"I was wrong… Wake up now." King of Fire held his disciple's corpse in tears.
Next to him was a secret technique of boundary spirit with red light illuminating that made everyone jealous. Just like that, it landed on the ground without one attending to it.
No one cared.
Everyone was silent.
Things progressed too quickly, which was far beyond everyone's imagination. It was too late to stop it. Any world esper is supposed to have a stern heart and put self-interest as the main priority. However, everything that happened to this pair of master and disciple made them sad.
"You have long guessed this?" Chen Ge remembered Su Hao's previous reaction and asked in a low voice.
"No." Su Hao shook his head, "I only guess the second half correctly."
Chen Ge was shocked.
First half!
In other words, Su Hao had long thought that King of Fire would kill his disciple? Or did he manage to come to such a conclusion with the clues available? As for the other half, that meant Su Hao didn't expect King of Fire's disciple would actually give up on this heaven grade boundary spirit?
Chen Ge was stunned.
Looking at Su Hao, he never thought that Su Hao's view of this world was this cruel! It was too cruel to the point of being almost too mean.
Su Hao...
What kind of things did he experience that made him feel that this world was this dark?
Soon.
Buzz~
The red light flickered as the secret technique of the heaven grade boundary spirit gradually disappeared into thin air. As for King of Fire, he still hadn't recovered from his shock.
"If you knew this beforehand, why not act?"
The crowd sighed.
Some things, would they only be precious after one experienced losing them?
However, the disappearance of the heaven grade boundary spirit made them understand something. They decided to condense the secret technique on their hands now. Forget about whether or not these secret techniques would disappear, with so many world espers outside, holding a secret technique that one could fight for might cause them to end up like King of Fire's disciple.
Swish!
Swish!
Everyone condensed their respective fourth grade boundary spirit without hesitation.
Only Su Hao looked at the third grade in his hand with a sigh. How was he that unlucky? However, Su Hao seemed to have thought of something while holding this third grade secret technique in hand and let it go.
"What happened?" Chen Ge gave him a curious look.
"It has other functions." Su Hao smiled indifferently.
Swish! Swish!
Everyone succeeded in condensing their new boundary spirit.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, King of Fire's body suddenly radiated light, and under everyone's eyes in disbelief, he broke through!
Boom!
Terrifying aura erupted!
Within King of Fire's body, it actually independently created a fourth grade boundary spirit. Unbelievably, as the radiant circulated, King of Fire used this opportunity to breakthrough into the level three world realm. Ten boundary spirits flashed around him before vanishing.
Buzz~
Endless World Force was formed!
However, King of Fire still remained silent as before, holding his disciple's corpse motionlessly.
"This..."
Wan Cheng and the others froze.
"He came to an enlightenment." Su Hao's eyes were as cold as always.
"What's the relation of enlightenment with his boundary spirit?" Wan Cheng was at a loss.
"Enlightenment, how should I phrase it? He originally was on the verge of condensing a fourth grade boundary spirit, but there were some key issues that he couldn't comprehend. This time, things had cleared his cloudy mind. The previous issues were suddenly solved. Naturally, the issue of condensing a fourth grade boundary spirit would eventually be cleared too." Su Hao explained.
"Huh?" Wan Cheng failed to understand.
"Enlightenment, how can I explain it?" Su Hao pondered for a bit, "Imagine his mind is like a toilet bowl which is full of stains. Today, a bottle of toilet cleaner was poured into it..."
"Stop!"
Su Hao was interrupted by Chen Ge, whose forehead was full of black lines.
"What are you doing?" Su Hao struggled to continue.
"Stop trying to trigger people." Chen Ge's eyes glanced for a second at King of Fire.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Su Hao smirked, "It's just to represent someone worthless."
Chen Ge quickly looked back at King of Fire, but unexpectedly, King of Fire didn't respond to Su Hao's words as he was still in the same state of shock.
At this time, several people nearby were also amazed by the sudden breakthrough of King of Fire.
"This is also possible?" A world esper looked at this scene in horror, "Damn, he killed his own disciple but can still breakthrough? If I do so, can I also have a breakthrough?"
King of Fire gently raised his hand.
Swish!
A sound softly rang in his eardrums.
That world esper had an extra hole on his forehead, and he died instantly. His eyes were wide open. Obviously, he couldn't believe that King of Fire could kill him this easily.
Courting his own death!
Everyone cursed that world esper in their heart.
The current King of Fire was in a disrupted mental state, plus had a sudden increase in strength. At this time, you still want to stimulate him, isn't that just courting your own death?
"King of Fire, how dare you!"
Another world esper became furious. Su Hao and the others immediately facepalmed.
Needless to say, there was another corpse.
"Sigh."
Everyone sighed.
"Why are you fine then?" Chen Ge messaged Su Hao.
"He's now guilty to his disciple. I said some words for his disciple, naturally I will be fine. However, those who tried to insult his disciple..."
"The end result will be what you see." Su Hao smirked.
"So that's how it is." Chen Ge suddenly shifted his gaze to King of Fire, "However, humans will always be driven by personal interests. When the effect of his disciple's death fades away, he will eventually regret the disappearance of a heaven grade boundary spirit."
"No, he won't." Su Hao coldly looked at King of Fire, "Those who forget quickly, they're not actually feeling the pain. As for King of Fire... I'm afraid he will be immersed in the depth of regret for life..."
"Really?" Chen Ge's eyes drifted away.
Didn't actually feel the pain?
What about those incidents in the past...
Bang!
King of Fire seemed to have regained his composure after a long internal struggle. Holding his disciple, he took a huge step forward, leaving through the gap in space. As for Wan Cheng and his master, they had a glance with Su Hao and Chen Ge before they followed closely to leave. Su Hao and Chen Ge were the last ones to leave.
It finally ended?
It's over!
This trip to Taihu Territory, only five out of fifty came back alive!
King of Fire, Wan Cheng, Yan Tianyu, Chen Ge, and Su Hao. Some people died during the disaster, some died in battle, some died from their own hands, and some courted their own death with King of Fire. For example, the last two world espers, they were obviously not willing to die in such a manner.
Before leaving, Chen Ge finally seemed to remember something.
"What about the card?" Chen Ge suddenly reacted.
"It should be on Li Lei." Su Hao frowned, "Based on my previous deduction, it should be that after killing Li Lei, I will obtain the card. But now..."
Su Hao rubbed his temples.
Apparently, the sudden change of events had made him lose the clue of the third card. He had a few guesses, and the worst one would be the card got destroyed together with Li Lei's death!
"Let's go." Chen Ge shook his head, "This place won't last any much longer. Let's leave quickly."
"En." Su Hao glanced at this small space and left.
Swish!
Just like that, both left.
Just after they left, this small space finally lost its ability to hold out any longer. It shattered violently, and a faint red light carrying a thick blue light shattered the space, disappearing without a trace.
"Aura recognition."
"Sequence authentication."
"Target locked: Su Hao..."
"Space transition..."
Ding~
*****
Within Taihu Territory.
After a long period of silence, those powerful espers finally began to explore this newly created Taihu Territory. However, when their Rule Force passed through without hindrance, they were surprised to find here that there was no longer any mysterious force that blocked their Rule Force.
The original Taihu Territory had completely vanished!
"What is happening?"
"Could it be that it collapsed from that eruption earlier?"
"This is too terrifying!"
Everyone was shocked. One of Nine Great Despairs, it disappeared just like that? There was no doubt that those who entered Taihu Territory...
Those were a total of fifty espers!
Many people sighed, but those who didn't join the batch earlier felt glad. No matter what reward you get in Taihu Territory, as long as you didn't come out, everything will be meaningless.
"Too bad."
Just as everyone was sighing.
Space quaked.
Space was suddenly split into two, and they saw a figure step through the void and suddenly fall from the sky above Taihu Territory. In front of him, he seemed to be holding a person.
"Who?"
Everyone was shocked.
When that figure landed on the ground, they could clearly see that this man was King of Fire, and he was holding his disciple, a dead body. His face was even colder than before. Completely ignoring them, and he just left like that.
The crowd retreated.
Quite a number of them got scared of this strange atmosphere. However, some espers who knew King of Fire reacted. This was the only one alive they saw. They mustn't let him leave like this. What actually happened in Taihu Territory? What exactly had King of Fire obtained then?
"Keke~"
One person coughed and stepped forward.
This was a level three world esper. He was quite strong and could be considered as King of Fire's senior.
"I'm sorry for your loss." That esper first comforted, "A dead man can't be resurrected. You must continue to live on with his ambition."
"Get lost!" King of Fire snorted.
"What did you say?" That man thought that he had misheard.
"Get lost!"
It was another cold reply.
"I have already given you enough face." That man's face was a bit ugly, "I won't calculate with you since you just lost your disciple. If it was before..."
Without waiting for his nonsense, King of Fire instantly made his move.
Boom!
Powerful force erupted.
A force that belonged to World Force exploded. That man's pupil suddenly contracted. Immediately, he summoned his very own World Force to block it, but he still ended up pushed back dozens of steps! Those espers, who were present, were shocked because without having one to say, King of Fire had broken through!
"Level three world realm?"
"In the end, what happened inside?!"
"I didn't hear the ring from the world bell... Could it be that it got blocked?"
Everyone was shocked.
King of Fire was still holding his disciple like before and then left the scene in peace. Those espers present just stepped aside like that. Level three, with a world established, no one dared to stop him!
"What is this situation?"
Everyone had a heated discussion.
Boom!
Another space fissure appeared, and two more men appeared.
