me go. It’s much better than killing me. You’ll obtain great benefits and...!”

“Swish!” A colorful ray and a streak of SwordQi struck the Second Crown Prince almost at the same time. His left arm was chopped off by the SwordQi, and because of the Five-colored Divine Light, his right arm turned into a chunk of wood, without a shred of vitality.

“Boom!”

The Five-colored Divine Light and the SwordQi knocked into each other again.

Kong Ti no longer concealed his strength. His Five-colored Divine Light rotated and evolved a macro world in the embryo stage. It was a world of multicolor, but numerous black holes were vaguely visible within it. The colorful light emitted a powerful gravitation that enabled potent vortexes to take shape. The vortexes tried to crush Zhou Bao’s SwordQi, but the latter just remain unharmed. Instead, the SwordQi dissipated those rays. It even went deep into that macro world and was ready to mince the black holes.

“Things cannot go this way. This is the space of the Treasure-snatching Rock rather than some other place. Only God knows what will happen if I don’t stop the fight as soon as possible!” After a few seconds, Zhou Bao felt that if things kept going like this, it would not be a good thing for either Kong Ti or him. “Kong Ti, you’d better be sensible; otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel!”

“Hahahaha, you are really skilled at boasting about your strength. I’d like to see how cruel you will be!” Kong Ti had absolute confidence in his Five-colored Divine Light. Since it was a Divine Sense that was good at both defense and offense, Kong Ti had the confidence to escape with it even if he were to be struck by the Four Immortal-killing Swords, let alone two streaks of SwordQi.

“Since you refuse to come to your senses, I will be kind and send you to your grave!” Zhou Bao shouted and sword light surged upward behind his head. With a clear sound, he broke the space of this layer, and the sharp SwordQi scattered. Following a strange path, it formed a formidable force that destroyed the better part of the Five-colored Divine Light.

In an instant, the colorful light dimmed. However, the SwordQi still shot out in all directions with good momentum.

“Damn!” Kong Ti perceived that his Five-colored Divine Light had suffered injuries. Although it did not collapse, his mind was stirred up and his heart throbbed. He immediately operated his Dharma power to restore it to its previous condition. As a result, it again shone brightly.

“Huh? There’s something wrong!” The fierce attacks in Kong Ti’s imagination did not appear.* “No, I fell into a trap!”*

He had fallen for Zhou Bao’s trick!

Just as he felt terribly uneasy and hurried to operate his Dharma power, Zhou Bao had already withdrawn his SwordQi and tightened the sword net. He then executed the Three Realms Division and disappeared from this place. All Kong Ti saw was Zhou Bao’s last shadow. When he realized what had happened and wanted to catch up to Zhou Bao, it was too late!

Zhou Bao entered the next layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock at top speed. As soon as he entered it, the Space Passage that his SwordQi had pierced closed. Almost at the same time, the Five-colored Divine Light tore open the passage again, but Zhou Bao had already disappeared without a trace.
