Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3611

"You're no match for me," the Ghost Valley Sage said with an air of indifference.

Grunt's face darkened as if he had received the worst humiliation in his life. "Stop that nonsense and give yourself up!" He increased his speed.

The Ghost Valley Sage chuckled softly and blocked Grunt's attack with his right hand. Then, a fierce battle ensued in the air. In the beginning, Grunt could block all of the Ghost Valley Sage's attacks easily, but as time passed, he found it more and more difficult to do that. Finally, he was completely suppressed by the Ghost Valley Sage.

At that moment, everyone, including the Nine Heaven Emperor, was shocked at finding out that Grunt was no match for the Ghost Valley Sage at all. After all, Grunt was a fierce general, and his power was renowned all over the Godly Region. However, the Ghost Valley Sage seemed to have broken no sweat in subduing him.

Suddenly, the officials started to whisper amongst themselves. The gist of their conversation was about how strong the Ghost Valley Sage was that even Grunt could not do anything to him. The Nine Heaven Emperor took a deep breath and looked at the Ghost Valley Sage with conflicted emotions in his eyes. He never expected him to be that strong. It looked like he had made a mistake in allowing Grunt to go against him.

Then, they saw the Ghost Valley Sage wave his hand, and a palm attack erupted, which sent Grunt staggering backward.

Grunt managed to steady himself with great difficulty, and his expression was incredibly frightening. Finally, he retreated to the Nine Heaven Emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but there's something weird about the Ghost Valley Sage. I—"

The Nine Heaven Emperor interrupted him. "Save it. Stop finding excuses for yourself. Just admit you're no match for him."

Immediately, Grunt's face turned beet red, and at the same time, he turned his raging gaze at the Ghost Valley Sage. He would not have humiliated himself in front of the Nine Heaven Emperor if not for him.

The Nine Heaven Emperor swept his eyes across everyone and, with a cold face, asked, "Who would like to volunteer to go against the Ghost Valley Sage next?"

It would be embarrassing if no one could take the Ghost Valley Sage down out of so many officials, soldiers, and generals. The officials looked at each other and then instinctively dropped their heads down. Who would want to volunteer themselves when even the almighty Grunt could not defeat the Ghost Valley Sage?

The Nine Heaven Emperor's face darkened. 'That bunch of useless b*stards! I can't count on them at all!'

"Your Majesty, the Ghost Valley Sage is truly powerful. It will only tarnish your reputation if we continue fighting like this. Might I suggest you use Heavenly Thunderbolt against him?" Grunt said cautiously.

At the mention of Heavenly Thunderbolt, the Nine Heaven Emperor's face became solemn and hesitating. After all, the Heaven Thunderbolt was extremely powerful. He would only use that as a last resort. Ten thousand years ago, during the godly battle, he had used the Heavenly Thunderbolt to kill countless demons, and he had never used it since then. It seemed a bit of an overkill to use it against the Ghost Valley Sage.
