Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 976 - 128: I’ve Been Waiting for You for a Long Time

Chapter 976: Chapter 128: I’ve Been Waiting for You for a Long Time

In the dark passageway, it was so completely black that it was difficult to see one’s fingers in front of them.

Even with Xuan Sitian’s level of cultivation, his eyes met with blinding darkness, unable to see anything clearly.

It was as if something had swallowed all the light away.

Just as Xuan Sitian sensed something amiss, a fist suddenly struck viciously from behind.

That punch was unavoidable, covering numerous vital points on Xuan Sitian’s body. The narrow passageway left him feeling as though there was nowhere to retreat.

Not good! It’s an ambush.

This was Xuan Sitian’s first reaction when attacked.

The opponent was a martial artist, adept at close combat. In the blink of an eye, Xuan Sitian only had one thought, to survive!

Suddenly, a Holy-grade Magic Artifact appeared in his hand.

The artifact swiftly transformed into a Purple Gold Shield, positioned before the incoming punch.

Though Xuan Sitian was a summoner, as the City Lord, he had numerous treasures and artifacts concealed on him.

This Purple Gold Shield had astounding defensive power.

The assassin, emerging from the darkness with unprecedented speed, punched at the Purple Gold Shield.

Even a shield with such impressive defensive capability couldn’t withstand the immense force; a hole was instantly pierced through it.

Yet, this block saved Xuan Sitian’s life, granting him the opportunity to chant a magic spell.

Having pierced the Purple Gold Shield with one punch, could the assassin’s fist possibly be made of Purple Gold as well!

Xuan Sitian was astonished.

The more startling thing was yet to come; after piercing the shield, the assassin retracted their hand as if it was nothing, wrist slightly shaking, delivering a series of punches, rushing towards Xuan Sitian like surging tides.

However, Xuan Sitian was not a simple opponent; in the blink of an eye, he had completed his magic chanting, performing a Wind Escape, he had fled from the passageway.

Cold sweat was dripping from Xuan Sitian’s forehead.

Behind him, a voice teeming with mockery sounded.

"Xuan Sitian, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Xuan Sitian’s heart skipped a beat, he slowly turned around.

"Are you the Regent King Ye Beiming of Great Zhou?"

In the previously empty room, a man dressed in black appeared.

The man’s features were charming, his slightly dark skin smooth like jade, his robe darker than the night. His eyes twinkled like stars in the darkened room, still shining like candlelight.

Xuan Sitian hadn’t expected the Regent King, infamous across the continent these past few years, to be such a character.

Xuan Sitian was one of the major powers of his time.

Yet, facing this man in black, who seemed easygoing without any hint of fear, a faint smile loitered at the corners of his mouth.

After "his" appearance, another guard stood behind the man in black.

Xuan Sitian’s pupils narrowed fiercely.

The guard behind the man in black, astonishingly, was a Golden Man forged from Purple Gold.

He held Xuan Sitian’s own Purple Gold Shield in his hand.

The shield still bore the clearly visible hole.

Earlier in the passageway, Xuan Sitian used the shield to dodge the assassin’s deadly ambush in haste, unaware that the shield had been snatched away.

Immediately, Xuan Sitian realized that the one who nearly took his life in the passageway was this Purple Gold Man before him.

A living, walking Purple Gold Man on the continent, was this the legendary Eternal Magical Artifact that only Artifact Refining Masters could create?

Xuan Sitian’s heart tightened, realizing that the Regent King’s identity was even more mysterious.

Xuan Sitian did not recognize Yun Sheng.

Years ago, when Yun Sheng arrived at Dihong City, and now in disguise, Yun Sheng appeared much different, mainly because Yun Sheng was merely a Magic Master back then.

Yet, standing before Xuan Sitian now was a "Regent King" of great charisma, along with a powerful Purple Gold Guard.

"City Lord, did you enjoy my hospitality?" Though Yun Sheng appeared at ease, some worry lingered in her heart.

She had failed, despite sparing no resource, even exposing the Rich Man Gold, she could not successfully kill Xuan Sitian.

Xuan Sitian proved to be more difficult than she anticipated.

Traps were already laid within the passageway.

Guided by Bo Bo and discovering the White Tiger Imperial Jade, Yun Sheng immediately thought of a plan.

Since the Emperor Jade Pass was so crucial, controlling the Azure Dragon meant Xuan Sitian must already know of the Divine Road’s existence.

For someone like Xuan Sitian, whose ambition was far greater than dominating the continent, the allure of becoming a god was irresistible.

If Xuan Sitian were defeated and returned to Dihong City, his dream of dominating the continent would be shattered.

He would inevitably seek out the White Tiger Imperial Jade, and further seize the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise Imperial Jades, combining all four to open the Flame Divine Road.

Having deduced all this, Yun Sheng decisively set two ambushes within the passageway.

The first, using Little Black’s Swallowing Heaven Battle Technique, would blind Xuan Sitian within.

The second, using the Rich Man Gold.

The Rich Man Gold, versed in both magic and fighting spirit, breathed not a breath, lying in wait within the passageway, ready to strike and kill Xuan Sitian with one successful blow.

Indeed, Xuan Sitian was nearly caught in Yun Sheng’s trap.

However, Yun Sheng underestimated Xuan Sitian’s resourcefulness, his quick wits utilizing a Holy Artifact to escape such peril.

The failed ambush in the passageway meant Yun Sheng missed the best opportunity to easily eliminate Xuan Sitian. The next would be a battle more fierce than ever before.

"Regent King of Great Zhou, you’re so treacherous, setting traps in secret. Aren’t you afraid of sullying your reputation! That zither sound around the barracks and those misleading flyers, it’s all your doing!" Xuan Sitian spat, teeth clenched in hatred.

He, the illustrious City Lord of Dihong City, master of the Azure Dragon totem, reigned over the continent for decades, foiled by a mere fledgling.

What a disgrace, an absolute humiliation.

Great Zhou’s Ye Beiming must be eliminated!

"Xuan Sitian, how can I match your treachery? Killing your wife, stealing treasures, disregarding the lives of your subordinates, sneaking in to seize the White Tiger Imperial Jade," Yun Sheng replied indifferently to the insult. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

True "righteousness" only applies between matched opponents.

Xuan Sitian’s strength far exceeded hers.

To go head-to-head meant certain death; thus, she chose cunning.

Besides, arguing righteousness with an old fox, Yun Sheng was no fool.

Outside the passageway, seeing the surroundings clearly, Xuan Sitian regained his composure.

He glanced at Yun Sheng, and then at the passageway behind, understanding their situation.

"Seems you’ve learned about the Divine Road," the matter of the four Imperial Jades was closely guarded even within Dihong City, known to only a few.

Since the "Regent King" knows, it means "he" has awakened one of the Imperial Jades.

Upon realizing that he knew about the Emperor Jade and the Divine Road’s secret, Xuan Sitian was not angered; instead, he smirked sinisterly.
