Chapter 978: Capture The Leader

The exclamation sounds spread out, catching everyone off guard. Moments later, the few Saint Realm Experts around reacted, and fear appeared on their faces.

At this moment, a laugh spread out from afar, “You only thought about it now? It’s too late!”

A red shadow spread over along with the voice. It was a thick aura that covered Heaven and Earth, sweeping over like a wave, domineering and fierce.

All the God Realm and Celestial Realm Cultivators on the ship were terrified.

Luckily, that energy didn’t point toward them, but at the woman who used the nine dragon colored ribbon.

The latter frowned, directly giving up on Zong Shou and pulling the ribbon back.

The red shadow flew and protected her body.

There was a loud crash and the entire piece of Spiritual River swelled.

The nine dragon ribbon spread out in the middle and danced about.

The woman laughed coldly as silver light in her arms. Suddenly, a pair of short halberds appeared. They flew out like a pair of flying swallows, drawing a slow but exquisite arc, striking toward Aokun’s aura.

However, the moment she attacked, her expression changed.

When they clashed, she felt like something was taken away from her.

She felt like something wasn’t right, but she couldn’t place her finger on it. At this moment, when the pair of halberds flew out, that feeling became clearer and clearer.

She recalled that Aokun grasped the Existence and Destruction Dao!

Her foundations were already damaged! It really was Aokun!

The moment such a thought flashed across her mind, she wanted to flee.

That laughter became louder and more arrogant. Another fist shadow struck out.

The red ribbons she had broke from the sound. The pair of halberds were also unable to get close at all.

At this moment, an anxious and shocked exclamation spread out.

“Bai Daozi back off, that person is Aokun!”

“Aokun, you really are bored!”

“Stop!”

Many killing intents swept over and seven Celestial Treasures were thrown out.

A few strong auras were also getting close.

However, they were still unable to restrict and stop the fist!

Not worrying about anything, the fist still shot through the air.

Bai Daozi didn’t even have time to think before she was struck head-on by the fist.

Just by coming into contact with it, she knew that it was the Destruction Law. However, at this moment, vast power struck into her body.

A strength that she usually didn’t need to bother about and could easily block was now like a hot knife through butter, crushing her True Qi, and internal energy with no resistance. All her meridians and veins were being crushed one by one.

Hong!

After an explosion, the Bai Daozi’s body immediately split apart and blew into shreds.

Aokun, at the final moment, caused the surrounding space to collapse. With a flash, he was several God Realm breaths away.

He was of the Instant Space Bloodline. Although he cultivated in Cause and Effect, the spacetime abilities he grasped were also really deep.

He was no weaker than Zong Shou who grasped the Book of Eon and Three Thousand Star Falling.

Just two strikes and he was able to kill Bai Daozi before retreating 1,000 miles away.

The few Saint Realm Venerables who teleported over used their Spiritual Sense to cover.

When he appeared once more, he coughed like his heart was being ripped and his lungs were tearing, his face was ashen white.

He stopped with much difficulty before he mocked himself, “Only this part of the Existence and Destruction Dao is not good. To harm others, I will have to hurt myself. It is easy to kill Bai Daozi but after I go back, without any treasures I will need to heal for many years.”

However, no one around dared to laugh.

Aokun was indeed injured but Bai Daozi was smacked down directly by the Saint Realm.

Her foundations were injured and a crucial part was wiped out. Then, the second fist killed her!

Looking at the situation, her soul and body were destroyed and nothing was left.

If she didn’t have any life protection measures prepared, then she would be destined to never see the light of day.

Even if this person was injured, no one dared to underestimate him and they were even more wary.

When they clashed with him, unless he used up all of his strength, they were destined to die.

Fortunately, this person was only Intermediate Saint Realm. If he stepped into End Realm, then what would happen?

The muscles on Liujue’s face were clenched tight. His face was dark and sunken like water.

They just clashed and a Saint Realm fell. It would be much of a waste, even for Yuanlian World!

Since Aokun was here, then the one who loved him deeply in legends…

Looking out, as expected, a woman wearing a white shirt was slowly walking over.

Where she passed through turned into ice.

There was no water in the World River and the laws became frozen, the laws of Heaven and Earth!

It caused the entire World River to stop flowing, the spiritual energy that took physical form solidified and no longer moved.

It was Aoyi!

Aoyi who reached half a step to End Realm!

Chengxing’s pupils constricted unnaturally.

He had heard that this woman was one of the few of the Cloud World, apart from Wei Xu and Kunming who had the highest hope of entering End Realm.

Now, he noticed that he had still underestimated her.

An ice-cold power spread out and covered this area. Anywhere within 30 God Realm breaths were covered with an icy chill.

It was just one step away from freezing everything entirely!

If she took that step, then she would be able to enter End Realm.

“Aoyi!”

Liu Muchen’s fists clenched tight before relaxing once more.

Along with her arrival, that half step End Realm Spiritual Sense descended on this region.

Not only did the God Realm and Celestial Realm cultivators find it tough, but so did the few Saint Realms too.

Although there were nine of them here, there were only two who reached Intermediate Saint Realm. Most of them were still at initial Saint Realm.

He was the only person who could fight against this woman. He also needed to use the power of the army here and the strength of the country.

Unfortunately, this place wasn’t his country’s land, otherwise, he might have been able to suppress her!

Things became clearer and clearer. Zong Shou’s provocative words a month ago was a trap!

He felt bitter in his heart. If not for Guyue being arrogant, rejecting, and not asking for advice from the Celestial Dynasty, maybe their Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty wouldn’t have to be in such a state…

He clenched his fists once more and his fingernails stabbed deep into his flesh. His eyes were still really calm.

“Is the deal that Ruler mentioned to give up 30 small worlds still valid?”

If he was able to maintain their strength and retreat, they would be able to easily obtain 30 worlds.

It might even be possible to take revenge for today.

Zong Shou nodded when he heard this, but he didn’t want to go too far.

“Of course, but you also must be able to achieve the conditions.”

He had to kowtow and admit his mistakes, and destroy his Saint Realm cultivation!

If he could do that, then Liu Muchen and his Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty wouldn’t be a threat to him anymore.

He could also just let him leave.

So what? He was thinking about this person.

If they didn’t end it here, when Sky Burning Lu Family started to ask questions, then he would be in a worse state.

A vengeful Intent appeared in his eyes and green veins appeared on his neck.

Moments later, he suppressed it and scoffed coldly.

“You have these two, so no wonder you are so confident! However, you might be too confident! Since you have no sincerity, then I will just go all out!”

Shaking his head, he turned around, “Brother Ji, Brother Han, Brother Xu! The three of you should know that if the lips die, the teeth will feel the cold. Please help me. I will naturally seal with Aokun, please handle the rest.”

Jiming and Hantao didn’t say a word, only solemnly nodding.

But the man surnamed Xu who Lu Wubing didn’t know about laughed, “Don’t worry Emperor Lord, I, Xu Xun, naturally know the seriousness! I will definitely go all out.”

As long as he didn’t face Aokun, then even if his opponent was the woman in the white shirt in front of him who was half a step to End Realm, he had the confidence to fight her.

If he couldn’t, then there would still be a chance to flee. He wouldn’t have a drop in Realm, foundations being injured, or danger of dying.

In the eyes of people like him, Aokun was much more terrifying than Aoyi.

Liu Muchen calmed down and looked at the people around, “Palace Head, Qingming, your Taoist Faction and him are enemies. If I lose here, he won’t let you all off that easily. Why don’t we work together and we might have a chance to win. Working together might give us a chance to turn the tables.”

Along with these two Saint Realm cultivators who were by no means weak, there were a total of 11!

Chengxing listened on and felt bitterness in his mouth.

There were 11 Saint Realm Experts here, but the Emperor was missing out on two people.

Yuan Wushang’s puppet could take one of them.

Apart from that, there was Yexuan. 200 years ago, he was really famous; God Realm to fight three Saint Realm Venerables, the Dao Xiaoyao of Xiaoyao Xuan.

Qingming’s face was cold and her expression didn’t change.

“Of course, we will try our best…”

They would obviously try their best to escape. With their strength to go all out, they might be able to restrict Zong Shou for a while.

What they needed was that short moment.

Liu Muchen laughed out loud and flashed away from the carriage.

He appeared above Aokun, holding a huge clock and smashed down.

The latter instantly reacted, teleporting away.

Killing intent intersected and Aokun was slightly shocked. His True Qi was retracted and his Dao foundations were like steel. It seemed to cover his entire body with no weaknesses to speak of. Even he had nowhere to act on.

Aokun laughed coldly. 70% of his strength was used to solidify his body, so how strong could he be?

He punched out into that giant clock.

Along with a loud ring, it caused Liu Muchen whose cultivation was much higher to retreat.

The few Saint Realm Venerables who were beside the ship moved.

Liujue, Guanzhong, and the other three charged at Zong Shou.

When Jiming and Hantao saw this, they understood. They had to capture the leader. Their only chance was to grab Zong Shou!
