Chapter 1939 Not Very Optimistic
"Arrogant brat! I'll give you a ride to death if that's what you want!" The purple devil spirit was enraged, but it didn't take Rocky seriously. The next moment, as it waved its hand, countless black threads shot out in an instant and intertwined in midair, forming a huge black net that surrounded and enveloped Rocky.
Rocky knew that the power of the purple devil spirit was insanely strong, so he didn't dare to be careless. He instantly took out and used the God-killing Sword and cut through the black net before it fully trapped him
"What? That is the God-killing Sword! Why the hell do you have it? What is your relationship with Deacon?" The purple devil spirit immediately recognized the God-killing Sword at first sight. This made it even more furious, which just meant that it might have a deep grudge against Deacon.
All of a sudden, a purple black mist surged out from the back of the purple devil spirit. Like streams of shadows, it rushed towards Rocky.
At the same time, Rocky remained focused and didn't show any sign of weakness. He wielded the God-killing Sword firmly and released the fighting energy at the Mystery Stage to restrain the purple black mist.
However, without releasing all of his real strength, Rocky could not fight on par with the purple devil spirit. Hence, eventually, he was suppressed into a passive position.
Swoosh!
Before Rocky could dodge, he was stabbed by the purple black mist like a spear. This sent him flying until he hit the stone wall behind him.
Upon experiencing the impact, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Rocky's mouth.
"Damn. I didn't expect that even my divine body and the Magic Icy Armor couldn't resist the power of the devil spirit!" Rocky couldn't help but curse as the corner of his mouth twitched. It became apparent that the devil spirit was much stronger than he had anticipated.
Moreover, the purple devil spirit didn't intend to give Rocky a chance to catch his breath. The next moment, the purple black mist rushed over again, forcing Rocky to use his bodily movement skill to retreat. It was clear to him that the mist was quick and powerful, so he didn't even think of resisting it head-on. At this moment, he could only dodge and try his best to attract the attention of the purple devil spirit so that Vivian and Alex could successfully save the Spiritual Emperors that were trapped by the devil spirit.
Meanwhile, as Vivian and Alex saw that Rocky was doing a good job keeping the devil spirit busy, they walked to the side of the pool stealthily.
As soon as they arrived in front of Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors of the other major clans, Vivian released the power of the deity spirit to cut off the power that trapped them.
Once they were released, Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors fell to the floor, looking very weak. After all, most of their strength had already been absorbed by the purple devil spirit. Now, their overall strength was greatly reduced, and they didn't even have the power to help take the devil spirit down. All they could do right now was escape while they still could.
"You three?!" Ruth was so surprised upon realizing who had saved them. Vivian and Alex were indeed two of the three people who had entered the crystal palace before them. However, since their first meeting, they had never seen these three again until now.
"I'm the young master of the Wankong Clan. For now, we have to get you out of here,” Alex said resolutely.
"I see. You are the young master of the Wankong Clan..." Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors didn't expect that someone from the Wankong Clan would be so generous in risking their lives to save them. After all, they had been looking down on them for several years now. This undoubtedly was a slap in their faces, especially for the big shots who thought highly of themselves.
"Come on! Let's get out of here as soon as possible!" Vivian strongly urged, fully aware that time was not on their side.
Soon enough, Vivian and Alex assisted Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors in order to get away from the devil spirit.
However, the purple devil spirit finally found out that the people it trapped inside the crystal palace were trying to escape.
The purple devil spirit didn't expect that Rocky would have two other companions who sneakily helped the Spiritual Emperors. In its anger, it hurriedly blasted off another purple black mist to chase after Vivian and Alex.
Fortunately, Rocky had expected this, so he was able to stop the purple black mist before it reached the two ladies.
"What do you think you're doing? I am your opponent. I don't think you have the luxury to turn towards others. If you want to kill them, you will have to kill me first,” Rocky said in a mocking tone. "Ha! Where the hell are you getting your confidence? Do you really think that you can take me on if I get serious?" the purple devil spirit sneered at Rocky in disdain.
"Then, why don't you try?" Seeing that Vivian and Alex managed to save Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors, Rocky was a little relieved. Right now, his remaining duty was to buy more time until they successfully escaped from the crystal palace. It also meant that he had no choice but to use his real strength.
The next moment, Rocky activated all the holy power of Corey in his body. In a flash, his strength increased to the peak of the Shura Realm.
At the same time, the fighting energy at the Mystery Stage around his body also increased to the Divine Stage. Although it would only be temporary, this power would grant him the ability to fight against the purple devil spirit on equal footing.
In the blink of an eye, Rocky's figure turned into a shadow. The God-killing Sword in his hand led the way, slashing out several streams of fighting energy at the Divine Stage in rapid succession Then, they soared into the air and crossed each other before rushing towards the devil spirit. Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fighting energy at the Divine Stage made huge explosions around the purple devil spirit, making the area within a hundred meters completely filled with violent energy.
The purple devil spirit was quite taken aback, not expecting that Rocky's strength could increase to such a high level in a short time. In addition, he could also use the God-killing Sword. With the help of the sword, its power would be comparable to a divine skill. However, since Rocky was yet to reach the God Realm, he couldn't utilize the fullest potential of the God-killing Sword.
Therefore, the purple devil spirit wasn't too bothered by Rocky, thinking that it could still easily kill the young man. Then, with a wave of its hand, a black barrier suddenly appeared and blocked the entrance just as Vivian, Alex, and the others were about to rush out of the hall.
"Who said that anyone could leave? Wait for your turn and I will be sure to torture all of you thoroughly!" the purple devil spirit threatened, letting out a sinister laughter.
Now that the entrance had been blocked by an enchanted barrier, Rocky couldn't help but clench his fist. It seemed that he had underestimated what the purple devil spirit could do.
"Alex, summon the Ice Phoenix!" Rocky shouted as soon as he remembered Alex's Ice Wand. Hearing Rocky's voice, Alex waved the Ice Wand in her hand. Immediately after, the Ice Phoenix emerged out of nowhere, filling the entire place with its huge body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Due to the impact caused by the Ice Phoenix, the palace shook violently, and sand and stones fell. "Quick! Get on the Ice Phoenix, all of you," Vivian instructed Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors. Eventually, Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors were able to hop on the back of the Ice Phoenix.
"Alex, go and take them out of here now!" Vivian ordered sternly.
"What about you?" Alex asked with reluctance.
"Of course, I have to stay and help that guy deal with the devil spirit. Just go. You have more important things to do. We can handle this matter!" Vivian replied, convincing Alex to go as soon as possible.
Hearing that, Alex had no choice but to agree. After all, she also knew that she would just be more of a hindrance if she insisted on staying. Hence, she also boarded the Ice Phoenix.
The next moment, the Ice Phoenix soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
"Even though you can seal the entrance, I don't think you can stop the ability of that beast spirit. Don't forget that this place is still its territory,” Rocky remarked, taunting the devil spirit.
"Damn it! You're really getting in my nerves, brat! I'll make sure to let you pay a huge price!" The purple devil spirit was caught off guard, not expecting that Alex possessed the Ice Wand that could summon a beast spirit. Moreover, the master of the beast spirit was the deity who had sealed it in the crystal palace, so the Ice Phoenix could freely enter and leave anywhere in this palace whenever it wanted.
In a fit of rage, the figure of the purple devil spirit suddenly grew bigger and bigger.
Soon enough, the whole hall was filled with the frightening evil aura from the devil spirit. The situation instantly got worse, and an overbearing pressure gathered from all directions, surrounding Rocky.
Seeing this, Rocky became serious. He knew that once the purple devil spirit became serious, he would definitely not be a match for it. Right now, his power had already been raised to the limit. Hence, if he continued to fight against the devil spirit like this, he understood that it would be very unfavorable for him.
