Carson Flores summoned his Flying Sword, catching himself as he fell through the air, and at the same time, turned his attention to his attacker.
The attacker was a middle-aged man with a stern face, wearing an outdated Taoist robe, his hair tied in a topknot, his gaze coldly locked on Carson Flores.
Carson Flores shouted, "I don’t know you, sir, have you mistaken me for someone else?"
No matter who the other party was, Carson Flores first threw out a sentence, so as long as the other person answered him, he would have a chance to catch his breath.
The middle-aged Taoist coldly replied, "I am Tobias Singleton, and I kill as I please. You don’t know me, which is normal, because I also do not know you."
Carson Flores was both surprised and furious, "If we do not know each other, with no grudge or grievance, why would you attempt to kill me?"
Tobias Singleton coldly answered, "I’ve been tight on money recently."
Carson Flores was shocked.
Damn, is this a robbery?
Am I really that unlucky?
"We’re not far from Kahdas, aren’t you afraid of provoking them?"
Tobias Singleton sneered, "If the man is dead, who will know?"
Carson Flores glanced at the Silver Flood Dragon Scissors floating in mid-air and felt his heart sink. This guy must be incredibly strong; the Flying Boat is a specially refined flying Magic Artifact, shielded by an Aura Barrier and made of a special metal, very hard and strong. Yet it was cut clean in half by the attacker’s scissors, demonstrating their terrifying destructive power.
At least Divinity Transformation Stage.
Carson Flores tried to negotiate, "I am only at the Golden Core Realm, and I don’t have many Spirit Stones either. How about I give you all my Spirit Stones and valuables, and you let me go, how about that?"
Tobias Singleton chuckled coldly, "When you die, they will be mine all the same."
Upon hearing this, Carson Flores knew that there was no room for negotiation.
"I have magical treasures on my body, and if you kill me, my master will see what I saw before dying, and your identity will still be exposed..."
Tobias Singleton was unconcerned, "So what if they know? To kill me, they at least need to catch me first. I fear neither heaven nor Cultivators."
Suddenly, Carson Flores’s face lit up with joy as he turned his gaze towards the distance, "Someone is coming."
Tobias Singleton was startled and instinctively turned his head, but Carson Flores seized this opportunity to dive towards the ground with his sword.
As a Golden Core Realm cultivator, fighting against a Divinity Transformation Stage expert in the air was asking for death.
The only thing on him that could possibly restrain a Divinity Transformation Stage expert was the Emperor Seal, but he could not control the Emperor Seal. The Seal was so small; if they didn’t strike at it, wouldn’t it be useless?
Moreover, knowing the importance of that item, he dared not casually reveal it; otherwise, it would be like throwing meat buns to a dog – gone without a return.
He would not risk using the Emperor Seal unless it was a life-and-death situation.
His only hope now was the newly-comprehended Ground Shrinking Technique.
Tobias Singleton turned back and his face went two shades colder; he had been tricked by this insignificant ant before him.
Tobias Singleton waved his hand and the Silve Flood Dragon Scissors in the air transformed into two streaks of silver light, chasing after Carson Flores.
Carson Flores threw out his Black Tortoise Shield, summoned the Three Provinces Sword, and with a final pat on the Dragon Turtle Pendant at his chest, a glow appeared, and the figure of a dragon turtle, visible yet hidden, crouched protectively over him.
The silver light descended.
The Black Tortoise Shield felt an immense pressure and immediately stacked its three layers, yet it only held for less than half a second before being torn apart by the silver light, as smoothly as a hot knife slicing through solid butter.
The silver light continued its descent.
The figure of the dragon turtle dimmed instantly, then shattered.
The Aura Barrier, which could withstand the full-force hit of a Nascent Soul Stage, appeared incredibly fragile under Tobias Singleton’s Silver Flood Dragon Scissors, hardly withstanding a single blow. Yet after being obstructed twice, the silver light significantly faded, still bearing the momentum of a flood dragon and slashing at Carson Flores.
The Three Provinces Sword rose.
The sword light was as white as snow, the Sword Qi crisscrossing.
All sixty-four Sword Bones awakened at once, like sixty-four bone swords, ejecting an incredibly fine yet incredibly sharp stream of Sword Qi towards the silver light that pounced on them.
In the blink of an eye, the Three Provinces Sword collided with the silver light countless times, and with each collision, Carson Flores felt as if a giant wielding a massive hammer had struck him mightily.
Blood overflowed from the corners of Carson Flores’s mouth, and his skin cracked from the severe impact, blood splattering everywhere. With each collision, Carson Flores was forced to plummet dozens of meters towards the ground.
Ignoring everything, Carson Flores held the Three-foot Sword Veil firmly in place, constantly nearing the ground.
The attack of the Silver Flood Dragon Scissors gradually exhausted its momentum and floated upwards.
For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in Tobias Singleton’s eyes. "Sword Bone Body, Three-foot Sword Veil, you actually blocked my hit. Interesting, but unfortunately, you still have to die today."
As Tobias Singleton spoke, he pointed a finger, and a spell filled with abundant Spiritual Energy landed on the Silver Flood Dragon Scissors. The already dimmed Silver Flood Dragon Scissors once again blazed with light, circling in the air before diving at Carson Flores again, its might even stronger than the first time.
Tobias Singleton was serious now.
At the same time, Carson Flores finally reached the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his complexion pale as death.
A casual strike from Tobias Singleton had nearly taken Carson Flores’s life.
The Silver Flood Dragon Scissors descended again.
The image of the dragon turtle reappeared around Carson Flores, and then he channeled Spiritual Energy, madly gathering it into his right foot.
