章節 630: Chapter 629: Encounter

The Immeasurable Old Ancestor waved his hand, and a torrent of black seawater surged out from the space behind him. A strange seal gradually appeared in his hand, and the black seawater in front of him instantly turned into a huge black cauldron that shot violently towards Miss Jing.

Miss Jing tried to mobilize the Spiritual Energy within her body upon seeing this, but under the surging aura, she ended up coughing out another mouthful of blood.

'Damn it, am I really going to fall into the hands of this old lecher today?'

At this point, despair inevitably crept into Miss Jing's heart. As a Perfected Earth Sovereign, the Spiritual Energy within her was immense. Unfortunately, due to the previous secret realm, her strength was almost completely depleted. Now, she was running into such an old lecher after barely escaping. Her luck was truly atrociously bad.

Biting her lip, she held a jade hairpin to her chest as she watched the huge black cauldron approaching. Even if she were to die, she would not allow herself to be defiled by such a person.

"Perverted scoundrel, stop!"

At this critical moment, a delicate shout echoed from the dense forest.

A streak of black light flashed by, and the giant black cauldron in the air instantly shattered and dissipated. After that, the black light flew back as the cauldron disappeared.

"Who dares to ruin this old man's fun? Show yourself!"

The Immeasurable Old Ancestor shouted towards the forest, his face extremely ugly. The consecutive incidents had worn down his already limited patience.

Rustle!

A rustling sound came from the forest, and soon, two exceptionally good-looking figures, a man and a woman, emerged from among the trees.

Both appeared to be young. The man looked to be in his early twenties. He wore a golden robe, and his long hair was neatly tied. His features were clean and sharp, perfectly balanced; adding or subtracting anything would disturb his exquisite appearance. The smile on his lips made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, yet it carried an inexplicable sense of majesty.

Even the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, who had lived for thousands of years, had to admit that this man was the most outstanding person in terms of appearance and temperament he had ever seen.

However, in this world, one relied on strength rather than appearance. So, after carefully observing him, the Immeasurable Old Ancestor did not regard the man as a threat. Instead, his gaze, filled with lecherous intent, was fixed on the slender figure beside him, whose aura was stronger.

The young lady was dressed in a black robe with a mysterious pattern of dark gold along the edges, subtly giving off an aura of solemnity and nobility.

She had a calm and beautiful face, with skin and hair as white as snow, eyebrows arched like crescent moons, a straight and delicate nose, and especially those honey-colored eyes, tranquil as deep pools, resembling the deepest night sky. Beneath their serenity lay an endless sense of mystery that irresistibly drew people into its depths.

She was no less stunning than the girl in the white dress!

'Looks like this old ancestor's luck with the ladies is not bad today.'

The anger in the Immeasurable Old Ancestor's heart diminished slightly.

"Hmph, was it you two who sneak-attacked this old ancestor just now?"

Although it was phrased as a question, the tone of the Immeasurable Old Ancestor was certain. The young lady's jade-like hands held a huge black scythe covered with complex and mysterious symbols. It was clear that this was the weapon used to attack him just now.

The man and woman were naturally Xiao Ming and Qing Tan. Facing the question of the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, Qing Tan raised her eyes defiantly. "And what if it was? You, an old lecher, old enough to be on your deathbed, yet you come here to prey on women. A scoundrel like you deserves nothing but death!"

"Sharp-tongued, huh? You want to stand up for others, yet you fail to consider whether you have the strength to back it up."

The Immeasurable Old Ancestor sneered disdainfully as he released a bit of his Sovereign Aura. Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, and the clouds in the sky churned as if signaling the end of days.

Puff, puff, puff!

Even though the Immeasurable Old Ancestor didn't specifically target them, the camp was still filled with the sound of people spitting blood due to his overwhelming aura.

This scene made the Immeasurable Old Ancestor somewhat pleased. However, when he looked at Xiao Ming and Qing Tan again, he was somewhat surprised. Why did these two seem unaffected?

The woman could be understood to some extent since she was at the Quasi-Sovereign Stage, but how could that pretty boy also appear unharmed?

Could it be...

The Immeasurable Old Ancestor's gaze became uncertain and finally settled on the black scythe in Qing Tan's hand. Just by staring at it, he felt a chill running down his spine, as if the scythe was a harbinger of death itself.

This was a divine artifact!

That's right, a divine artifact must protect them!

The surge of Spiritual Energy just now must have been caused by this divine artifact.

'Haha, who would have thought that this woman, after obtaining a divine artifact, wouldn't leave but instead would bring it directly to me? Truly, the heavens are helping me!'

"Beauty, hand over that divine artifact and serve this old man for ten years, and I can overlook your offense today." The Immeasurable Old Ancestor's voice softened slightly in his joy.

"Alas, what a tragedy!"

"Is there really no one who can deal with this demon?"

The men in the camp were all deeply grieved when they saw that yet another woman of unparalleled beauty was about to suffer at the hands of the villain. However, the overwhelming pressure made them too afraid to speak out for fear that even a single word would turn them into minced meat.

'... Relying on a newly acquired divine artifact of unknown rank that just came into her hands doesn't make her a match for a Sovereign. Sigh, even others have been dragged down.'

Looking at the black scythe, Miss Jing was also successfully misled by the Immeasurable Old Ancestor.

Both of them overlooked Xiao Ming who was standing next to Qing Tan. It was not because he had no Spiritual Energy fluctuation, but because it was too weak, almost as if he had just started recultivating.

If it weren't for Qing Tan by his side, Miss Jing might have suspected that this man was a powerful individual from a lower plane, but with a Quasi-Sovereign at his side acting quite intimate, she had to dismiss the thought.

"You old rag are so ugly that it should be considered a crime, and yet you still dare to aspire to beauties beyond your reach!"Qing Tan chuckled scornfully, her words instantly darkening the expression on the face of the Immeasurable Old Ancestor.

"Hmph, refusing the toast just to drink the forfeit! In that case, I'll capture you first, and then I'll seize that Spiritual Array Master!"

Boom!

The Immeasurable Old Ancestor stamped his foot, causing the black sea to churn as towering waves converged, forming a massive black trident hundreds of meters tall that shot down from the sky.

Thud!

Even before it landed, the area within dozens of miles was affected, with countless tall trees swaying and falling in all directions.

This was the Immeasurable Old Ancestor restraining his strength, after all, his goal was to capture, not to kill outright.

Qing Tan did not utter another in retort, but anger was evident on her fair cheeks as she tightly gripped the scythe. Just as she was about to swing it, a warm hand reached out from beside her, halting her action.

Her gaze shifted to Xiao Ming beside her. At this moment, Xiao Ming's expression remained calm, as if he didn't care about what the Immeasurable Old Ancestor had said earlier. However, those who knew Xiao Ming understood that anyone who dared to prey on women in front of him had only one fate: death!

Moreover, the target of the abduction was his own disciple.

This time, Xiao Ming had no intention of letting the Immeasurable Old Ancestor die an easy death.

"Step back, this old thing is a seventh-grade Sovereign, you are still no match for him."

With that said, Xiao Ming raised his hand to the sky and clashed violently with the tip of the trident.

Whoosh!

A terrifying shockwave swept through, causing the entire area to go into a frenzy. The fierce winds raged like a violent storm, leaving the land around the camp in a state of chaos and causing countless beasts in the Northern Spiritual Plains to flee in terror.

Silence fell after the rampage, only to be shattered by an incredulous cry.

"H-How is this possible! How could the physical body of this pretty boy be so strong!"

The face of the Immeasurable Old Ancestor twisted in disbelief. He couldn't accept that this person hadn't used any Spiritual Energy, yet he was able to break his attack with just one hand.

And not only did he block the attack, but he didn't even seem to be injured, not a single hair on his head out of place!
