Chapter 160 The Dark Saint Spear

—

Until the black figure with great momentum disappeared, the quiet crowd started to get alive.

Their voices were very soft and small at the beginning, so careful that they sounded like whispers. After a full ten minutes, the volume of the crowd began to return to normal.

The battlefield was at peace again.

The twisted airflow became stable without all the strong forces, the ice chips and the fire were still floating everywhere. The mild breeze was blowing, the grassland looked rotten, and countless ashes after the burning were flying in the air until they reached the rivers nearby. The flat ground was already a mess, and within the distance of a thousand meters where the fire tornado had been, it was all ruined and desolated. The audience that came from all the dark superpowers were standing at the front of the battlefield, watching everything in front of them and thinking about something.

That earth-swallowing tornado and world-shattering black wave were still there, and the invincible sword intent spread to the highest spot of the firmament. The sword and the flowing light were still crashing each other in the dark domain. The hallucination-like shadow was still clear, lifting the sword edge and crushing the mountains and rivers.

The whispers continued for a few minutes and then went down.

Today’s battle lasted less than ten minutes from beginning to end, but it could be the peak battle of Gods in the Dark World in the past twenty years. The result was quite obvious, and yet confusing.

But everyone knew that, after this battle, the ranking on the Divine List would have a small change in the near future.

“Gu Xingyun, lost?”

In the crowd, someone suddenly said in a small voice.

It was dead silence in the crowd again.

He lost.

Now the result was very obvious, but what exactly happened to Gu Xingyun?

It was meant to be a life-and-death battle, and now the result was clear, but Gu Xingyun was nowhere to be found.

Everything happened too fast at the moment when black and white crashed into each other. That was the most brilliant part of the final battle, but everyone missed it.

Gu Xingyun disappeared, was he dead or alive?

Such an intense battle ended in such an inexplicable way. Everyone seemed smoldering at that moment.

In the crowd, Tianhai Wuji suddenly turned and looked around him, then he frowned and said, “Where is Principal Zhuang?”

As the Principal of the Sky Academy, Zhuang Huayang was the real host and was also in charge of the reception of all the audience. When they reached the Sky Academy, the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State, Wang Tianzong, only showed up once before disappearing, in order to keep his intimidation of the top one on the Divine List. In the rest of the time, Zhuang Huayang was in charge of the reception.

But when everyone started to look around, Zhuang Huayang, who was still sitting with them with a smiley face a short while ago, disappeared completely without anyone noticing.

“Besides, did you guys notice one thing? It seemed awfully quiet today in the Sky Academy.”

Liusheng Cangquan walked out and suddenly said.

The crowd was stunned again.

It was already around eight o’clock in the morning.

At this time in normal days, the freshmen of the Sky Academy were already taking their classes. The crowd was all focused on the intense battle, so nobody noticed that. But when Liusheng Cangquan gave a warning, the crowd suddenly realized that it was dead silence in the whole Sky Academy, as if all the teachers and students disappeared completely.

It started to get spooky in the crowd.

The calmest ones of them, Liusheng Cangquan and Tianhai Wuji, who had a very complicated relationship, looked at each other for a brief moment.

Before Tianhai Wuji could say something, his phone rang.

Tianhai Wuji took out his phone and looked at the number, then frowned a little, appearing surprised. He answered the call in a calm tone. “Yes? Mr. Miyamoto.”

“Mr. Tianhai, how did the battle of Zhongzhou State end?”

In the phone, the unique Supreme Ninja of East Island, Shinichi Miyamoto sounded tired. He seemed to count the time before he called Tianhai Wuji. When he thought the battle was over, he made the call.

“The Master of Samsara Palace won.”

Tianhai Wuji spoke in a steady tone with mild joy. The sudden disappearance of Gu Xingyun, the War God of Zhongzhou State, irritated them. But all the blood under the sword radiance of the Master of Samsara Palace was real. Even if Gu Xingyun was alive, he must be seriously injured, which was good for their action plan. “If I’m correct, Gu Xingyun should be seriously injured, really injured.”

“Should?”

Shinichi Miyamoto asked coldly.

Tianhai Wuji felt embarrassed, as the superior of the Invincible Realm on the Divine List himself, he didn’t know what really happened at the final strike between the two people. This was not something to brag about. He replied vaguely, “Mr. Miyamoto, we’re ready for action.”

In the phone, Shinichi Miyamoto stayed silent for half a minute, then said in a low tone, “Mr. Tianhai, if, I mean if it’s possible, please bring our people back to East Island, the more the merrier. If you can’t, please come back in advance with Mr. Liusheng. I’m really sorry that I didn’t tell you this before. It’s getting out of control here in East Island. I have tried but failed. Most of the elites of Zhongzhou State are currently at East Island, and they are hiding throughout East Island.”

The bright, dazzling sunlight was shining on the ground, and the air started to heat up. For a brief second, Tianhai Wuji thought he had auditory hallucination.

“What?”

He said subconsciously, then soon realized what the news he just heard meant. His facial expression changed rapidly, then he raised his voice subconsciously. “What are you talking about? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Does it matter? Mr. Tianhai?”

Shinichi Miyamoto let out a bitter laugh. “We weren’t sure if this was a setup from Zhongzhou State or not, and we didn’t know for sure whether it was set in East Island or Zhongzhou State. If we told you earlier, it would bring chaos in here. Now that I got your information, I can almost assure you that, the battle will be in East Island… You may not be in danger now, but not entirely safe either. The most important part is, we need your and Mr. Liusheng’s support here in East Island, if…”

“I’m on my way.”

Tianhai Wuji interrupted Shinichi Miyamoto. He grabbed his phone tightly, then suddenly he seemed to realize something. The light bulb in his head got turned on, and he asked subconsciously, “Then how about…”

He took a side glance around him.

Liusheng Cangquan started to frown, and his face looked more and more stern.

Meanwhile, Huan Kong, the superior of the Invincible Realm in the Fantasy World, and Chaos, the Commander of Knights Templars, looked calm. It was impossible for other people to figure out what they were thinking about.

“The rest…”

He said it vaguely and quickly.

Shinichi Miyamoto immediately knew what Tianhai Wuji meant. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “The news from East Island will be exposed soon. Now it’s a mess in the homeland, and all the news were well-known in the Dark World. But it’s still very quiet in South America, North America, and Northern Europe, of course, maybe not entirely quiet. Mr. Tianhai, I’m under a lot of pressure in the homeland, so I don’t have the energy to care about anything else.”

Tianhai Wuji’s heart sank again.

He knew Shinichi Miyamoto very well. By his tone, he was telling him that the situation in the homeland had gotten so bad that it needed urgent help.

Who in Zhongzhou State brought the team to East Island?

The expression in his eyes changed subtly, then he took a deep breath and hung up the phone.

Jiang Qiannian, Huan Kong, and Chaos…

All three of them had no expression on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking about.

Tianhai Wuji was sneering in his heart.

The reason why Shinichi Miyamoto told him about East Island now was he didn’t want him to panic and he was hoping that they could continue the operation in Zhongzhou State.

But it was impossible for the Jiang family of South America, the Fantasy World, and Knights Templars, to miss the news. Their silence had slightly shown the possibility of changing attitude.

Ally or enemy, the status kept switching in the ever-changing general trend. Tianhai Wuji had nothing more to say, the only thing he could do was to enhance the defense. If things were really that bad in East Island, and if the Special Warfare System might break because of it, then none of the Fantasy World, Knights Templars or the Jiang family of South America would give up the interest they could get with extreme ease.

East Island by then…

Tianhai Wuji’s eyes looked cold, and he subconsciously held the hilt around his waist tightly with one hand.

“Let’s go.”

He said, then added in a firm tone. “Back to East Island immediately!”

The earth at the front suddenly quaked violently.

In the distant place within eyesight, a shadow got closed to Tianhai Wuji out of nowhere.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to become a giant sword.

Zhuang Huayang still hadn’t shown up, but the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State, Wang Tianzong, showed up in front of Tianhai Wuji.

This man was holding a sword, standing up in the air.

He stood in the air, narrowed his eyes and laughed softly. “Why is Mr. Tianhai in such a hurry to leave? Although there aren’t many scenic spots and historical sites here in Huating, there are lots of beautiful views in Jinling and Lin’an. I’ll personally be your guide and keep Mr. Tianhai and Mr. Liusheng company in Zhongzhou State for a few days. What do you think?”

At the same time.

At the farthest place within eyesight.

The Master of Samsara Palace who just left quietly also stopped walking. She turned around and looked at the crowd.

Tianhai Wuji’s heart sank hard, but he still looked calm on the outside.

“I want to invite two gentlemen for a trip in Zhongzhou State, too. Now that the two gentlemen are free and not in a hurry to go back to North America and Northern Europe, why don’t you stay in Zhongzhou State and have a rest for a few days?”

The Master of Samsara Palace didn’t move her body, but everyone heard her smooth voice. She didn’t name names, but according to North America and Northern Europe, everyone understood who she was referring to.

Chaos, the Commander of Knights Templars, and Huan Kong, the Lord of the Fantasy World, who were watching the whole thing aside, changed their faces suddenly.

The two of them had no idea they would get involved in this.

“Your Highness, what do you mean?”

After a few seconds of silence, Chaos stepped forward and asked in a low voice. The momentum of an Invincible Realm superior diffused around. He sternly stared at the Master of Samsara Palace from afar, showing his determination to fight.

The Commander of the Dark World in Northern Europe was extremely tall and thin. What didn’t match his body type was his big round head with a full beard on it. The Commander of the Knights Templars looked like a freak, very unforgettable.

Huan Kong didn’t make a move, but after the Master of Samsara Palace said that, his whole body became unreal. His outfit was similar to the one of the Master of Samsara Palace, but he was wearing a silver cloak, which covered his whole body, making it hard to tell his gender.

The silver cloak reflected the bright light. Under the sun, he stood there still but made people feel like he appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared suddenly, very creepy and unpredictable.

“What happened in East Island has nothing to do with the Fantasy World.”

A gentle and neutral voice rang out. Huan Kong said in a peaceful and elegant way, “Your Highness wants to hold me in Zhongzhou State against my will, isn’t it too bossy?”

“We’ll just have a playful trip.”

The Master of Samsara Palace spoke in a more and more plain tone. “If the two of you didn’t plan to support East Island, why would you care about this minor discourtesy? The famous scenery in Zhongzhou State would definitely live up to your expectation.”

Huan Kong and Chaos took a glance at each other subconsciously.

Of course, they didn’t plan to support East Island. This was such a great chance, they needed to send people there to snatch some territories. But now the Master of Samsara Palace insisted on keeping them here, they knew what she meant by that. Even if they went for some pieces of land, but because they were deep in Zhongzhou State, it would be hard for them to snatch good ones. Zhongzhou State and the Samsara, very obviously, wanted to share the interest in East Island.

They were really greedy.

“You!”

Tianhai Wuji couldn’t hold it in anymore. He was furious suddenly.

In a few simple words, Zhongzhou State’s ambition and greediness got exposed completely. In Wang Tianzong’s sharp stare, this swordsmanship grandmaster of East Island abruptly drew his saber.

The shiny blade broke through space, and a flash of dim green light appeared on the blade instantly.

The air became fierce and started quaking.

Tianhai Wuji was holding sabers in both hands. He stared at Wang Tianzong floating in front of him and said peacefully, “Move! I have to go back.”

“Are you trying to embarrass me?”

Wang Tianzong tilted his head and said in a cold tone.

“We’re not trying to embarrass Your Majesty, but today I have to leave the Sky Academy with him.”

In the crisp sound of the metal, Liusheng Cangquan drew the sword and moved forward in a strange way.

There seemed to be a strong wind roaring in the smooth air.

In front of Liusheng Cangquan and Tianhai Wuji, a wall that was condensed by pure wind spread out.

The fierce wind howled.

The wind wall was standing in front of the two, and it was as steady as a mountain in the blowing wind.

“You two are not leaving, I won’t allow it.”

Wang Tianzong said without any expression while staring at the wind wall from above.

Tianhai Wuji suddenly cursed in Japanese. The blade radiating green light rose up, then he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

His body, his sword faded away completely in the air, only the blade light broke through the air and swallowed Wang Tianzong.

Liusheng Cangquan’ sword-holding hand shook for a second, and the strong wind rushed to Wang Tianzong like a tornado.

In the center of the crowd, Jiang Qiannian took a small step back.

A peaceful voice yet with cold rage rang out. “Jiang Qiannian? There’s a case in Kunlun City that needs your cooperation, please come with me.”

Jiang Qiannian, who planned to leave quietly, suddenly stopped and turned around in slow motion.

In his eyesight, Gu Xingyun in a new outfit appeared behind Jiang Qiannian, with a cold expression.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the War God of Zhongzhou State with inexplicable rage. Then he smiled suddenly and said softly, “War God, Your Highness, do you think you can stop me in your state of health? Even if you can, I also have the Legend of Qin. Don’t you think you should reconsider your decision?”

“It’s enough if the War God His Highness can stop the Second Master.”

A loud and rough voice rang out.

In the crowd of the audience, among the unvalued Dark Knights, the master who was a half step to Invincible Realm and was leading the team, stepped out of the crowd.

“I’ll handle the murderous weapon, the Legend of Qin, for the War God His Highness.”

He walked forward in a quick pace while drawing out a pitch-dark big spear that was more than two meters long.

The darkness spread out.

The awfully black spear seemed to be able to swallow everything.

One of the 12 Murderous Weapons in the Dark World.

The Dark Saint Spear!

Jiang Qiannian’s pupils contracted abruptly.
