Chapter 1177 – Her Answer (2/2)

There was no problem with the pillar of light from the Sacred Light Continent. Even in his several hundred years of observation within Sangharama Temple, he had never seen such a pure energy.

The problem was with Chen Changsheng's body. The energy of the burning Sacred Light seemed to be a little less than expected.

Of course, this was a good thing.

Black Robe had also noticed this problem.

She was shocked and unable to understand why.

She was well aware of how many sacrifices that Pontifex Maximus of the other race had needed to make the fruit of Chen Changsheng, how much Sacred Light had been poured in.

On an individual level, one could even say that his body contained an infinite amount of Sacred Light.

Even if Chen Changsheng had suffered many injuries over these last few years and bled a great deal of Sacred Light, as well as consumed a great deal, that was not even one-ten-thousandth of the sum total.

How was his body now missing so much Sacred Light that even the spatial path had become unstable?

More and more people began to notice this problem.

And then many people realized the answer.

Black Robe also realized it.

In these last few years, Chen Changsheng had refined many Cinnabar Pills, shedding a great deal of blood every month.

This blood was rich with the energy of Sacred Light, which is why his believers called it divine blood.

Black Robe had an extremely nasty expression. Taking out her metal plate, she closed her eyes and began to calculate.

At the same time, Xu Yourong took out her Fated Star Plate and began to calculate.

The atmosphere became even more tense.

Several dozen gazes moved back and forth between Black Robe and Xu Yourong.

In terms of calculation and predictions, these two women were unquestionably the best in the world.

After a short while, Black Robe opened her eyes, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

After a few moments, Xu Yourong opened her eyes and tiredly shook her head.

The crowd could see what the result was.

”The spatial path truly is rather unstable, but it can last until the Angel army comes over.”

Black Robe stared into Xu Yourong's eyes like she was an old witch staring at an apple. Giggling, she said, ”So you will still have to kill him.”

Tang Thirty-Six did not understand, nor could Xiao Zhang, Linghai Zhiwang, or the rest. If Chen Changsheng died, the spatial path would be severed, and Black Robe's lifelong wish would meet with defeat. Should she not be very nervous? Why did she seem more concerned over whether Xu Yourong would kill Chen Changsheng?

Only Xu Yourong, Ye Xiaolian, and Zhizhi understood, and Nanke had a vague inkling. This was because they were all women.

”You or me?”

Xu Yourong asked.

”I'll do it.”

Chen Changsheng replied.

Swooshswooshswooshswoosh!

Countless swords flew through the air.

White vortices appeared in the sky.

Three thousand swords flew into the air and then returned like swallows. They hovered in the surroundings like a paused downpour.

The South Stream Temple sword array had been formed.

Chen Changsheng stood within.

He had fought many battles this way.

But tonight, all these swords were reversed, their sharp tips pointed at him.

Chen Changsheng closed his eyes.

The three thousands vibrated and buzzed as if struggling.

He had been of one mind with this storm of swords ever since he had taken them out of the Sword Pool. This was the first time such a thing had ever happened.

The swords had received his will, but they were not willing to follow his orders.

But in the end, they were his swords.

Swooshswooshswooshswoosh!

The three thousand swords dropped down from the night sky, a torrential rain aimed at Chen Changsheng!

Tang Thirty-Six's face paled.

Ye Xiaolian's hands tightly covered her mouth.

The cinnabar birthmark between the little Black Dragon's eyes was incomparably red, her vertical pupils raging with fury.

And yet, Xu Yourong was still not looking at him.

She was still looking at Wang Zhice.

Wang Zhice finally moved.

His sleeve ruffled.

But he did not raise his left hand. Instead, he let out a soft shout.

Everyone, including him, had just seen something inconceivable.

Those swords suddenly stopped right as they were about to land, halting in the air.

Time seemed to have stopped.
