At that thought, Lord Kenny cast a purposeful look behind him. The sight that greeted him made his heart drop into his stomach. The spot that Yvette had taken up before was empty, and she was nowhere to be found.
'Crap, where is that master?'
All at once, desperation flooded Lord Kenny's senses.
Lord Kenny did not know that Yvette had not left. Instead, she had stayed hidden.
She wanted to make Lord Kenny panic and find the right time to attack.
"You're a lot stronger than I thought you would be."
Gonggong mocked Lord Kenny, looming over him. "You managed to dodge one of my blows. Not bad."
Gonggong raised her hands to summon a long blue sword just as she spoke.
The long blue sword was a purple rank weapon that had been unused in safekeeping in the North Moana Continent for a long time. According to legend, it was a gift that Emperor Hou Yi had made for Lady Chang Er. Yet Chang Er had not been very fond of the gift, and it had thus remained unused in inventory for a long time.
When she was made a Marshal, Gonggong had taken the long sword for herself.
As the long sword appeared, the surrounding temperature seemed to fall rapidly!
The ferocity from Gonggong's aura made Lord Kenny's face pale. He gulped as sweat beaded at his forehead.
Crap! Gonggong would use her ultimate skill, and he would not be able to hold up against it.
"Show me what you've got, Lord Kenny."
The words left Gonggong's lips as she waved her hands and forced a crack through the heavens. It was closely followed by a breathtaking ray that shot through all realms of being, charging in Lord Kenny's direction.
It was a sword spell, ultimately summoned with internal energy at almost a hundred meters long with astonishing power.
At the sight, all the 300,000 soldiers gasped. Many generals wished to rush forward to help, but the sword spell was summoned so quickly that none of them managed to do that.
F*ck! Would that blow kill him if he could not take it?
Amid Lord Kenny's horror, he scrambled to summon all his internal energy as he drew a long sword of his own to defend himself.
The blue sword spell struck heavily against the long sword in Lord Kenny's grasp, the former shattering the latter in a split second. Lord Kenny flew over a hundred meters backward with an agonized cry as he landed heavily on a clearing.
No, he could not just die like that at the Hazel Hen Gate. He had yet to take over the Nine Mainland; he could not just die like that.
"Honorable Master!"
As Gonggong drew closer, Lord Kenny cried out to his surroundings in desperation. "If you don't strike soon, I'm going to lose my life. Please, show yourself."
Lord Kenny was fearful and desperate as he shouted out; he was on the verge of tears.
Lord Kenny had grown pretty reckless during his reign as the New World Emperor, and he would never beg for someone's help that way in front of so many people. Yet, the situation before him was pretty dire, and there was no way he would get out alive if he did not do that.
Pride and reputation still came second to staying alive, after all.
Master?
At the honorific, Gonggong's brows furrowed. She smiled coldly. "Even the most powerful of gods won't be able to save you today."
Gonggong's features were ice-cold as she spoke, but she smirked to herself internally.
Lord Kenny was insane, thinking that someone would come to his aid at that point.
