Chapter 1178 Never Return Empty-handed

"I think it has started..." As Rocky saw this, he knew that the Nether Butterfly Queen had begun to pupate.

At the same time, the old man in the purple robe raised his eyebrows as he saw this scene. Without hesitation, he suddenly rushed towards the Nether Butterfly Queen, which had just started to pupate. It was pretty obvious that he intended to take the legendary guardian beast with him.

However, Rocky wouldn't let the old man have his way. He acted quickly and rushed over while activating the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring on his finger. As the ring suddenly lit up, a stealthy spiritual shadow flashed, instantly turning into a spiritual net that immediately enveloped the old man.

Caught off guard in Rocky's trap, the old man shouted in a deep voice, unleashed his spiritual power that was at the Immortal Stage and forcefully broke through the net. However, due to his speed being slowed down, Rocky quickly caught up with him.

While the old man continued to approach the Nether Butterfly Queen, he and Rocky engaged in a fierce battle, displaying their extremely fast speed in the process. Currently, Rocky's strength was inferior to the old man's, but with the aid of the Frozen Wind Dagger and the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring, he was able to almost fight equally with his opponent. That was why even when their battle dragged on, the old man wasn't able to easily get rid of Rocky.

"Eat this! Thunder Sword!" The old man seemed pretty irritated that the young man was able to keep up with him. His wrinkled face darkened as he forcefully waved the dull sword in his hand again.

The next moment, the dull sword soared high into the sky. It gathered the spiritual light, which turned into a huge sword. Then, at the old man's signal, it darted straight towards Rocky, like a flash of lightning.

Seeing this, Rocky squinted his eyes, knowing that the old man must have put all of his tremendous power in this attack.

As the huge sword continued to rush towards Rocky with such great momentum, the thunder radiance coming from it was also shooting in all directions. Immediately after, the dazzling sword landed on the ground where Rocky stood. The thunder radiance exploded and enveloped a radius of dozens of meters. The impact of the strong spiritual power could be felt even from hundreds of meters away.

Soon after, the area covered by the explosion of the thunder radiance sank about ten feet beneath the ground, creating a huge crater. All things within it were burnt to ashes. The damage inflicted and the power it displayed were extremely destructive.

There was a satisfied grin on the face of the old man as he saw the result of his vicious attack. He was confident that even Rocky would never be able to withst

ove, Rocky had no choice but to use it as a last resort. He readily unleashed the corresponding power to resist and fight back at the same time.

As the enormous fire dragon rushed out, the old man was greatly flustered. He had almost used up all his strength but he was still overwhelmed. He clearly knew that he couldn't resist the attack head-on, so he tried his best to evade it.

At the same time, Rocky seized the opportunity to rush in front of the Nether Butterfly Queen.

At that moment, the queen continued to shrink in size. Even the original light membrane had also turned into a light pupa.

After bursting out the power equal to the Immortal Stage, Rocky instantly felt a little exhausted. More than half of his spiritual power had been consumed with the attack he created.

The face of the old man grew pale after barely dodging Rocky's intense attack. When he turned to look at the young man, he discovered that he was already in front of the Nether Butterfly Queen, blocking his way. He became frustrated and agitated. He didn't expect that a spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage like him would be toyed by a young man and would even be pushed back to such extent.

Even the other spirit manipulators of the Rain Demon Empire couldn't believe their eyes that the old man was having such a hard time dealing with Rocky.

However, the old man wouldn't give up, even after the spiritual treasure was already taken by Rocky. He thought that he should at least bring the Nether Butterfly Queen back. Originally, he had been entrusted with the significant task of obtaining the spiritual treasure. Patriarch Townsend promised him a lot of rewards and benefits once he completed his task. Therefore, after all the struggles that he had suffered and undergone, he wasn't going to settle on returning empty-handed.
