2038 Heavenly Saint Bells (1/2)
Hearing Qingfeng Li's declaration, the Sky-Breaking Monarch's eyes lit up. He had been able to sense that Qingfeng Li's physical power was formidable. He was no weaker than the Monarch himself in that respect.
The Sky-Breaking Monarch knew that it would be very difficult to kill Qingfeng Li. Even if he did manage to kill him somehow, he wouldn't too much better off himself. Even if he didn't die in the fight as well, he would be heavily wounded.
The Sky-Breaking Monarch obviously didn't want to be wounded. There were many powerful people all over the Crimson Fire Continent who were eyeing his position from the shadows.
If the Sky-Breaking Monarch were to become heavily wounded, these people would no doubt appear to kill him. Then, they would stealhis treasures, his palace, his mountain. That was why the Sky-Breaking Monarch had to maintain a certain level of strength after killing Qingfeng Li.
The Sky-Breaking Monarch stared at Qingfeng Li like he was an idiot. ”You're the one who said it,” he said. ”I'll attack you with my spiritual attack Dharma treasure. And you're not allowed to retaliate at all.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. ”I said I wouldn't retaliate. And I won't,” he said. ”Hurry up and attack. I'm a man of my word.”
With the force of his will, the Sky-Breaking Monarch brought out a set of bells. There were three of them, all black, and each had a tiny round ball made of Saint level materials enveloped within.
The moment the bells appeared, they sent a series of black ripples through the air, extending outward in all directions. Stones, plants, and everything else in their path was reduced to dust. This was the power of these bells.
Seeing the bells, the Dark Night Emperor, who had been resting within Qingfeng Li, was overcome with shock.
”Little brat,” he voice-transmitted to Qingfeng Li, ”these bells are not to be trifled with. They are called the Heavenly Saint Bells, and they have quite the backstory. In the Ancient Ages, they had once belonged to a Saint who specialized in spiritual attacks. I didn't expect them to have fallen into the hands of the Sky-Breaking Monarch. You must be careful.”
Qingfeng Li's expression was grim. From the way the Dark Night Emperor spoke, he knew that these Heavenly Saint Bells must have been powerful.
”Sir, can my own spirit energy withstand one blow from them?” Qingfeng Li asked by voice transmission.
Dark Night Emperor shook his head. ”Your spirit energy is only at the peak of the Ninth level monarch realm,” he replied. ”This Heavenly Saint Bell is a saint level spiritual Dharma treasure. There's no way you can defend against it. Once it enters your mind-space, it would definitely tear your spirit energy into pieces.”
Qingfeng Li's expression changed. He knew now that he'd backed himself into a corner. He'd originally though that the opponent would only be able to bring out some regular Imperial level spiritual Dharma treasure. He hadn't expected to see something of the saint level in the other's hands.
Qingfeng Li thought for a moment. Ending the transmission with the Dark Night Emperor, he began to communicate with the Black-White Millstone. ”Right now,” he told it, ”there is a Saint level spiritual Dharma treasure outside. It's about to attack me. You have to defend against its attack for me from within my mind-space. Otherwise, if my spirit energy perishes, there will be no place for you to hide either.”
Hearing this, the Black-White Millstone gave a little shake, apparently agreeing to Qingfeng Li's request.
Sensing the Black-White Millstone's movement, Qingfeng Li's eyes lit up. He knew that his greatest ally was the Black-White Millstone. As long as it agree to help, he'd be completely alright.
Lifting a hand, Qingfeng Li pointed at the Sky-Breaking Monarch with a haughty expression. ”Stop yapping,” he said. ”Hurry up and use your Saint level Dharma treasure to attack me. I'll stand right here, and I definitely won't move. If I do, I'll admit defeat.”
The Sky-Breaking Monarch roared in laughter, a hint of killing intent surfacing in his eyes. ”Since you're in such a hurry to die, let me give you a hand!”
