Divine Brilliance - Chapter 698
Chapter 698: Same As Me
Gong Xinran was still in deep thought. After a long while, she smiled, “I remembered. You were the one that buried me in this Nine Yin Land. I need to thank you for that. Speaking of which, it was your kindness that caused all this and I have to pay you back. Are you willing to die to serve me?”
Zong Shou frowned, temporarily not worrying about the green-robed Taoist. He carefully observed Gong Xinran, only to see that her eyes were prideful as she looked down, but there was no shine in them at all.
It seemed like she treated what she said as a sure thing.
In the next instant, her tone changed once more, “Oh, I remembered you were the son of the Monster King? Have you inherited the throne? That’s right I heard someone call you Ruler so you must be the owner of Gantian right? The Overlord of the Northwest of Donglin, spanning three provinces, a population of more than a hundred million.”
The moment these words were spoken, the Yin Fire in Gu Mie’s eyes swelled as he looked at Zong Shou once more. The Saber Intent locked onto him.
Lianer gave out a weird smile.
“So it’s the Ruler of a Country, sorry for the disrespect. But, this makes things more interesting. This person’s identity is hugely important to us. What does Your Highness want to do…”
He didn’t worry about the Sword Path first and invincible words that were just spoken.
Even if that was true, it would be a few hundred years later, what did he have to fear?
Gong Xinran was also deep in thought, “That’s true! His identity is useful.”
Zong Shou had already given up so when he heard this, he wasn’t happy, nor furious. He just sighed. His fists clenched tight and internal energy was brimming as he was ready to strike.
Then, he had a thought, his Spiritual Sense felt an aura fly down from above.
It was weak, fizzing out just as it got deep into the black fog. Zong Shou used True Qi to protect it so it could fly down safely.
He was only Grade-6, it was Gong Yue.
Zong Shou’s hesitated.
With Gong Xinran’s current condition, even if Gong Yue came, it was still useless and instead it would make things more dangerous.
Following this, Zong Shou couldn’t help but feel a bit of hope.
After all, he was just her Junior Brother, even if they weren’t close, there was a relationship between them.
Gong Yue was her only Brother…
Just as he was hesitating before Gong Yue was already standing by his side.
He was at a loss, his eyes were filled with sadness, he had a complicated expression on his face, and he opened his mouth in anticipation, “Sister you still remember Yue’er?”
“Yue’er? Of course, my Brother, Gong Yue?”
Gong Xinran shifted her eyes and looked over to where the sound came from. She nodded her head in satisfaction, “You grew up and really look like father! Just six years and are Grade-6. Not bad! Come over here and let me take a close look…”
Gong Yue was delighted when he heard this, not thinking much about it as moved forward.
Zong Shou’s heart sank and he silently picked up his guard.
Gong Xinran ‘s voice didn’t sound like what it should’ve when someone reunited with a loved one. There was no emotion or feeling in her face.
There were only 1,000 feet between them. Gong Yue was not far away in just a dozen steps.
Gong Xinran raised her hand and pointed right at Gong Yue.
Gong Yue was terrified, looking on as a black Energy was about to imprint into his brow, and he couldn’t move at all.
It was filled with Death Energy, before it even arrived it started to steal his life force. Just as he closed his eyes waiting to die, he felt like someone was pulling him from behind. He retreated back to Zong Shou’s side.
Although he was out of danger, he was still terrified. He looked across at her with doubt.
He knew that he would be dead if Zong Shou didn’t save him in time.
Didn’t his sister recognize him? Why did she try to kill him?
He remembered that when they were young she was the one that doted on him the most.
Before he even asked, Zong Shou said with a solemn tone, “Why did you do that? He is your only Brother…”
When she heard this, her brow furrowed and she seemed really curious, “Why are you so nosy? What is so bad about joining my side? If you are by my side, I can take care of you easily.”
Lianer laughed out loud, “Her Highness loves her Brother, so naturally, she wants him to be like her so he could accompany her. What is weird about that? Unfortunately, although you helped her revive, you are the Ruler of a county so it is useful that you are alive. If not, you can also obtain such special…”
He felt slightly shocked, his life saving methods were not bad. Even he wouldn’t have been able to stop her.
He did indeed have some skill. Maybe the reputation of top of the Sword Path wasn’t totally fake.
He looked into the distance, only to see the 6 Vast Xuantong Warriors and the 36 monks all retreating, saying in disdain, “Your Highness, I think it’s best not to waste words with them. If we drag on, they might escape. There are many Spirit Realm Experts that we can make into Yin Puppets to help us into the future…”
Gong Xinran acknowledged and stopped bothering with Zong Shou. The black sickle casually waved and the Death Energy swept once more. Dozens of blade shadows formed in the air and slashed out.
Before there was any outcome, there was a Dragon roar. A formless and invisible Sword Intent exploded out. Instantly, it charged away those black blade shadows.
Lianer exclaimed and looked over in shock, only to see that the Sword Intent came from Zong Shou!
Lianer’s expression became serious, looking carefully at the teen and sizing him up. Although he was only Grade-9, the Sword Intent was actually at the Soul Realm!
It even caused a huge strength to descend down. It was like a mountain and river pressing down, like there were numerous cities and people coming together, forming a shield.
King Path Martial Arts?
But, wasn’t this person just a ruler of a small country? Northwest of Donglin, a place with only a few provinces?
Why could this person gather such a strong King Path Energy?
In the next instant, Zong Shou glanced over, “Although you all entered the Cloud World, you haven’t caused much disaster. If you are willing to return to the Netherworld, I will let you live!”
There was no anticipation, no pity, just an impassive voice.
Lianer was startled and then he began laughing.
Zong Shou really boasted without shame!
Even if he did have some ability, in front of the Nine Yin Death Witch the Ruler personally made, he was like an ant.
Even he could kill him in a few hammers. He actually dared to say he would let them live?
Gong Xinran looked over at the teen curiously like she saw an interesting toy. But, all her interest was soon gone.
Although Zong Shou was the Ruler of a country, that King Path Energy far exceeded what she expected. Such a person probably had a great position in the Cloud World. Even if she controlled him, the many sects would definitely retaliate.
So he was useless…
“Kill him!”
Without needing her to give the order, Gu Mie had already acted. The Bone Saber slashed down with a greenish-blue energy. An unlimited amount of Cold Intent gathered on the blade, bringing with it chill energy which could freeze the Heaven and Earth, Mountains and Rivers, sweeping past 1,000 miles of land.
There was even a huge amount of Death Energy within.
When Lianer saw this, he curled his lips. His partner really hadn’t changed.
It was okay if he didn’t attack. Once he did, he would go all out and not save any strength. He wouldn’t give the enemy any chance too.
Zong Shou looked at Gong Xinran and shook his head. Since he was already filled with killing intent, he didn’t need to hesitate.
He would personally end the mistake he made a few years ago.
Hong!
A pair of lightning wings spread out and stretched 33,000 feet. Black flames swept and charged 10 miles.
All the ice under him melted. The stone on the ground instantly turned into magma.
He didn’t pull out his sword and used his fist instead, punching forward.
The Nine Dragon Shadows behind him roared.
Fire Dragon Vast Sword! Platinum Dragon Sword!
Just two True Dragon Sword Intents, they weren’t stacked, but made into one!
Nine True Dragon’s true important point!
It instantly spread through the air. When the fist and Saber clashed, it was like a Fire Dragon was surrounding Zong Shou’s arm, roaring out. The coldness was shattered in one strike. The Dragon Bone Cavalry Beast under Gu Mie couldn’t take it, its limbs crushed into dust!
Lianer was totally stunned. Gu Mie actually lost?
He seemed to have seen this fist technique before. However, at that time, it didn’t have such strength.
When that Saber Intent charged over, Gong Yue was ashen white. This was the first time he experienced a Spirit Realm Expert’s attack at such a close range.
Just the Saber Intent suppressed him.
He thought that he was definitely dead, but saw such a domineering and cold Saber being smashed easily by Zong Shou with just one fist.
The thin and weak body stood in front of him, not at a disadvantage whatsoever. Looking across, he was like a mountain!
He felt at ease, only to hear Zong Shou’s voice, “I am sorry!”
Sorry? Why did he apologize?
In the next instant, he understood what Zong Shou meant. Gong Yue’s lips curled with a bitter expression.
He was unwilling in his heart, but he knew that Zong Shou tried his best. He also knew that this was the best method and he had no chance to stop it.
Opposite him, the Yin Fire eyes of Gu Mie were filled with disbelief.
That Saber was actually crushed, he was defeated in such a clean manner. What a strong fist!
No, it was a sword! This person used his fist to replace the sword, he was at the peak of the Sword Soul Realm!
How did a Grade-9 Expert have such strong fist power? Even if he used Soul Realm Sword Intent to gather True Qi, he shouldn’t be so strong. Moreover, the strength of the King Path was terrifyingly strong.
Suddenly, Gu Mie’s pupils constricted and a spiritual glow appeared.
“Spirit and Martial Arts Merger! You are a 40% Spirit and Martial Arts Merger!”
