Chapter 326: Payment for my services Part3

Tang Yue bit her lips in frustration and stared at the jade dust on her hand. 

"Will he come?" She shuddered slightly, wondering what was happening back there in the cultivation chamber.

She gazed at the distance for a few seconds before silently casting the spell 'One with the Earth."

But this only confirmed her fears and made her more nervous.

No matter how she tried, Tang Yue couldn't sense even a single murmur in the ground beneath her.

A Demi-God's fight should realistically leave the entire mountain in ruins at least crashing all the mining tunnels inside, but she couldn't sense even the smallest of disturbance.

After waiting for a couple more minutes, Tang Yue decided to head back into the royal city irrespective of the risk.

The messages she sent through didn't seem to have had an effect but if she could at least alert the Dwarven Emperor or maybe that Dwarven princess, who always stalked her, then it would be better.

She should most probably know how to contact others and get help.

She turned on her heels and was about to take another step when suddenly the air in front of her twisted.

"Xander?" Tang Yue expectantly muttered, her eyes widened, hoping for a miracle.

But unfortunately, it was not the devil she knew who stepped out in front of her from within a vortex sort of void. It was rather the devil she didn't know.

William smirked as he let out a loud chuckle. "This is all that you could do? What a weakling!" 

"Aha Ha Ha Ha. Even the lowest member of my guild could have outrun you!"

"How are you any threat to me?"

Tang Yue stepped back, her eyes bloodshot. Her brain froze as she couldn't think past the figure in front of her.

Because… if this man was here… then that could only mean that her Master was no more…

Tears streamed out of Tang Yue's eyes as she rotated her cultivation base unleashing the full power of her mana cores.

The ground quaked and dozens of flame dragons erupted. 

Little Plum as well followed Tang Yue's mood and tried to absorb as much power as it could from the heavenly flame.

It then boosted the power of the dancing flame dragons making them look more terrifying, their roars sounding as if they were alive.

But even so, the flames barely touched the strong and sturdy man. They barely made a scratch on his skin.

William chuckled, "What is this? Petty parlor tricks?" 

He crossed his arms and lightly tapped his fingers on his elbow as he smiled.

The next instant, a gray vapor enveloped the area, fully engulfing Tang Yue and William.

This was a domain set up by a Demi-God!

Tang Yue could feel the strong energy thrumming inside the domain, but she couldn't quite figure out what it was.

It was clearly not dark elemental energy but at the same time she felt as if her body was becoming weaker and weaker.

Tang Yue understood that she couldn't let this continue for much longer, lest she fully lost her consciousness.

"Break for me." She muttered and enveloped herself in a thick mana barrier, while simultaneously turning the ground beneath their feat into a pool of hot lava.

This was the strongest attack she had now. Will this work?

William looked at her eager eyes and merely chuckled. "Why waste your energy like this? Don't worry. I might not kill you."

"Now that I see you, maybe making you my puppet wouldn't be a bad idea."

"You seem to have a decent amount of power and potential. You will serve me well as my puppet."

Before William could finish his taunt, another loud boom echoed the domain he had set up cracked in several places.

Seeing this, Tang Yue shouted. "Little Plum! AGAIN."

The small blob of flame immediately flared up and casted another bout of dancing dragons.

The dragons roared with a tremendous power and they attacked the cracks in the domain, shattering it completely.

William, however, was not in the least worried about it.

"Heh. Interesting. Interesting. Not bad at all. You seem to have a lot of treasures."

"Time to finish this now."

He reached for his sword as the domain cracked around them, and sent out several sword beams.

Tang Yue blocked two of it, but the third one cut through her chest, leaving behind a huge bloody injury.

Blood dripped from her lips as she commanded her soul sword to act and block the next attack.

But by now, the domain was fully undone, the figure standing outside made a move.

Tang Yue's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the dwarf.

"Master." Her lips trembled.

Just from the looks of it, the man was clearly covered with a million injuries from top to bottom, but that didn't matter.

He was alive! He was not dead after all!

Tang Yue watched in shock and fear as she saw the dwarf once again throw himself in front of her, blocking the attacks.

"RUN child." The dwarf muttered, his voice sounding a bit defeated.

However, this time Tang Yue did not budge from her place. 

It clearly didn't matter if she ran away or not. The human being had caught up to her in matter of minutes.

So Tang Yue disobeyed the dwarf and stood her ground. 

Today, she was either going to live or die but that would only be beside this man.

She watched the dwarf draw his sword, a long sword with a mysterious purple glint.

It was a powerful weapon, something far more powerful than any other weapons she had seen before.

Tang Yue could tell that it was a spirit weapon. 

Her own soul sword also had the potential to be this powerful but it was still a baby.

However, the sword in this man's hand was fully grown and had reached its absolute potential.

It roared alive with a life and vigor of its own.

The sword on Miller's hand spun around and met the several beams of attacks from William.
