Chapter 1324 Black-robed old man

Chapter 1324 Black-robed old man　　'Puchi'

Princess Daphne's turquoise sword broke Prince Diego's defence and pierced through his abdomen.

'Finally, I can be free.'

There was a slight smile on her face as she muttered these words in Diego's ear.

'What?'

Prince Diego looked at Princess Daphne with a shocked look in his eyes as he fell to the ground.

'How can I die here?'

This was the last thought in Prince Diego's head as he still didn't know why he didn't think of escaping from the secret realm while he still had the chance.

Actually, the thing is, there was a lot of time for Prince Diego to escape from the secret realm after he learned about Princess Daphne's special body constitution; however, something stopped him.

For a few moments, he was in shock that he was not even able to use any of his other skills or techniques to block Princess Daphne's turquoise sword.

….

Outside the secret realm,

'Sh..she killed him just like that? In a single move?'

'Her special body constitution must be very strong.'

'But, will she be okay after killing Prince Diego?'

'I mean, King Louie only has one son and now he is dead. So, I think King Louie will not let her go?'

'Hey, do you really think King Louie can do something about it? Princess Daphne didn't break any mistakes. It is Prince Diego's fault for not even escaping from the secret realm.'

'Yes. The protectors and other powerful cultivators will try their best in protecting her even if she breaks any rules because of her special body constitution.'

'Correct. Because of that, Princess Daphne's future is limitless and everyone would try to be in her good books.'

The scene of Princess Daphne killing Prince Diego caused a huge uproar among the onlookers; however, no one pitied Prince Diego and even supported Princess Daphne.

"This devil is cruel and evil. I will kill her."

However, King Louie, the father of Prince Diego was furious as he shouted out loud and summoned Princess Daphne out of the secret realm along with the corpse of his son.

'Swoosh'

King Louie knew that it would be difficult to kill Princess Daphne. So, he summoned her close to him, so that he could kill her before anyone could react.

'She might be a genius who unlocked a special body constitution; however, if she is going to die today for killing my son.'

With that thought in his mind, King Louie summoned a Legend grade sword in his hand and slashed at Princess Daphne's neck whose body was no longer glowing with turquoise light.

Without a doubt, Princess Daphne will die as long as the sword touches her; however, currently she is very weak and barely standing on her feet.

'No'

The three protectors were shocked by the sudden actions of King Louie and even if they moved faster, they could not reach Princess Daphne in time, which King Louie, obviously knows.

Because the secret realm is owned by King Louie himself, he could pull anyone out of the secret realm whenever he wanted.

Even though he regretted not pulling his son out when he saw Princess Daphne's special body constitution, King Louie didn't think that Princess Daphne would really kill his son and her future husband.

Nevertheless, he was not going to spare her and wanted to kill her before others stop him from doing that.

'Damn it..'

Among all the powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage, King Stephen was the one very frustrated right now.

Even though he never cared or bothered much about his daughter, finally she unlocked a special body constitution which he could use to his advantage to become the most powerful cultivator in the Purple stone world.

'Swoosh'

'Clang'

"Who are you calling evil?"

However, before King Louie's sword could reach Princess Daphne, a silhouette appeared in front of Princess Daphne as he stopped the incoming sword with his two fingers.

At the same time, he said a single line that made everyone standing on the huge stage feel a shiver in their spines.

"Who are you?"

King Louie's eyes turned completely red as he looked at the old man standing in front of him and asked in a serious tone.

King Louie knew that the old man in front of him was very strong because even the protectors were not able to react to what he was going to do to Princess Daphne; however, this old man appeared out of nowhere.

Moreover, he stopped his legend grade sword just with his fingers. So, King Louie could tell that he was very powerful. More powerful than anyone standing on the huge stage.

"Who am I? I will tell you that in a while; however, why don't you tell me what you are doing right now?"

The old man was wearing black robes and his face was covered by a mask that was even blocking the powerful cultivators to see through the face of the old man.

Another important thing was, no one was able to gauge the strength of the old man. So, no one made a move and waited for what that old man was planning to do.

'Who is he? He must be very powerful.'

'Since he is protecting Princess Daphne, he must be from the Draton family, right?'

'I don't think so. He must be someone who had taken interest in Princess Daphne because of her special body constitution.'

As for the onlookers, they had their own theories behind the origins of the old man that was protecting Princess Daphne.

"Sir, she killed my son in cold blood. I am just taking revenge."

King Louie was furious with how arrogant the old man was; however, he felt weak in front of the old man. So, he tried to defend himself and asked, "If you please move aside, the Flerton family will owe you a favour."

"Killed you son in cold blood? Revenge? My foot."

The old man scoffed at King Louie's words as he released the legend grade sword from his fingers.

'Swoosh'

The moment he released the sword, it completely turned into powder, making the other powerful cultivators greatly shocked.

"In the contest, killing is not breaking any rules. So, stop bullshitting as there is no need for you to use big words like revenge."

The old man walked closer to King Louie and lightly tapped on King Louie's chest, "For trying to kill the future of the human race, your punishment will be….your cultivation."

'Kacha'

As soon as the old man finished his words, there was a crisp sound from King Louie's chest.

"Noo"

All of a sudden, King Louie fell to his knees as he shouted out loud.

"Why…why…why… I am just trying to take my revenge."

Amidst the shocking gazes of everyone, King Louie started shouting like crazy and eventually, he became a lunatic.

"Th..this is…"

Everyone felt that the punishment King Louie received from the old man was very huge as they felt a bad premonition in his heart.

..

'This presence…this presence…this is definitely that bastard.'

As everyone stood in their places without saying anything, there was a voice in King Stephen's head that continuously shouted.

'What? Do you know him?'

King Stephen was also shocked and just when he was thinking of rushing towards his daughter to show how worried he was, he heard the continuous ranting of his master in his head.

'Let's talk after that bastard left. If he finds me here, he is going to kill you.'

However, the voice quickly suppressed its anxiousness and informed King Stephen that they should talk about the old man later.

Because the voice feared that the old man would sense the presence of the voice in King Stephen's head. So, the voice started being careful.

'Okay.'

King Stephen had never seen his master being so anxious before. Moreover, he didn't want to die without knowing how in the hands of the old man. So, he tried to calm himself as he rushed towards his daughter.

"Daphne, are you okay?"

Looking at the pale face of Princess Daphne, King Stephen worried asked while trying to support her body.

"You… move away from me."

Currently, Princess Daphne might be weak; however, she hated her father for all the things he did to her in the past. So, she tried her best to look strong and asked King Stephen to move away from her.

"It's me…your father."

King Stephen was embarrassed for a moment when he heard those words; however, he acted like Princess Daphne was under the side effects of using her special body constitution.

"It's enough. Move away from her."

This time, Princess Daphne didn't have the strength to shout at her father; however, the old man waved his hand, making King Stephen move away from Princess Daphne.

"I am her…"

"Don't talk. You have no right."

The old man scoffed at King Stephen before letting Daphne sit in a chair while he settled in one of the chairs belonging to the guardians of the Purple stone world.

'You…'

King Stephen was angry at the old man; however, when he thought about his master's words, he controlled his anger and tried to say something.

'I am sealing your mouth. Don't talk.'

Suddenly, his master's voice appeared for a brief moment before disappearing. After that, King Stephen was unable to talk even if he wanted to talk.

'Damn  it.'

Other than cursing, King Stephen stood in his place without doing anything.

"Master, can you please tell us your name?"

All of a sudden, Protector Erin asked the old man while guessing the origins of the old man.
