C820 Sky-clump Sword
"You … Senior Brother, you are crazy! "
The Sky Emperor could feel the terrifying aura radiating from the old man and his entire face changed. A look of fear flashed in his eyes.
If one were to ask the Sky Emperor about the people he feared the most in the Sun Country, it would be his senior brother.
One must know that his senior brother was once a candidate to become the saint child like him, and also the person with the highest hopes of inheriting the title of the Sky Emperor. If he didn't make a fatal mistake, then the person above the Sky Emperor would definitely not be him, but his senior brother.
Even though his senior brother had wasted many years of his cultivation after that incident, he still could not be underestimated. This was because his senior brother had grown up in the shadow of the entire young era of the Sky Emperor!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the aura of the old man rose to the limits. The terrifying aura swept out, and the Sky Emperor did not dare to underestimate him, he also released his aura and clashed against it. A loud explosion rang out, causing the entire roof of the palace to overturn and countless tiles to shatter into pieces.
"Little girl, let's go."
The old man said indifferently as he turned around and looked at Holy Maiden with a benevolent gaze.
"Teacher, you..."
Holy Maiden was not good at words. Under such circumstances, she did not know what she was going to say.
If she's gone, what about the teacher?
Just with his teacher's appearance here today, the Sky Emperor would be able to punish him for the crime of protecting Holy Maiden. If this was announced to the world, everyone in the entire Sun Country would despise him and there would be no place for him in the entire Royal House or even the entire Sun Country.
Of course, with teacher's strength, no one would be able to stop him if he wanted to leave. But since his childhood, teacher had always lived here, so how could he just leave like that?
"Don't worry about me."
The old man smiled slightly and said: "Little girl, I am old, but you are different. You are still young, and there is nothing that can restrain your hands and feet. You should have your own choice."
"Teacher, you must be very disappointed in me, right?"
Holy Maiden lowered her head, her calm voice carrying a trace of loneliness.
The old man stared at him, shook his head and said, "Go and pursue what you want. Teacher's actions today were not in vain."
Holy Maiden's delicate figure trembled when she finished speaking, and her beautiful eyes emitted a trace of a struggle.
After which, Holy Maiden slowly took off her veil, as a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared. It was filled with complicated emotions as she slowly bowed to the old man, "Disciple is unfilial."
As the sound of her voice faded, Holy Maiden took a step forward and dashed out of the palace.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The Sky Emperor's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out a hand. Following which, a wave of Qi surged towards Holy Maiden in an attempt to stop her.
The old man sighed and waved his hand. The wave of air was flattened and disappeared without a trace.
"Junior Brother, with me here, you won't be able to keep the little girl."
The old man turned around, but he quickly became incomparably calm.
"Senior Brother, are you really going to go against me for that rebellious girl?!"
The Sky Emperor roared as his aura rose to the limit. His eyes flickered with fury as if he was about to spew it out.
"You've already missed it once when you were young. Don't you know how to repent?"
The old man shook his head, "When I was young, I was indeed wrong. The fault is that I didn't have the courage to fight back when facing obstacles. I was unable to fight against fate."
"Thus, I do not wish for my disciple to repeat the same mistake."
The old man had his hands behind his back, and when he said those words, there was a trace of loneliness in his voice.
If he had been braver and more decisive when he was young, his current situation might have been completely different.
"You are adding to your mistakes. How are you going to face our ancestors in the future?!" The Sky Emperor's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"I have a clear conscience, how can I lose face?"
"Good!" "Very good."
The Sky Emperor was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He smiled and said, "You are indeed worthy of being me. Even though so many years have passed, your stubborn temper still hasn't changed."
"Son, go and bring the rebellious girl back!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes!" The Saint Child's eyes flashed with a terrifying light as he bowed his head in acknowledgement. Afterward, he turned into a blur and chased after Holy Maiden.
The old man did not stop him because he knew that his power could only stop the Sky Emperor. As for Holy Maiden's fate after she left, that would depend on the little girl's luck!
After the Holy Son left, only the Sky Emperor and the old man remained in the palace.
The two of them looked at each other. At this moment, they were no longer as tense as before. The atmosphere became tranquil. The two of them just stared at each other without doing anything for a long time.
"Senior Brother, we haven't fought in fifty years, right?"
In the end, the Sky Emperor was the one who spoke first, breaking the tranquility in the air.
"Yes, fifty years."
The old man laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Fifty years is a long time, enough to change a lot. The Royal Residence has changed, and so has the people."
With that, the old man stared at the emperor with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Although this Heavenly Emperor seemed to be above tens of thousands of people, the truth was that he had already been sharpened to the point where he no longer had the spirit of his youth.
"Hmph, young and arrogant, in the end, there has to be a change. How can you be born with your own will? Senior Brother, you're older than me, do you still not understand this logic? "
The old man shook his head and said: "I know that I am too weak to contend against fate, but there are some things that I must do even though I cannot."
"Very good. Since that's the case, then there's nothing else to say."
As the sound of his voice faded, the Heavenly Emperor rushed out towards the old man. He clenched his right fist as he descended from the skies, emitting a powerful aura.
One of the old man's foot stomped on the ground. With a "boom", a golden barrier appeared around his body. When the fist descended, it only shook the golden barrier, but it did not cause the slightest bit of damage.
"As expected of senior brother, he really isn't easy to deal with."
"Bu Du Soul Controlling Technique!"
The Sky Emperor coldly said as he stretched out a hand. A deep blue light began to glow as it crazily condensed, finally forming a long blade. The blade contained the deep red and the blue lights, as if there were tens of thousands of ghosts lingering around it.
"Kill!"
The Sky Emperor roared, his blade descended and instantly turned into a blade aura sweeping out, his aura rushing forward, instantly breaking through the golden barrier, directly sweeping towards the old man's body, causing him to retreat a few steps.
The old man let out a soft sigh as he placed his right hand before his eyes. Following which, his aura converged together, causing clouds and mist to roil in the sky.2
In the blink of an eye, a short knife appeared in the old man's hand, sparkling under the enveloping brilliance.
