Chapter 1477: Vicious Chapter!
Lord Card snorted and warned the approaching figure like a bear who just got a salmon, "This is my prey. I can kill him however I want. Lord Yu, don't overstep your boundary."
The moment he finished speaking, a caucasian with golden hair and crystal blue eyes appeared in the air above him out of the blue. The caucasian man was wearing a full set of western knight armour with a complimenting knightly sword attached on his waist. To add more to the image, there also was a feather attached on the top of his helmet.
It was indeed Lord Yu.
He stretched his hand out and beckoned with his fingers. The silver needle that was piercing the card promptly hovered back into his hand. Upon closer inspection, the silver needle was not actually a needle at all, but was instead a miniature silver knight sword. It was so small that from afar, it looked like a silver needle.
At this moment, Li Shiyu was still under the illusion and Han Jijyun was still focusing on recuperating on the side. Thus, both of them knew nothing of what was happening near them. If they could be fully aware of what was happening right now, the two of them might be shocked and wonder why such a powerful stranger, who had nothing to do with them, decided to save them.
"With my creed by my heart, I cannot allow that to happen," Lord Yu said calmly.
Every imperial stage domain expert already had their own Dao. Lord Yu's Dao was the righteous and creed-abiding Dao. Once someone has chosen their Dao, they must abide by it and believe in it forever.
"So, you're going to become my enemy because of these nobodies?" Lord Card was so angry that a sinister smile slowly formed on his face. The fact that Lord Yu and he came from the same place and that they had always been helping one another for so many years, it further aggravated him that he was interfering with him now.
"I don't want to be your enemy. It's just that my Dao doesn't allow me to let you do this. After they wake up, you can kill them however you want," Lord Yu patiently explained.
If he let Lord Card kill two defenceless enemies now, a hole would be formed in his Dao. Therefore, Lord Yu had no choice but to interfere with Lord Card, even if it meant destroying their relationship. But stopping Lord Card didn't mean that he was saving Han Jijyun and Li Shiyu. He just hoped that Lord Card would kill them after they regained their consciousness.
Lord Card didn't reply to Lord Yu. He just threw away the cards in his hand and stared at Lord Yu coldly. As the staring contest continued on, the atmosphere around them turned extremely tense. A fight seemed on the verge of breaking out.
Lord Yu couldn't help but frown when he realized this wasn't going to end well. His right hand instinctively went towards his sword.
If Lord Card wanted to fight, as a knight, he wouldn't reject the duel no matter how absurd the reason for the duel was.
Red hall. Luo Chao and Han Xuya hugged their legs and sat quietly outside the door of the main hall.
"Luo Chao, are you nervous? Are you afraid?" Han Xuya tightly squeezed her thighs to her body in a desperate attempt to calm herself down.
Luo Chao shook her head as she blankly stared at the space in front of her. "I'm not nervous or frightened. Instead, I am happy. Finally, I don't have to hide behind our brothers' backs."
"Me too." Excitement and nervousness were written across Han Xuya's face. What she did just now was to calm down her excitement.
"Boss said that I'm stuck at the doors of the titled domain realm. I only need to go through a life-or-death battle to advance, so this might be my chance to finally be a titled domain realm master." Unfortunately for Luo Chao, even though she had arguably worked as hard as her elder brothers, the natural weakness of being a lady caused her advancement to the titled domain realm to be a hundred times harder, or maybe even more.
"I just want to be stronger so I can help Boss." Luo Chao's goal was very pure. Ever since she was young, Ling Lan was her god. She was God's follower, and that was the only reason why she was desperately trying so hard to grow stronger.
Of course, if they hadn't met Ling Lan in their life, they might not have been able to advance past the Qi-Jin stage in their entire life. The domain realm was even more impossible for them. In all these years, Ling Lan had spent so much effort to groom them and to allow them to break the limit of their own bodies. She allowed them to enter the domain realm, a realm that no woman had entered for close to a thousand years. What was more amazing was that Han Xuya's physical condition was better than Luo Chao's so she managed to touch the doors of the titled domain realm successfully.
"We must survive." Han Xuya slowly held Luo Chao's hand and gripped it tightly as she cheered for both of them.
"Yes." Luo Chao nodded firmly.
This time, both of them knew that once they met one of the 13 Lords, their chance of survival was grim. However, they weren't afraid. They knew that if they didn't stop the next lord, their comrades would have one more enemy to face which would put them in more danger. Their entire team might even be annihilated because of this.
"Huh? There are two young ladies here." A voice filled with astonishment was heard.
Han Xuya and Luo Chao jumped up abruptly. Before they could react, a person had appeared in front of them.
This person was wearing a black gown which only revealed his head. If you didn't look at him carefully, you wouldn't be able to see that it was a human. It just looked like a ball of black smoke.
The person swung his black gown and the gown fluttered in the air like a pair of black wings. He smiled brightly. A row of white teeth appeared on the smoky head, making it look quite frightening.
Han Xuya's first reaction was to pull Luo Chao behind her. This was a habit she had gained after so many years of being the elder sister figure. Even though she knew that Luo Chao was a domain realm master, old habits die hard.
"Pretty ladies, don't be nervous. Don't be nervous." The person smiled kindly.
Han Xuya said coldly, "Lord Ghost!" This person's appearance only fitted with the description of Lord Ghost.
"What a smart little girl. One look and you know who I am," Lord Ghost replied in satisfaction.
Luo Chao secretly squeezed Han Xuya's left hand which was hanging at the side of her body.
Han Xuya understood what Luo Chao meant. She leaped up abruptly and threw a side kick at Lord Ghost viciously.
Lord Ghost gave a mocking smile when he saw Han Xuya's leg coming towards him. He tilted his body slightly and prepared to dodge the kick that couldn't be any slower in his eyes.
"Bang!" A huge loud thud was heard.
Lord Ghost took a few steps back. He looked at Han Xuya in shock. He had evaded the kick so why was he hit?
Also, the kick that he thought was soft had so much strength behind it. It actually caused the blood in his body to churn. He almost got injured.
Han Xuya didn't back down after she succeeded in her first attack. She took a few steps forward and this time her fist came forward.
Not underestimating these two girls anymore, Lord Ghost's gaze turned vigilant. He quickly evaded Han Xuya's fist. This time, his speed of which he evaded the fist was much faster than before. The distance he moved away from the fist was greater too.
Bang!
Another loud thud was heard. Both of the attacks landed in the same spot. Even though he was very careful and seriously tried to evade the attacks, he failed.
Lord Ghost felt a sweet taste in his throat. The taste of blood quickly spread throughout his mouth. Upon this realization, he knew that he must have suffered a small injury.
He hadn't been injured in many years. Yet, now, in this insignificant hall, he got injured by the ladies he looked down on. This was definitely one of the most humiliating moments of his life.
Lord Ghost was infuriated. He howled into the air like a crazed tiger. Han Xuya and Luo Chao could feel their eardrums popping. They were completely disorientated by the frightening howl. While pushing through the piercing pain, the two quickly plugged their ears with their fingers to keep this tormenting noise out of their ears.
Killing intent flashed past Lord Ghost's eyes. He stretched his ghostly claws out to grab Han Xuya so that he could torment her viciously.
At this moment, a light flashed past his eyes.
Bang! Lord Ghost was forcibly pushed back by the flash of light. He slammed onto the ground with a large impact.
Upon the impact, the entire palace started shaking as if it was about to collapse on itself at any moment. At this moment, Lord Ghost finally saw the flash of light clearly. It was a small silver humanoid mecha.
No, it was more accurate to say that it was a person wearing a mecha outerwear. But, this outerwear had all the weapons and equipment a humanoid mecha should have.
The humanoid mecha clumsily climbed up from the ground. After colliding into Lord Ghost, the impact caused was a little overwhelming for the person inside.
"Chang Xinyuan, are you alright?" Luo Chao asked nervously. She had already come beside the humanoid mecha.
The humanoid mecha waved his hand. "I'm alright. My new experiment is finally put to use. Unfortunately, it's still in its testing phase. If not, that crash just now should have seriously injured Lord Ghost even if it didn't kill him," Chang Xinyuan said with pity.
The force behind his new invention was still not enough to fight with imperial stage domain experts. It was still not as powerful as the big-sized imperial mechas. But, to make it portable and convenient, he had to sacrifice on the bulky exterior of the big-sized mechas. But, because of that, the strength and explosive power of this mecha were greatly reduced too.
On the other side, Han Xuya had already started attacking Lord Ghost, who still hadn't gotten up from the ground, with immense fury.
She really wanted to kill Lord Ghost when he was still down. However, instead of invoking awe in Chang Xinyuan's heart, this ruthless and scary image instead caused Chang Xinyuan's heart to pump furiously. On the other hand, Luo Chao was looking at Han Xuya calmly as if this was something natural.
'She is truly Boss's younger sister. They are all vicious characters.' Chang Xinyuan felt that he was smart to stay inside his laboratory. He heard that his younger sisters often found men for duels. Sadly, none of his companions who were on equal strength as them managed to escape their evil claws.
