Chapter 521: Chapter 227: Get Out? You’re Not Getting Out
"Golden Light Wanderer... so that’s your name."
From a distance, Wen Suruo heard him and murmured to herself, committing the name to memory.
Huh?
Across from him, Dai Tianrui shuddered. ’Why does that name sound so familiar?’
He quickly drew a Flying Sword and thrust it forward with all his might.
"SQUELCH!"
The sharp blade instantly pierced Zhang Gongxian’s heart before slicing him in two.
"Golden Light Taoist, it’s a misunderstanding! This is all a huge misunderstanding!"
Dai Tianrui pointed at the wide-eyed corpse of Zhang Gongxian. "I actually have no problem with you at all! He was the one pulling the strings, telling me to give you a hard time on purpose."
"You saw it yourself. All those men were taking orders from him."
"I was the one being coerced! Really, you have to believe me."
Now that Zhang Gongxian was dead, he couldn’t very well speak up to refute the claims.
So Dai Tianrui immediately started spouting lies, trying to turn the truth completely on its head.
"BAM!"
Xiao Chen couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense and struck out decisively with a palm.
"PTUI!"
Dai Tianrui threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, he wasn’t killed instantly; he was left clinging to his last breath.
"Hsss... is this ever going to end?!"
Xiao Chen sucked in another sharp breath. ’What the hell is this now?’
’The old saying goes that things shouldn’t happen more than twice. What on earth is this?’
The next moment, a dense life force emerged from within Dai Tianrui’s body, instantly repairing all his injuries.
At the same time, an intense pressure erupted from his body, making every Cultivator present feel as if a great mountain was crushing them.
"Alas... I wonder which fellow Taoist my unworthy descendant has offended."
A voice, ancient yet majestic, rang out.
Following this, a phantasmal figure stepped out of Dai Tianrui’s body, bearing a strong resemblance to him.
He cupped his hands toward the front and said, "It was not easy for this old man to have such a great-grandson. I ask that you, fellow Taoist, spare him this once for my sake."
"If you should visit the Sea of Darkness in the future, I, Dai, will personally roll out the red carpet for you."
This phantom clearly had no consciousness of its own. Its eyes were vacant, and its tone was somewhat wooden.
After mechanically delivering its lines, it dissipated on the spot, transforming into a translucent sphere about ten feet in diameter that enveloped Dai Tianrui completely.
Evidently, this was a life-saving measure secretly planted by the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Dai Family for his great-grandson.
It would only trigger in a truly life-threatening situation.
Perhaps, knowing his own worthless descendant all too well, he hadn’t even told Dai Tianrui about it, just to ensure the measure would work as intended.
It was also clear that when the ancestor had cast this Magic, he had never even considered that a Golden Core Cultivator could pose a threat to his great-grandson.
After all, he kept addressing the attacker as "fellow Taoist."
He clearly believed that only a Nascent Soul expert could ever threaten his great-grandson’s life.
"Great-Grandpa?"
Dai Tianrui was clearly surprised, a feeling that quickly turned to ecstasy. "Hahaha! Great-Grandpa actually left a trump card for me!"
"I knew it! I’m Great-Grandpa’s favorite grandson!"
His expression immediately turned arrogant again. "Golden Light Wanderer, was it? Ever seen Magic like this before?"
"Hahaha, this young master can tell you—this Magic is called the Void Cloud Light Barrier. What do you think? Bet you’ve never even heard of it, huh?"
"It can last for ten whole days, more than enough time for my family to arrive."
"This is the gap between us! A gap we were born with!"
"Hahaha! A piece of trash like you wants to kill this young master? You’re daydreaming!"
With that, he planted his hands on his hips and burst out laughing, all his previous worries clearly gone.
’That’s it?’
Looking at the barrier, Xiao Chen was instantly reminded of his newly acquired Rocket-Powered Iron Fist.
’Hilarious. You don’t really think some flimsy barrier is going to save you, do you?’
The more arrogant Dai Tianrui became, the more ridiculous he looked to Xiao Chen.
