Joyous Palace Saintess' panicked expression suddenly calmed down after hearing that. Instead, a smile climbed up her brows and she said, "Activating the Sky Burning Mirror requires extracting the power inside a cultivator's body. As far as I know, even a Golden Core Living Buddha needs to be cautious when activating the mirror. Even Miyagi can only use it for three minutes at most. Once the time is exceeded, the Buddhist power inside the cultivator's body will be sucked dry. Ki Kitagawa, I'm very curious. How much power can be extracted from you? "
Ki Kitagawa's expression stiffened and his eyes turned hazy. He wouldn't have used the Sky Burning Mirror if it wasn't for Tan Xiu who disappeared into thin air and that black-robed woman who had been using an invisibility technique.
It was the Sky Burning Mirror.
It had a terrifying attack power and a magical cloaking effect.
Ki Kitagawa wanted to figure out how the black-robed woman could hide herself. If he could capture her, he might be able to force her to reveal the invisibility technique.
"Activate!"
A deep voice came from Ki Kitagawa's mouth. In just a second, the surface of the hexagonal mirror was filled with lines. As the blood-red threads shot out from the mirror, the entire courtyard was enveloped by the red threads. The blood-red threads even began to spread outwards and gradually connected with the cyan net, covering a range of one kilometer.
"Nothing?!"
Ki Kitagawa's pupils shrunk and disbelief filled his eyes. He could sense that the black-robed woman's cultivation was definitely not at the Nascent Soul Stage. However, it was impossible for a Golden Core Stage cultivator to escape the range of the net in a short time no matter how fast she was.
'Could it be that she has some acceleration magic treasure?'
Ki Kitagawa pondered for a while and finally felt that this was the only possibility that could allow Tan Xiu and the mysterious woman to escape.
A sneer appeared on the Joyous Palace Saintess' face. After killing the two black-robed men in an instant, she said, "You should be sitting on pins and needles now, right, Ki Kitagawa? That's because they have already escaped and are probably lurking nearby, waiting for us to fight until both sides are badly injured before they can reap the benefits. "
"Hmph, my main target is you." Ki Kitagawa coldly snorted and said, "As long as I get you, not only can I make that old bald donkey's plan fail for decades, but I can also get great benefits. As for those two fellows who escaped, I'll extract the energy from your body. At that time, you'll definitely become very powerful. Then, chasing after them will be a piece of cake. "
"I think you're mistaken." Joyous Palace Saintess shook her head. "I'm not a mother cauldron. You have it."
Ki Kitagawa burst into laughter and said, "Idiot! I didn't expect that you still haven't noticed that something is wrong even now. Why do you think that old bald donkey guarded you like a flower for more than two decades, poured a lot of resources on you, and even conferred you the title of Joyous Palace Saintess? Isn't it because of your physique? Isn't it just waiting for the right time to absorb the Innate Yuan Qi in your body? At that time, not to mention your cultivation, even your life will be difficult to protect. Only death awaits you. "
Joyous Palace Saintess' expression instantly turned extremely unsightly and she angrily shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! The Palace Master isn't as filthy as you say. We're like father and daughter, how could he possibly attack me? "
"Not attack you?" Ki Kitagawa sneered. "That's because the time hasn't come yet. Your Ice Relic has yet to be completed."
"What?!"
Disbelief was written all over Joyous Palace Saintess' face as she stared fixedly at Ki Kitagawa. She didn't seem to notice that her personal guards were being crazily slaughtered by the black-clothed men. She then shouted, "How do you know about … the Ice Relic?"
"Who's my immediate superior?" Ki Kitagawa sneered. "Yin Buddha, the Vice Palace Master of Joyous Palace. He's a powerful big shot and also the confidant of that old bald donkey. As early as ten years ago, I inadvertently heard about this when he was talking with Yin Buddha. Why else do you think I have the Jade Cauldron? It's because Yin Buddha is keeping an eye on you for that old bald donkey! "
Joyous Palace Saintess' body turned cold all over. She was indeed curious about why the Palace Master never touched her and even forbade any man from touching her.
But now …
Ki Kitagawa's words cruelly tore her previous fantasy to pieces. It turned out that the real mother cauldron was not that Jade Cauldron, but she was the real mother cauldron. Or rather, she was just a … tool.
Ki Kitagawa grinned in order to strike a blow at the Joyous Palace Saintess. "You're a Saintess, so your wisdom isn't low. You should be able to figure out what kind of place the Joyous Palace is. It's a paradise for men and women, a means for all the Joyous Palace's disciples to enhance their strength with the help of men and women. But you? You've been conferred the title of Saintess, and the requirement is that you must be holy and inviolable. Tsk, tsk … how are you going to unleash the Joyous Palace's powerful cultivation art and quickly improve your strength without the love of men and women? Just relying on those cultivation resources? "
"Shut up!"
Joyous Palace Saintess angrily shouted. She glared at the four black-clad big men coming at her in fear and a dagger suddenly appeared in her hand out of thin air. A sharp sword beam shot out for more than ten meters and slashed the four men in half.
The corner of Ki Kitagawa's mouth twitched a few times. He had secretly trained hundreds of experts and nearly spent all his wealth over the years. Every death made him feel distressed. Yet, Joyous Palace Saintess had killed four of them with just one blow. More than a dozen people had died in her hands, a loss that nearly drove him crazy.
"Oh, Saintess. Since that old bald donkey will suck you dry sooner or later, you might as well let me take advantage of you. At the very least, I'll spare your cheap life and make you my slave because of your beauty. A good death … is better than a bad life! "Ki Kitagawa suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to provoke the Saintess. He was very strong and was confident that he could kill the Joyous Palace Saintess. But he also knew that this woman must have life-saving means as a Joyous Palace Saintess. She might even have a trump card. He might have gone all out and brutally captured this woman if there were no potential threats around. But now … he couldn't.
BOOM, BOOM …
Violent rumbles came from the surroundings and the entire courtyard shook violently as though there was a big earthquake.
Ki Kitagawa, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly had a drastic change in his expression. The first thought that came to his mind was that Yin Buddha had returned. In a flash, he soared tens of meters in the air and his expression turned extremely unsightly when he saw the few people outside the big net.
His guess was correct. Yin Buddha was not the only one outside, but also the two most powerful generals under him, Yang One and Yang Two.
"Go all out!"
Ki Kitagawa shouted and slashed down his long saber from the sky. The tens of meters long saber light was as fast as lightning and looked as though it was about to slash the Saintess to death.
In the periphery.
Yin Buddha's expression greatly changed. He unleashed an ancient copper seal and fiercely slammed the big net. As the net's wires broke, Yin Buddha and the other two instantly entered and appeared in the courtyard at an extremely fast speed.
Puff …
The Saintess unleashed her full strength. Although she managed to block the violent saber strike, she was still injured by the huge shockwave and was sent flying backward, smashing a hole in the wall.
"KILL!"
Yin Buddha didn't hesitate and uttered the word 'kill'. The three of them wielded their Buddhist weapons and crazily slaughtered the black-clothed men. The three of them were very strong. Aside from Yin Buddha, who was at the early-stage of Spirit Formation, even Yang Yi and Yang Two were at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
Ki Kitagawa's heart kept twitching, and his heart ached so much that he almost burst into tears. As a terrifying aura erupted from his body, an ear-piercing sound came from the strangely shaped vessel in his hand and soared into the sky.
At the same time …
Ki Kitagawa was like a ferocious tiger as he pounced toward Yin Buddha. In the past, he was very weak and was even weaker than Yin Buddha's two trusted subordinates. But at this moment, his aura was extraordinarily terrifying. With lightning speed and violent power, he slashed hundreds of times in just a short time.
"Since this is an irreconcilable situation, Yin Buddha, you old bald donkey will go to hell first!"
Yin Buddha blocked all of Ki Kitagawa's attacks and grinned. "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, Ki Kitagawa. Palace Master has long since ordered me to investigate the traitor, but I've never found any clues. So it turns out that you're the one who has been targeting the Joyous Palace all these years. "
"You Buddhist remnants of China have been secretly developing in my country. Do you really think my people don't know about it?" Ki Kitagawa retorted. "General Fukuda has long made arrangements to deal with your Joyous Palace. Just wait! Your Joyous Palace will be uprooted soon and none of you will survive when the time comes. "
General Fukuda?
Killing intent surged in Yin Buddha's eyes and he shouted, "That old geezer has been a hindrance all these years. It's just that Palace Master doesn't want to provoke trouble, so he hasn't done anything to him. I can see that you're actually someone from Japan, General Fukuda's lackey! "
"I'm loyal to Japan!"
Ki Kitagawa evaded Yin Buddha's counterattack and suddenly burst into laughter when he saw figures rushing over lightning-fast from the distant horizon.
Several kilometers away in the sky, Tan Xiu and Tang An were hiding in the clouds, watching the fight in the distance. Tan Xiu was a bit afraid of Yin Buddha before, but now he realized that he had really underestimated the Japanese cultivators. China had people with powerful cultivations, and Japan even had the strongest of the top experts.
"There are a lot of people, Grand Master."
Tang An's expression suddenly shifted and she quickly pulled Tan Xiu's sleeve.
Tang Xiu followed Tang An's line of sight and looked in another direction. What made him incredulous was that several kilometers away from the place where Ki Kitagawa and Yin Buddha's group were fighting, countless agile experts were rushing there like a tide. The number of them was at least several thousand.
