Chapter 651: Black-Robed Figure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After seeing the black-robed figure attack, the North City Lord was frightened. He was no match for an eighth-level Zenith Heaven realm expert!

Thus, the North City Lord immediately turned tail and ran without saying anything!

Seeing the North City Lord escape, this eighth-level Zenith Heaven realm expert did not chase after him.

On the contrary, this was what he wanted to see. As long as he occupied the northern part of Qingmu City, that was enough. Once he occupied this place, he would be able to establish his family here.

After all, although Black Dragon City was powerful, the competition for resources was too fierce. Furthermore, there was a resource here that no one was aware of.

There was a Level 10 immortal mine in the northern district, which contained over 1 billion immortal stones, and perhaps even more!

Therefore, he was happy to just occupy this place peacefully to develop his power.

At the same time, Wang Mang, who was hiding in the dark, was also restless.

Since the North City Lord had abandoned his post, he should be able to justifiably occupy the northern district and take on the position of North City Lord, right?

Wang Mang’s heart stirred, and he slowly put on the Immortal Emperor Mask, as Wu Shi looked on in anticipation.

Every time Wang Mang wore this mask, his strength would skyrocket, and Wu Shi had witnessed this when Wang Mang killed the Fifth Elder.

At this moment, before Wang Mang prepared to attack, he told Wu Shi, “Wu Shi, wait for me here for a moment.”

Wu Shi nodded.

Wang Mang took a step forward and appeared in the sky, standing proudly. After that, he immediately launched an earth-shattering attack at the black-robed figure!

Wang Mang condensed a giant hand that seemed to be able to move the world itself!

It contained a terrifying amount of immortal qi as it tried to grab the late-stage Zenith Heaven realm expert.

Seeing this scene, the black-robed figure was infuriated.

“How dare you!”

As he roared, the black-robed figure also raised his hand and struck the incoming hand. A second giant hand collided with the first!

Boom!

Accompanied by this shocking loud sound, terrifying shockwaves swept out, forcing the early-stage and middle-stage Zenith Heaven realm experts who were still fighting to retreat.

However, the victor between the two sides was also immediately apparent.

The black-robed figure’s giant hand had been crushed by Wang Mang’s giant hand!

This caused the black-robed figure’s expression to change drastically, and he hurriedly formed a hand seal and activated a defensive divine power, forming a barrier around his body.

Boom!

When Wang Mang’s giant palm struck the barrier, the barrier was completely destroyed. However, Wang Mang’s giant hand also dissipated at this moment.

At the same time, the impact from the blow forced the black-robed figure to reveal his original form.

He was an extremely ugly old man. His face was festered and distorted, and he looked a little terrifying.

Seeing this, Wang Mang was momentarily stunned, but then laughed out loud.

“1 was wondering why you were hiding who you were. It turns out that you’re an ugly monster!”

Despite hearing Wang Mang’s mockery, the ugly old man did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Wang Mang in shock.

No! Strictly speaking, he was looking at the Immortal Emperor Mask on Wang Mang’s face.

As a late-stage Zenith Heaven realm expert, he naturally knew about this mask, as he too had entered the supreme genius’ tomb. However, he had not been strong enough to fight for the mask in his category, and could only settle for the other benefits.

However, one had appeared in front of him now, and his eyes were filled with greed.

In his opinion, Wang Mang’s true strength was only that of a seventh-level Zenith Heaven realm expert. Although with the mask, Wang Mang was indeed stronger than he was, it was not to the point where it was unattainable.

In comparison to some of the others who had obtained the mask, and were Saint Emperor realm experts, Wang Mang did not seem very powerful at all.

However, ever since the closure of the supreme genius’ tomb, the owners of the masks had either disappeared, or become low-key.

This also caused many people who had other thoughts to helplessly give up. Now, he was presented with an opportunity that was even more attractive than the Level 10 immortal mine!

“What? Do you fancy my Immortal Emperor Mask?”

Wang Mang’s killing intent intensified when he saw the greed in this fellow’s eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Hearing this, the ugly old man smiled.

Then, he said to the few early and mid-stage Zenith Heaven realm experts in the distance,

“Go and send news of the mask back to Black Dragon City.”

“In addition, this old man will hold him back! Don’t let this kid escape!”

Hearing this, these experts nodded and flew away.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mang was incensed.

“What? Do you think you can stall me until reinforcements arrive?”

“You’ll be dead before anyone comes!”

Hearing this, the extremely ugly old man immediately smiled in disdain.

Then, he looked at Wang Mang with a smug expression and could no’t help but sneer, “1 can’t beat you, but it’s not a problem to hold you back.”

“So what if you’re a ninth-level Zenith Heaven realm expert?”

“Do you think you can easily kill me? Do you think you’re qualified to do so? Dream on!”
