Chapter 368: Chapter 79: The Fight of Disparity_1
Yan Shi now noticed that the handkerchief in his hand had already been soaked with sweat. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely wash it clean before returning it to you."
Zhuo Yun gave him a glance, floated upwards, and landed next to Xing Er. She recited an elf spell, speeding up the growth of the branches on the tree. Soon, the growing vines around where Xing Er was sleeping formed a small room. It had drafts coming from all directions, but from the outside, it was hard to tell there was someone inside. Zhuo Yun squeezed in, then stuck her head back out and said to Yan Shi, "Let us know when you’re leaving. I want to use the vitality and spiritual energy here to help the princess regain some of her strength. This way, her bloodline of the Elf King can last a bit longer." With that, she gave a charming smile and then disappeared back inside the treehouse. A faint green light skimmed through the trees briefly.
Yan Shi’s eyes were filled with Zhuo Yun’s last smile, and he seemed a little bewitched.
"Cough, cough..." Yan Li’s coughing snapped Yan Shi out of his trance. He said with a mischievous smile, "Brother, she’s already gone inside. What are you still looking at?"
A flush crept up onto Yan Shi’s face. He glared at Yan Li and attempted to hit his head, but Yan Li dodged it with a laugh. Yan Shi took a deep look at the treehouse hanging on the tree one more time before sitting down under the tree to catch his breath. Among all of them, Yan Li had used up the least amount of energy, so naturally, it was his turn to serve as the guard.
Three hours later, the dawn broke, and the fiery red sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon. Not far from where Ah Dai and the others were resting, five figures appeared out of thin air. Their appearance was completely silent. Four of them were dressed in golden robes, with a 3.6-foot longsword strapped to their backs. They seemed to be in their forties, expressionless, with a faint sacred aura emanating from them. They were the four Holy Judges dispatched by the Holy Church. In the middle of the four men, a plainly dressed old man in white robe stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Ah Dai and the others a few hundred meters away. Chief Judge Xuan Yuan was indistinguishable from an ordinary person, but his baby-soft skin marked him as something truly different. He had just rushed from the Holy Church to meet the four Holy Judges, having been practicing a unique skill until now. He had been anxious to leave as soon as his training was finished, very curious to see just how extraordinary this young man was that the Pope praised him so much.
Xuan Yuan’s gaze fell on the distant Ah Dai and he said, "So he is the one his Holiness the Pope was talking about?" Holy Judge Kaidi, who was standing next to him, nodded and said, "Indeed. We’ve been watching them until your arrival. They had just emerged from Sunset City. As we reported before, their mission was to rescue the elf held captive in the Sunset Empire. Surprisingly, Ah Dai summoned an ace from the Elf Clan and attacked the Palace of Sunset Empire overnight. More surprisingly, they emerged unscathed from the palace and rescued an elf. The summoned experts from the Elf Clan disappeared before long. I really wonder whether this child can actually perform the legendary summoning magic. Otherwise, how could he summon a giant dragon and elves successively. Just last night, they escaped from Sunset City. Ah Dai’s exhibited strength is already superior to mine. He single-handedly confronted dozens of top-notch experts from Sunset City for a full twenty minutes. It was when leaving that he was injured by an extremely potent fire magic. His fighting energy is quite peculiar; it can change form at will, and can transform into various shapes to attack the enemy, showing great power. When confronting those experts, it was by projecting two giant shields that he managed to withstand the numerous attacks and create an opportunity for his companions to escape."
"Fighting energy transformation?" Xuan Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He could perform fighting energy transformation too, but to do it at will was not that easy. He snorted and said, "I hope this kid doesn’t let me down." A chilling look flashed in his eyes as Xuan Yuan levitated and drifted weightlessly toward the resting place of Ah Dai and the others like a feather. The cold look in his eyes caused the four Holy Judges’ hearts to shiver. They had seen such a look four times before, and each time, all the enemies ended up dead at the hands of their Chief Judge.
Yan Li, who was sitting on the ground fiddling with his two battle axes, suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura descending from the sky. The immense pressure shook him profoundly. He jumped up from the ground and guarded his head and chest with his axes, cautiously directing his gaze toward the source of the dangerous aura. An indistinct figure floated slowly towards him. The figure seemed to move slowly, but in a flash, it was right in front of him. It was an old man with white hair and beard, but he looked like a man in his thirties. A faint cold smile painted on his ruddy face and the invisible pressure made Yan Li feel somewhat suffocated, and he involuntarily took a step back, demanding in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
