Chapter 384: The Rebellious Decree and the Coming Savior!
Xuan Ge had been crying for a long time on the side.
Ninth Offering could only watch helplessly, unable to think of a single comforting word.
What could he possibly say to comfort her?
“Don’t cry, young master. You’re already powerful enough and you’ve worked hard. At least you’re much stronger than those weaklings!”
“Stop crying. That was a monster; we can’t compare ourselves to a monster!”
One could imagine that if he said such things, Xuan Ge would certainly cry even louder.
Mediocre people cannot comfort geniuses because they cannot understand the troubles of the talented.
Moreover, the one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. It seemed like the only one who could calm the young master down was Zhou Tong.
Unless he could return and actively admit that the previous strike was a special means; otherwise, all emotions would have to be digested by Xuan Ge alone.
“Grandpa Jiu… I’m tired.”
After a moment, Xuan Ge said weakly.
“If you’re tired, take a rest for a bit. After resting, keep crying.”
…
Xuan Ge immediately broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that something was off.
“What I mean is, I’ve already moved on. Just a Zhou Tong can’t bring me down. One day, I will catch up to him!”
“Good! It’s great that you’re thinking this way. The universe is still undecided; it’s not yet known who will prevail!”
Ninth Offering trembled with excitement, disregarding the fact that he was completely broken, twisting his body and making cracking sounds, causing Xuan Ge to gasp.
“Don’t move around. We must leave this place!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft light shone from Xuan Ge’s flowing hair.
“My grandpa worried about my safety and left me a life-protecting talisman, along with three strands of life-saving golden hair which are just useful right now.”
She recited the incantation, causing the three strands of golden hair on her head to fall off, transforming into three files that began to grind at the Five Elements Light Prison.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Accompanied by the teeth-gritting sound, the power of the Five Elements was completely ground away, and at the same time, the three life-saving hairs lost their magical essence, as if it had been preset.
This scene caused a slight heaviness in Xuan Ge’s heart!
Why such a coincidence?
She knew that Zhou Tong could see the future and should not make such a low-level mistake. Could it be that he deliberately wanted to let her go?
In an instant, she fell back into self-doubt, unconsciously beginning to wear herself out.
“Don’t think too much. The worst outcome for us is death. Now that we have the opportunity to escape, what are you hesitating for?”
“You’re right!”
Xuan Ge slapped her forehead and quickly helped Ninth Offering up, realizing that the more one thinks, the more one goes wrong.
“Regardless, it’s a massive stroke of luck that the enemy hasn’t killed us immediately. Let’s run first!”
“Sigh!”
Xuan Ge sighed deeply: “That guy can see far into the future. The reason he let us go must have his own deep meaning!”
“That’s not something we should concern ourselves with. Our lives are not our own. The only choice we have is to escape.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ge nodded in agreement.
“That guy should have gone to find my clone. The clone is bound by a decree, and I weaken, she becomes stronger. Grandpa Jiu, do you think the clone will win?”
“She will die, and there is no room for suspense. In the face of absolute power, even decrees lose their effect!”
Once those words fell, Xuan Ge hesitated no longer and flew in the completely opposite direction while carrying the old man.
“I’m sorry, clone. This is the last time… because there won’t be a second time!”
…
On the other side, in the battle in the Li Family Great Hall, it indeed showed a one-sided trend.
The various Sages joined forces but still couldn’t match a single girl, beaten into a near-retreat.
“What’s going on? Every time we want to make a move, our power is directly stripped away. What kind of rebellious ability is this!”
You Jingfeng gasped for breath, unable to suppress his anger as he cursed. He had never encountered such a strange situation.
At this moment, the only ones who could still maintain their combat ability against Xuan Ge’s clone were the Empress, Little Demoness, Zhong Ningxue, and Sword Saint.
Even so, they were already battered and bruised, contrasting with the calmness of the opponent.
“Damn, it would be great if Master were here!”
Zhong Ningxue said reluctantly. She had activated the Fifty Elephant God King Gu, and perhaps because of the strongest Gu King, she was unaffected by the laws and retained her full combat power.
Based on this foundation, she coordinated with the other three to barely withstand the opponent’s casual attacks.
“Stop daydreaming; that person is currently being dealt with by my clone. She’s probably done for by now.”
Xuan Ge said coldly, gently shattering everyone’s hopes.
“Impossible! My master is unparalleled in the world. How could she lose?”
“A frog in a well, don’t you know that there are heavens beyond heavens?”
Xuan Ge sneered. “Perhaps in your eyes, your master is a peerless genius.”
“But in front of me, geniuses are merely the threshold to meet me. You should not hold too many expectations for her!”
This was a manifestation of someone accustomed to confidence, always thinking of themselves as invincible, able to crush any peer-level opponent!
“Enough of the nonsense!”
Suddenly, a cold light flashed!
A sharp sword aura cut across the crowd, slashing towards the base of Xuan Ge’s neck.
“Self-ignorance!”
Xuan Ge remained indifferent, merely shooting a cold glance. The incoming sword intent became weak and powerless, and even the Sword Saint lost strength, standing crookedly on the spot.
“What a fool, how many times must you try before you understand? I am absolutely not going to lose…”
Before she finished speaking, there was a loud bang as the aura surged again. The Sword Saint gathered his spirit and slashed out a sword, strong and quick, sharp enough to terrify!
With a swipe!
The sound of flesh being cut was heard, and Xuan Ge stumbled back a few steps, the expression on her face turning completely cold.
On the back of her hand was a wound about two or three inches long, with tiny droplets of blood seeping out.
For a Sage, such a wound wouldn’t even count as a scratch, and it would be completely healed within a few blinks.
But for Xuan Ge, this wound was a disgrace.
“I understand now; the decree on you is to strip away all power from those who harbor killing intent against you or attack you, and because of this, you have the courage to face everyone alone!”
This statement startled everyone, as it was just too rebellious.
In battle, it was a contest of will and means, while killing intent was a manifestation of that intent, used to lock onto the enemy, enhance determination, and achieve victory.
The stronger the enemy, the more crucial killing intent becomes.
And yet, the decree on Xuan Ge could directly seal away killing intent. To oppose her, one would have to self-harm, otherwise, one could only surrender.
How could this be fought? Unless someone could descend like a god, pinning her down with a single finger, there would be no need to use killing intent.
However, this woman was a natural supreme being with the cultivation of the Third Layer of Sage. Even at full strength, she might only be able to contend with an Intermediate Sage; who could possibly crush her?
“Let me come!”
At this moment, the Sword Saint struck again!
This sword held grand vigor, flowing freely, without a hint of killing intent.
It could only be said that he was worthy of his title; he quickly adapted to the opponent’s style, allowing everyone to see a glimmer of hope.
“Wordless Wisdom Root? Quite interesting…”
Xuan Ge couldn’t help but chuckle.
“If you were in peak condition and unaffected by the decree, I might have some interest in fighting you, but now…”
Before her words fell, she reached out her finger to pinch the sword’s edge, forcefully extinguishing its sharpness, preventing it from advancing even an inch!
“Poof!!”
The Sword Saint spat blood, his chest pressed down by her palm, suffering severe internal injuries and temporarily incapable of fighting again.
This scene left everyone in despair; they finally remembered that even without the decree, Xuan Ge was a terrifying opponent.
“What a bunch of pitiful insects, let me help you find liberation.”
She even wore a look of empathy in her eyes, standing on a mound of ruins, looking down at everything below.
However, no sooner had she spoken than a figure descended from the sky, heavily landing beside the ruined hill, stirring up a cloud of dust!
“How is this possible? You were clearly already taken down!”
Seeing this person, even Xuan Ge couldn’t help but be taken aback, while the others rejoiced loudly as if they had seen their savior!
“Master, you finally returned!”
Zhong Ningxue smiled the widest; no matter how great a natural supreme being, they were just nothing in front of her master!
