Chapter 236 Abyssal Sage King Backs Down_2

"Ugh... Ah..."

He let out a painful cry, rapidly withdrawing his body, and left the Demon Emperor standing there alone.

"You're really screwing me over, aren't you?"

The Demon Emperor was dumbfounded, never expecting to suddenly face Bi Bidong alone.

"I'll help you!"

In a stroke of terrible luck, just like a leak worsening on a rainy night, the Demon Emperor saw the Deepsea Devil Whale King bellowing as it charged over, making a pincer attack with Bi Bidong from the left and the right.

"Gurgle!"

He swallowed hard, unable to stop himself from bellowing loudly, "Sage King, if you don't deal with Qin Xiao soon, your loyal subordinate will have been brutally slaughtered by them."

As if hearing the Demon Emperor's prayers, the Abyssal Sage King and Qin Xiao both retreated several hundred meters after a single exchange.

It must be said, the battle between them was still immensely brutal.

Qin Xiao's clothing was torn in many places, and blood dripped steadily down from his wounds.

Some wounds were even bone-deep.

And the Abyssal Sage King?

His boundless black cape had been shredded.

Only the stand-up collar remained around his neck, which looked quite comical.

Dark red blood also streamed from the corner of his mouth. But he couldn't care less to wipe it away.

More severely, his left arm was almost hanging by mere flesh and skin.

"Who would have thought that the fusion of two Divine Powers could make your strength so formidable."

Admiration filled the eyes of the Abyssal Sage King.

Although they were adversaries, Qin Xiao's strength still gained his recognition.

Conversely, Qin Xiao shook his head, a bit dissatisfied.

"Your strength is weaker than I expected."

He meant what he said.

It appeared that, due to being ahead by tens of thousands of years, the cultivation level of the Abyssal Sage King hadn't reached the pinnacle of a Level One God, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

"Hmph, at a time like this, you still dare to boast with words?"

The Abyssal Sage King snorted coldly.

He felt Qin Xiao was deliberately mocking him.

"Hope you can still laugh later."

Saying so, he clenched his hands, and a grotesquely large halberd appeared in his grip.

The terrifying aura of its edge couldn't even be contained by space, and even without being wielded, tiny spatial rifts appeared around the blade.

Undoubtedly, this was the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss!

"This..."

Bi Bidong's pupils suddenly contracted.

What a terrifying weapon.

An outcry echoed in her mind.

The scythe in her hand was also a Divine Artifact, but compared to the weapon in the hands of the Abyssal Sage King, she didn't know by how many grades it was inferior.

It seemed as if it could easily slice her Rakshasa God Scythe in two.

"Hiss..."

The horrific aura of the blade swiftly swept across the arena.

Those who noticed turned cold with fear.

It chilled their souls.

"Heaven Saint Crack Abyss."

"Truly a super Divine Artifact."

Qin Xiao licked his lips, also expressing his admiration.

That said, it wasn't a remark without purpose.

The weapon was powerful, and he had to admit that much.

But it wasn't as if he had no way to counter it.

Suddenly, he opened his arms wide, exposing his chest.

"What do you mean by this?" the Abyssal Sage King was confused.

Could it be that he was giving up resistance and allowing himself to be struck?

That seemed unlikely.

Click, click, click.

Just when everyone was perplexed, a set of armor appeared on Qin Xiao.

The armor looked ancient and even a bit damaged, with holes throughout its surface.

Without a doubt, this item was extraordinary—it was the Thunder Emperor's Armor left to Qin Xiao by the Thunder Emperor before his departure!

"Wait, that armor isn't simple!"

The Abyssal Sage King at first didn't care, but as he released his spiritual thoughts, he detected something unusual.

Those holes seemed like abysses that could consume everything and appeared to grant Qin Xiao endless strength.

"This could very well be an artifact not inferior to the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss!"

After a moment of confusion, the Abyssal Sage King judged the value of the item.

It was very special.

"Heh, I'd like to see whether my Heaven Saint Crack Abyss is sharper, or your armor is more robust."

With those words, he no longer hesitated, and the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss in his hand hurled forward abruptly, a hundred-meter-long massive blade aura tearing through the void, with the intention of cleaving Qin Xiao in two.

But at that moment, Qin Xiao's confidence swelled immensely.

The Thunder Emperor's Armor, an extraordinary item like this, was not something the super Divine Artifact could compare to.

He simply stood his ground, motionless, allowing the huge blade aura to strike him.

"You're too overconfident!" the Abyssal Sage King said gravely.

But as his voice fell, that massive sharp edge split down upon Qin Xiao, instantly shattering to pieces.

"The defensive power is so strong?"

The Abyssal Sage King's eyelids twitched uncontrollably at the sight, and the corners of his mouth convulsed wildly.

It was truly unexpected.

He had considered that the armor could provide Qin Xiao with strong defense.

But Qin Xiao standing still without moving was a bit too outrageous.

"Hmph, that's nothing. That was just a probe. Although somewhat unexpected, it's not unacceptable."

"The true strength of Heaven Saint Crack Abyss lies not in ranged attacks, but in close combat. Facing him in melee, I shall surely take his life."

Thinking this, the Abyssal Sage King quickly calmed himself, picked up the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss, and charged towards Qin Xiao.

He didn't believe that Heaven Saint Crack Abyss could be defeated!

Ding ding ding ding.

The great halberd kept hacking at Qin Xiao's body, sparking in all directions, but Qin Xiao felt no discomfort at all.

"Is this all the strength you have?"

Qin Xiao was unrestrainedly excited.

You should know that this is a super divine weapon, and there are not many in the entire Douluo Divine Realm. It is countless levels above the Thunder Emperor's Armor.

"You've been hitting for quite a while now. Now it's my turn."

After having a rough idea of how strong his defense was, Qin Xiao also took the initiative to throw a punch.

It must be said that the Abyssal Sage King also had some pride. After being hit by Qin Xiao's numerous attacks, he wanted to test Qin Xiao's current strength, so he let Qin Xiao's fists pound his chest.

And his halberd hacked down on Qin Xiao's body once again.

The posture of the two was essentially hitting themselves.

However, whereas Qin Xiao was unharmed, the Abyssal Sage King was not so fortunate.

Pu pu.

The powerful punches went straight through the body of the Abyssal Sage King.

Two dark bolts of lightning shot out from his body, streaking towards the distant sky.

"You..."

The Abyssal Sage King opened his mouth to speak, but before the words came out, blood gushed from his mouth.

His entire body flew backward.

"Sage King!"

"Sage King!"

Cries of alarm rose.

The scene before them completely exceeded the expectations of the abyssal creatures.

They even felt a sense of disbelief.

What's going on?

You should know when the Abyssal Sage King pulled out the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss, they all thought Qin Xiao would be chopped into pieces in no time?

But what was the outcome?

The Sage King had pulled out a super divine weapon, yet he couldn't break the opponent's defense. With a counterattack, he was immediately blown away by a couple of punches?

It seemed he was also seriously injured.

It was truly outrageous.

How could they accept such a result?

"Cough cough cough..."

"You, how could your fighting power have increased so much..."

Far away, the Abyssal Sage King finally steadied himself, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Qin Xiao.

Too powerful.

The current cultivation level of Qin Xiao made him tremble, giving him the feeling of facing a Divine King.

This was insurmountable.

He could already smell the scent of death wafting through the air.

Qin Xiao silently took a step forward.

At this point, talking was meaningless.

To avoid any prolonged trouble, it was better to kill the Abyssal Sage King first.

Seeing this, the Abyssal Sage King's heart sank.

If Qin Xiao launched another attack, could he withstand it?

When this thought emerged, two words immediately came to mind: highly unlikely!

Even at his full strength, he was no match for Qin Xiao, let alone now that he was seriously injured.

"First, retreat to the abyssal plane, and then make a long-term plan!"

In an instant, the Abyssal Sage King made his decision.

Then he slashed backward, and a huge space rift appeared.

On the other side of the space, it was the abyssal plane!

He believed that as long as he returned to the abyssal plane, he would stand a chance against Qin Xiao.

"You want to leave so soon."

Qin Xiao frowned. He was fast, but not necessarily fast enough to stop the Abyssal Sage King.

Because even if he landed two more punches, he might not be able to kill him, and the Abyssal Sage King would risk severe injuries to escape back into the abyss.

Just as the Abyssal Sage King thought, Qin Xiao was somewhat wary of going to the abyssal plane to fight.

Glancing at the Wisdom Emperor and the Demon Emperor who were fighting with Bi Bidong, an idea crossed his mind.

Suddenly, his third soul ring glowed and in an instant, he teleported next to the Wisdom Emperor.

The Wisdom Emperor immediately panicked.

What's going on?

Coupled with the inability to stop the Sage King's departure, are you venting your anger on me?
