"Little Qing, Little Gu, I … did my best." The water shaman walked back and sighed.
He did not need to think to know how disappointed and depressed Ran Gu and Qing Xi, who had always been close to his eldest disciple, were.
"Master, you've already done very well."
Suddenly, Ran Gu's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
The water shaman looked up and saw Ran Gu looking at him with a gentle smile.
"That's right, Master. You were amazing today. That was the Nine Tribulations King, recognized as the strongest ruler in the universe. You were on par with him just now. If it weren't for that little bit at the end, you would have defeated him. You're already very strong!"
Qingxi raised her head and laughed loudly with an especially proud look.
Seeing this, the water shaman couldn't help but feel a little touched. His originally heavy mood also lightened a little.
"Don't talk nonsense. The Nine Tribulations King only used a casual palm, but I used all my strength. How can they be compared?" The water shaman glared at Qing Xi and scolded jokingly.
"Aiya, it's about the same," Qing Xi said with a smile.
Jian Wushuang looked at this scene from the side and felt a little warm in his heart.
In the hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, he was used to seeing killing and plundering, used to seeing coldness in human relationships, and used to seeing indifference in the world. However, he rarely saw people as pure and simple as these three people in front of him.
After a while, Hegemon Water Sorcerer looked at Jian Wushuang and said apologetically, "My young friend Blood Sword, we're planning to leave the Tai Luo Relic, so we can't protect you."
Jian Wushuang nodded and replied, "Where do you plan to go next, Master Water Shaman?"
"Back to our own star field. Although it's a little remote, it's safe and there aren't many strong people there. Perhaps it's more suitable for us," the water shaman replied in a low voice.
Jian Wushuang thought for a moment and then nodded. For them, perhaps returning to their own star field was indeed the best choice.
Therefore, he did not say anything to stop them.
Even though Jian Wushuang believed that he would have no problem protecting the three of them with his current strength, forcing them to stay here might not be a good thing for them.
He respected the decision of the master and disciples.
"Little friend Blood Sword, let's meet again if we have the chance."
"Goodbye, Blood Sword. We are in the Mountain Sun Star Boundary of the Void Wind Star Zone. If you have time, you can come and find us."
"Blood Sword, you're not that strong either. It's best if you leave this place as well. I don't want to see you die here like my Eldest Senior Brother. Oh, I don't mean that you're going to die. Anyway, take care of yourself."
The Water Shaman Sovereign, Ran Gu, and Qing Xi all bade farewell to Jian Wushuang.
"Definitely."
Jian Wushuang smiled and nodded.
Then, the three of them left the place and walked into the distance.
As for Jian Wushuang, he pulled down the brim of his hood and lowered his head as he walked step by step toward the Nine Tribulations King. Jian Wushuang, who was wearing a large black robe and had pulled down the brim of his hood, completely obscuring his face. Only his chin was faintly visible.
"What is this Fourth Stage Sovereign trying to do?"
"Hmm? Could it be that this Fourth Stage Sovereign wants to test his skills against the Nine Tribulations King? "
"Fourth Stage Sovereign? What a joke. "
Amidst the discussion, Jian Wushuang's expression was calm as he stood in front of the Nine Tribulations King.
"You want to try too?" The Nine Tribulations King lowered his head and looked at Jian Wushuang. His gaze suddenly froze.
Beside him, the Qingfeng Divine Marquis also frowned.
Within the Tai Luo Ruins, there were many Ultimate Sovereigns. However, there were very few Fifth Stage Sovereigns. As for Fourth Stage Sovereigns, they were even rarer.
Now that a Fourth Stage Sovereign had appeared in front of him, carrying a divine sword on his back, it was obvious that he was a swordsman.
This made the Nine Tribulations King think of Jian Wushuang.
However, the Nine Tribulations King quickly rejected this thought. The reason was that the aura coming from the Black Sect person was very different from Jian Wushuang's.
In the Nine Tribulations King's impression, Jian Wushuang's aura was calm and reserved, like a peerless divine sword hidden in its scabbard.
However, the black-robed person in front of him gave off the feeling of extreme darkness and extreme coldness, without a shred of emotion.
The difference in aura was so great that the Nine Tribulations King and the Qingfeng Divine Marquis did not recognize Jian Wushuang.
This was because after Jian Wushuang gained control of the Tai Luo Holy Sword, his soul aura could be completely concealed by the Tai Luo Holy Sword. The extremely cold and dark aura that he gave off now was the aura of the Tai Luo Holy Sword.
Under such circumstances, unless the Nine Tribulations King saw Jian Wushuang's appearance, or if he could recognize Jian Wushuang from his body shape or simple movements like Leng Rushuang, the Nine Tribulations King and the Qingfeng Divine Marquis naturally did not recognize Jian Wushuang.
They only thought that the black-robed person in front of them was another Fourth Stage Sovereign who was exploring the Tai Luo Ruins, and the type who did not know his own strength.
Even the weaker Ultimate Sovereigns could not take a hit from the Nine Tribulations King. Many people thought that a Fourth Stage Sovereign was indeed overestimating his own strength.
At this moment, Jian Wushuang was completely covered in a black robe. After hearing the Nine Tribulations King's words, he did not reply. Instead, he reached out and pulled out the Divine Sword on his back.
Jian Wushuang carried two divine swords on his back. The divine sword he had just pulled out was crimson in color and faintly emanated a sharpness that could cut through the firmament. It was the Wu Qi divine sword that had undergone a complete makeover after being modified by the Zenith Sword Spirit.
The other sword was wrapped in ancient vines and had an ordinary aura.
"Make your move." A hoarse voice came from under the black robe.
"Hiding the head but showing the tail, deliberately mystifying things. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth." The Nine Tribulations King shook his head expressionlessly. Then, he raised his right hand and pressed it down on Jian Wushuang.
Boom ~ ~ ~!
In an instant, the giant palm that had defeated countless enemies condensed in the void and covered the heavens. With terrifying power, it pressed down on Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang looked as if he had been scared out of his wits. His head was still lowered, and he had no intention of resisting.
Instantly, countless Ultimate Sovereigns who were watching the scene could not help but laugh at the misfortune of others.
"This little guy must have never seen such a terrifying palm before."
"Hahaha, look, he's scared out of his wits."
"The juniors nowadays are really overestimating their own strength."
The Ultimate Sovereigns laughed and shook their heads.
To them, Jian Wushuang's volunteering was like a comical interlude in a solemn atmosphere.
"Watch carefully. This little guy will definitely be traumatized by the Nine Tribulations King's palm."
