Chapter 35 - Why them?!
"HAHAHAHAHA!" A maniacal laughter echoed.
"Did you really think that a golden core cultivator could break through my barrier?" The voice snorted with arrogance.
An old man in golden robe arrived above the barrier encompassing the statues.
He looked towards the unconscious Leo and frowned.
"Hm? You should have been blown to smithereens with the second barrier, yet you're alive. That's intriguing." He had the same playful words but didn't let down his guard.
The old man had not noticed the presence of the empresses, which made him have turmoils of questions.
'Suddenly, the young master's life jade shattered. His ship was also destroyed. The king is already furious and if I don't bring any results I don't know what fate I'll go through. Now, how did a golden core 1st stage arrive here alone. Moreover, why is he trying so hard to break open the barrier.'
The old man glanced at the statues and found no abnormalities in them.
'These two don't have any relatives, and their only child was killed by the master himself. Is there something I didn't pay attention to? Let's look through his soul first and then -'
Before the old man could complete his thoughts, he saw Leo's breathing becoming stable.
The frown on his face grew more serious when he saw Leo stand up, totally fine.
The old man immediately rushed to grab his head -
SWOOSH! SLASH!
His hand was completely severed away, and he felt a strange burning sensation in his soul.
The old man immediately backed away and looked at the empresses, blocking his view towards Leo.
He stopped the bleeding from one of his hand and looked at the ten figures with caution.
He felt a cold sensation running through his spine. It was an instinct from his body telling him to run away.
The old man immediately summoned a black jade token with a red sword engraving on it.
He broke it immediately and was sucked in by a space warp and, leaving behind the small space in disarray.
Leo had finally gained his consciousness and still a little dizzy. His gaze landed on the area where space elements were in disarray.
"Son-in-law, we don't have enough time, so we will be speeding up the things." The dragon empress looked at him with seriousness.
"I know that you want to free your parents, but what would it make us if we don't help?" The Phoenix empress said with a smile.
"They are also a part of our family, so how can we live them in this desolate environment?" The empress of hell spoke while placing her hands on the barrier.
Hearing the empresses' words, Leo nodded at them with his teary eyes.
The empresses surrounded the barriers immediately after conveying their thoughts and began to instill their spiritual orderly manner.
BOOM!
The second barrier broke immediately, but it was almost instantly replaced by another barrier.
"It's probably running on some powerful source." The empress of sorcery spoke with confidence.
"We should split and look for it." She continued.
At the back, Leo stared the statues silently while his spiritual energy was recovering.
Just before the empresses could split in their respective directions-
BOOM!
Space exploded, and a figure appeared clad in a black robe that had a red sword engraved on its chest.
It was a male human whose eyes were almost red with anger. Behind him stood the same person whose hand was severed not long ago.
"Who killed my son?!" The man in black robe roared with anger.
The moment he spoke, space began to break in a horizontal lane and numerous people clad in white and golden robe began to appear one by one.
Their robes had similar red sword marks on the chest, and they were holding black swords brimming with their auras to release start a massacre at any time.
"Master, it was those bitches who killed our beloved young master!" Suddenly, the man with severed hand shouted while pointing his fingers towards the empresses.
The leading man had already noticed the empresses, and his fiery red eyes suddenly became calm and… fearful.
It was at this moment that he finally understood the whole situation.
'My stupid son… why did you have to provoke them!' He cursed his dead son.
On the other hand, the empresses were looking at the huge army appearing from the spatial crack.
Surprisingly, they were just looking at the 'scenery' with a rather bored expression.
"… Are they trying to scare us?" The empress of sorcery mocked at the other party.
Her words were not limited to herself, but rather the entire planet could hear it.
Veins popped up on the head of the black robed man, but he endured as he couldn't afford to offend… no, he would not even dare to cross roads with the other party even in his wildest dreams.
"You cannot escape from here ! My master here will kill you all with a single slash of his sword." The man beside the robed figure exclaimed with the top of his lungs.
"Oh really? I'm so scared~" The empress of Blacksmithery mocked with a ferocious yet timid glance.
The other empresses smiled without caring about the army in front of them.
