Chapter 1198 - 1196: Sword Spirit’s Peak State

In the blink of an eye, the few people in mid-air were already fighting fiercely!

Yet Wang Zhan was distinctly organized, always battling that extremely ferocious demonic beast, while the Sword Spirit remained at his side, evidently prepared to provide assistance, and on the other side, the Hexagonal Golden Snake was clashing with Xiao Tianyin!

All eyes were on the Hexagonal Golden Snake and Xiao Tianyin, as they were the outstanding experts here, with victory hinging on one of them. Whoever emerged victorious would tip the scales in their favor!

Everyone was nervous for the two, yet they hoped more for Xiao Tianyin to win. Although the chances were slim, if Xiao Tianyin won, these people could leave safely since Xiao Tianyin had great ambition. He was more concerned with strengthening Gold City’s defenses and expanding its power, so he naturally wouldn’t attack them.

However, Wang Zhan was different. If Wang Zhan and his allies defeated Xiao Tianyin, their situation would become unprecedentedly perilous, and leaving safely would become an extremely troublesome endeavor!

"Bang!"

With another sound from mid-air, both Xiao Tianyin and the Hexagonal Golden Snake retreated, and Wang Zhan temporarily broke free from the demonic beast in front of him, moving to the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s side and quickly asking, "How are you doing? Are you alright?"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake had not been with him long, but Wang Zhan was acutely aware of his strength. The Hexagonal Golden Snake had never even met his match; he was invincible wherever he went!

It was the same back in the sea domain. He was practically an invincible existence, even the Dragon Clan didn’t dare engage him easily. Yet, Wang Zhan never anticipated Xiao Tianyin possessing such strength. Although Xiao Tianyin hadn’t defeated the Hexagonal Golden Snake, forcing him back so many steps was already indicative of his power!

The Hexagonal Golden Snake shook his head but turned pale, frowning as he said, "This guy’s power is increasing rapidly, yet I can sense he’s using some forbidden technique to enhance his strength in a short time, but the technique has significant side effects, so he won’t last long!"

"Therefore, there’s no need for us to fight him desperately now. If we can keep delaying him, he’ll fall apart sooner or later without further fight!"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake had found the best way to deal with Xiao Tianyin. If he used his trump card, he could still contend with Xiao Tianyin, but it would come at a considerable cost, which was extremely troublesome!

Nearby, Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brow and quickly said, "Let’s do as you suggest, but even if we are delaying, you need to be careful to avoid any problems. We don’t have to risk life and limb with this guy, especially with so many experts at our side. Even if we aren’t his match now, once we return to Sky Pavilion and gather more allies, I believe he won’t withstand!"

Although Xiao Tianyin was from the Xiao Family, Wang Zhan didn’t take him seriously. With no strong faction backing Xiao Tianyin, even if the Xiao Family decided to act, though far away, they could undoubtedly rip through space like the Azure Dragon Venerable!

If it came to that, even with Wang Zhan and his group’s formidable strength, there would be no means of leaving here!

The Hexagonal Golden Snake nodded, a cold smile forming on his lips, and said authoritatively, "You two take care of yourselves. Behind us, there’s plenty of predatory onlookers, though I don’t know who they plan to attack, they seem ready to fight at any moment, which makes them the trickiest people. We must guard against them!"

Wang Zhan suddenly recalled the people from the Sect, still in the City Lord’s Mansion. Despite their modest strength, if they joined forces, they posed a considerable threat to Wang Zhan and his allies, which needed to be eliminated promptly!

Wang Zhan regretted, if not for his benevolence, how could these people linger so long?

Now dealing with them wasn’t easy. While Wang Zhan could use the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation to instantly annihilate them, it would exact a heavy toll, making it unreasonable!

He needed to preserve his energy and first tackle Xiao Tianyin!

Moreover, Xiao Tianyin still had a tricky demonic beast by his side, and it was unclear to what extent those demonic beasts had progressed, necessitating extreme caution from Wang Zhan!

A loud crash echoed in the sky, and Xiao Tianyin’s momentum surged once again. In such a short time, his power doubled, which was indeed alarming!

Even Wang Zhan couldn’t gauge Xiao Tianyin’s true strength or how much he could enhance himself!

The Hexagonal Golden Snake had explained everything to Wang Zhan and wasted no more time there, charging directly at Xiao Tianyin, declaring with arrogance, "You indeed have many skills, but that doesn’t threaten me. I’ve identified your fatal weakness; if I keep delaying, you won’t hold out!"

"My power is superior to yours, my Spiritual Power exceeds yours, and you won’t have any chance to turn the tables. Prepare for judgment!"

"I’ll keep stalling, letting your strength fade, until you become prey!"

Xiao Tianyin’s lips twitched. He thought the Hexagonal Golden Snake would strike all out due to being more powerful, aiming to finish him off quickly!

To his surprise, the Hexagonal Golden Snake remained calm and indifferent, still not intending to strike despite the situation, leaving him in a bind!

While others didn’t understand why Xiao Tianyin was so powerful, he knew he was using forbidden techniques to reach this state!

So, if Wang Zhan’s people stalled, it would be a devastating blow, putting him in difficulty, making every step arduous!

With no choice but to attack, despite knowing he wouldn’t last, he had to assault the Hexagonal Golden Snake quickly, then easily eliminate Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit. The disparity in strength still existed, even with his power boost, making it only a matter of time!

The onlookers were insignificant, just useless losers not impacting the battle!

Soon, his forbidden technique consumption would rapidly recover, making him invincible, logically absorbing Wang Zhan’s power and becoming a dominant force!

Planning resolved, Xiao Tianyin quickly charged the Hexagonal Golden Snake, engaging him again.

But the Hexagonal Golden Snake avoided Xiao Tianyin’s attacks, sticking to his plan, ensuring Xiao Tianyin would eventually fail!

"We must act, not like the Hexagonal Golden Snake. We must swiftly deal with this demonic beast, preventing it from joining Xiao Tianyin’s battlefield, which would pressure the Hexagonal Golden Snake!"

The Sword Spirit nodded, and as he clasped his hands together, a pink-white glow enveloped him, sword shadows appeared in the sky, swiftly descending upon the demonic beast!

"How didn’t I know you had this ability?"

Wang Zhan, puzzled, asked. He was familiar with the Sword Spirit, understanding him completely, having fought many battles side by side. To his surprise, the Sword Spirit also had his own trump card.

Wang Zhan felt most unappreciated, exposing all his trump cards, his strength known, yet he was unaware of those around him. This was indeed ludicrous!

The Sword Spirit chuckled, explaining, "This trump card I saved for later, potentially to aid you, but I never expected to face such a strong enemy here, prompting me to reveal everything to thwart these foes promptly!"

"So, I must unleash my most powerful killing move!"
