Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start

522 Final Strike

“Master…”

Firey’s expression turned serious. She was worried about Himmel Soan.

Although she couldn’t see Himmel Soan clearly through the fog, she didn’t think that man would lie about such things. There was no point.

It sounded like Himmel Soan was in the worst possible situation.

Himmel Soan had used over 70% of his energy. If a cultivator had no spiritual essence left, he would be as defenseless as an ordinary man.

Himmel Soan would be at that man’s mercy.

“The battle isn’t over yet. How do you know I’m going to lose?” Himmel Soan asked confidently.

Nobody knew why he still hadn’t panicked.

He should have lost all hope, yet he didn’t seem to have noticed it and wasn’t worried about his safety at all.

“Having confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence will make you an egoist, the most foolish of men.”

The man smiled, believing the battle to be over.

Even though Himmel Soan hadn’t exhausted his spiritual essence, that man was sure he would win.

The fog had almost turned into a liquid form. In ten more minutes, flowing water would fill the air.

Even if Himmel Soan was at his best, he wouldn’t be able to put up a fight when the water trapped him.

The technique was called the Ultimate Water Region and was the man’s deadliest move.

“Are you still not giving up?” The man noticed Himmel Soan was running as fast as he could in one direction.

Even now, he was still trying to break out of the fog.

The man threw more fog in Himmel Soan’s way than before. He believed the other party could never get out of the fog.

“This battle is over!”

Just then, the man heard Himmel Soan’s voice.

He realized in surprise that Himmel Soan had disappeared from his sight.

A dagger was pressed against his neck.

It was none other than the divine dagger. Himmel Soan had somehow sneaked upon him.

The battle was over. The man lost. He lost the battle the moment Himmel Soan put the dagger on his neck.

He could try to dodge, but no matter how fast he moved, he couldn’t be faster than Himmel Soan’s dagger.

“You won!” The man smiled bitterly.

The fog vanished, and Firey could see them again.

“Master!” She cried out in excitement when she saw Himmel Soan subdue the man with the divine dagger.

It all happened so suddenly.

One second ago, the man was so sure that Himmel Soan would lose, and now, the battle was over.

“You fought well!” Himmel Soan put away the dagger.

As soon as the man admitted his defeat, the water stopped attacking him.

He wasn’t worried about the man being deceitful. He had subdued him and passed the test. The man had no reason to break his promise.

Moreover, Himmel Soan could feel that the man wasn’t at his best. Instead, he suppressed himself to be at the same level as Himmel Soan, just as the rules required him to.

If the man wanted to kill Himmel Soan, he could simply exert all his power. Himmel Soan would never be his match.

“How did you do it?” the man asked Himmel Soan in bewilderment.

He still couldn’t figure out how Himmel Soan disappeared from his sight and got so close to him.

With that speed, he could have left the fog in an instant and didn’t need to stall for so long.

“We have a saying from where I came from: what makes you successful can also be your downfall. The fog helped you to suppress me, but it’s also why you lost the battle.” Himmel Soan was in high spirits.

“I still don’t understand,” said the man. He still couldn’t wrap his head around how Himmel Soan did it.

“It’s quite simple. When the fog condensed into water drops, they would show my reflection. That was how I won.”

The man finally understood.

When the fog condensed, countless droplets of water filled the air.

When there were enough water droplets, they would form curtains of water that appeared all around Himmel Soan like big mirrors.

Himmel Soan made good use of his reflections in these mirrors.

The man saw Himmel Soan trying to run away from the fog, but it was actually Himmel Soan’s reflection. The real him was hidden elsewhere.

That was how Himmel Soan suddenly disappeared from the man’s sight.

When the reflection disappeared, the real Himmel Soan was already by the man’s side.

“How did you know where to find me?” the man asked.

Himmel Soan needed to stay out of the man’s sight, but he also had to find the man’s location. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to put the dagger on his throat.

“Another saying from my hometown: the villains die because they talk too much. Although it was hard to track you in the fog, your voice revealed your location.”

Himmel Soan didn’t spend the last hour running around aimlessly. He had been looking for the man.

He never gave up and only struck back when it was the right moment.

As expected, he turned the situation around and defeated his opponent.

“I see…” The man seemed frustrated.

He never thought he would lose like this.

He was as capable as Himmel Soan, if not better, but he was a lot weaker in terms of improvising in actual battles.

Of course, he would lose the fight.

A long while passed before the man smiled with relief. “Congratulations. You won the battle. I’m impressed.”

“I was lucky. If the fog had turned into flowing water faster, I’d have been trapped.”
