Peerless Genius System

Chapter 704: A bustling night

A honeymoon trip?

That was precisely what they planned. If not for what happened tonight, they would be on their way to the Maldives for their honeymoon after they visiting Xiao Luo’s parents in his hometown. However, all their wonderful plans were now down the drain. To make matters worse, she did not even know if they would ever see each other again.

When she thought of that, Su Li could not help crying sadly.

“It is time to go!”

Su Li heard Ming’s icy voice came through the heavy rain.

Su Li’s body trembled as she heard Ming’s words. She held him and said, “Listen, Xiao Luo, don’t you dare die, you must recover!”

When she finished speaking, she wiped the tears off her face and returned to her usual demeanor.

Ming unsheathed his sword again and slashed at the sky vertically, creating a pitch-black crack that opened a passage into the void. He then reached out to pry open the crack further. It looked as if he was drawing curtains apart.

It shocked King Kong and the police officers who were watching from afar. How could he tear a passage into the void? What kind of magic was he using? It seemed like they were going to pass through that crack. Could it be that there was a dimension that could sustain human life on the other side of the crack?

“Holy Highness, please follow me.”

Curisa had sheathed his sword and led the way. He was very respectful as he wanted to lessen her hostility toward him and project a better impression of himself. He stepped into the pitch-black crack.

Su Li turned to take one last look at Xiao Luo and gazed at him affectionately. She closed her eyes as she could not bear to see him in the state that he was in. Then she turned to step into the other side of that crack.

“No!”

Xiao Luo broke down when he realized how deeply in love with Su Li he was. Taking her away would mean taking the world away from him. He stared at Ming with his blood-shot eyes, gritted his teeth, and uttered, “One day, I will come to the land of the Light Clan and take every single life of the Light Clan... all of you!”

He roared like a beast, and his killing intent heightened, raging like a tornado.

Ming looked at him calmly and replied, “I will be waiting.”

When he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the void crack.

“Urghh!”

Knowing he had lost Su Li, Xiao Luo vomited more blood and finally fainted.

“Oh, no... we are late!”

Suddenly, an elderly voice spoke out and sighed. Nobody could locate where that voice had come from. It seemed like it was coming from all corners of the park.

In the next second, a sprightly old man flew in from some dozen meters away. He clasped both his hands behind his back and the rain did not seem to touch him. There was an invisible force field that had shielded him from the rain as he moved gracefully toward Xiao Luo.

If Xiao Luo had been conscious, he would have recognized that that elderly man was the temple caretaker, Xiao Quanren. He was the one who prepared the holy water at the Seekong altar!

Xiao Quanren glanced at the severe wounds on Xiao Luo and frowned deeply. “My poor Xiao Luo,” he said. Then he stared at Ming intensely and growled, “King of Swords, you are also someone who has lived a few centuries. Why are you bullying a mere child? If you are so capable, come at me!”

Lived for a few centuries?

That man in the white robes had lived for a few centuries?

King Kong widened his eyes as he could not believe what he had just heard.

“Do you know me?” Ming asked with surprise as he looked at Xiao Quanren.

“Of course I do. When I was still a child a hundred years ago, I had seen you once in the Arcana land,” Xiao Quanren answered.

Ming replied calmly, “Oh? Is that so? You do not age well then. It has only been a hundred years and your body has decayed to such a sorry state.”

Making that statement, Ming felt superior as he had kept his youthful looks, unlike Xiao Quanren who appeared old and wrinkled. It was the unique feature of the Light Clan, which made him extremely proud.

“How could folk like us compare to the people of the Light Clan? We would not have left the Arcana land in the first place if we were like you,” Xiao Quanren said.

Ming did not answer him. He merely stared at Xiao Quanren quietly.

“It is surely an eventful night. May I join the fun? Haha, haha...”

Another elderly voice came out from nowhere. It was a heavenly sound coming from above that filled the sky and the earth. It was a commanding voice that exuded supreme authority.

A thin, old man with a hunch descended from the night sky.

“The guardian of this world. You are finally here!” Ming said, feeling slightly concerned. But he promptly regained his calm.

This old man surprised King Kong, for he was none other than the elderly man who sometimes cleaned the canteen at the NSA headquarters. He was a man that even the two chiefs did not dare to mess with.

Xiao Quanren saw the old man and respectfully bowed to him. He greeted, “Master Long!”

He did not know the old man’s name but only knew that his surname was Long. He was not sure how old Master Long was. All he knew was that when the leader of the Xiao Clan brought the clansmen to this world from the Arcana land, he was already there.

“You don’t have to be so courteous.”

The old man raised his hand, then stared at Ming with his murky eyes. “If I am not wrong, you’re one of the four kings of the Light Clan, the King of Swords. Are you going to turn back on our agreement? How dare you come to stir up such trouble during my watch!”

“I simply came to fetch the Holy Highness of the Light Clan,” Ming replied calmly.

“I don’t care about your excuses. That you have stepped into this world has already betrayed the agreement we have with the Light Clan. That’s it. You can leave only after defeating me. If not, stay here forever with her!” The old man changed his reserved nature to a more forceful personality. He was ready to fight.

Ming stared at him calmly and said, “As you wish!”

“Fine, come!”

The old man looked very stern and serious.

Before he finished speaking, the duel between the two was underway. The old man emanated a powerful aura, and his tremendous power was sending rippling waves of energy across the wetland park. At that moment, his body looked like an imposing giant who reached the skies. He had an awe-inspiring presence.

Facing him, Ming appeared ethereal as the space between the two opponents turned into a storm of raging energy, causing thunder to rumble in the sky.

Suddenly, they both levitated and soared through the pitch-black sky.

The two men had ascended thousands of meters up into the sky. Nobody could see them anymore. Flashes of lightning and relentless thunderclaps filled the night sky. Then the rain abated briefly, before pouring again intermittently. There would be a momentary heavy downpour, then it would stop briefly, before pouring heavily again. Every time the rain stopped, there would be thunderous sounds of explosions in the sky above.

The police officers were dumbfounded and could only watch in a stupor.King Kong was astounded and his understanding of the world completely changed as he witnessed the battle.
