Chapter 714: Golden Duke (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
This was because the retreat of the troops who had invaded the Azure Cloud Continent represented the failure of their partial war.
The Armored Trolls were not all fools.
Just like the Divine Judgment Hall back then, they had gathered a large number of members near the coastline to guard against the Divine Judgment Hall’s possible counterattack.
They were prepared to face a war, but only one person and one beast came from the Eastern Region.
Therefore, Jiang Li encountered so many powerful Trolls as soon as he arrived. He fell into an absolute disadvantage in numbers.
As expected of a powerful race that ruled an entire continent. Just the power that appeared in Jiang Li’s senses had already surpassed the total of the Divine Judgment Hall.
It was no wonder that the defensive battle through the black sea was so difficult in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region.
If Jiang Li did not discover the secret weapon, who knew how long that war would last?
Now, Jiang Li was slightly glad that he had brought the stitched monster over.
Otherwise, when faced with such a number of attacks, without openly using the power of chaos to restrain the Trolls, it was practically an invincible situation.
In a purely head-on battle, dealing with any expert at the level of the three divine pillars would be difficult.
Jiang Li was definitely not a match for these monsters.
However, he did not abandon the Earth Spirit Pearl and run.
Instead, he hid behind himself and used the Nine Nether escape technique, trying to continue infiltrating from underground.
With his current strength and cultivation, he should be qualified to explore one of the Nine Provinces that had raised humans for food for millions of years, the Prosperous Ox Continent.
On the one hand, he wanted to do something for the humans living on this land.
On the other hand, the Fire Cloud Cave ruin, which was the holy land of the three ancient emperors, was also here.
Now, Jiang Li had to take back the Human Emperor’s inheritance.
However, even with the stitched monster attracting firepower, it was definitely not easy to do this.
One of the Nine Provinces was thousands of times more dangerous than a tiger’s den.
“It’s indeed the aura of a human! This smell is definitely not inferior to the special high-grade Nourishment of the Grace House.”
“I didn’t expect that I would have such an opportunity today.”
Not long after he dived into the ground, a voice sounded from above.
Afraid that the spiritual qi fluctuation of the Nine Nether escape technique would be discovered by experts, Jiang Li could only stop all his actions and use the nameless fire to cover his body as he quietly lay dormant under the ground.
This way, he was not more conspicuous than any stone and should be able to dodge most probing methods.
“The Nourishment’s Earth Escape Technique? What an interesting ability.”
On the ground, a tall Troll that was about 30 feet tall and had a slender figure stood in the huge hole that Jiang Li had smashed out.
Not only was this Armored Troll extremely powerful, but there were also five horizontal patterns on his armor.
This meant that not only was he powerful, but he was also an Armored Troll with a noble bloodline!
He revealed powerful strength with every move, a monster on a completely different level from the previous Gallonron.
A long time ago, Jiang Li had sent his clone to return to the Prosperous Ox Continent with Gallonfran to prepare for him and obtain the necessary information.
Over the past few days, he had roughly learned about the Armored Trolls.
If one could see it with their own eyes, they would definitely recognize that this Grand Duke was called Anduin Gold.
Many Armored Trolls called him the dazzling Golden Duke.
His ability was definitely at the top among the many powerful Armored Troll nobles.
“There’s no need to hide like this anymore. Nothing can hide under the light of the sun!”
“Unstoppable Sun!”
As soon as he finished speaking, two balls of golden light flickered on the Golden Duke’s hands.
As the two hands gradually raised, the two balls of light became brighter and brighter. Finally, when they combined above his head, they turned into a sun that no one could look at directly.
It was not inferior to the sun in the sky.
Jiang Li, who was hiding underground and hiding in the earth vein, did not dare to move. He activated the power of the flames with all his might and hid. Suddenly, he saw a wisp of golden light that became brighter and brighter before his eyes.
He was clearly underground. There were a thousand feet of soil covering him and the power of the unknown fire. He should be able to absorb all the light that approached.
However, the light did not seem to be blocked by anything and still shone over.
Under the flickering golden light of the Golden Duke, the ground below was like a translucent crystal.
Be it rocks, roots, earth insects, mines, or everything that should have been hidden under the darkness of the soil, everything was clearly visible under the light.
With a glance, only one place in the transparent soil was enveloped by a pitch-black shadow. It looked especially obvious and stood out from the crowd.
“Found you!”
“I’ve been discovered!”
At the same time that the Golden Duke noticed Jiang Li, he also noticed this.
Jiang Li immediately activated the Nine Nether escape technique and dived deeper into the ground.
Facing an expert of that level, the thickness of the ground was as fragile as a piece of paper. It could not protect him at all.
Sure enough, in the next moment, a scorching pillar of light fell from the sky.
It directly pierced through the ground where Jiang Li was.
The thick soil evaporated under the pillar of light.
Only lava and the heavily burned Jiang Li were left in the cylindrical hole.
