God Emperor

Chapter 1872: Bowing

“Ally?”

Mr. Godcliff was startled for a second. He could not help glancing at Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu, realizing that there was more to the coming of Ji Fanxin than met the eye.

Zhang Ruochen was all smiles. “I wonder why a respective figure such as Mr. Godcliff likes to make shady deals. The Fairy of a Thousand Flowers is my confidante. If you think of trying to lay your hand on her, you had better perish the thought, Mr. Godcliff.”

“I guess you know what side your bread is buttered on and will not make me your enemy, right, Fairy?” Mr. Godcliff looked frosty.

Ji Fanxin shot a look at Zhang Ruochen. “If you leave Warsoul Star now, then we are not enemies.”

“What if I insist on taking away Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu?”

Mr. Godcliff snickered as his spiritual power gushed out, circling above him as it turned into a cloud of array.

The powerful force was overwhelmingly oppressive. It engulfed the entire area as if it was threatening Ji Fanxin. If she was to interfere in his business, she would be relentlessly attacked.

“Then we are enemies.” Ji Fanxin was unperturbed.

“You have guts, Fairy. Let’s hope you won’t regret it later.”

Mr. Godcliff said nothing more, and he raised his hands.

The earth shook in a loud rumble as nine small hills, each about two-thousand feet high, rose from below to engulf Zhang Ruochen, Ji Fanxin, and the cultivators from the Tianchu Civilization.

A bright light was shining on the top of the nine hills.

Light beams connected them together to form an array inscription.

“Mr. Godcliff could set up an array in just the blink of an eye. It seems he has reached the pinnacle of array attainment.”

Zhang Ruochen looked grave. He was not so sure if Ji Fanxin could handle Mr. Godcliff. So he opened the World Gate of the Qiankun Realm to summon Awesome, the Little Taoist, whose attainment in arrays was top-notch and who could probably keep Mr. Godcliff in check to a certain extent.

Awesome, the Little Taoist and Ji Fanxi saw the nine small hills standing on the earth and immediately recognized them. “It’s the Earth Heart Array!”

Mr. Godcliff lifted off and stood in the array cloud in the air, looking down haughtily. “It is still not to late to change your mind, Fairy.”

“The Earth Heart Array is powerful, no doubt. But it requires spiritual power to drive it. This array will be good for nothing once I suppress your spiritual power.” Ji Fanxin was unmoved.

“Are you saying that an array master’s spiritual power is weak, Fairy? Other than Spiritual-Power Supreme Saints, no one has ever defeated me in spiritual power. It is a shame that there is no Spiritual-Power Supreme Saint in the Kunlun Realm.” Mr. Godcliff chucked.

“Let me try.”

Ji Fanxin drove a blanket of floral rain and rose into the air with a lotus seal appearing on her brow.

The lotus seal glowed and illuminated the entire Warsoul Star, the energy so overpowering that it shook the array cloud under Mr. Godcliff’s feet.

At first, there was still a smile on Mr. Godcliff’s face.

Gradually, however, his smile disappeared, and his expression became grave. He had to gather his strength to deal with Ji Fanxin’s spiritual-power attack and no strength left to control the Earth Heart Array.

Zhang Ruochen was seeing for the first time how terrific Jin Fanxin’s spiritual power was when she used all her strength.

“The Fairy of a Thousand Flowers is truly the ancient Lotus of Divine Reflection; she could actually challenge Mr. Godcliff single-handedly. What say we kill Mr. Godcliff now?” said Fool.

“I couldn’t wait. Let’s do it!”

Zhang Ruochen summoned his Ancient Abyssal Blade and gathered Eighth Sword’s Sword Will to cover the sword blade.

Following immediately, the Ancient Abyssal Blade faded into a beam of black light and struck at Mr. Godcliff in the air.

“How dare you!”

Drifter made his move by taking out a wheel-shaped sacred artifact and striking the Ancient Abyssal Blade.

The Ancient Abyssal Blade was Seven-Radiance Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifact, extremely sharp. One strike caused the wheel-shaped sacred artifact to crack, nearly half broken.

Drifter was shocked and casting out five more sacred artifacts, each was of superior grade.

While Zhang Ruochen and Drifter were fighting, the Blood Wasp Ashuran King emerged from the blood fog. Surrounding him were a thousand blood wasps.

Besides, there were four more figures.

They were Dizu Prince, Yue Gongming, the 14th Prince, and Shiqing Shenzi. None of them had made it out of this place.

There were a few dozen blood wasps on their bodies.

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King had surely known how powerful the Fairy of a Thousand Flowers’ spiritual power was. If Zhang Ruochen and others were to kill Mr. Godcliff, he would be at the disadvantage.

It was important to maintain a balance in a three-cornered fight.

So he could find an opportunity in the balance to get rid of the other two parties.

“If you want me to spare their lives, Luoji, ask Zhang Ruochen to hand me the Supreme Artifact,” said the Blood Wasp Ashuran King.

Dizu Prince, the 14th Prince, and Shiqing Shenzi was badly wounded, looking at Fairy Tianchu for help.

Not that they were afraid of death. They just did not want to die on Warsoul Star like this.

They were all talented with an aptitude for Supreme Sainthood. A bright future was waiting for them.

Fairy Tianchu frowned. “You must have been mistaken, Blood Wasp Ashuran King. I am I, Zhang Ruochen is Zhang Ruochen. Get the Supreme Artifact by yourself if you want it. Don’t dream of me getting it for you.”

“Is it?”

With the snap of the Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s fingers, a few dozen blood wasps entered the 14th Prince’s body and sucked his blood.

He could not even self-ignite his Sainthood Source because the Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s spiritual power was suppressing his willpower.

The 14th Prince’s body was mutilated and shriveling in front of Fairy Tianchu and others.

At last, a blood wasp devoured the 14th Prince’s Sainthood Source.

As arrogant as Dizu Prince and Qingshi Shenzi were, their bodies unwittingly trembled while their faces turned pale.

While fighting Drifter with the Ancient Abyssal Blade, Zhang Ruochen spun around and shot a glance at the Blood Wasp Ashuran King.

Not that Zhang Ruochen liked the 14th Prince, just that the sudden death of the Celestial Court’s divine son, who sat in the high heavens, was depressing.

“You don’t have to resort to such an underhanded method if your target is the Supreme Artifact, Blood Wasp Ashuran King. You have the strength. But by doing this, aren’t you afraid it will taint your good name?” said Zhang Ruochen.

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King was not afraid of Zhang Ruochen and gangs. In fact, he did not see them as worthy opponents.

What he was worried about was that if he killed Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu, it would upset the equilibrium of the three sides. If that happened, Mr. Godcliff and Ji Fanxin might stop fighting each other and turn against him instead.

So, the Blood Wasp Ashuran King just needed to keep Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu in check while waiting for Mr. Godcliff and Fairy Tianchu to fight each other. Better still if there was a mutual annihilation.

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King could care less of Zhang Ruochen, pointing at Dizu prince. “On your knees and bow to me. Or else, your fate will be the same as the 14th Prince.”

“You, I...”

Dizu Prince gritted his teeth, his ego disallowing him to bow to anyone else.

“On your knees!”

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King roared, shaking Dizu Prince’s Saint Soul, almost shattering it.

Dizu Prince felt a blood wasp crawling on his forehead. The next second, sharp pain from a bite hit him.

He dropped to his knees, cold sweating drenching in his body.

Indignation and fear of death crushed his ego, finally.

“Let me go... I can... bow to you...” His voice shivered. i????????r????????????.＆nbsp;com

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King nodded in satisfaction, then did the same thing to Shiqing Shenzi and Yue Gongming, who buckled and bowed in front of his feet.

Fairy Tianchu shook her head in disappointment.

“Cowards like you all are dreaming of courting Her Highness Fairy. It feels disgusting just thinking of it.” Butcher spat.

“They are not even qualified to be Her Highness Fairy’s followers,” said Fool.

“Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I am going to record this scene down.”

Awesome, the Little Taoist, clapped his hands and smirked. He took out a scroll and used his spiritual power to print the scene of Dizu Prince, Yue Gongming, and Shiqing Shenzi bowing to the Blood Wasp Ashuran King on the scroll.

Dizu Prince and the others were as humiliated as they were furious.

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King looked nonchalant. “You all are big boys in the Celestial Court and should know what the consequence will be if they tell others what happens today. Now, I order you to kill them.”

Dizu Prince, Shiqing Shenzi, and Yue Gongming slowly got to their feet hesitatingly.

First of all, bowing to the Blood Wasp Ashuran King was just an expedient measure. They planned to avenge their humiliation later once their cultivation base was up to snuff.

However, just as the Blood Wasp Asuran King said, if they did not get rid of the cultivators from the Tianchu Civilization and let the news leak out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Don’t you all want to get your hands on Fairy Tianchu? Whoever captures her will own her. Don’t worry, as long as they all die, no one is going to know you all have bowed to me, and you all still the divine son and prince as usual. A bright figure awaits you,” said the Blood Wasp Ashuran King.

Dizu Prince, Shiqing Shenzi, and Yue Gongming had shaken their last bit of hesitation away. Together with a swarm of blood wasps, they attacked Zhang Ruochen, Fairy Tianchu, and the others.

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King did not trust them completely, however. He still left dozens of blood wasps on three of their bodies to kill them if necessary.

“Interesting. This is really interesting.”

The Blood Wasp Ashuran King watched on with a plastic smile on his face.

A sense of calmness replaced the disappointment on Fairy Tianchu’s face. “Let’s do it—kill them all.”
