Chapter 697: What does this number mean?

Shadowslash expression changes, he knew that if nothing happens the lizardman would definitely die, knowing that he had to make a move, he charged towards the worm and slash out.

Sparks flew as his claw hit the carapace ofp the One Hundred Poison Worm, the worm let's out a loud shriek and retaliate but it's attack miss.

The lizardman was shocked, he had never thought someone would rescue, what's more the person who had rescued him was actually the weakest one of their group.

Shadowslash quickly shouted "What the hell are you doing dazing around for! You go behind it and let's attack it together, I'll be the vanguard."

The lizardman quickly reacted and circle around the One Hundred Poison Worm, the people above still continue to dish out their attacks pissing off the lizardman.

The worm looks at Shadowslash and sensed the aura of the Sky Piercing Tree on him and immediately started drooling, without hesitation it charged at him.

Shadowslash have already developed his powerful combat sense and the attacks of the worm misses but his own attack serve no effect against the tough armor of the worm.

The lizardman helps him up, as a warrior he doesn't want to leave his benefactor behind so he could only do his best to deal some great blows at their enemy.

Shadowslash knew that even though the worm have reached Saint Realm, it still haven't truly reached the true strength of the realm, he had realised this when he saw what kind of strength the Saints have use.

He is actually disappointed because from his perspective, the gray knight which was only Peak Xiantian Emperor Realm were much stronger than them in terms of battle strength.

But upon thinking about it, he realised that he had been underestimating himself, after experiencing the battle against the gray knight he started to see Saints as invincible against those that have lower cultivation than them.

Now that he learns that only True Saints are considered invincible against lower cultivation realm, his confidence immediately rose and he quickly told Hentai to have his clone bring his real body on the battlefield.

'It seems that new Saints aren't that strong, but this should only apply to regular genius, if I ever meet a Saint that has a combat strength of that gray knight all I could do is retreat.' 

He thought as he watch how clumsy the worm fights, even though the worm continue to get stronger and more efficient at fighting as time passes by, the difference between the two is truly too far apart.

The lizardman couldn't help but marvel at how great Shadowslash at fighting in close combat, he would be able to dodge every blow thrown at him with ease.

What the lizardman doesn't known is that if the worm truly hits him, then his clone wouldn't be able to bear and would disappear.

That is why even though for others it looks like he was dodging the attacks with ease, he was actually extremely focused, he no longer have any thoughts of attacks knowing that he wouldn't be able to harm the worm in the slightest with just his clone.

He leave all the attacks to the lizardman and the raining attacks from the other Saints, explosion could be heard ringing throughout the area where they are fighting.

If this kind of fight happens back on Shadowslash's second world, then at least an island would sink, fortunately for this world it's law is complete.

Not only it's law is complete but it is also connected with an higher plane via a void class tree, the world's chosen one is also improving steadily making the strength of the world to continue to increase.

The lizardman continue its assault to the worm, he wasn't holding back the least as each powerful blow would cause a deafening noise.

But because the worm is focused on Shadowslash, it could only take the attack head on, making it extremely furious, if it tries to retaliate, Shadowslash would take this chance to attack it's spirit, which is much more painful compared to the blows that the lizardman gave him.

The lizardman was extremely excited because he now realised that he could dish out attack after attack without any fear that the worm would target him.

The only thing that pisses him off is that he needs to look out for the attacks that came from his group.

The battle continue to rage on, the worm tries its best to hit Shadowslash but it was totally outmatched in close combat, it tried to get some distance between the two but it's opponent wouldn't let it go.

The gas in the surrounding suddenly starts to flare up, Shadowslash who was doing his best, realised that he was caught in a trap and he saw the worm opening it's mouth and trying to bite him.

Boom! The worm took a dragon breath on his mouth, it was already furious but with the additional pain, it no longer thought of eating Shadowslash.

It wanted to rip him into shreds, without any hesitation it lunges towards it's target but before it could reach its target it was thrown to the side by a powerful force.

The lizardman then grabs Shadowslash and ran away, it also felt the powerful constricting force that came from the gas.

Shadowslash was quite surprised to see that the lizardman dares to actually save him, he thought that all the Saints were cowards but if seems that they are just cautious.

The worm stood up once again and chase after them, Shadowslash saw this and he quickly said "Bring me down and escape! Do not worry this isn't my main body."

While the lizardman was startled he felt he was pushed backward and he then saw Shadowslash becoming bigger and lunging himself towards the One Hundred Poison Worm.

The lizardman could only agree to his plan and flew back towards the direction of his group, his presence startled the other Saints.

They thought that he was still fighting against the worm, looking at the other Saints in resentment the lizardman then flew towards the direction of the Mortal City.

The other Saints who were still stunned immediately became furious, they started condemning the lizardman, while some threatens him about the curse of the Mortal City.

But the lizardman turned a deaf ear to them, he was anxious to find if what Shadowslash told him was true.

He then saw 9 approaching dragons, on one of the dragon head was the person he was searching for, upon seeing the appearance of the man riding the dragon the lizardman heaved a sigh of relief.

Shadowslash finally opens his eyes, the last scene he saw when he was controlling his clone's body was the worm ripping his body into halves.

He then saw a person standing in front of him, he smiles lightly and commanded his clones to stop, their aura was in full display making the Saints a bit curious.

The lizardman doesn't know why but he felt inferior towards the present Shadowslash, just as he was daze on what to say he saw him patting the head of the dragon that he was riding on.

It seems that he was indicating that he could sit right next to him, without any hesitation the lizardman sat next to him and they returned back to the battlefield.

The other Saints were still looking at the dragons with curiosity, especially those that were keen at dragon bloodline, they realized that the bloodline of these dragons are extremely pure.

Shadowslash then looks at the colorful gas down below, he still sat at the head of the dragon looking quite aloof, his presence and appearance pisses some of the Saints off.

A bear beastman approached him, just as he was about to insult him, the lizardman stood up and looks at the bear with hostility, if he ever say something about Shadowslash then he wouldn't hesitate to fight it out.

The bear saw the expression of the lizardman and his rising battle intent, knowing that this wasn't the time to fight amongst themselves, he could only snort and return to his previous spot.

The others saw their interaction and decided not to cause trouble to Shadowslash, those that were perceptive became confused as to why a Saint felt extremely protective against someone not from his tribe.

Shadowslash opens his eyes finally and said "It had finished it's metamorphosis, Venerable I suggest for you to brace for impact."

The nine dragons quickly encircles the two, the lizardman knew that he wasn't bluffing so he quickly follows his advice and braces for impact.

He then looks at the handsome young man next to him and said "You don't need to call me venerable, You can call me by me name."

"Edgar."

Just as his words ended, the colorful gas in the surrounding started converging towards one specific direction.

Boom! A powerful blast of energy occured just below them, the impact made some of the weaker Saints to be pushed backward.
