The three ancestors' expression of the Endless River changed. They didn't expect to hear such arrogant words from this unknown young man.
If they defeated him, they already have the right to fight against the Rou Celestial Family?
If it would be another person saying this, they would immediately spat out their disagreements and disgust towards the person.
However, to Jin Rou, they couldn't do so. Because they could feel an intimidating killing intent coming from him.
This type of intent was something that only those who killed people without batting an eye could have. The three ancestors knew this very well. After all, they served Riverwood True God and fought under her banner for countless of years. Thus, their experiences were vast and couldn't be estimated.
They studied Jin Rou carefully. They didn't bother to give a response because of the situation. They just stood there, trying to break the laws that covered Jin Rou to get some clues of his identity.
"You can't see through me." Jin Rou knew what they were trying to do, "Unless I let you, you can't see through my abyss."
Abyss? Fli thought and pondered about this word. Did it mean that his power ran very deep that he called it abyss?
"This is getting nowhere." Gli spoke in annoyance. She was the most impatient one of all three ancestors of the river. Then, she lifted her hand upward and a giant sun appeared, "Just die."
"Whoosh!" And, she threw it towards Jin Rou. The sun was burning the void as it tried to separate the time and space.
The sun that was about to rise had lost its shine and was covered by clouds. It felt like the rising sun was the actual power that Gli created.
The weight of the burning sun was millions of worlds combined, and not even immortal progenitors would dare to confront this head on. In fact, even top level true gods might hesitate to do so.
Jin Rou smiled and pointed his finger towards the incoming sun. He could feel the hot sensation at the tip of his finger.
"Buzz!" Then, blue lightning coiled around Jin Rou's arms and buzzed. Soon, it created lightning-like fluctuations around the vicinity of Jin Rou, defying the gravity.
"Boom!" After that, a wave of lightning shot towards the burning sun, coming from the palm of Jin Rou.
"Zzzz!" The lightning wave directly hit the burning sun and created a violent shockwave all over the place. The whole plateau shook tremendously as if it would adhere submission.
Soon, the burning sun was slowly being melted by the lightning wave like an ice meeting fire. After a few seconds, the burning sun that could threaten the world soon disappeared, leaving only its warm temperature with the wind being thrown in all directions.
"..." Gli was stupefied. She didn't expect that the sun she created would be easily rendered helpless like this. Take note, she used 30% of her actual qi to do this.
"It was a good system, but not yet enough to reach the apex." Jin Rou commented on the attack, "A good attack, all in all. But still useless in front of me."
"Who really are you?" Fli was getting goosebumps by how Jin Rou acted. By how Jin Rou casually created an attack to cancel Gli's sun, she already knew that they met a real and strong opponent.
After all, that Sun of Burning Land was one of their best attack systems they could offer. And though it wasn't the strongest, it was still treasured and revered by their river.
"I told you already that I'm just a passerby." Jin Rou sighed and answered the question, "It's up to you whether your believe it or not."
Jin Rou was telling the truth. After all, he was not really from this world and just passing by to get an item for his family. It wasn't that he's lying at all, because his words were still making sense. At least, for him.
"A mere passerby having this kind of power?" Fli laughed a bit because of the enemy's answer, "It might be true that you're a passerby, but I refused to believe that it's just that. I know there is more to it."
"Whether there is more to it or nothing, I don't think I am required to answer it." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulder helplessly, "After all, you three are going to die here. There's no exception. So learning anything will not make any difference."
What Jin Rou was trying to say was there's no point knowing something when you know you're going to die. Since you couldn't carry your memories in another life, you just needed to shut up and accept your death.
Fli wanted to retort this. But Gli, who was shocked to her core a while ago, suddenly spoke, "I refused to believe that you can do that!"
"...?" Fli's heart jumped from fright when she heard this.
Gli's immaturity was kicking off. She was the youngest and spoiled woman under Riverwood and in fact, the most talented one of them three. She was arrogant and acted like a child more often than not. Since birth, she hadn't experienced this type of things wherein her one of the prided systems would be nullified helplessly.
It was a kick to her heart. And she couldn't take it. She needed to take back the confidence she had in order to calm herself. Or else, it would born a demon in her heart, a shadow that she wouldn't be able to overcome in the next few years.
"Buzz!" However, just when Fli was about to calm Gli down, a spear made of lightning came past her. The spear's speed was faster than her reaction.
Gli wanted to defend from this, since she was the target of this attack. However, her reactions were slower than Fli and couldn't do anything at all.
"Activate!" Shu, who was silent all this time, activated all her defensive treasures and surrounded Gli with protection. This happened in just a matter of split second.
However, it was still useless.
