262: There is a backhand

The forbidden Holy Light that Dao Guang relied upon was useless; it was instantly pierced by the Divine Lightning and shattered into pieces.

However, after the Divine Lightning pierced through the Holy Light, its power was severely depleted, rendering it vulnerable. It was gently swept by Dao Guang's Divine Authority and dissipated.

Although the Great Path Divine Lightning in the sky eventually dissipated, after all this commotion, the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning had already roared and arrived directly above Dao Guang's head, only a few meters away.

Dao Guang, having no other choice, had to cover himself with the Magic Treasure he had painstakingly acquired to resist the impact of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.

This Magic Treasure was a Protector Spirit Treasure that Dao Guang had spent a long time searching for. With just a slight thought, the Magic Treasure instantly enveloped Dao Guang's body.

"Boom!"

Under Ye Kong's control, the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning also began to transform. The Divine Lightning took on the appearance of a Phoenix, spreading its sharp claws and instantly grabbing the Magic Treasure protecting Dao Guang, causing Thunder Light to surge.

The Phoenix claws, evolved from the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, erupted with terrifying Thunder Light, and the sky continuously annihilated in the flashing Thunder Light.

Dao Guang had made his own trap and was confined within the Protector Magic Treasure.

Under the continuous erosion of the Divine Lightning and lightning, the Magic Treasure eventually could not hold up. Lightning instantly poured in through the cracks of the Magic Treasure, and a numbing sensation immediately spread throughout Dao Guang's body, making his scalp tingle.

Just then, Ye Kong's eyebrows rose as he looked towards the distant Imperial Capital. A figure broke through the air from afar, flying over in an instant.

Following closely was a powerful Divine Authority.

Ye Kong's pupils constricted. Another God!

The enemy could be said to have made full preparations. How many Gods the enemy had gathered was still unknown!

"Boom!"

As soon as that God's figure arrived, he launched an attack.

With a wave of his large hand, a Magic Treasure shimmering with profound light flew out from his sleeve, then instantly expanded, transforming into a giant, sky-obscuring bamboo hat. Runes of the Great Path appeared on the bamboo hat.

This large bamboo hat, shimmering with profound light, carried a suppressive Aura. With a turn, the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning was instantly drawn into it and disappeared.

However, although the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning was drawn into the bamboo hat, it did not disappear. Instead, it exploded within, but this explosion only caused the bamboo hat to shake, without any substantial effect.

Then, the bamboo hat slowly shrank and flew back into the figure's hand. That person then put the bamboo hat on his head.

Ye Kong was somewhat surprised. Although the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning he controlled was not as violent and rampant as the Great Path Divine Lightning, it was still a supreme offensive Dao Law. How could it be so easily taken by this bamboo hat?

Ye Kong looked closely. Runes of the Great Path appeared around the bamboo hat. These were not Laws released by that God himself, but rather brought forth by the bamboo hat itself.

Without a doubt, this bamboo hat was definitely a Divine-Grade Magic Treasure, just like the Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash in Ye Kong's own hand; it was a true Divine Artifact!

"Many thanks, Fishing Old Man, for your timely rescue!"

Dao Guang, gasping for breath, bowed and thanked the God's figure in front of him.

At this moment, Dao Guang no longer had his previous dignified appearance. He was now like a beggar on the street, completely charred, covered in wounds from head to toe, all caused by the lightning strikes, a burnt mess.

Dao Guang was not truly convinced by this God called "Fishing Old Man," but since he had been saved by him, he had no choice but to express his gratitude.

The Fishing Old Man, a High-Rank God, was a God from a super family. He was named the Fishing Old Man because he always wore a robe and a bamboo hat. He disappeared three years ago, and everyone lost track of him. No one expected him to reappear at the scene of the attack on the Imperial Capital.

"No need to be polite, Dao Guang. I was just afraid that your death would be a loss to our combat strength!" the Fishing Old Man replied calmly.

Although the Fishing Old Man's tone was calm, the expression on his face was anything but. He stared intently at Ye Kong not far away, his brow furrowed with a grave expression.

According to their battle plan, the Fishing Old Man was supposed to appear when the Emperor made his move, to join others in attacking the Emperor. Therefore, he was temporarily stationed in a forest not far from here. Because he felt the unusual phenomena caused by the Divine Lightning and smelled the Emperor's Aura, he judged that Locke and Dao Guang might not be able to handle the situation, which is why he rushed over. Unexpectedly, he arrived just as Dao Guang was in a critical situation, surrounded by Ye Kong's Divine Lightning.

However, what Ye Kong didn't expect was that the person who almost led Dao Guang to his death was a Venerable, Ye Kong, and not the Emperor himself. If he had known that the Emperor had not appeared, the Fishing Old Man would never have shown up at this time.

Nevertheless, since it had already happened, the Fishing Old Man would not back down.

As soon as the Fishing Old Man appeared in Ye Kong's sight, Ye Kong's eyes had been fixed on him.

"It seems like another shameless Human Race God?" Ye Kong spoke first, his tone low.

"Just doing as I please!" the Fishing Old Man replied gravely.

"I said before that I would punish all Alien Gods who persecute the Human Race," Ye Kong said indifferently.

"Since you are attacking the Imperial Capital and rebelling, your actions are like those of an Alien Race. I will fight you to the death!"

"Ye Kong, what big words you speak!" the Fishing Old Man's face froze upon hearing this, and he said with displeasure.

"Do you know you are speaking to a God? How dare a mere Venerable overestimate himself!" Dao Guang, standing behind the Fishing Old Man, dared not breathe, looking at Ye Kong with hateful eyes, cursing Ye Kong incessantly in his heart, wishing he could flay Ye Kong alive.

At the same time, Dao Guang secretly told the Fishing Old Man, "Fishing Old Man, you must be careful. Although Ye Kong is at the Venerable Realm, the Asura Power and Divine Lightning Power he controls are undoubtedly Divine-Grade killing moves!" This made the Fishing Old Man frown, and he immediately became wary of Ye Kong.

"Good, why don't you also experience my Divine Lightning!"

Ye Kong pointed two fingers at the Fishing Old Man, his tone gloomy, a murderous intent appearing between his brows.

"Are you threatening me?"

The Fishing Old Man spoke each word slowly, his tone very unfriendly.

"It's not a threat, I just don't want to waste words with you!" Ye Kong shrugged, replying casually.

Dao Guang gasped for breath and secretly said again, "Fishing Old Man, Locke has been fighting for a long time and is exhausted. I am also severely injured. If we fight Ye Kong now, even if we win him, what will we do when the Emperor makes his move?"

Dao Guang now only wanted to retreat quickly and recover from his injuries, completely losing the Aura he had earlier, eager to appear and kill Ye Kong to seize the Divine Artifact.

"Hmph! I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer. I will personally come to take your life another day!" After hearing Dao Guang's words, the Fishing Old Man snorted coldly, then turned and flicked his sleeves, departing.

Seeing the Fishing Old Man leave, Dao Guang dared not linger there. After glaring fiercely at Ye Kong, he quickly followed the Fishing Old Man's footsteps and also left the area.
