God Emperor

Chapter 1044: Facing Each Other

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Author’s Note: Huang Yanchen knew that Zhang Ruochen was the Crown Prince of the Sacred Central Empire 800 years ago, so she called him “Chen Ge.” This was not a mistake. Zhang Ruochen called her “Senior Sister.” It was not wrong either.

...

Qin Yu didn’t answer his question, but only said, “What’s the meaning of asking so many questions? You are gonna die anyway.”

It was a piece of cake for a powerful figure at the middle stage of the Ninth Level Half-Saint to kill a Fifth Level Half-Saint. It was doomed that the Son of Deity would be killed by his lance.

Chi chi.

Qin Yu drew the lance on the ground, then fire burst out from its tip and enveloped the whole space.

To end the fight quickly, Qin Yu was prepared to give his whole strength.

Zoom.

His arms shook a little.

The black lance changed into an angry dragon and lit up thousands of lines of flame. It stabbed toward the center of Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows.

The lance was getting close to penetrating Zhang Ruochen’s head, but it slowed down all of a sudden.

In this second, the time was put on pause.

“Life-death Changes of Scale Eight.”

Zhang Ruochen used the most powerful move of the Scales Sword Technique. With a flash of the sword light, a light curve was formed. And Qin Yu’s head flew away in the next instant.

Qin Yu had wanted to end the fight quickly. So did Zhang Ruochen.

Qin Yu’s head hit the ground, making a pounding sound. His eyes were still opened widely, displayihng the feeling of shocked. He asked with a hoarse voice, “Who...are...you?”

“Your head has been cut off, and you are still alive?”

Zhang Ruochen pressed his hand down through space. The pressing of his Holy Qi crushed Qin Yu’s head.

As for Qin Yu’s Half-Saint Light, Zhang Ruochen took it and threw it into the monster ape in the Scroll World.

The Ancient Abyss Sword flew out and refined the lance at the level of a Hundred-pattern Saint Weapon. Dozens of inscriptions inside its sword body increased immediately.

Burning Qin Yu’s corpse into dust, Zhang Ruochen then took off the rune hovering in midair and held it in his palm.

The block went off immediately. And the surrounding space showed up again.

“It’s worth studying how such a rune was able to block the space.”

Zhang Ruochen used another strand of spiritual power and poured it inside the rune to detect its inscriptions.

It was an advanced rune which had a large amount of abstruse inscriptions. It was surely the work of a spiritual saint.

“What a surprise that he had used the Five Elements Inscriptions to copy a rune from spatial inscriptions. Once the rune was activated, it could communicate with Spatial Rules and isolate the space. Although it is a little complicated, it’s practical,” Zhang Ruochen laughed.

Zhang Ruochen could refine a similar rune by himself. He could carve spatial inscriptions directly inside the runes.

The way was easier, but the runes would worked better.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t plan to refine similar runes, for he could isolate and block the space by releasing the Space Domain. Why should he seek the help of a rune?

Zhang Ruochen put the rune away, and said to himself, “Murder has begun before we land on the Blue Dragon Void World. Last time’s warning to her seems to have taken no effect.”

Zhang Ruochen found Huang Yanchen and Qingmo first, then called Sun Dadi and Zhao Shiqi silently.

Not long after, the five people and one cat met together.

“I just got assassinated.”

Zhang Ruochen told them everything happened directly.

“Killer sent by the Saintess?”

Zhao Shiqi changed his face into shock. Apparently he didn’t expect the enemy to take moves so quickly.

“Maybe and maybe not. But she has something to do with it,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Sun Dadi screeched, and said with startles, “The Saintess wants to kill you? I thought that she was in secret love with you! Did the love...turn into hatred...?”

Sun Dadi looked at Huang Yanchen as he said the words, as if he was asking if it had something to do with her.

Zhao Shiqi appeared to be calm. He asked, “What’s your plan, Your Highness?”

“Kill her.”

Huang Yanchen was determined. A strand of coldness gushed out. She had regarded Shangguan Xianyan as an eyesole for a long time, and was ready to attack in extreme ways.

Zhao Shiqi was scared to sweat. He tried to convince her out of it, “We would get punished by the Sect Rules if we kill the Saintess without evidence. Besides, Shangguan Xianyan is surrounded by powerful figures, and she had a good relation with both the Cai Family and the Shangguan Clan. Even if we could kill her, we wouldn’t get away with it.”

Even the careless Sun Dadi put on a serious face, and said, “What should we do? Wouldn’t it be more dangerous to stay with her?”

Apparently, Sun Dadi stood firmly with Zhang Ruochen. He considered things from Zhang Ruochen’s view.

Now, there seemed to be only one choice left for Zhang Ruochen.

It’s to flee right away.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at them, and laughed. “Let’s go. Let’s meet the Saintess.”

It was not his style to be scared off by a Saintess as a Son of Deity.

Even if he had to leave, he had to tell Shangguan Xianyan first that he was capable of fighting her.

Zhao Shiqin’s face lost color because of fear. He didn’t expect that the Son of Deity would make such a decision. Wasn’t he afraid of walking to the death?

But Huang Yanchen looked delighted and followed him before others did.

...

...

In a courtyard of the World Pub.

Shangguan Xianyan stood at the center of nine layers of saint light. She scolded with coldness, “Wei Longxing took the liberty to make the decision by himself. Who gave you the permission to attack Gu Linfeng now?”

Wei Longxing sat on the stone stool. He had put on the five-colored saint armor. The fierce might of him made him like an unrivalled god of war.

He didn’t change his face, and laughed. “Gu Linfeng had an extraordinary talent. If he found the resource in the Blue Dragon Void World, he would become an unrivalled figure immediately. Who could fight him by then? The earlier we get rid of him, the better.”

Shangguan Xianyan gave it a careful thought, and calmed down. Light flickered in her eyes. “Next time, you can’t make the decision without my permission.”

Wei Longxing’s cultivation was high enough to almost compare with figures on the Half-Saint Outer Rank. Apparently he didn’t treat Shangguan Xianyan seriously.

But he was a little afraid of the old man standing behind her.

The old man was a great saint of the Blood God Sect, also the most powerful last resort of her.

The Hierarch of the Blood God Sect had used a secret method to borrow the remaining power of the Blood God through sacrifice, to have sealed the cultivation of this great saint and suppressed his cultivation to the highest limit of the Half-Saint.

The seal wasn’t as simple as sealing his cultivation. It was complicated and dangerous.

In general, if the old man didn’t crack his seal and release his cultivation in the state of saint, he would not crack the space of the Blue Dragon Void World.

Although the old man may have almost same body strength and cultivation of Wei Longxing.

But his understanding of the Saintly Way and his achievement in Saint Spell were far ahead of Wei Longxing. Wei Longxing couldn’t win him in fights.

Shangguan Xianyan asked, “Who did you send over?”

“Qin Yu,” Wei Longxing said.

Shangguan Xianyan nodded slightly. “It is easy for Qin Yu to kill Gu Linfeng.”

In fact, Gu Linfeng in Shangguan Xianyan’s eyes was just a proud person who had an extraordinary talent. He had neither real strength nor brain. It wouldn’t be hard to deal with him.

After Gu Linfeng died, she would surely become the future Hierarch of the Blood God Sect.

After all, the Blood God Sect couldn’t select the third Son of Deity. They couldn’t make an exception like that.

Time passed by, but Qin Yu didn’t return.

“Could there be any incidents?”

Shangguan Xianyan slightly frowned her black brows.

“It can’t be. Qin Yu’s cultivation is much strong enough to kill Zhang Ruochen,” Wei Longxing was confident.

A sound was heard outside the door to the courtyard.

“You want to take my life with just a Qin Yu? Haven’t you underestimated me?”

Gu Linfeng appeared in the courtyard when the last word was heard.

Seeing Gu Linfeng in person, even Shangguan Xianyan and Wei Longxing felt hard to calm down.

It was one thing that Qin Yu had failed to kill Gu Linfeng.

Why should Gu Linfeng come to them? Maybe he had ways to deal with them?

At the minute, Shangguan Xianyan found it hard to read Gu Linfeng. His doings were totally against common sense.

Fierce might was given from Zhang Ruochen’s body. He looked totally different than his normal days. He stared at Shangguan Xianyan and Wei Longxing, and said, “Say it! Who wanted to kill me?”

Shangguan Xianyan stayed silent and didn’t say a word, trying to figure out whether Gu Linfeng had secret methods.

Wei Longxing was only shocked at the beginning. He soon recovered from it and stood up. He said with strength, “I sent Qin Yu to kill you. Why? You are unhappy about it?”

It was felony to plot against the Son of Deity.

Since Wei Longxing dared to admit it, he should have the confidence to never let Gu Linfeng get out of here.
