It was late at night, and the breeze was gentle.
Wang Xu stood next to a monster carcass with a severed head. He took out a piece of tissue from his Emperor's Heart Ring and wiped the blood on his demigod relic, Waning Moon.
The Waning Moon was a scimitar that looked like a crescent moon.
Wang Xu had custom-made this mid-grade demigod relic scimitar before he entered the Fallen God Land. He had spent almost all of his savings.
However, he thought it was worth it. He had been using it for the past few days, and he even felt that his ability had improved.
After wiping the blood, a cold gleam flashed on the silver scimitar.
He put away the monster carcass and tossed the tissue on the ground. Just when he was about to leave, Wang Xu sensed a surge of energy coming from far away.
"Is this a battle between monsters from the Red Gold Palace?!" He lifted his head and looked at the source of the energy, hesitating.
If it were the past, he would definitely choose to avoid such a situation because he had just broken through to the Red Gold Palace less than half a year ago. The chances of him winning against an experienced monster from the Red Gold Palace were too slim.
Looking at the Waning Moon in his hand, Wang Xu hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he made up his mind and a ferocious gleam flashed through his eyes.
"The bold ones will be stuffed while the timid ones will be starved. I might not lose even if I were to fight them head-on. Moreover, they're fighting now. As long as I hide, I'll be able to reap the benefits when the battle is over. "
Wang Xu put the scimitar back into his body as he thought to this point. He flew into the sky and headed toward the source of the energy wave.
Under the dim light of the night, the black robe was almost invisible. Only the white circle on the back of the robe was slightly conspicuous. In the circle, a purple crow was perched on a branch. It looked agile and even a little like a living creature.
His collar was swaying in the wind. There was a purple metal piece the size of a thumb inside his collar. It looked exactly the same as the crow on his coat. It was a Purple Crow.
Sensing that the energy fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger, Wang Xu gradually slowed down and lowered his flying altitude.
After flying for more than 800 kilometers, he finally saw the two of them fighting.
It was a human in the Red Gold Palace realm who was hunting a monster in the Red Gold Palace.
The human was covered in a black robe. Lin Huang could not tell which organization he belonged to. His weapon was a demigod long sword relic, and his ability was extraordinary.
His opponent was a Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion, a poisonous undying species.
This monster had the ability to regenerate at a super speed. It could heal almost any injury in an instant. The only way to kill such a monster was to destroy its heart in one strike.
The black-robed man seemed to know this as well, so he kept trying to attack its heart. However, the black-robed man's defense was impenetrable.
The man and the beast seemed to be evenly matched, and both of them were very strong.
Wang Xu also saw the gap between him and the veteran Red Gold Palace. Even with Waning Moon, he was still slightly weaker.
However, he did not intend to leave. Instead, he continued to hide in a bush several kilometers away, concealing his presence to the extreme.
On the battlefield of one man and one beast, the two fought fiercely for more than ten minutes. Suddenly, the black-robed man's attacks weakened.
"What's going on? Is he poisoned? " Just when Wang Xu was puzzled, the black-robed man retreated all of a sudden. The direction he retreated to was where Wang Xu was hiding.
"Oh, no!"
Wang Xu did not think that he had been discovered. He thought the black-robed man might have been poisoned and was running away since he could not fight it. Coincidentally, he chose the direction where Wang Xu was hiding.
The Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion chased after the black-robed man as soon as he ran.
However, the black-robed man only dodged its attack or led it to other places. He did not fight back.
Tails lashed out one after another in the air, creating huge craters on the ground.
One of the attacks was even led away by the black-robed man. It headed toward where Wang Xu was hiding.
Feeling helpless, Wang Xu retreated immediately and dodged the attack.
Although he managed to dodge the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion's attack, Wang Xu was exposed.
"Brother, you're finally here!" The black-robed man shouted at Wang Xu all of a sudden, "Help me kill this monster!"
The Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion began to attack Wang Xu immediately upon hearing that.
Wang Xu only snapped back to his senses after being stunned for a while. He did not want to get involved in this mess at all. However, the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion regarded him as the black-robed man's partner. He was being attacked indiscriminately.
"I know you were hiding here just now because you wanted to reap the benefits of others. However, don't you think you can escape now. " The black-robed man spoke again through voice transmission, "Work with me. We can split the loot fifty-fifty after we kill it. It's fine if you don't agree. I'll leave now and you won't get anything. "
"Alright, let's work together!" Although Wang Xu agreed to it verbally, he had other plans in mind. "Since you're poisoned, I'll kill you after we kill this monster."
"You restrain its scorpion tail while I look for an opportunity to attack its heart." The black-robed man arranged immediately.
"Why don't you restrain the scorpion tail?" Wang Xu was a little unwilling.
"Your saber is more suitable for ranged defense while my sword is more suitable for single-point attacks."
Wang Xu could not refute what the black-robed man said. He had chosen the scimitar as his weapon back then because of its powerful cutting ability. On the other hand, it was because he had a defensive sword skill that was suitable for such a saber.
Feeling helpless, Wang Xu could only pounce at the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion.
Wang Xu blocked the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion's scorpion tail attack with his saber. Just when he was thinking about how to deal with the black-robed man after killing the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion, he sensed danger coming from behind him all of a sudden.
Just when he was about to dodge, the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion's scorpion tail whipped at him again and sealed his escape route.
In the next second, a silver gleam pierced through his left chest.
As his consciousness faded, he heard a voice by his ears. "I'm sorry, I wasn't poisoned at all. I pretended to retreat because I wanted to kill you first so that I can fight the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion. "
After killing a core member of the Purple Crow, the black-robed man fought the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion again without even looking at the carcass.
Approximately half an hour later, the Seven-tailed Magic Scorpion became the second carcass on the battlefield.
The black-robed man removed his hat and picked up Wang Xu's scimitar. He then transformed into Wang Xu …
Tens of thousands of kilometers away, Lin Huang nodded with a smile after watching the battle's outcome.
"The Evil Dominator's performance isn't too shabby. Since you helped him kill an imperial-level crimson gold-rank and an imperial-level yellow gold-rank two days ago and obtained two Golden Cicada Substitutes, he now possesses the ability to kill imperial-level crimson gold-rank powerhouses. He can even fight imperial-level yellow gold-rank powerhouses if he plays his trump card. "
"Unfortunately, the Golden Cicada can only create human substitutes. Otherwise, he would have at least ten Red Gold Palace monster substitutes by now. The Evil Blood Substitute doesn't have a species restriction, but it has a time restriction. Both skills have their own flaws, "Bloody commented.
Lin Huang smiled without saying anything. The Evil Dominator should be invincible if both skills had no flaws.
Lin Huang had both skills. The Evil Blood Substitute was exactly the same as the Evil Dominator. There was almost no difference between them.
However, his Golden Cicada was extracted from the evil spirit's body by Xiao Hei. It was a weakened version and he could only use the substitute three times a day. (See Chapter 769 for details.)
Lin Huang did not pay much attention to the substitute ability. After all, when he was killing the evil spirit, it only seemed to be a little difficult to kill. It was not that powerful.
However, it seemed like the more powerful his ability was, the more terrifying the ability was.
Just like the immortal-level rank-9 Evil Dominator, as long as he summoned an imperial-level yellow gold-rank substitute, his ability would skyrocket to imperial-level yellow gold-rank. It would be countless times more powerful than his actual body.
"With my current body strength, I should be able to handle the Red Gold Palace's substitute. It's a level more powerful than using the Knight skill to elevate my combat strength. Moreover, the Golden Cicada can replicate the substitute's inheritance, memory, and ability completely … "Lin Huang had a new idea as he thought to this point.
