People are full of pirates

Chapter 390 Face-to-face confrontation
That feeling is getting clearer...

Nuo Xia squinted her eyes.

He has never been to Huajian, but with his strong knowledge, he can faintly feel a powerful aura that cannot be ignored from the moment he stepped into Pangu City, hidden here.

And now that it fell in front of the door and the distance got closer, that aura became more and more clear.

no doubt.

Im, right here!

No further thought.

Lightning lingered all over his body, Nuo Xia was about to step into the flowers, when an old deep voice suddenly sounded:
"Little ghost, if I were you, I wouldn't choose to take this step."

next moment.

Accompanied by a soft creaking sound, the door surrounded by clouds and mist slowly opened, and an old figure appeared in the darkness.

It is different from Hephaestus, who is five meters tall and extremely strong.

The visitor was stooped and short, wearing a large Japanese-style yukata, walking on crutches, and wearing wooden clogs. He had gray hair, a wrinkled face, and age spots all over his face.

She looked old, at least a hundred years old, but her dark eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

The rickety old man was on the steps, condescending, looked at Nuo Xia below, and said coldly:
"Back off, navy boy, your opponent should be Hephaestus, even if you lose, you'll still die with honor."

"But if you continue to move forward and disturb Master Qingmeng, then waiting for your end will not be so cheap as death."

Nuo Xia didn't say anything, but just looked the crooked old man up and down with some surprise in his eyes.

He originally thought that the powerful aura he felt outside Pangu City was Im.

but now.

After the old man in front of him appeared, the aura emanating from his body unexpectedly matched the perfect fit he felt before!
"Did you misjudge..."

Nuo Xia chuckled, looked over the shoulders of the rickety old man, and looked deeper into the mysterious palace.

The problem is not big.

Although the previous guess was wrong, there is no doubt that the place in front of me is indeed among the flowers.

And from what the old man said just now, it can be concluded that Im has not left at this moment, he is in this palace!

just.

Such a strong man regards Im as his master, acting like a servant, and even if he is in front of the gate, he can't feel the trace of Im at all...

"The old and immortal guys are really scary."

He snorted, feeling that Hephaestus was approaching at full speed from behind, he stopped thinking about it immediately, and turned into a thunderbolt, heading straight for the open door.

The height of the gate is six to seven meters, and the rickety old man is only one meter six at most. He is a pure yordle-level height, and there is enough room above his head for him to pass through directly.

"Looking for death..."

Seeing Nuo Xia ignoring him and forcibly breaking in, the crooked old man shook his head slightly, with no anger on his face.

It's just that when Lei Guang was about to rush to the steps, he slammed on his crutches, and his figure suddenly swelled!

Roar!
In an instant, he turned into a giant tortoise with a height of ten meters, raised his head and roared, his huge body almost occupied the entire steps, and the door was also blocked airtight.

Nuo Xia's speed was too fast. Seeing the drastic change in front of him, it was too late to change direction, let alone retreat, so his eyes were fixed, and without hesitation, he drew out the twin swords of Yongen surrounded by thunder, and slashed down alternately.

Boom! ! !
Obviously the place where the slash fell was not the shell of the turtle, but the head, but there was still a very dull sound of metal collision.

The powerful counter-shock force made Nuo Xia's jaw go numb for a while, and he almost failed to grasp the hilt of his sword. His body was directly thrown out and smashed into the wall a hundred meters away.

Rubbles were flying and dust was flying. Before the movement stopped, Nuo Xia, who was unscathed, had already stepped out of the ruins and looked up at the giant turtle in front of him in amazement.

This big tortoise has such a strong body!
After simply attaching a layer of armed color, the softest Guitou was already so hard that even his sword blade could hardly cut it.

Then how strong will this tortoise shell covered with bony spurs be?
Turtle fruit?
No, in his impression, the big lion Pokmus, who was born in the fur tribe, is the one with the ability of the turtle fruit, and there is no way to transform into such a terrifying giant.

The fruit ability of the rickety old man in front of him is obviously stronger than that, and it probably comes from ancient phantom beasts.

"Bixi fruit?"

he asked tentatively.

"Do you think the old man will answer this question?"

The giant tortoise looked down blankly, with an anthropomorphic indifference in its dark brown pupils, "I gave you a chance, but now that the old man is forced to do it yourself, today you..."

"Are you the spear, or the shield?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nuo Xia's curious question.

The answer is so obvious, such a stupid question still needs to be asked?

Sullenness finally flashed in the giant tortoise's eyes, and with a low growl, the bony barbs on its back suddenly turned straight towards the sky, and pulled out backwards!

The roots were covered by a strong armed atmosphere, and immediately, like countless arrows raining, they shot towards Nuo Xia at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye!

Whoosh whoosh!
The thorn rain was dense, but Nuo Xia still stood at the same place, and he didn't see how he moved. He saw the blue light flickering and dancing, and he dodged all the barbs of the giant turtle with ease.

Infinite teleportation?

As expected of a thunder fruit capable user, what a frightening speed...

The giant tortoise narrowed its eyes, snorted coldly, and raised its cyan right paw, and was about to continue attacking, when a lazy voice suddenly came from the dark corridor behind:

"Let him in, Aguru."

This voice is neutral and normal, neither male nor female, nor age can be distinguished.

However, the giant tortoise, who was raging with anger, changed his expression drastically, and his body shrank sharply in an instant, and he turned back into the old crooked old man in a bathrobe and clogs.

"Yes, Master."

The rickety old man bowed respectfully towards the inside of the gate. After three or four seconds, he dared to get up, turned around, and looked at Nuo Xia coldly:

"What are you doing here, kid, go in."

Nuo Xia didn't respond, but turned around and looked outside.

Outside the collapsed wall, Hephaestus, who was covered in flames, had arrived and landed on the ruins, but he hesitated to step in until the crooked old man nodded slightly and winked at him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Nuo Xia sympathetically, and didn't stay any longer, turned around and headed for Pangu City where Wulaoxing was located.

"Still going in?"

The rickety old man's icy scolding sounded in his ear, Nuo Xia did not hesitate, and directly punched the old man's face with all his strength, but the latter responded in time, his right arm swelled into a half-turtle, half-human form, firmly clenched He grabbed his right hand tightly.

The two were deadlocked in the air, constantly increasing their strength, and the dark armed colors gradually spread to cover the arms of both sides.

But no matter how much they increase, no one can force the opponent back.

After a full dozen seconds.

Nuo Xia shook off the opponent's right paw, shook his wrist nonchalantly, and then, under the gaze of the stooped old man so cold that the air was about to freeze, he waved his arms towards the latter with a smile, as a farewell.

Immediately, he strode across the threshold and stepped into the dimly lit endless corridor.

"The defense is probably stronger than BIGMOM's steel balloon body."

"The strength is about the same as mine."

"After all, the overall combat power is probably slightly stronger than Hephaestus, and at the same level as Kaido BIGMOM."

……

and so.

Are shields harder to deal with than spears?

Nuo Xia thought casually in her heart, and unconsciously walked through the corridor paved with red carpets, and came to the center among the flowers.

The light is suddenly bright, the surrounding clouds are misty, the trees are luxuriant, and the fragrance of birds and flowers can be heard everywhere.

And in this hall, the majestic Void Throne stands tall, and behind the shadows, one can vaguely see a tall and graceful figure sitting on the throne.

Wulaoxing was still crawling and trembling before the throne, but Nuo Xia walked all the way with a casual expression, looked left and turned around, as if he had returned to his own home, and picked a rose casually, bowed his head He sniffed lightly.

Well, it's true.

"Finally meet."

He played with the rose in his hand, looked up at the figure on the Void Throne, and said with a smile:
"What should I call better... Sister Im? Aunt? Or grandma?"

With a flick of the fingers, a thin invisible blue silk thread wrapped around the roots of the rose, and the rose flower, still covered with morning dew, floated leisurely in front of the throne like a living thing.

A slender white right hand protruded from the sleeve robe, and two slender fingers grasped Rose.

"Romanov Norsha..."

The neutral voice that couldn't tell the age sounded again, calm and deep, "You seem to...know a lot?"

I don't know if it's an illusion.

The moment the snow-white skin touched the rose, the plucked flower seemed to come alive again, the stamens moved without wind, and the edges of the petals stretched slightly...

Nuo Xia's pupils shrank slightly.

In the next second, he withdrew his gaze, landed on the shadowed face of the other party again, and grinned, "What do you think?"

"It seems to know a lot, but it also seems to know nothing."

Im's voice was still calm, without any emotional fluctuations, "I thought you were dissatisfied with the new Marshal, so you killed Shangpan Ancient City and asked Wu Laoxing for an explanation."

"But now it seems that your real target is only me. Wulaoxing is just putting on a show in front of Wulaoxing, but you are very serious about Xiaogui and that boy playing with flames..."

"And now, you want to test out my details."

The rose suddenly split open, pink petals flew everywhere, and Im finally got up from the Void Throne and stepped down the steps step by step.

"It's really fun."

The tall and slender figure of Miaoman finally stopped at a place five steps away from Nuo Xia.

She showed a beautiful face like a girl, with black hair reaching her waist, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

And the corrugated eyes, which are very similar to the eagle eyes, are looking at the black-haired young man in front of him with great interest:
"It seems that your trip today was only to find out the details of 'us', and you left immediately when you got the information. You never thought of fighting to the end."

"It's just... Now that you know of my existence, what gave you the courage to step into the flowers?"

"Where does the confidence come from, that I can escape from here?"

"Is it based on the magnetic field teleportation you have always been confident in, or... your weird method that can be inexplicably teleported across thousands of miles?"

Nuo Xia listened to Im explaining his thoughts one by one in front of him, and his expression remained normal.

But when he heard the last sentence, his pupils shrank suddenly.

But only for a moment.

In the next moment, he returned to normal, and laughed indifferently under Im's smiling gaze:

"Has this been noticed? It's terrible, Grandma Im."

"Let me guess first... Well, is it the color of knowledge that is so powerful that it can cover the entire world? Or is it your fruit ability that can see all corners of the world from a distance?"

"Whatever it is."

He paused, staring at Im's oppressive corrugated pupils, and laughed:
"It's quite normal for the old witch who has been hiding behind the scenes and silently observing the world for eight hundred years, but I'm just curious, is it necessary to keep staring at me alone?"

Im didn't seem to care about the title "Old Witch". Her eyes stayed on Nuo Xia's face, and she smiled softly after a long time:

"It's rare for someone to catch your eye, so you should pay more attention."

"A very nice face."

She stretched out her index finger obsessively, and caressed Nuo Xia's face, "It is indeed much prettier than in the photo. When I smile, even I feel a little moved..."

Nuo Xia frowned slightly, and turned her head to avoid the "girl"'s touch.

Im seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and didn't care about it, but just like a real sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she stuttered and laughed:

"It's just, little guy, you really don't know anything as I said, knowledgeable? Looking at it from a distance? Even guessing... imagination is still too lacking."
