Chapter 631 Confrontation With Bloody Rose (2)



Chapter 631 Confrontation With Bloody Rose (2)

The woman trapped under Ace's soul sword wave was feeling the horrific pressure as she could see the slowly chipping away barrier, and the necessity Qi to keep it active was getting more and more.

She never expected the monster would be so fierce that it could make her fall into such a pensive situation despite having a low-grade-7 formation at her disposal.

If news got out, her entire reputation will plummet!

Nevertheless, she knew it wasn't the time to worry about such a thing because she had to do something, or if she kept using the formation like this, then the barrier surrounding the building would be weakened.

A low seventh-grade formation required at least peak grade-6 Qi stones to run, or if she used her own Qi, it would only last for a little while before she got exhausted.

However, the peak grade-6 Qi stones were the peak currency of the elven continent, and only the main royal family possessed them, and they were not unlimited.

She only had enough to keep the formation activated for fifteen more minutes if she continued to use it to block those terrifying sword lights filled with sword intent.

If those sword lights were just a random skill, then she won't be worried, but sword intent changed everything. She never thought the monster was hiding such terrifying power.

Even in her own race, only the Second Elf King had comprehended the complete sword intent!

At this moment, before she could think of a way to counterattack, the black formation plate suddenly trembled.

'What is it?' She looked horrified when she discovered the formation started to take even more Qi to maintain the barrier, and it skyrocketed!

'I have to call for help!' She instantly decided as her amber eyes shimmered in a golden hue.

In contrast, Ace was getting extremely perplexed as he was maintaining the sword wave while he also used the soul cord and wrapped it around the black corporeal ball tightly.

He wanted to break that ball with the soul cord, but he was helpless since he couldn't use it to its full strength because of his limited cultivation. Still, he discovered the surrounding barrier was weakening as he kept bombarding the barrier, and now that he used the soul cord, it was getting weakened even faster.

'It seemed this formation can only be used for one thing at a time, or if it's used for another thing, it will weaken its defensive effect since that would take a significant amount of Qi output.' Ace was naturally elated when he thought about it.

He knew his sword intent wasn't something that could be blocked by a weak grade-7 barrier for long, and that woman also knew this, so she didn't dare to activate another feature of this formation and weakened the defensive barrier in the process.

Ace was even more confident of breaking this barrier since his Qi reserves were much vaster than a normal cultivator, not to mention potent.

'With the current depleting speed, I will be able to penetrate this barrier in five minutes. I just hope the reinforcement won't arrive quickly. But she also had to open a gap to let others in if she wanted someone's help. This might weaken the protective barrier on her further!' Ace's eyes shimmered deviously.

As he maintained the soul sword wave and sword cord, he even started to use soul-piercing bullets in the mix. Although he knew his soul attack wouldn't work or damage a Soul Manifestation Realm expert, especially if the other part were a soul embryo manifestation realm, it would still annoy her, nevertheless!

However, only a minute passed when Ace noticed his soul sense stirred. A terrifying aura was approaching right in this direction, and its speed was no less than his!

Ace instantly guessed that the woman had called the reinforcement and they would be here in over twenty seconds. If he wanted to subdue the other party, he had to do it in this small window, but he knew it was impossible.

Lastly, the surrounding barrier had significantly weakened, and he could penetrate it with a few sword lights.

Ace feels extremely conflicted at this moment since he can now easily escape toward the other entrance, but he can't ignore Moira's warning either.

Within this split second, Ace decided as his eyes shone with the dark current before half of the sword lights were smashed into the weakened barrier around the building.

Because of the weakened barrier, the sword lights easily penetrated the barrier and opened a huge hole in the building.

The woman inside the barrier also heard the large explosion, and her heart went cold, 'He's escaping!'

She knew the monster had most probably guessed her intention and might have already discovered her helper approaching, so he wanted to flee!

However, she was helpless because if she focused the barrier on the building and mended the hole, she would be completely vulnerable to those sword intents and won't last for much longer.

She still wasn't completely sure if the monster had revealed his entire strength either, and it might be a trap to lure her out before he used something else to finish her off.

The more she thought about it, the more trapped she felt. She was too cautious and always considered the worst of things. That's how she reached this point, as well as she was stuck on the sixth floor.

But this chance was too precious, and her help would arrive in a few moments. She knew she had to take the chance and endure until the help arrived.

The next moment, the black barrier over her started to transpire as she focused half of the barrier over the building.

But right at this moment, she saw a silhouette appear right amidst the sword lights, and she had enough time to see a blinding light hacking over her with a menacingly oppressive aura!

Ace was swinging a long sword brandished with pure sword intent as he hacked over the weakened barrier with everything he had, and under that blinding sword light, a hint of dark was mixed within but deeply hidden.

Ace had decided to take this action after he felt the barrier weakened. He was hoping for two things when he destroyed the barrier over the building.

First, if she didn't try to stop him, then he would leave a thief mark on her and escape to the next floor and then come back later to find her.

The second, which was if she tried to be greedy and divert the barrier to stop him from escaping, he'll use the last grade-6 sword with his shadow sword intent to destroy the barrier over the woman and capture her in one fell swoop.

In the end, she becomes greedy and tries to stop him until her other helper arrives. But Ace was ready for this, and this time he used slightly shadow intent while carefully hiding it under the sword intent to end this in a flash before anyone would notice the shadow intent.

The woman naturally was caught off guard since she felt an even more terrifying aura behind that incoming sword. Alas, she was still too late, and before she could revert all the Qi into the barrier over her, the blinding sword had already touched the barrier!

'Booommm….'

A huge explosion reverberated in the vicinity, creating terrifying sharp waves and debris.

Ace looked at the broken barrier and the beauty within. The formation plate over her was now cracked, but she was still fine. She had used the formation plate at the last second to protect herself.

But it also took a huge toll on her, and now she was looking at the hooded figure with a hint of hate and dread.

The other barriers around Ace also faded away at this moment.

She didn't want to die, and she knew her helper was already around the corner, so she gathered her Qi to continue fighting. But before she could, she felt something wrapping around her body as her eyes winded in horror.

She looked at the hooded monster with appalling, and a cold voice rang at this moment, "Now you can die!"

Thereafter, she saw another white sword materialize and instantly hack at her as she visibly felt death approaching.

She closed her eyes at this moment as strange relief washed over her, and she let go of everything, 'Sorry, Dad, I won't be able to see you again. Thank you for giving me so much love, don't be sad because of my death, I'll be forever with you, and I hope I'll be born as your daughter again and repay you in the next life…'

However a few moments passed, but she didn't feel any pain and opened her eyes in confusion, and she was shocked when she found herself in utter darkness.

"Did I die without feeling anything?" She mumbled bitterly.

Ace, who was looking at a huge charred crater, smiled slyly.

Right at this moment, an appalled shrill rang before a terrifying aura enveloped the area.

"NOOOOO… what have you done!"

This voice belonged to non-other than Elvish Crown Princess, Livia!
