Seeking the Flying Sword Path-Chapter 687 - The Despairing Palatial Lord Myriad Flower

“We wouldn’t dare join you,” said Hou Yi.

The red-dressed man shook his head gently. “That’s nothing I can do then.” As he spoke, he gently waved the branch in his hand. Although there were only a few pink flowers on the branch, thousands of flowers flew out from his casual wave. Instantly, the surrounding space began to warp.

“Collect!”

At the moment their opponent waved, Kong Xuan shouted.

The Five-colored Divine Light flashed out of the spatial tide and swept across the red-dressed man. To his astonishment, the flowering branch he held in his hand vanished into thin air.

“What?” Mochen and the other experts who were lying in wait to benefit from the skirmish had changes in expression.

“How is it possible!?”

“It was taken away without leaving any way to resist?”

“It was snatched away upon their meeting?”

They were somewhat in disbelief. They had no doubts about Palatial Lord Myriad Flower’s strength; after all, even Island Lord was unable to take him down in person! Now, his item had been snatched from him without any warning?

…

Kong Xuan’s Five-colored Divine Light was famous in the Three Realms. Even Buddhist Ancestor, Gautama, had been taken down out of carelessness once despite being at the Heavenly Dao realm. Of course, he escaped immediately after.

“Boom!”

Kong Xuan’s Five-colored Divine Light quaked the surroundings before suddenly cracking apart. The red-dressed man escape with a grotesque expression. However, his hands were empty. After having his flowering branch taken by Kong Xuan, he had no means of finding it again.

Kong Xuan was in no way surprised seeing him escape. He said via a voice transmission, “This Five-colored Divine Light of mine can snatch dead objects rather easily, but to do it on the living… especially a perfected Great Dao expert, it’s only possible to repress their strength and can hardly be used as an imprisonment.”

Qin Yun, Hou Yi, and Goumang were rendered speechless when they heard that.

To take down a perfected Great Dao existence upon meeting?

If he could do that…

Kong Xuan would probably be recognized as a half-step Heavenly Dao realm. His might would even be above that of Hou Yi and Qin Yun.

However, it was clear that enhancing such heaven-defying means was very difficult.

“It’s really a nice ability.” After the red-dressed man retreated, he stared angrily at Kong Xuan and immediately flew outwards.

He was very careful to begin with. He planned on attacking without straying too far from Myriad Flower Palace.

However, after his item was snatched by the Five-colored Divine Light, he was still not far from Qin Yun and company despite escaping. He was also very far from Myriad Flower Palace.

“You want to escape?” Goumang immediately produced vines from his body that streaked across space and went straight for the red-dressed man.

Hua!

The Five-colored Divine Light domain was still repressing him!

Under the domain’s repression, the red-dressed man’s strength had weakened by twenty to thirty percent. Against Goumang’s dozens of vines that enveloped the surrounding space, the red-dressed man did not dare act carelessly. He immediately flipped his hand and held a long whip with both hands.

“He definitely wouldn’t be able to snatch my Roots of the World if I clasp them tightly.” Just as this thought flashed in the red-dressed man’s mind, a flash appeared in the Five-colored Divine Light domain.

The Roots of the World in the red-dressed man’s hands vanished!

As he looked at his empty hands and the dozens of vines that came hurtling at him, the man was pushed to the brink of insanity. “I have to fight them empty-handed?”

He knew himself well.

As an expert in array formations, he needed to spend more effort to fight enemies in close combat. However, his close-combat strength was inferior to the half-step Primordial realm. To fight his enemies empty-handed… he would no doubt die if the four other-universe experts were to join forces!

The red-dressed man had another thought as sixteen stone slabs appeared in front of him. They were filled with strange patterns that formed a world in and of itself. It began to protect his surroundings.

“Collect.” With a thought from Kong Xuan, the sixteen stone slabs vanished.

“How can that…” The man revealed a maniacal look. He waved his hand again as nine black flowers surfaced.

“Collect.”

The nine black flowers vanished as well.

After the man had his Roots of the World, the stone slabs, and the black flowers taken away in succession, Goumang’s vines had already arrived in front of him, giving him no time to take out other treasures. Furthermore, each of the treasures he took out were weaker than the preceding one. The nine black flowers were already unable to aid him much.

“Why is this happening?” The red-dressed man could only flail his hands and produce two red beams of light to protect himself.

However, the vines quickly twirled around him, each having extremely powerful strength. As buckling sounds were heard, the red light that surrounded the red-dressed man quickly cracked.

“How did I find myself in this state?” The man could hardly believe it himself. His protective move was completely cracked open as vines began binding him.

“Ahhhh!”

He roared as his expression turned even more grotesque. His skin began to flush red all over.

Boom!

His body exploded, but beams of sanguine light flew in every direction! Each sanguine line moved at extremely fast speeds. They were also of great strength. Even in the Five-colored Divine Light domain, their speeds still left Qin Yun and company somewhat astonished.

Qin Yun commanded with his mind. “Seal.”

The Misty Rain Array expanded suddenly.

It expanded to envelop an area five thousand kilometers across, completely trapping the escaping sanguine light within.

Bam! Bam! Bam!!!

As the beams of sanguine light struck the Misty Rain Array, the array remained as deep and imperturbable as a dark sea. It churned a little before withstanding the impact.

“Why is this happening?”

The dozens of sanguine light beams were scattered everywhere as they formed a manifestation of the red-dressed man’s figure.

All of them wore looks of despair.

He was best at array formations! Yet despite that being his main talent, he was not give a chance to use any artifacts for the setting up of an array formation? All he could do was face his enemy empty-handed? Furthermore, he was being ganked?

“Brother Kong Xuan’s Five-colored Divine Light is truly powerful. There’s nothing it can’t snatch away,” said Qin Yun with a laughing voice transmission.

“Qin Yun, your flying sword is an Intrinsic Flying Sword. It’s one with your Essence Soul, so snatching your flying sword is equivalent to containing your Essence Soul. It’s impossible to snatch it away,” said Kong Xuan via a voice transmission. “Hou Yi’s bow and arrow are similarly immune to my ability when he injects his Heart Force into them.”

“However, weapons of most perfected Great Dao experts can be taken by you,” said Hou Yi with a voice transmission.

“However, they all know my means, so few of them will fight me with their weapons,” said Kong Xuan with a voice transmission.

Indeed.

When perfected Great Dao experts met Kong Xuan, they would put away their weapons and would rather fight him empty-handed.

Thankfully, other than Kong Xuan’s impressive domain means, his close combat strength was only considered average among perfected Great Dao existences. Therefore, the fear he struck in others wasn’t ludicrous.

But even so, Kong Xuan was publicly recognized as one of the few who was close to the half-step Heavenly Dao realm.

He was recognized enough for Qin Yun to specially invite him on this trip to the spatial tide.

In a one-on-one battle, Kong Xuan’s abilities might not be the most terrifying, but when supporting Hou Yi and Qin Yun… the help he gave was immense! It was more help than the Ancestral Dragon or Amita could provide.

The vines separately captured the dozens of sanguine light avatars easily.

“He can’t escape.” Goumang laughed. At that moment, more than half the sanguine light avatars had been imprisoned by his vines. Only three sanguine light beams were still escaping with great difficulty. But where could they escape to when trapped inside the Misty Rain Array?

…

On the silver flying boat, Mochen and his five subordinates, as well as the silver-haired man’s projection were watching, dumbfounded.

They had guessed that the Palatial Lord Myriad Flower would chase after the quartet to attack them.

However, they never expected… how one-sided the battle was!

“The one who is good at snatching treasures is of higher value than Palatial Lord Myriad Flower,” muttered Mochen. “Not only is he good at snatching treasures, he can also capture experts. Even Palatial Lord Myriad Flower was captured by him. If I were able to capture him, Island Lord will give me at least ten credits. He can’t be worth less than Palatial Lord Myriad Flower.”

“Quickly take action. After he’s caught alive, it won’t be too late to negotiate with Island Lord,” said the silver-haired man’s projection. “However, be careful. You can’t use any treasures when attacking. The one who’s good at snatching treasures is just too formidable. He can practically snatch every treasure possible.”

“Don’t worry. I do not need any weapons.” Mochen gave the command. “Go!”

Sou!

The silver boat immediately zoomed towards Qin Yun and company silently.

They were finally taking action after sitting along the sidelines!
