4177 Covering the Aura

“Little Qing, Little Gu, I…I’ve tried my best.” Water Sorcerer Ruler let out a long sigh after returning.

He did not need to think to know how disappointed and dejected Ran Gu and Qingxi, who had always been close to his eldest disciple, would be.

“Master, you’ve already done very well.”

Suddenly, he heard Ran Gu’s gentle voice.

Water Sorcerer Ruler raised his head and saw Ran Gu smiling at him with a warm smile.

“That’s right, master. You’re amazing today. You know, that’s the Ninth Kalpa King, the most powerful Ruler recognized in the universe. You were on par with him just now. If it weren’t for the slight difference in the end, you would have defeated him. You’re already very strong!”

Qingxi raised her head and laughed with a proud look.

Water Sorcerer Ruler could not help but feel a little touched upon seeing this, and his heavy mood brightened up a little.

“Don’t talk nonsense. The Ninth Kalpa King only used a casual palm strike, but I went all out. How can we be compared?” Water Sorcerer Ruler glared at Qingxi as she chided with a smile.

“Aiya, it’s almost the same.” Qingxi said with a smile.

Jian Wushuang felt warm in his heart as he watched this scene.

In the hundreds of thousands of years he had cultivated, he was used to seeing killing and plundering, used to seeing the coldness of human relationships, used to seeing the indifference of the world, but he had rarely seen people as pure and simple as the master and disciple before him.

A moment later, Water Sorcerer Ruler turned to look at Jian Wushuang and said apologetically, “Little friend Blood Sword, we’re planning to leave the Tarot Ruins, so we can’t protect you.”

Jian Wushuang nodded and replied, “Water Sorcerer Ruler, where are you planning to go next?”

“Let’s go back to our own star area. Although it’s a bit remote, it’s safe there. There aren’t many experts there, so it might be more suitable for us.” Water Sorcerer Ruler growled.

Jian Wushuang thought for a while and then nodded. For them, perhaps returning to the star area that belonged to them was the best choice.

Therefore, he did not try to stop them.

Even though Jian Wushuang believed that he would have no problem protecting the three of them with his current strength, it might not be a good thing for them to force them to stay.

He respected the choice of these three people.

“Little friend Blood Sword, we’ll meet again if there’s a chance.”

“Goodbye, Blood Sword. We are in the Mountain Sun astral of the void wind Starfield. If you have time, you can come and find us.”

“Blood Sword, you’re not strong either. It’s best if you leave this place as well. I don’t want to see you die here like my eldest senior. Oh, I don’t mean to say that you’re going to die. In short, take good care of yourself.”

Water Sorcerer Ruler, Ran Gu, and Qingxi bade farewell to Jian Wushuang.

“I will.”

Jian Wushuang nodded with a smile.

After that, the three of them left the place step by step and walked into the distance.

As for Jian Wushuang, he pulled down his hood and lowered his head as he walked toward the Ninth Kalpa King step by step. He was wearing a wide black robe and had pulled down his hood, so his face was completely hidden. Only his chin could be vaguely seen.

“What is this little fourth-stage great Ruler doing?”

“Eh? Could it be that this fourth stage Ruler also wants to test his moves against the Ninth Kalpa King?”

“A fourth-stage chief Ruler? What a joke.”

In the midst of the discussion, Jian Wushuang’s expression was calm and he stood in front of Ninth Kalpa King.

“You want to try too?” the Ninth Kalpa King looked down at Jian Wushuang, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Divine Marquis Qingfeng also frowned.

In the Tarot Ruins, there were many Ultimate Rulers, and the number of fifth-stage Rulers was much less. As for fourth-stage Rulers, they were even rarer.

Now, a fourth stage Ruler had appeared in front of him with a divine sword on his back. He was clearly a sword cultivator.

This made Ninth Kalpa King instantly think of Jian Wushuang.

But very quickly, the Ninth Kalpa King denied this judgment. The reason was that the aura emitted by the black sect person in front of him was very different from Jian Wushuang’s.

In the Ninth Kalpa King’s impression, Jian Wushuang’s aura was calm and restrained, like a peerless divine sword hidden in a scabbard.

However, the black-robed man in front of him gave people the feeling that he was extremely dark, extremely cold, and emotionless.

The difference in aura was so great that neither Ninth Kalpa King nor Divine Marquis Qingfeng recognized Jian Wushuang.

The reason for this was that after Jian Wushuang controlled the Tarot Divine Sword, his soul aura could be completely covered by the Tarot Divine Sword. The extremely cold and dark aura that he was emitting now was the aura that the Tarot Divine Sword had.

Under such circumstances, unless the Ninth Kalpa King saw Jian Wushuang’s appearance, or someone like Leng Rushuang, who could recognize Jian Wushuang from his figure or simple actions, the Ninth Kalpa King and Divine Marquis Qingfeng would naturally not be able to recognize him.

They had assumed that this black-robed man was also a fourth stage Ruler who had ventured into the Tarot Ruins, and one who had overestimated his own abilities.

Even a weaker peak Ultimate Ruler could not take a palm from the Ninth Kalpa King. Many people thought that a fourth-stage Ruler was overestimating his own ability.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang was covered in a black robe. After hearing Ninth Kalpa King’s words, he did not answer. Instead, he directly reached out and pulled out the divine sword behind him, using his own actions as a reply.

Jian Wushuang carried two divine swords on his back. The divine swords that he had pulled out were red and had a faint sense of sharpness that could cut through the sky. It was the Wu Qi divine sword that had changed greatly after being modified by the sword spirit of Tarot.

As for the other sword, it was wrapped by ancient vines, and its aura was ordinary.

“Make your move.” A hoarse voice came from under the black robe.

“Hiding your head and showing your tail, pretending to be mysterious, not knowing the immensity of the heavens and earth.” The Ninth Kalpa King shook his head expressionlessly. Then, he raised his right hand and pressed down on Jian Wushuang.

Boom!

In an instant, the giant palm that had defeated countless enemies gathered in the void, covered the sky, and pressed down on Jian Wushuang with a terrifying power.

As for Jian Wushuang, he looked as if he had been scared silly. He kept his head down and did not have any intention to resist.

Instantly, the countless spectating Ultimate Rulers, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but gloat.

“This little guy has probably never seen such a terrifying palm before, right?”

“Hahaha, look, he’s scared silly.”

“The juniors nowadays are really overestimating themselves.”

The omega Rulers all chuckled and shook their heads.

To them, Jian Wushuang’s voluntary act was like a funny interlude in the solemn atmosphere.

“Watch carefully. This little guy will definitely be frightened by the Ninth Kalpa King’s palm and leave a psychological shadow.”
