Chapter Seventy-Ninth: Forgetting the Swamp

  "What's going on, Garo sister? The city seems to have become chaotic all of a sudden." Shana supported Garo while Shura remained vigilant and attentive to their surroundings.

  Speeding up the treatment of his own hand injury, Gallo spoke up "Don't worry about that anymore, we have to leave right now. You guys hurry and leave first, we'll exit from the south side. I'll go back and bring the necessary things, you guys go ahead." Shula was taken aback "The south side? Isn't that supposed to be the Forgotten Swamp? Gallo sister, what are you going there for?"

  Ka Luo took a deep breath, his hand injury had recovered and his energy had been replenished. "Don't say any more, let's leave here first and I'll tell you everything later, hurry up."

  Shana looked at Shura and they nodded in unison. "So, Galo sister, you'd better hurry up."

  Watching the two leave, Gallo waved her hand, no problem anymore, just about to take a step forward when Gallo suddenly stopped, didn't know when, a person appeared in front of her, and it was one of the people she disliked the most, Prince Kahn.

  "It should be you, Miss Gallo." The questioning tone carried a definite air, as if the other party had already confirmed her identity.

  Jia Luo raised her hand and drew a line across her face, erasing all the disguises and revealing her original beauty.

  Prince Kahn's eyes revealed a hint of intoxication "Indeed it is you, unbelievable, your beauty still moves people's hearts."

  "What brings you to find me?" Gallo's icy words brought Prince Kahn back to his senses, and as he looked at Gallo's still expressionless face, he suddenly smiled "I think you should also be clear why I'm looking for you. To be honest, I prefer the way you were when we first met."

  "Hey, haha... Prince Kahn burst into laughter. "Prince Kahn, I've heard you loud and clear, and I think I'm also very clear about your intention. However, as I recall, didn't I already give you a very clear answer before?"

  A glimmer of pain flashed in Kahn's eyes "Did it have to be so decisive?"

  "That's right, don't say I won't accept it. Moreover, the things I want to do are very long, so long that even I feel terrified myself. So, I won't let anything that might hinder me exist. If you obstruct me again." Gallo raised his hand, and a bright red flame burst forth. "I don't mind finishing our unfinished battle from when we first met here."

  Prince Kahn slowly drew his sword "If I win, will you give me a chance or...a hope."

  With a wave of his hand, flames splashed everywhere. "I won't lose to you again, nor can I make any promises to you, because all my promises have been given to her." Taking a step forward, he raised his hand and a ring of fire knives flew out, transforming into countless sparks in mid-air as they shot towards Kahn.

  Facing the attack of the one he loved most, Kahn could only produce a bitter smile. The girl's will was so resolute, like a piece of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years - cold, sharp, and solid, impossible to break through or penetrate, yet so enchanting.

  A dark aura emanated, and Kahn knew that this battle was unavoidable. With one sword sweep, he cut down all the flames, but at the same time, he felt that Garrow's power was incredibly strong!

  Immediately, countless attacks appeared again, Gala's General Leg! Thousands of troops and horses at my command!

  The distance was shortened, and Kahn's sword became ineffective. He quickly shifted his strength to his left hand and came hard to meet Gallo's footwork. All he could hear were countless consecutive sounds, and Kahn barely managed to block the fatal blows, but was kicked dozens of times by Gallo in a row, with fresh blood flowing out of his mouth.

  Karlo's hand turned over, a Lethal Sun Blade followed up, hitting Prince Kahn squarely in the chest, adding insult to injury, and immediately sent him flying.

  "With his sword still pressed to the ground, Prince Kahn struggled to half-kneel on the ground. Gallo's light landing 'I've already shown mercy, such injuries will only take you a day or two to recover. In any case, there is no enmity between us, I hope you won't come looking for me again in the future.'"

  "Cough...cough." Kaine spat out a mouthful of blood. "Don't joke around, you want me to give up that easily? If it were you, would you?"

  "That's right, it's impossible." Gallo gazed coldly at the person in front of him. "However, I'm not a merciful person, and when necessary, I won't mind killing one more person."

  Prince Kahn struggled to his feet. "Dying at your hands wouldn't be bad either, and like you, I'm not one to give up easily."

  Jia Luo clearly saw the persistence in Ka Er's eyes, and like his own past, now, they were all eyes that would not give up.

  No need to say more, for this kind of person, nothing can be done. However, considering Bi Lan and the others, it would also be difficult to kill him personally. Garo raised his hand, three fingers shot out, and even the already injured Prince Kahn couldn't dodge, being hit and feeling numb all over, he fell to the ground with a thud.

  "In about thirty minutes, nothing will be left, and your subordinates seem to have arrived as well. So, I'll take my leave, Prince Kahn. I think we won't meet again in the future." Gallo turned around and disappeared from Kahn's sight.

  "Despicable..." A low voice came from Prince Kahn's mouth, whether he was despicable for Gallo's ruthlessness or his own powerlessness...

  Quickly returned to his own room, putting everything away, suddenly, Gallo touched the Thunderbolt Eye "What a pity, now there is no time to study it carefully, I have a premonition, if I can crack the secret of this thing, I will definitely gain a lot."

  Glancing around, he confirmed that nothing was left behind, and Gallo quickly exited the city. The destruction brought by the demon was enormous, and the city inside was still in a semi-paralyzed state. Gallo easily left You City.

  "Alas, I'm really a person who can't stay idle, am I going to start wandering again?" Arriving at the outskirts of the city, they quickly found Chiara and Sana, and left without saying anything.

  After walking for several hours, leaving Yu City far behind, Galo recounted the events that had occurred earlier in detail, leaving Shula and Sana stunned. The Light System Magic Core, the appearance of the Demon, the start of chaos, the battle at the auction house... it was all just too astonishing.

  "So, Garo sister, in that case, there's no need to escape, right?" Shana asked hesitantly. Garo shook her head "If I'm still in Yu City now, I'll probably become the next target of the demons, after all, the demon core is with me now, and I don't plan on returning it to them." Garo took out the demon core, its thick holy power making Shana feel a bit uncomfortable. "Such good material, given to me, how can I return it? Haha." Garo had been eyeing this demon core from the start, if she were to create an Ice Moon body, this would be absolutely perfect.

  "But, Miss Gallo, why go to the Forgotten Swamp?" Shula's face wasn't looking good. "The Forgotten Swamp is one of the world's four forbidden places."

  "I know, but it's the only place where we can find a quiet spot. Your Nine Deaths Tragic Sword is only at the fifth move before mastery, and Shana's Heavenly Buddha Palm is only at the fourth style. With our current strength, we are far from sufficient. We need to keep progressing in order to survive in this world, right?" The battle with the demon left Gao feeling deeply that he still had many shortcomings. In a world where strength was paramount, he could only survive by becoming stronger. Only then would saving Bingyue not be an empty promise.

  "Take a break, we might have a few more companions joining us in a bit." Galo directly contacted Bai Ke with his spiritual power, telling him and Luo to come over and gather together.

  Looking at Shana and Shura who had already fallen asleep, Galo sank into his own thoughts. "There are still nine pieces of Sacred Gear left, but unfortunately none of them have a connection with Shana. This means that Shana is not recognized by the Sacred Gear. But if this continues for a long time, won't the Sacred Gear be just like trash?"

  "Now it seems that the Sacred Scales are my greatest guarantee. If all twelve Sacred Scales appear and their users use them, I believe even a 9th-level expert wouldn't have to worry. But, is it really that simple to make them appear? It's giving me a headache just thinking about it."

  The sky had already darkened, and Gallo was about to rest when suddenly a strange palpitation came, Gallo abruptly opened his eyes "Who's there!"

  "Ahh..." A very soft sigh came over, and Gallo was startled in his heart. How could the other person be so close without being discovered? Who exactly is this person?!

  As she looked, Jia Luo saw a small figure appear before her eyes, only two or three steps away from the three of them. In the faint moonlight, her eyes could still see clearly that the other person was just a girl, and judging by her appearance, she was probably less than twenty years old.

  The other party seemed to be stunned by Galo as well, and was discovered not moving. Shula and Sana woke up too, saw a person in front of them, and immediately took action. Shula didn't even draw his sword, raised two fingers, and a fierce sword energy flew out. Sana also lifted her hand and grabbed at the girl.

  An astonishing scene unfolded, under the attacks of Shana and Xue La, even a 7th-level strongman of the Hutt would be moved, but this girl was able to turn her body, and the sword energy was immediately dispelled. Although Shana's claw caught the opponent, the girl's hand twisted and turned, making Shana feel as if she had grasped a slippery fish that slipped away instantly.

  Then, the girl pointed her finger at Shura, and Shura raised his hand to block it. Suddenly, a numb feeling spread through him. "Not good, it's poisonous!"

  Taking advantage of the opportunity, the girl suddenly passed by Shura's side and immediately disappeared into the endless darkness.
