Monarch Night

The situation was evenly matched, with neither side able to do anything to the other.

The sound of voices gathered in the crashing waves, talking with a rustling noise.

"Water God Xiao Tianshui hasn't arrived?"

Shui Mei spoke.

"If Xiao Tianshui had come, do you think you could still be alive?"

"Heh heh... you think you all belong to the same family? Your Yin Shui Palace isn't any good; you're trying to take advantage while we're fighting with the Guardian."

"That's still better than your Wei Wo Zheng Sect!"

The Water Ghost's voice was low: "If Xiao Tianshui were here, and the two of us teamed up against you, we from Yin Shui Palace would only need thirty percent of this Purple Crystal cave, and we won't even take the Purple Crystal Soul!"

"You're saying this for Xiao Tianshui to hear, right? It's just a pity he's not here, Water Ghost, you're doomed to die today!"

Shui Mei laughed coldly, with an increasingly fierce attack.

And the Water Ghost was gradually being suppressed.

The Water God was always lurking on the side, making no move.

Finally, with a loud bang, the Water Ghost was struck on the shoulder by Shui Mei's palm, flying back into a spray of large waves, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, yet he sneered, "Shui Mei, you're stronger than me, but so what? This is still the Guardian's territory, I don't believe Xiao Tianshui can't find this place."

"I just need to hold you off until he arrives, then you'll be the one who's bound to die."

"Can you hold on? I'll kill you in less than a quarter of an hour!"

Shui Mei was clearly worried about this issue as well. So he intended to finish the battle quickly, with more and more fierce assaults.

The Water Ghost was on the complete defensive, and with the water flows intertwining, he absolutely couldn't escape.

Finally shouting hoarsely: "Xiao Tianshui! Xiao Tianshui!"

The voice echoed beneath the ground.

But Xiao Tianshui still didn't move.

Shui Mei raged: "Shut up!"

The Water Ghost wouldn't shut up. If Xiao Tianshui didn't come soon, he was doomed.

Spitting blood, he yelled: "Xiao Tianshui, we from Yin Shui Palace only want twenty percent!"

"Only ten percent!"

"Half of a percent is enough! Just let me show my face when I return!"

The Water Ghost continuously shouted, while also constantly getting injured, but the Water God he called for still didn't arrive.

Seeing he was about to die at Shui Mei's hands, the Water Ghost screamed mournfully: "I don't want any part of it anymore! I don't want it! I know you're here, if you don't make a move, I'll start cursing you..."

Bang!

The attacking Shui Mei was struck fiercely from behind with a heavy blow, making a loud noise as he was flung away, bleeding from all seven orifices, and his internal organs were shaken and cracked.

Xiao Tianshui transformed into a torrent, surging wildly.

While laughing: "You said you don't want any part of it, Water Ghost."

The Water Ghost, on the brink of death, floated on the water's surface: "I don't want it anymore! Just don't kill me."

Over there, Shui Mei screamed in agony, being struck again.

Then suddenly there were towering waves, flooding the entire Purple Crystal Cave, with a hoarse voice saying, "Xiao Tianshui, well, just you wait."

"Still trying to escape!"

Xiao Tianshui sealed the cave entrance, attacking continuously.

But the water flowed everywhere, and after sustaining multiple injuries, Shui Mei finally managed to break through.

The sound of rushing water accompanied the escape, instantly transforming into countless tiny streams, diving into every crevice.

The Water Ghost, panting, said: "If you'd come out sooner... you're better at water control than we are, but your attacks are average... if you'd come out sooner and let me conserve some strength... we might have destroyed him... but you were greedy for this cave of Purple Crystal."

Xiao Tianshui sighed, tossing over an elixir pill, saying: "Heal yourself. It's not greed, it's just that this little bit of Purple Crystal Spirit Mine, how much is it? All the Guardians and Protectors on the Continent need this thing... how could I share it with you? Giving away even a piece weakens the Guardian's combat power."

He said coldly: "Your Yin Shui Palace doesn't participate in the war between right and evil, what use is it to give it to you?"

The Water Ghost sighed, taking the pill and putting it in his mouth, saying: "But for here, relying on you alone, how can you transport it up? Surely you need help?"

"Once the location is known, do you think Lord Xue and Lord Jian can't get down here?"

Xiao Tianshui replied: "Once your injury is healed, leave; I'll stay here to guard. Lord Xue and the others should be coming down soon."

As soon as he made the discovery, he had already informed Xue Fuxiao.

However, Xue Fuxiao needed some time to find this place.

Moreover, they were still in battle.

A moment later, the Water Ghost's breathing was steady, "If that's the case, I'll head up first to bring Xue Fuxiao and the others down, as a favor for saving my life. Furthermore, stop having designs on Yin Shui Palace."

He earnestly said: "Let us be at peace in the great marsh, we really can't get involved in your war between right and evil."

Xiao Tianshui pondered for a moment, then said: "Alright."

The Water Ghost stood up with a light sigh: "It's a pity, the Purple Crystal Soul is just about to form, what a shame... but looking at things, it will probably take at least tens of thousands of years... and now that this place has been discovered, the Purple Crystal Soul has no chance to take shape."

"What a pity for such a top-class Heavenly Treasure."

"There's nothing that can be done about it."

Xiao Tianshui said indifferently: "How could we possibly wait tens of thousands of years? Even if we're willing to wait, would the Wei Wo Zheng Sect wait? Furthermore, this Purple Crystal Cave has already been damaged; even a million years later, the Purple Crystal Soul cannot form."

"That makes sense."

The Water Ghost sighed, transformed into a stream of water, and rushed out.

...

Outside, in the sky, the fierce battle had already concluded, with both sides in a standoff.

Here, over a hundred Guardian experts had arrived, including some seasoned experts like Huntian Hammer Dongfang Zhongming.

It showed how important this battle was regarded.

Over there, people from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect numbered about forty or fifty.

Duan Xiyang held a spear, overbearingly looking down on the world.

Neither side moved.

Because, someone was arriving.

Under the watching eyes, a figure in black suddenly obscured the sun, an infinite terror, instantly descended.
