C637 – The Old Man in Black
“How dare you!”
Witnessing the little girl charging towards them, one of the men in black emanated a chilling aura of lethality.
Tongtian wielded considerable power. It was one thing to disregard them, but to confront them head-on, especially by a mere child, was beyond disrespect. How could they not respond in earnest?
“You still have the audacity to attack?”
A gentle voice resonated as Loong Linshuang produced her small bell.
The assailant was momentarily stupefied, feeling as though his head had been turned into mush.
While he was still dazed, the girl’s brush made contact with the other’s forehead.
“Boom!”
A tremendous explosion ensued, birthing a profound rupture in the Great Dao.
Fuming with anger, the girl delivered a swift kick, causing the man’s body to instantaneously disintegrate into a cloud of blood mist.
“This…”
“This…”
Both sides were dumbstruck.
The black-clad individuals gazed at the young girl in astonishment, struggling to comprehend her considerable power.
Observing the black-clad figures across from them on the Divine Ship, everyone marveled at the apparent frailty of these warriors of the Extreme Tao Stage.
Even without Loong Linshuang’s intervention earlier, the young girl could have easily dispatched her adversary.
Initially daunted by the presence of a group of Extreme Tao Stage warriors, their fear now transformed into determination as their Qi surged. Over a dozen Space Pirates charged toward the black-clad figures.
Inspired by their boss’s display of courage, others joined in, eager to make their mark.
“Weng!”
At that precise moment, a formidable aura suddenly manifested within the Void.
With his sudden appearance, the man unleashed a devastating palm strike. In an instant, the dozen or so individuals dispatched from the Divine Ship were reduced to a mist of blood scattered within the Void.
“A worthless bunch!”
The man cast a cold glare at the black-clad figures, his voice ringing with fury.
“Restore the Divine Ship!”
Taoist Immortal Jiang felt a shiver run down his spine.
The man’s strength was overwhelming. Faced with such power, more than a dozen of his comrades had no hope of resisting.
“Hmph!”
Loong Linshuang brandished her tiny claws, propelling the small bell swiftly toward the approaching figure.
“You’re asking for death!”
Draped entirely in black garb, with only two eye-holes revealing his gaze, the individual appeared to be an elderly man.
Emitting a disdainful snort, the old man forcefully struck his palm against the bell.
“Tongtian, remember your purpose. These individuals must perish!”
Uttering these words, the black-clad elder’s gaze fixed upon Nannan amidst the crowd, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
Extending his finger, a brilliant beam of light shot forth, piercing through the heavens and earth.
“His aim is the young miss, and he seeks to safeguard her!”
Taoist Immortal Jiang swiftly interposed himself before Nannan, shielding her. Yet, upon contact with the luminous beam, he was promptly hurled backward, coughing up blood.
His body impaled.
“Boss!” The Space Pirates witnessing the spectacle expressed deep concern, shouting aloud.
“Stay back!”
Taoist Immortal Jiang raised his hand, propelling himself skyward with a forceful slap.
The primary target of the black-clad old man remained Nannan; disregarding Taoist Immortal Jiang, he persisted in his assault on her.
“Woof!”
The dog’s eyes bulged in alarm as it pivoted, attempting to impede his progress.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
Tongtian’s aura condensed intensely, forming a barrier in front of the dog.
“Mo, what do you think you’re doing? Surely you’re not considering eliminating me as well?”
Positioned before Tongtian, the young girl brandished her brush, causing a sudden eruption of ink.
In an instant, Tongtian’s eyes gleamed brightly as a Great Dao materialized unexpectedly. It wasn’t of his own volition; rather, it was forcibly drawn out by the young girl.
Without hesitation, Tongtian swiftly retreated!
“Tongtian!”
The elder seethed with anger. Despite the unconventional methods employed by the young girl, the manifestation of the Great Dao didn’t compromise Tongtian’s strength. He chose not to engage.
“I am no match for this canine!”
Tongtian’s tone was icy. He remained unfazed by the elder’s admonition.
“Bang!”
Sensing Tongtian’s lingering sentiment towards their old bond, the dog relinquished pursuit of Tongtian and advanced toward the elderly man clad in black, launching a clawed strike.
The elderly man, unwilling to confront the dog directly, exhibited fear in his eyes upon witnessing the canine’s assault. Swiftly, he turned and evaded the attack.
Momentarily taken aback, the dog pondered: the old man’s prowess surpassed Tongtian’s, so why did he retreat upon encountering it?
Witnessing this spectacle, not only the dog but also all the black-clad men, Tongtian included, were bewildered. They gazed blankly at the elderly man in black.
Following his evasion, the elderly man’s narrowed eyes glinted with fury as he bellowed at the dog, “Perish!”
A violent aura erupted, engulfing all present.
“Incredibly formidable!”
Utterly terrifying!
The elderly man’s strength likely exceeded their wildest imaginations.
Despite the possibility that even the dog might be outmatched, it stood its ground, resolutely shielding Nannan.
“Father, defeat him!”
Little Guo Guo clutched the tiny bell, her voice innocent yet determined.
“Hmph, do you truly believe I’m someone to be trifled with?”
Nannan glared angrily at the elderly figure cloaked in black. Somehow, she sensed a peculiar familiarity emanating from him.
Despite her lack of cultivation in the Great Dao, her strength rivaled that of her father’s. With a single step, she sent tremors rippling through the entire Divine Ship, nearly causing it to topple.
Relying solely on her physical prowess to remain suspended in the Void, Nannan thrust her small wooden sword forward abruptly.
“Uncle Dog, hold back. I intend to deal with him myself!”
This time, Nannan seethed with genuine fury.
A resounding clash echoed.
The small wooden sword met the opponent’s palm, causing Nannan to recoil more than ten steps backward. Each step she took caused explosions in the Void beneath her feet.
Although the opponent stood firm, the fluctuations in his aura betrayed his precarious situation.
“So, it appears you’re merely mediocre!”
Nannan erupted with a shout, relinquishing the small wooden sword as she thrust her fist forward directly.
Regarding Nannan, the other party cast a gaze filled with complexity. Suddenly, his spiritual energy surged forth, ensnaring Nannan directly within the Void.
“Youngster, logically, I shouldn’t end your life. However, only your demise will perturb Zhang Xuan’s Dao heart. I regret this!”
As the elder in black garments uttered these words, his palm met Nannan’s clenched fist.
Just as his palm poised to strike, the Void trembled unexpectedly.
Initially indifferent, the black-clad elder found himself confronted by a hand silently rending the Void, reaching out as though intending to crush him.
Emitting a disdainful snort, the black-clad elder prepared to obliterate the intruding hand, yet his brows furrowed suddenly.
A sensation of foreboding washed over him!
Peril!
This intuition bespoke the expertise of a seasoned practitioner.
Before he could fully grasp this realization, the hand seized his head, applying pressure.
“Bang!”
Accompanied by an explosive reverberation, his head erupted.
Swiftly evading the subsequent assault from the hand, the black-clad elder maneuvered to safety.
A surge of spiritual energy ensued, restoring his severed head. He stared incredulously at the adjacent Void.
A figure materialized within the sight of all present…
