"The ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom is indeed at the Peak of the Ninth Stage. Probably with just a bit mor time, he would break through to the Half-Step Domain Lord Realm… What a pity…" Shaking her head as she looked over at the centre of the explosion, Shu Yao already knew the outcome of the battle before she could see the two figures beneath the layer of dust that surrounded them at the moment.
Even she would not be able to win against Su Wuhan in combat! Let alone the ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, who hadn't even reached the true peak of the Nascent Soul Realm yet…
"H-how!?"
As if to answer her prediction, the fearful voice of the ancestor could be heard as the dust slowly began to settle. Revealing the current state of the two respective rulers.
One standing without a single injury, while the other was covered in blood with a broken maze laying next to him on the ground.
Disbelief written on his old face, as he could still not understand how he had been defeated so easily by Su Wuhan.𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"You are simply weaker than me, that simple… Now, want to tell me where you hid that thing? I'm certain that you wouldn't bring it with you in your interspatial, it should be way too big for that!"
Walking over to the half kneeling ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, Su Wuhan asked in a demanding tone. Not leaving any way out for the old man.
"Hmph, think I will tell you? Over my dead body!"
Regaining some of his former arrogance for a short moment, the old man decisively abandoned his physical body, as his Nascent Soul flew into the sky and began escaping at the fastest speed possible.
"You!"
Even if Su Wuhan had predicted that the old ancestor would do something like that when driven close to death, he could still not catch up with the old man's Nascent Soul as it flew into the distance. Far exceeding the speed, he or his attacks would be able to catch up with.
"Haha, I guess you didn't expect for me to have a secret technique allowing me to increase the flying speed of my Nascent Soul! Hehe, in the future, I will be sure to return and pay you back for this humiliation today!"
A happy laughter echoed out from the Nascent Soul of the old ancestor as it flew away into the distance. Leaving Su Wuhan in the dust.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Boom!
Su Wuhan tried his best to prevent the escape of the Nascent Soul, but all his attempts were futile. Only resulting in him accidently hitting some of his own soldiers along with some of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Killing them the moment the attack hit, as there was no way for them to resist the attacks of someone in the Half-Step Domain Lord Realm.
"DAMN YOU!"
"HAHA, I will see you soon! HAHAHA!"
Screaming out angrily as the Nascent Soul slowly began disappearing into the distance, Su Wuhan could not help but lose control of his emotions for a split second.
He knew very well how much trouble the Nascent Soul of the old ancestor escaping would mean for his Azure Sky Kingdom in the future. Not to say that he might have wasted his time attacking the Heavenly Sky Kingdom if he could not find the thing that the old ancestor had hidden away…!
…
"Should we interfere and kill the ancestor? He will most likely come looking for revenge in the future, we did after all split off from his kingdom and take a large part of his territory along with it…"
Standing on top of the small hilltop only a few hundred meters away from the edge of the battlefield, Shu Yao turned around and asked Xuan Hao.
The scene of the Su Wuhan chasing the Nascent Soul was still playing out, as Shu Yao wanted to move out and deal with the ancestor before he managed to escape.
This way, they would be able to deal with a potential future threat and might even get some clue as to what the king of the Azure Sky Kingdom wanted so badly that he set out to destroy the Heavenly Sky Kingdom for it…
"No… Let him get away!"
Smiling to himself, Xuan Hao shook his head and stopped the eager Shu Yao from going over to help kill the Nascent Soul of the old ancestor.
"Why?"
Shu Yao could not understand why Xuan Hao did not want to deal with a potential future threat now that the chance presented itself.
"Because him staying alive is of great use to us! With him around, there is no way the Azure Sky Kingdom can rest easy, and they won't be able to pay much attention to us when we decide to expand our influence and territory in the future.
Other than that, I highly doubt that we are first on the list of revenge targets for the old ancestor… The first on his list in the future will definitely be the Azure Sky Kingdom!"
Saying this, Xuan Hao watched the Nascent Soul of the old ancestor disappear in the distance as the angry Su Wuhan soon returned to the battlefield before letting out his anger on the remaining soldiers of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.
Boom!
The poor soldiers only around the Qi Condensation Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm had no way to resist as they were quickly reduced to dust under the attacks of the angry Su Wuhan.
The remaining Nascent Soul Realm Experts of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom on the other hand, knew that there was no hope left for the kingdom after seeing the fall of their ancestor and had long since decided to run away. Taking with them a few of their trusted friends or family among the remaining soldiers before Su Wuhan returned to the battlefield.
"I think we should leave as well… Looks like Su Wuhan didn't even know the location of the thing that the ancestor was hiding… How disappointing…"
Shaking her head as she remembered the conversation between the two rulers she had overheard earlier, Shu Yao felt like she had wasted her time coming to watch the final battle of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.
"I guess… At least we were able to witness how strong the king of the Azure Sky Kingdom was!"
Noting the small positive information, they had gained from showing up, Xuan Hao and Shu Yao soon left the small hilltop and made their way back towards the Flying Sword Sect together. Flying there with the help of Xuan Hao's domain.
