Chapter 30
Jin Linkai is caught off guard when the emperor attacks him. But what made a chill ran down his spine is when he saw the aura of the emperor.
Everyone drew a deep gasps when they realize why they felt chill a moment ago.
Dark aura...
The emperor is a dark practitioner!
Di Xueyan's face fell. She already encountered dark practitioners through her training from her mother. Aside from training them how to fight higher level beasts of different species and learning their weaknesses, her mother also made a some sort of virtual reality of different family techniques of the different families of the central region, including the dark arts. That training is the most inhumane training that they ever had, as they have to spot the weaknesses of the techniques all by themselves. She died countless times, luckily that was just a virtual reality, though the injuries felt like hell and they really felt how they breathe their painful last breaths.
The thing is, the emperor's circumstances looks like not a technique, or so she thought.
Jin Linkai is having a fierce fight with the emperor. His comrades are about to intervene as they saw how empowered the emperor looks like with his ' black super saiyan' look when Jin Linkai stopped them with his eyes, saying he can do it .
Don't get them wrong, of course they knew about Dragon Ball as whenever they have spare time, Di Xueyan will immediately take her 'laptop' and 'projector', as she called them, so that they all can have movie marathon. Yes, and that was the beginning of the lazy days of the pavilion. Some even slacked in their cultivation because they were too fascinated with the Drago Ball series that all they wanted to do is to lock themselves in the 'computer room' of the pavilion, which enraged Di Xueyan and made her confiscate the laptop and projector and swore to the heavens that she will never take it out again unless they all reach the realm level.
The emperor throw a fist towards Jin Linkai. The surrounding energy seems to get sucked as a pitch black aura is spiralling in the surrounding, concentrating its energy into the emperor's fist.
The people find it hard to breath as they clutch their chest to breath in and out. Jin Linkai knew that the emperor is not even holding back.
It all happened so fast that Jin Linkai had no choice but to use the Ancient Shield Origin that Di Xueyan had taught to them. Instantly, a sky blue transparent barrier appeared in front of him, helping him reduce the unbelievably gigantic impact that a single fist could have.
The emperor's fist collided with the shield. For a second, Jin Linkai saw how the chocolate brown eyes of the emperor is slowly turning into black in a spiraling manner , until even the white region of his eyes turned as black as ink. He suddenly remembers the horror movies that they once watched when Di Xueyan still allowed them to use the laptop and projector.
For a second, the surrounding became extremely quite, but a sound of crack rammed into the pavilion people's ears, making their hearts feel despair. They all knew how powerful that ancient skills is! Not even an indigo 5th step beast can crack it. Not all can master that skill, not even them because it needs a higher level of talent! Only Jin Linkai and the 10 trusted aids of Di Xueyan were able to use that skill.
After the crack, a loud bang resounded. Jin Linkai was immediately thrown outside by the force. The dust flew all over the room, as everyone of them, except for Di Xueyan, got thrown out by that enormous force. Di Xueyan immediately held general Bai's battered body as she saw how pitiful his almost broken body flew in the air.
" Thanks!", general Bai almost lost his breath when he muster a hoarse voice. He cough violently as he felt the dust enters his lungs. He looks at the face of the girl who was just shaking in fear a while ago, but no trace of emotion can be seen in her peerless face right now. When he realized how easy it was for her to catch and stabilize his body on the ground despite the force forcing them to flew and collapse, he suddenly wonder just who is the little girl in his side right now. He doesn't believe that she was just lost a moment ago and accidentally went to the emperor's chamber.
" No problem, uncle", Di Xueyan smiles lightly, . The sunlight striking in her bright smiling face made the general's brain to blank out. He never imagined that someone can have such beauty that even Gods will covet. But of course, in his eyes and heart, his wife is still the most beautiful.
Di Xueyan just muster a smile to the poor senior. She has to impress this uncle so that her best friend, whom she considers as her brother, can smoothly enter their family.
How would she knows that even if she just let the old man roll in the bushes outside the pavilion, Jin Linkai is still very welcomed in the Bai family?
The people waiting outside the pavilion stood frozen on the spot as they saw how the once majestic dragon chamber of the emperor was blasted into dust. They saw how the people inside dramatically flew in random directions, some with higher cultivations managed to stabilized themselves while those pitiful folks with lower cultivations rolled like logs in the different parts of the garden, some even landed in the lotus pond behind the chamber with a loud splash.
The alleged ministers who were dragged by the Sangre Pavilion in the palace to receive their punishment feel hope rising in their hearts as they saw the pathetic state of the men from Sangre Pavilion who were once inside the emperor's chamber.
' Does that means that the emperor has a solution to this dilemma?', they all thought hopefully.
They all saw as the emperor slowly strides outside the 'ruins', once called his dragon chamber. His malevolent face and the devious smirk in his face, made his regal and righteous persona vanish.
Even those hopeful hearts of the ministers shatter as they saw the dark aura surrounding the emperor. Their eyes widened as they saw how the emperor's eyes turned completely pitch black.
The emperor laughs at the terrified faces in front of him. This is the scene that he has always envisioned when he started cultivating the ancient dual dark arts that a mysterious person introduced.
His laugh sounds like someone from hell, deep as if it came from a different person. The whole surrounding seems to stop.
Di Xueyan shivers. Well, not because she is scared, but because he sounded like Valak from The Conjuring 2. She can't help but laugh a little when she envisioned the emperor wearing a nun outfit.
Her laugh breaks the silent atmosphere. All of them, including the emperor, stares at her as if she's mental. She can't help but to laugh harder as she fearlessly stares at the emperor while clutching her stomach.
" Sor - - Sorry everyone ahahahh. The emperor just reminded me of someone ahahahsh", she wipes her tears while her eyes sparkles in mischief as she already strips the emperor's robe and crown and made him donned a nun outfit with head veil in her mind. She envisioned his new outfit again, she laugh harder when she realize how his current face fits Valak's description so much, except the cracked face part.
Jin Linkai and the people from the pavilion twitch their lips. They all knew that she is powerful enough so she can laugh at this situation, but what about them, lowly creatures?
' Great ancestor! Please cease laughing right away, else you'll make the monster more powerful with rage right now!', they all thought pleadingly.
Di Xueyan saw their worried and bitter expressions, and quickly defended herself.
" Guys, sorry but don't you think he sounds and looks like Valak right now?", she said while clutching her stomach to contain herself, while fearlessly pointing at the ugly look of the emperor's face.
The pavilion's people slowly processed her nonsense. They close their eyes to contain their laughter because they knew that this is not the best time to have fun but, as they envisioned Valak's face, when they watched the conjuring before, and compared it with the emperor,
' Just goddammit!', they thought as they also curse Di Xueyan's creative mind who never fails to make funny scenarios.
