The King Spirit's Killing Intent
The king spirit was fast, and it disappeared from where it stood.
When the king spirit left, Yao Xiong, who was wearing a golden robe, sighed in relief. He said, "Luckily, the king spirit didn't see through my disguise. Otherwise, I'd be in trouble."
After Yao Xiong finished speaking, he took off an almost transparent mask on his face with his right hand, revealing a youthful face that was quite pleasing to the eye.
The young man was none other than the black-clothed Zhuowen.
Zhuowen had planned to kill the king spirit, but something unexpected had happened. He hadn't expected the king spirit to be so powerful.
If Zhuo Wen used his trump card to fight the king spirit, the chances of him winning would be fifty-fifty. There was a good chance they'd both end up injured.
He might have even sacrificed one of his clones. Zhuowen had decided to have the black-clothed Zhuowen pretend to be Yao Xiong.
He wanted the king spirit to think that Yao Xiong had been using him.
Although the process had been difficult, it had still worked.
The king spirit had been forced to use a secret skill, and the side effects would be great. The king spirit would hate Yao Xiong.
If they met again, they'd fight.
Zhuowen walked up to the Defiant and asked, "Where is the king spirit now?"
The Defiant smiled and waved his sleeves. The transparent veins on his chest began to intertwine, forming a red pattern.
If one looked closely, they could see that the red pattern was a map of a certain location.
This map was the map of the entire interior of the ruins.
"The king spirit is here, and Yao Xiong is here. They are almost opposite each other. It will be difficult to meet them." The Defiant pointed at the two red dots on the pattern.
"Can we let them meet?"
Zhuowen looked at the Defiant. He knew that the man had absolute control over the Luo God Palace Ruins.
If he hadn't held back and entered the ruins, he would have been killed by the Defiant.
Thinking of this, Zhuowen felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, Zhuowen had been careful. He'd taken the Blood of the Sky, and he'd taken control of the Defiant and Martyr.
The Dao Defiant spoke proudly, "Yes. These ruins have always been operating under the control of my illusions. So, even an expert in the Dao of Formations would probably be affected and controlled by me upon entering these ruins."
"Mm, then let the two of them meet. As long as the two of them start fighting each other, I will take action to finish them off," Zhuo Wen said with a cold look in his eyes.
The Defiant nodded and said, "The king spirit used a secret skill to increase his power. The side effects. He's tired. He won't be able to defeat Yao Xiong."
"Huh?
Yao Xiong is only at the Sixth Step of the Void Sky Realm, but the king spirit is at the peak of the Seventh Step. Even if the king spirit is injured, it won't be easy for Yao Xiong to kill him, right? "Zhuowen said with surprise.
The Defiant shook his head and said, "You haven't fought Yao Xiong, so you don't know how terrifying he is!
Besides, Yao Xiong isn't simple. He's noticed the strangeness of the ruins, and he's trying to break through my illusion. If he really does encounter an injured king spirit, then the king spirit has the highest chance of dying. "
Zhuowen frowned. He thought for a moment, and then he took out two drops of Heavenly Domain Starry Essence and said, "Put these two drops of Heavenly Domain Starry Essence where the king spirit must pass, and then let them meet."
The Defiant took a deep look at Zhuowen. When Zhuowen was in the Formless Formation, the Defiant knew that Zhuowen had an extremely large amount of Heavenly Domain Starry Essence, so he wasn't surprised that Zhuowen had taken out two drops of Heavenly Domain Starry Essence.
"Alright, I'll ask the Martyr to take it to where the king spirit must pass!"
As he spoke, the Defiant passed the jade bottle that contained the two drops of Heavenly Domain Starry Essence to one of the Martyrs behind him.
After that, the Martyr walked towards the rock wall at the side with a blank expression, and then his entire body fused into the rock wall like a weak stream of water.
It wasn't long before the Martyr appeared by the Defiant's side once more. Obviously, he'd placed the Heavenly Domain Starry Essence there.
"It's time for a good show!"
The corners of Zhuowen's mouth curled up slightly as he leaned against the rock wall and muttered in a low voice.
A figure that was in a rather sorry state flashed through a dark passageway, and then he stopped on a rock wall while gasping for breath with a pale countenance.
"Yao Xiong, I really never expected that you've been deceiving me all this time. I'll definitely kill you once I've recovered!"
It was the king spirit that had fled, and his eyes were filled with resentment at this moment.
He'd suffered a great loss at the end of the passageway.
First, he'd been hit by the Defiant's illusion, then he'd been bound by the terrifying ice lotus, and then he'd been ambushed by Zhuowen.
In fact, his injuries were quite serious, and he'd used a secret technique to forcibly break free from the ice lotus. It could be said that his injuries had worsened.
If Yao Xiong hadn't appeared, the king spirit might've tried to kill Zhuowen even at the cost of his injuries.
But Yao Xiong had appeared, so he'd retreated at that moment.
Although Yao Xiong's cultivation was lower than his, the king spirit knew that Yao Xiong couldn't be compared to an ordinary Void Sky Liudeng. Yao Xiong was much stronger than the Void Sky Liudeng, and he had many trump cards.
Even if the king spirit was at his peak, he wasn't 655% sure that he could kill Yao Xiong. At that time, the king spirit's injuries were too severe, and if he couldn't kill Yao Xiong in one blow, he would've died there.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, the king spirit finally retreated.
Once his injuries were healed, he would settle the previous debt with Yao Xiong.
"And that little bastard Zhuo Wen. I didn't expect that bastard to be in cahoots with Yao Xiong. They were just putting on a show right from the start. I almost believed them. My poor Black Lightning fell just like that."
Thinking of the black horse that had accompanied him for thousands of years, the king spirit's heart ached.
King Spirit slowly leaned against the wall and placed his right hand on the wall behind him. He frowned.
"Huh?"
The king spirit felt a bump in his right hand. He gently pressed the bump, and the bump sank into the wall.
Creak!
On his right, a secret door that was several feet wide appeared.
Inside the secret door, a sparkling and translucent jade bottle was quietly placed inside.
The king spirit looked at the jade bottle and said to himself, "Yao Xiong and I have been searching the ruins for five or six days, but we didn't find anything. Now that we're alone, I'm surprised I've come across something like this."
"I don't know what's inside."
The king spirit was a little cautious. He picked up the jade bottle and opened the cork. Then, a surge of medicinal power rushed into the sky.
This medicinal power was very strange. At the top of the passage, a huge shadow appeared. Countless galaxies were arranged. It was a spectacular sight.
"This is … Heavenly Star Essence."
The king spirit trembled. He was stunned. Then, he raised his head and laughed. His eyes were full of ecstasy.
"I didn't expect it to be the Heavenly Star Essence. I really didn't expect it.
God is helping me! "
The king spirit's eyes were cold. "Yao Xiong, you deceived me. I, the king spirit, will not let this go."
"No wonder when we searched the ruins for treasures, we didn't find anything. It seems that we were tricked by you. The real good things have been taken by Zhuowen.
Then, the two of you will share the loot.
Even the Heavenly Blood has been taken by the two of you. Today, I, the king spirit, can get the Heavenly Star Essence. If I don't kill you, the heavens will not forgive me. "
After saying that, the king spirit snorted and took a drop of Heavenly Star Essence. He felt refreshed and his injuries were instantly healed.
"The Heavenly Star Essence is worthy of its name. It can really heal injuries in an instant."
The king spirit carefully put away the jade bottle. There was still a drop of Heavenly Star Essence in it. He must keep it safe. If his life was hanging by a thread, this thing could be a life-saving straw.
"Yao Xiong, Zhuowen, don't let me find you here. Otherwise, I'll make you die a horrible death!"
The king spirit's eyes were like frost. Like a flash of lightning in the dark night, he quickly swept forward. His overbearing Divine Sense swept around unscrupulously.
At this moment, the king spirit's cultivation had been restored to its peak. Even if Yao Xiong was not simple, the king spirit was not afraid. And with the drop of Heavenly Star Essence in his possession, he was even more fearless.
The king spirit returned to the place where Zhuowen had attacked him, but found that Zhuowen and Yao Xiong were no longer there.
"Let's leave this passage first."
The king spirit whispered in a low voice. There were dozens of passages in front of him. This was where he and Yao Xiong had parted ways.
If the king spirit wanted to find Yao Xiong and Zhuowen, he would have to go to other passages. The king spirit even suspected that Yao Xiong had the secret passage in the ruins.
Thinking of this, the king spirit suspected that Yao Xiong had been playing with him all this time. The real good things had been taken by Yao Xiong, and the Heavenly Blood was no exception.
When the king spirit came out of the passage and arrived at the intersection, his eyes immediately fell on a man in a golden brocade robe not far in front of him.
The man in the golden brocade robe was none other than Yao Xiong.
Yao Xiong also noticed the king spirit, and just as he was about to greet him, he saw the king spirit's eyes. He frowned and looked puzzled.
"Brother Di, you just came out. I didn't find anything in the passage before. What did you find?" Although Yao Xiong was surprised by the king spirit's strange behavior, he still asked politely.
