Chapter 244 - Laid-back Jiu Shen

The old man brandished his sword and shouted in a solemn voice. "Sky Rendering Sword Phantom! Materialize!"

Swoos.h.!.+

The evil-looking decayed corpse lifted its rusted scythe to block the incoming attack.

Bang!

The evil creature was flung away, but it managed to stabilize itself after tumbling in midair. However, it no longer had its previous confidence after it received the old man's attack.

"A puny early stage Nascent G.o.d Realm actually managed to throw me away?! It looks I have lost more than half of my power after slumbering for thousands of years! Dammit!" It cursed while staring at the old man with hate.

The old man felt a bit more confident after that one exchange. 'This guy does not look that strong, but I still have to be careful. An expert at that era should have a few more things up their sleeves.' He muttered in his heart as he conjured another spell.

"Sky Diamond Protective Halo! Materialize!"

"Hmph!" The evil creature snorted as it pounced towards the old man while lowering its rusted scythe in a different angle, hoping to catch the old man by surprise.

Bang!

Crack!

Hm?!

The evil creature was a bit shocked when it discovered that its attack was not even able to destroy the old man's s.h.i.+eld. The two dark embers in its eye sockets then flashed with a chilly air as it heavily pounded the cracked s.h.i.+eld of the old man.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crack!

BANG!

The old man's Sky Diamond Protective Halo disintegrated, but it still managed to withstand a few strikes, giving the old man an opportunity to conserve his true essence. He then moved towards the evil creature like a slithering snake as he pointed his sword forward.

Clang!

Sword and scythe met in midair, causing sparks to fly in every direction.

The fighting between the two continued for more than an hour, causing great destruction everywhere around them.

The might two Nascent G.o.d Realms in battle must not be taken lightly. They could decimate an entire mountain just with their fists alone!

Half of the imperial palace was destroyed and its 9th-rank protective array was not even able to block the power of the two!

Bang!

Clang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

***

Just right outside the entrance of 'The Immortal's Wine', a man with long silver hair can be seen seated calmly on his chair. He was holding a small little girl in his left arm and a bottle of wine in his right.

Standing behind him was a tall young lady with purple hair. She had a dainty figure and seductive body that could make any man look at her with hungry gazes. She was looking at the man with admiration while deep in her thoughts.

Jiu Shen took a light sip of wine from his wine bottle and glanced in a certain direction. "Things are getting quite lively for Can Ye in the imperial palace. Meili, tell Hestia to prepare a few medicines. That brat Can Ye might come back with a few injuries." He muttered in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Yes, master." Long Meili bowed her head respectfully before she went inside the store in a graceful manner.

"Stinky human, where are my promised bottles of milk? Do you think I've forgotten about it? Meow! Give it to me!" Ice flailed in Jiu Shen's embrace like a child throwing a tantrum.

Jiu Shen smacked the back of her head, but he still took out a huge bottle of milk from his s.p.a.ce earring. "This bottle is equivalent to ten normal bottles of milk. This is already more than what I promised you." He said as he handed the big bottle of milk to the pouting little girl.

"Hmph! At least you are sensible. Meow." Ice s.n.a.t.c.hed the big bottle from Jiu Shen's hands and sucked the opening like a starved camel.

"Ah~ This one is delicious! Did you add something different here? Meow." Ice asked with a s.h.i.+ning gaze as she stared at the bottle of milk in her hands.

"Dunno." Jiu Shen replied lazily.

Gulp. Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.

Gulping sounds echoed about as the little girl continued to drink her milk. She had her eyes shut tight as she savored the taste of the milk.

On the other hand, Jiu Shen's attention was fixated on the battle happening in the imperial palace.

"An undead at the Nascent G.o.d Realm, but its power seemed to be weakened... That old brat should be able to defeat it..." He muttered.

Everyone could hear the loud booming sounds coming from the imperial palace, but no one dared to go there when they sensed the evil energy from that direction. Even from a distance, they knew that a great battle was happening in the imperial palace. As to who is fighting, they were curious, but none of them were brave enough to go and spectate the fight.

"Today is the execution of Xue Tong, right? Does it have something to do with all the commotion?"

"I think two Nascent G.o.d Realm experts are fighting in the imperial palace at this moment. One of them must be the former emperor. As for his opponent, I have no idea..."

"How about we check it out? Let's just stay from a safe distance. Nothing should happen to us if we are careful enough."

"Are you nuts?! Go ahead and go there, but no one among us will be coming with you! Idiot!"

Jiu Shen leisurely sipped his wine, looking relaxed and carefree. He looked like someone who was out on the beach to enjoy the sea breeze.

He gently caressed the head of the little girl as he watched the battle in the imperial palace through his spiritual perception.

"That old brat's sword techniques look lousy and terrible. He could not even bring out his full potential. What a waste of Sword of Comprehension..." Jiu Shen muttered in a soft voice filled with disdain.

"Stinky human, can I have more of this? Please! Meow." Ice's chubby face suddenly came into his view, blocking him from watching the fight.

Jiu Shen squeezed her cheeks and said. "No."
