Chapter Forty-Four: Unexpected Victory

  The monster's face no longer showed any expression, but it was clear that he was absolutely uncomfortable now. His strongest trump card had actually lost in such a short time and had lost so badly.

  Facing two strong men above level 7, no matter how powerful oneself is, there's no way to win. But now with two people in hand, escaping isn't that simple either. Gao De can be spared, but Pu Lei is his only grandson and the child of his most beloved daughter, he absolutely cannot abandon him and leave.

  "Stop resisting, your power is nothing more than this, I've already understood."

  The monster's whole body shook, looking at Gallo in surprise.

  "Firstly, the power you are using is dark elemental power. This kind of power I have seen before, although it's very strong, it also has a high corrosive nature. However, its restraint is relatively simple, as long as you possess stronger power or fighting spirit than me, you won't be affected by this element at all."

  What Galo said was insight, obviously the same dark energy power that Prince Kahn used back then.

  "Your dark element is powerful, but it can only deal with opponents who are about the same level as you. I estimate that your actual strength is probably around level 6 or so, however this power is enough to weaken an opponent to a realm similar to yours."

  The monster's face remained unchanged, but the shock in his heart was enormous and irreparable. No mistake, Garo had indeed seen the weakness of one of his strongest powers.

  "The second power is the special ability you used on me." Galo nodded to his own head "It makes my mind hard to focus, for ordinary magicians, it's already a fatal attack, unfortunately I'm not the same, and the third one, the power to control corpses, this power is a bit different, but I'm more familiar with it, if I didn't estimate wrong, the source of the second and third powers are the same."

  Ka Luo's eyes stared tightly at his opponent "The power you're using is Soul Power!"

  As soon as the four words "Soul Power" came out, a huge expression appeared on the monster's face, shock, fear, doubt, and incredulity mixed together, making his face extremely terrifying.

  "How is this possible! Who are you, how can you possibly know the power of the soul!" The Death Spirit Mage lost his composure. "This kind of power is absolutely only something that we Death Spirit Mages can come into contact with, who exactly are you!"

  Although Gallo wore a smile on her face, her heart was also turbulent at this moment. "Soul power, indeed soul power! I also understand this kind of power, the anti-theocratic domain of soul alchemy, but I never thought that there would be someone in this world who could master it!"

  "As for this point, I am also very interested, Miss Gallo, who are you and where did you come from?" Suddenly, without warning, a voice came over.

  Everyone turned around and looked "Jin Mi Tian? Jin De!"

  The two figures of the Golden Body Sect appeared on the scene. "Today was truly a great show, I really didn't expect it, Miss Galo's strength is so astonishing, even the Necromancer can't compare to you."

  "What are these two people doing here? They were introduced by Azure and me last time, and their status and strength in the Golden Body Sect are not low at all. Why did they come here? What do they want to do? If they stand on each other's side, what will be the outcome today?"

  Jin Mi Tian looked at Jia Luo without responding, only giving a faint smile, then turned her head towards the monster.

  Pu Rei hastily cried out: "Brother Jin, please lend a hand and rescue us! If we succeed, I'll add another condition to the one my father promised!"

  Karlo and Hutt's faces changed as soon as they heard it. Could it be that there was already some kind of relationship between Pujit and Jinsenjiao?

  Jin Mi Tian smiled faintly and said, "Pu Lei, haven't you figured it out yet? The agreement between us has been invalidated."

  "What?!"

  "With hands behind his back, 'Although the conditions Pu Ti proposed are not bad, but it's a pity that he concealed something from us. You're actually with the Necromancer? Have you forgotten what our Golden Body doctrine says? A Golden Body cultivator will never have any involvement with a Necromancer.'"

  Pu Lei's face turned white on the spot, if Jin Mi Tian didn't agree to help, they wouldn't have been able to survive.

  The monster let out a loud roar, "You puny Golden Body Cult, dare to look down on me! Fine, today you'll all die here!" Its hands spread wide, and countless black mists instantly filled the entire arena.

  The black fog spread rapidly, soon enveloping the entire arena. Garo knew from his opponent's move that this black fog had not a single bit of killing intent, but was merely a special kind of energy. He immediately understood that the monster wanted to escape.

  A flash of golden light in both eyes, and Gallo faintly saw a shadowy figure. His right hand lifted, and several fingers of energy shot out! Only to hear the sound of miserable cries, and several points of red blood splashed out.

  "Lei'er!" The monster's cry of surprise rang out, and then the black fog slowly dispersed.

  Everyone put down their guard, looking over to see that in the middle of the arena, the monster was tightly embracing Prey's body. Unfortunately, Prey was already dead, with Garo's spear having deeply pierced his head. And another person, Gao De, had disappeared.

  "Lei'er, Lei'er! Wake up!" The monster let out a deep and mournful cry. Its eyes had lost the terrifying aura they once had, replaced by an endless sea of pain. Only at this moment did everyone feel that the person in front of them was no longer a monster, but a human being with emotions.

  The only one who didn't have this idea was Gallo, she stared intently at the person in front of her, as if wanting to see something.

  After a wail, the monster's voice gradually subsided. He grasped Prey's corpse firmly with both hands and said, "You will die together."

  Without any movement or incantation, the monster's body suddenly exploded violently! Countless flesh and blood flew everywhere, covering the entire square. Although the range was huge, it still couldn't cause harm to the few people present at the scene.

  But from this flesh and blood, Garro took a look, Hutter's Fire Cloud Palm was already very good, the iron bucket defense of the fire cloud was watertight, but he didn't know how many moves he had practiced, while the other two, Jin Mitian hadn't made a move, Jin De stood in front of Jin Mitian, his hands spread open, and a layer of golden light protected his body, already sending all the flesh and blood flying.

  Garo felt that this flesh and blood could almost be said to have no power, nor did it have the power of dark elements, but why was that monster so confident?

  "Be careful!" Suddenly, Hu Te let out a loud cry, and Gala also felt it. A massive surge of energy was rushing towards him. With a forceful push from his feet, his body moved without warning, already leaping away.

  Boom! The place where Gallo was just standing has been shattered, and what appeared was a bright red blood-colored skull!

  "What is this!" Both Jinder and Hoot were shocked, even Kimi Tenshin furrowed his brow. Galo's spiritual power probed, the skull's power contained a rich dark element, it seemed to have strengthened its existence by exploding its entire physical body and condensing all its energy. Moreover, he could no longer feel any spiritual fluctuations from that undead wizard, it seemed that the other party had completely died. Now this blood-colored skull was merely existing with a hint of resentment.

  The blood-red skull was filled with an indescribable sense of resentment, now only driven by the urge to kill. Galo was concentrating, waiting for the right moment to strike. Suddenly, Jin Mitian on one side spoke up, "Miss Galo, Mr. Hutt, our Golden Body Sect came to Artas City this time mainly to expand various businesses and develop our teachings here. We had initially reached a preliminary agreement with Pritda, but since he is cooperating with the Death Spirit Master, our relationship with him can only go so far. In that case, I wonder if we can cooperate with the Azure Little Castle Lord?"

  "Are you asking me to trust someone who just collaborated with our enemy?"

  "Well then, let me make a gesture to prove our sincerity." Jin Mi's body moved and she had already crossed over Jin De, arriving in front of the blood-colored skull.

  The Blood Skull had completely lost its mind, feeling someone approaching, it suddenly charged over. Jin Mie Tian took a deep breath, his face radiating a golden glow, his hands spread open and firmly grasped the Blood Skull's palm bones. With a burst of air from his mouth, he lifted the opponent up and slammed it heavily onto the ground! Yet his hands didn't suffer any damage at all.

  Hu Te stood beside Jia Luo, saying in a low voice, "This is one of the five great powers, the proud golden god's unparalleled martial art, Jinjie Dao. It is said that Jinjie Dao has twelve levels of heaven, but it is difficult to learn and use. Once successful, its power is unmatched, with a body as hard as iron and boundless strength. In those years, Jinmotian had already become one of the five great powers with his nine-level heaven power. I wonder what realm he can reach in these ten years. Looking at Jinmitian's current power, it's estimated that he has already reached the fifth level of heaven."

  "Jin Jie Dao......" Ji Luo muttered to himself, calculating that if Jin Mi Tian's power was at the fifth level, then it was clear that even the first layer of the Xi Mu Jing's Tian Po Ti Jie didn't have such might. He wondered just how strong Jin Mo Tian's true strength was.

  The Washing Marrow Scripture is divided into six major realms. The first realm, Breaking the Body Realm, allows the human body to break through its limits and unleash infinite power and speed, meaning "Breaking Open the Body".

  The second layer, the Lingdong realm, is also the current state of Jialuo. Those who can reach this realm are already top-notch masters in the martial arts world. "Lingdong" means the fluctuation of one's mind and spirit. A person with a lingdong heart is like a calm mirror, perceiving things before they happen, and can remain calm in all situations to grasp opportunities.

  The boundary of the fourth layer is profound, even Galo doesn't understand it. At first, he just memorized it silently, and didn't know if there was any hope to break through later. He dare not say anything else, but if he could reach the third layer, he would definitely not lose to Iron Face Blood God.

  At this moment, the Blood Skull and Jin Mitian started fighting again. Although every punch of Jin Mitian was powerful, it seemed to cause little damage to the skull. Similarly, the Blood Skull couldn't harm Jin Mitian either, but this prolonged battle was enough to infuriate him.

  "Drink!" Jin Mian Tian once again increased his power, reaching the sixth heaven of the Golden Boundary's might!

  Hutu said in a low voice, "It seems that I underestimated him. It is said that if one can reach the fifth heaven of the Golden Boundary before the age of thirty, they are considered to be extremely talented. This kid looks like he's already at the sixth heaven, and yet he's still under twenty."

  Ka roared, and as expected, the power of the sixth heaven was more than double that of just now, enough to counter the Bone Forging Realm of the Washing Marrow Scripture, and naturally, it was also enough to counter any seventh-level expert.

  Jin Mitian used the Sixth Heaven after that, and smashed open the blood-colored skull's body with his fists. The skeleton that was as hard as iron just a moment ago immediately appeared with cracks under this smash. Jin Mitian's eyes widened, and he smashed down with his fists in succession. In no time at all, the blood-colored skull had already turned into fragments.

  He stood up, gently exhaled a breath of air, and Jin Mian Tian's expression had returned to normal. He turned around to look at Jia Luo and Hu Te, "I don't know, can this be considered as showing a bit of cooperative intention?"

  "Alright, we've seen the intentions of Young Master Jin. However, this matter is not something I can intervene in. I will report back to the Lord of Azure City and let her negotiate with Young Master Jin. It's already late, so please have Young Master Jin and General Manager Jin rest first. If there's anything else, we'll discuss it again tomorrow."

  "Alright, I'll take my leave for now. Tomorrow, I will definitely host a wine banquet to welcome the Lord of Azure City."

  The two left the city master's mansion, and Jin De said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, are we leaving like this?"

  Jin Mi nodded "Today's results are already not bad, at least we have a glimmer of hope. I didn't expect Pu Ji to be so useless, but now it seems that cooperating with the Lord of Azure City might bring us even higher returns. Most importantly, I've figured out that Galo hasn't shown her full hand yet. Fighting against an opponent like this, unless my father intervenes personally, we won't get a good outcome."

  "What! Does it really require the Demon Heaven Sect Master to take action? But isn't she just a seventh-level expert?" Jin De was shocked.

  "That's right, in terms of strength, she is only a seventh level, but..." Jin Mian Tian suddenly stopped "Just now in the dark fog, I saw a glimmer of light."

  Light?

  "That's right, the golden light is like a divine light. I'm sure that this woman named Gallo is absolutely not simple. At least, I don't have the confidence to win over her now."

  On the other hand, Hoot asked, "Miss Gallo, are you really going to cooperate with the Golden Body Sect?"

  "I don't know, but I'm sure that now is absolutely not the time to fall out with Jinshenjiao, and besides, cooperation between Jinshenjiao is not so bad."

  "But..." Hutter wanted to say something, but Gallo interrupted him. "Alright, Mr. Hutter, I still have something to take care of, you go back and take care of Azure and the others first." As soon as he finished speaking, Gallo's figure had already disappeared.

  The last two things, one is Puji Te, and the other is the bandits outside the city.
