Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 389 - 379: Using Time as Fire, I Will Burn Away Your Arrogance!
"So, I want to ask you all, why are you causing such havoc in my territory?"
Su Mu stared directly at the two Golden Crows and spoke calmly.
This sentence brought the dazed Golden Crows back to reality and instantly ignited the Little Golden Crow’s fiery temper.
The River of Time is your private property?
I think you’re just spouting nonsense!
It absolutely cannot be true.
Thinking of this, the Little Golden Crow soared into the air, spreading its wings. Divine Fire surrounded its body, and as its aura burst forth, the waters around the floating island began to boil instantly.
In the next moment, droplets of water separated from the surface, hovering behind the Little Golden Crow. Under the powerful Divine Fire, these thousands of droplets were instantly boiled, encased in a layer of Divine Fire.
Seeing his younger brother make a move, the Great Golden Crow, being the elder brother, couldn’t help but sigh and had to take action as well.
The two Golden Crows soared into the sky, like two dazzling suns, radiating sacred and dazzling golden Immortal Radiance.
Behind them, countless water droplets wrapped in Divine Fire hovered, all targeting Su Mu.
When Su Mu saw that these two Golden Crows were about to make a move without saying a word, he planned to teach them a lesson. He also wanted to see what kind of strength these legendary Divine Beasts, the Golden Crows, had.
...
"This is your last warning: leave quickly!" said the Great Golden Crow, bathed in Divine Fire, shouting angrily at Su Mu.
If it weren’t for its younger brother being too impulsive, it didn’t want to rashly attack this Human Race cultivator.
"Brother, why bother talking to him?"
"I think he’s just full of hot air."
With these words, the Little Golden Crow flapped its wings, and the sky full of Water of Time wrapped in Divine Fire shot towards Su Mu.
The Great Golden Crow also had no choice but to act simultaneously.
In an instant, the sky full of Divine Fire transformed into meteor-like flying swords, descending towards Su Mu with the intention of turning him into a sieve.
Just as the Divine Fire was about to penetrate Su Mu’s body, the Little Golden Crow snorted coldly, seemingly unimpressed.
Suddenly.
The sky full of Divine Fire extinguished at the moment of contact with Su Mu’s body, and those droplets of Water of Time instantly froze into ice, turning into ice balls that fell back into the river.
Plop—
Plop—
At this moment, the scene fell silent, only the sound of hailstones hitting the water could be heard.
Throughout the entire process, this Human Race cultivator had not made a move. Not only had he extinguished their Divine Fire, but he had also solidified the Water of Time, turning them into "hailstones"!
It’s important to know that each droplet of Water of Time represents an entire world!
The two Golden Crows were stunned in place, staring at the scene before them with blank minds, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
In their minds, the words of this man echoed again, causing them to re-evaluate. Could what he said be true?
Is this River of Time really his private domain?
But... why didn’t they know about such a big matter?
However, upon closer reflection, it seemed not impossible because for so many years, they had paid little attention to the happenings on the River of Time.
Yet, they seemed to have heard somewhere that a River Guardian had come to the River of Time?
At that time, they just dismissed it as a joke, not paying any heed.
Could it be that the man before them is the River Guardian?
....
Having taken an attack from the opponent unscathed, Su Mu raised his hands, preparing to make a move.
Seeing this, the two Golden Crows immediately descended from the air, and the Great Golden Crow pressed the Little Golden Crow’s head down, bowing to apologize, "Senior, please calm down, show mercy."
Witnessing the quick reversal of this scene, Su Mu suddenly felt his anger had nowhere to go.
"Brother, what are you doing!"
The Little Golden Crow was not happy about being forced to apologize and tried to break free.
Slap—
The Great Golden Crow slapped the Little Golden Crow across the face. With that slap, the Little Golden Crow instantly became obedient, eyes clear, as if asking incredulously, "Brother, did you just hit me?"
"Senior, my younger brother’s temper is too fiery and immature. Please don’t take offense," the Great Golden Crow said with an awkward smile.
Hearing this, Su Mu was amused by the two Golden Crow brothers.
Didn’t you just make your move together??
But the Great Golden Crow was very perceptive, knowing when to bend and when to stretch. Seeing that they couldn’t win, he immediately yielded. As the saying goes, one doesn’t hit a smiling face, especially since the impulsive Little Golden Crow was slapped by his own older brother.
His anger seemed to dissipate in an instant.
This Great Golden Crow is quite shrewd.
.....
"If I’m not mistaken, Senior is the River Guardian, correct?" the Great Golden Crow asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was also taken aback, "You know me too?"
"Of course, Senior’s reputation precedes you. I had only heard rumors before, but seeing you today, you indeed possess the demeanor of an extraordinary person," the Great Golden Crow began to flatter after understanding the situation.
Not to mention they were still healing, with their strength reduced to less than thirty percent. Even at their full strength, they might not last more than a few rounds against this powerful Human Race man.
"What brings you here?" Su Mu changed the subject and inquired.
"Just as Senior might have expected, the two of us were plotted against, suffering extremely severe injuries."
"So we had no choice but to retreat here, using Senior’s domain to heal, our apologies," the Great Golden Crow explained.
Indeed, they were plotted against by ’that person’ and nearly perished. To escape causality and evade deduction, they expended great effort to reach the River of Time, searching for a place where causality could not reach, hiding to start their recovery.
...
"Healing is one thing."
"But why have you turned this water area into such a mess?"
Su Mu asked, getting to the heart of the matter.
Due to their healing efforts, the entire water area had been boiled, and all the creatures in the water were cooked, with no surviving Water Beasts or other life forms.
Upon hearing this, the Great Golden Crow was at a loss for words.
Their injuries were so severe that they could only sacrifice these worlds to heal, violating the principles of celestial order. Countless creatures were consumed by them, truly causing significant slaughter, which was undeniable.
But since being plotted against, their disposition had changed greatly, no longer caring about ’Celestial Order and Morality,’ becoming unscrupulous to achieve their goals.
Who would have expected a River Guardian to appear on the River of Time?
The Great Golden Crow could only offer an embarrassed smile, "Senior, your critique is valid, this was indeed our mistake."
...
"Forget it, what’s done is done."
Su Mu waved his hand and continued to ask, "How much longer do you need to heal here?"
