Chapter 416 413- The Star Bound Continent (2)

Sea King Modu didn't want to waste not even a second, he was going to kill this projection of old man South Border before grabbing those nutrients. he didn't even care for Shi Lei Hu or elder Hong, they'll die all the same.

For old man South Border, Sea King Modu knew he was stuck at the wall. For him to send a projection here was already difficult for him, there was no way he could resist being killed by him when he wasn't even at full power.

As the black beam shot towards old man South Border, Sea King Modu was prepared to see his projection swallowed up and destroyed.

However, contrary to his expectations old man South Border suddenly waved his hand forwards. In the portal behind him, a terrifying aura rose from the second wall as it shone with blinding golden light. But that golden light suddenly condensed into a single point and shot towards the portal in a beam of light.

As it left the second wall, a noticeable luster was lost from the wall and small cracks even appeared on it.

The sonic boom from the beam of golden light's speed was still echoing out when it appeared in front old man South Border.

BANG!

The beam of light clashed with Sea King Modu's attack resulting in the void distorting and then shattering.

However, the shattered void easily recovered. The aftermath of the clash calm down and Sea King Modu looked to see what that beam of light that blocked his attack was.

The beam of light was a golden harpoon that was around fifteen meters long and it had a sinister pointed head that gave one the feeling that it could penetrate the thickest of Sea Beasts' skins.

"W-What is that weapon?"

Sea King Modu asked as he looked at the harpoon with apprehension. The aura it was releasing caused slight fear to creep into his heart.

"This is a Celestial Treasure made from the accumulation of my power. If you insist on battle then I'll sacrifice everything to kill you right here."

Sea King Modu hearing old man South Border's declaration immediately retorted.

"Impossible! A coward like you wouldn't make such a rash decision. You're only bluffing and I won't fall for such pitiful tricks!"

"That wasn't a baseless warning, it was a fucking threat."

Sea King Modu hearing his words being thrown back in his face was enraged, but he realized that something was different about old man South Border.

From his observations in the past, he knew he was someone that reserved his strength and did not make a move unless the wall itself was in danger of falling. But now here he was saying he was going to sacrifice everything to kill him.

"Bastard, you really have gone mad. But even with that Celestial Weapon, you have only one opportunity to use it, do you think you'll be able to kill me?"

"No, I'm not confident in killing you myself. However…"

As old man South Border's voice trailed off, three more golden portals similar to his own opened up and three indistinct translucent figures stepped out.

They weren't able to create a projection as clear as old man South Border, but the terrifying aura that accompany their three harpoons was almost similar in power to his own.

"…I'm not alone."

Sea King Modu seeing this began to slightly panic.

If all four of the Border Guardians decided to sacrifice themselves to kill him right here, this sea bed might very well be his grave.

But Sea King Modu couldn't just leave like this. His clone was destroyed along with his drop of blood essence projection by that brat, causing his power to significantly drop. But this was also precisely why this situation was so dangerous. And that was not even adding the fact that he was still recovering from the injuries he suffered two decades ago while fighting the former Leviathan Race Sea King.

"Damn it, this isn't over, I'll be back and I will destroy those borders before enslaving you human cultivators."

After saying those words, Sea King Modu dove back into the Ocean and hurriedly swam away just as fast as he came.

Even though there was a high possibility that this was just one big bluff on old man South Border's part, he truly did not have the guts to call that bluff.

After Sea King Modu left and the Ocean waves calm down, old man South Border released a sigh before turning to the three indistinct figures and cupping his fist.

"Fellow Border Guardians, I thank you all for your help."

"Senior, there is no need for this. Protecting the border and the continent is our duty as much as it is yours."

One of the figures said, and their voice was that of a woman. From how pleasing to the ears it sounds, it seems like this person was once a beauty before becoming like this. Even with her indistinct and unclear projection some of her curves could still be seen.

"That's right senior, sister Lin is correct."

"I agree. . ."

The two other Border Guardians who sound like an old man and someone middle-aged, both shared the same sentiments.

Old man South Border smiled, before saying.

"Thank you everyone for your kind words, because I have another request I'd like your help with."

"Is it to send these disciples off?"

"Yes, I'm still not convinced we managed to resolve the matter with that Sea King. He is arrogant and after suffering a loss like this he will surely try something."

The old man among the figures snorted and said.

"That Sea King is too insufferable!"

"He's annoying but we still have to acknowledge the danger he poses."

Said the middle-aged man.

"Senior, what do you we do suggest? We can't escort them all the way, perhaps you intend for us to…"

The woman Border Guardian didn't finish her sentence but old man South Border knew what she going to say and he nodded.

"We'll use our combined power to open a spatial tear."

For Soul Transformation cultivators and above, they had the ability to use their comprehension of Heavenly Laws to tear open the void to travel long distances. It was much further than what they could teleport, however, in this situation…

"It will be difficult with such a big ship."

The middle-aged Border Guardian voiced his concerns.

"But this is something we have to do in order to ensure that Sea King Modu doesn't acquire those kids."

The woman was actually the one to say these words, and the others agreed.

As for how she knew Sea Kig Modu's goals without being told, all Border Guardians were connected to the wall, so there was a link between all of them. This made it easy for old man South Border to share his memories with them.

Soon, they all decided it was best to open a spatial tear.

They soon released their power and holding their harpoons they slashed at the void.

The void in front of the ship facing this bombardment instantly shatter. A gigantic tear the size of the ship was torn in the fabric of space showing a dark void beyond.

The disciples on the ship seeing this didn't know what was going on and were slightly frighting.

"Shi Lei Hu, we could only open a spatial tear to shorten the journey. We couldn't bring them all the way so you need to escort them the rest of the way safely."

Shi Lei Hu who was on the ship cupped his fist and yelled a confirmation.

However, he suddenly asked.

"Should I stay to accompany them until the tournament is over and they have to return from the Hidden Realm?"

Old man South Border thought for a moment and was about to nod his head, but elder Hong suddenly spoke.

"Actually, my Mercenary Association has been working on a teleportation circle between the continents. We regrettably weren't able to complete the teleportation circles in time, but in the months that the Tournament is ongoing we should be able to complete them. I'll even inform them of what happened here…p-partly so the process can be sped up."

Elder Hong stuttered at the end because Shi Lei Hu had shot him a glare when he said he would inform his Mercenary Association what happened here.

Some things just weren't meant to see the light of day, like Yang Su and the others' matters. It would only bring unnecessary trouble the more people that knew.

They were talents of the Maple Continent who were going to represent them in the Chosen Tournament, so even without Sea King Modu being after them for nefarious reasons they were still to be protected.

The Mercenary Association might be a neutral power, but they were also established on the other Continents, and those branches weren't necessarily going to be friendly to them.

Elder Hong swallowed a lump of saliva before he formed hand seals causing the ship to move towards the spatial tear.

The ship was completely damaged and was unable to display its speed like before but it should get to the Star Bound Continent without problems.

Soon the ship fully entered the spatial tear that closed behind it.

Hidden several kilometers away in the Ocean, Sea King Modu was watching this. He almost coughed out blood somehow from anger when he realized his plan to attack the ship once old man South Border leaves was completely ruined.

He cursed internally before making a big scene while swimming away, this time for good.

Old man South Border turn in his direction and sighed.

"That accursed Sea King was indeed planning something, thanks to senior we managed to avoid another disaster."

"Thanks, everyone for your help. You can go and recover now, I won't hesitate anymore to take action when necessary and I'll be asking for your help more in the future."

Old man South Border bowed while cupping his fist as the others entered their portals after replying enthusiastically.

After he was alone, old man South Border turned to where the ship had left.

"I can't help but feel the disaster I was so worried about has something to do with those youths."

Old man South Border sighed for the umpteenth time before he entered his own portal and went back to the Southern Border.
