The Medallion
Chapter 1539 Narrow Escape From Death

"Soul-annihilating Palm Attack!" The next moment, the old woman slapped out a dark palm shadow, which carried an overwhelming amount of potent evil spirit. It made Rocky feel like he was drowning-like no air could reach his lungs-even before it could come close. He could tell that the power contained within it was exceedingly terrible, and it could very well take his life.

"So this is the extent of an Emperor Realm master's strength!"

Rocky's facial expression grew somber, but he didn't show any trace of fear. Although he wasn't sure that he could completely resist the old woman's attack, he was fairly confident that her attack wouldn't be enough to kill him.

Of course, the only reason that Rocky was risking his life was to keep Carla safe.

Using the Spiritual Power Intensifying Skill, he increased his strength to the advanced stage of the Spiritual Infant. He knew that this was far from enough to resist the old woman's blow, but he needed to fight her head-on.

He also drew the Mystical Dragon Sword and instantly activated the Thousand-star Swordsmanship.

In the air, countless sword lights twinkled like stars at the same time, condensing strong sword power. As the Mystical Dragon Sword attacked out of the blue, it collided with the woman's black palm shadow, which continuously consumed the Soul-annihilating Palm Attack's power.

However, it was a pity that even though the Thousand-star Swordsmanship was at the advanced stage of the Spiritual Infant, its strength was barely a drop in the bucket in the face of the old woman's Soul- annihilating Palm Attack.

After a while, the power of the Thousand-star Swordsmanship started to fade, while the old woman's attack had already burned off the spiritual power protecting Rocky's body. It looked like this attack could hur or even kill him at any time.

At that moment, Rocky suddenly sensed an inexplicable surge of power coming from his Magic Spiritual Space, and it felt like something was about to come out. Next, a shadow of icy light suddenly broke out of the space and instantly rushed into his body.

Soon, he felt an icy power surge all over his body like a cresting wave, and his skin began to change, affected by some unknown power. Scales and ice began to form over his skin, as his entire body slowly fused with a piece of ice armor. Wearing the gorgeous armor, he looked like an avenging angel coming down from the heavens to bestow justice.

And lastly, an ice helmet with a peculiar shape materialized over his head, as four rays of icy light shone in an instant, which looked astounding.

"Is this the Magic Icy Armor?"

Rocky didn't expect that at this critical moment, the Magic Icy Armor would suddenly activate and fuse into his body. After all, he thought it had lost all its spiritual power and was good for nothing but scrap metal.

Of course, he also knew that this couldn't be an accident. It likely had something to do with the recovery of his divine power.

The Magic Icy Armor was, in fact, a divine weapon, so under the activation of the same power, it could regain its power as a divine weapon.

However, Rocky doubted that the armor's effect could last long, especially in the face of such a fearsome adversary.

In the next breath, the old woman's Soul-annihilating Palm Attack hit his chest, but the Magic Icy Armor bounced it away like it was nothing.

All this happened in an instant, so even the old woman couldn't believe what she had seen.

"I did what I said. I have blocked one move from you,"

Rocky told her resolutely.

"This can't be possible. How did you do that?

And what is that treasure on you?" she asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

It seemed that she had finally realized the tremendous power of the Magic Ice Armor. "I don't have to tell you because it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I hope you can keep your promise!" he muttered coldly.

"Are you kidding me? There's no way I can let you leave."

Evidently, she had made up her mind to keep the two of them trapped in this place with her.

Of course, Rocky had also expected this. He had been a little worried at the start, but with the help of the Magic Icy Armor, he had the chance to send Carla inside his Magic Spiritual Space. The armor was strong enough to break through his Magic Spiritual Space, so it would certainly help.

In the blink of an eye, Carla disappeared from where she stood.

"What?! Where did the girl go?"

the old woman snarled when she saw that Carla disappeared.

"She's in a safe place now. If you kill me, you will never get to her,"

Rocky sneered back at her.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

As the old woman realized she had been tricked, she grew incredibly furious.

At this point, a black light suddenly shone at the old tree house, and then a wand instantly rushed out of the house and flew to the old hag's hand.

"This Demonic Soul Wand will suck your soul out, and you will become my puppet. I can't wait to make you do whatever I want," the old woman said with a sinister smile.

She promptly raised the wand in her hand, and a black light flashed from the tip, which instantly encased the entire area.

Rocky's knees almost collapsed from under him as an extremely powerful evil force pounced on him, until he couldn't resist its force. His mind soon became blurred, and the wand began to absorb his soul. Before he knew it, he felt like something was gushing out of his body, and he grew weaker and weaker by the second.

Just as Rocky was at death's door, the Scarlet Heaven Jade in his pocket abruptly flashed and rushed out of his clothes, shooting towards the old woman.

The old hag didn't expect this to happen, as she thought that Rocky was as good as dead. Before she could react, the Scarlet Heaven Jade struck her hard on the chest, and a blinding light blazed as tremendous martial spirit power rushed into her body. Then, a streak of martial spirit seemed to have been forcefully pulled from her body and was sucked into the Scarlet Heaven Jade.

"No!

This can't be happening!

How can a brat like you defeat me?"

The old woman's martial spirit let out a wretched howl like a dying animal before the Scarlet Heaven Jade absorbed her fully.

In an instant, the old woman's body turned into nothing but skin, falling heavily to the ground with a dull thud. The wand in her hand also fell to the ground as the black light disappeared. As soon as the old hag and the light were gone, Rocky suddenly recovered all his strength. He took a deep breath, as he felt the strength and energy come back to his body. "Phew! That was close!"

Rocky glanced uncertainly at the corpse of the old woman and the Scarlet Heaven Jade with lingering fear. He didn't expect that the Scarlet Heaven Jade could absorb a martial spirit. Of course, if it weren't for the old woman's carelessness, the Scarlet Heaven Jade wouldn't have taken advantage of the opportunity. After all, she just had a taste of her own medicine. Then, Rocky walked to the corpse of the old hag, picked up the Scarlet Heaven Jade, and put it away, immediately opening his Magic Spiritual Space.

A moment later, Eunice helped Carla, who was wearing Rocky's white coat, come out. The two women were shocked when they saw the corpse of the old woman lying on the ground. "No way! You actually killed her?!"

Eunice asked in astonishment.

"Kind of?"

Rocky answered with an indifferent shrug.

"She is a powerful warrior at the Emperor Realm!

Wow! How did you defeat her?"

Carla couldn't believe her ears, but the corpse in front of her proved that Rocky was telling the truth.

"I guess fate determined that it wasn't my time to go yet."

Rocky knew that if it weren't for the attack of the Scarlet Heaven Jade, the wand would have fully absorbed his soul until he was nothing but a puppet for that old hag. He shuddered at the thought of what could have been.

"By the way, have you checked her out?

The Army-blessing Scroll could be somewhere on her person," suggested Eunice.

Rocky nodded affirmatively and immediately bent down to search the old woman's corpse, but he did not replace anything valuable.

"That's strange. If it wasn't on her, where else could it be? I was expecting that we'll get it once she's dead,"

Eunice whined and pouted.

"Hmm, let me try using the page again."

Rocky took out the damaged piece of the Army-blessing Scroll. The moment he brought the page out, the bone-filled room on the tree house suddenly glowed with golden light, and powerful spiritual power roared out like a thousand beasts, which was quite mind-blowing!☐☐☐☐
