Chapter 1030 - Dark Tower



Chapter 1030: Dark Tower

“Stop!” A roar burst out of the cockpit along with its door exploding, right when the old man was about to use his ultimate skills. The innocent-looking young pilot had put on a mask that had a smiling face. Loulan Lin was fighting him, but she was being suppressed by his small world and was losing.

“I’ll kill her if you don’t stop!”

“Don’t bother me! I can still endure!” cried Loulan Lin.

She didn’t expect the pilot to be so horrifying. She was a Star Lord who was listed among the top thirty on the Divine Lord Rank, yet she was being suppressed!

In the boundless territory of the Golden Star Zone, only thirty or so Star Lords were stronger than her, and the pilot was one of them!

“Can you endure? You would be dead already if I wanted to kill you!” said the masked young man with a cold tone. He increased the pressure, and his small world was squishing Loulan Lin.

“Don’t bother me!” Loulan Lin shouted. Special secret patterns appeared on her body; it was the secret technique of the Loulans that could provide a temporary strengthening; she didn’t want Su Ping to be distracted by her.

“You’re asking to be killed!”

The masked young man’s eyes were even colder.

“The way I see it, YOU are asking to be killed.” Su Ping’s calm voice was heard up close. It was quite chilling.

A person swooshed from Su Ping’s back; it was the copy created by the Prime Sky Mirror. Although the copy couldn’t compare to himself, it had still inherited half of his strength!

That was the power of an artifact.

“Damn it!”

The masked young man stopped hesitating. Since Su Ping didn’t care about the safety of the Loulan’s scioness, he planned to kill Loulan Lin and then finish Su Ping off along with the old man.

He hadn’t really believed that Su Ping would be threatened with Loulan Lin’s wellbeing. After all, Su Ping was an unparalleled genius in the universe; it was highly unlikely that he cared about anyone else.

That was why they had found all the information about Su Ping, including his hometown and parents, but didn’t dare to capture them to threaten him.

They were afraid that he would be alerted before they could threaten him!

“Huh?”

Hardly had the masked young man attacked when he realized that Loulan Lin, whom he had been suppressing, was gone. His attention had been solely focused on Su Ping. He then discovered that she had reappeared next to Su Ping.

“How did you…?”

The masked young man had yet to figure out what was going on when he saw Su Ping’s clone charging at him. He hurriedly resisted the attack.

“I…”

Loulan Lin was stunned too; she looked at Su Ping in a trance. Soon, she realized that it was the law of time; he had used the law of time without anyone else realizing it.

Had he paused the time, or reversed it?

Or did he use another approach?

Loulan Lin wasn’t sure, but she did realize that Su Ping was very strong, to have rescued her from the horrifying masked young man without making a sound. She even thought that he was as capable as the top three warriors of the Divine Lord Rank!

Bang!

The old man next to Su Ping suddenly took action, seeing that Su Ping was distracted by the masked young man. An unpredictable dagger appeared in his hand; the weapon was of a pure black color, covered in dense scales. The aged assassing made a stabbing motion, sending it into a deeper space and activating a secret curse technique he knew.

He was going to kill Su Ping with the mysterious curse power he had acquired from an ancient corpse!

He would succeed as long as he could stab Su Ping’s body!

Ding!

The next moment, an unexpected noise burst out. A purple shield surfaced on Su Ping’s body, blocking the dagger; it was one of his master’s gifts, which could resist the attack of the strongest Star Lord. Back then, Su Ping hadn’t yet reached the Star State and Star Lords were major threats to him. The treasure had remained unused until that moment.

“Die!!”

The old man’s eyes were almost popping out. He had to seize the opportunity! He could not fail!

The dagger penetrated the shield as he exerted his strength, finally stabbing Su Ping. But, it seemed to have hit a hard item.

The old man was stunned. Then, he saw a red feather surfacing from the place his dagger had made contact.

A feather?

The old man was bewildered.

But then, a scorching aura swept out and enshrouded him. An almost complete law of fire raged forth.

Su Ping had mastered the law of fire earlier than other laws. It was almost perfect at the moment, thanks to the memory fragments passed on through the Golden Crow bloodline. They improved and helped Su Ping significantly.

“Soul Sealing!”

Su Ping looked at him indifferently and raised his hand, which turned bigger and bigger in the old man’s eyes, as if about to cover the entire sky!

His eyes widened with disbelief.

The law of fire swept out and melted the old man’s arm. His hair and clothes were quickly burned, and so was the astral power in his body. He was rapidly losing his cultivation. His consciousness, still in Su Ping’s hand, had yet to be corrupted, but it was gradually blocked.

“Let me find out who organized this assault.” Su Ping’s eyes were cold. He was going to search the guy’s memories, which wasn’t hard for him to do.

He had obtained all sorts of special secret techniques in the cultivation sites. Mind infiltration was one of them; he had learned it from the undead creatures a long time before.

Many spirits were capable of doing that. The Little Skeleton could too.

“Not a chance!” roared the old man in a scary manner. His face was contorted, although it was unclear whether it was caused by fear or pain. Black fog erupted from his body, as if ghosts were crying.

“You’re cursed?” Su Ping sensed that the black fog was rather weird; there was an aura of a curse that only the horrifying undead creatures would have been able to master. That old man had clearly been deeply corrupted; the curse could even erase the old man at any time and replace his consciousness!

The old man cried miserably and cursed at times. The black fog surged and gathered, before pointing at Su Ping like a black finger.

Su Ping slightly changed his expression and snorted. His eyes turned into a pure golden, just before he spouted Golden Crow flames.

The most dominating flames in the entire world appeared and almost set the entire cabin ablaze. Even laws and the void had been melted.

There were trailing fumes coming from the black finger, as if the finger were being burned; a snort was heard when it was about to be melted.

The snort inflicted a heavy strike on Su Ping’s mind, just like a hammer. Such an attack left him quite shocked; he would have passed out if his willpower hadn’t been significantly improved in the Sea of Illusions!

The finger made of black fog gradually dispersed, along with the creepy and dark aura in the air. Su Ping’s expression showed a slight change again; that old man had obviously contracted something unclean, likely the lingering consciousness of a dead expert. Or maybe an expert was trying to resurrect by using the curse!

Fortunately, it’s just the lingering consciousness…?Su Ping was secretly relieved. He looked at the struggling and roaring old man and then suppressed him without granting any mercy.

The old man’s remaining awareness seemed to realize that he was doomed. He immediately planned to blow himself up.

However, Su Ping’s willpower was far greater than that of any Star Lord; he had completely suppressed the old man, and could detect any change in him. He didn’t give the man a chance to kill himself.

“You want to kill yourself? Not yet.” Su Ping coldly looked at the masked young man on the other side after capturing the old man’s soul. He saw that the man had already been heavily wounded by his clone.

Even if his clone was only half as strong as himself, it was still enough for him to suppress his opponent.

“Freeze!”

Su Ping suddenly pointed with a finger, making space and time quake. The still struggling masked young man stiffened for a moment. Su Ping’s clone seized the opportunity and suppressed him, sending him to its small world.

The copy’s world had been perfected too, except that it was only half as powerful as Su Ping’s.

Even so, the masked young man was unable to break free.

The spaceship had been seriously damaged, and everybody was exposed in space at the moment.

Loulan Lin was overwhelmed by disbelief, having seen that Su Ping had finished off the ambushers in the blink of an eye. Her shock increased, leaving her at a loss for words, when she saw the masked young man running about in the copy’s small world and trying to break free.

“If you saw that something was wrong with them, why didn’t you do anything earlier?” Loulan Lin asked Su Ping after a long while passed.

By then, Su Ping had infiltrated the old man’s mind and read all his memories. Once hearing Loulan Lin’s question, he replied, “Although they hid their cultivation, I wasn’t sure they were against us; what if they were actually good guys?”

“They were too suspicious; how could they not be against us?” Loulan Lin didn’t know what else to say.

“I thought only Ascendants would be sent to kill us.” Su Ping shook his head. “It’s actually unbelievable that they would send such lackeys.”

Dumbfounded by the answer, Loulan Lin was planning to argue with him. However, she was rendered speechless upon seeing the old man’s lingering soul as Su Ping squeezed it, plus the other assassin who was confined in the small world.

The pair of strong Star Lord assassins had been suppressed by Su Ping with tremendous ease. She too felt that the world was crazy!

“Do you know of the Dark Tower’s existence?” asked Su Ping.

Loulan Lin narrowed her eyes, goosebumps forming all over her body. She asked in shock, “They belong to the Dark Tower? How is that possible?”

“Is it a very famous place?” Su Ping almost wanted to search for it on his watch.

“Normal people have never heard about it. However, in terms of assassination, it’s the unquestionable No. 1 in the entire universe!”

Loulan Lin couldn’t help but explain further, “The Dark Tower’s targets have never survived. Also, the Dark Tower’s assassins are never scared; it’s said that a Celestial expert is behind the group. No wonder they were sent to kill you; it makes sense. Only the Dark Tower would dare to send Ascendants to kill you without worrying about your master’s retaliation!”

Loulan Lin understood everything and gasped.

“However, I’m going to be an exception,” said Su Ping casually. But he was rather solemn.

The Dark Tower was backed by a Celestial State expert. Did they choose to attack him out of their own initiative, or was it a contract?

Even though the old man had failed to kill himself, he seemed prepared to be caught. His memories had been modified, which prevented Su Ping from acquiring all the information.

However, he had found a lot of things about the assault.

For example, the Ascendant expert’s code name was Yin Xing. He committed that to memory!

Furthermore, the Blue Castle Planetary System had already been cleared by the assassins. Four additional assassins had set up a grand trap there, ready to kill Su Ping.

Unfortunately, when they tried to poison Su Ping on the spaceship to weaken him, they didn’t expect that Loulan Lin would have a secret treasure that could detect poison.

They felt really confident of the poison they had bought; probably not even experienced assassins may notice it. However, Loulan Lin noticed it and became alert.

I traveled a hundred times in the void and eventually arrived in this region. And yet they had already set up a trap in this place!?Su Ping was rather impressed after reading the old man’s memories.

The surrounding space had been blocked. The Ascendant named Yin Xing had only planned to keep Su Ping’s Ascendant protector distracted, and then push Su Ping into the “bag” they had prepared in advance.

That part of space was the interior of the bag.

If Su Ping was unaware of the arrangement, he would be stuck inside the bag no matter how many times he teleported.
