CHAPTER 548 JUST IN TIME
Seeing this, Erica was surprised. Although she had no idea what the bottle contained, it obviously
garnered the attraction and attention of the spirit-manipulated beasts.
She didn't think about it too much. After glancing at Rocky, she winked at the Glint Phoenix. The latter
floated into the air, not wanting to fly too high due to the thick fog in the deep valley and the wild spirit-
manipulated beasts that roamed it.
After flying a little higher, Erica ordered the Glint Phoenix to speed up. Together with twenty or thirty
wild spirit-manipulated beasts, the five-star Demonic Scorpion at the fourth grade was chasing after
them.
"If you don't wish to die here, attack now!" Rocky shouted upon seeing that the Demonic Scorpion was
distracted.
Noticing that it had been drawn away, the Heavenly Stage masters took command of their own spirit-
manipulated beasts and rushed forward into battle with fierce, brutal force.
After charging forward a little, a five-star wild spirit-manipulated beast leading a pack of other beasts Content held by .
caught up with them from the side. They blocked the Heavenly Stage spirit manipulators' paths,
including Rocky's.
Suddenly, the Dark Lord appeared along with a sinister smile painted across his face.
"Surrender now with your hands up! In exchange, you'll receive a less painful death," he added darkly.
Turning to face Rocky, he called out, "You bastard! It's time you return the Sea Blue Magic Jade to me.
I am its rightful master. You'll never have it."
"I'm on the verge of death anyway. You can rip it from my hands once you kill me," Rocky responded
with a cold smile in spite of his growing desperation. Unfortunately, his only chance of escaping—the
Rainbow Glow Unicorn—was nowhere to be seen.
"Since you're so willing, let me help you!" the Dark Lord sneered as he crooked his finger. Instantly, the
five-star wild spirit-manipulated beast roared and dashed towards Rocky. The Heavenly Stage masters
who were in front of Rocky immediately scattered.
The wild spirit-manipulated beast drew nearer to Rocky and looked ready to tear him into pieces.
With no time to decide, Rocky quickly withdrew his Flaming Blade and gripped it tightly.
Just when everyone thought Rocky's death was inevitable, a beast as strong as the one that was
rushing towards Rocky suddenly appeared from the mists. Its aura was cool and impregnable like a
huge wall of ice.
Suddenly, an earth-shaking sound erupted!
The two beasts bumped heads and created a deafening sound that blew the nearby sand and stones
away.
A stunned Rocky realized that the beast that emerged from the mist seemed familiar. Observing it more
closely, he realized that this was the mother of one of the beasts he had raised in the past. It was a
five-star Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf.
"What is it doing here?" Rocky asked no one in particular.
Its appearance shocked everyone. It was an unfamiliar sight to see a five-star Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf
protect Rocky.
A familiar sound came from far away. Turning towards it, Rocky saw the familiar silhouette of Rainbow
Glow Unicorn who had been missing for days.
"You sneaky beast!" A wry smile appeared on Rocky's face once he saw the Rainbow Glow Unicorn.
He slowly understood that both the Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn must have
come here together. But how did they find each other? All of this struck him as strange.
As Rocky stood in front of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, a collection of colorful clouds appeared on its
forehead.
Knowing what it meant, Rocky pressed his hand on it. In a flash, he disappeared along with the
Rainbow Glow Unicorn.
This left everyone in astonishment.
Even the Dark Lord couldn't contain his surprise.
"You bastard! If you think you can get away from me then you don't know me at all!" the Dark Lord
screamed furiously. Rocky still held the Sea Blue Magic Jade in his hands. If he really took it away, the
Dark Lord could never bear the shame it would bring to his name.
Without warning, his body was enveloped in green light. Numerous eye-like hell flames shot out and
flew into various directions while covering a considerable distance.
The Rainbow Glow Unicorn managed to turn itself and Rocky invisible as they did their best to escape
the chaotic scene happening all around them. They needed to get out of there at once.
Rocky had underestimated the Dark Lord's power. The eye-like hell flames managed to pinpoint exactly
where Rocky and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn hid.
"Nether Explosion!" the Dark Lord called out with a wide, sinister grin.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, the flying hell flames began to spit and crackle like firecrackers that then enveloped Rocky
and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn.
The power from the impact of the strong spiritual power was intense.
Not being able to withstand the collision, both Rocky and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn came out of hiding
and became visible again.
Rocky spat out a mouthful of blood. He was badly injured and was saddened by the fact that the
invisibility skill was destroyed. Raising his head, he saw the Dark Lord approaching.
"It's about time you go to hell you bastard!" The ferocious Dark Lord's bony hand turned into a claw.
With it, he gathered the green light and used it to strike Rocky in the chest.
Rocky blocked it with the wave of his Flaming Blade which in turn created a Moon Blade for added
resistance.
But the moment the curved Moon Blade was summoned, it was immediately shattered into pieces by
the Dark Lord's claw.
Knowing he had nowhere to hide, Rocky braced himself for the attack. Suddenly, a wave of cold
spiritual power came from a distance. Everything in its path ended up overwhelmingly covered in ice
and snow.
Within the blink of an eye, the icy spiritual power got closer to the Dark Lord. A hint of fear momentarily
spread across his face. After a moment's hesitation, he withdrew his hand in the hopes of blocking the
icy spiritual power. With a single wave of his hand, the icy spiritual power disappeared without a trace.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" the Dark Lord demanded as he scanned the mist where the icy spiritual
power came from.
Upon speaking those words, a graceful figure emerged from the mist. Gliding across the ground, she
eventually positioned herself beside Rocky. In a sweet voice, she exclaimed, "Just in time!"
