Chapter 753: Chapter 609: Bloodline Chapter 753: Chapter 609: Bloodline Ran’ei Divine Master, his true identity should be the teacher of Sword Master Cold Crow, of course, that’s another name, Tengu Divine Master.
According to Sword Master Cold Crow, the exceptionally talented Tengu Divine Master had altogether cultivated the six major branches of the Tengu Shrine at that time.
If he had been given more time, he might have been able to complete the cultivation of all eight major branches, thereby elevating his strength to a peak never before reached by anyone.
However, it’s a pity that because of the decisive break with Sword Master Cold Crow, the aged Tengu Divine Master was killed, but he must have been prepared for this long ago.
Although his physical body was destroyed, he continued to exist in another form.
And Ran’ei Divine Master can be regarded as a fraction of Tengu Divine Master’s many memories and strength, though not complete, and his strength cannot be considered top-notch.
But because of the Tengu Divine Master, his status was still very special.
Given the combat prowess Sword Master Cold Crow showed when facing Fucanglong, he could have easily killed Ran’ei Divine Master.
However, the last time he was pursued by Roger, he did not do so.
It is very likely that killing Ran’ei Divine Master would not solve the substantive issue, but might reveal his own state instead.
As for Ran’ei Divine Master, on the verge of success, naturally, he did not want to confront Sword Master Cold Crow prematurely, which allowed the two to maintain a special balance.
Roger’s first encounter with Ran’ei Divine Master resulted in the latter’s oversight, with space energy affecting him and consequently suffering a disadvantage.
The second time, Yatagarasu Kensumi appeared in time to bring Roger back to Hankawa.
And now this was their third meeting.
Ran’ei Divine Master was still the same deity, with no change in strength.
But in just a short period, Roger had explosively enhanced his own abilities, and now, due to the nature of killing, the energy within him had been forcefully accumulated to the level of a Sword Master.
At least on the level of energy, he was already on the same plane as Ran’ei Divine Master.
Self-preservation was definitely not an issue, and if he cooperated with the Elder of Shadows, they might well have a chance to severely injure an unprepared Ran’ei Divine Master.
Or even cut him down directly!
“If I were you, I wouldn’t leave the Tengu Shrine until the plan was complete,”
“You think you can hurt me?”
The black vortex slowly grew larger, and as it expanded, the energy of the space began to seep out. Before long, Ran’ei Divine Master could tear through the space to appear before Roger.
“Last time you were lucky, but this time, I’ll see where you can run.”
The first time could be counted as a mistake, the second time had some coincidences, but if Ran’ei Divine Master still failed to kill Roger this time, his reputation as a Divine Master would be somewhat affected.
And Roger’s fame would skyrocket.
“Even if you run to Hankawa, even if Shuntsuki will take action for you again, I will still kill you before that happens!”
Ran’ei Divine Master spoke calmly, his voice firm with unquestionable power.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.”
“I’m right here, waiting for you!”
Hearing Roger’s words, Yatagarasu Kensumi, who had been about to speak, swallowed his words reluctantly, his expression changing, but he did not intend to leave, instead moving a few steps closer.
The shrine at the top of the mountain was a ruin, with Roger standing high atop the shrine’s structure, where he trod lay destruction from his own doing, indeed a potent sight to inspire awe.
Although he was not sure whether he could seriously injure Ran’ei Divine Master, teaching him a lesson would still be satisfying.
But at that moment, Roger’s expression changed slightly, in the midst of his triumph.
In a place invisible to others, the notice board gave a new prompt.
“A temporary visitor is preparing to leave, and once the visitor is completely outside the area covered by Hunter’s Cabin, the corresponding enhancement ability will expire after a certain period of time.”
After reading the notice board several times, Roger had to accept this reality, albeit reluctantly.
Glory lasted but three seconds.
His rapport with Higurashi Gushan was far from the standard, and once Higurashi Gushan left the area covered by Hunter’s Cabin, he would be reduced to his original form.
Although his strength remained at its peak, contemplating a head-on clash with a deity-level enemy without any chance of winning was futile.
Even if he could control the body of the Elder of Shadows to fight, the huge disparity between his own strength and that of a deity level, though manageable for a time,
ultimately would exhaust the power of the shadows, and Roger would have no choice but to flee.
If that were the case, the fight would be meaningless, only serving to recklessly reveal his trump card.
“To just slink away ?”
A thought flashed through his mind but was quickly dismissed by Roger.
“No, Higurashi Gushan will soon leave the area covered by Hunter’s Cabin, and the corresponding enhancement ability will expire along with it, including the boost from the Asura power gained through killing.”
“But before that, there’s still a buffer time for me to adapt to this change. Although the time is insufficient, if I seize the opportunity…”
“That would be enough!”
With that thought in mind, Roger’s spirit stirred, and without retreating, he launched the first attack.
The Asura force surged, and that familiar sensation emerged once again. The energy within him was activated, his spirit, body, Bloodline Spirit Force, and even the essence within the Sword of Destiny.
Executing his swordsmanship for the second time, Roger had a deeper understanding and was quicker to act.
Although Ran’ei Divine Master hadn’t arrived yet, as soon as Roger made his move, he sensed the fluctuation of spiritual power in the air, and a voice, slightly contemptuous, came through.
