Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 164: Battle Against General 2

"Why, can’t I?" Liu Xian’s face was entirely red. Being looked down on just then was clearly an extremely uncomfortable feeling. His usual frivolousness was nowhere to be seen, and he said with a serious expression, "I was the one who caused this disaster, so I’ll take responsibility in settling it."

Without another word, he charged back into the battlefield. He exclaimed, "As a son of the Liu clan, burning up blood essence is something I can do as well!" His eyes turned entirely red as he spoke. His hair rose on end, and his aura rose as well. Only, it came to a screeching halt halfway. Unlike the others who had reached the eighth rank, his aura stopped at the peak of the sixth rank. It didn’t even reach the seventh rank.

Wei Pingyang sneered. "There’s no need for you all to feel conflicted. No one will be able to leave today!"

Sharky’s expression changed. He reached out his hand and pushed. A huge wave of strength sent Catherine and the others several dozen li away. He stayed behind to stop Wei Pingyang and the others.

Wei Pingyang sneered. "Mister Sharky, you can’t even win against me alone, yet you want to stop all of us? Where do you get your courage from?"

"How would I know that I can’t stop you if I don’t try?" Sharky stood there alone with his sword, facing the three guardians of King George Manor, Wei Pingyang, He Li, and Mu Ping.

Catherine turned around and gave Sharky a deep look. Her fingernails were about to dig into her skin.

If anything happens to you, I’ll do my best to survive and get revenge for you! I’ll make sure that there is not even a single living soul left in all of King George Manor! There was a resolute expression full of hatred in her eyes.

Even so, at that moment, she was praying inwardly, Sharky, you have to survive!

Meanwhile, Sharky has already started fighting against the two guardians, He Li and Mu Ping. These two were both ninth ranked cultivators, one at the peak of the ninth rank and one at the mid stage. They didn’t treat Sharky as a big deal at all.

They thought he was a nobody that they could easily crush, but Sharky’s movement technique was extremely strange, and he knew all sorts of skills and techniques. The two of them were having quite a hard time, and only by working together could they barely hold on.

The two of them were horrified. Just how old was this kid? Why was his cultivation so formidable? This should have been impossible, even if he had cultivated ever since he came out of his mother’s womb!

Wei Pingyang had originally planned to chase after Catherine and the others, but he discovered that his companions actually couldn’t take down Sharky. He stopped out of shock, ordering them, "You two, chase after the crown prince and the others. Leave this one to me."

He was worried that something might happen if he left these two with Sharky, so he decided to just face him himself. The crown prince’s group was already seriously injured, so two ninth ranked experts should be more than enough to hunt them down.

The two guardians’ faces turned red. They couldn’t defeat a junior even after fighting all this time! It really was shameful. However, they knew how important this matter was, so they didn’t dare to waste time and let side issues keep growing.

Furthermore, if they took out the crown prince and princess, that would be a huge contribution in itself. That was why they only hesitated for a moment before agreeing with Wei Pingyang’s arrangements.

"The two of you are fighting me!" Sharky exclaimed, using Buzzshock powers to intercept the two of them.

Wei Pingyang’s face darkened. "No, your opponent is me!" The flying sword in front of him turned into a streak of light. It was so fast the sword itself became a blur. It continued to attack Sharky from all sorts of different angles.

Sharky used the Zoom ability to dodge left and right. Unfortunately, he was still a bit too slow. Blood splashed out from his body again and again, as he was actually struck several times.

Wei Pingyang exclaimed indifferently, "How can a petty firefly’s light dare to compare to the splendor of the moon?! You don’t understand what the concept of the master rank is! Even someone with trifling cultivation like you wants to fight against me?"

Even though Sharky’s cultivation was already quite excellent, what did it matter? As long as he hadn’t reached the master rank, he didn’t pose Wei Pingyang any threat. He was only a stronger ant.

Sharky’s face darkened. "Why are you acting so cocky just because you’re at the master rank? I’ve even fought against grandmasters, yet they never acted as smug as you.".

"Grandmaster?" Wei Pingyang felt as if he’d heard something hilarious. "You can’t even defeat me, yet you want to fight against a grandmaster? A brat like you really knows how to let things get to your head."

A streak of light flashed out. Sharky quickly blocked, holding his sword in front of his chest. With a loud clang, his fingers went numb and the Sword almost fell out of his grip.

Wei Pingyang stood there with his hands behind him, looking calm and relaxed. His flying sword formed an impenetrable net around him. He was completely unfazed no matter how Sharky attacked. He even had the leisure to look toward his two companions and remark, "What are you two staring stupidly for? Get going already and chase after the crown prince."

The two of them seemed to snap out of their daze. They were just about to leave suddenly, but Sharky’s next attack killed them.

And then he seized a chance to draw closer, and then thrust his Sword at Wei Pingyang’s body. This battle would be decided if he could even lightly nick Wei Pingyang. But instead of some pain, he heard a metallic noise.

Wei Pingyang brought out a cracked jade pendant from his inner pocket. His expression gradually became warped and sinister as he exclaimed, "You actually destroyed my life-saving treasure?! Only if I hack your body into a thousand pieces can I let go of this resentment!"

Sharky sighed in pity. This was a master rank, so as expected, he had some life saving treasures. Now that his attack had failed, there probably wouldn’t be a second chance.

Sure enough, Wei Pingyang’s gaze shifted to Sharky’s dagger. "That black dagger could actually instantly break through my defenses? I actually felt the threat of death just now. Looks like it’s a divine weapon. I’ll take it to compensate for the loss of my pendant."

A terrifying aura shrouded Sharky as Wei Pingyang spoke, making him feel as if his entire body were stuck in a swamp. Even just moving became extremely difficult.

A malicious grin appeared on Wei Pingyang’s face when he saw Sharky wrapped within his technique. "Just go to hell!" he exclaimed.

The flying sword in his hands vibrated with noise, and white mist suddenly emerged from behind it. Immediately afterward, an ear-splitting boom followed. This was a result of the flying sword breaking the sound barrier!

Furthermore, Sharky was currently trapped in his technique right now. Wei Pingyang smirked. Once this guy died, he didn’t have to worry about anyone else on the crown prince’s side. Even though he had lost a life saving treasure, that pitch-black dagger was definitely more than enough compensation.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure surged from Sharky’s position. Even Lu Xiao, who was focused on recovering, couldn’t help but open his eyes in shock as he looked in Sharky’s direction. How could there be such a terrifying pressure? Even he felt an urge to kneel.

As the main target of the pressure, Wei Pingyang was affected even more. His entire body turned deathly pale, and he began to shake uncontrollably. His knees buckled, and then he dropped from the sky, kneeling on the ground.

This was the Tai’e Sword’s Domain of Power!

Sharky felt the pressure around him immediately lessen. He didn’t hesitate and charged straight at Wei Pingyang.

However, a figure flickered in front of Wei Pingyang, blocking Sharky’s strike of inevitable death for him.

Sharky was stunned. This person was another of King George Manor’s guardians, Mu Ping. Why would he step out just then to block this blade for Wei Pingyang? Were the guardians that close to each other? He should have hesitated for a moment even if Wei Pingyang were his own father, right?

While Sharky was confused, Mu Ping didn’t look at him. Instead, he turned to look at Wei Pingyang, murmuring, "You..."

Unfortunately, the Tai’e sword power had already activated. Mu Ping’s entire body was covered in black runes and he perished.

Meanwhile, Wei Pingyang finally recovered given the opportunity. He was a master rank cultivator, after all. Even something like the Domain of Power could only make him lose his composure for a moment. He controlled his flying sword, sending it at Sharky’s wrist.

Sharky quickly pulled back. Unfortunately, he was still a bit too late. He felt a sharp pain from his left hand, and then he could no longer hold onto his Poisonous Prick.

"Hahaha, your wrist’s tendons have been cut!" Wei Pingyang exclaimed, still feeling some lingering fear. He had never expected that a glorious master rank cultivator like him could have almost died twice because of this opponent.

Sharky clutched his wrist and remained silent. If it were anyone else, that entire hand would have been lost after being struck by the flying sword. However, his body was tough enough that it hadn’t crippled him.

What he couldn’t understand was why Mu Ping would block that blade for Wei Pingyang. Otherwise, Wei Pingyang would already be dead.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao helped clear up Sharky’s doubts by exclaiming, "Wei Pingyang, you actually set up a puppet curse on Mu Ping?"

He Li stayed far away, his eyes full of anger and fear as he looked at Wei Pingyang.

A puppet curse, as the name stated, would turn someone into one’s puppet. Nothing strange could be detected normally, but if their master’s life were in danger, they would immediately prioritize saving their master over everything else.

The skill was incredibly vicious, and its conditions were also harsh. That was why it had always been denounced by the world. Those who practiced this technique had practically all been wiped out. No one had expected King George Manor’s guardian Wei Pingyang to possess such a malicious skill.

Wei Pingyang said indifferently, "If I hadn’t just happened to pick up this skill, I would’ve already been done in by that brat. If I died, Brother Lu, you wouldn’t have any chance of living either."

His vigilance had increased greatly when his life saving pendant broke. He had been worried that the opponent might have some other unpredictable skills, so he’d decided to use the puppet curse on Mu Ping, who was closest to him.

Among the guardians, his relationship with Mu Ping was quite good, and he understood the other person’s cultivation the best. Mu Ping didn’t have any reservations against him either, making the curse easier to apply. If he had used the puppet curse on anyone else, unless their cultivation was as high as Mu Ping’s, the effects definitely wouldn’t have been as good.

Lu Xiao didn’t say anything in response when he heard those words. He was at a key point in his recovery. If Sharky had killed Wei Pingyang and then attacked him, he wouldn’t have been able to stop him at all.

Wei Pingyang continued, "With things already as they are, it’s meaningless even if you blame me. We need to kill this little bastard first, then complete the mission our king gave us."

Lu Xiao nodded. "You’re right. Completing the king’s mission is top priority right now. He Li, what are you dilly-dallying for? Why aren’t you dealing with that woman and chasing after the crown prince?!"

He Li was quite troubled. But when Lu Xiao spoke King George’s name, he couldn’t argue against it. He could only harrumph and say, "I’ve got it already."

Sharky then used the Mindmummy ability, and those from King George Manor who had lower cultivation suddenly turned their spears on their comrades. The battlefield quickly became chaotic.

Meanwhile, a large group of beasts suddenly appeared in their surroundings. Even though the strongest were only beasts on the level of Giant White Wolves, their numbers were too great. They immediately charged at the people there, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"What the hell is going on?" Those from King George Manor were alarmed. Even Lu Xiao and Wei Pingyang were confused.

They weren’t able to understand why their companions had suddenly gone crazy; and then these beasts? Why had they run out?

They obviously couldn’t have known that it was the result of Sharky using his Mindmummy powers to control some nearby creatures to disturb the nests of vicious beasts and bring them over.
