Chapter 705: Chapter 538: Descendant of the Bone Stupa, Annihilation
“I really want to see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve?”
Xu Gu said with a disdainful sneer, clearly unconcerned by the threat.
He wasn’t worried in the slightest.
After that threat, the road was never peaceful.
Every now and then, a great number of powerful beings would emerge to test him.
Some were outright war weapons.
All of them, naturally, were effortlessly wiped out by Xu Gu.
“Could it be that the Combat Power he displayed before wasn’t just temporary?”
Some hidden strong figures murmured amongst themselves.
“This can’t be possible! I was there at the battle in the Yang Star; although Xu Gu was formidable, his Combat Power at the time was indeed borrowed from an external object!”
“That object is too precious! It’s impossible for there to be a second one!”
Someone objected.
About a week later,
Xu Gu suddenly raised his eyebrows, sensing a prickling danger at his back.
Whoosh!
In a split second, a pale streak of light appeared behind Xu Gu.
A bone-white dagger, imbued with the Power of Extreme Poison and Curse, aimed straight for Xu Gu’s back.
It was a deadly strike prepared long ago!
Even a normal Extreme King would have difficulty defending against it and would be pierced through.
Especially since the attacker had planned countless ambushes to dull Xu Gu’s vigilance, slow down his reactions, and inflate his ego.
However, just as the attack was about to land successfully,
Xu Gu made no move, and the shadowy figure’s face twisted in horror to the extreme. In a panic, they attempted to flee but found themselves trapped as if in a quagmire, unable to escape.
This was the effect of the Field-class Divine Artifact ‘Human Purgatory’.
Once he knew an ambush was likely, this Divine Artifact had been active all along.
How could he possibly be assassinated?
All powerful beings were bound!
After all, he had bodyguards, Protectors, and the Creator’s Ark.
Assassinate him? They must be out of their minds?
Xu Gu casually raised his hand and swung back with a palm strike.
Clang!
The collision occurred.
A myriad of Thunderbolt and flames erupted.
The attacker’s dagger broke instantly.
“How is this possible!” the shadowy figure cried out in shock.
“You must be no nobody; the planning before the assassination, the control of the timing during the assassination, and the power, all are quite remarkable.”
Xu Gu spoke indifferently: “If you had assassinated another legitimate daughter from Middle Star, that Middle Star Extreme King might have fallen.
“Pity, you met me.”
Shock filled the heart of the attacker.
You knew that even a Middle Star Extreme King would fall!
How could you be unharmed?
Isn’t that a bit exaggerated!
“Tell me, who are you?”
Xu Gu inquired.
“I solve problems for those who pay,” the person snorted coldly.
“Die!”
Seeing that his first strike failed, he launched himself forward, ready to strike again.
He planned to confront Xu Gu head-on.
Boom!
Behind him, numerous eerie white bones materialized, as if from the realm of Death.
The scene was terrifying.
“Sky Splitting Slash!”
The figure’s shape flashed away, and the next instant, it reappeared behind Xu Gu, piercing through space-time with incomparable precision and complexity.
“Bone Pagoda? Interesting. Does your organization also dare to provoke me? Who gave you the audacity?”
Xu Gu’s eyes were cold.
He may not know many ultimate secrets, but he was still aware of the top powers from the Divine Domain Continent, Mechanical Sea, and other Star Domains.
Able to recognize the opponent’s signature strike at a glance.
It’s the Slaughter Technique of Bone Pagoda!
Bone Pagoda, the killer organization that roams the cosmic space.
Hiding in the darkness, they rarely make a move, but when they do, it always results in bloodshed.
Extremely difficult to deal with.
However, Bone Pagoda doesn’t just assassinate anyone, to avoid trouble, they usually don’t attack those recognized as untouchable individuals and powers.
So Bone Pagoda taking on this job means they believe they can assassinate successfully and withstand the pressure from the Human Clan?
“Ridiculous.”
Xu Gu sneered, time around him came to a stop, he swung his hand back and infinite Principles wreaked havoc.
The purity of his Time Dao was not that high, but the third Divine Skill of the [Dao], Ultimate Transcendence, could enhance the power of other Authorities!
With a wave of his hand, he could stop a moment of the opponent’s time.
When the attack fell, heaven and earth resonated, unleashing an unimaginable force.
The killer from Bone Pagoda, though formidable, was still far from Xu Gu’s match.
“Are you alright?”
The pupils of the Bone Pagoda’s Sky-ranked assassin constricted; he was shocked.
His attack was incredibly strong; in his expectation, Xu Gu was certain to die.
But, Xu Gu was unharmed!
His attack had missed.
Before he could exclaim in surprise, his mind was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.
A look of horror on his face.
Because Xu Gu had paused his time, the scenes he saw were intermittent.
One moment, Xu Gu was about to be assassinated by his ambush, and the next, Xu Gu was unharmed.
One moment, Xu Gu was on the defensive, and the next, Xu Gu’s attack had already landed on his face.
“You petty assassin, you haven’t even mastered the Time Authority, yet you dare to assassinate me? Who gave you the courage.”
As Xu Gu’s words fell.
His palm pressed down like a mountain, directly falling towards the Bone Pagoda’s Sky-ranked assassin.
Without any suspense.
Thud!
An explosion sounded.
The body of the Bone Pagoda’s Sky-ranked assassin burst open, consciousness dissipated, life extinguished.
He fell.
“Gasps!”
This caused many hidden powerhouses to gulp in fear, absolutely horrified.
Terror was written all over their faces.
The Sky-ranked assassins of Bone Pagoda were no weaklings!
They were the power center of Bone Pagoda, absolute giants in the Star Domain, who had assassinated two Extreme Kings and succeeded.
Yet facing Xu Gu, not to mention killing him, they couldn’t even hurt Xu Gu, not even probing a single method!
“Impossible!”
“Is he really that strong?”
“Just like this, already a Middle Star Extreme King?”
“Do they have to exaggerate so much! Advancing faster than drinking cold water?”
The powerful beings on the scene were shaken to the core.
Their worldview was turned upside down.
They envied Xu Gu’s rapid growth miserably.
Xu Gu’s expression was calm, as if nothing had happened, boarding the warship again, flying forward.
“The distance to the Sword-man Clan seems a bit far.”
Xu Gu inquired to Ning Chen, the legitimate daughter of the Sword-man Clan.
“The Sword-man Clan is scared. They’ve been constantly moving their stars.”
Ning Chen concluded after a long silence.
Xu Gu raised an eyebrow: “It seems to me, they are just buying time, right?”
Escape? If they really wanted to escape, they would have hidden long ago.
Not slowly increasing the distance.
“Are they waiting for someone? That old man who took your brother away? Or the Divine Court?”
Xu Gu’s eyes twinkled, his expression playful.
It could be said that the situation was becoming more and more interesting.
Ahead was a surrounding field of small asteroid belts.
The warship casually weaved through.
Asteroids that couldn’t be traversed were directly blasted.
And then, at this moment, the small asteroids suddenly started to glow with a dark red brilliance, countless runes ascended, sealing the heavens and the earth, the scene was extremely terrifying.
