Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 345 - 336: I’ve Waited Too Long for This Day!

Chapter 345: Chapter 336: I’ve Waited Too Long for This Day!

"Hahahahahaha."

"Senior, you really know how to joke."

"If you were at your prime, you could have easily killed me."

"But now, it’s not so easy for you to kill me, is it?"

The Dao-robed man stared at Zero, flames of madness igniting in his eyes.

"Senior, if I’m not mistaken, this body of yours isn’t your true form."

"Your true form should still be on ’that path’, right?"

"No matter how powerful you are, without your true form, it’s unlikely you can kill me, right?"

The Dao-robed man gazed directly into Zero’s eyes and spoke slowly.

.....

"Senior, once I slaughter him, let’s catch up together."

"I also want to ask you about the matters on ’that path’."

With that said, the Dao-robed man turned and walked toward Su Mu.

In the next second, just as Zero was about to move, a powerful pressure descended upon him again.

He calculated everything but never thought that the other would strike at Su Mu while his true form was absent.

...

"I’ve long admired the name of this revered elder."

"I’ve come today for no other reason but to kill you, I’m sorry."

The Dao-robed man, with hands behind his back, spoke slowly to Su Mu within the array.

Su Mu appraised this Dao-robed man, finding no memories of him in his recollections.

Moreover, he couldn’t discern the man’s true cultivation.

...

At this moment, the Qing-robed woman behind waved her hand, and a White Jade Long Sword appeared in her palm.

The powerful sword pressure enveloped her, causing ripples to appear circle after circle beneath her feet.

In the next second, she swung the sword toward Su Mu, the Sword Qi transforming into a white dragon heading to kill Su Mu trapped in the array.

Splash—

The Dao-robed man waved his large hand, directly shattering this sword qi dragon, instantly reducing it into a fine powder that fell into the river.

"What are you doing?"

The Qing-robed woman coldly eyed the Dao-robed man, her tone not cordial.

"Stay out of this."

"No need for you to intervene. I’ve never liked striking beasts trapped in cages, it’s boring."

"I want to face him head-on, kill him."

The Dao-robed man said slowly.

"Have you forgotten why we’re here?" The Qing-robed woman said coldly.

"I certainly know."

"The outcome is still to kill him, isn’t it the same if I do it?"

"The result won’t change."

The Dao-robed man replied.

Their plan was to trap Su Mu within the array, rendering the River of Time useless to him, then they would attack from outside the array until Su Mu perished.

But when the moment came to act, the Dao-robed man changed his mind.

Hearing this conversation, sweat poured from the nine monks.

"Oh heavens above!"

At this point, they’re still talking about fairness and justice??

Then what have they been fighting so hard to trap him for??

Lord Tianluo also talked about fairness and justice, only to be defeated in one move, isn’t that a precedent?

.....

"If you dare break the array, I will stop at nothing to kill you." The Qing-robed woman thought the Dao-robed man was about to break the array and release Su Mu.

Once Su Mu sets foot on the River of Time, the entire plan fails.

"Relax, there’s no need to break the array."

"If I fail, you just continue the task."

"I said, the outcome won’t change."

Once done, the Dao-robed man stepped into the array, standing in front of Su Mu.

...

"This space is too small."

"Let’s change places to fight."

With these words, the Dao-robed man took out a black and white Yin Yang Compass from his sleeve.

In the next second, the black and white Yin Yang Compass floated up, pulling both Su Mu and the Dao-robed man into the Compass Space.

...

The surrounding scenes continuously changed.

Su Mu found himself in a new space.

An endless snowy plain, snowflakes drifting in the air.

Nothing else could be seen, only the snow plain.

The two stood facing each other, in the midst of the snow plain.

Although they had entered the Dao-robed man’s Compass Space, they were still within the array.

.....

At this moment, above the River of Time, gazing at the Yin Yang Compass floating within the array.

Everyone was silent.

The nine monks looked towards the Qing-robed woman not far away, asking: "My Lady, what should we do now..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"How much longer can you hold on?" The Qing-robed woman frowned and asked.

"My Lady, at most we can only hold on for three hours; once three hours have passed, the array will automatically dissolve." The nine monks replied.

...

"In two hours, we will launch an all-out attack." The Qing-robed woman said coldly.

The nine monks looked troubled and said: "But, if that lord hasn’t settled the fight yet, wouldn’t it be..."

"Once two hours are up, regardless of whether they’ve finished their fight, destroy everything."

"If he wishes to die, let him have his wish."

The Qing-robed woman said slowly.

....

At this moment, Elder Ling on the small boat not far away.

Looking at that black and white Yin Yang Grinding Disc, he also looked shocked.

"Wasn’t this Magical Treasure already destroyed long ago?"

"Why has it fallen into his hand?"

Elder Ling thought in shock.

In this situation, things have already become extremely perilous for fellow Daoist Su Mu.

Entering this "Grinding Disc", and being within the array, is like having two layers of debuffs for Su Mu.

First, he can’t manipulate the Water of Time for combat.

Second, this Grinding Disc is that madman’s Magical Treasure, and in this Grinding Disc Space, it’s virtually impossible for the madman to lose.

Unless.... unless fellow Daoist Su Mu’s own strength has reached a certain realm, only then could he have a chance to defeat him.

But.... even if fellow Daoist Su Mu can defeat him.

There’s still only two hours, two hours.... not nearly enough to determine victory.

Once two hours are up, the opponents will destroy everything together along with the Grinding Disc, meaning both Su Mu and that madman will perish!

Therefore, the only way to break the situation is.... for fellow Daoist Su Mu to kill that madman within two hours, then get out to face the Qing-robed woman and the nine monks, break the array, and return to the River of Time.

...

This is too difficult...

Completely impossible.

In his view, the only way to break the situation is to wait for his "true form" to return.

But, time is already running out.

His "true form" returning from that path would take at least a month at the fastest.

It seems the mastermind behind all this has calculated everything.

...

His numerous attempts, crossing the river time and again, continual guarding.

In the end, his opponent caught him at a time lapse.

Is the future he saw really just a joke?

Elder Ling looked up at the sky, continuously questioning himself....

...

Inside the Compass Space.

The Dao-robed man slowly took a floating dust from his sleeve, smiling as he spoke to Su Mu: "Elder, in fact... I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time now."
