Chapter 2259: Chapter 2252: I’ve Seen This Scene Before

The way the Guardian descended was unremarkable; he was an elderly man in a white robe, looking about seventy years old, with a full head of white hair and beard, giving off an ethereal, sage-like aura. He stood on the ground as if he were a slow-moving white cloud.

“Guys, time to watch the show!”

At Zhang Menglong’s command, he and ten others leapt to the tallest nearby building, where each took out a chair and sat down.

“Anyone got milk tea?”

“I brought sunflower seeds.”

“Give me a pack, and I’ll share my spicy strips with you!”

The ten of them took on a ready-for-entertainment posture, which even made the Guardian’s eye twitch slightly upon seeing them.

“Don’t look at us; we haven’t done anything!” Zhang Menglong faced the Guardian’s gaze with calm composure. “Although we did just engage, he acted first; I was merely defending myself. Everyone here can testify to that, right?”

“Yes, Guardian, we can all testify. Xiaolin Chusheng made the first move; they were just reasonably retaliating.”

“Xiaolin Chusheng attacked the city earlier, and it’s them who blocked the attacks. Otherwise, we ordinary folks would have already perished.”

“Yes, Guardian, they even got injured. After all this is over, they should definitely be commended.”

“I understand. Once this is resolved, I will report to His Majesty.” Although annoyed by Zhang Menglong and the others’ antics, what can be done? They have public support!

“Xiaolin Chusheng, considering your exceptional Gift, this time incurred no casualties, just an economic loss. If you come with me, maybe I can plead on your behalf and reduce your confinement to under a century.”

“A century?” Xiaolin Chusheng sneered. Being only two to three hundred years old, he’d rather die than be imprisoned for that long.

“Guardian, although my strength is far from yours, killing me will not be easy either. How about I leave the Holy Kingdom, and we end this?” Xiaolin Chusheng suggested.

“Guardian, you absolutely cannot let him leave like this!”

“Indeed, he must face the appropriate punishment!”

“If he leaves, how can we ever establish ourselves here?” Neither the law enforcers nor the ordinary people were willing to accept such a proposal.

“Xiaolin Chusheng, you heard them,” the Guardian’s tone turned icy, “Surrender peacefully!”

“Then let’s see the Guardian’s methods!” Xiaolin Chusheng’s aura quickly recovered using some unknown means. Facing a Dominator-level Guardian, he would struggle to escape without being in his best state!

“Boom boom boom!”

Suddenly, Xiaolin Chusheng seemed divided, manifesting countless clones, each with an identical aura to the original, and these clones scattered in all directions seeking escape.

“Idiot, using such low-level tactics to fool the Guardian?” Zhang Menglong remarked, easily discerning which was Xiaolin Chusheng’s true body.

The Guardian snorted coldly; if such tricks allowed Xiaolin Chusheng to escape, he’d be quite embarrassed!

“Spatial Barrier,” the Guardian uttered slowly, and instantly the farthest fleeing clone smacked into an invisible wall, crackling upon impact.

“Hahaha, I knew it,” Zhang Menglong laughed. The Guardian God’s method was straightforward and forceful; you’re trying to escape with clones? I don’t need to waste effort figuring out the real body; if none can escape, then that’s enough!

But the Guardian’s methods weren’t just that. He not only sealed off the surrounding space, but also began compressing it!

The spatial barrier, over several thousand meters in diameter, started shrinking like a balloon reducing in volume.

Xiaolin Chusheng’s countless clones attempted to break this spatial barrier but had no effect.

Before long, the diameter shrank to less than ten meters, a space far too small to accommodate all Xiaolin Chusheng’s clones, resulting in many collapsing until only one remained.

Xiaolin Chusheng wasn’t too surprised when his move was dismantled; he brandished his blade, slicing across the space prison and cutting open a fissure!

“Spatial Rule Weapon!” Even the Guardian showed surprise; this blade was a technology weapon!

Xiaolin Chusheng displayed a pleased expression; though his strength couldn’t match the Guardian, due to the system’s presence, the scientific technology he mastered provided him numerous methods. After all, as the saying goes, no martial skill can withstand a knife.

Science and cultivation have never been about which is stronger, only about advancement.

“Able to breach such a strong spatial barrier, how will you now respond?” The Guardian was evidently a prideful man; since his spatial lock was broken, he’d employ stronger spatial forces!

“Crack!” One could even hear the surrounding space shattering.

The area where Xiaolin Chusheng was seemingly collapsed in an instant, like a shattered mirror, revealing chaotic spatial turbulence in the subspace beyond!

If Xiaolin Chusheng were at the shattered center, his body would become countless fragments, like the space.

“Susanoo!” Xiaolin Chusheng once again summoned a strong energy Shield, as Susanoo’s phantom started breaking around. Clearly, its defensive power couldn’t withstand the Guardian’s force, but it slowed the collapsing force, granting Xiaolin Chusheng enough time.

“Damn, he’s going to use that move again!” Zhang Menglong instantly recognized Xiaolin Chusheng’s repeated tactic, “Guardian, this Secret Technique of his can bypass spatial locks!”

The Guardian, upon hearing Zhang Menglong’s warning, could no longer maintain composure.

In a flash, he appeared beside Xiaolin Chusheng, encircled by a barrier of black flames.

The barrier couldn’t block the Guardian but could obscure his sight!

“Damn, he’s getting away again!”

The Guardian obviously didn’t anticipate Xiaolin Chusheng’s cunning escape method; reaching out, the flames ignited his white robe, but his arm showed no burn marks.

“Come out!”

He forcefully grabbed, but what he seized was only a severed arm.

The flames dispersed, and Xiaolin Chusheng’s figure was already gone.

“Wow, this scene is familiar!” Zhang Menglong recalled last time, he also left Xiaolin Chusheng with just an arm!

….

“Whack!” Xiaolin Chusheng fell to the ground, his arm bleeding profusely.

Encountering Zhang Menglong twice, ending both times like this, Xiaolin Chusheng’s animosity towards him had now reached its Peak.

“The final recall battle is coming soon; inside the Tower of Demons and Gods, even the Guardian’s power won’t be able to interfere. After obtaining that Soul Shard from Ancient Humans, I’ll kill you all!”
