<h4>Chapter 1060: Diminishing the Fog</h4>


    Both kings were stalling for time.


    The king of ck fog chuckled coldly. "Haha, I might want to give you some time, but I''m afraid the other superior kings won''t let me."


    Li Zongming knew what was going on, but he still asked, "What does this have to do with the other superior kings?"


    The king of ck fog, realizing that he had misspoken, hurriedly corrected himself, "No, it''s nothing..."


    Li Zongming had to work hard to feign ignorance. To be honest, he didn''t feel as though he could keep it up—his opponent''s acting skills were atrocious. He was barely able to hide hisughter.


    After all, Li Zongming knew even more than did the king of ck fog. If the king of ck fog were on the firstyer of understanding, Li Zongming was on the second.


    The king of ck fog felt as though he couldyer another veneer of justification over his ims. "This decision was made jointly by the various superior kings."


    Although he could directly attack the Zongming world, the king of ck fog didn''t want to do so. He could sense that Li Zongming''s aura had grown even stronger than it had been during the meeting. It was clear that he had already digested part of the spoils he had earned during the meeting.


    If they were to start fighting, the king of ck fog, who was only a clone, might not be able to best the Zongming king. Furthermore, he hadn''t seen any sight of Zhang Lie, so the king of ck fog preferred to be more cautious.


    There was no rush; he could take down Li Zongming once his allies had captured the two newly evolved superior worlds. This was something that the other superior kings had agreed to, as well.


    The king of ck fog continued, "Given your attitude, I assume you won''t hand over one of these worlds, then."


    Li Zongming shrugged. "Why should I hand over something that belongs to me by right?"


    While the king of ck fog and Li Zongming dyed each other, a beam of golden light shed apart the air.


    Even the king of ck fog and Li Zongming could barely catch a glimpse of Gold Comet despite being superior kings. The golden scythes tore apart the face formed by the ck fog.


    "What''s this?"


    As Gold Comet shed its scythes, the ck fog scattered. The king of ck fog cried out, "King of Zongming! What bastard is this?"


    Li Zongming shrugged. "Who knows?"


    The king of ck fog was immediately incensed by Gold Comet''s actions.


    "You dare!" The ck fog struck at Gold Comet.


    "Let me help you, king of ck fog." The image of a giant beast appeared behind Li Zongming''s back. It had scales in six colors, with a pair of golden wings behind its back. It had a long, narrow mouth, with eight horns on its head like a golden crown. A ring of light glowed behind him as brightly as the sun.


    Radiant light illuminated the void, scattering the ck fog.


    The ck fog frothed, almost on the verge of exploding.


    Li Zongmingughed. "My goodness! I''m sorry, that was a blunder!"


    Although the king of ck fog''s brain was just fog, that didn''t mean that he was stupid. "So you already knew of the n. Who told you?"


    Li Zongming feigned ignorance. "What are you talking about, king of ck fog? I don''t understand what you''re saying at all."


    The king of ck fog''s voice rose. "Even now, you''re still trying to pretend you don''t know anything?"


    Li Zongming shook his head. "What could you be referring to? I''m not pretending—I simply don''t know."


    Gold Comet had continued scything at the fog during their conversation.


    "Damned bug!" The king of ck fog began to froth. As though the tides were rising, the void filled with ck fog in the form of a tsunami.


    "King of ck fog, let me assist you!" With another burst of radiant light, Li Zongming blocked off the ck fog''s impending attack.


    The king of ck fog cursed, "Zongming king, I''ming for you next!"


    "King of ck fog, what are you talking about? I was trying to help you, but we simply didn''t coordinate! The opponent''s too fast. We need to work together," Li Zongming cried out, even as he sent more beams of light scattering through the void and piercing the king of ck fog''s form.


    Gold Comet''s scythes crossed each other. It whirled in the void, forming a golden drill and prating the ck fog from a different direction.


    The ck fog roiled as Li Zongming frowned. The king of ck fog was a difficult opponent to deal with.


    Li Zongming cried out again, "Sorry, sorry, king of ck fog, I was mistaken!"


    The ck fog slowly condensed and formed a human face once more. "Li Zongming, you''ve already infused the seven superior worlds'' worth of energy into the Zongming world, haven''t you?"


    "King of ck fog, it''s approaching again!"


    Li Zongming yelled out. Golden light condensed. The king of ck fog looked in the direction that Li Zongming was pointing, wary of an actual attack, only to find Gold Comet suddenly speeding into him and piercing him through from behind.


    As the ck fog continuously dissipated from Li Zongming and Gold Comet''s attacks, it slowly lost more and more of its volume.


    Li Zongming cried out, "King of ck fog, I already warned you! Why were you so careless?"


    "You!" If not for Li Zongming''s sudden shout, Gold Comet''s sneak attack wouldn''t have seeded. The ck fog frothed and roiled, then exploded.


    Li Zongming gasped. "King of ck fog, did you explode out of anger?"


    The fog began to rotate rapidly in the air, forming a pitch-ck tornado. Gold Comet did the same, forming a golden tornado and smashing into the nascent ck one.


    Li Zongming struck at the tornado with beams of light, supporting Gold Comet and helping to dissipate the tornado. He called out, "King of ck fog, it seems like you''re struggling to deal with a mere insect! Do you need some more assistance?"


    "Li Zongming, I''ll kill you today!" The king of ck fog even became unable to maintain his human face.


    If not for Li Zongming''s "assistance", the king of ck fog wouldn''t have fared so badly against Gold Comet. He didn''t care about stalling for time any longer; instead, he struck with full force.


    Meanwhile, Gold Comet''s speed had grown to such an extent that its afterimages made it look as though there were hundreds of its clones attacking simultaneously.


    The king of ck fog couldn''t help but be shocked. "Just what is this bug? Where did the king of Zongming find such a pest?"


    As a superior king of antiquity, he was experienced and knowledgeable, but he had never seen the likes of Gold Comet before. An insect that was even faster than a superior king—it was shocking.


    Gold Comet and Li Zongming struck simultaneously once again, diminishing the ck fog further...
