Chapter 1606 Jealousy

Chapter 1606 Jealousy

Dyon left arm had stopped Lilith's blade in its tracks, the lower bases of their swords colliding in a silent battle so peaceful that those below had hardly noticed a clash.

Dyon realized in that instant how powerful Lilith was. If he had relied on his sword qi alone to counter hers, he would have lost. In fact, even if he fused his chaos flames with his sword qi and his spatial qi, if it was before, he would have lost as well.

However, these matters were different now. Little Yin had awoken her battle bloodline. Now, the spatial qi Dyon manipulated wasn't from his own comprehension, but rather, from Little Yin's. It was a level of spatial qi normal humans couldn't dream of manipulating.

'What a woman... Her sword intent... No... Her sword dao... It's already at the second stage.'

Dyon felt his heartbeat quicken. If Lilith was one of his subordinates, he'd gain himself yet another outstanding Demon General.

'This isn't even her true strength. Here, not only is she suppressed by the Enigmatic Quadrant, she's suppressed even more so by the conventional path qi. She can't even use her devil qi here for fear of being hunted down and exterminated... Yet she still almost took my life.'

Lilith's eyes lost focus. In the end, her forehead really did fall onto Dyon's chest.

"Big sister!" Two little boys, well, teenage boys, soared into the air, catching Lilith's body and preventing Dyon from touching her anymore. They glared at him with rage-filled eyes.

'Calm down, or else you'll expose yourselves.' Dyon sent the two boys a warning. The two little fools were a step away from releasing their devil qi.

'Plus.' Dyon thought to himself. 'I didn't even touch her. Who asked her to go all out like that? Even if she had comprehended a 2nd stage dao, her body isn't prepared to use it. She passed out because of her actions, not mine.'

What Lilith did was almost tantamount to suicide. Not only did she call down her sword dao, but she actually internalized it.

Daos could appear in two forms. They could either appear like Dyon's half-step daos – an array blinking in the air. Or, they could be internalized or fused with the body. The second form is far more powerful, but also excessively dangerous if your bodily strength wasn't powerful enough.

Lilith chose to internalize her dao so it wouldn't be exposed that she had comprehended one. There was nothing she would hate more than to become even more of a spotlighted character than she already was. But, that decision greatly harmed her. Dyon wouldn't be surprised if her soul was damaged once more.

Of course, internalizing a dao wasn't simply a matter of choice. Not just anyone could do it. It was necessary to have a powerful dao heart that resonated with your comprehended will. Meaning, Dyon, who was still without a dao heart to speak of, would never be able to replicate Lilith's feat. n0VElUsb.c0m

'Stupid.' Dyon frowned. He found himself worrying about this stupid prideful girl. It was as though she damaged her soul once more on purpose all so that she could sever ties with him. What the hell did he do to make her so mad?

Lilith's two little brothers froze at Dyon's words, and although they continued to glare at him, they retracted their auras.

"Fifth Elder." Dyon called down to the Enigmatic Sect Elder. "I'll be taking Lilith and her brothers with me. Will that be an issue?"

The Fifth Elder awkwardly rubbed his head. "Technically, no. Disciple Lilith and her family are only honorary disciples of our sect that help to raise our Faith with their merits in exchange for resources, so they aren't tied down to us. But, I still feel that it's a bit inappro –"

"Thanks old man." Dyon smiled, causing the Fifth Elder's lips to twitch.

'So shameless...'

The crowd of spectators blushed in Dyon's stead. It seemed that True God Sacharro might gain another nickname after today.

"And you." Dyon turned toward Sokzac. "If you want to defeat me, you're not going to do it stay here."

Sokzac and the other devil path geniuses knew that they had no choice but to follow Dyon. Even though they signed a soul contract with him, stating that they would never reveal the matters that happened in Soul Quadrant so long as he didn't reveal their true identities, they had learned in recent years that that Soul Contract might as well be a piece of toilet paper.

Dyon was a Moon Lord! According to the martial world, anyway.

His soul was far more powerful than theirs, so it was obvious that his wasn't bound to the contract the same way they were. They had no choice but to follow.

Still, Sokzac grit his teeth at Dyon's words.

'Someday, I'll crush you!'

Moments later, the devil qi geniuses had gathered and Dyon was face to face with the Fifth Elder. Amphorae had returned to his side once more, it seemed she had had her fun.

"I've been a bit shameless today." Dyon said straightforwardly.

The Fifth Elder, who was trying very hard to hide his bitter expression, looked toward Dyon, stunned.

"N-no..." The image of the Fifth Elder trying to appease a junior like this was definitely a new one for those who had followed him here.

Dyon shook his head. "I know my faults. But there are some things that I must do as the Legatee of my Clan. However, this doesn't mean that we can't still be friends."

The Fifth Elder sighed. "I understand. It seems your relationship with Lilith isn't normal."

Dyon raised an eyebrow. "Huh?..."

"No... Nevermind." The Fifth Elder felt like kicking himself. It seemed he had said something when he shouldn't have. But, seeing that Amphorae had an amused expression, he seemed to understand something in all his wisdom.

'So True God Sacharro is unaware... You'd think with all the women he had around him, he would be familiar with a gaze of jealousy.'
