Chapter 455: The Relic And The Ending of The Remains

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Usually, ordinary Practitioners would try to stay clear of battles between Class A’s so as not to be rolled in as collateral damage. So, no one would have expected the appearance of a golden snake from the blood pool, and its act of swallowing the blood spirit’s soul when it surrendered it to the Puppet Master!

In the meantime, the Puppet Master was fully concentrated in its defense against Li Xianyi’s swords of will. Its gold-lined black cloak flapped in the air, acting as an excellent layer of protection for itself.

But in that instant, the golden snake returned to the pool, while the blood spirit’s vitality had been sapped due to the loss of its soul.

In shock, the Puppet Master and Li Xianyi turned to look at Lu Shu, but the latter was equally stunned like themselves.

It was perfectly understandable. Was the golden snake not supposed to stay inside the divine water? Yet it turned out that it could actually leave when there was something yummy?!

Speaking of which, why couldn’t it? Didn’t the snake come out and assist Nogiwa Takenobu during his fight?!

So unreliable!

Earlier Lu Shu trusted the snake to be more dependable than his gourd, but now he understood that they were birds of the same feather! Complaints aside, Lu Shu quickly put his divine water and the golden snake back into his Seal of Lands in case the Puppet Master might vent its anger on them…

As a matter of fact, Lu Shu’s original intention was to enslave the blood spirit. But it did not seem to work that way as the spirit looked like it was in the jaws of death…

Actually, the acceptance of the blood soul came with a contract bound by secret spells. That was why engulfing the soul was equivalent to sapping its energy instead of claiming ownership.

In a split second, to everyone’s surprise, the divine water had expanded by almost a third! Lu Shu had invested in it more than one thousand broken weapons, magical weapons, gargoyles, a blood devil and countless beetles so as to grow it to its current size. Yet a single soul of a blood spirit could produce such tremendous effects!

Truly, a Class A’s power was beyond imagination!

Suddenly both the Puppet Master and its iron-clad puppet swerved towards Li Xianyi mid air. The puppet hurled out a punch so strong that even spatial dimensions were starting to distort. But Li Xianyi remained calm, manipulating his swords with his will, resulting in a flurry of clashing sounds on the puppet’s armor.

Made of unknown materials, the puppet could actually withstand such powerful strikes with sheer endurance!

However, its earth-shattering blow was also reduced to a gentle breeze by the curtain of swords.

The Puppet Master remained stolid. It knew the descendant of the Hall of Swords still had cards up his sleeves awaiting the right time. This time, the man’s main agenda in the remains was to find the blood spirit and now he was free to leave.

At this moment, using the iron puppet as its stronghold, the Puppet Master commanded the blood spirit coldly, “Come! Quick!”

Unable to maintain its human form, the spirit transformed into a blood fog and flew into the Master’s black cloak. Li Xianyi laughed scornfully at the sight. He had decided to give up the relic and fight till his last breath!

Actually that was how enemies were made in the remains among big organizations. Once the relic had been found, no one would lay a finger on it at all. Therefore, all of them were trapped inside and they could only kill one another as time wore on. However, those types of incidents had only happened once since the regeneration of Spirit Qi.

At this moment, a snowy white mask fell out from the blood spirit’s fading figure. Just when the mask was about to come into contact with the pool, the Puppet Master seized it between its fingers from a distance away. Then, with slight hesitation, it hurled the mask towards Lu Shu!

As thought having sensed something, the mask suddenly transfigured into an ashen face with a gaping mouth. It was totally unexpected and no one knew why the Puppet Master suddenly attacked Lu Shu!

But in the next second, there was a fit of palpitation in Lu Shu’s heart. He felt the flame suddenly trembled a little before being extinguished to its usual state.

Meanwhile, the ferocious mask turned obedient and landed on Lu Shu’s palm like an ordinary toy.

In that instant, the entire remains collapsed like a broken mirror. All the pieces of the world started gushing into the mask. He had found the relic!

How could it be the relic? Lu Shu was in shock. Why did the remains not shut down when the mask was in the Puppet Master’s hand?!

Besides, why was the mask suppressed by the flame in his heart? The mask had chosen to attack himself over the Puppet Master, but was immediately tamed by the appearance of the flame. Ever since the regeneration of Spirit Qi Lu Shu had always been curious about the true identity of the fire.

Just before the remains collapsed, Lu Shu saw the Puppet Master enter its iron puppet like a shadow. He sensed a confused stare from within the cloak, as though the Puppet Master too found the action of the mask inexplicable.

But there was no time for careful analysis. In the blink of an eye, they found themselves back on Koh Chang island. Then, the Puppet Master soared into the sky from its puppet.

Together they fled westward, with Li Xianyi following close behind.

Instantly every single leaf on the island left its branch, turning into numerous leaf daggers beside Li Xianyi. All Practitioners gazed up in awe as the sky was covered by swarms of leaves.

It was a fight between Class A’s!

No one foresaw the sudden ending of the remains and all of them were still fleeing for their lives. Now, they were still guessing the identity of the unfamiliar Class A.

Judging from the current situation, it seemed that Li Xianyi was running after the Class A who had secretly secured the relic…

Despite their preparation to compete for the relic outside the remains, everyone decided to let it be since it was a Class A who took it… At the very least, it was better alive than dead.

Once outside the remains, Lu Shu immediately put the mask in his Seal of Lands. Then, acting as if nothing had happened, he dragged Lu Xiaoyu and Li Yixiao, who was still shocked and puzzled, into the sea to leave the site through the water as soon as possible!

With so many Practitioners on Koh Chang island, no one could be sure whether any trouble would be caused there. When they were back to the Pattaya coastline, a cruise ship branded with the Phoenix Society logo came into sight. As a man who was in for a penny and in for a pound, Lu Shu took down all the cruise ships that belonged to big organizations altogether…

As for those of the local tourism industry, he spared them. After all, they still relied on them for their next meal.
