Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 920 - 38: Joyous Tribulation (Part 3)

Defeated.

She was actually defeated.

Madam Xieleng was in disbelief; she was defeated by Yue Jinghua.

The Cloud Rhythm Rain Master Zither in her hands, all ten strings were broken, and under the moonlight, the snapped strings mockingly "looked" at her.

In mid-air, the girl with a frost-like face, dressed in a lady’s dress, under the moonlight, appeared like a War God clad in battle armor, looking down at her.

She, of the Xileng Family, the head of the Xileng Family, and the wife of Mercenary King Bo Sai, never thought there would be such a day.

Madam Xieleng closed her eyes in pain.

Yue Jinghua was never a merciful person; she understood that tonight, she must kill Madam Xieleng.

Just as she was about to strike, a ripple appeared behind her in the air, like a stone suddenly thrown into the calm surface of a lake.

A wave of pressure surged, causing Yue Jinghua to suddenly turn around, the Great Sword in her hand shielding her chest.

Before the person arrived, the Dark Power had already struck.

A heavy palm strike unexpectedly hit Yue Jinghua in front; if it weren’t for the timely defense of her Great Sword, she would have been seriously injured by now. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Even with the Lianyun Great Sword, Yue Jinghua felt her entire body surging with Qi and blood, her bones emitting painful groans.

Such a powerful strike.

With a formidable enemy before her, Yue Jinghua did not hesitate for a moment. She swung her Great Sword, unleashing Sword Qi in the dark, appearing like a white ribbon slicing across the sky.

"Boom," a palm shadow collided with Yue Jinghua’s Sword Qi.

Like two huge waves colliding during high tide, the Sword Qi and palm power clashed again, this time twisting even the air.

Yue Jinghua’s nerves were on edge, her gaze fixed fiercely toward the northeast.

A huge shadow was approaching, resembling a flying ship, but only when it got closer did Yue Jinghua realize it was an enormous giant dragon.

"Mercenary King Bo Sai," as the shadow approached, it revealed a three-headed dragon, spread with dragon wings like an airplane, gliding down from mid-air.

Standing on the back of the giant dragon was Mercenary King Bo Sai.

Among the Ten Strongest on Canglong Continent, Long Ao had already fallen, and the other strong ones had vanished from the world; the most active on the continent was King of Mercenaries Bo Sai.

After becoming a mercenary, Yue Jinghua had heard many legends about the Mercenary King, mostly about Bo Sai.

Mercenary King Bo Sai was a legendary figure. His legend lay not only in his cultivation; the thing most talked about was his dragon riding.

The Dragon Knight Mercenary Corps Group was composed of only three people, each possessing a dragon. The other two had Sub-Asian Dragons, but Mercenary King Bo Sai’s dragon was a True Dragon.

With Yue Jinghua’s keen eyesight, she immediately recognized the three-headed giant dragon, akin to her Nuoyan, as a rare Bronze Giant Dragon.

The Dragon Clan is immensely proud; if even the Sub-Asian Dragons with partial dragon blood are so, then the Bronze Giant Dragon with True Dragon blood is even more so.

Conquering a Bronze Giant Dragon requires more than just luck; strength plays a significant role.

Bo Xiyu died in Si Xiang City, so it wasn’t a surprise that Madam Xieleng and Bo Sai came for revenge. Yue Jinghua just didn’t expect Bo Sai to be even stronger than the legends said.

Those two palm strikes earlier, though Yue Jinghua barely evaded them, they hadn’t even begun fighting formally yet, and Yue Jinghua could already sense that Bo Sai was stronger than her.

Using the mysterious power from the Hurricane Rocky Area, Yue Jinghua forcefully broke through the Dan Realm, forming one of the rare Liangyi Pills in the world. However, she had just broken through recently, while Bo Sai had done so decades ago, making her seem much weaker in comparison.

The two confronted each other mid-air.

Bo Sai looked down at the girl below.

"So, you are Yue Jinghua!" Mercenary King Bo Sai spoke.

"And you are Bo Sai!" Yue Jinghua was not the least bit fearful.

She quickly drew a Six-pointed Star with her hand, and the Plane Dragon King Noah appeared beside her.

Noah’s form was much smaller than the three-headed giant dragon, but it was fearless like a newborn calf facing a tiger, roaring continuously at the three-headed giant dragon.

Two Bronze Giant Dragons, a well-established king in the Mercenary World, and a newly rising star of the Mercenary World.

The two maintained their standoff under such a moonlit night.

"Bo Sai, our son, Bo Xiyu is dead," Madam Xieleng’s voice was shattered, her accusation resounding, "It’s her, this woman, who killed Xiyu, our son. Our only son."

Bo Sai stood atop the three-headed giant dragon, and sighed long, "Xileng, don’t you understand even now? Xiyu wouldn’t have died in Four Symbols City if you hadn’t insisted on him winning the Xuyang Trial. You know, Xiyu killed himself; no one else is to blame."

Madam Xieleng was silent.

Bo Sai again looked at Yue Jinghua, his gaze gradually softening, "Because of you, one of my sons died, but because of you, I gained another son. I’ve already lost one son; I do not wish to lose another."

Yue Jinghua seemed to understand something, lowering her head, only to see Qin Dongting in the deep courtyard of the Duke Mansion, looking up at the sky.

His gaze was filled with warmth and a hint of anxiety.

The focus of his eyes remained only on Yue Jinghua.

As for the Mercenary King who fathered him but never raised him, it was as if he never entered his line of sight.

Yue Jinghua waved her jade hand, and before her and Bo Sai, a domain was set up, making the world, the sun, moon, stars, Madam Xieleng, Qin Dongting, the three-headed dragon, and Dragon King Noah all disappear.

"Domain Lock?! Little girl, do you truly not know the fear of death? Do you understand what Domain Lock means? Do you wish to challenge me?" Mercenary King Bo Sai’s expression changed, for strong individuals only used Domain Lock for one purpose, to lock the domain into a private battleground.

Only in this way could the environment around not be destroyed by the combat.

He examined Yue Jinghua, like he had suddenly discovered something intriguing: "The fluctuation of Dark Power on you? If I’m not mistaken, you broke through in the Hurricane Rocky Area outside Four Symbols City?!"

"Indeed, my feeling was right; you have the same Dark Power fluctuation as I do," Yue Jinghua realized upon meeting Mercenary King Bo Sai that there was something unusual.

"Haha, who would have thought that after so many years, someone else would foolishly attempt to explore the Origin Power like me? So be it, it seems a battle between us is necessary. A new Mercenary King hasn’t appeared on the continent for a long time. Perhaps it’s time for a new mercenary ruler to emerge," Mercenary King Bo Sai expressed with both sentiment and sigh.

A massive wave of Dark Power emanated from his side.

Yue Jinghua did not dare to be careless, releasing all the Dark Power from her body.

In both their eyes, flames of determination to resolve the battle flickered.
