Eternal Thief

Chapter 734 Grim Winged Serpent



On his flying sword, Ace flew closer toward the rising smoke of the explosion while keeping a close eye on the red fate point's movements. 

Furthermore, he noticed that even larger rocky beings started to emerge from the mountain terrain, and they were all moving toward the explosion area. 

'This layer is even deadlier than just the first two layers. Although there is no heat, I would prefer the heat over these terrifying walking explosives any day.' Ace grimly thought. 

Even though he was safe since those rocky beings couldn't seem to see through his stealth. But if he ran out of Qi, then he had to land on the ground, and once he did, he knew even a small pebble could cause an explosion. It was even more tiring than exhausting Qi. 

Nonetheless, Ace's focus right now was the mysterious person. He needed to extract information, and to do that, he needed to subdue it, which won't be an easy task. 

So, Ace still decided to wait in the sky and stealthily observe his target before he struck at the appropriate moment. He knew that person wouldn't go down with some explosion, so exhausting it was the best option. 

However, Ace's eyes widened slightly at this moment when he suddenly heard powerful sounds of wings flapping and all that rising smoke suddenly blown away, revealing something right out of a nightmare. 

It was a six-meter-long serpent with crystal-like diamond shape gray scales all over its body and a ghastly skull-like pattern that could be virtualized by the pitch-black scales over its giant snake head, and there was a long black blade-like horn between its eyes. 

But the most striking thing about that serpent was its black bat wings with a wingspan of about ten meters connected a few feet down its head. There were even gray skull-like patterns within its massive wings. 

Right now, those massive wings were flapping, creating a massive among of wind current, and all those rocks getting closer to the serpent were sent flying like rag dolls. 

But the serpent seemed to be unfazed by those explosive rocks as its icy, venomous eyes were affixed on the sky as it took flight. 

Ace's heart palpitated at this moment as an icy chill ran down his spine because those venomous eyes were locked right where he was standing. 

'Was that person a magic beast of the extinct Grim Winged Serpent Tribe?!' Ace felt cold sweat forming over his forehead when he thought about the Grim Winged Serpent.

Ace found the records about this magic beast and many other rare magic beasts not long ago in the secret section of the Union Library when he went through all those secret texts. 

The Grim Winged Serpent Tribe was a de facto Magic Beast Tribe with Grade-8 Bloodline, meaning they could cultivate into the 8th Realm without any restrictions, and they were like nobles in the all-magic beast bloodline present in the mortal world. 

They were a very mysterious bunch, and only their name and a handmade sketch were present in the old book. But they can be easily recognizable because of those skull-like patterns over their head and bat-shaped wings. 

That's why Ace was instantly able to recognize the magic beast's species, and he also knew he was in huge trouble. 

Because there was only one trait written in those records known to the public about the Grim Winged Serpent, it was their ability to see through elements. Simply put, as long as someone was using any kind of skill with any element, they would be able to see right through it; this includes Ace stealth!

Ace never expected this seemingly extinct species would be here of all places, and he even knew this person somehow. If the system hadn't assured him that there was nothing wrong with his soul signature ability, he would be hundred percent sure that the ability was malfunctioning.

But it was the least of his worries since that terrifying magic beast was moving right toward him with thick killing intent.  ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

'Did he think I could be intimidated just by that killing intent and its size? Even though its aura is ten times deeper and more potent before its transformation. But I'm not some ordinary river core cultivator either. I need to know who he is and how did he know me, and most importantly, if there was a way to leave this place without going into the union.' Ace thought as he didn't turn around the fled. 

If it was some other time, then he might entertain that notion of running away instead of confronting that mysterious magic beast. But the thing was, he couldn't, and there was no reason to do it either. 

A hint of uncertainty flashed past the Grim Winged Serpent's eyes when it saw that guy who was clearly running away a moment ago was not running anymore. 

Furthermore, now that he had a clear look on White's face, it was somewhat in shock and disbelief, 'He is not a hunter, but a human. How could a human have appeared in this place? Is he one of those Realm Aborigines described in the ancient texts? So, those aborigines were the human race? I should capture and interrogates him; these people might know more information about the Law Source…' 

The Grim Winged Serpent's thought process was instantly disrupted as its survival instincts suddenly kicked it abruptly. 

Confused and alarmed, it looked at the human again because that feeling was coming directly from him. 

The next moment, its pupils dilated when it saw black Qi swords start to emerge right behind the humans, and they were not just two or three swords but hundreds of them, and their numbers were still climbing. 

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm If they were normal Qi swords, they would appear transparent in its eyes. However, they were not, and it knew what that meant. A horrified realization stuck it at this moment, 'Complete Element Sword Intent, is he really a Soul River realm human?!' 

That killing intent in its eyes vanished without a trace, and so did the thought of overpowering Ace and capturing him.

Because right now, it needed to care about escaping those hundreds of sword-intent blades as they were giving it an even more terrifying feeling than the normal element sword intent it felt once. 

Ace also noticed the Grim Winged Serpent's change in emotions almost instantly, and when he noticed it wanted to change its trajectory, his lips curled up, 'It's too late to regret it now! Eternal Thief's Sword Style; Soul Shadow Blade Rain!' 

On Ace's behest, all those swords turned into dark streaks and directly rained down on the Grim Winged Serpent, which was so massive it was hard for it to dodge all of them, and it was still in the process of completely getting out of Ace's position. 

So, those sword intents were going to hit him no matter what the Serpent did, and they were not some element sword blade, but law-filled sword intent blades so the damage would not be little, even its life was at stake. 

"You, human brat, dared to make me use this treasure. I'll remember you!" It yelled in hated before all of a sudden, a tatter white scroll appeared in front of it, and the next moment it lit up in white light. 

Ace was surprised as that light was giving him a strange feeling but not the feeling of danger. 

That light only lasted for a moment, like a blink, and then vanished, and with that light, that Grim Winged Serpent vanished as well, and all those sword-intent Qi blades landed onto nothing but empty air. 

Ace was startled as he looked at the empty space where the massive Grim Winged Serpent was a moment ago and about to be enveloped in his Soul Shadow Blade Rain. 

'A teleportation talisman?!'
